(A/N)- Everyone wants to speed up season three and I completely agree, (Super funny that- that rhymes unintentionally)

So we're going to be skipping around to episodes that I find important for the storyline 👌🏻BUT -A New Hope- is going to be one of the ones I do not skip for obvious reasons as to, I'm a nerd and have a whole storyline thought up for that one.

⚠️Remember to read the Author Notes at the end there is a special vote.⚠️

Third Person POV~

Lily waltzed into the room with a bed tray, closing the door with her foot.

Hope smiled as she heard the door open. Though her eyes were closed, lavender filled her nose. Lily.

"You know I can see you smiling, I know you're awake." Hope felt the bed dip on the left side. Turning her body, she opened her eyes to see the beautiful blonde sitting there with a tray full of food.

"What's all of this?" Hope asks with a giggle as she sits up, resting her back against the headboard.

"Well, we're just getting through a rough patch and I thought I'd do something nice for you." Lily shrugged and Hope looked at her with slotted eyes, she knew her well enough to know when she was hiding something in her tone.

Lily blushed at her stare and scratched the back of her neck. "And it may or may not be our anniversary..."

Hope raised her eyebrows and smiled brightly. "Really?"

"Well it was kind of a year ago today we had our first kiss and if we don't count you jumping into maligoo and our little spat after my birthday-" Lily shrugged with an innocent glance.

Hope couldn't stop herself from giggling at her love's antics. Leaning forward Hope kissed Lily on the cheek before returning to her spot and looking at all the food. French toast, banana bread, bacon, and a large plate of large sugar-coated beignets. Along with two cups of coffee and water bottles.

Hope smiled brightly as the two made eyes contact. "You're perfect." Lily's smile lessened for a moment "Perfect is a bit of a stretch. But thank you." the Salvatore said before she began to eat.

Hope reached over and tucked a strand of golden hair behind Lily's ear as she spoke lightly "You're perfect to me." The Mikaelson began to eat as well, then she looked at her girlfriend and smirked "Fangs and all."

They both laughed before digging in to the food even more.

After a while of peaceful silence, Hope spoke up, her worry finally shining through. "How are you today? I mean, this is one of the first times you seem..." Hope paused in her words, not sure how to describe it.

"More like me?" Lily asked as she took a sip of her coffee.

Hope closed her mouth and sighed through her nose. "Its ok, you can say it." Lily tells her, "I'm ok I guess. I fed this morning, and I've had like eight cups of coffee, so I'm sure that has something to do with it."

Hope was silent for a moment, not looking at the blonde either. After a moment Lily stands, gaining Hope's attention. Hope sighs in relief when the girl doesn't leave, but then scrunches her face when Lily walked over to her desk and grabbed a coin.

Walking back over, Lily sat in her original place, holding out a dime for her girlfriend to take. Hope slowly grabbed it in confusion, "Dime for your thoughts? You don't have any pennies."

Lily smiled as she watched Hope's nose scrunch adorably as she laughs. Hope reached over and held Lily's hand. "Its just, when someone... Becomes a vampire, they always say a part of you dies with you."

When Lily looked down, Hope squeezed her hand. "And I want you to know, that I don't expect you to be your old self if it isn't who you are anymore. I'm here to embrace the changes too. And I want you to be comfortable being yourself around me."

Lily smiled and leaned in, their kiss was sweet and slow. After a few moments Lily pulled away. "Who's other perfect one again?" Lily asks making them both laugh.

"So, I'm thinking just us today? We can go off campus, take my car and get out of town for the day..." Lily tilted her head and smile with big eyes.

They paused when they heard roar. Looking at each other with confused faces, Lily spoke, "Sounds like the wolves are playing rough today."

"So? Were are we going?" Hope asks with a smile. "I was thinking-" Lily began before the peaceful bells of the announcement system rang through their ears.

Hope giggled at Lily becoming instantly annoyed. "I'm guessing it wasn't the wolves." the blonde mumbled as they heard Alaric call for all the upper class outside to the front of the school.

-------

Lily stood beside Hope, dressed in black skinny jeans that had rips at the knees, a blood red V-neck, and a black jacket with the Salvatore logo on it. She chose boots rather than heals today, having a feeling they would benefit her more.

"The Necromancer has made his move and the entire student body is in that high school with him. So the question my daughter asked me earlier is one I put to you now. What are we gonna do?" Alaric asks the teens.

Lily sighs and rolls her eyes, crossing her arms over her torso and shifting her weight.

"I have a plan. In the past, I would have kept it from you. You know, I built this school to protect and your gifts from a world that understands neither, but the way I see it... You're the worlds only shot now."

Hope rolls her eyes and steps forward "Alright, enough with the speech. I'm in."

Lily steps forward with a shrug "Same." as the two walk closer to Alaric, he speaks "Well you haven't even heard the plan yet."

"It ends with us winning right?" they ask.

"Yeah, " he nods.

Lizzie raised her hand "Where the hell is MG?"

"Found a note from him this morning. He went to go help Alyssa Chang." Kaleb tells the group.

"Then I'm in too." Lizzie states in an angry tone.

"Make that three, "

Lily huff's and rolls her eyes "Oh great. The old bird us helping." she started clapping quickly "Yay"

-------

"Alaric said I'm on team Alyssa." Lily speaks as she walks up to her girlfriend. The Mikaelson was walking to the weapons room.

"It seems like the safer option, Josie said The Necromancer killed the principal. There could be a lot more blood there."

"Yes but that leaves with me Lizzie for a few hours, and you know how body she gets on missions." Lily states before turning her head a different direction.

"Lizzie becons me. I'll come find you later." with a chaste kiss on the Mikaelson's cheek, Lily was gone.

-------

Lily walked into the Twins' room to see Josie taking a coin from Lizzie. Watching it glow, the tribrid spoke "I didn't realize this was triplet effort."

Lizzie and Josie jumped at her sudden appearance. The blonde Saltzman sighed happily while the other sighed nervously. "Finally. I need both of you."

"Can't you just siphon me or something, Lizzie?" Lily holds out her arm. "I totally will, " Lizzie grabs Lily's hand and siphons for a moment. After letting go, the blonde smiles, "But you're still coming with."

Lily groaned. "Fine." she started curtly, turning, she sent a cold glance towards the brunette "Don't come near me."

Lily watched a flash of hurt go through her brown eyes. Anger stirred in the blonde and before she could stop it a blast of magical energy shot out of her. (You know how Hope's is blue, just imagine Lily's being yellow.)

Lily watched in slow motion as she watched the energy go through her sister's, throwing them both back. Looking at where they were headed to land, Lily sped towards her blonde sister.

Catching her just before she hit the floor. Lily saw that her sisters were unconscious. Sighing, she was thankful that Josie landed on Lizzie's bed.

Lily picked the blonde up and set her gently on Josie's bed. She looked at them sorrowfully as she listened closely. The Salvatore sighed in relief when she heard two strong and healthy heart beats.

"I'm sorry." She whispered as she walked out.

-------

After taking time for herself, Lily went to Mystic Falls High. Her nose twitched as she followed the sweet delicious smell. Blood.

She found her way to the football field. And the sight before her made her tribrid eyes surface far more than the smell of blood. Speeding over, Lily grabbed Landon by his neck. Just as she moved to twist her wrist, a flash in the air happened. The sickening crack of Landon's neck being heard as it vanished.

Lily watched his body fall with a sadistic smile. "I've been waiting to do that. Felt amazing." she breathed out as her shoulders relaxed and she shook her body a little in a small dance.

Her smile dropped when she saw The Necromancer. "Oh, it's you."

"Yes, my sentiments exactly, " he said as he stood and backed away from her. "You're a bit different since we last had the pleasure, you know before you died and all."

"Yeah, " Lily shrugged before sending The Necromancer flying with a punch. "I'm more pissed off now." she answered.

She heard a screech before feeling flames engulf her.

"No!" Hope yelled as she saw what happened.

-------

Lily awoke to his idiotic voice.

"I don't even breathe. For I, am Harold of Hedes. The Grimmest of Reapers. I! Am death! Incarnate!"

Getting up, she sped behind, grabbing his hair with one hand and his shoulder with the other the Salvatore ripped off his head. "I thought you said The Grim Reaper was a circus clown compared to you. And here you are, admitting you're a circus clown. Well, you do dress the part."

Hope breathes a sigh of relief as she hugs the blonde. "Oh my God. Thank God you're ok."

"Thankfully, somehow." Lily answered as she dropped the head and hugged back.

"Uhm..." they heard. Lily groaned as they pulled apart, looking behind Hope. "Damn it! How are you here!?"

Landon opened his mouth to speak, Lily held her hand up. "Ah!" she yelled. "It was rhetorical." she told him angrily.

Lily looked at Hope, "You and bird brain figure out what just happened. I'll be back in a minute." Hope went to protest but it was too late, she blonde vanished.

-------

Lily walked with a blood bag in her mouth and one in her hand. She found Hope and Landon in town walking somewhere.

The blonde took the bag away from her mouth for a moment, "Where are we going?"

Hope and Landon jumped at her voice right behind them. Turning around, Hope looked relieved at the blonde's sudden appearance, Landon however, scrunched his face in disgust before turning and walking again.

"To find another way out of this prison world." Hope answer as she grabbed Lily's wrist, pulling her to walk with her.

"Great. As if the last one didn't give me enough problems." Lily mumbled before continuing to drink the blood bag in her right hand.

When she finished it, the Salvatore threw the bag on the ground as they walked into the woods before taking the one she had in her left hand and opening it.

Hope used this to entwine their fingers since the blonde's left hand was now free, rather than hold her wrist.

Feeling eyes on her, Lily looked over and quickly stopped drinking her blood bag. "Unless you're offering to tap a vien, I suggest you keep your facial expressions to yourself, bird brain."

Hope looked over at her words. Landon had a appalled face as he looked away from the blonde.

"Sorry. None of the vampire have fed in front of me before-"

"Did I ever indicate in any way that I wanted to strike up a conversation with you? Or was me literally snapping your neck a bit too subtle for you?"

Hope paused in her steps for a moment when she heard a small growl comes from beside her. Looking over, she saw Lily looking away from her.

"The cemetery? Really?" she asks as they hit the boarder.

-------

"I think you're insane." Lily told her girlfriend as the three stood looking down at the Malivore pit.

"It worked for me and Kai, it will work again." Hope told the blonde as she nudged her with her hip. "Do you trust me?" Hope asks.

"Always, " Lily replies with no hesitation. The Mikaelson smiled at that.

"Well then, " Hope reaches out and take Lily's hand in her right, and Landon's hand in her left.

(we need him to kill later don't pout)

"Do I have to hold his hand?" Lily scrunches her nose.

"Get over yourself, Lil. It's only for a minute." Hope tells her.

Reluctantly, the three join hands and step into the pit. As Malivore mud begins to engulf their legs Lily frowns.

"Down the rabbit whole we go."

---(play song)---

When Hope awoke, she was on a bench in the crypt. Looking around there was no one.

"Lily!" Hope called as she stood up.

"Lily!" walking around, Hope noticed the Malivore pit empty. "Lily!"

Quickly, the blonde sped in, using her right hand, she grabbed Hope's arm gently. "Hey. Hey, calm down. I'm here. I'm right here."

Hope released a breath of relief. "I'm sorry, I woke up alone and-"

Lily shooshed her softly. "Its alright. I know... Landon and I woke up at the same time, " the blonde began.

Hope looked at her questioningly "Don't give me that look, he's fine. I played nice. Anyway, he remembers everything, I'm sure it's because we came through with him, he went back to the school already. Said something about leaving his window open and having a good place to climb to the roof, so he's fine." Lily shrugged.

Lily smiled and handed the Mikaelson a cup. Hope smiled "Peanutbutter blast-" "Whip cream on the bottom, all for my little weirdo." Lily finished and kissed Hope's cheek.

The blonde brushed past and moved to sit on the ground, drinking her own milkshake. "Let me guess, triple chocolate-" Hope began only for Lily to interrupt "whip cream layered throughout like a pudding cup."

"Like a psychopath." Hope told her with an amused tone.

"Like a brilliant psychopath. Chocolate, whip cream, chocolate whip cream, repeat until the cup is full and then a dollop of whip cream on top. Even flavoring throughout." Lily explained nonchalantly as they sat and drank milkshakes.

"Still psychopath, " Hope mumbled. Lily just smiled "you love me anyway and you know it, " the blonde smirked when they made eye contact. Hope nodded her head "I do."

The blonde hummed happily, "I love you too... And though this isn't really what I meant by getting off campus for the day..."

The two chuckled a little.

"Its pretty nice in here." Lily shrugged with a smile. "It is, " Hope replied softly.

"So, we're back in our world?" Hope asked as they drank their milkshakes more.

"I didn't see anyone when I went to the Grill, but I heardthe faintest of voices near the evacuation center." Lily told her girlfriend.

"Well then, we should probably go and check on everyone at the school, " Hope said as she stood and started walking out.

She froze when Lily appeared in her path. She sucked in a breath when their ocean eyes met. "Just... One... Dance." Lily spoke softly as she took Hope's hands in her own, walking so they were a few inches apart.

The two smiled as the danced slowly. "Why don't we stay out here a little longer? No one's looking for us, " Lily said as she spun her girlfriend.

Hope laughed as she was pulled back in, "That's because they don't remember us."

"If only we could keep it that way, " Lily commented.

Hope looked at her with concern. "You don't mean that-"

"Well..."

The Mikaelson scrunched her eyebrows at the blonde. "Trying to be a 'good vampire'-" Lily used air quotes for a moment before spinning Hope again. "Would be easier if stupid teenagers weren't whispering behind my back about how I'm already a murderer, and daughter a ripper. It'd be easier being somewhere people didn't know me."

Hope smiled sadly. She heard the whispering in the school, clearly the blonde had as well.

"But, we'll go back in like ten minutes. I'm sure even with no memory, Lizzie or Josie will feel odd with me not being there." Hope looked at her weirdly. "Sister thing." Lily told her with a kiss on the cheek.

"Ok, enough talk, it's my turn to spin you, " Hope smiled. Lily laughed as the Mikaelson spun her around.

When Hope pulled her back, Lily let out a small gasp and held onto Hope's shoulder. Hope looked in worry as Lily's eyebrows scrunched. "Lil?" she asked as she grabbed onto the girls forarms.

Lily blinked and sucked in a breath "Hope... I- I don't feel so good..." when the blonde began to cough.

In worry, Hope started looking over the blonde only to freeze. "Oh my God, " she whispered in a terrified tone.

"Oh my God, " Lily mumbled as she looked down.

The tip of a golden arrow poking through her chest.

"No, " Hope whispered as her eyes filled with tears.

"Hope-" the blonde struggled to speak before her knees calapsed.

The Mikaelson caught her quickly, easing them both to the ground.

"No, no, no, no." Hope began as she watched Lily's finger's begin to grey. "Lily! Lily, hey, open your eyes, " Hope stammered quickly as the blonde's eye lids fluttered closed.

Slowly, the blonde did so tiredly. "I don't want to go, " she whispered as her skin decicate.

Hope watched with a tearful face as the blonde sucked in a breath of pain. Slowly the veins under her eyes began to show, and Lily's eyes glowed a bright gold.

Hope grabbed her lovers face in her hands as she held in a sob. Putting her forehead against the Lily's, Hope closed her eyes for a moment. "I love you, " she whispered.

Moments later, she heard the girl stop breathing. Hope sobbed as she pulled away slowly. In her lap, unbreathing was a decicated Lillian Forbes-Salvatore.

As tears fell and sobs racked through the room, Hope watched all the veins on the blonde's hands turn gold. The Mikaelson watched the glowing gold spread through all of the blonde's veins before a bright light engulfed Lily.

Hope had to close her eyes at the brightness shining around the room.  Once the flash was gone, Lily's body faded away, dust and specks of gold sparkles being left in her wake.

Hope's heart shattered as she heard the bloodied golden arrow fall the the floor. Looking at the pile of ash crushed her soul. She had the love of her life in her hands, and lost her.

-------

After seeing MG with his tongue down Alyssa's throat, Lizzie stormed off.

Bursting into the room next to her and Josie's, Lizzie paused. She walked in with the intention of ranting about what happened, seeking comfort.

So why did she walk in here?

-------

Hope stopped after she walked through the gate of The Salvatore School. Closing her eyes and biting her lip, Hope let more tears fall as she tried not to fall apart.

Walking around the back of the school, Hope passed the party goers to try and get in the school.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Lizzie shouted as the short tribrid bumped into her. "Better question. Who are you?"

"Its a long story, " Hope answered.

-------

"This is all very confusing." Alaric slurred as he and the super squad gathered in his office.

"Because you're drunk. And I really need you to focus, this is a matter of life and death." Hope told the man.

"First things first... I'm only buzzed, " Hope rolled her eyes at the man and looked to the floor. She honestly wishes that she was the one drunk right now.

"Secondly, you haven't told any of us why we should believe anything you have said Miss... Hope, right?" Alaric looked at her questioningly.

"Mikaelson, actually. Klaus's daughter." Hope answered the man I am annoyed tone as she crossed her arms.

"Vampires can't have babies. Anyone else thinking she's a monster?" Lizzie spoke with a scrunched up face. Josie raised her hand from her spot next to Lizzie.

"Lizzie, your mom is literally a vampire." Hope looked at the blonde blankly. "And I know why you guys would think that I'm a monster, because I know that Malivore exists. I know the reason that you're all celebrating is because you just defeated them."

Hope paused and put her hands in her hips. "I also know that you're a witch, " she told Lizzie, "An annoyed witch, probably wondering why MG's off with Alyssa Chang instead of you."

"Or she's a psychic. She's totally psychic." Lizzie whispered to her sister.

Alaric scrunched his eyebrows at this.

"You're a vampire, " Hope told Kaleb. Looking to Alaric, she spoke again, "I'm Doubling down on drunk."

Turning to Joise, Hope spoke to her, "Also a witch."

"Actually I gave up my magic." Josie informed the Mikaelson.

"Thats gonna make this more difficult."

"Make what more difficult?" Alaric asks.

"Do you remember that spell that Josie did to get rid of the Oni, which I know about, clearly."

"Listen we don't doubt what you know, we just doubt how you know it." Alaric tells the girl, making her more frustrated.

Looking to the twins, Hope looks at them with sad and hopeful eyes, "I promise, Lily means a lot to you too."

The twins looked at her for a moment. Something was nagging them in the back of their minds. "I believe you."

Shock went throughout the room as Lizzie spoke up.

Hope released a breath she didn't know she was holding.

"Earlier when I needed comfort, instead of going straight to Josie I went into the room next to ours..." Lizzie paused as she looked at her semi confused sister. Josie hadn't known this.

"There are pictures of Jo and I with a blonde girl. It seems like year's worth of pictures throughout the room. And now... A piece of me feels like it's gone..." Lizzie speaks slowly, almost uncomfortable to admit what she's saying.

"I can teach you the spell, if it's ok with my dad." Josie spoke up. She needed to know who was missing from her life.
