just you and i (hizzie au)

twelve

lizzie backed away from the new species. she kept a safe distance, even though she didn't want to. she trusted hope, even in her most vulnerable form. "go. malivore's mine." hope sighed carelessly. lizzie found it odd, but she listened. she didn't want to end up like malivore. lizzie ran off. she wasn't ready to see what would happen to ethan, or hope for that matter.

"come out come out wherever you are!" hope grinned. for once it was the other way round. malivore was scared of hope. from behind one of the trains, malivore (ethan) emerged. he was scared but he tried to hide it. "surprise!!" hope smiled even larger. she camped towards malivore. pushing him to the end of the train. he groaned in agony. he got to his feet and attempted to come at hope. "motus!" hope shouted. malivore flew back right to where he started. hope stood there, effortlessly. awaiting malivore's next move.

he stood up, slowly, knowing what was to come. he turned around and ran. attempting to avoid whatever it was hope was planning to do. "but you haven't even seen my wolf form yet." hope smirked. malivore made his way into his former lair. he turned around thinking he escaped the inevitable, only to see an angry white wolf growling behind him. the wolf threw him against the wall inside. hope turned back into her human form.

"have fun dying." hope mocked malivore's words. she took a bite into her wrist, letting her blood ooze into itself, making a sword. she made her way towards malivore, about to stab him with her blood sword but malivore had other plans. "hope?!" ethan yelled. hope took a step back. she gathered her thoughts and finally realised what malivore did. "ethan?" she asked. "is that you?" she confirmed. ethan nodded, confused. "what's going on?" he asked. hope looked down for a moment before locking eyes with ethan again. "malivore." ethan took a step back after finally noticing hope's sword.

there was a moment of silence. neither of them didn't know what to do.

"do it."

"what?"

"get rid of malivore. no matter what it takes."

hope gathered herself. part of her had been awaiting this day since the first monster, another part didn't want to kill ethan. but this is what malivore wanted, isn't it? the two exited the train, before taking a deep breath. "are you sure?" hope asked, tears filling her eyes. "do what you have to do." ethan shut his eyes tight. hope placed the sword carefully above ethan's heart.

hope closed her eyes. she wasn't ready. she couldn't do it. she wasn't going to do it until she felt hands on top of hers pulling the sword towards ethan. she opened her eyes in a rush to see ethan turning into a puddle of goo.

hope didn't know what to do.

author's note: this & the next part are directly after one another. that's why they're all coming so quickly !!
