Ruby was still laying asleep in her bed, unconscious. Whilst asleep she was having flashes.. visions and old memories that had somehow been erased from her head were flashing in her mind.

The day she met her epic love, Hope Mikealson...

"I feel like this place is way out of my league." She laughed. "Well.. even if you're a werewolf that hasn't triggered their curse, you'll have a place here with your brother. Hopefully by keeping you here, you'll be prevented to trigger your curse." Hope explained as Ruby offered an awkward smile, but it faltered as she asked "Where is Rafi?"

She's already back to worrying about her brothers.

"He is being lead around by the Saltzman twins. If we put two and two together earlier and realised you could be a werewolf too, we probably would have sent you with them." The Mikealson responded.

Ruby shrugged, before smiling to Hope. "I think I got luckier having you as my tour guide." She suddenly said, as Hope blinked in surprise, before she slightly blushed.

The day she met her bestest friend in the world, Monica Montgomery...

"Hey, whats your name?" The blonde asked, taking a seat beside Ruby. "Oh hi— I'm Ruby. Rafael's sister." Ruby responded, with a smile, as she tried to seem as though she hadn't just been crying.

The pink haired girl then offered her hand out to the girl. "Monica Montgomery." Monica responded with a smirk, before shaking her hand.

Ruby couldn't help but feel eyes on them, feeling awkward. "Why are so many people glancing at us?" She asked the vampire. Monica shrugged, "I guess I'm kind of popular." She admitted, as though it was nothing. Ruby looked surprised, she'd never really been acquaintances with anyone popular before.

Her first kiss with Hope...

Not sure how to best say goodbye, Hope continued to awkwardly ramble, "Bye. Bye, Ruby, Bye Landon." She called out as the as started to walk across the street. Before she could get far, her bracelet lit up and the compass aspect span until the pointer was aimed back at Landon.

When Hope turned to give him a look, she faced Landon who stood awkwardly as Ruby (who'd grabbed onto her foster brother's arm and tested out the watch) wore a grin on her lips. "I wanted to see if it worked." Ruby called out as Hope smiled a wide, genuine smile before running back towards the pair just as the bus began to pull up.

Hope then stopped in front of Ruby, cupping her face with her hands, before she crashed her lips into Ruby's. Ruby was shocked, but closed her eyes and began to kiss back. The two kissed for several long moments as Hope moved her hands down to around wrap them around Ruby's waist.

Her first argument with Monica..

Monica let out a groan before she faced Ruby, "Just accept that I am a bitch, a heartless one at that. Once you accept that, maybe you could try leaving me the hell alone." She snapped, rage visible in her eyes. "There's the thing— I can't accept that. I like to see the good in people. I can see that you're a good person, but you're trying to hide it. Trying to keep people away... you don't have to push others away." Ruby assured the blonde, though she was only feeling angrier by her words.

Monica had no idea where this conversation had come from... Ruby was only a girl she'd met a few days prior. Truthfully, Ruby felt like she didn't know what she was saying, but she truly couldn't believe that Monica was nothing more than a stuck up bitch as she claimed, she knew deep down she wasn't a bad person.

"Don't stick your nose where it doesn't belong wolf." Monica snarled at last, before getting up from her seat. "I don't care about anyone. Only myself." She added before she turned on her heels and walked away, angrily. Ruby's face fell, before she finished her drink, and decided to go back to her dorm.

And her first argument with Hope..

Ruby frowned, "What did you do?" She then asked with sternness in her voice. Hope sighed, "I broke up with Landon." She came clean as Ruby's expression faltered. "I.. I am confused.. I like you, and I also like Landon. I.. I think I need time to figure out my feelings." Hope rambled on. Ruby nodded, "Okay. That's mature of you." She assured her.

"Look... I could deal with the fact that you hurt me, but you hurt my family and that isn't okay to me." The werewolf began, sternly. Hope's face fell. "I know... I am sorry." The tribrid said, visibly upset. Ruby turned away and walked off, as Hope couldn't help but to feel deeply ashamed, realising that she had made a big mistake coming between Ruby and her family.

But nevertheless, she became really close to Monica— they became like family...

Monica caught the Waithe looking at her and gave her a confused glance, before looking back to the road. "What are you smiling at?" She demanded. "Did you mean what you said earlier.. about me... being your family?" Ruby asked.

Monica snorted in amusement, "I was just trying to save your ass." She decided, not wanting to be honest. Ruby just rolled her eyes playfully, "Good... I thought you might have been starting to care." The werewolf said with a grin. Monica smirked back at the girl, "Never."

And Hope and Ruby grew closer, as Hope became Ruby's epic love...

Hope giggled before she approached Ruby, cupping her cheeks gently before she kissed her softly. Ruby kissed back before they broke apart, as Hope kept looking into the werewolf's eyes lovingly. "I love you, Ruby." She confessed, as Ruby's eyes widened before her expression turned into a bright smile.

They'd only dated for a few weeks at this point... but regardless it felt so right. Ruby had been struggling to pinpoint her feelings for Hope... but it became so obvious in this moment that it was love. "I love you too, Hope." Ruby responded, as she kept a bright smile.

And then.. they were gone.

Ruby suddenly woke up, and jolted upright into a seated position. She looked up to find both Jordan and Rafael sitting at the end of her bed. The pinkette let out two words, "Hope— Monica!"

Rafael and Jordan looked confused, "What about them?" Jordan asked as he remembered the girls from the other day. "They're not who they say they are— They're Hope Mikealson and Monica Montgomery!!" Ruby explained all in one breath.

Rafael frowned before he asked his twin, "Ruby.. are you okay?" The boy then turned to Jordan and asked in a low hiss, "What the hell did you do to my sister, man!?"

"I... I don't know why I used that spell... I couldn't think of anything else— it was like it was blocking all of my other thoughts!" Jordan admitted, worried that he had done something to Ruby. "You idiots, I'm fine! I need to find Hope and Monica." She announced, as she scrambled onto her feet and went to leave her dorm.

The Waithe quickly felt uneasy, and looked as though she was going to faint. Rafael jolted forward and caught the girl in his arms.

"Ruby, no! You should definitely get some rest... Sebastian took a lot of blood from you." Rafael insisted as Jordan had told him about what they'd done. "Uhh.." Ruby looked over Rafael's shoulder, and glanced at Jordan who was looking down at his arms as his veins were turning black.

Rafael turned around to face Jordan while he still held his dizzy twin. "What the hell, man!?" Rafael blurted out as he saw the darkened veins on Jordan's arms.

"I.. I don't know!" Jordan admitted, before the dark colour disappeared. "It's okay.. I can control it." He told himself as Ruby and Rafael both frowned, not convinced.

Rafael helped Ruby back onto her bed, before he looked to Jordan. "We need to tell Vardemus about this." He insisted as Jordan shoom his head. "It's fine."

"No it's not!"

Ruby groaned, "Can you guys fight out there?" She asked, as she was feeling uneasy again and simply wanted to try and relax. Rafael nodded, "Yeah Ru... I'm gonna go to Vardemus and then I'll be back." With that Rafael left as Jordan chased after him.

Monica, Hope and Lizzie walked down the hallway, as they hoped to find Monica's boxed up belongings. Coincidentally, the door to Ruby's dorm swung open as the Waithe exited her room. She stopped upon seeing Monica, Lizzie and Hope, walking by and her jaw dropped.

Monica seemed surprised by the pinkette, and unsure whether Ruby recognised them or not she greeted, "Hey."

Ruby let out a squeak, before she rushed over to Monica, and practically jumped into her arms. Monica caught the Waithe and span her around in her arms as they embraced. Tears filled both of their eyes, and as Monica placed Ruby back down they shared a relieved look.

Ruby then rushed to Hope, who had been standing behind Monica and Lizzie. She cupped the Mikealson's face before she crashed her lips into the tribrids. The pair broke apart, as Hope's eyes filled with tears. "I missed you so much." Hope managed to choke out, feeling relieved that this moment was really happening. Ruby pressed her forehead against Hope's, as it felt like everything finally made sense. "I love you so much, Hope." Ruby spoke softly.
