Jax and Hope were seen walking down the street leaving a movie it was something they did to not be effected by the full moon but of course the two had complete control so they didn't need to really worry about that, as they were walking they came across Lydia. She was leaving a shop with a arm full of bags smiling happily, she spotted the two and skipped over being her ever cheerful self she hadn't talked to Jax since he left all those months again and she was interested in Hope. Coming to a stop in front of the two she smile and tapped her finger to her lip, "I love your leather jacket it goes well with your look." She complimented Hope she only had one true friend and that was Allison but she felt like even Allison was hiding something from her so she wasn't to clear.
Hope smiled she remembered this was the girl everyone was looking for a couple of nights ago and she was happy that she was okay, she also wanted more girl friends so she thought this was her chance. "Thank you, I'm Hope by the way."
"Lydia, nice to meet you." Lydia smiled back she was going to try and get with Jax but she saw how much love that he threw at Hope she could see it in his eyes when he looked at her. She didn't think he realized it but Jax's eyes unconsciously followed Hope when she spoke which she found cute seeing that she had never had anything like that she was even more envious of the girl in front of her who seemed perfect. "So what are you two up to tonight?" She asked looking between the duo.
"Nothing really we just left a movie and now we are trying to find something to do, any ideas?" Hope asked Jax had let her take control of the conversation since he knew she really wanted a friend.
"Mhmm well there isn't much to do in this town it is only so big I would recommend the diners but you can only eat so much." Lydia went back to tapping her lips trying to think of something for them to do.
"How about this you and Hope go do something while I go help Stiles with that problem he was having earlier." Jax suggested trying to get the to in a closer relationship so she could gain a true friend.
"Excellent!" Lydia clapped dragging Hope down the street before she was even able to comment on what he had just said, Jax just waved giving her a smile.

Hope POV*
After being dragged away from Jax she was thinking of a way to reward him later when they met up for doing this for her, she was now in Lydia's car and they were both singing along to some song on the radio. It was her first time experiencing something like this and she wasn't going to waste any of her time before she went back to Jax, it was different being with Lydia. With Jax she was in a love filled bubble and didn't really notice others much but with Lydia it was like something in a teenage movie she had seen about girl best friends hanging out and doing things (even if they were just in a car) Lydia talking finally broke her away from her thoughts and the song they were singing.
"So how did you two meet?" She asked curiously Hope thought she was finally going to do some real gossiping.
"Oh it was when he was on his was here actually he stopped in the city I live in and after that we started hanging out one thing led to another and we were together." Hope said on a dreamy sigh like she always did when she thought of Jax and anything related to him.
Lydia giggled at her expression, "Yeah but like what made you think he was the one for you?"
Hope actually had to stop and think not about what it was but what she should tell Lydia because from what she knew Lydia didn't know about anything supernatural so she didn't know what to say, biting the bullet she asked her own question, "Would you believe me if I told you supernatural things were real? Such as Werewolf's, Vampires, witches?" She countered with her own question her voice deadly serious.
Lydia was a little shocked at her question but she didn't laugh because she could here the deadly serious tone coming from Hope so she didn't know what to say, "Why do you ask?"
"Pull over here." Hope said telling her to bring them into an abandoned parking lot with only a single lamppost lighting it up.
After Lydia pulled in she looked over at Hope who had unbuckled her seatbelt and was staring at her with a serious expression, she wanted to say something but she knew what was about to happen was something serious so she held her tongue. The next thing that happen made her gasp in surprise Hopes eyes were glowing a bright pink color that was hypnotic making her at a lost for words for a second there not know how or what to say in this situation. Hope let her take in everything she was seeing as not to freak her out to early because she had to word this carefully if their relationship was going to last being good friends, "Lydia it might shock you but I am going to tell you something your friends have been hiding from you for a year. I'm not doing this so you will hate them but so their are no secrets between us. Now you asked me why I fell for Jax.." Lydia didn't say anything and just nodded still looking into those pink eyes, "Well the truth is Jax is a Hybrid a Vampire and a Werewolf I fell in love with him because he has never lied to me everything he has ever done for me was because he loved me and I knew I could trust him with my life so I gave him my heart. Now I asked you if you believed in the supernatural because I am a Werewolf/Witch with vampire blood coursing through my veins, my father is the Original Hybrid feared in the supernatural community by everyone but Jax. My mother is the Alpha to a pack of Wolves that have been around for centuries."
Lydia didn't know what to say she wanted to refute and say it was all nonsense but she wanted to know more. Like why didn't her friends tell her or bigger yet, "Why tell me all this aren't you afraid that I will do something to bring trouble to you." She expected many things but not for Hope to laugh.
"HAHAHAHA!!!!" Hope had to hold her sides while wiping the tears that were leaving her face, "Lydia my father is basically death himself my uncles and aunt the same, along with a close friend being powerful enough to kill them with a bite but they aren't ones anyone should fear in this life no I don't have to worry because of Jax. I told you even he isn't afraid of my family like everyone else but you have to be afraid of him because if anyone did anything to hurt me this world would burn." Hope eyes were in slits at the end, "I did this because I want our relationship to have no lies and neither of us hiding anything from the other, I trust you Lydia." Hopes smile was back and she buckled back in her seatbelt, letting Lydia process everything.
Lydia on the other hand was surprised by the fear of death she felt a shiver run down her spine when Hope talked about Jax being scary enough to make the world burn she really believed her. After thinking it over she didn't mind it all though instead she was even happier to have met Hope because she realized that while all her so called friends spent the last year keeping her in the dark Hope cake right out and told her about what's been going on. Smiling she looked right at Hope and knew this was the start to a beautiful friendship and she was happy, "Well then wolf girl tell me everything I need to know about this supernatural world." They both giggled as the car pulled off into the street heading for Lydia's house.

Jax POV*
Jax was tempted to follow Hope after she left but he knew they both needed to find friends outside each other so he didn't and instead decided to find something else to do he want really going to go help Derek out. Walking around for awhile he was suddenly lost him and Hope didn't bring his bike around the town and instead they walked looking around he heard low growls coming from the building next to him, sighing he pushed it open sometimes you can't fight destiny. Walking down steps he saw Derek and three teens the teens were tied up while Derek was trying his best to keep them all calm and not break free again. His chest were marked with scratches making it shredded with blood stains, Derek finally looked up noticing his presence but that wasn't what surprised him what did was the fact that his betas calmed down immediately.
"You know if you are going to make a pack it should compromise of something other than just teens right? I mean you picked people who were hormonal and going through puberty, why didn't you pick adults?" Jax asked berating him for his sense of choice their were thousands of people in town but he chose kids for some reason.
"Well aren't you grateful for the alpha that changed you... although I see you killed him to be an alpha yourself." Derek mocked back but was secretly glad he managed to calm them down.
"What change I am something you would call a 'True' Alpha I didn't steal my power from another this was how I was made." Jax sneered hating the condescending look he was getting from Derek, "Unlike you Hales who have no loyalty to each and would fight for power I didn't need to do that."
Derek couldn't say anything because it was true he had gotten his power from stealing from another and he didn't know what a strike alpha was but he could tell from Jax's slow heartbeat that he wasn't lying about it. The two stared at each other Jax decided to stay here for the night he had no really problems with Derek and he could be someone Jax hung out with when he wasn't with Hope. Derek watched him as he sat on a box looking over the three teens that were turned and finally in control but the wouldn't look in their direction feeling the killing intent that Jax was releasing. Looking back up to Derek Jax have a small smile, "My wife is busy right now making friends.... would you like to be my friend Derek?"
Everyone in the room was astonished from what he just said Derek could remember the girl from earlier and assumed he was talking about her but he didn't expect that this kid would ask this question.
