Chapter 11

"Phasmatos salves nas ex malon" the witch yells and I can feel the powerful spell take control of my body.

"Stop it!" Kol shouts at the witch but she ignores him.

Marcel then appears beside the witch.

The pain coursing through my body is excruciating. Blood starts to pour out of my eyes and ears as the spell continues. I scream as the pain becomes unbearable.

I wake up in my bed short of breath and extremely shaky. I sit up rubbing my eyes, this is the second night since I've gotten my memories back that I've had this dream. It feels like it's happening all over again.

I get out of bed and get changed quickly. I need to get out of here.

I grab my phone on my way out, I sneak downstairs quickly and quietly trying not to wake anyone up as it's 4am.

Once I'm outside the cold air hits me but it feels good. It feels refreshing.

Before I notice what I'm doing I have my phone against my ear, calling the number Harvey left in it. I quickly realise how strange it is for me to be calling this late and decide to hang up but before I can, he answers.

"Who's this?" he mumbles. I think about ending the call without saying anything, I don't want to scare him off.

"It's Hope" I blurt, "I'm so sorry for waking you up, I shouldn't have called you" I apologise.

"No, no, it's alright" he reassures me quickly, "is everything okay?" he asks concerned.

"Yeah everything's fine" I mutter while a group of drunk tourists stumble past me singing and shouting.

"Where are you?" he asks confused.

"Just on a walk" I shrug.

"You're what?" he scoffs, "it's 4am" he reminds me.

"I know, I just had a bad dream and needed to clear my mind" I mumble feeling stupid.

"Where are you I'll come and get you" he offers.

"No you don't need to do that, it's so late" I decline politely.

"I said I'm coming to get you, where are you?" he asks again.

"Bourbon street" I tell him trying to hold back my smile, I'm excited to see him.

"Stay where you are, I'll be there in 10 minutes" he says before I hear him moving around.

"Okay, I'll see you soon" I smile as the call ends.

I sit on the bench behind me and wait patiently for him to arrive. Quickly enough he arrives and gets out of his car to greet me.

"Hey" he smiles walking towards me.

"Hey" my voice is muffled into his shoulder as he embraces me in a hug, I instantly feel safe with his arms around me.

"You're freezing cold" he states before taking his hoodie off and offering it to me.

"No you'll be cold it's okay" I start blushing but thankfully he doesn't notice because it's dark.
