hope had been in this place for too long. it wasn't limbo, no matter how much she would have rather it been. at first, she almost thought it could have been limbo, but the look was off and no one she knew was here -- which should have been her first indication. but, finally she saw someone who she recognized and let out a breath of relief as she made her way toward her, "aunt beks. you will not believe what i have to tell you."

"oh, how is it possible?" hope replied with a slight shrug of her shoulders. should she really explain her entire lineage to rebekah when rebekah seemed to not remember any of this while she was standing in front of her. or maybe it could help her understand and jog whatever memory was missing. she shrugged her shoulders. "do i really need to explain the, uh, birds and the bees or whatever it is they call it to you?" the tribrid asked. "i thought me calling you aunt was pretty obvious, but maybe i could draw you a clearer picture."

⊹  —  “  i  ‘suppose  that  makes  sense,  ”  though  as  rebekah  spoke,  her  eyes  couldn’t  leave  the  other's  direction,  feeling  some  sort  of  tether  to  the  girl.  it  was  stranger,  so,  yes  —  there  was,  in  fact,  waves  of  confusion  colliding  within  her  thoughts.  “  hope  mikaelson,  hm,  ”  she  repeated,  as  arms  crossed  against  her  front,  desperately  trying  to  place  the  girl.  “  how  can  that  be  ?  ”  being  an  aunt  was  an  impossible  feat.  they  could  not  produce  offspring,  so  it  was  out  of  the  question  to  have  a  distant  relative.  was  it  just  an  odd  coincidence  ?  the  questions  soon  began  to  annoy  the  original.  “  you  know  me.  how  ?  ”

she quickly froze at rebekah's comment, biting her cheek and looking at the woman. no. that certainly was rebekah mikaelson standing before her. but why did her aunt not know who she was? "well, because it gets tiring just referring to my aunts and uncles as hey you over there." she shook her head with a sigh and looked at the other. "sorry, you just look a lot like my aunt. i guess you're...not though." she replied, deflating as she looked at rebekah. "i'm hope mikaelson, sorry for the confusion."

out and about, rebekah really wanted to be alone. the night before had been a bit of a rager, the bar being her close friend. and, recently? her only friend, other than her human bloodbags. things were odd lately, as if the town just felt unlike home and she didn't understand it. the sudden stop in her tracks was enough to cause a roll of her eyes, though it seemed like the younger girl knew her. the town was becoming strange. "aunt beks? that's horrible. why would you call anyone that?"
