My Love Wont Let You Down - Hosie

Chapter 1 - You're Hope Mikaelson?

Hope had grown up without her parents. The had both died to protect her, something she always hated, what made her worth dying for. As a teenager she had a lot to deal with, being an all powerful tribrid, with dead parents and a last name the struck fear in the hearts of everyone is was easy to make friends, in fact she never really did. When Hope inherited the Mikaelson fortune at 21 she knew she had to do something worthwhile with it. She donated large sums of the money to charities around the world to help children who had lost their parents, and turned the Mikaelson name into a force for good. She opened up a shelter in New Orleans for supernatural kids who needed help. She was determined that no one should ever have to grow up the way she did.

Hope had travelled to Mystic Falls to help out at one of the charities there, the Mystic Falls shelter was the largest of the shelters Hope donated to, it seems the little town had a lot of trouble, in more ways than people realised. Hope had met Caroline when she was younger, her father always spoke highly of the woman, so when Hope heard she was transforming the Salvatore Boarding House into a rescue centre for children, both supernatural and human, she knew she had to donate. She regularly visited to spend time with the children, today she had offered to take a group of them to the park.

"Hopey, wanna play catch with us?" One of the young girls asked. Hope smiled at the silly nickname, before joining in with their game. This group of children were supernatural, mostly wolves but there were a couple of vampires who were more than happy to just sit and watch. The children had quickly gained control of their powers and didn't use them in public, too often, but Hope could feel the strength used when she caught the ball. It was fine they were playing amongst themselves and she was with them no one would get hurt. Or so she thought, all of a sudden one of the young boys throw the ball a little harder than expected and it flew straight over Hope's head towards a woman stood near the edge of the park.

Hope ran as fast as she 'humanly' could managing to push the woman out of the way of the ball, knocking her and the phone she was looking at onto the ground.

"I'm so sorry, the ball was heading straight for you and I didn't want you to get hurt, though I realise that may have backfired." Hope chuckled holding out a hand to help the young woman up. "Are you okay?"

"I'm okay, I can't say the same about my phone though." The young woman laughed looking at the smashed screen of her phone.

"Oh, I'm sorry, let my pay to get the screen fixed." Hope offered, giving the woman her signature Mikaelson smile.

"Don't worry about it, the thing was so old anyway, its about time I got a new one." The woman chuckled putting the broken phone into her pocket and dusting herself off.

"Well in the case let me buy you a new one." Hope offered.

"I could never expect you to do that, I could have broken it at any point."

"Please I insist, there's a phone shop in the mall down the road, please, I knocked you over and broke you phone, I feel bad." Hope pleaded with the woman.

"I will not let you buy me a new phone, but if it would make you feel better you can come with me to get a new one." The woman suggested.

"Deal." Hope smiled, turning her attention briefly back to the kids. "Hey, Will, you guys play a little longer then head back, I told Caroline we'd be back at the boarding house for dinner." Hope shouts to the eldest group.

"Okay Hope, see you later." The boy shouted back.

"So...Hope, you know Caroline Forbes-Salvatore?" The woman asked.

"Yeah, since I was a kid, how did you know that's who I was talking about?" Hope questioned.

"Caroline at the Boarding House, there is not many people that fit that description, besides I too have know Caroline since I was a kid." the woman laughed.

"Oh well that make sense."

"Yes it does, come on, lets go get this phone so you can be back for dinner." the woman laughed.

"Oh right, yeah lets go." Hope smiled leading the way.

"It's Josie by the way."

"Josie?"

"My name, it's Josie, you never asked but I thought you should know." Josie laughed at the confused look on Hope face.

"That's a nice name." Hope smiled looking at the woman, she'd finally slowed down enough to notice how beautiful she was, her brown eyes shinned as though they had flakes of gold in them, her hair fell effortlessly as her shoulders, her face was soft and kind. The more Hope watched Josie as they walked the more drawn she felt towards her, there was a small feeling of magic pulsing from her. Normal Hope would not have noticed, to overwhelmed by her own power, but she did, and that made her wonder about the young woman more and more.

It was a short walk to the mall, only taking the two of them 10 minutes, they chatted a little sharing little details about their lives but nothing much. They arrived at the mall very much still strangers but with the feeling that they wouldn't be for long. They entered the phone store and Josie became very excited about the new range of iPhone.

"Woah, the iPhone 12, that's supposed to have a really good camera, too bad I can't afford it." Josie said excitedly looking at the phone.

"Yeah it's got a pretty good camera, I got mine a week ago." Hope said showing Josie her phone.

"That's so cool, I wish I could get it, Lizzie would be so jealous." Josie laughed to herself.

"Lizzie?" Hope asked.

"My twin sister, she's wanted the new iPhone since it was realised, but there's nothing wrong with the one she's got and her and her boyfriend are trying to save to get an apartment together." Josie explained.

"Well it would be nice to make a sibling jealous. What colour would you get?" Hope asked trying not to sound suspicious.

"I like the green colour, but it doesn't matter, I could never afford it." Josie sighed walking over the more affordable phones, giving Hope the perfect opportunity to sneak away.

"Hello Miss, how can I help you?" The man behind the counter asked.

"Hello Kaleb." Hope said reading the mans name tag. "I would like to buy a green iPhone 12 please, with the most storage you have."

"Okay Miss, let me just head to the back and see what we've got." Kaleb said heading off to find the phone.

"Hope what I you doing?" Josie asked appearing beside the Mikaelson.

"I was asked if they could have a look at the charging port on my phone, is wasn't work...."

"Here you are Miss, 1 Green iPhone 12, how would you like to pay for it?" Kaleb said returning from the back.

"You lied." Josie said from next to Hope.

"Card, please Kaleb, can I get a case and screen protector as well?" Hope smiled at the man ignoring Josie.

"Certainly." Kaleb said grabbing a case and screen protector from behind him.

"Hope this is ridiculous." Josie complained from beside Hope, before giving up as she clearly wasn't listening.

"Thank you Kaleb." Hope said paying for the phone and returning her card to her bag, "Here, for you help." Hope said handing Kaleb $100.

"Thank you Miss..."

"Mikaelson, Hope Mikaelson." Hope smiled.

"Thank you, Hope Mikaelson, you have just given me the last bit I needed to buy my new car." Kaleb said excitedly.

"You're welcome, have a good day." Hope smiled once more before taking the bad and exiting the shop, followed by a shocked Josie.

"Here you are, one new phone" Hope smiled her Mikaelson smile, extending the bag towards Josie.

"You...YOU'RE HOPE MIKAELSON?" Josie shouted a little louder than intended.
