Find Hope | The Originals

Chapter 26

"You're not ruining my life" Kylie tries to convince me.

"You don't understand Kylie, being a vampire is a lot harder than you'd expect I think you need to rethink this decision" I suggest.

"Hope I'll never forgive you if you walk out of here today without giving me your blood" She says looking past me.

"Don't put me in that position" I warn her.

"I've no choice this is what I need, why are you so afraid of me being a hybrid?" She asks me.

"You're really emotional right now" I try to explain.

"If your not going to turn me leave" She interrupts me.

"Kylie at least let me talk to my mom about this" I sigh.

"If you leave now without turning me, don't bother coming back" She remarks harshly.

"Ky-"

"Make up your mind Hope, it's happening now or it's not happening at all" She says.

"I've never turned anyone before what if it doesn't work because I'm not a vampire yet?" I try to make her reconsider this.

"I'll take the risk" She tells me, "Besides you turned your mom" She reminds me.

"If I turn you, you'll need blood when you wake up" I tell her. I can't lose my best friend, if she says she needs my blood, she can have it.

"You can get me some while I'm dead" She says casually.

We both go into her kitchen and she hands me a knife. I tighten my hand around the blade of the knife and pull it up through the palm of my hand to make a large cut. I pour my blood into a glass and hand it to Kylie. She drinks it quickly.

"Do you at least want to rethink this now?" I ask her. She doesn't answer my question, instead she grabs the knife from the kitchen counter and cuts her throat.

"Kylie" I yell frightened as she falls into my arms. I gently kneel down with her still in my arms. I take my phone from my back pocket and text Theo Kylie's address before calling him.

"Hello?" He answers his phone.

"Hey, did you get the address I sent you?" I ask him.

"Yeah I did, what's it for?" He asks.

"It's Kylie's address, are you busy, can you come over?" I ask him.

"Yeah I can come over, are you alright?" He asks.

"I'm fine, and can you bring some blood bags please?" I ask him.

"Blood bags? Hope what's going on?" He asks me.

"I'll explain when your here" I promise, "Just come in when you get here, the door is open" I tell him.

"Ok I'll be over soon, with blood bags" He says and our call ends.

After a half an hour I finally hear Theo outside.

"Hope?" He calls my name coming into Kylie's apartment.

"In the kitchen" I yell from my spot on the floor. My back is against the wall and Kylie's head is on my lap.

"Why does it smell like blo-" He asks walking into the kitchen and stops talking once he sees me.

He throws the blood bags on to the kitchen counter top and rushes towards me. He takes Kylie's body from me gently and examines my body.
