Hope's P.O.V

Roman and I sat Sage down and explained everything to him. That his grandfather wanted his blood and my blood for hybrids. We told him about Ayana and how she was his soulmate.
When we found out that Bonnie and Enzo were pregnant, we knew we had to keep both Sage and the knew baby out of Klaus' clutches. Bonnie helped me conjure a spell so that they were tied to one another. In friendship and in romance.

"How come I never heard of her?" Sage asked.

"We wanted to tell you, but your grandfather had spies all over the place. We were afraid you and Ayana were gonna get taken away. So we kept her a secret."

Sage's mouth hung open as he was trying to process everything.

"So, is this like an arranged marriage?" He asked.

"No." Roman said. "Because she isn't sired to you, or vis versa, you both are free to live your life how you want to."

Wait, sired?" Sage asked.

Roman sighed. "It's when one vampire is obsessed with another vampire."

"Usually when they drink the blood of another vampire." I said.

"Wow, okay." Sage said.

We then heard a knock at the door as I went to go answer it.

Seeing Bonnie, Enzo, and Ayana standing there surprised me.

"Bonnie! What are you doing here?" I asked.

"Ayana wanted to meet Sage." She said. "We told her."

"We told him too." I said as I let them in.

"Roman! Sage! We have company." I said, seeing them walking into the living room.

"Sage, this is our daughter Ayana." Bonnie introduced. "Ayana, this is Sage."

"Nice to meet you." Sage said.

Ayana smiled. "So, you're my soulmate."

Sage chuckled. "I guess I am."

"We will let you two get to know each other." Enzo said as we walked into the kitchen, leaving the two teenagers in the living room.

Sage's P.O.V

I sat down in the recliner as Ayana sat on the couch next to me. She was very beautiful. Long, brown hair pulled into a ponytail. Caramel complexion and light blue eyes.

"So, what do you like to do for fun?" I asked, trying to make small talk.

"Other than meeting a random boy who is my soulmate?" She quipped. "I like to dance. I'm on the dance team at my high school."

"Mystic Falls High?" I asked.

She snorted. "No. The Salvatore Boarding School."

"Oh, where the twins teach. That's cool." I said.

Mrs. and Ms. Saltzman? Yeah, they are pretty cool." She said. "Why don't you go there?"

"My parents wanted me to have a normal high school experience."

"Lame." She said, rolling her eyes. "We are not normal."

"Try telling that to my parents."

"I'm sure my parents can convince them."

Hope's P.O.V

Looking at both of our kids having a good time, made me smile. They were getting along great.

"Have you guys thought about enrolling Sage into the Salvatore Boarding School?" Bonnie asked, taking a sip of her tea.

"We've thought about it." Roman said.

"I went there when I was in my teens and it was just really chaotic for me. I wanted Sage to have a normal life." I said.

"Sage is not normal, though." Enzo said. "He's supernatural."

"I kinda wish I had a school like that when I found out I was a witch." Bonnie said.

Roman and I looked at each other.

"We will think about it." I said.

"Ayana, we are getting ready to leave." Bonnie said as we heard silence in the other room.

We all furrowed our eyebrows as we got up and rushed into the living room, shocked at what we saw.

There, in the middle of the living room was Ayana and Sage drinking the blood from each other's wrists.

"Ayana!" Enzo gasped.

"Sage!" Roman exclaimed.

Both of them looked up in shock with blood covered lips.

"Dad!" Ayana said.

"I can't believe this." Enzo said, panting. "We brought you over to meet each other, not to be sired to each other!"

"We thought you guys would at least take the time to get to know each other before y'all committed." Roman said in exasperation.

"Boys, calm down." Bonnie said. "They are in love."

"They are eighteen!" Roman and Enzo both yelled.

"Ah Sha Lana." I said as both Enzo and Roman fell to the ground on their knees, gripping their heads and groaning.

"We are not gonna fight about this anymore!" I said in a stern tone. "Sage and Ayana are sired to one another. We all will have to deal with it."

Enzo and Roman fell to the ground, gasping.

"Sage, say goodbye to Ayana." I said.

They hugged for what seemed like forever as they soon broke apart, and all of them left.

"Mom, Dad. I'm sorry." Sage said. "You guys said we are soulmates."

"I know, honey." I said. "Go up to your room."

Sage walked up the stairs to his room as I turned around to see Roman locking the door.

"Roman, you need to accept this." I said.

"They are just kids!" Roman said, angrily. "I mean, who's idea was it? It was probably Ayana."

"What does that matter?!" I exclaimed. "They are in love, they are soulmates. Why are you so turned off by this?"

"Because your father is still after you." He said. "I thought he was dead but turns out he was in hiding."

My heart dropped as my face fell with fear in my eyes.

"What?"

Sage's P.O.V

Later that evening, I couldn't stop thinking about Ayana as I got up and put my shoes on while slipping out of my bedroom window.

I vamp sped to the Boarding School and standing on the other side of the gate was Enzo.

"I can't let you in, Sage."

"You can't keep me from her!" I yelled. "I love her!"

"You love her?! You don't even know what love is!" He said. "You are just a teenage boy with teenage hormones."

"I'm supernatural, you dick!" I spat as I conjured fire in my hand.

"Sage, don't." I suddenly heard the familiar voice.

My vision soon set on Ayana, who was looking out of her bedroom window.

"I love you, but I don't want this bad blood between our families." I heard her say.

Tears sprung in my eyes as the fire went out.

"If you want to take your anger out on someone, talk to your grandfather." Enzo said.

I gasped, soon feeling everything go black and the last thing I heard was the faint screaming from Ayana.
