Endless Lines

Possessed

Chapter 16

They opened the doors, leaving the two girls alone.

"Jo." Hope mumbled. The girl picked her up by her shirt effortlessly. She frowned, she couldnt hurt Jo even if she wanted to. Something between them changed the moment she died.

She didnt speak, her mouth didnt move. Her hand landed a brutal punch to Hopes face, draining her magic in the process. Blood spat out from her mouth as she fell to the ground, crawling backwards she held her hand out. "Jo, fight this. You're strong I know you can win. You have to fight for me. I refuse to hurt you."

She growled, attempted to step on the girl but she spread her legs doing a spin in order to stand back up. "Jo, come on now. You know me. Its Hope"

She blocked the girls hits, moving back with every hit. She was moving faster than a human could but Hope was quicker. She moved behind the brunette wrapping her arm around the girls neck. She leaned in to her ear. "I wont hurt you."

It was as if she was talking to herself, the brunette threw the girl over her. The auburnette landed harshly on her back. A knife came straight for her face. She held her arms in-front of her stopping it from connecting with her skin. "Jo, please just listen to me!" Hope pleaded, staring in to the girls eyes. "I know you dont really want to kill me. I'm your bestfriend. You once said I owned your whole heart."

She pushed the girl up, moving out of the way. She stood back up, standing infront of the girl. "Fight ! I know you're in there." She yelled, the brunette didn't even stop for a second. She ran at her, the knife still in her hand. Hope moved to the side causing the brunette to ram into the wall. THUD.

She turned around, pissed. A gun dropped from the ceiling. Hopes eyes widened "Come on !" She groaned, running for the gun before the brunette could.

But they reached it at the same time, the brunettes hands clasped around the gun as Hope kept them pinned down. "I really dont want to be shot today."

"Give up !" The random person shouted from the other side of the door. Not only was Hope holding back but this was a lose lose battle.

The brunette lifted up the gun with full force, knocking Hope aside in the process. She hissed as the gun collided with her chin. Knocking her to the floor.

"STOP!" The person shouted from behind the door, the gun Josie held was pointed directly at Hope. "I'm giving you the chance of free will, Mikaelson. Take it. Or I'll have her shoot you in the head and I'll just take it against your will"

"You have no idea what free will is"

She reached for the gun, taking it out of the brunettes hand and aiming it for the door. She shot it, breaking the glass of the door just as the person ran away. She went to go chase after them but Josie had tackled her to the ground. They were now wrestling for the gun that Hope had dropped.

The auburnette groaned, her finger tips barley grazed the gun. Josie was using all her new found strength to keep her from retrieving it. She was utterly stunned when the brunette jammed the knife into her side. She yelped, reaching to pull it out.

When she looked up the gun was pointed back at her.

"Wait ! Wait !" Hope held her hands out. "Dont do this, I know how guilty you'll feel. I care about you Jo. You're feelings are really important to me" The brunette froze, her eyes switched between black a brown and Hope knew exactly how to get her back.

"You're my anchor." Hope spoke, admitting something she promised herself she wouldnt. "I love you, Jo"

Her gun fell, her eyes changed to their chocolate brown and Hope felt relieved. "Weak !" The masked assailant threw her aside, picking the gun up. Jo yelled, assuming he was going to shoot the auburnette but instead he pointed it at her.

Hopes heart dropped. "Give me what I want. Or i'll shoot her." He threatened.

"Okay, okay." Hope stood up, her hands in the air. "Just—don't hurt her."

"Hope, don't" Jo warned, they're eyes met. Hopes were like glass. She would never put Josies life in jeopardy. "I'm sorry" She apologized to the brunette.

"Finally" The assailant sighed with relief, he would finally get what he wanted.

"But I cant let you have my magic" She finished, her eyes closed. The build up she had inside her she let go. Sending the masked assailant flying through the double doors. Jo watched, her eyes only seeing blue , the color of Hopes magic.

The auburnette blinked, glancing over to see if the brunette was okay. And once she was, her body fell lump. The last thing she could remember was the cold hospital floor.

"They have been gone for a while, we should probably go find them" Liam pointed out. "What if they're getting freaky" Penelope pointed out with a shrug.

"My sister and Hope?" The blonde scoffed. "Not in a million years ! Lets go find them"

"Wait, I'm sure they're fine. There is no reason to go and bother them" Theo looked around. "Plus if they needed us, they'd yell"

"THEO !" His eyes widened at the sound of his name echoing throughout the cold building. "I think you spoke too soon" The ravenette flipped her hair, looking in the direction of the scream.

Theo was already down the hall, Liam right on his trail. "Why didnt we hear Hope? Why didnt I hear her voice?!" He panicked, his wolf speed kicking in as he slid around the corner. Theo was hot on his trail, the twins and Penelope shortly behind them.

"Whos that?" Penelope pointed out the guy dressed in all white, a white mask, white armor. He looked to be unconscious against the wall. "No time to question, wheres Hope?!" Liam looked to the double doors, shoving them open. Penelope watched the three walk inside, her focus was on the assailant before her.

"Yeah, you guys go ahead! I'll catch up" She shouted, knowing none of them had cared. She bent down to his level, nudging his arm to make sure he was actually unconscious. "Hello..?" She mumbled, waving her hand across his face. No movement.

She reached for his mask, attempting to tug it off. Right before she was able to reveal who it was he sent her flying through the same double doors everyone ran through. She collided with the blonde twin, the both of them harshly flew back on to the floor.

"What the fuck was that?" The blonde rubbed her head.

"The fuck !" Park shouted, getting from off the ground. She glanced around, finding Hope unconscious too. The auburnette was wrapped in Jo's arms. "Again?" Liam questioned, looking to Josie for answers.

Theo looked her over. "Are you okay?" He asked. "Yeah, I'm fine—I attacked her" She explained.

"You did this to her?" Liams eyes flashed golden as he stepped back. "No ! No ! Of course not"

"The guy in the mask you all chose to ignore probably did" The ravenette interjected.

"You saw him?" Jo looked up at her, pleading. "He has a mask on, why are you all assuming its a him?" The blonde asked, crossing her arms over his chest.

"Because he didnt have boobs, stupid" The ravenette flicked the other girl, declaring her dumb for the rest of the day.

"And yes, my Jojo. I did see him. He was unconscious and blasted me with something on his wrist. It glowed green" She explained "And hurt like a bitch"

"No shit" The blonde whined "You collided in to me, remember?"

Liam groaned taking hold of his sister. "Tell me. What did he do" He carried her bridle style, looking to the brunette for further answers.

"Not him, Hope. She used her magic. I guess unleashing all that power wore her out." Jo looked at her pale face.

"Or maybe its the fact she hasnt been drinking real blood" The ravenette pointed out. "If she was just exhausted from the blast she wouldnt look so pale."

"I'll give her mine then" Theo rolled up his sleeve, ready to give her his blood but Liam had slapped his arm away. "No, dont do that." Liam came from a family of Vampires. He knew how dangerous it would be for Theo to do that. She could lose control, she wouldnt understand whats happening. Although Liam trusted his sister with his life, he wouldnt know how she'd react and he wasnt going to make her go through the guilt of killing someone..again, especially not Theo.
