Monster's Daughter (Legacies Fanfic)

Terrors and Tremors

Josie POV

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

Hope shook, trembled and cried in my bed all night, most of her scratches and bites we healed in minutes but she would make more. In the later hours of the night she started yelling and mumbling mostly bits and pieces of conversations. Lizzie and I barely got any sleep, I know that because every time Hope woke her up she made a tired comment like "does your girlfriend have a snooze button" or "Why ride a earthquake simulator when your twin sister's girlfriend has parasomnia or some shit". But Lizzie left around 4 am fed up with being woken up every twenty minutes. 

Hope didn't like it if I tried to move her or held her too loose or too tight. At some points I was afraid she was going to fall off of my bed. I almost called my mom or her aunt but she asked me not to get anyone. I tried siphoning hope around three in the morning but it just made her more scared. I was up all night just trying to be there and make her feel safe. 

Hope started whimpering again but louder. I tried rubbing her shoulder to wake her. So many things rushed through my head wondering if I should get somebody or stay. 

Get somebody.

Stay.

Get somebody

Stay

Get her Help

I peal myself off of Hope and slide on my clothing (because it would be extremely awkward to go down to the main office in just a t-shirt and underwear)

Her teeth chatter and her mumbles become more audible.

I contemplate leaving to get help again fearing that she would wake up.

I decided to stay for a couple more minutes just in case she woke up. I don't want her to be scared and alone because no one is here. but if I hurry....

I grab the doorknob and stand still wondering if I should get help for her now or wait for when she wakes up.

She goes completely quiet and I start to turn the door

And then Hope springs up from her bed wheezing and crying, still in a trance

"Hope" I walk over to her slowly.

She grabs my shoulders and sobs yells "Esther stop it, stop it" 

"Hope it's me" I hold her

"No its not "she sobs lowering her head

"Hope look we are in my bedroom, look" I whisper

She slowly looks up and around my room scanning every detail looking for an error.

She looks back at me and then slides out of bed and looks at my bookshelf searching and scanning.

"What are you looking for" I ask.

"Quiet" she whispers pulling out a book.

I walk over to her watching her flip through the pages 

I stare and she looks up "I needed to make sure it was real" 

"By checking a book" I puzzle

"I've never read that book, Esther would craft illusions and hallucinations from my memories"

"I never knew that" I whisper

"I never told you" She whispers back,letting me hold her
