Hosie~ One Shots

Found you again

This story is following the plot of the Tim Burton Movie "Dark Shadows". I found it funny that the woman's name was also Josette.
None of these characters belong to me.

It is said that blood is thicker than water.
It is what defines us. Binds us. Curses us.
For some, blood means a life of wealth and privilege.
For others, a life of servitude.
When I was a girl, my father took us to the new world to expand the Mikaelson's family empire.
We brought english industry to the wilds of maine. And built a fishing business. The likes of which America had never seen.
As our business grew, the town of New Orleans grew with it. And we decided to put down permanent roots.
We spent the next 15 years building our beloves home. The Mikaelson Mansion.
But not everyone shared in our family's success.

-In a bedroom against a wall-

A woman and a man are kissing each other deeply.

"Je t'aime. Let me hear you say "I love you, Landon." I want you."
The man says holding the woman's neck.
The woman looks at him and pauses.
"Landon, I am sorry, my dear. But you would be hearing a lie."

-In his room-

Preparing a spell, holding a stone figure.

"Make the high and mighty low.
Arrogant creatures down and go."

He cracks the figure.

-Outside the Mansion-

Hope's parents are walking outside of the mansion as one of the figures on the roof fells of and lands on them.

-In Hope's room-

Convinced my parent's death was no accident, i became obsessed with dark magic and ancient curses.

But even then, in the depths of my grief, not all was darkness. For I had found my one true love.

-Outside on the balcony-

"Promise we'll be together forever."
"God as my witness, Josette. I swear it."
Kissing each other deeply, they don't notice Landon behind them cleaning the floor.

Of all the servants I could have spurned, all the hearts I could have broken, I got the one with the secret. I got the warlock.

-In Landon's Room-

"If she doth another choose to lend his heart an eye, then magic shall the slighted use. So all she loves will...die."
He throws a small piece of Josette's hair inside a pot.

-Ouside near a cliff-

Caught in Landon's spekl, my beloved Josette wandered helplessly towards widow's hill, where many a despondent soul had leapt to their death."

"Josette!" Hope shouts as she runs through the forest to reach her.
Seeing her beloved Josette standing at the edge of the cliff she runs even faster.
"Josette!"
She turns around slowly.
"Help me." is the last thing she says before falling off the cliff into her death.
Hope gasps watching her fall, not being able to do anything.
She jumps after her without hesitation.
"Josette!"

She hits the rocks, but unlike Josette, she doesn't die.
Not understanding why she didn't die she tries to stand up, but she starts to feel uncomfortable.
Her head hurts and her eyes start to bleed.
Hope looks up at the edge off the cliff and sees Landon standing there watching her with a smirk.
"What have you done?!" she screams at him.
