She was walking around the forest she was familiar with all too well. This time she wasn't lost in thoughts or upset about being away from her mate she was happy. She rushed past to the green trees, moving at a rapid pace to reach to the bank. She sat on the bank side, watching the moon, reflecting it's shadow. She waited for the wolf to come out from behind but it didn't. She got scared, it never took the wolf this long to meet her. So instead of waiting she decided to search for her. She wandered around the dark forest looking for the golden orbs she admired so much but she didn't find it. She started to feel anxious when she didn't see her. She heard snap of branches "Hope..." She shouted her name but noting came out. She moved closer to the source of the sound "Hope" but the wolf disappointed her again. She was scared what if it was a wild animal invade in this area of the forest but she encourage herself to move further and look behind the bushes....

It was a weird dream. She couldn't met her mate there but she didn't let the negative thoughts consume her positive feelings. She smiles thinking about her mate and begin her day.
She was ready to move past the anger and grudges, she held towards the tribrid. When Lizzie told her she wasn't in a relationship with the phoenix boy and she was upset after the rejection. It maybe because of the mate bond. They were special and she wanted to try it out with her mate. She wanted to believe in the tales she heard when she was little. When the two lovers separated and meet again, they apologies and confess their love to each other then nothing will ever tear them apart. It was time that she forgive her mate and confess her feelings and they would get their happy ending just like any other fairy tales.

On the other hand she was scared too, what if Hope didn't feel the same? What if Hope rejects her again? What if something happen this time too? These what ifs also invaded her mind, she wanted a new start but her past always place a doubt in her mind. She didn't wanted to get hurt again. The possibility of the negative and positive outcome of today consumed her thoughts and in the end the strong one is win. But she wanted to take that risk.

She took a shower and wear a yellow top with black skirt. She was nervous to tell Hope about her feelings but it was the right thing and she wanted to make everything right between them. She went to cafeteria but didn't find her saccubus friend there. She was worried about Sophia after the spell she performed yesterday. Sophia was unconscious, maybe she should check on her. After breakfast she went to check up on Sophia but Lizzie grabbed her and took her to the town square.

"Reporting for portal duty. I brought backup" Lizzie says as Hope was sitting on a bench where they last found the portal to malivore. Beside Lizzie the brunette was standing fidgeting with her fingers when she looked at the tribrid but Hope didn't match her gaze as she looked down. Lizzie sat on the bench beside of Hope with Josie on her right.
"So this is nice. Right? Us... together again" Lizzie asked while mentioning them
"It's great" "It's awesome"
"I mean for the two of you not talking to each other because of a past misstep... I think we're more evolved than that as a woman"
"Absolutely" "without a doubt"
"Good. Because personally I've never been better. My work paid off, my mind is sharp and all perceive mental break downs were a figment of my imagination fed by two manipulative vampires who will remain forever my enemies"
"What's going on with Sebastian?" Hope asked the blonde twin
"Headmaster downtown abbey wants us to enroll him to keep him off the streets. But after deliberately letting me think that I was unwell I will not let that happen"
"You should forgive MG" Josie said
"Never"
"He didn't want to hurt you"
"He hid things from me. Zero stars"
"He isn't the only one hurting his mate" Josie said eying the tribrid
"I didn't want to hurt you either" Hope states looking at the brunette
"Yeah well zero stars" She noticed the prism in tribrid's hand
"Is that what I think it is?" She asked the tribrid
"Yeah" She nodded while Hope handed her the prism "here, I don't need it anymore" Josie took the prism from her.
"Look at us, clear hearts and minds. Letting the power of intellect rule the day over our emotions. Moving forward with dignity and grace. This is the true definition of girl power" Lizzie engulfed both her sister and the tribrid in a side hug "I'm proud of us"

A monster appears on a bench just beside them. He introduces himself as a sphinx. They make themselves invisible as they captured the sphinx. Josie's phone rings she look at the caller id, it was Sophia. She answered her call
"Sophia..."
"Jo-sie..." Her voice statured "I got your text. I'm sorry to make you worry..." There was loud music in her background "Sophia... where are you?" The brunette asked
"Some bar... I don't know.... our mates are liars Jo... they are in a relationship... and I can now relate to your situation how much it would have hurt you to be rejected... cause he rejected me too for your mate so I'm drinking away my sorrows..." She hung up.

-----------------------------×------------------------

Hope got a call from New Orleans this morning. Her aunt Freya came to visit her in Mystic Falls. She went to town square to meet her aunt and kept an eye on the portal. After her meeting with the twins she was going to bus station to receive her aunt.

"Hope" She turned around to find her aunt standing behind her. They both move forward as they hug each other.
"How are you here?" The tribrid asked her aunt
"Well I met your mate, who came to me to decipher a black magic spell and also told me that your life's at risk. I just needed to make sure your okay" she replied "beside I wanted to see my beautiful niece"
"What do you mean? I'm fine" Hope states.

"Hope... she is your mate... even if you rejected her, I could saw that she cares about you and being your mate maybe have some perks to it. We only can make assumptions" They sat on a chair near the park.
"She's also my twin flame which is why the rejection only put a break on our bond not severed it" Hope tells her aunt her head down fidgeting with her fingers.
"Then you shouldn't have done that Hope. I'm still disappointed that you rejected your mate who risked her life to save yours" Her aunt scolded her

Hope sighed. When she first told her family that she found a mate and that is a girl everyone in her family supported her but when she informed them that she rejected her mate they were very much disappointed at her. No one openly said anything to her but their reaction was enough to show that. Freya and Rebekah perhaps told her about what happened when Klaus got rejected by Caroline. He was heart broken as well but he found Camille and fell in love with her but his heart always yearned for his blonde mate. That was in summer vacation when she visited her family in New Orleans for a week. She also mentioned them that she regretted her decision but she couldn't do anything cause her mate went away. Her wolf was restless all the time as it was grieving in it's own way. Freya told her that she needed some time to relax and wait for her mate and when she does she should apologies to her and make up to her. Having a soulmate was something everyone desires and she was lucky to found hers.

"She hates me aunt Freya, I apologise to her, I tried to talk to her and explain everything but she didn't allow me. She asked me to act like a stranger to her, she even..." She paused for a moment "...she even tried to mark someone else. Not to mention her saccubus friend always being on all over her"
"Hope... you're being childish" Her aunt states
"No I'm not. I'm just saying what she has told me in past months ever since she returned" Hope tells her. "I just... I just want her to treat me the same way" She paused thinking about every moment Josie was with Sophia or any of her friends. "I want her to chose me, to tell me every problems she faced, to hold my hand when she got scared... I want her to lo..." She paused when realised what she was saying and when looked at her aunt, Freya was staring at her with an awe expression and a proud look in her eyes.
"Oh my god. You're in love" Freya states. The tribrid look away to hide her blush at her aunt's comment. Then she remebered something what Josie told her when she asked about her if she wanted someone else
"It doesn't matter aunt Freya cause she loves someone else" Hope replied sadly.
"Of course it does. Have you ever told her any of this?"
"I would have if she given me any chance to talk to her besides the monster attacks are not making it any easy. We have a lot in our hands"
"Why don't you take a break, come to New Orleans and we could research about this monster in my faction of witches" She suggested "it would also give Josie some time to think about the bond"
"Maybe a vacation is what I need"

--------------------------×----------------------------

Sophia was drinking her 13th shots of vodka when a guy approached her. He flirted with her and she needed a distraction. They made their way to the parking area when the saccubus was all over the guy, trying to erase every memory of the phoenix boy. She didn't even realised when she started to drained him, just then a magical wave hit her and she flew back few meters away from him. She looked up to find the blonde Saltzman girl in front her.
"Have you always been a whore or you're just clumsy?" Lizzie taunted her
"I expected Josie to get me... not you" Sophia answered annoyed at the blonde to ruin her play.
"Well she was busy taking a monster to the school"
"Hmm..."
"What are you saying on call...?"
"You eavesdrop on our conversation?" She asked
"Josie handed me the call... now tell me what Hope Mikaelson did this time?" Lizzie asked sternly.
On the mention of the tribrid's name, seeing her and Landon together broke her heart all over again as she felt the pain in her chest.
"I need a drink"

They went inside as Sophia ordered drinks and drink three peg one after another
"That's enough.. even for a saccubus" Lizzie exclaimed. She was getting irritated as the saccubus was taking time to tell her
"Have you ever got rejected by your mate?" Sophia asked the another blonde
"Who's your mate?" She asked her
"You don't. That's why you don't understand what I'm feeling right now" Sophia drinks another peg.
"Can you please tell what happened?"

"Landon..." Sophia said his name as a tear slip from her eyes. Lizzie's eyes widened comically at this new information.
"I think I need one too" she told the bartender as he placed a drink for her as well. Lizzie immediately drink it
"What the hell happened then?" She asked Sophia.
Sophia told her everything from the start. How she find out and how in the cruel way he rejected her for another girl and that another girl is her best friend's mate.
"What does Hope has anything to do with this?" Lizzie asked her
"Cause I found my mate kissing that tribrid in her room. They were all over at each other. And I just can't get that image out of my head" She finished another drink.
"No no no. Hope can't do this... not again" Lizzie hissed. She remembered last time what happened to her sister when she got rejected, she went away for 10 months and she was afraid something worse could happen this time.
"I thought that too. But if you believe someone blindly they will prove that you're blind"
"If what you're saying is true... I'm not going to sit here watch my sister getting hurt again." She answered "but you need to stop drinking and come back to the campus"
"One more shot..."

-------------------------×-----------------------------

Josie was in her room talking to hologram Hope from the prism as she was trying tell her about her feelings without getting mad on her.
"I'm sorry I don't have a straight answer for you. You have to ask her on your own" the prism Hope tells Josie.
"Look, I have hit the girl power rock bottom. I hate to ask this myself but cut to the chase. Do you want me?" The brunette as the hologram
"I can't answer you that because I'm a prismatic hologram of your subconscious, I only know what you know. You have to find out what she knows" Josie groans at her attempt
"That's what I'm afraid that if she don't want me because she thinks everything is her fault including this malivore problem which isn't her fault. She was just helping Landon and she would also blames it on her that it's her fault too that now the monsters wants Landon"
"So why don't give them?"

Josie got an idea as she asked Landon's help to solve this problem so there won't be anymore problems that could stop them from being with each other.

Landon agrees to her plan and they asked the headmaster and discuss their plan with him. He appreciated as he agreed with them. When Josie went to her father's to ask for tribrid's help, she wasn't there, Alaric told her that she went to New Orleans with her aunt. Josie was hurt by his statement but she needed to stop her before it's too late for her to confess.

Hope was about to get in the bus when Landon approached her
"Hope, don't go. I love you" Hope stopped as she turned to find the phoenix boy standing there. She get in front of him
"Landon... I'm sorry for yesterday but I..." She got interrupted when she heard Landon's voice again
"You have to find Hope?" He said in disbelief. Hope also noticed the brunette beside him and two Landons.
"What's going on?" She asked no one particular
"I have a plan and we need your help" Josie states and the tribrid nodded at her.

-------------------------×--------------------------

"This is the opposite of girl power, this is opposite of clear thinking. You're telling me there is two Landon?" Lizzie asked her sister in disbelief.

When they returned from the bus station they headed to the common room. Landon told the brunette that he will describe this plan to Hope while Lizzie dragged Josie to their room, saying she has something important to discuss with her. Josie noticed that Landon's being clingy to the tribrid, if Lizzie hadn't told her that they broke up she would have thought that they were together. But she can't think like that right? Hope's her mate and she belongs with her. Nonetheless she agreed to Landon's request as she didn't wanted to have an argument with the phoenix boy.

"What is it you can't just wait to tell me?" Josie asked once they entered in their room
"You're gonna have to postpone your admission of love to your mate" Lizzie states.
"I'm not... I wasn't going to tell her..." Josie admit
"But you said..."
"Yeah but now I have a solution to all this monster problems and we're just going to discuss it with Hope"
"What kind of solution?" Lizzie asked her sister and Josie explain it to her.

"Yes. We're calling the other one as Simu Landon" Josie starts to described her plan to her sister.

"Headmaster Vordemus helped us. We used this object called a trident to bind the mind, body and spirit of the Simu Landon with a spell"
"What kind of spell?"
Lizzie interjected when she heard that Josie asked for headmaster Vordemus' help and uses dark magic.
"Nothing you need to worry about"
"Josie, dad will melt you if he finds out you're dabbling with black magic"
"I'm not dabbling. I'm doing what's need to be done to close the portal. We're gonna use him as a decoy." She explains rest of the plan to Lizzie.

"And using Landon's hologram to made his prismatic decoy or are you just trying to find out what Hope's going to say if you confessed?" Lizzie asked her sister as she knew how Josie got this idea.
"Maybe but if we put a stop on the monsters then nothing will scared her to have a relationship..." Josie said. Lizzie sighed, she understand everything would be more normal if they weren't in constant danger by the malivore monsters.
"What are you going tell me when you dragged me here?" The brunette asked
"Oh... it can wait... you should focus on this plan. I'll have some urgent work that needs my attention" Lizzie replied as she moved out of the room. She has to confront Hope before saying anything to Josie. She didn't want to break her heart again not when it's her mate's job.

After Lizzie left her in their room. Josie headed towards headmaster's office when she found a very drunk Sophia in a heated make put session with some random student in the corridors. She pulled away Sophia breaking them apart, they both groans at the sudden interruption.
"What the hell...!!!" The another guy who has the curly hairs says annoyingly.
"You just ruined it" Sophia exclaimed.
"No you ruined your promise" Josie replied then looked at the boy "You can go now"
"No. I want her" he replied looking the saccubus with lust full desires in his eyes and take a step closer to her when Josie stand between them
"It's over"
"I'll see you later Chris" Sophia winked at him and he smiled at her and walked away but not before glaring at Josie.

"What did I told you about not sleeping around in the campus" Josie yelled at her. Sophia walk towards her room, ignoring Josie
"Chill... We were just... making out" she slurred her words
"Are you drunk... why?" Josie asked her with concerned
"I told you... on the call" Sophia replied still walking ahead of her
"I didn't listen... I gave Lizzie to attend your call..." She try to explain but the saccubus increased her pace not listening to her
"Can you stop for a second and tell me why you're acting like this?"
"Like what?" Sophia yelled at her as she turns to answer  her
"Did something happened? I'm sorry for doing that spell but tell me what happened after that" Josie asked her politely.
"Oh... you mean when I fell unconscious and suddenly remember that I lost every one of my people and I didn't remembered any of that because a mud monster killed them" She has tears in her eyes as she speak next "and suddenly I remember that after losing everyone in my life I found my mate only for him to reject me because he is in love with your mate"
Josie's eyes widened at her sudden outburst. The saccubus never told the brunette that she found her mate.
"What do you mean?" She asked afraid to hear her answer
"I know how it feels to be rejected Josie and I couldn't blame you cause I know that you don't even know that Landon and Hope are in a relationship..." Sophia was crying at this point where Josie still couldn't believe what she heard
"No... no Soph, you may be mistaken, Hope can't do that..." She says more to convince herself
"Why are you defending her can't you see she don't want you, she never did. I found them both in her room sucking their faces..." She laughed almighty the painful memories  "None of them ever considered what would have happened to us and rejected us without a second thought"

In the end her fears became reality. She was afraid to be rejected again and now she knew she was always the tribrid's second choice when she didn't have Landon with him. She was glad that she didn't humiliated herself in front of the tribrid by confessing her feelings but she did feel foolish to fall for the charms of the only tribrid. She never would have believed that her ex
