Monster's Daughter (Legacies Fanfic)

Sleep

Hope POV

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

I put my knees up to my chest and rest my head on my knees.  

Elena sets her phone on the countertop then sits next to me on the couch

"Hope can you tell me what happened" She says in a calm bedside manner

I shake my head 

"Did he hurt you" She says softer

"No.." I say just as soft

She pulls me into a hug and I rest my head on her shoulder exhuasted.

I fall asleep waiting for Caroline and Alaric to get here

Elena POV

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

Damon walks over to see hope passed out in my arms.

"Is she ok" He asks looking at the dark circles and tears around her eyes

"I'm not quite sure" I say stroking hopes hair

The front door clicks open

"Mom I'm home" My daughter says opening the door

Damon quickly shushes her

"Who is she" Stefanie asks looking over at the couch

"She's one of the kids that go to Aunt Carolines school" I say putting one hand over hopes ear

She looks at her worn face and then says "I'm going to go to my room"

I nod at her answer

She runs up the stairs 

Damon sits down across the room nodding off

"I thought they would have opened the voicemail by now" I say checking my watch

Damon lies asleep on the chair next to me which a causes me to smile

Hope sqwirms around in my arms tossing and turning 

I don't pay much attention to it until her breaths become more frequent and forced

She whimpers in her sleep

"Hope" I say trying to wake her up 

"Hope,Hope,...HOPE!" I say louder trying to shake her awake but Instead waking up damon

She wakes up screaming throwing damon and the couch backwards and knocking over the table and everything on it. 

"Hope" I say trying to calm her as her eyes dart all over the room.

As damon gets up of the ground she pushes her back into my shoulder

Hope starts intensely shaking and so do items in the kitchen

I try to think of what to do and all I could think of is holding her.

"Hope It was a dream you're safe" I say cradling her in my arms

Stefanie runs down the stairs alerted by hopes screams

Hope turns and looks around the room then burries her head in my shoulder

"Do you want me to drive you to the school" I ask her

She nods

I pick her up and carry her to the car like a child.

I put her in the other side of the car and she slowly recoils still shivering

As soon as I get in the other side of the car she grabs my hand

I look over to see why she is holding my hand

All she says is "Please I don't want to be alone"

I nod wondering what kind of hell she went through.

I drive her back to the school as she hums to herself

I pull up to the school to see two police cars.

"Do you know whats going on" I ask carefully

She shrugs her shoulders and says "I'll text Josie" 

She types something out and then her phone pings with a response and says "They're looking for the vandels who trashed the school"

"That's probably why caroline hasn't been answering her phone" I unclick my seatbelt and she unclips hers and we both start walking to the school she grips my hand tight 

We walk into see a large group of students outside the office waiting to be questioned. 

Hope stands behind me trying to hide her tear stained eyes

"Hope" Josie yells running down the stairs. 

Hope leaves my side and runs to Josie and falls into her arms

Caroline comes out of the office to see the cause of all the commotion

Caroline looks over at a tear stained and exhausted Hope Mikaelson

She walks over to hope and whispers something in hopes ear and hope nods

Josie helps her up the stairs and to her room I assume

Caroline pulls me aside to an empty hallway.

"I'm so sorry I wasn't able to pick her up" Caroline says stressed

"It was no problem" I assure her

"She assured me he didn't hurt her, but she seemed too upset for nothing to have happened" I say truthfully

She hesitates " She has been through something like this before"

My face goes white "How long ago" I say shook by this statement

"A little more than a month ago" Caroline says softly

"I should have brought her back here sooner" I say regretfully

"No, I should have picked her or made time to call you back, I've just been so busy with the Investigation and disciplining Lizzie and Josie"

"What did they do" I say with the beginning of a smile

"Lizzie,Josie, Hope,and some of her other friends run through the halls on thursdays yelling and skating and running. And Lizzie somehow got her hands on drugs so it was all of that on drugs last night"

"What" I laugh 

"Yeah they wear knitted hats and capes and run around all night making noise and causing mischief. That's how all of them were excused from this investigation. " Caroline says rubbing her eyes

"How are the excused from it?" I puzzle

"I and a bunch of other people saw them in the kitchen around the time the crime was commited. They did run out at night but is was just to grab snacks and a bunch of civillians were able to place where they were all night" Caroline say somewhat shocked
