The Darkness is Coming. [Hosie]

Chapter 4

Chapter 4

(Penelope's POV)

Hope had walked up to me and Finch and asked why we were upset with her or spited by her which annoyed me. "Oh, come on Hope, Let's not beat around the bush here, we both know for years that you and Josie have something between you. It's the reason all her relationships fail....you." I was angry as when I was with Josie, she always put Hope first.

(Hope's POV)

I'm confused by what Penelope's saying. Yes, I care for Josie, and I liked her when we were 14 but she never really showed any interest and has just been there as a good friend. "What? me and Josie are just good friends Penelope. And she's hanging out with me more right now because of what you did for that matter." I knew I had been feeling something for Josie since Penelope hurt me, but I still hadn't realized it was a fact I might like her. "You really are clueless. I mean couldn't Landon have been there for you instead of Josie, the only one that could bring her back from her dark side was you. I've seen the way you both look at each other. Now Finch is going to suffer the same fate as I did." I was getting annoyed with Penelope because I still mainly see Josie as just a friend. "Penelope your being ridiculous. And either way that's no reason to throw me into the damn lake." "I don't trust you at all Mikaelson." she said as she was noticing Landon on his way in and probably hearing some of this conversation. Josie was yet to make her way out of my room yet. And I heard Penelope's tone get louder and I stepped back a step trying to avoid a physical conflict. "Seems like the mighty Tribrid is backing off from me." She kept teasing me as she was noticing Landon wasn't impressed with me. And Josie was starting to come around the corner. I felt very pressured and didn't know what to do so I just blurted out and said, "At least I didn't stoop low enough to almost drowning someone."

(Josie's POV)

I heard arguing and decided to see what happened. I saw Hope getting bullied by Penelope and I snapped as I used my magic to pin her against the wall. Hope turned her head towards me after seeing Penelope fly up against the wall and she shouted at me "Josie?! Stop it!" "No. she doesn't get to treat you like this" I had anger in me and hadn't put her down yet. Everyone was starting to see just how far I would go for Hope. Hope came over to me and put her hand softly on me. "Josie stop! You're going to hurt her this isn't you!" I wanted to continue, that dark part of me was somewhere deep inside still and I only stopped when I felt Hopes contact. She let go of me after I dropped Penelope. I saw eyes on me everywhere and I just wanted to cry. I didn't want to lose control but when I saw Hope getting treated like that, I just lose it. Hope could tell all the staring was getting to me. I guess from her own personal experience, and I think she noticed Landon looking at her, but she ignored it and just took me to her room for the moment and she shut the door behind us, and I sat down on her bed. I wouldn't talk at least not in front of everyone, and I hated that my own Girlfriend couldn't even stand up for me she never supported me. "I'm a monster" I said breaking the silence between me and Hope who had sat down next to me. "Josie you are in no way a monster. If anything, they are. Plus, if I hadn't gone to confront them none of this would've ever happened. I didn't know how Hope could find a way to blame it on herself in this situation, but she did. "This is in no way your fault Hope." "I know you don't think so, but it is." I can tell by her facial expression she still feels like it's entirely her fault. 'Hope you helped me when no one else would, not even my own Girlfriend tried to defend me. I feel like you're the only one who understands or cares about me." "Josie. You're an amazing person and friend anyone who ignores that is not worth your time." I blushed and a tear fell down my face as I heard what Hope was saying. I don't know how I got so lucky. "I don't deserve you." Hope saw the tear fall down my face and wiped it away with her thumb. "I'm always here like you are or have been for me. Whether I accepted it at the time or not." "Do you mind if I stay here with you tonight Hope...? I don't mind sleeping on the floor. I don't want to deal with my sister or Finch right now..." I look at Hope and was starting to think how she could get any more beautiful. "Yes, Josie that's totally fine. But there's no way I'm letting you sleep on the floor. And there's no way I'm letting you say no to getting the bed instead of me." "Where are you going to sleep? I'm not letting you sleep on the floor either especially in your own room." I felt more comfortable around Hope than Finch for some reason that I couldn't quite place. "I'll figure it out but I'm not taking No for an answer and letting you sleep on the floor." "Ok Alpha I'll come to bed." I didn't mean it to sound like it did but that was the case potentially to Hope. She seemed to have a very small almost not noticeable reaction to what I had said. But once I was on her bed, I saw Hope in a comfy chair in her room. I felt bad because it was me on her bed. And not her. "Come lay down with me I don't want you sleeping over there." "It's ok. I'm fine here and my beds not really meant for two." I could tell Hope didn't want to make me feel bad after what happened, and she seemed like she was feeling something but couldn't place it. "Stop being silly and just come to your own bed. I'm not going to take no for an answer either." I was trying to use Hope's own words against her to try and get her to give in. She seemed hesitant but I think she knew I wouldn't stop until she said yes so, a few moments later she gave in and came over and laid down in bed. "Good." I said while instantly feeling more comfortable with Hope being next to me as there was some sort of connection with her, she would soon understand in the next day or two.

(Hope's POV)

Later that night while Josie was still asleep, I decided to get up and go get a snack from the kitchen but to my surprise Landon was there....

Hey guys there's a cliff hanger What do you guy's think is going to happen next. I really hope you like the story so far and I'm honestly happy I was able to get myself up to writing again the news from Kaylee and a few other things that week really put me on a mental and motivational block. But I'm happy to be back and should still be posting one chapter a week unless school gets in the way cause I start this coming Monday. Also sorry for the kinda short chapter I think the next one may be longer I'm not sure yet.
