The Michealson Twin

Intrusion

"Are you seeing what I'm seeing?" I asked Hope still staring at Joe.

"If you're seeing Joe too, then yes." Hope replied in shock.

I looked away from Joe and turned around facing the car, "Okay, so I'm not going insane."

"Or maybe we're both going insane."

"Not likely." 

I was about to say something else when Alaric burst out the front doors. "Faith! My office! Now!"

I turned back around looking straight at Alaric with a stern face, "I'm not your student anymore Alaric, you can't boss me around." I stated using my magic to lift Hopes bags off the ground. "I'm here to help my sister, your problems are really irrelevant to me at this point."

I walked up the steps passing by him refusing to even look at him as I did. I was about to walk up the stairs when he quickly yelled from behind me, "This issue could affect everyone at this school, including your sister!"

I stoped and took a deep breath debating what I should do. I rolled my eyes then turned on my heels looking Alaric straight in the eyes. "Fine." I said walking quickly to his office where I saw MG passing by, I threw Hopes bags at him causing him to stumble back. "Be useful and take those to Hopes room." 

I was walking down the hallway to Alaric's office when he said calmly behind me, "You know you can't be mad at us forever."

I turned around to him walking towards him, leaving only a small space between our faces. "I can be mad at you as long as I want to, you don't get to make any more choices for me or MY life."

I walked through the door leading to Alaric's office plopping myself on the couch/chair. I watched as He walked in closing the door behind him. He sat at his desk looking at me with a look that was hard to decipher. I looked into his mind but instead of its normal planning or clear disappointment, it was something I've never seen from him. Memories, memories of him and Joe. I could feel the love they had for each other, moments when Alaric smiled bigger than I had ever seen him smile. I felt the pain he had felt when Joe died right in front of his eyes.

I was deep in his memory at this point when I had to find my way out before I started feeling anymore of his pain. When I snapped out of the memory I realized a tear was rolling down my cheek, I quickly wiped it away before looking up at Alaric who now had a clear expression of worry.

"Look, I know you're mad at me, and you have every right to be after I did what I did to you without further proof. But do you think you could put this behind us and forgive me?"

"Your right I am mad at you, and I will not be forgiving you. Because of your idiot mistake now I have so much more to worry about because I had to leave school grounds, find a safe place to live, and deal with the constant people trying to kill me and the people I love so thank you for that."

"Faith I know I messed up! But your petty grudges aren't important when we are dealing with dead people coming back to life! You're a Hell-Fire and your the only one who could possibly do something like this!"

I was about to yell back at him but then realized he wasn't worth my energy or breath. "I should have known," I said getting up from my seat. "You didn't just want my help, you were going to blame me for this too. You know what Alaric, save your meaningless apologies they don't mean crap. If you want my help here it is."

I flicked my wrist inchating a simple teleportaion spell as I did causing Joe to appear in front of me. She looked around clearly confused about how she got here, she then turned to look at me. I stuck my hand in her chest tearing her beating heart out causing her lifeless body to fall to the floor. Her heart was covered in a black liquid that was much thinner than blood. Alaric yelled as he watched Joe die in front of him once more, but for once I didn't feel his pain. 

"Problem solved," I said emotionless. "This is necromancer magic, if I were you I'd stop blaming me for everything and deal with the killing machine you have on your hands." 

After that, I turned around and walked out of the office leaving Alaric alone with Joe's body. As I was walking out I saw Lizzie running towards the office with a worried look. I stuck my arm out in front of her causing her to stop, "I wouldn't go in there if I was you." I said trying to keep her from a heartbreaking experience.

"Don't tell me what to do!" she yelled pushing my arm down, out of her way.

"Okay. don't say I didn't warn you." I said continuing to walk towards the exit. 

As I walked out the door I heard Lizzie's screams, she didn't listen and now she put herself in a heartbreaking experience. I tried to prevent it. I tried to fight the urge to be heartless, but something came over me, or rather someone.

I walked out to the car and grabbed my phone texting Derek that I would be taking longer than expected, after that, I threw my phone in the backseat and started to drive away to a secret place I hadn't been to in a while.

*************************************

I made it to a house where I started to bang on the door. "Bonnie! open up!" I yelled angrily.

I heard footsteps on the other side of the door and then the sound of the lock being undone. The door opened to reveal the tired face of Bonnie. I didn't wait for her to invite me in but instead walked right inside down the hall and into her living room. I looked around a bit until Bonnie came into the living, clearly a bit upset at my intrusion. 

"So how did you do it?" I said while crossing my arms. "How were you able to get into my head?"
