Hosie - I Had a Crush on you (Completed)

Chapter Seventeen - Triad

Hope's Pov-

Josie and I are about to leave the school when we are stopped by people with guns. Must be triad. "Going somewhere?" The guy out front asks. I roll my eyes and mutter a spell but it doesn't work. They all let out a laugh and I feel Josie hold onto my hand. Something inside me tells me that Josie and I aren't going to be having that first date.

"What do you want?" I ask. I slightly step in front of Josie and the guy at the front of the group gives us a smug look. I glare at him.

"We are looking for Landon Kirby, we think that he might know where the last artifact is. We think that he may be hiding it here in the school" He explains.

"Landon isn't here, he went missing about a week ago. Left us a voicemail saying that he had left because he needed to find answers about who he is. About him being a phoenix" I explain to them. "And as for the artifact, if it was here... which it isn't then we wouldn't tell you. Now give us back our magic"

"If you don't mind, I think we will come look in the school" He says before pointing his gun at the both of us. This time I put Josie completely behind me in protection. Josie's grip on my hand tightens.

"It's okay Hope" She says before stepping out from behind me. I know how brave she is and that she thinks that she doesn't need my protection but I will always give it to her no matter what. "Why don't we get the headmaster and you can talk to him about it instead of pointing your guns at two defenseless teenagers" She says. I can't help but be proud of her courage.

"That's the point, we waited for the headmaster to leave before we got here... He's driving back from a bar with one of your old teachers" The guy explains. I roll my eyes... of course Doctor Saltzman chooses today of all days to go to a bar to have a drink with a few buddies. Josie has an annoyed look on her face, she must be thinking the same thing. "Okay... Inside now!" The main guy says, now getting impatient. One of them goes to grab Josie.

"Don't you dare touch her!" I say sternly. "We have legs we can walk without your filthy hands steering us"

"What's going on?" Lizzie asks once we are inside and no one is around. "First I'm eating breakfast and suddenly there's a bunch of assholes in black pointing guns at us. It's Sunday, it's suppose to be a day for peace" She continues, she rolls her eyes and shakes her head.

"They're looking for the last artifact" Josie explains.

"Right... well how do we stop that? We need to tell dad what's happening" Lizzie whispers. While no one is watching we sneak off to the headmasters office to look for a school phone. After searching for a while we come across a red box. "Never seen this before" Lizzie mutters.

"That's because it was probably hidden with a spell" I suggest. I try to open it but it just won't budge. As much as I'm curious to know what's in it, we have to stay on track. "seems to be locked shut pretty good but whatever it is, I don't think that it's the school phone"

"Seems like dad really doesn't want anyone to know what's in there" Josie says. I walk over to the cabinet on the other side of the room and see the school phone sitting there. Thank god.

"Found it, nearly flat but I should be able to make a call"

After getting caught we are standing in doctor saltzmans office with a gun pointed at as. When the gun goes off I go to jump in front of Josie who jumped in front of Lizzie but the wooden mud bullet hits Josie in the chest. I catch Josie as she falls and hold her in my arms. She's not bleeding but the area where she was shot it black. This can't be good. "no no no" I keep repeating. Josie gives me a small reassuring smile.

"It's okay babe... do what the man tells you and let's go" She whispers. I hadn't even realized that the asshole that shot Josie was shouting at us. We made our way out of the office and ended up getting thrown in a cell. I sit on the floor with Josie's head on my chest I run my hands through her hair.

"You're going to be okay" I say.

"Well at least if I'm not okay Lizzie won't have to do the merge" Josie states, yet there is no emotion in her voice. It's as if she doesn't want to be afraid, like she won't allow it.

"Don't talk like that" Lizzie says. "You are going to make it out of here, we just need to figure out how to get our magic back and then I can siphon it from you"

"Where do we even start with that?" Josie ask. I try hard to think of something but I have nothing that comes to mind. Removing magic in such a big space is new to me, I've never heard of it before. "Hope?" Josie says, looking for answers. Yet I can't give them.

"Josie only got shot once..." Lizzie says.

"So?" I mutter.

"He fired twice..." Lizzie says before looking at my arm. "Hope, I think I know what happened to the other bullet" She points to the hole in my shirt and I rise my arm to look at it. It's completely healed.

"It's healed, I didn't even know the bullet hit me" I mutter. I come to realization straight away. "Because I am werewolf, vampire and witch the mud can't affect me. Lizzie find me something sharp so I can give Josie my blood"

"You're going to make her drink your blood?" Lizzie asks. and when I don't answer she mutters "gross". Lizzie quickly finds a small piece of rock and hands it to me, I cut my hand on the rock and quickly give my blood to Josie before I heal. Josie's wound heals straight away.

"But your blood is magic, how did that work?" Josie asks.

"whatever is blocking magic is only blocking spells like the daylight rings... it doesn't stop the magic in my blood because it wasn't a spell that created me" I explain. Now we got to get out of here. Mg suddenly appears at the door.

"Did someone say that they needed to get out of here?" He asks with a smile.

"Mr. Milton you are a lifesaver" Lizzie says. Mg opens the door and Lizzie gives him a big hug. He turns to me and gives me a small nod.

"down near the werewolf cells there's a device that stops magic but I have no idea how to stop it" He explains.

"It's Alright, I got it"

Caroline's Pov-

I've finally found an answer for what needs to happen to stop the merge but in order to do that I have to bring back the most evil person in the world which could cause a lot of problems. I'm not sure bring Kai back is an option, as he is the coven leader he is the only person or thing missing in the equation to stop it all. but he won't help us, he will expect us to let him go. I need to call Bonnie.
