Start Running

Steven's POV

"Don't you just love death," I say to Hope. "What do you want with me," She says. I laugh and walk up to her. "Your death," I say putting my hands on her shoulders. I start siphoning from her shoulders to make her weak. "Stop Steven that hurts," she says trying to get out of my grip. "Oh Hope that's the point," I say stilling siphoning. Once she was close to falling, I grabbed her arm and started pulling her out the room. I pull her into the hall and walk down it with her still with me. I turned around so that when the Twins comes out the room, they see me killing Hope.

Josie's POV

I wake up with an extremely bad headache. I walk over to Lizzie and start shaking her. She wakes up after a couple of minutes.

"Lizzie come on, we gotta find Hope," I say to her. We both walk out the room and see them both. Steven was holding her hostage. "Steven don't hurt her," Lizzie says. 

His eyes turn red and veins crawl from the bottom of his eyelids. He moves Hope's hair out of the way and gets close to her neck. I can see his teeth. He bites into her neck and start drinking. 

"NO," I yell as he drank from Hope. He stops with his eyes wide. He starts coughing while hold the wall. "Vervain," he says as he falls to the ground unconscious. Hope falls also, from blood lost. 

I look ahead and see a woman standing their with her hand up as if she was casting a spell. "Did you turn her blood into vervain," I ask but she vamp speeds away. Lizzie and I run up to Hope. I could heart her heartbeat so she was still alive. "Hope wake up," I say but she didn't wake. 

Still trying to wake I see a figure moving. Steven was getting up. Lizzie and I jump and moved to the wall. He was weak, He could barely walk straight.  He starts walking up to us. I think he wanted blood so he'd get his strength back.  

Me and Josie move fast. He started siphoning his self. He start to desiccate from siphoning because he was already weak. He falls to the ground with his skin looking grey and veins all over his body.

Dad put his body in a coffin for now inside of a locked room. Lizzie and I ended up waking Hope and everything was alright for now. Well except I still have the same headache.
