Three's a crowd.

"Oh I have been busy. I kind of got a part time job in a way."

Hope POV

Christmas had come and was now over. I was happy as there seemed to be a lot of stress but I was sad as it was a great time to be around my family. Mom and Dad had gone all out with decorating the compound. Rebekah, Cole, Marcel and Davina had all came for the occasion. I spent a great deal of time with Lizzie who got introduced to all my family.

Everyone loved Lizzie and welcomed her with open arms. I really enjoyed just being back with my family and didn't realise how much I missed it. I was now in the library as I had a couple tests to study for now that we were back. It was a bit quiet with a couple of students. Just the way I liked it. 

After I was finished I decided to go for a run. It had been a while since I was able to actually go wolf out and I was really feeling it. I put my stuff in my locker and went to the woods not far from school which my Dad had mapped out a space where student's that were werewolf's could run about. Since it wasn't a full moon until the weekend I the only one out there. I found a secluded spot and striped off my clothes and then I carefully took off my neckless that Lizzie had giving me . I smiled at it because it was one of the best presents I had ever gotten. My bones started cracking.

I was fully turned and took off into the trees. It was an amazing feeling as a wolf and I couldn't imagine a better time that I had. It felt very freeing as my feet hit the mud and I was quick at moving it was nearly a blur. I would find an animal and chase it and then let it go after a bit. I did that for about 2 hours before I returned to where I left my clothes. I shifted back and put the neckless back on. I was picking up my clothes when I heard a branch crack.

I quickly looked up and my eyes sparked to yellow again. The girl I had met in the library was standing smiling at me. There was a glint in her eye as she looked me up and down. 

"Hey Hope. Fancy seeing you here."

The girl was smiling like she was when we first met. 

"What the hell are you doing out here? This place is reserved for werewolf's only."

She chuckled.

"Just thought that I would go for a stroll. I was never one to follow the rules. I am sure you can understand that. What if I said that I was hoping to run into you out here? The fact that your naked is an added bonus."

I was still naked while holding my top. The only thing that was on me was the green neckless that Lizzie gave me. I didn't really care that much because I wasn't the type of person to cover myself up or feel weird.

"Why are you trying to find me? You still haven't told me who you are by the way."

"That's true. I thought I would leave an air of mystery but I will just tell you. I am sure you will find out soon enough anyway because you are so damn intelligent, Hope Mikaelson. My name is Stefanie Salvatore. I am the daughter of Damon and Elena Salvatore. You Dad has probably told you all about them."

It all clicked in my head. I remember My Dad telling me about them. They had been enemies and then friends. It was a weird relationship but he says that is all in the past. To his knowledge they had been staying in France for the last 10 years. 

"You could say that."

The smile never seemed to leave her face. Stefanie looked up and down my body before turning around and walking away. 

"It was good to see you again, Hope. You have a rocking bod by the way."

I was left alone and again I was wondering what the hell just happened. I got on me and went to meet my parents for lunch.

Lizzie POV

I had finished with one of my classes and was walking back to my room. I was still on the high that Christmas had brought. It was truly amazing. I had missed my Dad so much and it wasn't the same without him there but Hope and her family couldn't have been nicer. Hope had already asked me to come but Hayley had found both me and Josie to invite us to their house for the holiday.
