"Hope where are we" Josie hops off of the bus "OOOOooo is this your pack" Josie hops around

"Chill out flower child" Hope giggles flicking her shoulder

"Ok Moon child" She grins running ahead 

Hope runs after her

Josie runs to the dock swinging on the beams of the cabin

Hope freezes

"Whats wrong hopey" She walks towards her 

"Meet my mother" She points to a tree 

"Now don't take offense to this but what the actual fuck hope" Josie walks over to the tree reading the inscription and turning back to hope

"Ok ok sorry, I see how that was really weird,but it is really amazing here at sundown so I packed us dinner"

"You worried me hope if you want to talk about it I'm here, you know" Josie spreads the blanket out on the ground

"That is not a can of beans I want to open tonight" Hope somberly chuckles

"Well we have to talk about it sometime"

"Can right now not be sometime" She says spreading the food out on the blanket

"Ok" Josie kisses hopes cheek knowing its a sensitive topic and it was hard for her to even think about

They both gobble down there dinners and then lay on the blanket watching the sky

"Do you know my favorite part of the day is about an hour before sundown because the sun illuminates the woods and the sky is an orange hue" Hope grins

Josie wraps her arms around hope's

The watch the sunset turn to dusk in silence to focused on it's beauty

"My mom she was brave and fierce but at the same time kind, whenever there was a family squable she was always the rational one........I really wish you got to know her" Hope tears up

"Me too" Josie embraces Hope trying to comfort her

After a moment Hope gets up "Freya is going to be so mad we ran off" Josie and Hope start picking up the plastic storage containers and garbage

"Do you see that" Hope points at a blue glow

"See what" Josie worries

"Nothing, I was just messing with you" Hope lies staring at the blue light not funny

The blue glow is consuming 

"Josie I'm need to use the restroom, Is it ok if I leave you for a moment" She stares at the blue light

"Yeah Hope just yell if you need me " She shrugs cleaning up

"You too" Hope stumbles following the glow deeper and deeper into the woods

"Have you thought over my offer" Esther takes shape from the glow

"Yes, and I have respectfully decided to........... TELL YOU TO ROT IN HELL" Hope yells 

"Hope this is a fair deal, your spawn is destined to die I'm just killing it before you get attached"she pleads

"I WILL KEEP THEM SAFE FROM MONSTERS LIKE YOU" hope yells taking a swing at her

"There is no point fighting me, If you do not let me take it then I will just keep coming back"

"STOP" hope yells wrapping her hands around esther's neck then decapitating her

The glow disappears as suddenly as it appeared

Blood drenches hope

She looks down to see a decapitated jogger 

Hope panics she has no clue what to do, whether to hide the body or to call her family

"JOSIE" Hope yelps crying terrified of herself

Josie comes running her flashlight illuminating the ground

Hope shakes and crys "It-it was an accident"

"I know" She holds hope letting her crying her arms

Josie lifts hope's face up after a minute "I'm going to have to call your family, they will be able to help us and we can pin this all on kol anyways"

Hope nods burrying her head back into Josies chest  

Josie sits hope on large rock while she goes to call the others

Hope crawls over to the body grabbing her phone

The lockscreen showing a family one with two boys and and a daughter and a husband

Hope slams the phone on the ground going through her wallet, trying to find anything that would make her feel better about what she just did

Nothing did.

She retreated back to the rock, quietly crying and rocking thinking about what she took from those people in the photo 

Soon a car pulls up and Kol,Rebekah,Freya,Marcel, and Keelin run out (Davina is with nik)

They all circle the body trying to contemplate what to next

"We are going to call this body into the police, hope did you touch anything" Freya asks now just looking back at hope

Her eyes glassy and bloodshot, her fingers tearing into her legging, her lip quivering, and her breathing unsteady, blood sticking to her hair

"Hope" Freya cautiously asks recieving no responce from her niece

Hope's shakes become more visable

Keelin walks up to hope carefully "Hope, can you tell me if you touched anything"

She doesn't respond

"She could be in shock" Keelin looks back at the rest

"Marcel, Rebekah could you please move hope to the car" Keelin instructs

Keelin gets off the ground stepping on the phone breaking in even more

"I don't think she touched anything" josie panics

"Caroline and Alaric are going to be pissed if they knew we let you near a crime scene, please join hope in the car" kol lifts up the phone and wallet and burries them in a small ditch

Freya and Keelin walk to the nearest payphone while kol watches the body

Josie,Rebekah,and Marcel try to calm hope down

She couldn't Rebekah eventually end up climbing into the back seats of the car trying to comfort hope

She clings to Rebekah, crying again in her arms as she holds her close trying to assure her everything will be okay

Freya,Keelin,and Kol find there seats in the car and then driving off

When they reach the house Rebekah carries hope bridal style up to her room

Davina watches her face contorting in horror at a blood soaked and terrified Hope Mikaelson
