The Villain in Whose Story (Phosie Fanfic)

006

"Darkness"

TW: Homophobic slurs, sexual assault (If these things trigger you then skip to the bold words where I will summarize what happens).

Hope POV

       We quickly make our way out of the bathroom and into the main area of the bar. We walk past a few tables when someone catcalls at us. "Hey, beautifuls! I can show you a fun time." Penelope rolls her eyes but I'm annoyed so I growl at him. I feel a hand grab mine and I look down to see Penelope holding my hand. "Calm down," she says in a quiet voice. I try, but I just can't seem to calm down. I just want to rip these people's heads off. I growl again and I see Penelope lean in and her lips touch my cheek. It was a little peck but I still felt like thousands of butterflies were in my stomach. She pulls away and her face is crimson. I smirk at her face and say, "Aw, love. Are you falling for me?" She looks away. The man who whistled at us walked up to us and stood in front of us. "Do you need something?" I ask lazily. He grins wide, looks at Penelope, and says, "Yes, your body." With that, he leaned forward and grabbed her butt.

      The dam that contained my anger shattered and I lunged at him and threw him across the room. All the talking in the room ceased. It was completely silent. Everyone was looking at me with shocked expressions. The sound of clattering comes from where I threw the man. He stands up and looks at me. "Don't ever touch my girl. Leave now or I'll kill you." He looks at me incredulously. "You think a girl can beat me?" He looks around the room asking people, "Do you think this dyke can beat me?" I slowly walk over to him until I'm face to face with him. "Don't ever call me a dyke. In fact, don't call anyone a dyke. Be a gentleman and call them lesbian. Damn, I didn't know a 50-year old man could be such an idiot." 

      The man's expression changed into an angry one. He just stands there looking at me when he suddenly throws out a hand that catches my wrist. He smirks triumphantly. "Get your filthy hands off me before I rip your heart out." I spat the words out like they were poison. His look falters for a second before he composes himself. "Or what? What are you going to do you little dyke?" He taunts me. I'm seething and I only hesitate because I know Penelope is watching me. "Hope, it's fine. Let's just go." Does Penelope just want to let this go? Okay, calm down. Think of mixing paints and brushes. I take a deep breath and yank my wrist out of his feeble grip. "Leave us alone, or even Penelope won't be able to stop me," I warn. I walk over to Penelope and grasp her arm. We quickly leave and head to the location that Josie texted me. 

     Once we get there Alaric yells at us. "Where have you guys been?" I look over to Penelope who looks like she's in a daze so I answer for us. "There were a lot of people in my way, okay. Chill." I pull Penelope close as I walk over to the twins. "Penelope snap out of it," I say in a hushed voice. She blinks twice and then looks over at me. She gives me a small smile and I send one back. I drop my hand from her arm just in case she doesn't feel comfortable with me touching her. I feel her grip my hand tightly. "Don't let go please." I nod and smile at her. "Hey Jojo," Penelope says. Josie looks at her with a confused expression she points at our hands, "Are you guys dating?" I let out a loud laugh. "If your jealous love, you can just tell us." I hear Penelope chuckle at my remark and Josie is bright red. "I'm not jealous, I just wanted to know." I lightly hit her on the arm. "Hey, don't be embarrassed, how could anyone resist this body?" I gesture to my body and Penelope's on the ground laughing. 

      "Hey! You little dykes!" I stop laughing immediately. It was the man from in the bar. Penelope gets up and grabs my arm to stop me from lunging at him. "Penelope, so help if you don't let me go, I will throw you." At this point, I'm growling at him. "We haven't finished yet you dyke." "Do you guys know this man?" Alaric asks us. We don't answer. I feel Penelope's hands drop from mine. "Go ahead, I hate men like him anyways," I smirk and lunge at him. I roughly grab him and throw my hand out. It connects with his nose which lets out a satisfying crack. I let go and he stumbles back. He holds his nose and says, "You broke my nose. Oh, I'm going to kill you for that you little bitch!" Spittle flew from his mouth as he spat the words out. He throws out a sloppy punch which I sidestep easily. I hold my hand out with my fingers up like a claw. He runs at me. 

     I felt blood splatter on my face, it was dripping down my hand and my face. I lick my lips and taste blood. I hear Alaric screaming at me, "HOPE MARSHALL. WHAT DID YOU JUST DO?" The man had run right into my outstretched arm. I pushed his body back and it revealed his heart, in my hand. Shit, I didn't mean to kill him. Shit, what if I get expelled? I slowly walked over to the group. I'm looking at the floor ashamed that I lost control in front of my friends. "Hope, do you remember what I said would happen if it happened again." I slowly nod. "Look at me." His voice pierced my heart. I just found a place I was happy and now I ruined it. But I ruined it for Penelope and I'm okay with that. I slowly look up at Alaric. "I'll give you 1 minute to explain why you killed him." I look over at Penelope who's looking at the man's body. I was about to explain what happened with Penelope but I decided against it since it's not my story to tell. 

The TW ends here. The summary towards the end of my A/N. Well just read the whole A/N.

       "No reason." Penelope's head snaps up when she hears my words. She looks at me with a quizzical look.  "He was annoying and he said some very offensive things." He shakes his head. "Yes, some people are annoying but that doesn't mean you kill them, Hope. This isn't like you." I point my finger at him angrily. "You know nothing about me. You're so quick to judge me when you don't know anything. I wasn't born with this darkness, after everything I've gone through it became a part of me." I take a deep breath. "You made that school as a safe place for supernaturals but it's your kind that we have to hide from. If you knew the true extent of what I've gone through, you would be like me too." I turn around and walk away. I flip them off as I walk away. But as I go I hear a loud roar. I whirl around to see a disgusting creature walking down Main Street. 

A/N: ALRIGHT. In this story I wanted Hope to be a badass and be secretly protective, but I feel like I haven't really been showing that side of her so I wrote this chapter for it. I really liked writing badass Hope so I might add more. Also, cliffhanger, is Hope gonna be expelled? How are they gonna defeat the mummy? Is Penelope gonna tell what the man did to her? So many questions, which will all be answered in the next chapter. I also wanted to say thank you to all the people who have read my story. In the beginning, I didn't think anyone would want to read my trash story, but it turns out quite a few people do. Thank you and I hope you enjoyed the chapter. I'm sorry if it was triggering. But basically, Hope and Penelope leave the bathroom stall and when they get to the main room they encounter a man. He's intoxicated and gets touchy with Penelope, Hope gets mad and yeets him across the room. The girls leave to go meet up with the gang. The man follows them and yells at them and then Hope kills him on accident. I hope you enjoyed the chapter and if you have any suggestions, ideas, or questions please comment them.
