Our New Found Hope

Two: Hope McCall

Bonnie Bennet took Hope Andrea Mikaelson to a women she knew would take great care of her. That women happened to be Melissa McCall and also happened to have a son born the day before Hope.

As Scott and Hope grew up, they got frequent visits from their aunt Bonnie. Melissa was aware of Hopes history. Bonnie was always welcome to come visit Beacon Hills California, especially since she helped Hope control her magic. When Bonnie wasn't visiting, she was traveling the world not only to stay off the Mikaelsons radar, but to also explore witch cultures.

As a little girl, it was always obvious to Hope that Melissa and Rafael weren't her real parents. She could clearly see the differences between her and the rest of the McCalls. She had bright blue eyes compared to their brown, pale skin contrasting their tan. Even her hair color was different. While Hope had light brown-auburn hair as a child, her family members all had dark brown.  Despite their differences the McCalls loved Hope as their own.

Hopes "twin" was her best friend. Her other best friend, Stiles Stilinski, completes the three musketeers. Together the three wrecked havoc all over Beacon Hills as they grew up. Both Melissa and Stiles's dad Noah tried to tame them in between their busy work schedules. The three kids went through everything together-school, Rafael leaving, and Stiles's mom passing away. They shared a bond that couldn't be broken.

Like for many others, high school was full of ups and downs for Hope.  During sophomore year, both Hope and Scott were bit by a werewolf, turning the teens life upside down. One of the many ups was the new group of friends made from the supernatural world. Among them a not-so-secret-anymore boyfriend. 

Derek Hale was a strong and silent man with a mysterious look. Upon seeing his tough exterior, it can be assumed that he has had a rough life and is a man to be feared. Hope was never one to fear this werewolf. Ever since they first met, they had a strong connection and eventually they would come up with excuses to spend more time alone together. Hope was the only one Derek would allow to see his soft side, and Hope was the same way. After a while, the two began dating, keeping it to themselves. Not only was their an age difference between them, but the two did not want to make anything more complicated for their pack in their already hectic life.

Unfortunately for them, their secret didn't last long. Allison was the only person Hope told in order to have a cover story for sleepovers at Dereks loft. One morning after finding out about the Nogistune, Scott, Stiles, Lydia, Isaac, Kira and the twins walked into the loft before Allison could stop them.

"Derek? Derek?" Scott called

Before waiting for a reply Allison suggested, "looks like he's not here. Let's check somewhere else." She tried to usher them out.

Before she could get them to leave Isaac started to ascend the spiral staircase leading to the bedroom. The others follow against Allison's protests.

"Oh what the... Is that Hope?!" Isaac screeched coming to a halt at the top.

The two people in bed, thankfully clothed, jumped awake.

Furiously, Scott ran to his sister and pulled her out of bed. "What the hell?" Turning to Derek, "Seriously man?"

"It's not what it looks like," Hope tries.

"Oh really? What is it then?" Stiles sarcastically asked waving his arms around while walking over and standing protectively before his sister figure.

Derek rubs his face and looks over to Hope. She sighs before saying, "ya it's exactly what it looks like, we're dating."

On top of that,  she also found out she was a tribrid. She had always known she was a witch, but what she didn't know was that she had pore supernatural in her gene pool. After getting bit by Dereks uncle Peter, her werewolf gene was somehow triggered. Furthermore, while battling an Oni, a sword was plunged into her back and straight through her heart, killing her instantly.

"Hope!" Was the last thing she heard before falling to the ground.

Scott, who was fighting next to her, ran to catch her. Crying out, "Hope. Please no. Please. Please wake up."

Time seemed to stop for the entire pack, all shedding tears.  Derek walked over to his love and knelt down beside her brother. Crying in front of the teenagers for the first time.  He place a kiss to her forehead before gently picking her up and carrying her to the car. 

They started to drive away, not exactly knowing where they were going. Only knowing they needed to bring their fallen friend home. Stiles pulled into to parking lot of the hospital, Melissa running out to the car in her scrubs.

"Oh my god Hope! Get her inside. Come with me." Melissa ordered while ushering them into an empty room.

"Mom, she's dead" Scott sniffled confused.

"No, no. She's not. She's going to wake up. Just like Bonnie said. She has to." Melissa was mumbling on the verge of hysterics.

Before anyone could ask what the mother of two was talking about, a large gasp for breath was heard.

"Hope?"
