Her Forever and Always

Dorm Sweet Dorm

~Hopes POV~

After returning to the bus everyone started to load back up to go to the school. Thank god this day is over. I just want to go to my dorm and go to sleep. As we loaded on the bus I took the very last seat in the back hoping no one would talk to me. Of course my hopes were in vain. No other than Lizzie Saltzman sat directly in front of me. "Why are you all the sudden so friendly with my sister Satan?" She said to me with a glare. "Is there a reason I can't be friendly with her?" I snark out. "I don't know what your motives are Satan, but if you fuck with Josie just know, my bite is way worse than my bark." She sneered at me. I simply rolled my eyes and put my headphones in. Who does she think she is. I would never do anything to hurt Josie. After today, I just feel the urge to protect her.. What is happening. The bus finally pulls into the schools gate. Oh thank God. As soon as the bus doors open I shoot off and head towards my dorm. I'm nearly there when a fight catches my attention. I decide to ignore it until I hear a certain siphoners sweet voice and my body goes rigid. "Raf stop he isn't worth it." I decide to stay just in case so I lean against the wall by my door. That's when it happens. As I'm watching I can see Raf getting more and more mad. I start to push off against the wall. The other students need to leave. He isn't safe. And just like that it's too late. Before I can make a move or say a word Josie reaches out to grab Rafael's shoulder and he throws her across the hall. She hits the wall and she doesn't stand back up. My whole world goes black and I can't stop my self. "RAF WHAT DID YOU JUST DO?" Before I can control it I am shedding my clothes and transitioning to my werewolf form charging towards him. He hurt her. I'm going to kill him. No one hurts her. No. One. As I'm charging him I hear her. It comes out pained and quiet but it stops me in my tracks " Hope please no. Don't hurt him." She barely whispers. I immediately turn to her and cock my head to the side. "Please.." She begs me. No. She's scared of me. I shrink my self so I am smaller and slowly approach her. By the time I'm only a foot away I am basically crawling. She stares at me with those big doe eyes and even in my wolf form it brings me so much peace. I simply walk behind her and lay down where her small body is cradled by mine. Everyone is staring at me. A few minutes later Alaric and Lizzie come running towards us. I jump to my feet and begin to growl. No one is gonna hurt her again. I must protect her. My thoughts are interrupted by Alaric. "Hope it's me. Im not going to hurt her. It's okay." I still don't trust him. I let out another warning growl and this time it's her who pulls me from my thoughts. "Hope listen to me. It's okay he is only going to take me to the nurse. You can come okay?" I simply step to the side never taking my eyes off Alaric as he comes to pick up Jo. I follow him to the nurses office never taking my eyes of Josie. After she gets checked out they want to keep her over night. Alaric and Lizzie leave leaving only me and Jo in the room. I watch her until she falls asleep. When I know she's safely asleep I simply curl up at the end of the bed and finally give in to the sleep that's so heavy on my eyes. Just as I'm losing consciousness I hear it as clear as day. I swear I was dreaming. I heard my mother's voice, "She is your epic love little one." And just like that I was completely asleep. Nothing on my mind but the brown haired siphon twin.
