Alone
Hope starts to slowly become paranoid, she couldn't walk quietly without turning around or searching all over the place to make sure no one is there.
When she does her shopping, she notices that they are lacking products, cars are changing places.
She was not alone, Hope was sure.
Two weeks later, Hope couldn't take it anymore. She had lost hope that her family would come and get her, she was living her worst nightmare over and over again; to be alone.
She thinks about her father, he would be so disappointed with her if he knew what she was about to do.
She's in the supermarket tying the rope tight.
Hope was going to hang herself. Commit suicide, to end his nightmare.
She climbs on a stool, wraps the race around her neck.
The auburn haired girl closes her eyes, breathes for what seems like the last time. She was about to jump, but a noise catches her attention.
Someone was eating crisps.
The tribrid opens her eyes and looks to her left, a girl who looked the same age as she was standing there eating crisps, looking at her in the distance.
The hazel-eyed brunette walked over to Hope and tossed her packet of crisps without much attention.
"Hello." The girl's voice was soft, but no emotion tinted her voice.
The brunette sighed and is now in front of Hope, looking her straight in the eye.
La Mikaelson studied her more closely, but was cut off by the other girl's question.
"Were you planning to kill yourself?" Hope nods unable to utter a single word.
The stranger gently removes the rope from Hope's neck, and sighs in relief.
"Do not do it again." Hope just nods.
"Who are you ?" Ended up dropping the Mikaelson in a trembling voice.
"I'm Josette, but call me Josie. You are Hope."
"How do you know ..-" Josie doesn't let the other girl finish her sentence.
"I've been watching you since you got here. You've kept me entertained ..."
“Wait,” Hope frowns in irritation as she begins to understand what Josie is saying. "It was you who made me go crazy !? I thought I was going completely crazy!"
The brunette couldn't think of anything better than to let out a light laugh and smirk.
"I almost killed myself because of your bullshit!"
"My apologies sweetheart, but honestly I thought you would have found me before you thought of this option."
"Seriously? Didn't you find anything better as an excuse to scare me for weeks !?"
"Hope, to me you were like some kind of television, and frankly there isn't a whole lot to do here."
Hope sighed and crossed her arms, taking a step back, finding Josie to be too close for her liking; they had barely met.
But Josie takes a step closer, which brings her closer to Hope, and still with a smirk. She takes the lapels of the tribrid's jacket and pulls it closer to her until their lips are touching.
Hope takes a few seconds to recover from her shock, before responding to the kiss.
They end up separating because of the lack of air, then the Mikaelson realizes the situation: She has just kissed a stranger.
She pushed it away violently, Josie laughed even more.
"Ok, okay I'm sorry! It's just been so long since I last saw someone so pretty." She moved closer again to caress Hop's cheek.
"Stop hitting on me!" Exclaimed Hope, then in anger walk towards the door of the supermarket and out. Josie followed her a little further.
" Hold on !" Hope rolled her eyes and turned to see the brunette who is slightly out of breath. "I'm sorry Ok?"
"I'm not as used to human contact as I used to be," explains the brunette.
Reflecting on Hope, Hope must have been here a few months, but Josie, must have been there even longer than she.
"It's true I gave you a nasty blow, but-" Hope cut off the brunette.
"You were planning to kill me?"
"Why would I want to kill half of our population?" The brunette smirked again, which was starting to irritate Hope.
"So like I said before I was interrupted, maybe start over?"
Josie holds out her hand to Hope, who is reluctant to take it.
"How can I trust you?"
"That's what's fun, you can't." Hope didn't find it very funny.
She ends up taking the hand of the brunette.
"Okay but no dirty trick."
"Promised."
