Let Me In

Chapter 8

Song: One Step Closer By: Linkin Park

Out in the hallway, Josie turned to Penelope with an expectant look. "What is so important that you have to talk to me?"

"The witches want to know what you are going to do about the situation with the talent show?"

"What situation?"

The raven haired girl just rolled her eyes and curled her hair. "We all know that if Hope doesn't perform that the show is called off. You are the rep for the witches on the council so we want to know what you are doing about this."

Josie huffed in frustration. "I already have a meeting with my father to discuss this, so you and the witches have nothing to worry about. You can tell your minions to calm down."

With that, she turned to leave when Penelope reached out to stop her. "Jojo wait."

"What now?"

The shorter girl slide up to Josie and ran her hand up her shoulder to her neck and pulled her closer. "I miss you."

Josie looked at the hand that was slowly working its way up into her hair and tried to pull away from it. "What the hell do you think you are doing?"

"Come on Jojo, you know you miss me too."

"Like hell, let go now!"

The raven-haired witch's grip tightens on the taller girl head as she is bringing her face closer. She was going to kiss her, and the taller girl couldn't stop her. Josie felt like her entire body was frozen. Too late she realized that Penelope had spelled her and she couldn't move her limbs.

She tried to turn her head away but the grip the other witch was too tight and without the use of her body, there was nothing that she could do.

All of a sudden, like a flash, Penelope was no longer holding Josie and was pinned to the wall with the hand that was forcing Josie, into the unwanted situation was pinned behind her.

"When someone says to let go, you really need to listen. Did no one ever teach you that No means no?"

With Penelope pinned, Josie regained use of her limbs and was able to move again. She hugged herself and tried to understand what had just happened. She couldn't believe that the other witch would do that. And what stopped her.

As Josie turned her head she saw Hope holding the girl against the wall, feet not touching the ground and her arm held behind her. They were drawing a crowd. She needed to calm the situation, but she felt shaken.

"What did Satan do this time?" Lizzy and MG were walking in from the dining room and took in the scene in front of her. Then she looked at her twin who was visibly shaking.

"Jo, what's the matter? What happened?"

Josie looked at her sister and there are tears in her eyes and she can't seem to make words come out of her mouth.

"MG, do me a favor and help Hope take Satan to dad's office. Me and Jo will meet you both there in a few minutes. Don't let Hope kill her, no matter how much she deserves it."

The vampire nodded and walked over to where the tribrid had the other girl pinned. "Hope, we need to take her to see Dr. Saltzman. You have to let up a little."

She turned to him a growled. Her eyes where glowing golden and her fangs had extended a little. She was not going to see reason in this moment. The girl she was holding was a threat to Josie and that meant that she was a threat that she had to neutralize.

MG turned to his girlfriend for help. He didn't know what to do to calm the tribrid.

Lizzie walked over to where Hope was and had MG take Josie. "You take Josie to see dad, I will deal with this and meet you there."
