Chapter Text
Landon Pov
In the Triad base
I wake as every day very early in the morning for training some time alone before all the other soldiers in the base wake up. After doing it, I have the tactical training with the rest of the soldiers. As its usual it ends up with someone trying to fight me.
“Let us see if you are as strong as they say” a new soldier says behind me. Then he attacks from behind. When he is going to punch me, I turn around and catch his fist easily. For giving a lesson to the other soldiers, I twist his arm until it breaks and throw him to the floor.
“Anyone more wants to try?” I shout hoping for some action, but everyone stays in silence. After some second of looking at the group of soldiers I leave to the dining room to eat. While I’m on the way I hear others soldiers say
“It’s not fair he isn’t human”
“We should kill him not work with him”
When I get to the dining room, I take the food and sit alone as the majority of the other soldiers hate me for being supernatural, the enemy. After eating I go to a reunion where they will explain the next plan for capturing supernaturals. I have heard rumors that it will be a very important one, so I go early to get a good sit. Sometime after I get there, the commander of the base starts the presentation:
“The objective of tomorrow will be the most important that we will ever have, Hope Mikaelson. She is a tribid, a combination of vampire, werewolf and witch. Also, she is the daughter of Klaus Mikaelson the most prolific supernatural killer. We have an inside information that she will be in New Orleans in the afternoon of tomorrow in the Rousseau’s bar. The team for the mission will be led by Landon and nine volunteers.”
At hearing this I get excited as we will finally have a mission that seems a challenge as the last ones were just young vampires or werewolves. When the meeting finishes the commander calls me “If you complete this mission you will be free and we will give you all the information we know about your origins.”
“I won’t fail, so be prepared” I answer confident before leaving to my room.
When I get there, I eat something and prepare a bath. I get inside and proceed to drown myself as most days. I don’t know why but while I’m dead it’s the only moment I feel some type of happiness, so since I died the first time I keep doing it daily. As always when I resurrect in flames, I just remember glimpses of a dream with a young beautiful girl with amazing blue eyes that end with her saying “Landon I love you”.
I go to sleep early to be rested for tomorrow. The day when I will finally earn my freedom and information about my family. The only thing that is in the way of my life wish is Hope Mikaelson.
The next day
I wake up early and get prepared for the mission. I meet the other members of the squad and see how they look at me with contempt, but I am used to it. We review the plan and it seems easy, enter the bar and capture her but I have the feeling that it won’t be.
We get into the vehicle and start the travel lo New Orleans.
Hope Pov
I know I shouldn’t come to New Orleans and specially to the Rousseau’s bar. Every faction in New Orleans hates or fears me and the Army of Triad Industries is searching for me since the last encounter when I killed the group of twenty soldiers they sent. But I don’t care, I am the most powerful supernatural and always ready for a fight.
I enter the bar with a group of five hybrids that I have just created for bothering the vampires and werewolves of the city. I sit down where I used to eat with my mom and get emotional remembering the happier times before my parents die. Unlike everyone thinks I didn’t shut down my humanity when I transitioned, I just don’t care anymore. So, I cut every contact with my family and the School before they died like all the people I cared for.

When we enter the bar, we find five medium age men sitting in the bar and a young girl. She gets up and makes eye contact with me. She is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen, and I don’t know why but she seems familiar. After some seconds of staring at each other, one of the men in the bar interrupts “What do you want?”
Finally, I react and answer “We are searching for Hope Mikaelson. We have an order to detain her”
“I am Hope Mikaelson. You can try, but it won’t end up well for you” the girl says.
At hearing those words, I can’t help himself but be surprised that the evil tribid was this girl. Before I react or say anything one of the soldiers shoot Hope, but she easily catches the bullet and says, “you shouldn’t have done that”.
After she moves her hands and throws the soldiers guns to the air. Then she vamps speed towards them and extract the heart of two of them before they can react. The seven soldiers left try to fight her but she easily break the neck of other four soldier with magic. For the three soldiers left she takes her time and feed on them. Meanwhile everything was happening I couldn’t react I was too amazed by what I was seeing.
After she ends feeding on them, she vamps speed in front of me and says “If you don’t want to be the dessert, leave now” while she cleans the blood of her lips.
I should be scared or worry after what she has just done but the only thing, I can think is how sexy that was. I try to not show any emotion and answer “With me, it won’t be so easy”
Then one of the men on the bar vamps speed towards me but I stop him easily catching his neck and then extracting his heart with the other hand.
“As I said, it won’t be so easy” I add after doing it with a smile.
Then the other four guys vamp speed towards me. Before they get to me, I throw fire, burning two of them. I catch another and throw him to the wall before the last one gets to me. When he does it, I cut his head with a punch.
When I kill the last one, she says “You must be Landon Kirby.”
“How do you know?” I ask surprised.
“There aren’t many triad soldiers that are supernatural. I have heard things about your special abilities and in particular that you are immortal.” Hope explains
“You can try to see it” I answer trying to sound confident.
“Then I will have a little fun.” She adds smiling.
Then she vamps speed towards me much faster than the others and I am able to barely stop her. She keeps throwing hits at an impressive speed that make me back off until I hit will the wall.
“At least you hold for a bit” She says before she tries to finish me with a punch, but I avoid it and throw her to floor with a low kick. While she is getting up, I attack her, but she is able to block me. Then we start exchanging hits, but she is winning again and the fact that I can’t stop looking at her eyes that, for some reason, are too known for me doesn’t help in concentrating. She is pushing me again against the wall but this time I throw fire to her left as a distraction and push her to the floor by his right.
“So, you are using your tricks” She says before throwing me to the floor with magic but I land on top of her.
We keep staring at each other with our faces at centimeters and I feel an estrange connection with this girl. Then I look at her lips and surprisingly I have an extreme desire of kissing her but before I can react, I feel like someone from behind breaks my neck.
Hope Pov
After he throws me to the floor using his fire as a distraction, I do the same with magic, but he lands over me. We stare at other with our faces to close and I feel something special just looking at him. Then l start looking at his lips and feel a desire of kissing him but suddenly someone breaks his neck.
“What are you doing?” I shout enraged at the hybrid that has done it but before he can say anything, I extract his heart with magic. I don’t know why, but his act has made me really mad. It must be because I was having fun fighting him no? It can’t be other thing…
I look at his lifeless body and feel a concern about him really being immortal. I take his body and vamp speed to a house in the outside of the city before more soldiers come.
When I get inside, I do a boundary spell and put his body inside just hoping that he will come back.
Sometime later Landon’s body get in flames and when they finish he wakes up.
“Where I am?” he asks confused.
“Somewhere near New Orleans. I moved you here so they couldn’t find us as I have some questions.” I answer
“If you are going to ask about what I am or where I come from, I have the same idea as you, none” he says.
“How do you have no idea of what you are?” I ask surprised by the fact.
“As you have noticed I’m not like the habitual supernatural so it no so easy” he adds annoyed.
“Then, if you are supernatural, why do you work for Triad?” I continue asking.
“Is not that simple. I was raised by them, so they are the only ones that have information about my origin. This was going to be the last mission, I was going to finally be free.” Landon explains.
“Oh, sorry for not letting that you capture me” I say ironically.
“That wasn’t what I meant, clearly you aren’t the evil tribid that they told us. Believe me when I say that I don’t enjoy this work, but I was raised for it” Landon adds trying to apologize.
“You weren’t wrong, I am the evil tribid. What I don’t understand is why they only sent ten men when the last time I killed more than twenty” I ask.
“Maybe the just wanted to get rid of me as clearly you are able to do it” Landon says.
“For being with them all your life, you don’t have many answers. I will come back later” I tell him before leaving.

After Hope leaves, I keep thinking about what she said. Why if she was such an important objective, they sent just a group of ten soldiers. Finally, everything makes sense, they wanted to use me as bait for her. She would want to know what type of supernatural I am, so I was the perfect distraction. When I realized It, I get worried about her and start shouting “Hope, it’s a trap. Hope!”
Some seconds after she vamps speed back where I am and asks, “What are you saying?”
“They used me as bait, that is the reason they sent so little soldiers. They wanted you to capture me.” I explain.
“What do they win with that?” she asks.
“They probably have a locator inside me, you have to go Hope.” I shout worried just before an explosion hit the house. I see how Hope is thrown in the air by the expansion wave. Before she can recover a bunch of soldiers enter the house and start shooting her. I try to get up but I am also stunned by the explosion, so I fall down. I start crawling to Hope’s body when I heard someone say “I have found him”
“The orders are to bring the two of them alive” another soldier says.
“At least I will enjoy this” The first one adds and then I feel a strong hit in my head that knocks my out.
