Hope or Despair

Chapter Four.

- "No, Landon I'm sorry, it meant nothing, she means nothing, I love you" mumbled a nervous Hope in her sleep.

"AGH!" Screamed Hope. She had dozed off on the flight. She didn't have the energy to talk to Josie, she just wanted to forget the Penelope thing and get this over.

They had just landed in Norway Hope's aunt Freya asked one of her old friends to take care of the girls while they were there. He was waiting for Hope and Josie at the airport.- "Hey girls, my name is Alexander. Your aunt told me you're searching for a mysterious witch coven."- "Yeah they were one of, if not the first witch coven" said Josie.- "Alrighty, the best place to start would be at the town's old pub. That's where all the magical creatures go."While they were on their way to the car Josie tried to talk alone with Hope, she asked Alexander if he could give them a moment alone, he had no objections.-"Hope, why are you ignoring me I thought we had a good time yesterday?"- "We don't have time to lose we have only two days before we have to get back to the school" abruptly said Hope while leaving Josie talking to herself.The car ride was filled with an uncomfortable silence everyone sensed, Alexander in an effort to break the ice, asked the girls about their layover in Brussels.- Hope responded before Josie had the chance to "you know it wasn't that bad".Josie couldn't help but smile, she thought Hope was referring to their time on the pool table.Hope continued- "We tried these delicious pomme frites accompanied by this artesanal beer, really nice, and the airport was beautiful, but since we had limited time we didn't do anything interesting"- "Oh that's great I've always wanted to go, they say the beer is incredible unfortunately I've never had the time" said Alexander while parking into the pubs garage.A pouting Josie siting in the back seat couldn't help but wonder what did she do to make Hope hate her so much.The three of them left the vehicle and entered the pub. Alexander went to the bar asking the bartender for "Red Tequila". A mysterious women then exited the kitchen and faced the girls.-"So, how can I satisfy your mystical needs today?"- Josie excited this was finally happening she responded as fast as she knew how "I pertain to the Gemini Coven, me and my twin sister are they only ones left after my coven performed a mass suicide to save our lives. We are trying to find a way to avoid the merger".- "I see" responded the mysterious women.Josie continued her explanation.- "While investigating this Mora Misserium *Josie grabbed the Mora Misserium from her bag and gave it to the women* I saw a ritual performed by a coven that began with the letter M."The lady grabbed the Mora Misserium said "hashti nomling" and the tool disappeared. She only said in an arrogant tone "this is a child's toy, come with me" said the lady.Hope, Josie and Alexander followed the lady into a secret chamber bellow the pub. This lady started narrating an interesting story while they were entering the chamber."I was raised here in Tønsberg, Norway by a beautiful and caring family. They where ok until they knew I was special. One night my father entered my bedroom with one of the knives from the kitchen in his left hand, he was afraid of me because he didn't understand my capabilities, to be fair I didn't either. I woke up to see my father standing over my bed with a knife. In that moment all I did was scream, the next thing I know I'm standing in an empty lot, a lot where my house used to be. Not knowing what just happened I ran."-"Um okay, sad story and all but what does that have to do with us." Said an annoyed Hope."Well I ran away to this small village where I was received by some nice and caring farmers, that turned out to be witches. They guided me an explained what happened to me they knew who I was and saw my potential.My magic was not like others, so I decided to start studying my past, I realized my entire coven was slaughtered by super natural creatures threatened by our powers. So I grabbed a couple of wolves and vampires to perform a ritual of immortality. Being the only one left of my coven I had to ensure it's permanece on the earth. Knowing I had no family left I needed to live forever.Did I mention I'm approximately 2000 years old, and yes I don't look a day over 30. Anyway Josie, you talk about a powerful coven that began with the letter M one capable of stoping the merger between you and your sister. Your looking for me I'm the one women coven who am help you, I can handle that for you but it will come at a price."- "Anything" said Josie.- " Woah, calm down Josie before you sell your soul to the devil you haven't even asked the name of the coven" Said a suspicious Hope.-"Oh excuse me where are my manners I haven't even introduced myself. Hi my name is Danielle Mikaelson and I pertain to the infamous powerful Mikaelson coven."
