Inside MALIVORE | HopexClarke |Legacies

6 | Earth to Ryan Clarke

HOPE'S POV

Three days had gone by,according to the calculation we made from Clarke's watch. Three days stuck in this world with nothing to do,no way out. If Malivore was gonna be an unending place of darkness,at least he could've added something interesting here or the people would eventually bore to death. But here's the twist,you can't die in here,you can't kill yourself,you are literally immune to everything JUST SO you can suffer in this hellhole. So that doesn't explain how my magic works on Clarke,you're supposed to be immune.But again,Malivore seems to despise his son so he might've made an exception for him so I can hurt him. Except,I don't plan on doing that for now,so far Clarke's been a decent person so I've got no reason to hurt him. Besides,he is trying to help me in every way possible by brainstorming through all his knowledge about the pit.

The thing is,this pit is made of magic. And magic,always has a loophole. So we just need to find that. I suggested out of pure desperation that I can try dying once so my vampire side gets activated. But then Clarke pointed out that once I die,I'll be in transition and to become a full vampire,I'll have to feed,except,there's not a single drop of human blood around.So it'll be a total flop and I'll just die after 24 hrs of not being able to feed. Thus,that plan got kicked out of the list. Now this place makes you immune to death so you don't need food or anything. Your body functions normally and you don't feel any weakness or anything. So since we have all the time in the world,we'll figure something out soon. We have to.

CLARKE'S POV

I could see Hope getting restless by each passing day. I have no one out there but she has a lot of people she wants to protect and save the day from yet another monster since the pit seems to be functioning fine. She keeps getting nostalgic about her friends and family,she tells me legendary tales of the Mikaelsons and I listen,how they ruled over New Orleans,how her father would dagger his own siblings whenever they won't listen to him and then bring them back whenever he pleased,how her mom had to get married to another wolf to lift a werewolf curse while she was so in love with Elijah Mikaelson,how her aunt Freya appeared out of nowhere after hundreds of years,quite the family she had. Full of drama and the most twisted kind of bond between them,but at the end of the day,they stood by eachother always and forever. I'd do anything to even live a DAY with such an interesting family,my life will finally have the fun I always craved for.

I go around looking for trouble but at the end of the way when I go to bed,I know that in this vast world,I am all alone and I don't have anyone to go to when I'll need support. And now,Hope doesn't as well because everyone forgot her. And behind all of this,there's only one reason. My father,Malivore. He destroyed everything,for me,for her.He ruined it all.

In all my years of staying in this place,I called out for him SO MANY times but he didn't listen until he wanted to.Klaus Mikaelson,who's always been considered the most dangerous predator,even HE cared about something, his daughter,his family.But my father LITERALLY doesn't have a heart.Growing conscience inside a mud-man was the worst thing to happen in history.He should've just remained a golem who could be destroyed by simply removing the symbol on his head.If we go out,I am myself going to find his creators and make them remove that symbol from his head.The last time they couldn't do that because the humans interrupted,they considered him their new God who saved them from monsters.All hopes I ever had of being able to please him so he can see that I am worth his attention,I am over it.I don't need such a father who abandoned me when he thought I was imperfect.Actually, he isn't even my father,he's just my creator.That's it.We have no relation apart from that.

I sometimes wonder how Landon became lucky in every way. He is my father's favorite son,he also has a mother,who however has jumped into the pit,again that was to protect him,Hope jumped in here to protect the world.And me?Nobody ever did such things for me. If only I had someone as family...well technically, Landon IS my family but I despise him. Everytime I look at him I realize what a failure I am. He's a perfectly functioning person,not a mud man like I am. He was BORN from an actual human being while I was somehow put into shape from mud. I am inferior to him in every way and that makes me hate him more.

"Earth to Ryan Clarke!" Hope snaps me out of my thoughts.

"Huh?"

"You are literally glaring at God knows what.Who are you thinking about?"

"Your boyfriend."

"Landon?"

"He has everything I don't, Hope.He has EVERYTHING! While I am just a loser."

"Whoa whoa whoa,Clarke,who said Landon has everything?He grew up getting tossed from one foster home to another,he didn't know who his parents were all his life!Then he finds out his father is this evil hell dimension golem Malivore.What makes you think he has everything??"

"Hope,he has a mother!He got a mother,a father who is OBSESSED with him, he's got friends,He's got...you ."

"Wait wait,what do you know about his mother?"
Obviously they don't remember.Credits to my father who is an expert at making people suffer from amnesia.

"I don't. All I know is she jumped into this pit too,so none of us even remember her. But he HAS one atleast, she gave birth to him. What about me?I was created then abandoned right after because I wasn't my father's definition of PERFECTION.Landon is!He has everything, Hope,I have nothing,zero!"

Hope looks at me with compassion and looks me straight in the eye.

"But you functioned so long alone ,Clarke.Imagine how strong a person has to be to be able to do that.You survived alone,you pledged your loyalty to that one person who hurt you the most.You are not a loser,as long as you have yourself,you are strong,brave.Your own mind is your biggest support,if anyone knows that the best,it's me."

Somehow her words calm.Her words give me hope.
