Monster's Daughter (Legacies Fanfic)

~38~

Hope POV

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I walk to my history of magic class with Josie around my shoulder. Smiling and talking about a rock she found outside the looked like a snail and a frog she named Leon.

 I could listen to Josie talk all day whether its about frog and rocks or school. Which I am not doing particularly well in considering I can't do magic. Josie has suspected something has been wrong with me a couple of times but usually buys the excuse that I am just adjusting to being a vampire. Josie and I sit down at our desks next to each other. It's funny we wanted our relationship to be quiet, but most people know except some who cannot seem to take a hint!

Suddenly a piece of paper floats into the teachers hand " Hope to the office" I smile at Josie then my face turns into a nervous panic.

 I tear at the skin around my nails, face turning paler and paler by the minute. I put my shaking hand on the door revealing Caroline, Alaric, Cami, Marcel, Rebekah, Kol, Davina, Keelin, and Freya. Everyone either looked worried or concerned. I knew I walked right into a trap. 

"Hey guys", I say holding on the door so I could at least try to run. Freya puts her hand on her face as Keelin holds her.

"Hope we have reason to believe that....you haven't been doing so well and we are worried" Caroline says lifting a box onto her desk. 

Marcel and Rebekah lean over from the wall they were laying against to look at the contents of the box. I look down at the box of items

 "You w-went through my room?!" I say furiously clenching my fists. 

"I'm glad we did hope, you've been spiraling out of control. I was able to look past the last incident but this...this  is self destruction hope" Freya say picking up a pill bottle from the box. 

"Why aren't her eyes turning green" Rebekah asks wondering why my wolf eyes haven't started glowing. 

Kol starts riffling through the box confusing everyone else. He takes out two rocks with two ancient  symbols on them. 

"WHAT ARE THESE" Kol says shaking with anger holding them out.

Everyone looks around confused

"HOW DID YOU EVEN LEARN HOW TO DO THIS?!" Kol practically screams in my face

"I found a book" I say quietly  

"DO THEY EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU'VE BEEN DOING TO YOURSELF?!" He says wiping hot tears from his face

"DO YOU THINK YOU'RE PARENTS WOULD HAVE WANTED THIS FOR YOU!" Kol say banging the rocks on the table

"No" I say throat swelling and tears welling

"What is the spell for" Alaric asks knowing that it would be serious since Kol brought up my parents.

Kol turns around to the desk head down. "It's as spell that hasn't been used since the dark ages on account of how painfully it is or most would rather burn at the stake. It was a spell used to temporarily bind any and all forms of magic flowing through a person." Everyone was shocked 

I kept my head down but I could feel there eyes burning into me.

Kol looks up face burning with anger " Most witches only need to do it monthly to rid themselves of any magic, the did this by burning there arms with these rocks" He says holding them up for everyone to see. Making tears come to everyone's eyes

 "If I'm guessing correctly hope would have to do this daily to suppress all of her magic" Kol slams the rocks on the desk

He grabs my arm while I look down at the floor

Pulling down my sleeve to reveal gauze. 

Kol slowly unwraps my arm to reveal third degree burns on my arm.

I hear gasping and crying from everyone in the room

All I can do is let tear come to my eyes thinking about how I got here, but I am also angry because they do not understand 

So I rebut "You do not get to judge my life decisions or tell me what my parents would or wouldn't want. They are D.E.A.D.  DEAD!! I am a time bomb and this spell keeps everyone around me safe!! I don't want to be the reason people are hurt!! I AM NOT A MONSTER!!" I yell the last part in Kol's face startling everyone.

I turn to walk out the door but Rebekah speeds in front of me 

I just start crying even more I wrap my arms around her no matter how much it hurts and just cry
