RECAP:

About 20 miles north, the car broke down. They all got out to see what was wrong when a sudden bright light appeared then, and they all fell to the ground screaming.

HOPE POV:

Ahhh!! BUMP! I fall on top of something smooth and bumpy. God. my head hurts. I opened my eyes to see eyes that matched mine and, that I was lying on a bed. I looked back up, my breath stuck to see him, Dad? My dead dad is alive?

I was so shocked to see him that I failed to notice the company he had, a very familiar man that I couldn't quite place where I knew him from. I sat up to see my dad amused for some odd reason. "Sorry love, my friend here left you and forgot. Trust me, he isn't usually like this." my dad told me.

It took me a couple of seconds to comprehend what he said but as soon as I realized what he was thinking, I jumped to see the familiar man looking at me confused, and I felt disgusted to even think about what my dad just suggested.

"Eww, first of all, I would never even think about hooking up with you." I pointed to the unknown man with a disgusted face, "And, second, where am I?"

I asked turning toward my father and then looking towards his friend while looking between them for an answer. Dad chuckled at my words with amusement by answering "You love, are in Chicago." the familiar man looked shocked hearing, I didn't know where I was.

Hearing my father answer made me confused. I was on my way to New Orleans and, now I'm in front of my dead father which means I'm in the past, not knowing when.

My dad is alive and with some guy who looks very familiar, I can't place where I've seen him but I presume him to be Stefan Salvatore and according to his burnt-up journals that I secretly read when I was a kid, he and my dad were in Chicago in 2010 to wake up my aunty bex because an old powerful witch named Gloria who owns a bar needed auntie's necklace to track down their my grandmother Esther. I haven't cast any spells so far hopefully she can't sense me from afar unless with a spell.

"Spell what spell?" Asked Stefan which got my attention out of my thinking. I guess I said that part out loud.

"oh, I...uh.....I cast a spell... but for some odd reason, it brought me here to Chicago of all places." I responded while looking Stefan in the eyes.

"I don't know why but can't be too picky. Spells are annoyingly tricky and annoying right." I responded with a little laugh looking at my dad. As I am chuckling with nervousness.

"Now that you've answered my buddy here's a question you mind answering who are you, little witch?" Dad says.

"Little witch." I chuckled with a little laugh recalling the nickname my dad gave my mom "little wolf" and mine being the "one of his littlest wolves."

"Oh....uh...um....my name is Hope Marshall. Pleasure. I'm sure." My dad starts laughing You sound like my sister.

I continue with a laugh "My name is Hope Marshall. I'm a witch. I have no idea why I am in Chicago like I said can't be too picky when you get a spell wrong. I don't know why it brought me to your place Mr.?" I asked looking at Stefan.

"Stefan. My name is Stefan Salvatore and he is Klaus." He said pointing to my dad. I stand up off the bed, glad that I'm right about that guy being Stefan Salvatore l, I look around the apartment with put my hand on my chest as I look with concern I look at Stefan and ask "Are you in need of money?"

My dad lets out a laugh but Stefan looks offended. "This place seems like a haunted old home with no cleaning". I say as I look around the apartment. "Seriously are those spider webs?...."

My dad lets out another laugh......louder than the one before.

"...and no please tell me this isn't what I was on looking at the sheets in disgust...seriously dude, do you seriously not change your sheets? Please tell me for the sake of people everywhere, I say dramatically to Stefan you don't actually bring people to get laid in this dump."

My dad is laughing hard while Stefan tries to explain it's been a while but I'm not listening, I thought the Salvatore brothers had money but this place smells and is a freaking dump.

"OK now, if you don't mind "Can you get out of my apartment," Stefan said annoyed and a little angry.

"Okay ok," I say while raising my hands in a surrender position. "don't get your panties in a twist. I'm leaving you two whatever you were doing before you saw me." I replied annoyed and left the apartment looking Stefan up and down dramatically with my hair flipped to him and waving a bye to Dad. Then screaming "Adios."

As I am walking down the hall, I can hear my dad laughing "She's hilarious." He continued talking where as I was more focused on another heartbeat. A third person was in that room, behind me, and from their scent, I recognized her from when I first met her as a child at the Salvatore boarding school, Mrs. Elena Salvatore. But of course, that is her married name, her birth name is Elena Gilbert. Elena being here means Damon Salvatore isn't far behind either and, how the bloody hell am I here in the past? and, where are the others?
