Hosie: My life was better when you were in it

Small mistake

Hope was minding her own business just sitting at the bar stacking up shot glasses when she heard someone behind her "Well you've made a mess haven't you". Turning around Hope spotted Josie, rolling her eyes she stood up facing her "Guess so but you need to leave If you don't wanna be dessert". Josie grinned as she picked up one of the people from the floor sinking her teeth into their neck. Hope was quick to push her away as the body fell back to the floor "What are you doing Jo, you know you can't control yourself properly unless it's me Finch or Lizzie". Josie laughed as her veins under her eyes pulsed, " Oh so you can rampage and eat everyone but I can't". Josie frowned and pouted and Hope knew she couldn't resist it. Sighing she spoke "Jo, what are you doing here?" Josie frowned before looking away "Can we talk outside?" Hope noticed Josie struggling to control herself so she nodded. Once they were outside Josie began to speak "I just hate everything that's happening at the moment. I'm scared Hope. I don't want to hurt Finch, But I don't know if it's because were soulbound or something else, but I can't stay away from you, I can't stay mad at you, I love you and its crushing me. But I'm scared. What happens if you get angry and hurt me? Your bite is fatal to me. What if everything that Happened with us before happens again? I couldn't take that pain again Hope".

Hope stood silently for a moment before sighing "Jo, I would never hurt you, I would never leave again, I would rather die. You don't need to be afraid of me. Do you love me?" Josie was silent for a second before answering "I love you, But what about Finch?". Hope growled "Josie, you can't have both of us, who is it you love the most?" Josie didn't even need to think about an answer as she replied "You". Hope smiled walking closer to Josie "be with me then". Josie backed away a little before shaking her head "I need Time, But I wanted you to know how I feel". Hope shook her head "Why? Tell me why you need time". Josie stepped forward as she began explaining "Because we have so much history, you left me, you used me, you broke my heart then you came back and made me love you all over again. Then you beat up my girlfriend and her pack, before running off on a rampage and causing trouble for my father. Who by the way, is currently at the sheriffs office trying to find every person that was here, to get MG and Kaleb to compel them".

Hope frowned unsure how to react, she knew that this wasn't a good idea when she decide to do it but she was just so angry that she didn't care. After a few minutes Hope began to speak "If I help fix this mess, Apologise to Finch and her pack and start training with your father and talking to Emma again. Will you take me back?" Josie was silent for a second before nodding "You have to have counselling for at least a month first ok?" Hope smiled and nodded "Anything for you". Josie smiled as she began walking back to the grill, Hope looked at her worried knowing If she went back in she would loose control, so she vamped in front of Josie. "Don't go back in there Jo, Let me go clean the mess up. Just wait out here for me". Josie nodded before looking at Hope with a cheeky grin "Could I at least have a snack? The smell of blood has made me hungry". Hope swallowed knowing that If she let Josie feed on a person they would definitely die so she only had one option. Taking a deep breath Hope bit into her wrist and handed it to Josie. Josie looked at her to see if she could feed and Hope just nodded. Smiling Josie took Hope's wrist to her mouth biting down and sucking.

Hope gasped at the feeling of Josie feeding on her again, she remembered the High she used to get from it, she remembered the way it would feel to have so much Control over Josie, and within seconds it all came crushing back down onto her. Turning to Josie she spoke "Harder Jo". Josie obliged and bit harder and within seconds Hope was hit with the feeling of complete calm. Josie dropped Hope's hand as she thanked her and Hope just hummed. Josie noticed and bit into her own wrist offering it To Hope "oh God I took to much, drink Hope". Hope looked at Josies wrist shaking her head "Its fine Jo, you didn't take to much". Josie was silent for a minute before realizing "Hope, I'm sorry, I won't do it again". Hope just shook her head "Its Fine Jo, I'm going to go compel everyone in here, wait here for me". Josie nodded as Hope walked in to the grill, before pulling out her phone sending a text to Alaric 'Dad I think I just made a mistake'.

Alaric felt his phone buzz and pulled it out his pocket. Josie had told him she was going to try and calm Hope down, While Alaric spoke to Matt and got Kaleb and MG to track down whoever had escaped the grill and compel them. Reading the text he was overcome with a sense of fear, clicking the number he rung Josie. She picked up on the first ring "What happened Jo, are you safe?" Josie could hear her father's concern down the phone "Yes dad, I'm safe don't worry". Alaric sighed relieved before continuing to speak " okay what was your message about then? What happened?". Josie took a deep breath before explaining "I got to the grill and Hope had fed on some people. There was a lot of human blood and I couldn't control my thirst. So I asked Hope to talk outside and we did. But Before she went back in the grill to compel everyone, I was still struggling with my thirst so to help me, she let me feed off her. Almost immediately she seemed dazed so I offered her my blood but she just told me she was fine".

Alaric sighed "Josie you shouldn't have done that. Look what happened last time, she became addicted to you feeding off her and it was dangerous for both you and her. I don't want that happening again. Just go and wait by my truck with Hope and we will take the necessary precautions to make sure it doesn't happen again when we get back". Josie said ok before hanging up the phone. Not even a minute after Josie had hung up, Hope walked out the grill "Everyones compelled now". Josie smiled at Hope before she began walking towards her dad's truck "good, dad said he was going to talk to you when we get back to the school and we will sort everything that has happened". Hope nodded still feeling slightly high from earliers interaction "Okay".
