Monster's Daughter (Legacies Fanfic)

Wilt

Third POV

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

Hope refuses to leave bed terrified of Esther.

Josie,Lizzie, and the rest of there families tried to get hope to leave her room

But all she would do is yell at them to get out fearing that she would hurt them like she hurt the hiker

They tried everything to stop Esther from haunting hope

Hope was unsure of what was real and what wasn't

Esther had started playing tricks on her mind, masquerading as Josie,  haunting her dreams with visions of torture and torment, and casting other powerful illusions

It left hope a shell of the person she had once been, she hoped,prayed, and dreamed for the day her baby would be born, certain that Esther would leave her alone once her deal expired.

Hope tried painting  to pass the time but Esther would fade the colors on her canvas to grey

Hope then tried reading but the words would jumble creating an impossible anagram

finally she resorted to mind numbing TV shows, but Esther wouldn't allow her even that she would turn the device on and off

Then Esther upped her game by making Hope hear voices,taunting her relentlessly with the voices of those she loved

Hope wanted to turn it all off but she feared if she did that she would give up her unborn child

She was slowly going mad she refused to talk fearing how her family would react if they knew she was seeing and hearing things that weren't there

Sometime she contemplated giving Esther what she wanted, she would get her life back she wouldn't have to feed or feel so many powerful emotions

but she couldn't because she knew the guilt would be overwhelming, she felt like she had some duty to do this like how Hayley kept her but there situations were very different,she knew that.

She did wonder if giving Esther the child was a mercy killing, she would think back on her own 'childhood' she was miserable and different and she hated it

Hope often found herself crying from overthinking

Her family and friends watched her wilt and wither away like a flower out of bloom.

Josie often found herself sad and alone as well going over to the Mikaelson manor every weekend to at least get a glance at hope and make her dinner often putting a letter with it, trying to respect hope's request for space even though she could tell all they both wanted to do was run into each others arms

Josie would cry wandering the halls of the Mikaelson House

Kol would often try to cheer her up by busying her with plans and ideas for a nursery

Josie picked a pretty green and decided to give the room a forest theme painting mushrooms and frog on the wall wishing that hope could come over and do this with her

Freya gave up on sleep searching high and low for anything that could ease her nieces suffering

Keelin tried to occupy herself with work and Nik trying to distract herself from the nightmare that had now become the reality

Marcel and Rebekah tried to put on a brave face for the rest of there family aiding Freya in her search

Davina helped Freya whenever they got a lead otherwise she was trying to calm Josie down or trying to get hope out of bed

There lives had become a nightmare....
