In the Salvatore School's garden, Hope Mikaelson stumbled upon something extraordinary. Hidden beneath a cluster of old oak trees was a shimmering, iridescent doorway—a portal to another world. It was a discovery so strange that she couldn't resist exploring it.

Late one evening, Hope traced the ancient symbols from a magical book and activated the portal. With a deep breath and a mix of excitement and curiosity, she stepped through.

On the other side, Hope found herself in a world that looked similar but was noticeably different. The garden, the mansion, and even the sky felt foreign.

Confused and worried, Hope wandered through the grounds, searching for answers. She saw Alaric Saltzman standing outside, looking over the school grounds. Hope approached him, hoping to get some clarity.

"Alaric!" Hope called out. "Where's Josie?"

Alaric turned and looked at her with confusion. "Josie? Who's Josie?"

Hope's heart sank. "Your daughter. Josie Saltzman."

Alaric laughed lightly, shaking his head. "I only have one daughter, and that's Lizzie."

Hope's world seemed to crumble. "No... that can't be. Josie has to be here."

Alaric shrugged, his expression unreadable. "I can't help you with that."

Hope felt a pang of emptiness at the realization that in this world, she had never met Josie. The thought of a life without Josie, without their shared moments and deep connection, was almost unbearable.

Desperate, Hope left Alaric and started to walk through the grounds, visiting places that held deep meaning in her life with Josie.

Hope first visited the dock by the lake, where she and Josie had shared their first kiss. She stood at the edge, staring out at the water, trying to recall the warmth of Josie's embrace and the magic of their moment. The memory of their first kiss brought tears to her eyes. In this world, it seemed like that beautiful moment had never happened.

Next, Hope went to the enchanted garden where they had spent countless afternoons. She wandered among the flowers, their vibrant colors reminding her of Josie's laughter and their shared dreams. Each flower seemed to whisper memories of their time together, amplifying her longing.

She visited their favorite secluded spot by the ancient oak tree, where they had often talked about their hopes and fears. Sitting beneath the tree, Hope tried to feel Josie's presence, but all she felt was emptiness.

Hope wandered through this alternate reality and discovered that she was alone. In this world, she had achieved success but felt emptiness without Josie by her side. Everything she did felt incomplete without Josie's presence.

Hope's heart ached as she realized the depth of her feelings for Josie. The absence of Josie made everything in this world feel hollow. She knew she needed to return to her own reality where Josie was a part of her life.

Determined to find her way back, Hope searched for clues or any magical means that could help her. Her love for Josie was a powerful motivator, and she clung to the hope that she could somehow reunite with her.

In the library of this alternate reality, Hope scoured ancient texts and magical manuscripts. She was determined to find a way back to her world. With the help of some local magical scholars, she worked tirelessly, focusing on her emotions and memories of Josie to help her find the porta

After days of searching, Hope finally found the portal hidden in a secluded part of the library. With all her heart and the strength of her feelings for Josie, she activated it. The portal shimmered and began to pulse, beckoning her home.

Hope stepped through, and in an instant, she was back in her own world. She rushed to the garden where she hoped to find Josie.

Hope ran through the garden and saw Josie standing by the old oak trees. Josie's face lit up with recognition.

"There you are, sweetheart," Josie said, her voice full of relief. "I was looking everywhere for you."

Hope ran into Josie's arms and jumped up, and Josie caught her effortlessly. They shared a passionate kiss, full of the relief and love they both felt.

After the kiss, Josie gently asked, "Are you okay, baby?"

Hope smiled widely and replied, "I'm more than okay." She kissed Josie again. "I love you."

Josie smiled back and said, "I love you more."

They held each other close, knowing their bond had only grown stronger. Together, they would face whatever came next, knowing that their love was unbreakable.
