Endless Lines

More Mikaelsons?

Chapter 4

"What is it?" Jo asked, giving the auburnette her look of concern.

Hope shook her head, not wanting to share her opinion. "Come on, I know its something." Jo nudged.

The auburnette sighed "Its just weird, how havent I heard of him before? Something about him...I just dont trust it"

"Why dont you call your dad about it?"

"I did, he said it was true and that was it."

Jo shrugged "Then whats still bugging you?"

"A feeling.." Hope tapped her chest, looking to Jo worringly. "Something bad"

"What do you want to do about it?" She asked, ready to back the auburnette up. "Research"

They walked through the library, going through the Mikaelson section. Hope didn't particularly like reading about her family, the books would always be bias. Exclusively from one perspective, Alarics. She asked him to get rid of them one time but he said it was better if the students knew all about what they were getting themselves in to. Sometimes she wondering if he had hidden animosity for her.

They read a few books, Ambrose name had come up about a few times but Hope could've sworn she hadn't seen his name before in the previous times she read about her family.

"What are you guys doing?" He asked, appearing from nowhere. Hope looked up, Jo doing the same. Just then Hope tossed him the ball of truth, something she used on Landon a long time ago. "How old are you?" She asked, Jo gave her a curious look.

"Whats this for?" He asked back, looking at the small orb in his hand. "You cant lie, not with that" She looked to it before looking back up at him. "I knew you still didnt trust me, I hope this earns some of your trust back"

"So how old are you?" She asked again, awaiting the answer. "100" He admitted, the ball turned blue, which meant he wasnt telling a lie.

"What are you doing here?"

He looked to the ball before looking back at her. "To meet you and Liam" Blue once again, she nodded.

"Why'd you lie to my dad about your age?" Jo cut in, giving him a curious look. "Because he wouldnt have let me in to this school otherwise"

Blue.

"Why are we just now hearing about you?"

"Hope! What are you doing?" Li took the orb from Ky's hand. "Are you really interrogating him?"

"Are you really not?" The auburnette raised her brows, standing from her seat in the library and shutting the book infront of her. "Apparently, this man is 100 years old"

"Okay? People lie, we've lied for years about our last name. How is this any different for him?"

"We did it for a good reason"

Liam shook his head "He probably has a good reason too, sis. Hes family, you need to remember that"

Hope grabbed the book off the table, setting it back on the shelf before leaving the library. She hated being told what to do or how to do something definitely by her little brother.

She walked in to her room, completely forgetting her boyfriend who was still asleep, he jumped up to the sound of the room door slightly slamming.

"Hey, Hope are you okay?" He asked, moving the covers off himself. She jumped on him, knowing he was still naked. "Fuck me" She demanded.

He smirked, two times in less than 24 hours. "You must've liked your—"

She pushed her hand against his mouth "Shut up"

Within minutes he was inside her again, a knock erupted at the door. Hopes head turned at the sound of it opening, realizing she had forgotten to lock it she slammed it shut with her magic. "Who is it?" She asked, rolling off the boy and falling to the floor. THUD.

"It's Jo but I can come back at some other time"

Hope pulled her clothes off the ground, throwing Ethan his. Seriously? He mouthed, she nodded. "No you're fine!" She yelled to her best friend. Running to the door and slipping out.

The brunette looked her over. "Was I interrupting anything?" Jo asked.

"What are you talking about?"

"Your shirts inside out, your makeups a mess and you slammed the door in my face. Did I.." She cleared her throat which had suddenly tightened "Intrude on something?"

Hope shrugged "What did you need me about?"

The brunette sighed, she felt a ping of sadness. As if she lost something that she hadn't even gained. "Invisique" She mumbled, moving her wrist over them.

"What are you doing?"

"Trusting you and your gut." She held her hand out for the Mikaelson, letting Hope grab it for herself before she dragged her along.

The auburnette smiled to herself, drowning in all Josie Saltzman had to offer. "So hes a Vampire, from Kol Mikaelson. That would mean he'd also have to be a witch" Jo walked in to the kitchen where they'd find Ky. Her hand was starting to sweat intertwined with Hopes but she just ignored it. She even ignored the feeling she got in her chest.

"So I asked MG to start a fight with him" I looked over, watching MG walk in to the kitchen.

"So you're one of the infamous Mikaelsons" He puffed his chest up, trying to seem more threatening. "And what about ?" He asked, opening a blood bag.

"I dont like Mikaelsons" He coughed out, running at the boy only to be thrown over the counter, slamming into the table.

"MG!" Jo reluctantly let go of Hopes hand, dropping the spell and running over to her friend.

The auburnette stood there with her arms crossed. "I knew you were there" He said, giving her that same blank look as always. "Next time, dont try and have one of your minions play fight with me. I understand you dont like me Hope but I'm done sucking up to your bullshit" He pushed his shoulder in to hers, leaning into her ear. "I can end you in a matter of seconds. I'm older, I'm faster, I'm more advanced and I'm smarter. I'm not afraid of you"

She looked over her shoulder at him leaving. Maybe he was a Mikaelson.

"You alright MG?" She asked, watching him stand up. "Yeah" He groaned.

"What did he say?" Jo asked, running over to the girl. "I believe him" The auburnette shrugged. "Are you sure?"

"Yeah" She nodded, she knew apart of her still didnt believe him. Didnt like him but she needed Jo off the trail, actually she wanted to finish this on her own.

"Lizzie-" Hope froze infront of the blonde, they havent talked in a few days. Managing to avoid eachother for a good while.

"Hope...Uh.."

Jo looked between the two, feeling the awkward energy. "Is there something going on between the two of you?"

"No" They said in unison. "Then why are you—"

"I got to go—-MG and I are studying for a test"

"Yeah, same Ethan and I—yeah"

Jo was left standing there, confused. What just happened?

"Are you just going to be in my room all day? Dont you have anything else better to do?!" Hope asked, yelling at the boy. He furrowed his brows "As your boyfriend I could have something better to do but other than that no"

"Get out, Ethan" She huffed, opening the door for him. He frowned "You ditched me for Jo then you come back and kick me out? If I didnt know you two any better I'd thin—"

"Goodnight" She shut the door infront of his face, tiredly plopping on to her bed. Only to be left staring at the ceiling.

Everything was so exhausting.
