Hosie: My life was better when you were in it

Dream manipulation

Hope found herself at the field of flowers, but it seemed different. Everything was the same except the flowers were all yellow but not just any kind of yellow, Specifically Josie's favourite shade of yellow. Hope looked around happy to be in a familiar place only it was almost as if she was seeing it the way someone else would. Hope could feel the sun on her body and it was warm and inviting, But not as warm and inviting as the hands now around her waist and the soft kisses now being planted on her neck. Hope didn't even need to move to know who it was as her scent gave it away. After a few minutes Hope turned around smiling "Josie, your still here?" Hope watched as Josie nodded "Of course I am". Hope then frowned as she remembered Finch "What about Finch? Aren't you two together?". Hope watched As Josie nodded her head "yeah, but that Doesn't mean I don't love you. Do you still love me?". Hope nodded as she swallowed thickly "Of course I do Jo, I never stopped". Hope watched as Josie's face fell into a smile "I'm glad, Hope, please don't regret what happened, I know you had a lot going on and I accept that. I Know I held a grudge against you for it but Don't give up on me yet, I will forgive you, Fight for me. I know I seem happy, but trust me when I say, you would make me happier". Josie then vanished and for some reason Hope was now sure, that she must do whatever it took to get Josie back.

Hope woke up to the sound of the door closing, Sitting up Hope looked around but found nothing out of place, In fact the only thing that had changed had been the smell of the room. The room was filled with the scent of Josie. Getting out of bed Hope vamped over to the door opening it before looking up and down the corridor, to see if Josie was there but was unsuccessful. Assuming that it must have been Lizzie wearing Josie's perfume, Hope went and sat on her bed and sighed. Something about Hope's dream felt different but she couldn't figure out why. One thing that Hope was grateful for though was that her Bond must be rebuilding with Josie if she was dreaming about her again. Hope had missed her dreams, they had stopped a few weeks before her and Josie broke up and Hope was saddened by the loss of them. 

Hope laid backwards on her bed staring at the ceiling, she must've been laying there for about 5 minutes before she heard the door open "Mikaelson, get your ass up, were going to a party". Hope sat up looking at Lizzie "Really? I Don't want to and weren't you in here like 5 minutes ago". Lizzie grinned as she looked at Hope "Yes you do, Josie's going to be there and it gives you the perfect opportunity to talk to her and no why?". Hope laid back down confused she could smell Josie and she assumed it was Lizzie wearing her perfume, But Lizzie smelt nothing like Josie. Hope assumed that she was missing Josie and that's why she could smell her, so she pushed it to the back of her mind before answering Lizzie "Even If it gives me the perfect opportunity to talk to her, I can't". Lizzie frowned putting her dress down on her bed before walking over to Hope "Why can't you?" Hope sighed "You know why". Lizzie was quiet for a minute before realization hit her "your not honestly going to do what Finch says are you? that deal was made months ago does it even still count?" Hope nodded sighing "Unless I challenge her to be able to go near Josie again and win, I gave her my word that I would stay away so that's what I have to do". Lizzie shook her head walking back over to her bed "You know, I've heard stories from my mum about your dad. I heard about the way he wouldn't give up on the people he loved, He broke all the rules if it meant he would get what he wanted. I guess you could say it was admirable in a way. Strange to think you wouldn't do the same though". Hope sat up looking at Lizzie "I know your trying to manipulate me but You know what Lizzie, your right. My father would have never given up on your mum. So I refuse to Give up on Josie". 

After a few hours Hope and Lizzie had gotten ready for the party, Hope was wearing a burgundy dress and some red heels and Lizzie was wearing a light blue dress with blue heels. Smiling at each others outfits and complimenting each other they headed down to the gym. Walking in they was met by crowds of people and loud music. Hope immediately started scanning the room for Josie and her eyes soon landed on her. Hopes mouth dropped open as she saw Josie in a tight black dress, she was wearing it with black heels and had lightly curled hair. Hope was just staring until She saw someone approach her leaning in her ear. Hope listened closely to see if she could hear what they were saying and of course she could "Hey baby, you hungry? I got something you can drink". Hope felt her heart race as she remembered back when Josie used to feed on her. She remembered the feeling of Josie's fangs in her neck and the way it used to make her feel high. Shaking her head to try removing the memory she stopped listening, suddenly uninterested in the conversation. She didn't stop watching However as Josie took Finch's wrist to her mouth and bit down letting the veins under her eyes pulse. 

After a few minutes Hope was filled with the feeling of sadness and looked over to Josie who seemed Upset as Finch pulled her wrist away. Hope took a deep breath and smiled as she looked down at her arm Seeing that her mark was now officially back. She wasn't smiling because Josie was sad however, She was smiling because after over 9 months she could finally feel her soulmate again.  After a few minutes Finch walked off, and almost Immediately after, Josie made her way towards Hope. Taking a deep breath Hope steadied herself as Josie got closer to her and spoke "Hey Hope, you okay?" Hope felt nervous as she answered "Hey Jo, I'm good, how are you doing? What have you been up to since I, you know.. left." Hope swallowed as she felt both happiness and sadness course through her. Josie shrugged "Best I can do I guess, I've been seeing Emma daily and its helping. And I've not been doing much, Just sort of minding my own business or hanging with the pack. Me and Finch have been together for almost 5 months now so there's that". Hope nodded as she listened to Josie speak, she hated the last part of the conversation but she forced herself to stay and listen if it meant that she could be close to her girl.

Hope and Josie stayed and conversed a little longer before they got onto the subject of dreams. Hope wasn't sure if she should bring up her dream from earlier, but decided to just to see Josie's reaction. "So Jo, I had a dream about you". Hope watched as Josie looked at her almost knowingly, and grinned as she answered "Oh.. really? What Happened in it?" Hope smirked a little as she told Josie her dream. She watched as Josie Nodded her face falling into a small smile "Hmm sounds like it was interesting nap you had earlier". Hope nodded and smiled as Josie walked off before realization hit her. How did Josie know it was when she had taken a nap earlier? Come to think of it How did Josie know she went for a nap?
