━ she wears fire for skin but a storm lives in her soul.━ Hope looked down at the blood covering her hands. "No ..." She breathed shakily, her eyes still focused upon the crimson color covering both of her hands, making her heart drop to her stomach. It didn't feel real at first. The fact that she had taken a life. It felt as though it was a part of some terrible nightmare but it was reality. She was sure of it. The man had tried to kill her, murmuring something about there being a hefty bounty locked on her head. At first, she thought he was just an ill man who wasn't even sure what was coming out of his mouth, but when she saw the shine of the dagger in his grip, she realized that he was not talking nonsense. He actually intended on killing her.
Hope knew that if some people learned about her being some freak of nature, they would seek to harm her. She was also aware of the fact that her family had so many enemies, so threats were most likely scattered on her left and right. Hope didn't beg for mercy. Didn't back down from the fight because she knew that she was a powerful witch. She had practiced day and night to make her family proud. She even knew how to fight without the use of her magic. She didn't want to be some dead weight on her family's shoulders. A girl they would need to protect and look after day and night to make sure she came home alive.
But even then, nothing could ever prepare her for the moment she managed to turn the knife to the man and without a word, the knife pierced through his chest and blood started oozing from the wound almost right away, leaving her with a sickening feeling in her stomach. Hope ran her fingers through her messy hair, tears gathering in her eyes as panic began to eat up her insides. The first break of a bone tore a pained scream from the tribrid. She was shifting... She had triggered her werewolf side and due to the life she had just taken, her eyes were glowing bright blue. Hope managed to reach into her pocket while her bones were still breaking, each time, her screams rung in the woods. "Dad...' She breathed, trying to dial her dad's number but another bone breaking made her lose her grip on the device.
She had never felt so scared before and it was starting to overwhelm her, making it feel like the torturous break of her bones was dragging on for so long. Made her feel as though it was never going to end and it made tears fall from her eyes. She never wanted to go through that pain alone. She had always wanted to go through it with her dad and mom. Having them close would help her so much but she had no one. No one other than the dead body of the hunter not too far away from her. "Please...' She whispered to no one in particular, her hands shaking a little and in a moment, another bone of hers was breaking and healing in the same breath which only made the pain feel so much worse, tearing yet another scream from her lungs.

For the first time since his parents died things seemed to be going well for Raf and he knew that he wanted it to stay that way for as long as possible. Cassie was dead, he had lost his temper and accidentally killed her while they were on their way home, and his life had been turned upside down that day. Nothing good should have come out of it but he’d found a home at the Salvatore School, a place where he could be himself without having to worry about getting on the wrong side of an abusive foster parent but he still wasn’t sure whether Lan would be able to stay. That uncertainty had been weighing on him a lot lately but now they at least had the summer to figure out what his brother was so that they could both get to stay at the school. The alternative was returning to Mystic Falls High and while that wouldn’t be a bad thing for Raf he knew that it wouldn’t be the same for Lan and he wanted to spare the other boy from going through that if he could. They also couldn’t return to Hector and Maria’s place, not when the two of them had taken him to see a Pastor so that they could get the guy to perform an exorcism on him, and the truth was that they didn’t have anywhere else to go so Raf knew that if they could stay at the school then it would make life a lot easier for both of them. Right now Raf knew that he couldn’t afford to be thinking about that though, it was the night of the full moon and he knew that he had to head out into the woods so that he stood a better chance at not hurting anyone after he transformed. Raf had already taken one life accidentally and he knew that the last thing he wanted was to end up with any more blood on his hands. He still wasn’t entirely sure what he was doing, he knew that he could have reached out to some of the other werewolves at the Salvatore School but some of them had seemed like jerks and the truth was that Raf had dealt with enough of those over the years so right now he couldn’t help but feel like he was better off on his own. He had hoped to get back to the school before the sun set but he had lost track of time so he’d had to settle for heading into the woods on the outskirts of town instead. He had at least thankfully taken a bag with him so he could leave his clothes somewhere safe ready for when he changed back and he was just about to start getting ready when he heard a scream coming from nearby, a scream that made his blood run cold. Raf had been through the change before so he knew what to expect but the voice was one that he would recognise anywhere. It was enough to make him sling the bag over his shoulder take off at a run in the direction that the scream had come from. He had hoped that he was wrong and that it wasn’t really Hope that he had heard but soon enough his gaze came to rest on her and his heart sank as he skidded to a halt next to her and dropped to his knees. “Hope, it’s me. You’re going to be ok,” he assured her. “I know this isn’t easy but you need to let the change happen. Don’t fight it, it will only make it worse,” he said, hoping that she would heed his words. He had fought the change the first time around and it had hurt like hell, worse than any of the changes since then when he hadn’t fought it, and he knew that he didn’t want that for Hope. “What happened?” he asked, pretty sure that she would have told him if she had triggered her curse before tonight.

━ she wears fire for skin but a storm lives in her soul.━ Hope wanted to reach out for her phone again to try calling her dad again but with every second passing, there was a new bone breaking and then snapping back into place all over again, making it hard for her to even move an inch. Was she really going to go through this pain alone? If so, then she didn't want to... She didn't want to! Hope clenched her eyes shut as more tears slid down her cheeks, leaving behind a wet trail on both cheeks. There was nothing but pain, pain, pain. She couldn't even focus on her own breathing and that was why it was starting to speed up all over again, making her feel like her chest was burning. Her screams rung in the woods and in her ears, too, her throat burning with every loud scream falling from her lips.
Hope, it’s me. You’re going to be ok, I know this isn’t easy but you need to let the change happen. Don’t fight it, it will only make it worse,
But everything changed when she heard a familiar voice which had her lifting her head, her panicked blue eyes settling on Rafael's face. "Rafael?" She barely managed to squeeze out his name before another bone broke and healed back into rightful place, tearing a growl from the young Mikaelson's lips, the leaves under her palm crunching when she clenched her first. "I can't... I c-can't." Hope could feel fresh tears roll down her cheeks, the pain making her feel as though the minutes that passed were years, no less. "It hurts s-so bad." And it was the truth. The overwhelming pain of having your bones broken and then snapping back into place was enough to drive anyone into tears and Hope was no different. She'd always wanted to appear strong, but in that moment, all guards were torn down, leaving behind a vulnerable and scared sixteen-year-old. But, at least, she wasn't alone anymore...
What happened?
Hope's eyes lifted to settle on Rafael when she heard his question. Her eyes slowly moved from him to look over his shoulder at the deceased body of a hunter on the ground. "I━ I was attacked. He mentioned something about..." There was a pause that she didn't prepare for and it was all due to the painful sensation of her bones breaking again. "There being a━ a bounty on my head. Then he tried to kill me... I didn't mean to kill him, Raf. I didn't mean to kill him..."

Full moons were something that Raf had come to dread ever since the accident that had left Cassie dead and him with a triggered werewolf curse to deal with and in a way he did still dread them, or the pain of the transformation at least. That wasn’t something that he was sure that he would ever truly get used to but as the months went on it did get a little easier and the end result, at least, was worth it. There was nothing quite like being able to run as a wolf during the full moon but he would be lying if he said that he didn’t still wish that it could have happened some other way. He hadn’t wanted to take Cassie’s life, he had always had a temper and that night he had ended up losing it over something stupid. He had taken a corner too fast, one that she had told him to slow down for so many times before, but he had let his anger and overconfidence take control and it had cost Cassie her life. He could never take that back so in a way he couldn’t help but feel like perhaps the pain of the transformation and the fact that he could no longer stay with Hector and Maria was the price that he had to pay for that but something good had come of it at least – he had finally found a home and people who were like him. It hadn’t ended up so badly for him but Raf still wouldn’t want anyone else to have to go through that pain. He had learned what Hope was pretty quickly after he’d arrived at the Salvatore School and even though he hadn’t necessarily known all of the details about how it would all work he had known enough and he hadn’t wanted this for her. She already had so much to deal with without adding this to the mix as well but it was done now and he knew that nothing could be done to change it anyway so all he could do was be there for her and help her as best he could. “Yeah, it’s me,” he nodded as she said his name. Seeing her in tears was enough to make his heart ache but that wasn’t what she needed right now. She needed him to be strong for her and help her through this the same way that he wished that someone had been there to help him during his first full moon so he knew that he needed to push everything else aside. “Hope, listen to me. I know it hurts but you’re one of the strongest people I know. You can do this,” he assured her, hoping that she would believe him. “The first transformation is the worst, it’ll start getting easier once you get through this one,” he added. It would take time but it definitely got a little easier with time and he knew that it wouldn’t be any different for Hope. As his gaze came to rest on the dead hunter, Raf couldn’t deny that he was surprised as Hope explained what had happened. “That’s sick, why would anyone do that?” he breathed. Some people were just like that though, they did awful things for no reason and that was something that he had seen firsthand. Turning his attention back to Hope, Raf took her hand in his and gave it a gentle squeeze. “I know you didn’t, you would never hurt anyone,” he assured her. Hope’s heart was pure, she would never do something like that intentionally and he knew that. “Don’t worry, I’ll cover him over for now and in the morning we’ll call Dr Saltzman. He’ll know what to do.”HOPE MIKAELSON

━ she wears fire for skin but a storm lives in her soul.━ Hope had never felt anything like this before. This pain was the worst feeling she’d ever experienced and it left her feeling like every bone in her body was being broken and twisted and she had no other option but to go through it. ”I don’t want this…” Hope breathed out as she closed her eyes tightly as her back snapped then healed back into place, tearing a scream from Hope’s lips. She didn’t expect for Rafael to be here when she opened her eyes though and her surprise was evident on her expression momentarily before it was quickly replaced by pain as her arm bent at an awkward angle when the bone broke abruptly before it healed back into place. Hope sniffed and blinked past the tears covering her vision as she listened to Rafael tell her that she was one of the strongest people he knew. ”I…” Hope trailed off with a shaky breath before she gritted her teeth to hold back a scream which instead turned into a grunt. ”I don’t feel very strong right now, R-Raf…” But hearing him say that helped her, though. Helped her focus on something else other than the breaking and healing of her own bones.
”I’m trying… I’m really trying but it hurts s-so much, Raf.” Her dad had told her a couple of times about how freeing it actually was to turn into a wolf and roam free in the woods, how great it felt to run between the trees and feel the wind against the fur of her wolf form, but she couldn’t help it, she couldn’t help her screams or the way her body curled into itself in agony. ”I d--don’t know. It was for a lot of money, apparently. He showed me the list for a m-moment… You can see it if you look at his left pocket.” Hope breathed out with a wince of pain following as her fingers snapped and healed back into place again.
Hope’s eyes slowly lifted up to look at Rafael when he assured her that she’d never hurt anyone as her lips stretched to form a hesitant smile. ”T..Thank you.” Her words of gratitude were interrupted when another bone in her body broke abruptly. ”O--Okay. Yeah.” Hope really wanted to call her parents, to tell them what had happened but she could barely hold back right now and she didn’t want them to worry about her, especially when they hear her scream like this. ”Please stay with me… When we turn, I mean. I don’t wanna be alone.” It was just all so new to her and she worried she might lose control or anything like that, so having Rafael with her every step of the way definitely helped her in a lot of ways, it helped her ease the storm that was raging in her mind right now.

Raf could still remember just how scared he was when he first shifted as though it had happened yesterday. He hadn’t known anything about the supernatural world before that and he was still grieving the loss of Cassie. He hadn’t known what was going on when his bones had started breaking and his body had started changing and he’d had no choice but to try and figure it all out. There wasn’t anyone who could guide him through it and he had been so worried that he would end up hurting someone but thankfully that hadn’t happened and for that he was truly grateful. Hope had been honest with him about what she was from the start and the truth was that it had never mattered to him. He knew that there were some who might be intimidated by the fact that she was a Mikaelson or because she was the only tribrid in the world but Raf wasn’t like that. She had become a good friend to him, one of his best friends in fact, and now he could see how scared she was and he knew that he wasn’t going anywhere. Soon enough his own shift would begin but the first time always took the longest and that meant that he could help Hope before he had to worry about that. “Believe me, I know,” Raf assured her as she said that she didn’t want this. He hadn’t wanted it either but it had still happened and it was something that he’d had to learn to live with. He hadn’t wanted this for Hope but nothing could change it now that she had triggered her curse so he knew that all he could do was help her as much as he could. “Maybe not but that’s ok. You’re going to get through this, I know you are,” he promised. All she could do was try not to fight it because if she did then it would end up being that much worse. “The first time is always the worst, it will get easier,” he said even though he knew that that wouldn’t be much comfort to her right now. The pain never completely went away from what he had heard but it did start to lessen the more one of them shifted and so far it had definitely been that way for him. As Hope said that the man had showed her the list, Raf reached down and grabbed it from the man’s pocket. Unfolding it, he let his gaze sweep over the names on the list. “There are so many names here,” he breathed. A lot of people in the town were on it including some they went to school with. “Who could be doing this?” he asked, glancing over the list one more time before slipping it into his own pocket for safe keeping. That was something they could try and figure out later, for now he knew that he needed to focus on Hope. Covering the body over, he nodded as she asked him to stay with her. “Of course I will, I’m not going anywhere.” Hope had never turned her back on him and he knew that he wasn’t going to do that to her either.

━ she wears fire for skin but a storm lives in her soul.━ Maybe not but that’s ok. You’re going to get through this, I know you are, The first time is always the worst, it will get easier,
Hope nodded her head a few times, believing Rafael's words. It did feel really painful but a part of her knew that it will pass and it will be like her father had explained. A whole new sense of freedom. She trusted them more than anything in the world. With a shaky breath, she closed her eyes and forced herself to relax, to focus on that positive thought in the back of her mind telling her that everything was going to be okay. Everything's going to be. I'm gonna be okay. I'm not here alone. I have Rafael here with me. She repeated again and again in her head until she actually began feeling herself relax. She bit down on her bottom lip to stifle another scream when her spine snapped then healed again with a sickening pop. "Yeah, just... gotta get through this." Hope breathed out, her eyes filling with tears but she didn't shed them. Not again, at least.
There are so many names here, Who could be doing this? Of course I will, I’m not going anywhere.
Hope lifted her head when she heard Rafael's words. She lifted her hand to brush a messy strand of hair away from her face, bringing her full attention to her friend. "Yeah..." She replied with a grim expression, remembering how the page was just full of names and sickeningly enough, some were checked out. "Someone seriously s..." Hope groaned in pain when another bone broke and then healed back again. "Sick." She concluded, her eyes filled with fury for a moment but then her eyes moved to the dead man on the ground and her heart sank. Even though it was done in self-defense, killing him didn't feel good and she doubted that taking a life would ever feel good. He wanted to kill her first and he was going to do it, so she should feel no remorse or guilt but those feelings were definitely circling through her at the moment before she forcibly tore her eyes away from her attacker to look at Rafael when he brought his attention back to her, his words pulling a shaky smile to her lips. "Th━Thank you." Hope breathed out. More whimpers of pain escaped Hope's lips as her bones continued snapping and healing until the pain became too unbearable as a scream fell from her lips which turned half-way into a roar as her eyes started glowing bright blue, her body changing rapidly into her wolf form, fur appearing on her hands and her face changing into something animalistic before she finally transformed into a beautiful white wolf.
She'd done it.
There was no more pain.
She felt so free. She truly felt like she could conquer the world and grasp it in the palm of her hand. It felt so ... liberating. Hope's blue eyes settled on Rafael, waiting for him before she turned and started sprinting into the woods, wanting to run with her best friend because her dad had described this moment as truly a one-of-a-kind experience and she was more than excited to try that out with her friend.

Raf knew that he would never forget his first full moon after he’d triggered his curse, he hadn’t known anything about werewolves or the supernatural until every bone in his body began to break. He knew that he was lucky that he hadn’t ended up hurting anyone that night and every night since then he had managed to get lucky. He had heard about anchors keeping werewolves tethered to their humanity even after they shifted and he had been using his brother as his anchor but he knew that for most people that usually shifted to someone else when they fell in love while others found a way to become their own anchor. Raf knew that it really didn’t matter, as long as he was able to stay in control and make sure that he didn’t hurt anyone that was all that mattered to him and he had a feeling that Hope would feel the same. “You can do this, I know you can,” Raf assured her. The first time was definitely the worst, it was the transformation that took the longest and it was the one that started it all but Hope was stronger than anyone that he had ever met so he knew that she would get through it, he didn’t doubt it. which turned half-way into a roar as her eyes started glowing bright blue, her body changing rapidly into her wolf form, fur appearing on her hands and her face changing into something animalistic before she finally transformed into a beautiful white wolf. He still couldn’t believe that someone had attacked Hope and tried to kill her, he knew that she was the only one of her kind and that was sure to scare some people but she was an incredible person and he knew that she didn’t want to hurt anyone. The fact that she’d had no choice but to take a life in order to save her own was something that he had never wanted for her but he knew that he would be there to help her through it the same way that she had been there to help him. “It is. I’ll keep this safe, we’ll look into this once we get through this,” he said, tucking the list into the pocket of his jeans as he started to help her through the transformation. “You have nothing to thank me for, I’m always going to be here for you,” he assured her. She had been helping him ever since he had first arrived at the school so he knew that it really was the least he could do. He did his best to help her and finally it was all over and Hope was in her wolf form. It was only then that Raf felt his own transformation starting and he quickly pulled off his clothes, leaving them in a pile so that he could return for them in the morning. He had others that he had left around the woods but he knew that he needed to keep the list of names safe so that they could look into them and this was the best way of doing that. It was agony as his own transformation took hold but unlike Hope he had at least been through it before. As it was it took a while but finally he was in his own wolf form and he was pleased to see that Hope had waited for him. Nudging his head against her, he waited for Hope to take the lead before following suit and together they started to run through the woods, the feeling of being free unlike anything that could be experienced while human.
