Hosie: I'm Different

The Party

Hope was currently sorting her hair when there was a knock at her door. Standing up she walked over to answer it. "Miss Mikaelson, Your guest's will be arriving shortly would you like me to invite them in?" Hope smiled at her maid "Yes. Please send them all to the courtyard around the back, that is where everything is set up". The maid nodded as she did what Hope asked "Right away Miss Mikaelson". Hope closed her door sighing. She hated all the formalities that came with being rich and well known they made her feel old. Hope laughed at her thoughts after all, she was the daughter of a thousand year old Vampire hybrid and Nobleman/warrior. Hope sat back down and continued to do her hair. She wasn't really bothered about party's and socializing, But her aunt Freya had told her she needed to communicate, make friends and maybe even fall in love. Hope already had a friend However, she just didn't live here anymore. Which is why her aunt was doing this. Hope thought about the idea of Love and it made Hope roll her eyes, She had never fallen in Love, she had wanted to, but In Hope's mind Love was just glorified pain. 

Hope had Finally finished her hair and checked the time. It was 9 pm which meant the party would be quite full by now. Standing up Hope brushed down her red dress before heading out to greet people. Hope walked through the halls and could already hear the music and commotion outside. The party's that her family threw were always very formal and she hated it. They lived in the 21st century, they could at least act like it. Hope walked down the stairs and out to the courtyard where she spotted other family's that were also well know. There were the Gilberts, The Salvatore's, The Forbes, The Lockwood's. Of course there were other families that were a little less known but that wasn't a problem to Hope. 

Hope spent the first hour walking around and greeting people, before retreating to the drinks table and spending the rest of her night trying to avoid Everyone. Hope was currently sitting on a bench not too far from the Party, But not close enough that people would approach her either. Hope took a sip of her drink looking around when she noticed a Blonde and Brunette girl greeting One of the Salvatore brothers. For a moment Hope felt her heart stop as she took in the beauty of the brunette girl. She was wearing a black dress with black Heels, her hair was lightly curled and she had light make up on. Hope stared as she watched the girl interact with the Salvatore and before she knew it she had the urge to talk to her. Standing Up Hope made her way over before stopping not far from the Salvatore "Mr. Salvatore, I see you have made some acquaintances". Hope turned to the two girls and smiled offering out her hand "Hello, I'm Hope Mikaelson, It's a pleasure". Hope noticed that The girls seemed hesitant but they took her hand and shook it anyway Introducing themselves. Hope had found out that these girls were both Saltzman's who were the second most known family in Mystic falls. Hope wondered what had caused the hesitation in their introduction's but chose not to push it as she spoke "May I offer you both a drink?" Hope listened as the blonde girl declined and excused herself but the brunette just smiled apologetically before answering "My Apologies Miss Mikaelson, My sister is a little tense at party's. However I would love a drink". Hope smiled as she offered her arm out to the girl "Right This way". 

Hope stood conversing with the brunette for a while and was pleasantly surprised by the girl. She had lovely manors, was very polite and conversation seemed to flow easily with her. They also had a lot in common. Josie was currently talking about her dislike of formal party's when the blonde girl from earlier who's name had already slipped Hope's mind approached "Josie, Dad would like us back with him". Josie turned to Hope apologizing before excusing herself and disappearing into the crowd with her sister. Hope watched as she left and smiled thinking to herself, If Josie was going to be at her party's, she would throw them a lot more. 

Hope was still looking in the direction that Josie had walked off in when she heard a voice behind her "Hope, Are you enjoying the party?" Hope turned facing her aunt Freya and smiled "It's good, It's nice to see some familiar faces. Even If my father pissed most of them off". Hope laughed sadly at that thought. There almost wasn't one family here that her dad hadn't upset. He had killed Elena Gilberts aunt, tried to use her blood for some ritual. He had Tried Killing the Salvatore brothers multiple times. He had fallen In love with Caroline Forbes before drinking her blood and making her like him. It really was a surprise that they even turned up. Hope Listened as her aunt spoke "Your father made a lot of mistake's Hope. But deep down he was a good man". Hope just nodded and smiled "Yeah". 

Hope's aunt gave her a hug before she headed over to talk to her wife Keelin. Hope had always admired her aunts relationship, It was clear they were both very much in love. Part of Hope wished to experience what that was like but all Hope had experienced was a few one night stands with some boys she had met. Hope sighed as she grabbed another drink, Taking a sip she frowned as it didn't seem to be quenching her thirst. Hope knew that meant she was getting hungry so she put the glass down and headed into the party to find a snack. Hope came across a young girl about her age, She didn't even introduce herself as she compelled the young girl to follow her. Once Hope had got her out of the view of other People, she compelled her to stay silent. Hope then allowed the veins under her eyes to pulse and become more prominent,  the whites of her eyes go red and the gold to seep into her vision then, Without hesitation, she plunged her teeth into the girls neck and began feeding.
