Hope's POV
I stood in my Uncles old room, that he shared with my mom in the compound. I seen Mom holding me, as a baby. Uncle Elijah stops right by her bedside. They both had tears down their cheeks.She said, " Take her. It's time."
Elijah said, " No, I can't do this, not without you."
She kissed my forehead, and handed me to Uncle Elijah. She said, " It has to be done. There's no other way. Davina has looked through every spell. I'm tired, Elijah."
Elijah said, " We can try the spell."
She said, " No. We aren't trying it. It will only work for a few years. We've contacted every witch we knew, and nothing. We've tried every spell, and nothing."
Right then, Caroline and Dad walked into the room. Elijah gave Me to Caroline. Dad said, " We are going to miss you, little wolf."
Mom said, " Caroline, I want you to be the very best mother to her. I know you've always wanted children, but couldn't because you turned. But now you have the chance."
Caroline said, " I won't be the best mother, but I'll try my best. I will make sure she doesn't forget her actual mother."
Mom said, " Take her out of the room, I can't have her see or hear any of this."
Caroline carried me out of the room. Then it went black, and I stood behind the door. I pounded and screamed, nothing. No one could hear me.
Then I heard, " Hope, wake up. Wake up."
I opened my eyes, and Ryan had a robe on, and I seen glass in his neck. I said, " Ryan. I'm so sorry."
He said, " It's fine. I'm glad you are okay."
I sat up, and seen the glass coffee table broke, and glass everywhere. I said, " You have glass in your neck."
I put my hand on the glass shard, and pulled it out. It started bleeding.
I bit my wrist, and he said, " It's only a little cut. I'm fine."
I nodded, and sighed. I said, " Did I do this?"
He said, " Yeah. It seemed like you were having a nightmare. Then when I tried to wake you, a burst of magic flung me back and I broke the coffee table."
I said, " I'm so sorry."
The door to my room flung open, and my uncles, Moms, Dad, and Aunts walked into the room. I quickly covered myself with the sheet, and said, " What are yous doing here?"
Dad said, " Did that bloody bastard do something? Kol, get your bat."
Kol smirked and said, " Already ahead of you, brother."
He had a bat in his hand, and said, " Where to with the body?"
I said, " You aren't doing anything. Get out!"
Mom (Caroline) said, " Hope."
I said, " Please, get out. We will be down."
They sped out of the room, and I sighed. Ryan said, " Seems your father doesn't like me."
I said, " He does. He thought you did something when you had passed out first, the night after you came back to me. But, he ended up admitting that you aren't that bad of a guy."
He smiled, and I kissed his lips. He said, " Whats that for?"
I said, " Nothing. I love you."
He said, " I love you."
He pecked my cheek, and said, " I'm sure I could think of a way to forgive you for flinging me into a coffee table."
I said, " Whats that?"
He then started tickling my stomach, and I couldn't help but laugh. I fell on my back on the bed, and he moved and sat between my legs.
In between breaths, I said, " Stop.... Please... I'm.... Sorry.."
He soon stopped, and I caught my breath. He said, " For being a Tribrid, you sure can't catch your breath."
I said, " You were tickling me, doesn't count."
He laughed, and I smirked, and flipped us. I straddled him, and he said, " What are you doing?"
I said, " I'm sure mud men are ticklish."
He said, " I'm not."
I tried to look for his ticklish spot, and soon found it. It's his left side and he kept laughing.
After a few minutes, I stopped, and then leaned down and kissed his lips. I kissed down his neck, and played with the ties of the robe.
He grabbed my hands, and said, " Hope. Everyone is going to hear."
I stopped kissing him and said, " Fine. We need to just get away for a week, maybe a month or two. Just us."
He said, " Sounds perfect."
He pecked my cheek, and I sped to the closet. I put on my jeans, my black boots, and one of Ryan's sweatshirts.
I walked into the room, and Ryan is dressed. My mom had brought some clothes here for Ryan, in case we stay here somedays.
My phone buzzed, and I said, " Who is it?"
I grabbed my bracelet off the vanity, and put it on my wrist. Ryan said, " I didn't know you were still talking to Landon."
He came over, and held my phone in his hand. He showed me the message, which read.
L- Can we meet for lunch at the grill?
I said, " I let him go, and let him think over the things he's done. My mom convinced me to do the right thing."
He said, " Caroline, always did know the right thing to do."
I said, " Yeah, she does. Let's go downstairs."
He said, " What are you going to do about Landon?"
I said, " I don't know, yet. I might go to the grill for lunch, and hear him out."
He said, " Do you need me to go with?"
I said, " No. You being there will only make things worse."
He said, " Okay."
I said, " So, you're trusting me? To go see my ex?"
He said, " Of course."
I nodded, and we went downstairs to the kitchen. I texted Landon.
H- Sure. Meet me at the grill in an hour.
L- See you then.
I put my phone in my pocket, and grabbed a blood bag out of the fridge, and Ryan got a cup of coffee.
Mom (Hayley) walked into the kitchen, and said, " Hope. Can I speak with you?"
I said, " Yeah."
I followed her to the living room, and seen Dad, and Mom sitting on the couch together. Mom (Hayley) sat down on the chair, and said, " We have something to discuss."
Dad said, " What was your dream about last night?"
I said, " Will you stop eavesdropping?! Ugh! What else did you hear?"
Mom said, " Nothing."
I nodded, and Caroline said, " Now, what was it about?"
I said, " It's of Mom holding me when I was a baby, and then handing me off to Elijah, then Dad, and you came in. Mom didn't want me in the room, so you took me out of the room."
They all three looked at each other, and I said, " Why? What's going on?"
