Betrayed Hearts

Alaric's Betrayal Pt. 1

A/N: There will be 2 parts to this, the first being his betrayal to Josie. The second will be his betrayal to Lizzie, but I won't write that one till later.

Josie POV:

Every day I see the same face I've hated for over a year. The only escape being on the weekends. I used to live with Alaric and my mom, but after what he's done, mom kicked him out. But I still have to see him at school. He's my principle, and he makes sure I don't forget that. 

I know I shouldn't let him get to me anymore, but he was my father. He shouldn't have done what he did. I hate him so much. But he still finds ways to hurt me. 

I walk into school, to see him standing in front of my locker. He sees me and smirks, I can already tell he's drunk. He knows I can smell it off of him, seeing as he's the reason I'm technically not alive.  As I walk up to him and move him out of my way, I remember what he did. 

Flashback:

(Warning, Alaric is abusive in this part, and he says homophobic things, I'll su it up and bold it when he's done).

Me and Finch are studying in my room when I feel her hand on my leg. We end up kissing, things start escalating when someone barges into my room. It's dad. He starts screaming. 

"What the FUCK Josette! I can't believe you! How dare you become a DYKE!"

"DAD! I've been this way; I didn't become what I am! And you can't say that word."

"Do I look like I give a fuck what I can and can't say! And no, you did become this way. It's all this Fags fault! She corrupted you, didn't she!" I can feel tears falling down my face. I' scared, shaking, I can't lose control in front of Finch. I can't lose her. That's when I see her move in front of me.

"How dare you insult her like that! Leave before I kill you myself!" Dad chuckles menacingly, then lunges at Finch. She tries to fight him off, I try to help her, but there's nothing for me to siphon. I feel completely helpless. I'm yelling for him to stop, but he doesn't. Soon she stops fighting back, her body looks- lifeless. No. NO. She can't be dead. She's alive, she just needs help. 

I run at Alaric, I push him off her and he falls onto his back. He seems surprised, so while he's distracted, I get off him and fall to Finch's side. She's not breathing. I try to find her pulse, but there isn't one. I'm so distracted by Finch; I forget about Alaric. He kicks me in my side, and I fall to my back. He starts punching me too. That's when mom comes home with Lizzie. Mom immediately smelt the blood and vamped upstairs and into my room. She throws Alaric into the wall and pulls me into her. I'm sobbing, everything hurts.

That's when Lizzie comes running in. She screams when she sees the state of it all. Mom gives me her blood so that I'll heal, once she does, I feel better. I hear groaning and look over to Alaric. He's slowly trying to stand up, holding his side.

"How dare you help that DYKE!" He screams. I look away, finding Finch on the ground. I pull mom closer. Blocking out everything. That is, until I feel mom let go. I look to see her neck broken. He comes up to me and says, "If I can't kill you, I'll make sure you live with this forever." He then breaks my neck. Everything goes dark.

End of trigger warning: Basically, Alaric was homophobic, beat-up Finch, killing her. Then Caroline tried to save Josie, but got her neck snapped, then Alaric broke Josie's neck out of anger.

I woke up, outside of a house, I remember seeing a picture of it. It was Josette Laughlin's childhood home. My bio mom. I hear someone's voice, and when I turn around, I see her. She looks so much like me. She looks like the picture Alaric has.

"Josie? No, this isn't your time. You're sixteen. What happened?"

I told her everything, she seemed so angry. She told me about her childhood, told me stories that she kept close to her heart, she told me the story when she found out Luke and Liv were her siblings. She told me about Luke. Then, I heard footsteps behind me. I turned to see the people she described. Her siblings that died on that horrible day, and Luke and Olivia, the only other two that survived that day.

"Hi kiddo, we've been watching you this entire time. I do have to say, I won the bet. I have the best gaydar in the afterlife." Luke says with a smile. I give him a hug and laugh a bit. I give them all a hug, then they disappear, leaving my bio mom. I look at her confused, but she gives me a warm smile. 

"I know you just got here, and I know you're going to have a hard time back in the living world, but like I said before, you are too young to die. None of us here lived long enough, we don't want the same for you. So please, live enough lifetimes for all of us." I gave her a hug, closed my eyes, and woke up. 

Mom and Lizzie were holding me, tear stains on their faces. I look around not seeing Alaric. Mom, seeing me looking, tells me they kicked him out. Then, Lizzie slowly hands me a blood bag. I look at them both and they nod. So, I drink.

End Of Flashback.

"Now that's no way to treat your father, Josette." 

"You stopped being my father a year and 2 months ago. The day you killed me and Finch."

"Are you still mad about that? I was just teaching you a lesson."

"Well, I didn't learn it. And now I hate you. So, if you'll excuse me Alaric, I need to head to class."

"You call me Alaric, but your last name is still Saltzman."

"It isn't actually, on mine and Lizzie's 17th birthday, we legally changed our last name to Forbes."

"You forget, Josette. You are still 16 and will always be 16."

"But birthdays still pass, I may not age, but the numbers will keep going up. I do need to live enough lifetimes for 8 people who died too young."

"So, that's who you saw in the afterlife, then. You saw the Parker family."  

"Just another luxury you'll never have. Your dead wife wasn't exactly happy about the way I died. Just so you know." He looks shocked. But he shouldn't. 

I walk away, with a smirk on my lips. Because I know, he was hoping to see her again when he died, but the only people waiting for him are his enemies. But hey, now that I think of it, maybe he will see the parker family. They were pretty mad to hear about what he did. 

A/N: I hope you enjoyed. I promise it will be a hosie story, I just had to get these introductions out of the way.
