"She wont be out for long" The auburnette spoke, throwing her hair back. "Did you get everything you needed?" He asked in a deep tone. She looked up, Alaric was standing before her except it wasnt really Alaric. "Yeah, we're secure. Get her out of here."
She plopped down on to Hopes bed, tired from all the information she gulped in from the girl. "Shue" She swatted the man away, he nodded rolling his eyes at the girl for thinking she was in charge.
"So you're telling me we can't take her powers?" She asked the man, angry that she was awoken from her nap and angry that this plan wasn't fully working. "No, shes an Original thats not how it works."
"Then how am I suppose to fool everyone? Huh?" She scoffed "Shes a Tribrid you can't exactly mimick those powers now can you?"
"Maybe you could unlock your curse?" He suggested, thinking that would make her one fourth of what the Mikaelson was. "Are you dumb?" She blinked. "I'd turn at every full moon, without any control. You think no one would notice that?! Come up with better ideas next time" She slammed the office door, this plan was going to shit and she was thinking of backing out, only problem is that she was made for this. Literally, she was made from dark magic to be Hope Mikaelson. Except how is she suppose to be an Original Tribrid?
"Is everything okay?" The brunette asked, her face dropped at the sight. "Josie...oh, wow." The girl was beautiful, she was in a white dress with a concerned look just for her...
"Yeah, everythings fine..." Her smile felt as if it was stuck on her face, her eyes stuck looking the girl over. "You like the dress?" She asked, noticing the way the girl was looking at it.
"I mean—I love it" She retorted with a big smile. "You look gorgeous" She spoke in a low tone, her body felt things that she wanted to act on. "Thank you, Hope."
"Any time, beautiful." She began to walk off but paused, she wanted the girl..even if it would ruin her mission. "Josie..." The brunette looked back at the sound of her name. "Will you meet me at my room tonight?"
"Of course !" She smiled brightly "I'll be there around 8."
"See you then"

Hope struggled against the chains, unable to use her magic. She was weakened by dying and the air she breathed. The chains were cold, cutting into her wrist so that every time she tugged her skin peeled back. Spikes dug into her wrists, the room was dark and smokey. The air basically choked her up, she wondered what was in it. There were no windows, no bed..just emptiness. Like in her dreams, her nightmares.
"Who are you?!" She shouted, glowing her eyes. She hoped someone could hear her. She had no idea what was going on at the school but she was worried, she was worried for the twins for her..family. And she left them unguarded, she should've finished the spell.
"Hope? Is that you?" The familiar voice shouted from a room next to her. It was Dr Saltzman, she knew that authorative voice from anywhere.
"Alaric?" She called "What are you doing here?"
He groaned "They knocked me out a few days ago"
"They? Whos they?" She asked, completely oblivious. She hadn't even noticed he was gone, whats going on? "They're people made of black magic, we were basically copy and pasted."
She blinked, that explains that night. Shes so stupid, how did she just fly past that. She should've questioned it more. She groaned, messing with the chains that were uncomfortably digging in to her skin. "We need to get out of here." She pointed out. "We have to get back to the school."
"We can't" He sighed "I've tried."
"We can't give up, they're all in trouble." She refused to let her friends die, to let anything happen to them. She wasn't sure why Alaric had given up..it couldn't be that hard. She coughed, getting weaker by the minute. Almost as if she was dying.
