IT WAS LATER that night when Hope calmed herself down enough to figure out what to do. And what she decided to do was going to change her life for better or for worst. She just didn't know which yet.

Hope bounded into the Mikaelson's home, and into the living room where they all happened to be gathered. She looked between each and every one of them, seeing a lot of similarities. But, when her eyes landed on Klaus and Hayley specifically, she could see it. She was the perfect combination of them.

"Hope, what are you—?" Rebekah asked, but was cut off when Hope's glare was set on her specifically.

Hope had swallowed that anger when it was a fire-seed and forgot to drink something cool, and so it grew in her belly until it came out as hot as any dragon has ever flamed. She opened her mouth, and she began shouting.

"How could you?!" She screamed, her face red as ever. "How could you stand in front of me and not say smithing, not hint at anything?! I thought we were friends, you backstabbing bitch!" Her voice visibly broke as she glared at Rebekah. "You knee since the first day we ran into each other. Ever since I found out, I've been going over and over again with all my time I spent together with you, with all of you! All the little things that I didn't notice because I was too tired of too busy with threats, all the little looks and the way you guys would tear up around me. I can't believe I didn't see it any sooner!"

"You all looked me in the eyes and lied to me! You stood there and acted like my friends, and watched me be more clueless than ever." Ashe laughed darkly, shaking her head as tears stung in her eyes. "I trusted you all! I let you in my life! I let you in my pack! And what did you do?! Lie, lie, lie!"

"Hope—"

"No!" She bellowed and the whole house shook, making everyone concerned.

"I have always wanted to know where I had come from, who I came from, who I was, and you all knew the answers. You had all the fucking answers and no one told me a goddamn thing!" She slammed her foot down which made things begin to fall of shelves. "I can't believe you all just sat there, having all the answers to all my problems, and not giving them to me!" She cried, tears sliding down her cheek, and onto the floor. "I hate you! I hate all of you!" She screamed and then took off, not even allowing any of them to utter a word before she was gone.

Hope didn't know where she was going, all she knew was that she wanted to get away from them and anything that had to deal with them.

In less than ten minutes, she had found herself at the Stilinski household, and she bursted into the house, up the stairs, and into Stiles' bedroom. The boy had been pacing and mumbling to himself before turning around with wide eyes as the blonde slammed the door and then just stared at him with tearful eyes.

He had never seen Hope like that, so deflated. Her loose shoulders shook, her hands hanging low, making no attempt to conceal or even wipe away her own tears. Aside from her reddened face she was so grey looking and her hair was dishevelled. He looked at her with wide eyes before asking, "what happened?"

And that's when Hope finally broke down. She fell to her knees, and sobbed loudly, only leaving Stiles to kneel by her, and wrap her in his arms.

They stayed like that for hours, on his floor, wrapped up in each other's arms, wondering what tomorrow will be like.
