Hosie: I'm Different

Mysterious figure

Hope was once again awake at 2 am, She had been consistently waking at this time for a few days now but assumed it was because she was stressed. The figure In Josie's room had unnerved her, But she hadn't seen it for a few days now and was relieved. Hope wasn't convinced that it was a maid like Josie said because the scent the figure had left behind was the scent of a vampire. Hope turned to look at her screen and smiled seeing Josie sleeping soundly. Hope surveyed the surroundings around her but spotted nothing. Feeling more relieved she climbed out of bed and repeated her actions of the previous few nights. Grabbing some blood, heading back to her room, Putting Television on, and Watching Over Josie. 

Hope was still laying awake when she heard a noise on the other end of the phone. Turning to look at it she noticed Josie was now facing away from the camera, but the thing that caught her attention most was the figure that was back. Hope growled shouting through the phone "Who are you". Hope noticed the figure turn but their face was still covered so she couldn't make out who it was. Once the figure was fully facing the camera they sped forward using vamp speed and hung up. Hope felt her heart constrict at the thought of something happening to Josie, So for the second time that week, She found herself speeding to Josie's house. Hope pulled up on the drive and vamped out the car and in Josie's window. Once again Hope checked the room but there was no sight of the vampire except from their scent. Hope sighed as she walked over and sat on Josie's bed next to her, She gently ran her fingers through Josie's hair feeling herself slowly relax. 

Hope smiled down at the girl and then removed her shoes before laying down on Josie's bed next to her, Hope continued to play with Josie's hair until eventually sleep took over her. Josie woke up to a weight behind her. Frowning she sat up and turned around, but her face soon softened as she saw a sleeping Hope. Josie smiled and wondered why Hope was in her room, and made a note to ask Hope about it when she awoke. Josie climbed out of bed but felt a bit ruff that morning but wasn't sure why. Heading downstairs she dragged herself into the dining room before dropping herself on a chair. "You look tired Miss Saltzman, are you feeling well?" Josie just laid her head on the table "Could you just get my normal breakfast please?" The maid nodded and headed to the kitchen. It didn't take long for the maid to return and she handed Josie her food. Josie ate it and started feeling a little bit better, thinking maybe she was feeling tired because she had no energy. 

Josie stood up and went back to her room after breakfast, Walking in she saw Hope still asleep on her bed. Josie walked over to her and kissed her on the forehead before grabbing some clothes and getting dressed. Once she was dressed she left Hope a little note telling her she would be filling out some forms for her trip in her fathers office. Josie put the note on her pillow and headed to her fathers office. Knocking she waited a second before he called her in, Walking in she smiled at her father and greeted him before sitting opposite him in a chair. "So, are you still able to go to Europe Monday?" Josie nodded and answered "Yes, I was actually coming to get the forms for it". Alaric smile and handed her the forms "Here, Just sign the bottom of them and I will do the rest". Josie nodded as she took the papers and grabbed a pen off of her dads desk.  She signed her name on the forms then handed them back "So what will I be  teaching? I mean I'm Literally the same age as the students". Alaric smiled as he answered "You will be teaching a bit of everything. And I know you are, The school are also aware of that but they figured that the student's will pay attention to someone who is more their age". Josie smiled and nodded "Okay, where will I be staying?" Alaric smiled again "We have already booked you a hotel, It will be ready for when you land and there will  be someone to meet you from the airport". Josie smiled and nodded "Okay thank you dad". Alaric smiled and nodded "Your welcome love". 

Josie was just leaving her fathers office when she bumped in to Hope "Hope, I'm sorry are you okay?" Hope looked at Josie smiling "I'm fine, I was actually just coming to find you". Josie smiled as she leaned in and kissed her girlfriend "Well, I'm here". Hope smiled as she pulled Josie into a hug. They both headed back to Josie's room and Josie put some music on before sitting on her bed with Hope "So, Why exactly were you in my bed this morning? Not that It's a problem". Hope frowned as she answered "Well, I saw the figure again last night but they hung up the phone so I hurried over to make sure that you were okay". Josie nodded and sighed "Who even is this figure?" Hope sighed and shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know Jo, But I need to find out. I want you to put a barrier spell around your room can you do that?" Josie nodded as she stood up "Yeah, I'll do it now". Hope nodded as Josie put her hand on her desk, and instantly it started glowing red. Once she felt like she had enough power she headed over to the door and placed her hand on the wall and chanted "Apné sà mene" Hope watched and smiled as Josie's hand once again glowed red. Once she had done Josie turned back to Hope "Done, Now only, You, Lizzie, My father, My mother and my maids can enter". Hope smiled as she stood up walking over to Josie and wrapping her arms around her waist "Thank you love". Josie smiled and nodded "No problem baby".
