Falling From Grace- A Klaus Mikaelson Love Story

Chapter 90- Secret Project

Hope vamped to the living room to greet her guests. She grinned at Lizzie and Josie.

"Glad you two could make it," Hope said, "How was the trip here?"

"Uncomfortable, noisy, and smelly," Lizzie complained.

"We were sitting next to two babies and their neglectful mother," Josie explained.

"Oh, that explains a lot," Hope said, knitting her eyebrows together in concern.

"You said it was urgent and we're here, so what's going on," Josie asked.

"I need help doing a project that requires magic," Hope said.

"Aren't you a Tribrid," Lizzie asked.

"I am but this project requires more than me," Hope said.

"What about your uncle," Lizzie asked, talking about Kol, "Isn't he a witch?"

"Technically he's a vampire, not a witch," Hope explained, "Also he doesn't exactly know about my project, and I would like to keep it that way."

"Right. A secret project that requires more than one Tribrid. This should be good," Lizzie sassed, following Hope.

They stopped in front of the mirror that Klaus and the others put back together.

"So you want to put a protection spell on a mirror," Lizzie asked.

"Not exactly. I wanted to give the mirror its power back," Hope explained, "It was a gift Axel gave to my Uncle Elijah before he passed. Supposedly it was capable of bringing anyone back to life."

"So a resurrection spell. Hope, that's..."

"Dark magic, I know," Hope finished, glancing at Josie, "That's why I needed more than just myself to do this."

"Maybe we should wait on someone else. Or, I don't know, call our uncle," Josie suggested.

"We can't call Kai because he's best friends with Klaus," Hope said, "He'll more than likely spill our secret."

"Still resurrection spells are dangerous, Hope. It can cause some major issues," Lizzie reasoned.

"Only if we do it repeatedly," Hope reasoned, "We just need to do this once. Besides we're only giving the mirror its power back, not resurrecting anyone."

"Do you even have the spell," Josie asked.

"I stole it from my Uncle's journal," Hope said, reaching into her pocket.

"Just so you know, if we get caught, I don't know you," Lizzie said.

"Deal," Hope said.

"By the way, I meant to ask you," Lizzie said, "Are you and Jack dating?"

"What? Gross," Hope said, scrunching up her nose in disgust, "No!"

"Are you sure? Because you two spend a lot of time together. I mean, he's stupid hot so I understand," Lizzie explained.

"Lizzie, Jack is practically my uncle," Hope reasoned, "His older brother is dating my dad!"

"Okay... I thought angels don't exactly care about mingling within the family," Lizzie said.

"Liz," Josie snapped.

She shrugged innocently.

"Oh, c'mon! I can't be the only one who's thought about that," Lizzie said, watching them set up for the spell, "Imagine how cute and powerful your children would be! A Tribrid and Nephilim kid! Or even better, Tribrid, Nephilim, and Phoenix children! Amazing, right?"

"No," Hope and Josie said in unison.

"Are you going to continue making me uncomfortable or help us with the spell," Hope asked.

"Did I mention that I'm great at multitasking," Lizzie sassed.

Hope rolled her eyes and helped set up a protective symbol, just in case the spell went sideways.

"Okay, we're ready," Josie said, sitting in the symbol.

Lizzie sat next to Josie as Hope sat down too. They grabbed hands and Hope felt them siphon magic from her. Then they began doing the spell to give the mirror its power back.

After they finished, Hope carefully wrapped it and placed it in a gift box.

"Who is the mirror for anyway," Josie asked, taking some pain medicine for her headache.

"My father, Axel," Hope said.

"Why would you go to this much length to give him a mirror? I mean, I know it's magical but a gift card probably would've been safer," Lizzie said.

Hope thought back to last night. Axel's anger when the mirror broke was enough to terrify her. She also recalled Jack's guilt once he calmed down. How he was actually scared for his life. Hope promised that she would help him. However, she never told him how she'd help.

"It's important to him," Hope said, glancing at the twins, "Thank you for helping me. I owe you one, seriously."

"Well, in that case, how about a tour of New Orleans," Josie suggested, making Lizzie agree.

"I would be happy to be a tour guide for you ladies," Hope grinned, bowing playfully.

"First, let's wait for this headache to go away," Josie smiled.

"Good idea. I can ask Hope more questions in the meantime. Since your father is an angel, does that mean you're related to God," Lizzie asked, turning to her.

"I think I'm going to need some of those pain meds to get through these questions."
