Always & Howl Forever

Chapter 1

Hope's POV

When I turned 18 , I decided to get my own place, a cabin not far from the Salvatore school.

My mom actually used to live there before she got pregnant with me.

It has a lot of special meaning to me because of that.

I soon moved in, and made the place my own. Luckily it isn't far from the school, so it doesn't take long to get to my cabin and back to the school if I need to.

One Thursday night after a long day of school, and studying, I went home. I was so tired that I fell asleep on my couch.

I woke up at about 1am, to a knock at the door.

I open the door, and am instantly in shock.

This brunette beauty, with georgous hazel eyes is standing in front of me.

Something about her was very familiar.

"Stella, is that you?" I say in complete disbelief.

"Yes, it's me." She replied.

I invite her in.

"How did you find me?" I ask.

"I did a locator spell with a old bracelet you gave me before I left." She tells me with fear in her eyes.

I see tears starting to form.

" Are you ok?" I ask her.

"I need your help." She tells me, with tears rolling down her face.

"What's wrong." I say.

She was very upset, I could tell.

"Come sit down." I tell her, while being very concerned about what she was about to say.

"They are dead, my family is all dead, someone murdered them." She says while sobbing.

I hug her.

While we are hugging I tell her " I'm so sorry, we will find out who did this, I promise."

We stop hugging.

"The weather is pretty bad. You should stay here with me tonight." I tell her.

"Thank you for letting me stay the night." She says.

I was very worried for her, and I knew what it felt like to loose your family.

I also knew what she was capable of, but I could see in her eyes that this was the old Stella I had known and loved.

So I tell her "You're welcome. You can stay longer if you need to."

I didn't want her going back, since the person who killed her family was still out there.

She thanks me.

I then give her some pillows, and a blanket.

"My other bedroom is currently full of boxes, but I will fix it up tomorrow for you." I tell her.

"I better get back to bed, see you in the morning." I tell her.

"Goodnight Hope, I have really missed you." She says.

"Goodnight Stella." I say and then go to my room.

~The next morning~

"Good morning Stella." I say while walking into the kitchen to make coffee.

"Good morning", she says while yawning.

"Did you sleep ok?" I ask.

I knew that with everything going on she probly didn't sleep well.
