SALVATORE SCHOOL - LIBRARY - NIGHT
[Landon stares at the collection of artifacts, the volumes of supernatural history. There’s an ornate knife in a glass case that catches his eye. He studies it. Reaches for it.]
Hope: (O.S.) Don’t touch that.
[He leaps back, startled. Hope has entered the room, dressed.]
Landon: Sorry -- I didn’t -- I mean, I wasn’t -- where are we?
Hope: The Stefan Salvatore Memorial Library. All the artifacts in here have a supernatural history.
"What does he mean memorial?" Said Damon.
"No, no, this can't be true!" Said Caroline. Klaus looks heartbroken about his old friend's death.
"I'm... i'm dead." Said shocked Stefan.
"No, this stupid thing is lying!" Yelled  Damon.
"I'm sorry. He died while saving Mystic Falls. He died a hero." Said Hope. Stefan smiled at that.
"Of course he did!" Scoffed Damon.
"You aren't doing it again!" Said Damon.
"Careful Damon or i might think you care." Teased Stefan.
"How did it happen?" Asked Caroline. Hope and Audrey explained everything about armory, Rayna Cruz, Bonnie, Sirens, Cade, wedding, Kathrine... Everything. Stefan and Caroline cried while listening, so did Damon, who was trying to hold it back, but couldn't. How could he not cry? His little brother died saving him. Of course, he did. That's what he always do.
Landon: What’s the story on this one?
Hope: No idea. But in my experience, your safest bet is not to touch it.
Landon: Noted.
Hope: Sorry about earlier. You shouldn’t have been out there.
Landon: I’ll file that under things that seem really obvious after the fact. (then) So... I guess this means that you’re a werewolf.
Hope: I’m...a lot of things.
Landon: Care to elaborate?
Hope: They’re just gonna make you forget it tomorrow --
Landon: Come on. Humor me.
SALVATORE SCHOOL - KITCHEN - NIGHT
[MG rummages in the fridge. Penelope Park nearby.]
"Boo! Go back to Hope!" Protested Kol.
MG: I need food. I have the munchies.
Penelope Park: I can help you with that -- [She tilts her neck, exposing it to him. Tempting him. He eyes her, drawn to her neck... the sight of her vein.]
"Witch offering her neck to vampire... everything can happen." Said Klaus.
MG: We’ll get in trouble --
"And vampire refusing. Is it normal in that school?" Asked Elijah.
"Depends. There are goody two shoes who are always following rules like MG, but i believe the most of them wouldn't refuse." Said Audrey.
Penelope Park: I know. [He hesitates. She exhales, irritated.]
Penelope Park: Seriously? I’m offering to rock your world right now.
MG: For one, we’re not supposed to. For two, last I checked you were more into girls, and for three --
"He knows his rules." Said Kol.
"Boring!" Said Damon.
Penelope Park: -- nobody asked you to bring math into this conversation --
MG: You know what I mean.
Penelope Park: (sigh) For one, rules are made to be broken. For two, I’m an equal opportunity evil temptress and your binary assumptions about sexuality are dated. For three, I don’t know what your three was, but do you want to suck me dry or not?
"That's why i like her. She has got a fire. If i was into girls, she would be my first choice." Said Audrey. Klaus looks happy he has to keep only boys away.
"What about you?" Asked Klaus to Hope.
"I'm Bi." Said Hope.
"Twice the job!" groaned Klaus. People looked at Klaus amused.
"That was your exact reaction first time i told you." Laughed Hope.
[MG can't resist. And just like that, they’re kissing. It gets hot and heavy. MG’s eyes flare with bloodthirst. He opens his mouth, revealing fangs. He’s about to bite into her, when -- Josie enters and they quickly separate. Hurt, she hurriedly exits. Penelope grins wickedly.]
"She reminds me of Kathrine." Said Damon. Stefan agreed.
"How dares she?!" Glared Caroline and then looked at Josie worried.
SALVATORE SCHOOL - LIBRARY - NIGHT
[Hope has a stack of bound books out.]
Hope: The blood that runs through my veins isn’t human. My dad was one of the earth’s Original Vampires.
Mikaelsons look heartbroken at reminder. Surprisingly, so do Caroline and Stefan.
Landon: Was?
Hope: Was. Turns out even immortal beings can find a way to die eventually. [She points to a book. History of Mystic Falls, Volume 3: The Originals.]
Landon: (reads a chapter heading)
Klaus Mikaelson: The Great Evil.
"Should that book really be around...?" Said Davina and glanced at Hope and Audrey.
"Dad is big part of history. They can't just take it out of programm." Said Audrey.
"Even if we aren't happy about it. I burned the library first time i saw that book. That's why i'm not allowed there." Said Hope. Mikaelsons look sad at that, they know it can't be avoided.
Hope: He wasn’t very popular around here.
Landon: One of my foster dads used to burn us with a hot poker. Evil is relative. [Landon and Hope don't notice Audrey enter.]
Audrey: He wasn't like that. [Hope and Landon turn to her.]
Audrey: He was the best father. He might have been villain in thousands of people's lives, but in ours he was always the hero.
Klaus smiles. Elijah looks proud of his brother. Audrey kisses Klaus's cheek.
Hope: I thought you were on a party.
Audrey: I was. Don't let me interrupt. Continue.
Hope: Our mom...was a werewolf alpha.
Landon: There’s that ‘was’ again.
Hope: (simple) The people I care about have a tendency to die on me.
"My sweet girls.." said Hayley and kissed Hope's head and reached over to touch Audrey's hand.
"I'm so sorry." Said Hayley.
"It's okay. It's not like you wanted to die." Said Audrey.
"Just... don't die this time, okay?" Said Hope. Hayley nods.
"I won't." Said Hayley
[He meets her eyes. Takes a step towards her. Audrey watches Landon with her arms crossed.]
Mikaelson men watch protectivly, too.
Landon: Your life’s almost worse than mine.
Hope: It’s had its ups and downs. (finding her words) I try not to get close to anyone anymore.
Landon: I can see that. You’ve managed to back yourself into a corner.
[She realizes she’s been slowly distancing herself. This flusters her a little. Audrey interrupts their moment.]
Audrey: Our grandmother was a witch. A lot of that stuff is passed down, so we are...
Landon: A unicorn?
Audrey: (glares) I don't like being interrupted!
"You have your father's temper." Said Freya.
Hope: We are hybrids of three different creatures. A tri-brid. We can control when we turn. That’s what I was doing tonight. [Audrey looks at her worried.]
Hope: Sometimes, all the magic coursing through my body can take a bad turn and cloud my head. So I embrace the other side of me as a way to let it out.
Landon: I’ve been here too long. This is starting to sound weirdly normal.
Hope: We are the only one of our kind.
Landon: See? Unicorn. [She finally smiles. Relieved to have it all off her chest.]
Audrey: Now story time is over. It's late. Come on, Landon, i'll get you back in dungeon!
Hope: I can--
Audrey: Unless you want Alaric knowing you were in here, go. [Hope glares at her, but leaves.]
Hope glares at her again.
[After Hope is out of earshot, Audrey turns to Landon.]
Audrey: Landon, honestly, I looked up information about you and i couldn't find much. I don't know who you are. But i know my sister. I know she likes you. [Landon looks taken aback. Audrey brings dagger to Landon's throat. Landon looks panicked.]
"What are you doing?!" Asked Davina.
"Isn't it obvious? Devil's spawn is taking after..." said Damon, but got interupted by Audrey giving him migrane.
"Does that thing ever shut up?" Said Audrey.
"Audrey, what is that?" Asked Hope.
"You will see." Said Audrey.
Landon: What are you-- [Audrey waves her hand and that makes Landon silent.]
Audrey: Now i don't know what your intentions are for my sister or why you can't be compelled when you don't smell of vervain, but know one thing. There is nothing i wouldn't do for my sister. NOTHING. She is my everything and If you hurt her in any way, be sure that i will destroy not only you, but everything you love, darling! [Audrey makes cut on Landon's neck. Landon looks terrified, but can't say anything. He can't run either because Audrey is holding him with one hand.]
Klaus smiles at how protective of her sister is, but is worried she will end up like him.
"She is scary." Said Marcel.
"Thank you, broncle." Said Audrey.
"Broncle?" Asked Marcel confused.
"Brother uncle." Explained Audrey with 'duh' voice. Marcel shook his head.
Audrey: I won't kill you. That's too easy. I'll make you beg for death. I'll tear your soul out and rip it in thousand peaces. You want to be part of supernatural world? Rule number 1: Never mess with a Mikaelson!
"She is definetly Mikaelson." Said Marcel.
"That was awesome." Said Kol.
"Thanks, Uncle Kol." Said Audrey.
"Don't encourage that!" Said Hayley to Kol.
"Oh come on! I just gave him a little warning." Said Audrey.
"Little warning?!" Said Hope angrily.
"Yes, i didn't even hurt him. I just scratched his neck a little to make a point." Said Audrey. Hope rolls her eyes at Audrey.
[Audrey takes dagger off of Landon and takes the spell off him.]
Audrey: Do you understand, love? [Landon nods hurriedly.]
Audrey: Speak up!
Landon: Yes. Yes. I - i understand.
Audrey: My sister won't find out about this talk! [Landon nodds scared.]
Hope glared at Audrey.
"Don't look at me like that! He was suspicious and you were blinded by feelings! I had to do something!" Defended Audrey.
