Losing Hope (Sequel to Little Wolf (a VD and TO story)

Chapter 7

I walk down the New Orleans streets, heading back home to the compound after a day of shopping and doing other pointless things. My phone begins to ring and I answer it within an instant.

"Hello?"

"Penelope, are you interested in meeting me at a particularly cute summer cottage?" Klaus's voice asks me over the phone.

"Maybe, why?" I ask curiously.

"I am having a little trouble finding the witch Davina Clare, I convinced Camille to help me but I would like a feisty partner in crime" Klaus says, his tone cunning.

"Umm yeah, text me the address, I'll be there as soon as I can" I say as I hang up the phone. I am about to make my way back to the compound but something stops me.

"Penelope!" An unfamiliar voice calls out to me. I turn around and see an empowered wolf with Oliver coming towards me.

"Yeah, that's me.. Oliver what's going on?" I ask them curiously.

"I'm Aidan, I'm part of your pack. You are our Alpha" Aidan says as he sticks out his hand. I reluctantly shake it and then look at them.

"Does someone want to tell me what's going on?" I ask as I cross my arms over my chest.

"We need your help, P" Oliver says his tone serious. I look at them intrigued.

"I'm listening..." I say nodding my head.

"Vincent, he's Esther's helper witch, he's taking all of the kids and making them trigger their curse so they could join our army. We need your help to get them out of there..." Oliver explains to me.

"Vincent is Finn.. He's a Mikaelson.. I didn't know that either of them would sink this low.. Well no one is going to hurt my pack like that, here, follow me. I know someone that can help us" I tell Oliver and Aidan as I walk and they follow me. When we get back to the compound I get into my car and I drive to where Elijah said he'd be this morning.

"This is vampire country out here.." Oliver says as we arrive at our destination.

"I know." I say as I get out of the car and go into the crumbling building that Marcel has been staying in, he actually has a pretty cool loft up there. I vampire speed to Marcel's loft but when I walk in I see Elijah with a girl I've never seen before, she has his hand in his chest and they are looking into each other's eyes all lovey dovey like. "Elijah.." I say catching both of there attentions. The girl pulls her hand from his chest and Elijah looks at me. "Am I interrupting something?" I ask as I cross my arms over my chest.

"No, not at all" Elijah says clearing his throat.

"Good, because we need to talk" I say as I feel Aidan and Oliver come up behind me. The girl then tries to lunge at the wolves but I bravely step in and I slam her to the ground, keeping her pinned under my high heel, slightly digging it into her chest. "We didn't come here to fight, we came here to talk, and I'd appreciate if you kept your vampire lackeys under control" I say to Elijah angrily.

"Let her go, Penelope..." Elijah breathes out. I look down at the girl unimpressed and I dig my heel into her chest more causing her to cry out in pain.

"You know honey, I'm a hybrid, and these guys right here, they are my people. So, if you try anything like the stunt you pulled a few minutes ago, I will remove your head from your shoulders without even thinking.. Know your place sweetheart" I smile at her evilly as she lays there in pain.

"Penelope!" Elijah yells at me as he is about to intervene. I let out a sigh and pull my high heel out of the girls chest. The girl lets out an exhale and lays on the ground. I pull her to her feet and brush her shoulders off.
