"Hes malnourished and terribly dehydrated. The Tribrids blood might've healed his wound but hes still going to need to remain under super vision for a while" Mrs Tig spoke, signing the form herself.

"Thank you" Lizzie hugged the girl, squeezing her tight.

Hope smiled lightly, pulling the girl off her. Her eyes instinctively went to Josette who seemed a little upset. "Is something on your mind, Jo?"

Lizzie leaned over, getting close to the auburnettes ear. "She knows you kissed Landon"

Hope nodded, like the information didn't even affect her. She lightly grabbed hold of the brunettes arm, taking her down an empty hall.

"You kissed him" She held her head down, almost embarrassed she had to confront the girl on it. "I didn't kiss him, Josette." Her eyes lifted up at the sound her her full name in such a soft tone. "You didn't?"

"No but we did kiss..he kissed me and I pulled away." she sighed "I'm sorry, I was going to tell you...but I didnt have the time." Jo nodded.

"Did anything happen while I was gone?"

Her brain instinctively went to the kiss, the kiss she thought she was sharing with the real Hope. The kiss that blinded her and exposed her. "No." She replied dryly, plastering a smile on her face.

Hope nodded, making her way down to the Wolf cellars. "I'm glad you're not hurt."

Jo smiled to herself, knowing the Tribrid cared about her brung her lots of joy. They both headed down the stairs, standing infront of the cage that holstered a crumbling Dr Saltzman.

"Hope Mikaelson" His voice echoed, his disgust clear. "What do you want with me? Whats your plan?"

"Like I'd ever tell you" He spat. "Wheres the girl?"

"Shes dead." Hope answered dryly, looking around the cell. "If you wont tell me, I'll have to find out the hard way." She flashed her golden eyes, the veins grew from under them. "And its going to hurt."

"Torture me all you want, I wont tell you crap."

"Oh no, this is worse than torture" She opened the cell, grabbing his neck and slamming him face first to the floor. "This is my revenge" She said, her voice echoing throughout the empty cellar just before she entered his mind.

It was dark, cloudy..something she expected from a villain. The first memory she came across was a small village, what she assumed was his true form was standing there happy amongst what she could only guess was his family.

She watched curiously as the sky turned dark. She watched her father walk towards their small house. His face innocent. They opened the door at the sound of a knock, never having anything evil enter their village they were completely blind to the attack he planned.

"May I come in? I just moved here, I brought Tofu" He held up the small trey and they happily invited him inside.

They ate the Tofu, probably the best meal they had in a while. He smirked up at them, throwing his knife across the table and jamming it in to the mans arm. "I heard you've been looking for me?"

She left the memory space, she already knew how it would end. How the revenge begun. She just needed to find the now, the memory on why he needed her aunts grimore.

"What is she doing? I heard screaming" Lizzie entered the cellar, her face falling on to the girl in a kneeling position frozen over their father. "Shes in his mind" The brunette replied.

Hopes eyes opened, she raised from her kneeling position "I found it." She closed the cell door, looking back to the man still unconscious on the floor. "What is it?"

"Not to worry, they can't do the spell. Not without the spirit they made. Which is dead" She wiped off her hands. "So everythings back to normal?" The blonde asked.

"Some what." Hope yawned, exhausted from her "adventure".

"You should get some rest" Jo pointed out, her hand mindlessly landed on the auburnettes shoulder. "Are you two going to be okay?" Lizzies eyes scanned over her sisters hand placement before looking back up to the auburnette. "We're not the ones who were chained up for 2 weeks." The blonde replied with a nervous chuckle.

Hope nodded, rubbing her eyes. The blonde followed closely behind, possibly pushing her boundaries. "I can stay with you tonight..if you'd like?"

"No, its fine. I've dealt with way worse. Thank you, Lizzie." She continued to walk off, shutting her room door behind her. She really was exhausted.

Her twin creeped up behind her with a curious look "What was that about?"

"I could ask you the same thing." Lizzie looked back at her. "Why didn't you tell Hope about this kiss?"

"Why didnt you?" She retorted.

"Tushee"

Hopes eyes closed, immediately transferring her back to the cell. She stretched her arms out, the chains tugging them back. "No" She mumbled, wondering how she got back here when she fought so hard to leave. "Dr Saltzman !" She shouted, afraid he was long gone. And sure enough there was no reply, she was all alone.

She shook her head "Its just a dream" She repeated. Her dark self appeared, standing in front of her. "I will have your power." Her voice echoed, almost as if it was real. "I'll be the better Tribrid"

Hope tried to break from the chains, to free herself. "You'll never be me !" She shouted back, breaking the chains and waking up.

Her eyes landed on her darker self, she leaped from her bed. "How are you still alive?"

"You can't kill a spirit that easily..darling" She charged at Hope, determined to take the girls body for herself.

"And you can't keep a Tribrid hostage" She raised her hands, letting her magic surface as she shot water the girls way. She fought back, a dark energy slinging towards Hope.

"You might be a Tribrid but I was made to beat you" Her voice was filled with venom, a disgusting sound. Her dark energy splashed over the Tribrid, knocking her through her window and sending her crashing to the floor below.

She groaned, her back aching from the fall. The other version of her shot down, slowly making her way over. "You're nothing without your friends."

"We'll see" She stood up "invisique"

The girl looked around as Hope crept from behind, she was completely oblivious to the attack. The Tribrid grabbed stuck her hand through the girls chest, bringing out her inner Mikaelson. She pulled back, yanking the girls black heart from her chest and watching to fall to the ground. "You must've forgot I'm a Mikaelson" She spat, looking at the girls dead body.

She then snapped her spine back in to place, dropping the darkened heart and making her way back in to the school.

"I thought you were sleeping?" The brunette pointed out, looking the girl over. "Why are you covered in dirt."

Hope groaned "I don't want to talk about it."
