The Villain in Whose Story (Phosie Fanfic)

007

"Punishment and Praise"

Hope POV

    I stared in disgust at the creature that was walking down Main Street and after looking closely, I saw it holding the urn in its gnarled hand. I vamp over to the group and everyone jumps away from me except Penelope. Instead, she walks closer to me and whispers in my ear, "Thank you for not telling them." I give her a warm smile and nod. "Anytime love."  She smiles back.

 "Look I know you guys might be scared of me, but I'm still going to help you defeat this monster." Everyone looked at Alaric and he gave a slight nod. Josie spoke up. "The plan is for it to walk closer and then we're going to knock it out, take the scarab out of its chest, and Lizzie and I will siphon it to destroy it." I nod along and then ask, "What do I do then?" Josie just shrugs and I nod. I mean I could secretly help, but I don't want to have them know I'm a Mikaelson tribrid when they're already scared of me. "Okay, I guess yall can siphon from me if you need." Josie nods but Lizzie is shaking her head. "I will not hold hands with a murderer. Plus we have Raf and Landon." I snicker. "I don't know what Landon is but he will not be enough. Plus you sat in a car with a murderer for like 14 hours the first day you met me." She stares at me for a while then snaps out of it. 

    By now the mummy is almost to us so we get into formation. Penelope is holding Josie, Josie is holding me, I'm holding Lizzie, and Lizzie's holding Raf. Landon just stood next to Alaric looking very out of place. They start in chant the spell that'll knock the mummy out, but nothing happens. It gets closer and closer until it reaches out with a hand and I hear Penelope choking. I quickly rush over to her and hold her. She's coughing up bugs. I look around to see that everyone is like that. I say a quick spell to protect myself. I form a plan that will hopefully work. I vamp over to the mummy and tear the scarab off its chest, grab the urn, and quickly vamp back over. I go over to Josie and pick her up. I do a small spell under my breath that protects her mouth. Immediately she stopped puking up bugs and she took the scarab and started to siphon it. But the mummy was practically in front of us so I had to distract it while Josie finished siphoning. 

   I vamp back over to it and throw out a punch. My hand connects with its wrinkly chest and it crumbles. His chest crumbles with my hand in it. Aw, shit is the last thought in my head before he punches me and I fly across the street. I land hard on the floor next to Penelope who is still coughing up bugs. I say the same spell to protect her mouth and she flashes over to my side. "Ow. Shit, he hits hard." Penelope chuckles and she just holds me as she looks worriedly at Josie. The mummy is towering over her when it freezes. I watch as it disintegrates into a pile of dust that the wind blows away. I try to sit up but a stabbing pain shoots through my chest and I hiss in pain. "Here let me help." Penelope gently helps me stand up and I give her a small smile. We interlock our hands and I lean into her for support. I've been drinking animal blood for a day and already I feel weak. The only taste of human blood I've had in 2 days was the blood that splattered into my mouth when I killed the guy earlier.

    We barely had a moment to celebrate when about 15 men in black suits with masks on came out. One of the guys spoke, "Give us the urn and we'll leave you alone." I smirk at how bold they are, challenging a group of supernaturals. I look at the man who just spoke. He had curly hair, kind of like Landon's. "We have wolfsbane, vervain, and wooden bullets that will tear through all of you." Ah, so they came prepared. "I'll repeat it. Give us the urn and we'll lea-" He didn't get to finish because I sped up to him ignoring the searing pain in my chest and ripped his heart out. His body hit the ground and another man started barking orders. All hell broke loose as guns were fired and vervain and wolfsbane bombs were detonated. In a few moments, the fight was over, all the men were dead with their hearts on the floor except one. He pointed his gun at all of us trying to decide who to hit. He settled on me and he smirked as he talked. "I know this won't kill you but it'll still hurt." I braced myself for the pain that I thought was coming but I saw him change the direction of the gun. It was pointing to someone behind me, Josie. I heard the gun click and he fired. 

   Everything slowed down. I could hear the bullet whistling through the air as it made its way towards Josie's heart. The only thought going through my head was, save Josie, save Josie. It was like a mantra. I ran as fast as I could to try to take it but I was unsure if I would make it in time. I slammed into Josie pushing her away and immediately I felt a throbbing pain blossom in my stomach. I looked down to see my shirt wet with my blood. Blood rushed in my ear as I collapsed into someone's arms. 

     I look up to see who's arms are holding me. I look up into green eyes, Penelope. She's crying as she looks at me. I raise my hand to her face and wipe her tears away. "Don't worry love, I'm not going to die." She chuckles and holds my hand. Her grip is tight as if she was holding on for life. I move my other hand and hover it over my wound. I take a deep breath and move my hand from Penelope's face. I don't let go of her hand, I just move it. As I breathe out I stick my fingers into my stomach and wiggle them trying to find where the bullet is. I bite down on my lip trying to suppress the scream that wants to desperately come out. A warm liquid that tastes metallic fills my mouth. I must have bit my lip hard enough to break the skin. As hard as I try to make no sound a whimper comes out. My fingers graze something hard and I grab it. I yank my hand out of my body and it comes out red and wet. I open my hand and I see the wooden bullet in my palm.

   I'm dragging in ragged breaths and I hear Penelope let out a sigh of relief. "I thought you got shot in the heart." I barely hear her but I look over at her. "Aw, love. I didn't know my death would affect you this bad." Her sad expression turns into an annoyed one. She looks away but now before I see a light blush in her cheeks. "Shut up." I laugh and stand up. I lift my shirt up to look at my wound. It's completely gone, the only thing that shows is a little pink mark. I look up to see Penelope staring at my exposed skin with her mouth open. "Take a picture, it'll last longer. And do close your mouth love, flies will go in." She's a deep red and she looks down in embarrassment. 

   I hear someone coming from behind me and I turn around before they can speak. "Thank you, Hope." Josie's voice comes out quiet. I smile at her and say, "Anytime love." She blushes and runs back over to the group. I notice they're standing a little far away. As I think about why I remember why. They just watched me murder all 15 men within 3 minutes. No wonder why they're all scared of me. I see Josie arguing with her father and I stride over pulling Penelope with me. Although I could already hear them I walked over so they could hear me. "Dad, don't punish her. She just saved my life." "I know Josie but she killed 16 men in cold blood." Josie shakes her head and says, "15 of those people were trying to kill us, and the other one used homophobic slurs. They all deserved it." "Yes, that man shouldn't have used homophobic slurs but that doesn't mean he deserves to die." Penelope clears her throat and everyone looks at her. She looks uncomfortable with everyone looking at her and when I see this I squeeze her hand in reassurance and whisper, "You got this love." 

    She takes a deep breath and explains what the man did to her. They all had a shocked expression when she finished. I looked down afraid that my eyes would glow golden, because listening to Penelope tell what happened made me angry. "Okay. I'll let this one slide Hope, but if you kill again I will expel you." I nod and we all head back to the car. Alaric calls Dorian and Emma to tell them that we're heading home and for them to come to the car. I yell for Kaleb and he comes within seconds. We all get into the car and drive home. Penelope was sitting on me this time and she was leaning into me. She was sleeping and I was happy that she felt comfortable enough around me to sleep. I let out a content sigh, maybe I could be happy and move on from my parents. These words sent a spark of hope through my body.

A/N: SURPRISE UPDATE! To clear things up, those 15 men were Triad and obviously, things are different than the show. This makes sense cause it's an AU but ANYWAYS, I hope you enjoyed this chapter and if you have any suggestions, ideas, or questions please comment.
