TMT Chapter 7

I open my eyes to see that I'm back in Hopes room, I can hear voices coming from the corridor.

"Dad, she can't stay here, she's dangerous," I hear Lizzie say.

"How dare you say that Lizzie, she had one breakdown, how many have you had in the past month.' I hear Josie yell.

"That beside the point" Lizzie defends herself.

"Girls, just please stop fighting for five minutes, while I deal with this mess."

"Okay, dad." They said unanimously.

"Now Hope, I want you to just watch her and make sure she feels welcome."

"Okay Ric"

I open the door and scare the shit out of them.

"Dani, how long were you there?" Mr Saltzman

"Long enough to hear Lizzie's comment and if you really want me gone, I'm more than happy to leave."

"Dani you made a promise to me" Hope pleads.

"I know I did and that's why I'm staying."

"So now that that's sorted out what do we do with her." Lizzy interrupts

"I have a name" I snap.

"Dani will be enrolled and attend school. She will bunk with Hope."

"Cool now that that's sorted. I have to speak to Hope" I say I really need to tell you about what happened in my dream. "Alone," I say as they make no move to leave. They begin to walk away, but not without a sceptical look from Lizzie. I grab Hopes hand and drag her back into her room. Sorry, our room.

"What's wrong, Dani. Are you feeling okay" the worry was radiating off her in waves. I looked to the floor.

"Have you ever had a dream, that's more than a dream" I look up at her straight in the eyes. I could see her mulling it over in her head.

"Yea I guess so."

"I met our mother last night and our uncle."

"What. What are you talking about?" She looked absolutely shocked.

"In Limbo" I could see the tears in her eyes.

"What did they say" She mumbled

"She said that people will come for me if they find out I'm a Mikaelson. She was going to say something else, but a loud roar cut her off. I'm sorry, Hope. I woke up immediately after." She just sat on her bed.

"Thank you for telling me, Dani."

I walk over to Hopes bed a place my hand on her knee. She leans into my shoulder. I can fell the silent tears wetting my shirt, but I do not mind. I don't know why it may be that she's my sister, but I've never felt this comfortable with someone apart from Niles.

I don't know how long I sat there with her leaning on me, but at some point, we must have fallen asleep.

It was mid-afternoon when I felt something move, I wanted to roll over and go back to sleep. I opened my eyes to see Hope was trying to remove herself from the tangled mess that was our bodies.

"Sorry" I mumbled as I rubbed the sleep from my eyes.

"You say sorry a lot."

"Sorry, shit, sorry."

"It's okay. Do you want to grab some food? I haven't eaten all day."

"Okay, I'll be on my best behaviour. Scouts honour." I said with a smile and 2 fingers in the air.

"Let's go then," she said with a chuckle.

We make our way to the cafeteria. As soon as we enter yet again all the talking dies down to hushed whispers. There weren't nearly as many people due to it not being a main meal. We went into the kitchen and made some sandwiches. We went to sit back at the table Freya sat at. "Hope, why do you want to get to know me?

"What" her mouth opened in shock.

"Why do you want me to be near all I bring is pain."

"I don't believe that Dani but the same could be said of me. My father died, mother my uncle. Everyone dies. My only family is split apart all across the country. Rebekah, our Aunt, is in New York with her husband, Marcel. Uncle Kol is in California with Divina and Freya whom you've already met lives in New Orleans. So yeah everyone around me dies or isn't here anymore or hates me."

Her speech leaves me shocked. "I'm sorry, Hope."

"Why are you sorry. I'm the reason they're dead."

"How?"

"I kidnapped mom so that Dad would come back to help me find her only for my crazy ex-boyfriends' Mother to kidnap her again and keep her captive till I suppressed my werewolf side. But she wouldn't let me and died for it. I needed a parent, so I got Aunt Freya to put the Hollow in me, so I could have my family back only for it to nearly kill me. So my dad got Lizzie and Josie to put it in him, and he then killed himself along with Uncle Elijah. So yeah it is my fault."

I put my hand on her shoulder. "That doesn't make it your fault Hope. You didn't know that would happen."

"But it did."

"Dani can I see you in my office, Hope you can come too," Alaric says as he walks over here. We both get up and follow him. All three of us are just walking in silence. His office looks even better in the day.

"Dani I just need to know how you activated your werewolf curse."

I look down to my feet. "Someone tried to hurt me, and I knocked them into a wall, and their head split open."

"That's okay it was an accident. "Alaric says

"Alaric there's something else as well. When I was still a baby, some bad people experimented on me. I'm different." I say as in unfurl my wings. I look at their shocked face's. Hope slowly reaches out to touch them.

"They're so soft," She says.

"How," Alaric asks.

"I'm not sure I've had them for as long as I can remember. That's what the scars on my back are from."

"Does it hurt," Hope asks?

"No, it's just numb," I say.

Suddenly someone knocks on the door. I curl in my wings and nod to Alaric. "Come in" He calls.

A middle-aged man comes in. "Ric two kids turned up said Caroline sent them."

"Thanks, Dorian, I'll be down in a minute."

"We can talk later." He says.

"Bye Ric, we'll be in my room." Hope calls as she grabs my hand. As we walk, I hear a voice that I hadn't heard in years. I towards until I see the boy I hadn't seen in years or should I say, man. "Niles" I whisper as I leap into his arms. "I thought you died."
