You Never Know

Revenge

Page 9

Hope roamed the halls, she had just got finished her Therapy session with Emma. She was going to take a walk in town, something Emma had suggested.

Alyssa chuckled in the background, examining the Tribrid while mumbling a few things to Penelope. One thing Hope gathered by silently watching was that Penelope didnt berade people just for fun, she was the type of bully that was honest which is why everything she said made it just as much harder to hear, to digest.

"Be careful, she might explode" Alyssa chuckled, Penelope nudged her. "Your jokes are getting old, Chang."

The girl scoffed. "Unlike her."

Hope rolled her eyes, knowing it was probably a bad idea to snap back but she wasn't one to take being walked over. She turned around, her eyes burning a hole through Alyssa with freight before she decided against playing into the witches childish games.

"Thats right, walk away just like how you walked away from your family." Alyssa shouted, finding herself hilarious. Hope paused in her tracks, the girl had hit a nerve.

Dont do it

Dont do it

Dont do it

Before the auburnette knew she was right infront of the witch, her eyes glowed a bright gold reflecting off of the girls face. "Say it again." She demanded.

Penelope had stepped back, she wasnt one to underestimate people. Especially not a Mikaelson. A family they had learned about their whole lives. The Original Vampires. Alyssa on the other hand, she didn't like feeling threatened, she didnt like knowing someone was better than her and thats why she pulled Hope down. Thats why she continuously attacked the auburnette. She glared back at the girl with disgust.

"You heard me"

Hope hummed, a small smile appeared on her face. One that wasn't friendly, one that you wouldnt forget. One that could only remind you of her father.

"You're right..I did" She grabbed the girl by her throat, lifting her feet from off the ground. She threw the witch to the floor, thinking that that was all she needed to prove herself. But Alyssa refused to go down as a coward in the eyes of a school it took years to scare, a school that saw her as top dog, a school where no one but Lizzie Saltzman dared to mess with her.

She mumbled a spell, Hopes arm snapped first. Her eyes widened in confusion. Her leg snapped below her, causing her to fall on to the wooden floor. She groaned, her bones snapping one by one. Her eyes glowed a furious gold as she was forced to transition infront of everyone. Alyssa smirked from behind her, thinking she had won. But she didn't, she had picked a fight with the wrong girl.

She stood up, her fangs on show as she snapped her bones back in to place. It took a huge amount of control to stop the forced transition. "How.." Alyssa was flabbergasted, she was afraid.

The girl walked slowly before her, the need for her body to change was almost suffocating her and she was unable to speak. Instead she headbutted the girl, knocking her back.

She thought that they were finished, that this was over but it wasnt. An arrow shot through her back, green smoke evaporated out of it that made her skin sizzle. She reached for the arrow, her instinct being to pull it out but it burned her to the touch. She fell to the ground, Penelopes gasp was almost incoherent.

She looked over to Alyssa who was crawling away, trying to make her escape. "Fuck" she mumbled underneath her breath, she looked back to the person who shot it, the hunter from earlier had made an appearance. Hope wondered how he had found her once again. "Its you" She growled, flashing her fangs.
