In a new light

chapter 2: I feel safe in your arms

Before she could continue to freak out Hope spoke again "of course silly otherwise I wouldn't let you hug me" Hope giggled Lizzie soon began to laugh as well. If you would have said to Lizzie a day earlier that she would be hugging and laughing in the snow with Hope Mikaelson she would have laughed in your face and called, you crazy but look now here she is laughing and hugging the girl she hated just an hour ago.

"Remind me to thank your dad tomorrow" Hope said, "what? Why would you have to thank my dad" Lizzie said a little breathless because of the laughing. "Well, if he didn't make us get these supplies we wouldn't have made up" for the first time in years she felt happy and it was all because of the blond in her arms.

"Then maybe we should thank him" Lizzie said, "hey do you know what hour it is?" Hope asked now noticing how dark it is "uhm no I don't have any idea but maybe we should head back" she said not really wanted to because she was happy right now, but she knew that they needed to get back. Hope wrapped herself from the younger girl with a disapproving grunt.

The walk back to the school was silent both girls deep in thought about what happened. When they arrived in front of Hope's dorm, they stood still neither knew why they did it but neither said anything they just stood there looking at each other.

After a moment Hope decided it was for the best to move inside the room before they ran into someone they did not want to see and not to forget it was also past curfew apparently. As hope looked at the clock 00:43 she and Lizzie had spent 2 hours in each other arms not that she minded far from it actually she was glad she and the other girl could get along Lizzie was still standing in the doorway "are you coming or are you going to stand there all night" Hope said.

Lizzie finally stepped into the room and closed the door "we have known each other for a decade and

I just realized that I have never seen your room before" Lizzie said while she went to sit down on the bed.

"well, you're actually the first one to see it". Lizzie could not believe her ears; she was the first one to see the shorter girl's room that meant that even Josie had not seen it after years of friendship but after one night she got to. The idea alone made her feel special.

"Do you have something I can wear because I don't think jeans will sleep so well" Lizzie said not really wanting to sleep in the clothes she was wearing now " of course just wait a sec" while Hope was looking for clothes Lizzie decided to take a look around the room. The room was filled with pictures and paintings from the Mikaelson family. Lizzie had seen a few of the people in the pictures before but the one that really caught her eye was the picture of a baby Hope in the arms of Hayley and a proud looking Klaus.

Hope in the mean while decided to take an oversized hoodie from New Orleans and some shorts for the blonde to sleep in tonight and took an old school shirt with shorts for herself. She gave Lizzie the clothes "I'm going to change in the bathroom you can change here if you want?"

The blonde just nodded her head and Hope went to the bathroom Lizzie had just taken her shirt off when Hope came back. The shorter girl just stood there kind of in shock not moving Lizzie who finally was done changing finally turned around and saw Hope standing there.

"Ow hey Hope do you maybe have a spare toothbrush?" Lizzie asked seeing the other girl in shock was kind of funny but oh well. Clearing her throat Hope decided to answer, "yeah sure it's in the cabinet left from the sink."

Lizzie went into the bathroom and the blue-eyed girl was left alone to her thoughts. She did not notice Lizzie coming back from the bathroom until she felt the bed dip. "Penny for your thoughts?" the blonde asked. "I would tell you, but I don't really know what they are about myself" the auburn girl replied.

"That's okay how about we go to sleep it's pretty late and even thought we don't have classes tomorrow we still have to be up pretty early for breakfast".

Hope didn't say anything, but she just lied down so the other girl followed they both didn't say a word the shorter was lying with her back towards Lizzie and in a few brave seconds she decided to wrap her arms around and just when she wanted to pull away since the shorter girl didn't say or do anything, she felt two hands over hers. Feeling tired Lizzie and Hope closed their eyes and fell asleep with Lizzie spooning Hope.
