I sighed while staring at my bedroom ceiling, my alarm was ringing, but I had no desire to get up and turn it off.
It was the first day of school, and I already wanted to give up. I didn't know how to move forward after everything that had happened.
My actions had led me to become an orphan, and I would never forgive myself for it. The only thing I could do was accept it and move on; I had promised my parents.
And as if that weren't enough, I had to leave the Salvatore School. Many parents had complained to the principal because they were all afraid of what I could become, that I might harm their children.
Principal Forbes had tried to find a way to keep me there and satisfy everyone, but I decided to leave, seeing it as an opportunity to start fresh. Of course I would miss my friends, but they had promised to visit during the holidays.
Aunt Freya knocked on my bedroom door. «Wake up, Hope. You don't want to be late on your first day of school!»
I was about to start a new life in a new town. I couldn't even go back to New Orleans, my hometown, after what I'd been through there. I had to start from scratch, in a town where no one knew who I was, and Aunt Freya and her wife Keelin had invited me to stay with them in Beacon Hills.
After taking a hot shower, I got dressed and quickly went downstairs for breakfast.
«Good morning.» I said, yawning.
I leaned down and kissed Aunt Freya's belly.
«Good morning to you too, little Nik.»
Aunt Freya and Keelin were expecting a baby boy, and they had told me they would name him Nik, in honor of my father, Niklaus. The news had, obviously, made me very happy.
«Did you sleep well?» I shook my head and sat down for breakfast.
«No, that remedy you made for me didn't work. I had the same nightmare again.»
Since arriving in Beacon Hills, I'd been having the same dream: me, lying in the center of what looked like a circle of fire, completely naked with a symbol carved in my chest.
Freya and Keelin exchanged concerned looks.
«It always worked before.»
Aunt Freya was like a second mother to me and she had always taken care of me.
«I'm sure it's nothing. You don't need to worry about me.»
I reassured them, kissed them both on the cheek, grabbed my backpack, and left.
I lied. I was convinced it wasn't a coincidence and that the dream had a meaning, but I didn't want to worry them.
I got into my car, a black Range Rover that had belonged to my father. Sometimes, I sprayed his cologne inside; it was probably silly, but it made me feel like he was always with me.
