Monstrous (HopeMikaelsonxfem!reader)

Chapter #18

Hope's POV
"Hope, pleeeease! Just go to sleep!" Lizzie says with a tired voice from the couch while I'm pacing around the room nervously.

"I can't..." I respond. We're the only ones up at this hour.

"C'mon Hope, it's almost 2 am! Why aren't you going to sleep?"

"I don't know where Y/n is..." I respond.

"I'm sure she's fine!"

"We don't know that! We have a monster or a killer out there and she's not back!" I say panicking.

"Hey hey hey hey! Calm down." She says walking to me and sitting me down on the couch. "You like her, huh?" She asks with a smirk.

"What?! No! Did you hit your head?"

"Hope Andreea Mikaelson! Don't you dare try to fool me, I know when you're lying and definitely  when you like someone!" She glares at me with a raised eyebrow and I sigh rolling my eyes.

"Ok, fine... I may like her a little bit, but it's just a crush, right? And from what she told me about her ex, I don't compare to her, she was awesome and I'm a freak with glowing eyes and fangs..."

"Why would you say that? You're the most incredible, delightful and gorgeous person I know... after me, of course!" She says and I look at her surprised and confused at the same time.

"Did you just compliment me in the most wonderful way you could?" I ask her.

"No, you're hallucinating! Wait! How do you know about Y/n's ex?"

"We kinda had a heart-to-heart conversation about our ex's..." I mumble looking down.

"Do you even know what that means?!" She exclaims. I look at her confused. "She trusts you! Or at least, I hope she does... Talking about your ex is a big red flag, I think..."

"Lizzie!!! You're making this worse!" I say putting my face in my palms as my elbows rest on my knees.

"That's not true. You know why?" I look at her on the verge of crying. "That means you have a shot!" She says excited.

"Since when are you happy for me?" I ask straightening my back.

"I don't know. Might not last so enjoy it while you can. You need to talk to Y/n!"

"If she's alive..." I say.

"Hope..." She starts then thinks for a moment. "Why don't you do a locator spell to find her?" Lizzie suggests.

"We're not allowed to do magic..." I say.

"And? No one's gonna find out..."

"I know but..." I cut myself off when I hear the front door opening. I jump up and rush to the door where I spot Y/n.

"Y/n, thank god!" I say hugging her.

"Oh, hey!" She says surprised by my actions. "What are you guys doing up so late?" She asks as I pull away from the taller girls embrace.

"We were waiting for you..." I say.

"Actually she w..." Lizzie starts but I cut her off before she could say anything else.

"Where were you?" I ask.

"Just... out with my friends. Sorry if I worried you, I should have called..." She says.

"It's ok." I say

"Well, if you two aren't tired, I'll sleep for both of you." Lizzie says yawning and heading to her room. We watch her leave then I turn to Y/n.
