All Is Forgiven

The next morning, Jace and I were summoned to Alaric's office. We walk in and Hope was asleep on the couch. 

"What happened to Hope?" I asked as I made my way over to her. 

"She's fine..." Alaric said then. Hope woke up and sat up on the couch. I took a set next to her and Jace stood next to me. 

"Good morning, before you kick my ass, I have an idea" Alaric said caustically to Hope. 

"Why would you kick his ass?" I asked Hope confused. 

Alaric showed the therapy box. 

"Ok" Hope said then looked at Alaric "Can I kick your ass now?" 

"Not until you hear me out. This is the therapy box that creates scenarios" Alaric said.

"Are you forgetting we know what that thing is?" I asked but again I was ignored. 

"I don't" Jace said to me. 

"Last time I used it made me realize, mine and Landon's relationship is doomed" Hope said.

"Means it's not wrong" Alaric said.

"We're un-dooming things, remember?" Hope said.

"I called professor Vardemus. He said there's a single user setting" Alaric said but he wasn't helping much.

"Great. So, I'll be lonely and annoyed" Hope said.

"The group setting created a simulation designed to resolve what everyone's subconscious was dealing with, but if it's just you in there, it should create one to deal with your specific problem" Alaric explained. 

"How to get Landon back. You're getting my subconscious and awful lot of credit" Hope told him.

"Or maybe I'm desperate. Whatever it takes, right?" Alaric asked her. 

Hope leaned over and opened the box "Ready player one" she said, and a flash of light was surrounding her, and she fell asleep. I caught her and rested her head on the pillow. 

"So why are we here?" Jace asked confused.

"I thought it would be harder to convince her to open the box, but guess not

"I need you here in case she goes crazy... It's good to see you again, Jace" Alaric said.

"Thank you, Dr. Saltzman" Jace said.

"I can't get one day off" I muttered to Jace leaning on him.

"Not even to be alone, even last night was amazing" Jace said.

I smile but then I thought of someone. I stood up facing him "Your sister thinks you're dead... We- I can take you to see her" I said.

"We need to talk first" Jace said and sat down next to me. 

"Where did you go when I thought I killed you?" I asked him.

"I was with my parents, but then this woman appeared and took me to this prison world. I didn't know how to get out and back to the real world, but then I saw Hope and Landon, I felt good, because I knew they could get me home to you" Jace explained to me. 

"Who was the woman?" I asked him.

"My mom said her name when she appeared: Esther Mikaelson... Your grandmother" Jace said.

"Esther Mikaelson brought you to the prison world. What if it was a trap?" Alaric stepped in. 

"My family found out that Esther and Mikael came back from the dead. You don't think they will come here, right?" I asked Alaric.
