"Hey Josie." A certain blonde greeted and Josie just ignores her.

She didn't ignore her because she was her ex, she was honestly spaced out by a certain someone with blue eyes. But not for a good reason, Hope has been avoiding, or so she thinks. She hasn't seen the auburn all day nor was the girl in her room. The school bell goes off and Josie went to get up but the blonde stops her.

"You just going to ignore me?" Jade asked.

"Jade? What do you want?" Josie questioned, pulling her arm away.

"To talk, you been moping all day." Jade pointed out.

"We only have this class together, are you stalking me?" Josie finished packing and was ready to leave.

"No, I can hear half the school and people talk." Jade shrugged.

"Why am I even talking to you? I have more important things to get to." Josie began to walk but Jade stops her again.

"Look. I know things between us are still not very good, but I still love you and I'm here for you." She tried to reassure.

"I don't you or anyone else. Ugh!" Josie groans, holding her stomach.

"You okay?" Jade wondered.

"Hope, where are you?" Josie mutters, letting out a shaky breath.

"Hope?" Jade forward her eyebrows.

"Josie. Josie!" Lizzie came running into the classroom, Mg appears a second later hearing his girlfriend screams.

"What is it?" Josie moved to sit down and Lizzie raises an eyebrow at Jade.

"Why is she...Nevermind! Unimportant, something is wrong." Lizzie informs.

"Very wrong." Josie groans and Lizzie takes a spot next to her sister.

"So you noticed to?" She rubbed Josie's back.

"The babies has been giving me a hard time since last night, where is my girlfriend?" Josie whines.

"Girlfriend?" Jade muttered.

"Uh Josie." Mg gestured towards Jade.

"I don't care, I just need Hope like right now." Josie took heavy breaths and Lizzie turned to Mg.

"Go grab my mom. You, go be useful and grab Cleo." Lizzie instructed and the two vampires nod then dashed away. "Alright Josie, I need you to take deep and slow breaths, breathe with me okay?" She began to navigate her sister but it wasn't working, the pain grew increasingly worse.

So bad that Josie's eyes started glowing gold and Lizzie immediately steps away from the brunette. Josie stood up and muttered a spell, blowing a hole in side of the classroom.

"Josie!" Caroline called after but the brunette had already stepped outside and began making her way to the forest.

"Don't, she got wolf's eyes." Lizzie tells them while holding her mother back.

"What?" Caroline asks in confusion.

"Look at her protection mark thingy." Mg points out.

"It's spreading." Jade squinted.

"What do we do?" Lizzie asked her mom helplessly.

"Gather the super squad and follow her." Caroline vamped away while the trio ran off to do exactly that.

The brunette continued her trail as she can smell her lovers scent get inherently stronger. Today is Hope's birthday, they were meant to be going to the beach today. They were meant to be playing in the sand and sink their feet in the wet sand of the shore. The cold salty water wrinkling their skin, but something was preventing their happiness, or maybe someone. Josie looks up to see a camouflage spell placed on a rather open area of the forest. Josie placed her hand on top of the barrier and swiftly siphoned causing it to shatter. This alerted the residence and they did not look like good or happy people.

"Who the hell are you?" A woman asks and Josie eyes began to glow.

"I'll do the asking of questions, where is my tribrid?" Josie practically growled.

"Your tribrid?" A man laughed.

"Don't make me repeat myself." Josie threatened.

"You came here alone against a witch and a vampire, you have no power here wolf." He flashed his veins and Josie tilted her head with a smile.

"Funny, I'm not a wolf. Motus." Josie casted and the woman is shot back into the establishment, taking out the witch first would make this mission much easier.

"Werewitch..." The man stared in shock.

"Again, not a wolf. Now where is she?" Josie growls and the man flinched but laughed.

"Good luck finding her, she's in the after life." The woman reveals and Josie felt something in her shift, it was almost instantly.

The man saw the look of hesitation in the girl's eyes and vamped to her. He grabs and stuck his fangs into her neck but pulled away just as quick when her blood touched his tongue. He began to choke and cough as his mouth felt like it was on fire. The next thing Josie remembered was blood and now seeing Hope lying on a table with a knife in her chest. Tears streamed down the brunette's face, her hands caressing her girlfriend's soft, pale skin. Josie began to hum a tune she created then pecked Hope's heart vein.

"Josie?" She heard Lizzie call.

"She's in here, I can hear three heartbeats." Mg ushered and quick approaching footsteps was last hard.

"Oh my God Josie..." Caroline rushed to her daughter's side then stopped seeing the tears streaming down her daughter's face while caressing her girlfriend's face.

"Hope...?" Lizzie hands became shaky as she stepped to her best friend's side, feeling extremely overwhelmed especially with her being bipolar.

"She can't be..." Caroline swallowed the wallow of emotions forming in her throat.

"But she is." Jade spoke and Josie stops humming.

She looks up at the blonde and her eyes began to glow once more.

"Did you try to pull it out, maybe she'll come back?" Lizzie suggested capturing Josie's attention.

They watched as Lizzie failed time after time to pull the knife it. It wasn't budging, basically like the sword in the stone. It felt impossible to the blonde making her panic and feel even worse.

"Lizzie." Caroline tried to calm her daughter down.

"She can't be dead, she just can't be. She's the almighty tribrid. She's suppose to be immortal." Lizzie was having a breakdown and she is wrapped in a hug by her boyfriend.

"Lizzie, shh. Just let it out." Mg rubbed her back as the blonde sobbed into his neck.

Josie looked at the knife and slit her hand open on something sharp making everyone but her sister jump back.

"Josie what are you doing?" Caroline kept her distance seeing how the mark was still in full effect.

They watched as Josie hands wrapped around the knife.
