The girl at the door (Hosie)

Chpt 2.

Josie POV

She smiles at me and I shot her death stares.
"What do you want?" Penelope says standing next to Harley.
"I need a place to stay"
"And find somewhere else" I say closing the door in her face.

"Wait why did you do that?" Harley says and I stare at her. We hear knocking again and I grow frustrated. Harley opens the door and looks at Hope smiling at her.
"Hey Hope" She says and I stare at her confused.

I never ever mentioned hope to her and neither did anyone else.
"Please Harley I need a place to stay" she looks at Harley with pleading eyes and Harley turns to look at us and I look at her my mouth on the floor.
"Give me a second guys" Harley says and walks out closing the door to talk to hope. Lizzie and Penelope look at me there mouths on the floor too.

We all stand in silence as we hear faint whispers and than the door opens and Harley comes in.
"Just Wait there one moment Hope" she nods and shifts on her feet. Harley pulls us to go around the corner.
"Please can she stay?"
"Are you fucking with me Harley?!" I Say and she looks at me her face soft.
"Please guys it's serious and she has no where else to go" I hear Penelope sigh and Lizzie does too as they all look at me.

"No!" I say
"Jo at least give her shot"
"Give her a shot do you know what she did to me?!"
"Yes Josie we know I'm not happy with it either but I'm learning not to hate on the past"
"Seriously you too" I say to Lizzie as she shrugs.
"I've changed"
"Well I haven't" I say storming up the stairs and slamming the door to my bedroom. I fall on the bed and put my head phones in letting the music fill my ears.

Hope POV

I wait by the door as I have no idea what is going on. I eventually see Penelope I think that's her name I can't really remember.
"Come in But take off your shoes you are soaking wet" I smile and take my shoes off leaving it at the door. I take off my wet jacket off too and put my bag down with my jacket. I look around the nice neat apartment and I smile.

"So Hope why are you here?"
"I have no where else to go"
"What do you mean" I shrug my shoulder not really knowing what to say. Why did I come here again I put my hand on my face.
"Don't you remember hope?" I look up to see Harley by my side as she puts her hand on my shoulder.

"Something happened back home but I don't remember" Harley looks at me confused.
"Like something bad?" I hear Penelope say as she is behind me and I jump slightly. Penelope looks down at my clothes and her face drains of color as she calls Harley over. I don't know what they are looking at. Harley comes around to the Side of me and puts her hand on her mouth and gasps.

"Oh my god hope!" Lizzie says as I am confused so I touch my back by my hip. When I pull my fingers away and look at them there is blood on them
"Oh" I say and than the pain comes back and the room starts to spin.

"Harley I don't feel well" I say and collapse to the ground as I feel arms grab me than everything goes black.

Harley POV

"Hope!" I Say wrapping her in my arms.
"Quick Lizzie go get the medical bag!" Lizzie goes running.
"Put her on the couch and turn her so that she is on her stomach" Penelope says and I pick Hope Up in my arms and gently but quickly put her on the couch so that she is on her stomach. I pick her shirt up slightly and see almost cuts and burns on her back by her waist but it looks worse than that.

It's as if her skin is now stained with blood a horrible sight
"Holy shit!" Penelope says trying to advert her eyes.
"Sorry I don't do blood-" Penelope gags and runs to the dustbin and throws up. Looks like she is out to help. Lizzie comes running to me giving me the kit I look up at her.
"I don't know how to use that, I only know magic remember" I sigh looking at the wounds.
"Looks like we are going to need some magic though" Lizzie looks at Hope and shakes her head.
"I don't know a spell for that but I know who does.." I look up at her and I bit my bottom lip.

"Josie knows doesn't she" Lizzie stays quiet and that's my answer.
"Not it!" I frown at her
"What I'm not asking!" I open the kit and pull out some cloth.
"Ok but just hold this so the bleeding can stop" I put the cloth on the wounds and Lizzie takes my place as I get up.

"If I die remember me" Lizzie salutes me
"Good luck solider" she looks back at Hope. I run up the stairs trying to get to Josie's room as quick as possible. I reach her door and try the door knob but it's locked so I bang my hand on the door.
"Jo open up!" I shout knocking on her door.

I hear movement in her room when the door opens up and Josie looks at me pissed.
"What?!" I grab her hand and pull her out her room running as she try's to fight me but I win. I pull her to Hope and she looks at Hope as her face changed.

"You need to help her Josie!" I Say and she just looks at me as her face goes back to being pissed.
"Why?"
"Josie please your magic can help her!"
"Lizzie can do it"
"No I can't" Josie rolls her eye and try's to walk away but I grab her hand.

"Josie please I'm begging you!"
"No why should I?!" I stare at her as I'm getting angry at her for being so selfish.
"Josie do you not understand?" She looks at me blankly
"If those are not fixed than she will lose to much blood and she will die, do you get that she will die, and that will be because of you!" I Say shouting at her.

She pause for a moment looking between Hope and I.
"Her blood will be on your hands!" I Say and she pushes past me kneeling next to Hope as Lizzie moves over to give Josie space. Josie closes her eyes and puts her hand over hopes wounds.

"Wrap thee in cotton, no more wounds, surround thee wound, surround thee this rainy night, for thou art cared for, healing thoughts sent from fights of before" her hand glows and the temperature in the room drops and I feel goosebumps run up my arms.
Than Josie opens her eyes as the wounds start to heal already.

Josie gets up and looks at me.
"It will heal in three hours, she might still feel sore and probably have a bruise but that is what happens" with that she storms back up stairs as a lighting bolt hits the earth shaking our apartment.
