All By Myself - Hizzie

witches aren't real right?

It's been a couple days since Lizzie and I slept together, and I feel that it brought us emotionally closer we let ourselves be completely vulnerable with each other and the bond we hold just got 10 times stronger.

This past week I thought about my aunts and uncles and decided that it's not their fault they didn't know I existed, and spending some time with them wouldn't hurt. So I picked up my phone and called the number they gave me, and Elijah picked up and said: "Hello, who is this."

I froze for a second and stuttered, "It's me. Hope your niece."

"Hello, Hope, how have you been since we last met."

"I have been fine. I was thinking about it, and I want to get to know you guys if that's okay."

I heard a squeal in the background and knew it was Rebekah when she said: "that's amazing how about tonight for dinner you could bring your girlfriend, so you don't have to come alone."

I said, "that sounds perfect, can you just text me your addresses, thanks." And hung up the phone and went upstairs to ask Lizzie if she wanted to come with me.

As I open her door, she gave me a smile and said, "Hi baby."

I walk up to her bed and sit down and say, "tonight, I am going to go see my aunts and uncles for dinner, and I want you to come with me. Actually, it was Rebekah's idea, but I would have invited you either way.

She got all excited and said, "really, I can come with you."

I smiled and said, "you're my girlfriend, of course, you can." And gave her a quick kiss

It was about time to leave, and I still haven't received the address, so I called the number again. Maybe they just forgot it happens. As the phone rang, I saw Lizzie walking down the stairs, and she looked gorgeous, and I got distracted for a moment then I realized someone answers the call, and I said "sorry I got distracted I was calling to get the address."

I heard Elijah say, "you won't be needing it look outside."

I hung up the phone and opened the curtains, and there was a limo waiting there, Lizzie walked behind me and said: "is that for us."

I said "I think so." When we heard a doorbell ring, I opened it, and a chauffeur said: "I am here to pick up Ms. Hope Mikaelson and Ms. Lizzie Saltzman."

Our parents walked downstairs and said, "have fun girls, please don't come home too late, and if you are going to please give one of us a call."

We gave each of our moms a kiss and walked to the limo. The man opened the door for us, and we both sat inside, and we were both speechless. There were all of our favorite candies snacks and everything that we both loved.

I tried to take a twizzler, but Lizzie slapped my arm and said: "not before dinner. Hope."

I let out a smile and said, "okay, mom."

"If I was your mom, I don't think I could do this." She leaned in and gave me a kiss

When we parted I put my head on Lizzie's shoulder and we just looked out the window looking at all the people and houses and shortly after we arrived at a gate and the doors swung open, and we drove up to the house, and Both Lizzie, and I were in awe the house was magnificent it was like the ones you saw in movies.

When the limo stopped, the driver opened the door for us, and we saw most of the family waiting at the door. We walked up to them and said our hello's and walked inside. I don't know how it could be possible, but the inside looked more significant than the outside did. We walked to the living room where Kol was watching a movie. He looked at me and said, "come here, Luv, I am not going to bite. We walked up to the couch and sat down, and he said: "Hope I am so glad you called it meant a lot to us that you wanted to get to know us."

I smiled and said, "it wasn't your fault. My father kept me a secret."

"Nik did what he had to do to protect you, and if keeping you a secret from us was something he had to do."

"what do you mean to protect me."

He smiled and said, "what do you know about witches."

"not much just what I have seen in movies mainly."

He laughed and said, "Your grandma was a witch, and so is our aunt Freya."

I don't know if he was being serious or not, and Lizzie said: "that can't be true. Its impossible witches don't exist."

"oh, Luv, they are very real how about we discuss it over dinner."

We all got up and walked into the dining room, and I am pretty sure my uncle Kol likes to mess with people, but I love a good story.

We all sat down, and it was a little dark in the room. Kol said: "Freya, do you mind and pointed to the lights."

She snapped her finger and said one word, and all the light popped on? I almost fell off my chair and said: "how did you do that."

Kol said, "magic."

"there's no such thing."

"Want me to tell you a story about our family and their history with the supernatural."

I nodded my head and looked at Lizzie, and we both wanted to hear it as the platters were being delivered to each person Kol spoke in a lower tone and said "over a thousand years ago there were two sisters they loved each other so much they would do anything for the other. But one day, Vikings came and slaughtered the whole village leaving only the two girls alive and barely at that point they were thrown into a house and were kept there for most of their lives."

I said, "what does this have to do with magic."

He smiled and said, "I was just getting there." And continued the story, "the only reason the girls were spared was that they had a power that could help their takers with crops and anything that needs doing. The older sister did everything they asked, so her sister wouldn't have to. She became their slave. The younger one was free to do what she wanted; she didn't even practice magic anymore. She met a Viking man named Mikael and decided to leave her sister there and get married, and that's precisely what she did.

Lizzie spoke up and said, "so the younger girl left her sister that did everything for her when she met a guy."

Freya said, "that's exactly what happened." And continued from where Kol stopped, "the girls haven't seen each other in many years, but one day the younger one comes begging her sister to help her because she can't have children she did it, but at a high price she demanded to have every Mikaelson firstborn."

I was confused and said, "they were Mikaelsons?"

Freya answered, "The older sister no but, the younger one took the name in marriage."

Lizzie and I listened to the whole story, and when it was over, I said: "how does this relate to you guys because there were vampires, werewolves, but none of you were mentioned."

Elijah spoke up and said, "the two sisters from the beginning of the story are your grandma and great aunt. The bastard child was your father. Freya was the one that was taken, and Rebekah was the little girl that tried to protect your father. And three other boys were me Kol and Finn passed away."

I said, "that was a nice story, but none of it can be true, right?."

Elijah's face was changing. He looked like a monster he had fangs out, and his eyes turned black. I looked at Lizzie, and she was terrified. I took her hand, and we just ran out of the house as the family looked at us. Whatever these people were, we didn't need it in our lives. We ran until we can safely call our moms to pick us up. We didn't speak about what happened that night to anyone because we didn't want to sound crazy, but that face I will never forget.
