A Hope Through Time: AnOtHeR WeReWoLf!?! Really? (Book 2)

Chapter 7

Apparently, if you ask Lydia, was that magical healing with the soothing after-effect of ice magic is the best thing to ever experience. The strawberry blonde even kept asking for the Brit to climb in bed with her and share her arctic-kissed skin with her. Hope surprisingly didn't find this request odd or flirtatious as all she could do was laugh at Daphne's deer-caught-in-headlights expression as she was pulled into the bed with the sensitive Banshee.
"So what the hell just happened and please don't lie to me. I've had too many people lying to me in an attempt to keep me 'safe'." Lydia questioned the two girls in front of her after her migraine had finally dissipated completely and Daphne managed to escape the confines of Lydia's koala-like grip.
Hope was considering what to tell the young Banshee as this was going to be alot to take in. The Tribrid thought about lying about the entire interaction between the Emrys couple and Death, but it wouldn't be fair to Lydia being kept in the dark while she wanted to offer some training for the defenceless strawberry blonde on the bed.
The Tribrid knew Daphne would agree with whatever decision she made although the nudge in her mind telling her to tell the truth was what the Ice Witch thought they should do.

"It's a long story--" Hope starts before she's cut off.
"Hope." An irritated Lydia spoke the brunette's name almost scornfully.
"Hey! There's no need for that. I was going to say that I would need to start from the beginning so you can have some context. Geez, cool your jets there Lydia and let me talk before jumping down my throat like that." Hope replied slightly offended by the insinuation that she was just going to brush the other girl off with such a simple excuse.
The untrained Banshee pursed her lips in a thin line as she realised she may have jumped the gun too soon. "Sorry."
Hope started with a quick history lesson of the 'Tales of The Beedle and The Bard' and the three Peverell Brothers. Lydia was aware of these stories as she's read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows more than once, she wanted to urge the brunette to get to the point but refrained for now.

When Hope mentioned that she destroyed the Resurrection Stone and Elder Wand, Lydia started paying attention as this was new information. Harry was supposed to have ended up with all 3 pieces of Death's gifts to the Peverell Brothers and disposing of the Elder Wand off the bridge heading in and out of Hogwarts.
Instead of keeping the Cloak of Invisibility like Harry had done in the books, Hope convinced Harry to destroy the last item belonging to Death in order to return the Deathly Hallows back to their original owner, Death. Hope explained how Death had killed them the night that Harry destroyed the Cloak and how Death brought them into Death's realm to thank them. Death also was 'generous' enough to mention that they had 2 more Soulmates: an archer and an assassin.
By killing both Hope and Daphne to speak to them, Death activated Hope's Vampire Side and forced her to transition faster than what the Tribrid originally wanted but with Daphne at her side she didn't fear her Vampire Side or the ability to turn off her humanity.

Lydia was still confused about this as it didn't explain what it had to do with her blackout but she did learn quite a bit about the Witch pair and Hope's history. Although when it got to recent events, a pit of despair entered Lydia's heart.
"Which leads up to today. Before your blackout I told you that you are a Banshee, then Daph and I felt a presence that we've only felt once before in our life... Well, actually I suppose I should say in our deaths. In a split second, you were convulsing like you were having a seizure, then you were no longer you. Death possessed your body." Hope told the shell-shocked and frightened girl.
"W-Why? W-Why me-e?" Lydia barely managed to get out as she struggled with her tongue to push the words out.
"You're a Banshee, Lydia. Remember the alternate names you listed earlier to us. The Wailing Woman. Harbinger of Death . Lydia... You are a vessel for Death." Hope answered softly with sadness in her voice.

Lydia went completely silent at the information and brought her knees up to her chest, hugging them tightly to herself in an effort to make herself as tiny as possible. Hope and Daphne were unsure whether or not the distraught girl would want comfort from them.
" Hope, Daphne. One of you, come pick me up. Dad's not here at the moment. " Came a remarkably tired voice from a strangely alert Allison.
Both the Tribrid and Ice Witch jumped not expecting a response from their 3rd soulmate as they thought she was sleeping after her flight.
Hope glanced at Daphne indicating that she should probably go pick up Allison just in case the Alpha Pack have already moved into the apartment above the Argents.
Daphne closed her eyes for a moment as she gathered a picture of where she wanted to apparate from Hope's memories and silently disappeared.
