tell the wolves i'm home

IT was a whole week after the mexico incident and Rebekah had invited Hope over for a sleep over, the first sleepover she has had in a while.

She had just gotten home from school and just went straight over to Rebekah's after texting her for directions. When she pulled up the huge white mansion, she couldn't help but stare at it in complete awe. She had never seen anything so beautiful and extravagant all her life.

It truly was a sigh for eyes, and a lot to take in. She wouldn't say she was poor, but she has never had enough money to buy much. Her mother is struggling just to find money for bills, and when you're a hunter, you don't make money.

Walking up to the front door, she did not expect to be met with an unfamiliar face, but yet feel like she knew it.

The man who answered the door was roughly in his late twenties, blonde curly hair, bright blue eyes, and an awestruck expression on his face.

That man was Niklaus Mikaelson, not that Hope knew that, though. He was more tgam surprised to see his daughter walk up to his house, to him. He didn't expect to be this up close with her, and he couldn't help but be ecstatic. He is finally face to face with his daughter!

"Um... hello?" Was the first words that came out of Hope's mouth once she came out of her daze. Something about him made her magic buzz, and in a good way. He seemed more familiar than Rebekah and Kol does, and even though the hunter in her told her to be suspicious, she couldn't be. It was like, being around Rebekah, Kol, and even this unknown man, her magic felt at ease, like it finally found what it was looking for all this time.

Shaking out of her thoughts, she stared up at the taller man with big doe eyes that melted his undead heart. He loved her so much even if she didn't know who he was.

Klaus cleared his throat and smirked at her. "Ah. You must be Hope Mc--McCall." He had to force the last name out of his mouth.

Hope nodded. "Just McCall," she told him, being her smartass self.

Klaus chuckled at his daughter, seeing a lot of him in her, and it made him happy that she took after him without even knowing. He enjoyed it. "Ah, I see."

"Nik, who's at the do--" a voice cut itself off and a mocha colored skin woman popped up behind him. She froze just like Klaus did before recovering pretty quickly. "You must be Hope, Rebekah's friend from school."

Hope tilted her head. "Are you her parents or something?"

Both Hayley and Klaus choked over their own saliva before shaking their heads. "No, no, no," they repeated, their eyes wide.

"I'm her older brother," Klaus corrected, chuckling lightly. "Hayley here is my wife."

Hope's mouth flew open and she said, "ohhh..." She then clumped her mouth closed and started chuckling, too. "Sorry. I'm just confused on who's who because Rebekah never mentions much about her family."

"It's fine, sweetie," Hayley said which made Hope smile at the pet name. "Rebekah just likes to keep us on the down low because she thinks we'll ruin her reputation."

"What reputation?" Hope asked before blanching. "Oh, my god. That sounded terrible."

Klaus chuckled, shaking his head at his daughter. "You're right; she has no reputation because she's a--"

"You wanna finish that sentence?" The girl in question rhetorically asked as she somehow appeared behind him.

Klaus closed his mouth before smirking which made Hope giggle. "I like you." And that was the truth, in less than a minute, she already began to like and trust them, which is a big move for her.

"Now, now, don't ruffle his ego," coaxed Rebekah before grabbing Hope's hand. "We'll be in my room. Don't bother us."

And just like that, Hope spent one of her best nights with Rebekah. They did each other's hair, makeup, had a dance off, a singing competition, watched some chick-flicks which Dean will kill her for if he finds out, and they just talked, getting to know each other a little more.

At one point, Kol had waltzed on in, and acted like one of the girls which Hope really got a kick at. She loved it. It made her feel like she was normal, not like she was a tribrid hunter who has literally been through hell and back.

But, what everyone didn't know was that shit was about to hit the fan faster than they thought.
