Maybe, Maybe Not

Waiting Long Enough

A/N: Hola, I'm trying to write this story the best I can, and as fast as I can because I'm leaving for basic training in 13 days. I am working on two stories so bare with me, please enjoy :)

Hope Pov:

Lizzie and I arrived at the location. As the door flew in, she spells it open. I tie Landon to a tree since I don't want to pull him any longer. "Good boy," I say, tapping him on the nose and smiling as I follow Lizzie into whatever building it was. I began to hear someone clapping as we came closer. The back of his head was turned away from us. He says, spinning around and grinning like the Joker, "It took you long enough tribrid, I was starting to grow bored waiting ."

"Ew," Lizzie gasps as she sees his face. I small chuckle. "Are you supposed to be a Zombie or something?" I says Seriously. "A Zombie?" He says offended, "I am the curse of life and death." he adds. "We can tell," Lizzie adds, her eyes darting up and down at him. I giggle, my hand covering it. "Perhaps you'll find this amusing," he continues, exposing a sleeping Josie hovering over sludge. "Mud?" I exclaim as I dash over to Josie. Only to fly back passing over a certain point. "Did you think it'll be that easy?" Te Necromancer asks, insulted once more.

"What are your intentions with Josie?" Lizzie expresses herself. "Josie?" The necromancer says, visually perplexed. "Oh, right Josie?" he asks, laughing as he recalls the poor girl dangling above the mud. "I don't want anything to do with her," he adds casually. "Then why don't you just let her go?" I ask. He looks at me and says, "I haven't obtained what I wanted yet." "Ah," I remark as I fit the puzzle pieces together. I say, "Josie is bait." "Wise girl," says the Necromancer.

"I shrug my shoulders and say, "Let Josie go, and you can have me." "You've made a sacrifice, she must mean a lot to you." He says this while smiling. "I'm not going to play whatever game you've devised," I declare solemnly. "No fun," he adds, a pout on his face. I yell, "Let Josie go!"
" Spicy, I've been bored recently, so I guess I'm due for some entertainment. And more entertaining then controlling Twin Siphons and a Tribrid? Landon did not disappoint" He says evilly laughing. "Control" Lizzie says, "How silly of me, did I forget to mention the power of the "Mud" He says putting air quotes around Mud. He then explains what the mud was.

"Lizzie, let's give the Mircodancer a round of applause." "That was a fantastic story," I says, as Lizzie clap along with me. He then says sassily, "My name is The Necromancer." Mircodancer, Necromancer, whatever, story time is up" i says putting my right hand on his shoulders and my left hand on his hip. Using my vampire speed and strength and crossing my arm. Splitting his body in half. "I learn that from my father" I wink at Lizzie. Walking over to Josie stopping realizing the building was about to close in on us. The magic that was hanging Josie, disappeared as she falls into the mud. I zoom over to her, putting my whole arm in to pull her out.

While carrying a knocked out Josie, I take Lizzie's arm speeding us out and back to the school. As the building collapses, forgetting and not caring about the chain up Landon, he'll be fine. I thought to myself. Alaric approached Lizzie and I after putting Josie to bed dirty. We walk out of his room after explaining everything to him.

"Hey Hope, do you think Josie will be okay?" Lizzie asks. Considering she was dragged into the abyss?" She inquires, concerned. "After I killed him, his magic and spells stopped operating, causing the capsule to close as well." I'm not really sure, but I insured Lizzie that Josie fell into ordinary mud. Lizzie then says, laughing, "Don't tell anyone I said this, but thank you Hope." "No problem," I respond as I walk away, my mind racing with what-if scenarios.

That night, I couldn't sleep. I found myself in the middle of the woods when I awoke. I have no recollection of anything. When I return to school, I am shocked to see that most of the students are up and working. "What happened to you," Cleo asks, gazing me in the eyes and removing a twig from my knotted puffy hair. "I don't remember," I admitted. "I'm going to take a shower," I answer hastily, hurrying to my room before she can say anything else.

I wanted to check on Josie after my shower, so I knocked on her door but received no response. I turn the doorknob and discover that it is unlocked. I enter and shut the door behind me. I say, "Josie." There was no reply. Soon after, Josie emerges from her bathroom, headphones and towel around her, startled by my unexpected presence. She gives me a look before removing her headphones. I turn around anxiously so I didn't stare at her in a towel.

"Sorry, just checking in on you," I respond earnestly, not wanting to be mistaken for a creep. "It's okay you can turn around Hope," she says as I turn around to find Josie wearing only a bra and underwear. I remark, shallowing hard, "I better get going." "No stay," Josie says as she puts on a shirt. "Sit," she says as she approaches the bed. I take a seat on the edge of the bed. She's only wearing undies and a shirt now. she's smiles . "Thank you for caring so much about me, Hope," she says, "Lizzie told me everything this morning."
"It's no problem, Josie; I'll always protect you," I respond with a smile.

She gives me an innocent smile before bending down and delicately pecking my lips, slightly turning me on, as I recall she is still in her panties. She began to bend back up, and I tugged her down, wanting more, as she sat on my lap and kissed me even more passionately. Her damp hair dripped softly on light jeans.

Josie leaps to her feet as the door opens, and I adjust myself. It displayed a startled Lizzie. "Why are you in" she stops again, then points at me, and then raises her hands up in dislike, gazing between a guilty-looking Josie and me, before walking backwards exiting the room and closing it behind her. We laugh. Josie then kisses me passionately one last time before putting her sweats on. Even though I'm significantly shorter, I stand up and move over to Josie, holding her from behind. I kiss her on the neck and spin her around to face me. Leaving one of my hands her waist. The other one moving her wet hair out of the way.

I suck on her neck, leaving a small but decent size hickey, she moans lightly as I did so. "What are you doing Hope, she says in seductive tone, as I pull away. I wink and walk out after telling her "good luck at practice"

During Mystic Falls Homecoming week, the schools played their final soccer game against each other to determine who would advance to the playoffs.
