Soulmates. Eight letters that can completely change someone's life.

Some say that soulmates were created by the fates. They say that when you were created your soul was ripped in half and you spent your life trying to find your other half.

Others say soulmates were a gift from the goddess of life Aphrodite. That she gifted them to everyone wanting everyone to experience love and the power it had.

Everyone once did have soulmates, but as time went on people rejected their soulmate for different reasons.

Either they were already in an arranged marriage, parents disapproved, cheating, death, and so many more things broke up soulmates.

After that soulmates became less and less. There were the lucky and the unlucky. Some were still rejected though.

Soulmates were found with a simple touch. One touch and everything changed. That one touch where sparks appeared on your body and looking into their eyes it's as if your soul finally sighs in relief due to finding the part taken.

And every single time you touch those same sparks appear. But once you accept your soulmate they feel more. You feel each other's pain, happiness, lust, angry.

But to complete the soulmate bond you have to have sex, but if someone is supernatural there are more steps.

Vampires have to drink the blood of their mates.

Wolves have to mark their mate.

And witches have to cast a small spell.

Soulmates were something Hope has knew about since she was a kid. Her mom used to tell her stories and how one day Hope would meet hers.

They would adore every part of her. They would love the things she hated about herself. They would be her solider and her confidence. Her safe place and the one person she could want to throw out a window and love them at the same time.

Growing up Hope dreamed of meeting her soulmate. To experience the love her mom had with her uncle Elijah and her dad with her aunt Cami.

Although she knew meet the blonde her dad told her stories about her and how much he loved her. But Hope saw the pain in his eyes every time he spoke of Camille.

For soulmates feel each other's pain which means when Cami died her father felt it and for the next few years Klaus felt her missing from him.

Maybe that was the beginning of her hesitation due to her soulmates, but it grew after her parent's death. For if you never experience a soulmate you couldn't miss them. They couldn't die on her or leave her.

She was fine being alone. She was alone most of her life. While she had her mom for the first seven years of her life and then her aunt Freya along with her aunt and uncle over video chat Hope didn't have friends.

While at the Salvatore school, she was in her room most of the time. She painted and read books learning everything she could.

Whether it would be about history, spells, languages, or hell she even learned different things due to computer science. She had to do something with her free time.

Maybe all that lead her to here. In an apartment in Brooklyn, that her mom had for a safe house just in case, laying down in the bed staring at the ceiling waiting for her alarm to go off as the sun started to rise.

Hope was lucky she still had her ID and remembered the bank and account number for the bank account her parents set up for her.

Which had a key to the apartment she was now in and a bank account with enough money for a lifetime if she used it wisely.

It was now a month since her return and Hope was settling into her new life. Sort of.

She got some clothes since she only had like four outfits. Some groceries and signed up for school.

She promised her dad before his death she would go back and graduate. And even if she couldn't go back to the Salvatore school she could still graduate.

Hearing the familiar sound of her alarm Hope turns over turning it off before pausing and seeing the picture of her family on her night stand with a sigh she throws the covers off of her and gets up.

Heading towards her bathroom Hope turns on the water waiting for it to warm up as she pulls her hair up in a high bun.

With that, she removes her clothes and gets in the shower just to wash her face and body to wake up before her long first day.

Once done Hope begins getting dressed before doing her hair in soft curls. Once done Hope heads towards the kitchen/living her as she grabs a bagel and places it in the toaster before grabbing a water.

Once done eating Hope grab her bag that was by the door along with her keys. Staring at the mirror beside her door looking over her outfit for the day.

Which consists of black jeans with a long v-neck grey shirt and her black dock martins along with the three necklaces she never removes.

Nodding her head Hope grabs her water bottle before opening her front door and locking it before shutting it as she heads down the stairs and then towards Midtown High her new normal school.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Hope stood outside Midtown High throwing her water bottle in the trash Hope begins walking up the stairs towards the front ignoring the stares, but she stops hearing a whistle.

Looking towards who it was Hope sees what anyone would describe as a dick head making her roll her eyes as she continues walking muttering a small spell under her breath.

Side looking towards the guy Hope sees him trip making her chuckle slightly heading towards the doors and towards the office to get her timetable since all paperwork has been completed and her "parents" signed everything.

Walking towards the front desk Hope smiles kindly at the woman behind it.

"Hi, I'm Hope Marshall. I was told to come here to get my timetable," Hope tells the woman using the name she grew up with.

"Right Ms.Marshall here you go and a student will meet you to help escort you to class and answer any questions," the front desk woman tells Hope who nods grabbing the timetable and map.

"Thank you," Hope says as she walks out of the office looking at her timetable someone was running towards the office bumping into her making her fall down and the person as well.

"Oh! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to do that! I was running towards the office and didn't see you coming trying to get through. And once I did I tried to stop but it was too late! Oh, are you okay?!" The boy rambles looking wide-eyed as Hope just stares in shock.

"Uhm...I'm fine?" Hope questions more than states as the boy gets up and offers his hand out to her. With a small smile, Hope grabs his hand and stands up with her papers.

"I'm so sorry!" The boy tells her again as Hope chuckles slightly at him. He reminded Hope of a golden retriever.

"No harm no foul. It was my fault as well...," Hope trails out not knowing his name.

"Sorry! Parker Peter-no Peter Parker!" Peter tells Hope who nods her head at him.

"Hope Marshall," Hope tells him as Peter looks at her wide-eyed.

"I was actually rushing her to meet you. I was asked to show you around. I was trying to get here earlier but my alarm didn't go off or I slept through it, then couldn't find my left shoe, and then the train was late....sorry," Peter tells her as Hope laughs at him.

"I just got here so you're fine," Hope tells Peter who sighs in relief.

"Good. Uhm...can I see your timetable?" Peter questions making Hope nod as she hands it to him.

"We pretty much have the same schedule besides one class but my mate MJ has it so she can take you. Oh and your locker is beside mine I can show it to you and then we can head towards our first period," Peter tells Hope as they begin walking down the hallway.

"So did you just move to the city?" Peter asks Hope who looks towards him.

"Ooh yeah. I used to live in a small town," Hope tells Peter who nods as he shows Hope her locker before heading towards their first period.

Hope introduced herself to the teacher and goes to sit down in her seat. Peter goes to sit beside her but someone beats him to it making Hope look towards her right to see the same guy who catcalled her this morning making her inwardly roll her eyes at him.

"Hello, beautiful. I'm Flash," Flash says with a sickening grin making Hope just pause wondering why his parents hated him so much to name him Flash.

"I saw you with Penis Parker. You need a real man to show you around," Flash says as he places his hand on Hope's wrist who just pause looking down at it tensing.

"I could show you around instead," Flash says making Hope just scoff as she snatches her hand away from him.

"First of all, never touch me again. Second of all, I can choose who I hang out with. And third of all if you ever catcall me again or call him Penis Parker again I'll break your nose and then your little dick," Hope tells him with a sweet smile on her face.

Flash looks at her wide-eyed before jumping up and heading towards another seat Hope rolls her eyes looking towards the board as someone sits beside her again.

"I have never seen him so scared. What did you say to him?" Peter asks Hope who shrugs at him with a small smirk on her face.

"Just a few things," Hope tells him as Peter looks at her amazed while Hope begins writing down the notes on the board.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Hope and Peter walk into the lunch room with her heightened senses Hope could hear the students speaking about her making her sigh internally.

"Hope," Peter says calling her name making her look towards him only to see Peter now sitting down with a beautiful girl and some boy.

"Hope this is MJ my soulmate and my best friend Ned. Ned MJ this is Hope," Peter introduces as Hope smiles sitting down.

"You're the girl who made Flash run like a headless chicken right?" MJ questions Hope who nods her head.

"His parents must hate him why else name him Flash? Or does he finish everything in a flash?" Hope says smirking at MJ who laughs while Ned and Peter look confused.

"Oh, and he catcalled me this morning and thought it was alright to touch me without permission," Hope tells her shrugging as MJ looks at her.

"I like her," MJ says making Hope laugh at her words.
"He deserved it. The only thing I wished I did was trip him in front of the entire classroom," Hope says making MJ laugh.

"Definitely should have. Maybe trip in the cafeteria that way everyone can see," MJ says making Hope nod.

"I love that idea," Hope says with a smirk as MJ nods while Peter and Ned share a look worriedly.

"So Hope have you met your soulmate or soulmates yet?" Ned asks Hope making her look at him wide-eyed.

"Ned!" Peter yells hitting his arm as Ned just looks at Hope apologetically.

"Sorry," Ned tells Hope who shakes her head at him.
"It's fine and no I haven't," Hope tells Ned who smiles at her.

"Well good. Now I won't be a third wheel to these two," Ned says pointing to MJ and Peter who blushes slightly while Hope laughs smiling at the three.

"Sounds like a plan," Hope tells Ned as she shakes her head. Maybe Midtown High won't be that bad. Well as long Flash left her alone and if he didn't well she was a Mikaelson.
