Betrayed Hearts

Landon's Betrayal

A/N: So unrelated to the story, but isn't her smile so fucking pretty?

Hope POV:

I keep thinking about Landon. How he tricked me into loving him, then tried to kill me. I hid who I was from him for so long, just to find out he knew all along and was only with me to help his father take over the world. I know I shouldn't give him another thought, but everything I see reminds me of him. This state reminds me of everyone I've lost. My entire family died, Roman- the first boy I ever liked betrayed me and died, the boy I loved betrayed me and died. Is it really that hard to love me?

I need to clear my head. I leave the compound and walk through the crowded streets of New Orleans. Only to see the very place I was betrayed, Rouseau's. A bar I used to love, where I was taught to cook while my father was away, the only place that felt alive to me, at least until Landon.

Flashback:

"Landon, where are we going? I told you already I didn't want to celebrate my birthday." Landon is laughing and dragging me through New Orleans, to some great surprise he planned. 

"Hope, it won't be a surprise if you know. Come on, we are almost there." He blindfolded me the second we left the picnic. 

"Landon, my aunts and uncle and brother (Marcel) are going to want me home soon."

"Hope, you're turning 17. It's fine, it won't take long. Okay we're here. Take off your blindfold." As I start to take it off, I hear something lock, I don't think much of it though. There's a smell of beer and whiskey, it must be Rouseau's. I smile and take it off completely. Only to be facing Landon at the door. 

"It can't be much of a reveal when you face me towards you and the door." I laugh a bit, but there's something off with the way Landon is looking at me, almost menacingly. I turn around, and stare in shock. My aunt and uncle are desiccated, and Freya, Davina, Vincent, Marcel, they are just dead. I spin back around, "Landon, what the fuck?"  As soon as the words leave my mouth, I feel something stab me. I look down to see a knife in my stomach. I fall to the floor and look up to Landon with tears in my eyes. 

"What? Do you not like your surprise?" He smiles and crouches down to my side. "But I really tried to make it special, Hope. I even have your Aunt Davina here. I made it special. A family reunion." He walks over to them, standing in front of Kol. He pulls something out of his pocket. White oak. 

"NO" I yell, I try to move, do something, but I can't. He stabs Kol and I watch as his body turns to ash. I scream and yell. It does nothing. He pulls out another one and makes his way to Rebekah. He lifts his arms, this time I force myself up, I weakly run to her. But I'm too late and she starts to turn to ash, just like Kol. I reach out to hold her, one last time, but it's too late and her body is gone. I fall back to the floor, too weak to move. Soon, everything went black.

I woke up in the bayou, I look around to see I'm alone. I start walking, trying to figure out what's happening, when I hear a familiar voice. Mom. I turn around and there she is. We run to each other and hug. She then pulls away, telling me it's too early, that I need to go back. Then I hear dad. Then Freya, Marcel, Rebekah, Kol, they're all here. Everyone is here. I run up to them all. They tell me the same thing Mom did, that I need to go back. I pull away and turn back to Mom.

"I can't. I want to stay with you. Mom, you're here, everyone is here. If I go back, I'll be alone. I'd be a vampire. I can't mom. Please."

"Love, you could never be alone. We will always be with you, even if you may not see us, we'll see you. Watch over you, except when you do more adult things, hopefully with someone you love very much." Rebekah says, a few of us laugh, while others look protectively at me. 

"Other than those times, we will be with you, hug you. Even if you can't feel it. But it's not your time, little one. It won't be your time for many, many years." Freya says. I hug them all, except my parents. I need a few more minutes with them.

"My littlest wolf, I know you've hid behind your mother's last name your entire life. But soon, you'll be the most powerful being in the world. So, let everyone know you're a Mikaelson. Be proud of us, because we can no longer be with you." Dad says, I see tears running down his, and mom's faces. I feel some fall down mine as well. I pull them both into a hug. I close my eyes, and when I wake up. I'm back in Rouseau's.

But I'm alone. Landon must've gotten bored waiting. I walk out into the streets. I see a guy giving a girl a hard time, she's saying no, but he won't stop. I wait till he drags her into an alley and then I follow. I grab him and push him off the girl. I tell her to run and turn back to the guy. 

"Oh, so you want some too. That's fine, but you didn't need to tell her to leave. There's enough of me to go around." I scoff and grab a piece of broken glass. I cut his arm and start to drink. He's screaming, trying to run, but I have a good hold on his arm. Soon, I feel fangs poke through my gums. I pull away, then sink into his neck. Soon, he stops breathing. I feel the last drop of his blood and drop his body.

"Sorry, sweetheart. But not really." I say, scaring myself with how cold I sounded. Then, I felt pain throughout my body. I fall to the ground and feel another set of fangs, my eyes feel weird, I can see in the dark like I would in the day. Then I remember I killed someone. I triggered my wolf side. I can still feel my magic, I'm truly the Tribrid now. 

End of flashback

After my revelation, I hunted down Landon Kirby, I stabbed him with an arrow I coated with my blood and watched as the life drained from his eyes. His last words to me were that Malivore would come for me, kill me. So, I hunted him down too, I stabbed him with a knife made from my blood and laughed when it turned into an ordinary puddle of mud. 

I walk to where I killed Malivore, to see that the mud was now gone. With no evidence that it was ever there. I do this whenever I leave the compound, because every time I leave, I'm reminded of the revenge I felt, and still feel. 

I go to the alley where I killed someone for the first time, to see another man forcing himself onto a woman, and that woman saying the same words the first one did. So, I vamp behind the man. I pull him away, tell the girl to run away, drain him of blood. Just like I did the first time, the second, the third, and now the fourth. 

I've been the fully activated Tribrid for 8 months now, and I'm completely over these reminders. It's time for me to leave. But I will return, to make sure no one dares to go into the compound. It's my home, the place I grew up, the only place my family and I could be 100% ourselves. 

A/N: I know I have 2 unfinished stories, but I had another idea and couldn't resist. Hope you enjoyed loves!
