You Never Know

Isolated

Page 7

Hope didnt leave her room for the few few days, Jo would check in or her occasionally but she was never let inside. She wanted to show the auburnette she cared but the Mikaelson was making it terribly difficult.

"Just give her her space, its better shes in there than out here" Lizzie mumbled after catching her sister waiting outside the Mikaelsons door. "She hasn't eaten, Lizzie. Who knows what shes been doing in there."

"Shes immortal." The blonde pointed out. "If she wants to be isolated and ungrateful then let her."

Whispers trailed around the school fairly quickly, some consisted of Hope making a bomb. Some saying shes hibernating for her next big kill which was going to be the school. Others claimed she finally figured out how to kill herself and was rotting in her bedroom. Most of said roomers were started by Lizzie or Alyssa Chang.

"Maybe shes growing horns and turning in to the devil" Someone whispered, chuckling to their friend. "Maybe shes crying over her dead daddy." Someone else laughed.

The brunette had finally had enough, she took a stand. Her voice strong and her chin held high. "You guys are disgusting"

All eyes trailed to her, the Co-dependent twin finally grew balls. "Making fun of her dead family, yet saying shes the monster?"

Everyone stayed silent, not daring to say a word to the daughter of the headmaster. Jo shook her head, sometimes people were just ignorant.

Ethan had been taken in by the pack, although he considered Hope a friend he wasnt much worried about her. He knew her story, he knew that she needed this time to herself. After all they werent that close, having just known eachother for a few hours.

"Why arent you worried?" Jo finally asked, she hadn't seen him visit Hope not once. He smiled lightly at her. "She doesnt like people, shes immortal. Destined to outlive all of us, its best to give her her space. Shes processing an eternity of time under that mask she holds up."

The brunette bit her lip. "Shouldn't that be of more reason to come out her room?"

"Shes hard to understand" Ethan smiled lightly. "I should get going, full moons coming."

The wolves were all locked up in the basement by 8:30. Chained and ready to change within the full moons peak.

Hope on the other hand was struggling to hold back her wolf side. The desire to be set free was burning within her. On the occasion she could feel one of her bones snap in and out of place. The pain made her feel good, made her as human as she could get.

Her families death werent too far behind her, still lingering within her every day. The two year mark was coming up real soon. Something she had been dreading since her humanity was flipped back on.

Something her villain was waiting on. A moment to exploit Hopes depressive state. It was her weakness and he even from a far distance could smell it on her.

Jo slid a blood bag under the girls door, as she did every day. Like clock work, Hope found it hard to understand the brunette. To understand why all her attempts at pushing the brunette away seemed to not work. A tactic that she'd maintained for 2 years with everyone. Maybe the night she got here apart of her wanted to let the brunette in, but the sound of her blood made it all to clear to Hope that she would only come to die in a years worth time.

The full moon came and passed, Hope remained cooped up in her room against Dr Saltzmans wishes. A week had passed, leaving it to be the anniversary of her parents death, their death date.

And like it was bound to happen a demon looking body crashed through her window. Hope jumped to her feet, The God Of The Underworld making his final appearance, hoping to kill her and Landon in one swell swoop in order to be done with this school. To rule what they called earth.
