Unspoken Eyes (Her Eyes; The Mirror To Her Heart & Soul)

Chapter One

It was late. Okay, it was only five minutes past 8:30 pm but Hope has been restless all day and needed to wolf out. The workout with Dr. Saltzman, this morning, didn't even help get the edge off. So, here she is out in the woods, folding her clothes as she takes a deep breath starting to feel her body change into a wolf. It's been a little over two years since she triggered her werewolf curse. Two years since her father told her to let the pain in and swallow her whole then it cannot break her. Two years since her last Mikaelson family dinner as a family with her father and uncle Elijah. Two years since she last saw her parents and her uncle alive and breathing.

Hope began running the minute she felt herself on four legs besides two. Within the two years, Hope has gotten better at shifting that it only takes her seconds to change into and out to. It felt great to feel the dirt on her feet, the fall brisk air in her lungs, to hear nature and other animals from miles, and to just let go. She ran and ran and ran. Hope wasn't sure how long she's been running but if she had to guess based on the position of the moon she'd say midnight or even past midnight. Hope stopped moving when she heard a noise in the distance. Hope slowly went closer to the noises. As she got closer she heard grunting, yelling in pain, and she smelt blood. Hope hid in the shadows and saw a girl fighting off six men who looked to be twice her size. With Hope's wolf eyes she can make out the girl to be almost as tall as the Saltzman twins, she looks tone from what Hope can tell, and she is wearing a pair of jeans with a long sleeve shirt.

The girl put her hand out and magically pushed all six guys away from her. The girl was injured pretty severely. She has a cut on her left arm, one on her right thigh, a knife in her right shoulder, and a gash on the right side of her head by her temple. The gash on her right temple hasn't stopped bleeding, making the girl's vision limited as blood kept getting in her right eye. The girl has a dagger in her right hand and she raises her hand to protect herself as the six men charged her as she did the same. She slices one of the six men's throats as he falls to the ground holding his neck as he bled out. One of the men wrapped his arm around her neck putting her in a chokehold. She pushed herself up to kick two men charging towards her, each holding a knife in their hand. She flipped the dagger in her to stab the man, who had her in a chokehold, in the leg. The man screamed in agony as he held onto his leg with the dagger impaled in his right thigh. The girl turns around and punches him in the face.

In the corner of her eye, she saw a fireball coming at her. She rolled away from the fireball as it hit a tree instead. She rolled over and turned around only to get a sidekick in the stomach making her fall to the ground holding her stomach and coughing up blood. She moved her head just in time as one of the men that she kicked earlier brought down a knife to stab her but hit the dirt instead. She put her legs around the guy's head putting him into a triangle choke. Using whatever remaining strength she had left, she arched her back and heard a crack along with the guy's scream that came afterward. She rolled away and tried to stand up only to be pushed away by another guy using magic to push her into a tree. She coughed up some blood from the impact of her back hitting the tree. Her head was spinning from the impact.

Hope, who was still watching the whole fight happen, saw the girl slowly stand up and notice something else about her. Her eyes were glowing a bright red color as she looked up at the men. One was dead on the ground with one of its hands covering his sliced throat, one with the dagger in its right thigh stood up leaning against his left leg, and the one with the broken left arm stood up cradling his broken arm with his right arm. Even though she killed one and badly injured two; the girl was still at a disadvantage. Her wounds were slowly healing thanks to her super healing abilities but she was losing too much blood thanks to the gash on her right temple. If she had to guess the gash must be deep and it must have hit one of the major arteries. She shakily stood up but then felt herself being thrown against the tree behind her. Three of the men had their hands out pushing the girl against the tree. The three men pulled their arms back as the girl was pulled away from the tree then in a second she pushed into the tree again. Except with so much force that she went through not one but two trees getting some splinters as she went through the trees.
