Futures Past

Old Love (16)

Lizzie and Josie parked the car, hesitating to get out.

After the twins had hidden Damon's body so that he wouldn't be found by someone, they headed home.

However, once they reached the house, they realized that they forgot to get rid of Mr. Tanner's body.

Which meant more than likely someone had found his body by now. And when there's a dead body at a school, they typically call all the parents to inform them of the situation.

Which meant the twins were in deep shit.

"Sooo, how much trouble do you think we'll be in?" Lizzie wondered, aloud as she tried to think of arguments to use against Freya.

But Lizzie wasn't an idiot.

She knew that it would be very difficult to out-argue a Mikaelson.

However, that wasn't going to stop her from trying.

"Freya might be the only one upset. Enzo will probably be proud, and Stefan would most likely be conflicted.," Josie said, eyeing the house warily.

All true things.

Although, Lizzie had a feeling that Kol would be pouting because he missed the show.

"How about we just pin it all on Damon?" Lizzie suggested, looking hopefully at her sister.

It could work.

The only problem is if he says something, later on, they would get in trouble for killing Tanner and lying.

Not an ideal situation.

Unless Lizzie killed Damon, then he wouldn't be able to deny doing it.

"Lizzie, you have blood on your shirt," Josie pointed out, raising her eyebrow. And Lizzie looked down at her bloody shirt.

Nevermind...

"Right," Lizzie sighed, leaning back in the seat as she unbuckled the seatbelt.

"Maybe, we should just be honest," Josie said, glancing at Lizzie with an uncertain look. And Lizzie gave her one of pure disbelief back.

What did Josie not understand about lying to parents?

Was it her guilt complex or her need to be the perfect child?

Like seriously, kids lied to their parents all the time but for some reason, Josie never could.

It was very annoying when they were younger.

"Uh-uh, no, that's what gets you in trouble. How about we just lie and say we have no clue?" Lizzie said, shaking her head, which made Josie give her an exasperated look.

"Lizzie, once again you have blood on your shirt, besides do we really want to start off our relationship with Freya with lies?" Josie said, frowning at her twin, which made Lizzie roll her eyes.

Yes, was that not obvious?

Like, what was the worst that could happen, she grounds them?

"I mean, what did she expect when she 'adopted' two very unstable hybrid teenagers?" Lizzie said, crossing her arm over her chest.

Which was true, the twins had made it fairly obvious that they were very unstable. It's not their fault that Freya didn't run when she saw the warning signs.

Besides she was a Mikaelson, and they were known for being notorious killers. If she was upset, that would be hypocritical.

"I just don't want to cause problems for her," Josie said, as she got out of the car.
