A Different End

Till the very bitter end, I'm with her.

(This is all Lizzies point of view)

Standing in the middle of the woods away from the school, holding my last hidden red oak stake on my right hand and face to face with hope without her humanity was something I never expected to experience again

"Hope, please we don't have to do this." I pleaded, I never really wanted to experience this again

Hope in front of me covered in blood, starring at me with her emotionless eyes

"Lizzie, I know we don't, just let me pass and maybe I'll spare your life unlike last time." She said

"Hell no, if I have to die for the school then so be it." I told her

"Hm, cute. Would you really die for the school that couldn't even accept you for who you are?" She asked in mocking curiosity tone

I was silent for a while remembering the times I was called a leech, abomination, selfish, broken and more by the witches in the school

"Yeah I would, if dying by your hands again meant I saved the school from your cruelty then I'll accept death with open arms." I said with no hesitation

"That's the most pathetic thing I've heard the lizzie saltzman has ever said." She told me with a hint of a smirk on her face

"My mom, you know the woman you just killed an hour ago told me months ago that if I killed you that something would happen." I told her

"And what would that something be?" She asked in a curious tone

I don't even know if that tone was genuine curiosity or mocking but right now I simply don't care

"That everyone in your sire line would die aka me. So tell me hope would really want me to die again or not?" I asked her genuinely curious of her answer

"I really want you to die right now for protecting that pathetic school of yours." She answered me

"Then why the hell haven't you tried to kill me yet?" I asked with a slight smirk on my face

There was silence, all you could hear was the wind blowing and a few leaves rustling

I took that as an opportunity to vamp speed towards her and stab her but before I can stab with stake, she raised her hand fast enough to hold my wrist

I wince at the tightness of her hold

"You would really kill me for people who don't care about you?" She asked me with sadness and hurt in her tone

"You already killed the only person who cared about me." I told her with anger in my tone

I push the stake and successfully stab her

She gasped and put her hand on my shoulder and looked up to me

"Lizzie...." She said quietly with pain in her tone

I push the stake deeper into her chest and I see her skin turning gray then her turning into ash

I look down at the spot where her ashes were, a single tear drop falling from my eye and I feel a switch being flipped inside me

For the first time my head was..... quiet

And I felt nothing

The rage and sadness I had before was gone

And there was only one thought in head

I walk towards a tree trunk and sit down, grunting slightly

I did say I would accept death with open arms

I'm going to die without my humanity

And I killed hope mikaelson and I die right after her

Till the very bitter end, I'm with her.
