A New Chance

Memories

Hope POV:

Staying in wolf form for more than a couple hours is a strange feeling. It makes my brain feel simpler. Dad was on a slaughter, I just watched and kept up with him. I only partook when I was hungry. Dad was doing it for fun. He will lose his shit when he learns that Henrik is alive.

Elijah has been cleaning up after us, burning the bodies and campsites, I'll have to thank him later. Dad passed out in a field, I had Elijah follow me to a large bush. I turned back, "Thank you so much, Elijah. Please toss me my clothes." I said loudly. Next thing I knew clothes were flying at me. I quickly dressed, thanked Elijah again and took my backpack.

Elijah tossed Dad clothes when he woke up. "You've been busy." Elijah said. "That was amazing. How long has it been?" Dad asked. "Two days. Full moon came and went and you remained a wolf." He answered. "I can change at will then. That's good to know. I remember every single kill." Dad said.

"Yes I've been cleaning up your little mess along the way." Elijah responded. "Just like old times, brother." Dad said, smirking. "I was with you the whole time as well." I added. "How is that possible?" He asked tilting his head. "That is a short question with an exceedingly complicated answer. Let's each go home and shower, meet up at the Grill in two hours." I said, speeding away.

After a long hot shower, I made breakfast and let Theo and Tyler know that they could come back. I had asked Niklaus to have Maddox come with maps. They joined us at the Grill sitting in the back. I had grabbed several bottles of booze and cups for the conversation.

"I don't mean any disrespect but why am I here?" Maddox asked as I placed three cups in front of him. He pulled out his maps, two of the same. "While I am capable of magic, Niklaus trusts you enough to work with you. Trusts you to find the truth. I need him to bleed in one of the cups, I'll bleed in the other." I paused pouring each of us a drink.

"The blood will be used to find Mikaelson's. It'll help to explain things. One map for his blood finding people. One map for mine. Pour it away from the Grill on both maps." I continued. Maddox did as I asked after both Dad and I bled into our cups.

Using Dad's blood first, the blood pointed to the grill, then to the house I bought, and to New Orleans. "Why is the blood so heavy over our location and your house? It's not finding me, it's finding those related to me." He asked. I didn't say anything, waiting for Maddox to do the spell with my blood.

The blood trailed from the Grill to my house, to New Orleans. "What the fuck is going on with these maps?!" Dad demanded. "I have some news that you won't like, but I'll prove it to be true. The magic I use won't enter your mind. You'll be entering mine." I started, taking a drink.

"I am Hope Mikaelson, I'm your daughter. I come from a different timeline. You had a one night stand with a member from the Crescent Wolf Pack. Since you broke your curse, your wolf side allows you to have kids. That's how I came to be. I am what's called a Tribrid, since your mother was a witch, I inherited her magic through you. I also inherited the Werewolf Gene and Vampire Genes. I died when I was eighteen, and that caused my transition. There is a lot that I can show you if you allow me." I said, tearing up thinking of Mom.

He looked doubtful, but turned to Maddox, "You can go. I got this." He told him and Maddox left. "Show me." Dad said offering his hand. I showed him my childhood memories, how he met Mom. Despite the pain I showed him my horrible decisions that led to her death. How Dad took the Hollow to save me, and that Elijah died with him.

I then showed him my life at the school, all the work I had done, and how my world ended. The next memories were waking up in Death's office meeting Morpheus and getting Henrik back. Then how we were slowly taking over New Orleans. How I woke Freya, brought Aunt Dahlia into our family, and then how I took his casketed siblings.

"Hope!" He said, tears in his eyes. He jumped up from his side of the table quickly rounding it, taking me in his arms. "This is insane. Wait you took my siblings and the other casket?" He said leaning back. "Yeah, Freya woke Finn up. You are going to have to deal with their anger. It is earned. We will handle Mikael and Esther together. Your siblings deserve to be awake. I can help everyone." I told him quickly.

He looked like he wanted to burst. "Let's get really drunk before we head to my house, does that sound good?" I asked offering him the bottle. He started quickly downing it, I focused my magic on slowing his heartbeat and cooling his temperature. He stopped drinking, "This is going to be really bad for me isn't it?" He asked. "It could be much worse. I have something that I need you to agree to." I told him.

"That's awfully ominous. Lay out your terms Little Wolf." He said smirking. "I have Katerina Petrova, torture is on the table but no murder. She just wanted to live. One thing you don't know about the Hybrid curse is that you need living Doppelgänger blood to turn Werewolves into Hybrids." I told him, using some magic to persuade him to be more lenient.

I can't have Katherine in hell. She caused far too many problems. I could see the fight in his eyes, I pushed my magic forcing him to agree, this isn't an option. "Fine, but Rebekah and I will have so much fun with her. For some reason she truly despised Katerina." He said, going back to his drinking. "When we go looking for Werewolves, only turn the ones that want to be turned. Turning people against their will breeds resentment." I told him showing how he had to slaughter most of his hybrids.

"That didn't go well for me. Especially all the failed attempts previously." He said looking at the table. "We can do things right this time." I told him taking his hand. "Are you ready to meet your sister as your sister? You met her already." I told him. He looked confused but then memories of Freya flooded his mind. "Ah yes, let's go." He said picking up some of the bottles.

"But of a drinking problem?" I asked. "No just trying to numb the pain I'm going to be in." He responded. Once we made it to the house, he was as close to drunk as we can get. Freya opened the door inviting him. "Freya. I'm so sorry for my previous behavior." He said hugging her. "It's good to see you little brother." She said gently kissing his cheek.

Finn came up the stairs loudly, "NINE HUNDRED YEARS IN A BOX! I WAS AWAKE FOR SIX HUNDRED YEARS!" Finn shouted as he made his way towards Dad. "Oh shit." Freya said stepping aside. Finn tried to throw Dad around but I froze them in their spot. "Not inside the house, take this out back." I said releasing them. Finn took Dad by his jacket speeding them outside.

Elijah and Freya removed the daggers from Kol and Rebekah's chests. I gave them each a flask to wake them up, once awake they were told where Finn and Dad were. I didn't like seeing Dad get his ass handed to him by his siblings but it was necessary, he definitely earned it, no matter how noble he was trying to be.

It was late at night when they all came in. Dad, Rebekah and Kol all went to shower. The freshly woken Originals had to be shown how to use the appliances. I waited for everyone to come to the kitchen, Elijah, Finn and Freya would help explain and show the others how things have come to be. I had taken the daggers, putting them in my bag. Only Freya and I will be able to get to them. Elijah has his, but has been thinking of giving it back. Not wanting to have one available to any of them. This will be a long night.
