Hope | j.black

please, i need your help with this one.

Healing comes in waves, you recover and then you crash. But, I knew what I had to do next, to answer some questions that in reality. I shouldn't go and find the answers too, but I am anyways. Arriving at the Cullen household, knocking on the door as I folded my arms in my leather jacket. I smiled as I was greeted by Carlisle at the door.

"Hope, what a delightful surprise. How can I help you?" He asked, as I gulped.

"Edward and Bella home yet?" I questioned.

"They shouldn't be to far away, come in please." He stepped aside, gesturing me to come inside. Giving him a nod, coming inside. I followed him into the living room space. "Can I offer you something? Water? Juice?" He offered.

"Juice will be amazing, thank you." I said as I placed my hands in my back pockets, hearing fairy steps come into the room. I looked over my shoulder, seeing Alice and Jasper.

"Hope." Alice stopped abruptly, seeing fear in her eyes. Jasper behind her innocently smiled at me.

"You know, don't you?" I raised an eyebrow at her.

"What's going on?" Carlisle questioned, hearing the front door open. Edward yelled out to everyone saying.

"We're home!" He and Bella made his way to the kitchen, Edward and Bella smiled seeing me standing there. Edward picked up on the fact something was going on here. "What's going on?"

"I hope, that Hope is about to fill us in on what is happening." Carlisle folded his arms, as my ears picked up on a secondary heartbeat coming from Bella.

"Hold up." I begun, walking over to my sister. Observing how unwell she looked, her face sunken in and her face even more pale then before. Looking down as I placed my hands on her stomach, feeling a baby bump and the heartbeat. "How-? Is this even possible?" I looked between Bella and Edward, letting my mental guard down for a moment, Edward caught sight into my head.

"That's a long story, but... you want to become the Tribrid?" Gasps filled the room, taking a step back from my sister. I sighed heavily, nodding.

"I feel like, this is the perfect time for it. It feels right, knowing aswell. That I am becoming an auntie, I want the world to be safe and I want the little grommet to be safe." I begun to explain, looking back to Edward. "Please, I need your help with this one."

The room went quiet, it was that quiet it was like I could hear every voice in their heads. Finally, Carlisle looked to Alice as Edward looked to Bella. A heavy sigh filled the room from everyone.

"Where do we begin?" Edward asked, as a small smile grew on my face.

Gathering all the ingredients for the spell to pour over a candle to be lit, sitting on the end of a bed in one of the spare rooms. Edward walked in, alone. "Guess my sister didn't want to send me off?" I tried to make a joke out of it as he sat down beside me.

"Well, she's pregnant. Don't want to put anymore pressure on her." I nodded understandingly. "Are you sure about this?"

"I am sure, I know this is right." I said confidently. "Shall we begin?" Edward nodded, facing his body more towards me. He lit the candle on the bedside table, bringing me into a hug. He whispered the Latin phrase to stop my heart, closing my eyes as I felt my heart beat slow down. Feeling the distant touch of him laying me down, my heart came to a complete stop. Feeling darkness absorb me, I was soon greeted by light.

The sound of a city band and a bright light made me open my eyes, blinking multiple times as I sat up. Observing my surrounding and the smells around me aswell, I was far from forks. I could tell, I was in a bar, it was very open and spacious. Empty.

"Where the hell am I?" I asked myself, pushing myself up to my feet. Looking around at the artworks on the walls and the statues of ancient artefacts, I jumped in my skin as a voice popped up behind me. A sickening familiar voice.

"Hope Swan." Turning around to face the man, I held in a sharp breath as I saw who it was.

"Eric?" I looked at him in shock.

"Nice to finally meet you, little wolf."
