Hosie - Death Date

Chapter Three - I'm Very Persuasive

Chapter Three - I'm Very Persuasive

After Klaus Mikaelson and Hayley Marshall; Hope's parents died, Hope had realized that she wasn't the girl that she use to be. Nothing seemed to feel right. When Hope was killed by one of her fathers enemies, she soon realized that she could never die, not fully anyway. She started getting the visions and dreams of Josie Saltzman after she triggered her vampire side. She had no idea who Josie was when she first started having the dreams until she spoke to her Aunt Rebekah about a siphon girl who appeared to die in everyone one of her dream. The look on Rebekah's face when she realized exactly who Hope was talking about, was full of guilt.

"Her name is Josie Saltzman" Rebekah said to her finally. "She lives in Kingsley Orphange where Damon Salvatore left her when she was a baby. She's maybe a year younger than you" Rebekah explains.

"How do you know this?"

"Because I helped Damon put her there. He made a deal with me, I'd rather not tell you what it is but I've regretted helping since I did it" She said. Hope couldn't help but feel angry at her Aunt Rebekah for taking a baby away from her parents.

"Well I'm leaving to go find her and I don't want anyone following me. I know that I'm suppose to save her... In these dreams she is like me, minus the werewolf side. I'm suppose to be the one to turn her" Hope explained to her aunt. Hope walks to her room and begins to pack for Kingsley Orphange. It will be easy for her to get in, especially because she is now an Orphan.

"Welcome to the worst school in the state" Mya says to Hope as they walk through the metal detectors, into the school. "The Orphanage can't really afford to send us anywhere better" She explains. Hope looks around and notices a group of boys fighting at the end of the hall, she rolls her eyes. To anyone else, this school would look frightening but to Hope Mikaelson... This is just childs play. Mya walks off to speak to some guy with a man bun.

"So you have been to crappy schools your whole life?" Hope asks Josie. Josie shrugs.

"Yeah but people can still learn even when their resources are shit" Josie says as she grabs her bag from the security that was checking it. "It's not that bad here though. I mean I can skip school and no one would notice... no one would care if I do skip school"

"When you skip school, what do you do?" Hope asks curiously.

"Go to the local library or go to the movies and watch those nice earth documentaries that they play every wednesday morning when they aren't busy" Josie says with a smile. Hope laughs.

"You are such a nerdy rebel. If I were to skip school, I'd run into the woods in my wolf form and let the wind blow through my fur"

"I'm never going to get use to that" Josie says, shaking her head. "The front office is just down the hall, I'll see you at lunch?"

"Yeah, sure... see you later"

Hope walks to the front office where she is given her schedule. Her first class is history, someone from the office shows her to the class which also happens to be the same class as Josie. She takes the seat next to Josie.

"What are you doing in this class, I thought you were a year older than me?" Josie whispers.

"Technically, yes I am older than you but my age has pretty much been paused so we are the same age physically" Hope explains in a whisper. She takes out her books and faces the front.

"Like I said, I am not going to get used to that" Josie says, as she opens her text book.

At lunch, Josie and Hope make their way to a table where they meet Mya who is sitting by herself. Mya who is usually cheerful has mascara and tears running down her face. When Josie notices she runs over to see if she can cheer her best friend up. "Hey Mya what happened?" Josie asks sympathetically while Hope stands there awkwardly.

"Aaron broke up with me, he said that he's been struggling with the idea of my death and he needs to stay away from me" Mya says before she bursts into tears again. "I hate this, I hate that there is no way of preventing it"

"I'm so sorry Mya, How about we go see a movie tonight? You love going to the cinema" Josie says with a smile.

"Yeah and throw popcorn at the old people in the front" Mya says with a laugh. She wipes her tears away and smiles. "That sounds like a good idea."

"I'll buy the popcorn" Hope says cheerfully as she sits down with them. "Boys suck, honestly..."

"Thanks Hope" Mya says, giving her a small smile.

"And maybe we can go somewhere after, I know it's a school night tonight but who cares"

"Yeah, how are we going to afford that?" Josie asks.

"Inheritance" Hope says before taking a sip of her milkshake. And Hope Mikaelson has a huge inheritance, she wouldn't have to worry about money for the rest of her life and the rest of her life is... well.. forever.

"That movie sucked but it was so funny when that old lady came running up the stairs to yell at us" Mya says, laughing. "I love using the death date card, makes them back down every time."

"Okay Mya, what's something that you've always wanted to do but thought you would never be able to?" Hope asks.

"I've always wanted to go bungee jumping off the Sydney Harbour bridge in Australia but I've only got six days to live so I don't see how I could make that happen now" Mya says, getting sad again.

"Okay well how about we take the next plane to Australia?" Hope asks as she puts a hand full of popcorn into her mouth.

"We don't even have passports Hope and I don't see how we can get them without parental permission" Josie says, ruining Hope's fun. But Hope smirks because she has the power of compulsion, meaning that it doesn't matter what they want to do. She can make it happen.

"You'll find that I'm very persuasive... That settles it, we leave tomorrow for Sydney... First class?"
