Revenge Of The Lawn Gnomes

Josie's POV
—

Hope died.
I watched it.
I mean she did die, but she's going to be transitioning.
She talked about dying and now scared she is.
Karma just had to slither it's way in.

I sit on the cold ground cradling Hopes body.

Now I just have to wait.

After the necromancer killed Hope, he disappeared into thin air.
Leaving the damage he left.

We moved Hope into her room— laying her on her bed.

Dad put a blood bag next her bedside when she wakes up.
I sat down on a chair that I pulled next to her bed.

Everyone stood in the room.
Dad, Lizzie, Cleo, Rafael and me.

We all are waiting.

—

It's been few minutes now and we're still waiting.

"What if she's not coming back?" I ask quietly.
"Don't think like that Josie, of course she will." Dad says.
"She's strong and we know it." Rafael says.
I nod my head and I turn back to Hope.

The silence and no movement was really getting to me.

I sat there chewing my lip anxiously.

Hope then abruptly shot up from the bed gasping and clutching her neck.

I engulf her in a hug.
"It's okay baby, you're okay, I'm here." I say hugging her tightly.

Hopes POV
—
I shot awake and I immediately held my neck— remembering the feeling of the necromancer hand around it.

It's so loud and bright and my head hurts so much.

I don't adjusting to my surroundings until I feel someone hugging me tightly.

The scent of strawberry shampoo made its way to my nose.

Josie.

I hug Josie back tightly.

Josie slowly lets go and I look around the place and it seems like I'm in my room.

Dr. Saltzman, Cleo, Rafael and Lizzie are in here too.

"H-how do you feel?" Lizzie asks me as she inches closer to me.
"Don't, stay away." I say softly as I feel the ache in my gums.
"It's okay Hope." She says.
"It's not, it isn't!" I shout shaking my head.

Dr. Saltzman stands in front of the crowd in my room.
"Hope I know you're probably terrified, but you're transitioning now." He says.
He grabs the blood bag and he hands it to me.
"It's your choice." He says.
I look to everyone in the room as I grab the blood bag.

I look to Josie and she gives me a reassuring look.

I slowly bring the blood bag to my lips.

I feel the veins from under my eyes darken and I feel my fangs come out. I drink on the blood bag.
I drink every ounce in the blood bag.

I am a full tribrid.

Everyone left the room already.

I took a shower cleaning of all the dirt and blood from my chest.

I returned back to my room and I shuffled around putting clothes on and brushing my hair.
Josie watched me timidly as she sat on the bed.

I turn around to face her and I join her on the bed pulling her down with me.
