Endless Lines

Silencio

Chapter 31

"Lets have a group movie night, to clear the air between the group" Josie announced, hoping to convince her girlfriend of doing so.

"I dont know" She bit her cheek, sure the Supersquad havent had a get together in a few weeks but its not like they needed it. "We could even invite..Cleo" She pointed out hesitantly. "I'm sure it would help with the tension"

"Maybe" Hope added, not sure this was the best idea.

"Please" The brunette pleaded with her eyes, making sure it would be difficult for Hope to reject the offer. "Okay, thats not always going to work"

She smiled, knowing her girlfriend agreed. "I'll get to inviting everyone, you set the scene. Okay?"

"Yeah, sure" She mumbled, rolling her eyes. The brunette gave her a quick kiss on the cheek before running out.

Hope assumed this little gathering would be hosted in the Old Mill since she didn't invite much people in to her room plus it was a neutral space for everyone.

——-

Hope was the first at the Old Mill, she had to set everything up. And with her girlfriend on a mission she had to do it by herself, which was fine. She knew this was important to Josie.

She whipped her head around, hearing the nearing footsteps only to find Cleo there. "Cleo-"

The girl threw a spear at Hope, nailing her to the post. She groaned, looking down at what was now lodged into her stomach.

"Cleo.." She spat blood, unable to yank the spear out from inside her. The other girl marched forward, clearly still angry from Hopes known mistake.

"You killed my boyfriend" She yelled, slapping some drinks from off the table. Hope watched as her hard work came clashing to the ground. "I know, I'm sorry" She apologized, holding the end of the spear.

Cleo gripped on to it, coming face to face with the auburnette. "I loved him" A tear could be seen pooling from the girls eyes as she twisted the spear through Hopes stomach. The auburnette hissed with pain, her brain overloaded her with infathomable terror.

"I didnt mean to—" She let out, looking to Cleo, hoping the girl could see the sorrow within her eyes. "You're a monster just like they all said, your apology means nothing to me. You'll never be more than a Mikaelson."

"Cleo, stop this" She demanded, acting as if she still had control in this situation. "And after I'm done with you, I'll go after Liam. I'll finish off your whole race. Starting with you"

The girl pulled out a knife, the blade dripping a green substance. She waved it around before slashing it across Hopes face.

It burned against her skin, the only way Wolfsbane could. "Are you really going to kill me?" She hissed, her hand going up to the slash that wasnt healing.

"You're not a killer, Cleo. Think about this"

"I'm whatever I have to be" She balled up her first, stealing the oxygen from Hopes lungs, the girl gasped reaching for her neck.

"You're..no..better..than me..if you do this" She barley got the words out, her life was coming to a close demise. Although she'd resurrect it made the pain of dying no less bearable.

Cleo opened her first, gasping. She knew the auburnette was right but she couldnt let Kaleb go without Vengeance for his death.

The shorter girl rubbed her throat, letting the Oxygen make its way through her lungs again. She sighed with relief, knowing that Cleo was distracted with the many thoughts now racing through her head.
