Hope or Despair

Chapter Five.

- "You really think we're that gullible?" Said Hope with a threatening look in her eye.

- "Oh come on now is that any way to treat your great aunt?" Said Danielle in a sneering voice.

Hope had a shocking look on her face. This couldn't be happening most of her family is dead how can it be that more family members just keep appearing.

-"I see that shocked look on your face so I'm going to make this long story short. I found out my mom had an affair with a man outside the coven she was banished, a couple of weeks later they were slaughtered leaving me to fend for myself. That bastard child my mother had turned out to be the mother of your father Klaus Mikaelson, like mother like daughter am I right (she lets out a soft chuckle)"

Hope couldn't bear to hear any more "I'm going out for some fresh air I'll be right back"

HOPE'S POV
I couldn't bear to hear any more of that bullshit I need air. Where can I go? Maybe I'll just walk around the block.

How could this be is my life just a jack in a box filled with surprises when I least expect it? I need to talk to someone *Hope grabs her phone out of her right pocket and dials a number she never thought would use*

-"Hey Lizzie how's it going"

-"HOW COULD YOU NOT TELL ME YOU'RE LITTLE AVENTURE WAS RUNNING OF TO NORWAY WITH JOSIE? AND HOW DARE YOU JUST WRITE A NOTE THAT SAYS OFF TO NORWAY SEE YOU IN A WEEK?" Wow was Lizzie mad, how am I going to get out of this one.

-"O my god Lizzie calm down, we are coming back on Friday, you're the one that told me to be there for her"

-"I meant to give her a hug or something not travel to another continent, you should be glad I didn't tell my dad, otherwise you would be toast"

-"We don't have time for your ranting I called because I need to talk to you"

-"Oh now you want to talk"

-"Ugh just fucking listen Lizzie"

I then proceeded to tell her everything that happened excluding the almost rape, make-out session on the pool table, and Josie's conversation with Penelope.

-"Wow"

-"Yes Wow"

-"You have to know more Hope, worst case scenario she's just lying maybe something good will come out of it"

I couldn't help myself from thinking Lizzie was right. So we said goodbye and I headed back in.

JOSIE'S POV

What is wrong with Hope. She can't just storm off like that I don't even know why she is so mad.

This lady could be the solution to all of my problems, all I need is Hope's cooperation, which seems impossible right now.

Alexander seems a bit lost in all this no wonder he went to get a drink. While I'm alone with Danielle I should get some info out of her.

-"So Danielle exactly how do you plan to help me?"

-"You seem like a curious little girl, well it is pretty simple the merger is a curse inflicted on twins as a fight for power. So the best way is to find a power source and transfer it to you and your sister making you equal, of course, you will still have to merge but neither of you will die in the process."

-"That seems too good to be true"

-"Well a spell-like that requires a lot of power, meaning we would have to kill a hundred people"

WHAT DID SHE SAY?! I can't save myself at the cost of other human lives. It isn't right.

-"Yeah well it's that or finding a unique power source that unites the three factions werewolf, vampire, and witch"

Josie knew where she was going with this.

-"My niece Hope is all three isn't she, as the most powerful being on the planet she would be way better than 100 witches mixed with vampire and werewolf."

No, I can't do this it is too much.

-"We would have to kill her though"

-"Why would you say something like that, after all, she is your niece"

-"I have a couple of plans of my own and I can't have her walking around. So that's my proposal kill Hope in a ritual that will transfer her powers to you and your sister, to avoid the merger or die in 5 years, you choose"

I suddenly hear someone coming, it was Hope.
