Monster's Daughter (Legacies Fanfic)

Quiet Morning

Josie and I cuddle on her bed for what feels like hours. I glance at her alarm clock.

"School starts soon we should get ready" I mumble

"Maybe we should but I don't want to let you go" She holds me to her chest

"I'm sorry if I scared you" I mumble "I shouldn't have bothered you, you look like you didn't get any sleep."

"Hope Mikaelson are you saying I look tired" She teases

"No, I'm just saying the bags under your eyes are so big that they wouldn't fit in a carry on," I chuckle

She laughs

"Then I would have to wait for you in luggage check then they would tell me that you have to go in the baggage compartment" I yawn 

"Then I would have to pay like five hundred in fees so I could take you then I would be stuck next to lizzie and she would annoy me the whole way and I would only get through it because of my water bottle full of blood. Then Lizzie would accidently grab my water bottle instead of hers and drink it. Then she would spit it out which would cause the other passengers to freak out then we have a guy on the plane who claims to be a doctor is intubating lizzie." I shrug and Josie is laughing so much she is practically in tears 

"That is extremely painful by the way, and then she is rushed to the hospital just to be told there is nothing wrong. Then I have to explain to your parents how this happened. Alaric would say something like "WHY DID YOU BRING BLOOD ON A PLANE" and  Caroline would worry and say "Where is Josie", and then Josie I would have to explain how your eyebags were so big we had to put you in the baggage compartment." I dramatically sigh causing her to laugh louder 

"Then Caroline and I would have an awkward car ride to the airport and and then we would wait by baggage pick up and wait for you to come across the conveyor belt, of course we missed you a couple of times but in the end we did get you" I shrug

She wipes her eyes and tries to stop laughing. I kiss her forehead "That is why you need sleep"

"Ok, ok" I promise to take a nap later she smiles

"Where did Lizzie go" I glance at her bed "She wouldn't leave just because I stayed over"

"She left after you started sleep talking" Josie hesitates

"What did I say" My face glows red

Josie laughs "Nothing it was just gibberish" She strokes my hair

"Thank everything that is holy" I sigh

We lay in silence for a moment

"What did you do all day....when you stayed in bed?" She asks calmly

"I tried painting at first its what I did when I was lonely but the colors would fade when they hit the canvas, reading and watching TV was impossible when you have your dead grandmothers ghost nagging you like a small child who wants to play on your phone." I chuckle "I just tried to stay in my head, in reality I was laying in bed but in my head I was Hope the fearless pirate who's searching for a place to call home or at least hide away, I would travel the world protecting people and fighting others" I explain

I look up to see Josie almost in tears

" No-no it wasn't bad, it was like a never-ending day dream it sometimes it even felt so real. I could ignore Esther and live even though I locked myself in my room" I try to explain

She nods 

"Hope, Lizzie left the room last night because you were yelling and shaking " She strokes my hair now staring at the ceiling 

"I'm sorry-" I start

 "Hope please do not sugarcoat how bad it was, I can handle how bad it was, I can handle your night terrors, and I can handle crazy but not lying hope" She whispers, tears from her eyes.

"Ok" I whisper after a moment
