Hope's Best friend

Turning

The next weeks were blurs. I remember going into the headmaster's office talking about what I did. Than tries to explain to me what it will be like. But he really doesn't know.

Than it's the full moon. Hope promised to stay with me through it all. On the other side of the door of course. You see we have these cell type things. They used to be used as actual jail cells but are now used to confine us werewolves when we turn.

I'm terrified. I change into my robe. We wear them because if we wear regular clothes we would tear them when we turn. So we have the robes that take off when we get into the cell.

I hear a knock on my door. I open it to see Hope will sorrow smile.

"Are you ready?" She asks me.

"As ready as I can be." I shrug.

She laces her arm with mine and we walk down to the basement. "At least you will only have to turn once." She smiles. We find professor Saltzman at the cell waiting for me.

"Are you going to be okay?" He asks. I nod. "Okay. You can do this." He smiles. I walk into the cell. It closes behind me. The cell I am in has a little window for me to see out of.

"Hope?" I ask.

"I'm here. I'll be here the entire time."  She promises.

"Talk to me distract me." I say.

"What should I talk about?"

"Um anything."

"Oh remember when I turned 11 and mom threw me this giant party at the house."

"You are so much cake you threw up all over your new bike." I laugh.

"Yea. Haha. I still dont know where that bike came from." She laughs.

I sigh. I do. Her father and I picked it out. Her father can't see her because of some darkness that I still do not understand. And for some reason he decided the best thing was for her and him to not have contact anymore. But I still talked to him. I was his eyes and ears all things his daughter.

"Yea I know." I say lying. "Oh my God." A sharp pains starts in my back.

"Lilly. You are going to be okay. I promise. Just breathe."  She says.

"It hurts." I scream as my bones break. 

"I know. Just focus on your breathing." She sooths me.

I scream in pain and than everything goes dark.

                            -❤-

I wake up on the ground. I see scratch Mark's everywhere. I realize I am not in any clothing.

"Hope." I call out.

"I'm still here." She says. "Aven sa fuis sa belise, de la mer." She chants undoing the boundary spell that keeps us in this room. She opens the latch and the door. She hands me a robe. I quickly put it on. She quickly hugs me tight. "You made it."

"I made it." I say hugging her tighter. I break the hug. "Let's go get milkshakes. After I change of course."

She laughs and we walk to my room.

I get dressed in a white collared shirt and a red skirt. I put on some simple flats and we leave.

We catch the bus to Mystic Falls.

We get to the town square and go to the Mystic Grill. We sit outside. A waiter comes up to us and takes our order.

"Thank you Landon." Hope says.

He nods sweetly at her and walks away.

She turns back to me and smiles.

"He likes you. And from what I see, you like him too." I tease.

"I do not." She says.

"Whatever. You would be cute together." I shrug.

"Yea maybe." She says looking back at him. He comes back with our drinks and fries. He smiles and walks away.

We finish our shakes and fries. Hope pays and we get up. We wait for the bus back to school.

The bus gets here and we get on.

Hope leans on me. "I'm so glad you are my best friend." She says.

"I am too." I exhale. "Thank you for being there for me for my first turn."

She looks at me. "And I know you'll be there for mine."

"Well I'm not going anywhere. So you're stuck with me." I say.

"For better or for worse."

"Isnt that what we'd say if we were getting married?"

We both laugh as the bus pulls up to the school and we get off.
