In a new light

chapter 8: You are blushing

Lizzie turned around where a grinning MG stood. Irritated that they were interrupted she snarled "What is it MG?"

"So uhm there is this new monster in front of the school, and I thought you might want to know" said a slightly scared MG, seeing Lizzie with an angry expression on her face and MG knew better than anyone that you don't want to piss off Elizabeth Saltzman.

Hope who finally snaped out off the daze she was in after the kiss answered, "Okay MG, go to Dr. Saltzman's office you should be able to find the rest of my family there tell them what's going on."

Mg used his vampire speed to get as quickly as possible to the office while the girls went to the front of the school ready to take on whatever monster there was going to be.

Standing in front of the school was a creature you could call beautiful but also ugly. It was a woman with dark brown eyes and green piercing eyes. She had the upper body of a woman, but her legs were those of a bird and she had dark grey wings.

"What is she suppose to be" asked Hope hoping that maybe Lizzie knew what creature she was so they could defeat it but before the blonde could answer another voice spoke up "They are known as harpy's beautiful woman with wings who got cursed and over time became ugly monsters. They are known for stealing food and carrying their victim's souls to the underworld.

Hope turned around at hearing the voice of her aunt Freya. "Why am I not surprised you know this Aunt Freya?"

"Okay while that was very informational, how do we defeat it? Because she seems to become pretty angry" pointed out Lizzie. The rest of them looked at the woman like bird who was passing in front of them hissing lowly.

"Well, a lot of people think that they are immortal, but I think I know a spell that should be able to destroy her." Said a now nervous looking Freya, she wasn't sure the spell was going to work and if it didn't who knew what would happen.

The harpy had clearly lost its patience because before Freya could say the spell the woman spread her wings and flew up in the air, she began charging at them and managed to hit Marcel in the face with one of her claws leaving a deep cut on his cheek.

"Shit okay girls I need you to repeat after me okay igni" Lizzie moved over to the shorter girl so she could siphon her, and they all began to chant the spell.

An angry orange pyrokinetic burst shot out of their hands into the face of the woman, who at first tried to dodge it but ended up being hit by it anyway. Slowly the woman's face began to melt taking the beauty with it. The only thing left was an angry and ugly face staring back at them.

"Shit okay guys that clearly didn't work" gulped Hope "Anyone else have an idea?"

"What if we just put a sleeping spell on it and lock it away in cellar beneath the school" said Lizzie as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. Which kind of made the other feel dumb because that is an easy solutions that would work perfectly.

So, they quickly made work of it, the non withes began running around the creature to distract it while Hope, Lizzie, Davina and Freya started the spell "ad sonum". And as easy as that the woman fell down from the sky and fell into a deep slumber.

The Mikaelson's grabbed the harpy and went to put her into the cellar so that left the two girls alone.

"We should never tell Josie about the igni spell she already has an obsession with fire as it is, who know what she would do when she gets her hands on this spell." Laughed a slightly exhausted Hope.

Lizzie began laughing at that her sister really had an odd love for fire. She knew that things are a little rough with her twin right now, but they always forgive each other it's just what they did.

Silently they began walking back to the school it was already becoming late and they hadn't even eaten anything since this morning. "You hungry" asked a clearly hungry Lizzie. "Not really but you clearly are so why don't you go put on some clean clothes and I will make dinner?" proposed Hope.

Of course Lizzie agreed so they both went their separate ways. Lizzie to her room and Hope to the kitchen.

Hope already knew what she wanted to cook there was this meal that her mom had thought her, and it was amazing, she just hoped the blonde would feel the same about it.

Lizzie walked to her room with a few things on her mind of course the crazy winged woman was a thing that claimed her thoughts but the thing she was really thinking about was the kiss with Hope.

They had actually kissed it just felt so unreal. If anyone would have said to her that she and Hope of all people would kiss in an empty classroom a week ago, she would have cursed the shit out of them. But it had happened, and it was one of the most amazing ones she had ever shared with someone.

She was just confused yes she did like the kiss, and she was pretty sure she liked Hope, but did that mean she like all girls or just Hope? And how long had she had this crush on Hope, was it some unconscious thing or had she began developing feelings for her over what they had shared the past few days.

Walking into her room she had clearly forgotten her twin would be there. She kept standing into the entrance of their room she wasn't sure if she wanted to talk to her yet but at the same time, she could really use her sister right now to talk about everything.

"Lizzie what happened why are your clothes all dirty?" asked a confused Josie. Lizzie had completely forgot that she looked like she rolled down a sand mountain. "There was another monster but me, Hope and her family took care of it." She hadn't realized it, but her cheeks turned a shade redder at the mention of the tribid it made her thoughts of a minute ago come back to her.

"You are blushing why are you blushing" Squealed the brunette. For a second they both forgot the fight they had and just began talking like before.

Telling Josie about what happened this weekend was easier than she thought it would be. Josie listened carefully at everything her twin said from the hug in the middle of the street to the kiss they shared.

It was a little bit awkward for Josie to hear about that since she just had admitted that she had a crush on Hope when she was 14. But she was over that plus Penelope was still fresh on her mind.

"Wow I can't believe you two kissed I mean I had a suspicion when we were younger that you had a crush on her but wow" said Josie.

"Haha Jo don't begin to exaggerate okay I don't know in how far I have feelings for her" said the blonde "Well, tell me how you feel when you are around her, and you can try to deny it, but you defiantly had a crush on her when we were younger." Teased Josie

"okay uhm, I feel safe, protected I just want to keep laying in her arms and never let go. She makes me feel al warm inside and tingly. I don't know she just makes me happy." Answered an embarrassed Lizzie.

"Wow when I asked of your feelings for her, I didn't expect a full-on love confession."

"I don't know if it's love but I defiantly care deeply about her and I don't want to mess this up Jo. But enough about that" explained Lizzie.

"if you want you can come eat dinner with me and Hope she is making something as we speak?" asked Lizzie.

The brunette agreed so Lizzie quickly changed her clothes but kept hope's hoodie on. They both began walking into the kitchen not realizing that what would be waiting for them.
