We'll Be Fine

Chapter Eight: I Will Not Bow

Hope's POV: 

Woah, my senses are on fire. I can locate exactly where Malivore is just be listening to the sound of his steps. I grabbed the blade from Dr. Saltzman and now I'm going to end this once and for all. Malivore has terrorized us for three years. He has taken people from us that we can't get back.

Landon, the Phoenix, was now Malivore himself. It makes sense seeing as he is his son. I could see Landon coming and I knew this would be harder than I thought. I was friends with Landon, he became a part of our group, he was one of us and I have to put him down. I told you, Malivore will take everything.

"Ah the almighty Tribrid, Hope Mikaelson. We meet at least. I'm Malivore and this is my son's body. He was always meant to be my vessel. To kill me, you have to your friend here." He said laughing as he knew that they kind of made it a little harder. I need to gain control of my emotions before I can't.

"You think this is a game Malivore!? I have lost everything because of you. I had to literally died to stop you and now I will never be able to return here again after you are long gone. You did this for what?! To say that you made the Tribrid fully active?! That she lost everything and everyone she loves because of you?! You can't stop me!." I yelled. This was rage, the uncontrollable, undeniable rage burning and I was seconds for snapping.

"I eat monsters like you for breakfast." He said with a smirk. I laughed. "There is no monster like me." I said. He obviously didn't like that and ran towards me. I was able to trade places with him before he noticed. "That's all you've got? Come on!! You're Malivore, show me why I should fear you at all!" I yelled as I shoved him hard. I knew this was going to set him off seeing as I'm basically bullying him but still. I spent so much time being afraid of all of these and now I don't. Now that I think about it, I don't feel anything.

Malivore charged me, trying his hardest to even come close to me. I was too fast. I honestly was getting bored so I snuck up behind him, grabbing his neck and slamming him back into the ground. I knew that had to hurt seeing as it shook the entire ground. I could see a few people come out. Freya, Rebekah, Dr. S, Lizzie and Josie. I could sense that all of their hearts were racing. It was all I could hear. Two were breaking, two were panicking and one was terrified. I need to block it out.

I grabbed the dagger from my waistline and buried it inside of Landon's chest. I felt it, I felt the switch turn off. I was afraid of this. My humanity is shutting off. "No!" I yelled as I hit the ground hard. I fought it for as long as I could but it was like complosion, you will never win. All of my emotions left just like that and I was numb. I was well aware that this could happen and I had the funniest feeling that it would.

I got back on my feet and as soon as I looked up, Lizzie and Josie were looking at me while my aunts looked terrified. Dr S knew and he knew there was nothing he could do for me right now. "Hope.. is that you?" Lizzie asked, stepping into the grass to come towards me. I felt something, it was like I was fighting for my humanity. I wasn't going to win but I wasn't going to stop trying.

"Don't Lizzie. That isn't Hope anymore. Her humanity is gone. Look at her eyes. You can see it." Dr. S said as Lizzie ignored him. "Lizzie don't." He tried again but she didn't stop. Josie slowly followed her. "Hope.. it's me. You know me, remember? Please tell me you remember." She said almost pleading. I nodded my head and she got the answer.

She kept coming towards me and the closer she got, the more I wanted to run. I can't stay here. "I'm sorry for what I'm about to do. Please don't hate me. I'll come back someday." I said loud enough for everyone to hear. I did a silent sleeping spell that would only last about 30 minutes. Malivore and Landon are dead, everyone is safe and I'm on the run.
