Legacies - Posie

16- salvatore

Penelope's POV

" Satan." Josie's lovely sister greeted me as I blocked her way from leaving her room.

" Barbie?" I sneered back at her. I can go on all day with my insults, but sadly I have to hold myself back as I have a missing person to find.

" You're meddling with my precious time, now if you please skedaddle thyself off my path." the Barbie scolded in her daily melodramatic language. I rolled my eyes at her antics and didn't dare to move an inch before I could get my answers.

" Where is Josie? " I cut to the chase and wait for her to reply, hopeful to get a lead in the right direction.

" None of your business and don't dare asking me any further. I will reveal nothing!" she barks and crosses her arms as she tries to intimidate me with her death glare before she tries to walk around me, but I'm quicker and block her way again.

" I just need to talk to her, it's important." I try again and I can already feel my ego slowly eating me up for my remained calmness in this kind of situation.

" You two are too toxic for each other. I'm just doing you both a favor." she tries to reason out her actions.

" Let us be the judge of that." I say calmly, although on the inside I refrain my urge from strangling her.

" Call her?" she suggests and I immediately begin to laugh sarcastically at her.

" Don't you think I've tried? She has my number blocked." I point out, rolling my eyes.

" Then that means she doesn't want to talk to you, like ever-"

" Please Lizzie-ughh. This is important!" I plead with the unpleasant sting of her name on my tongue. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

" Wow... that serious huh?"

" Will you tell me, or should I go already before I waste anymore of my time?" I cross my arms in frustration.

She sights before she gives in. "Fine! She's with father and Hope on a mission, it's a pretty serious one, so I doubt they would be back by tonight. Happy?" she asks sarcastically.

" Very!" I form my lips into a tight fake smile and rush off to somewhere, anywhere but this suffocating building.

My patience is running thin, but there's still some left. I will wait for you to come back Josie and we are definitely having that conversation.

Josie's POV

Here I am, running away from my problems for the nth time. When my father announced his new mission with Hope, I didn't think twice before I jumped on board with them.

I just needed time to distract myself from everything, from my trance lapses and unintentional use of dark magic all the way to my interference with Penelope's new relationship. In which I had no right to mess with, we were no longer together and she didn't owe me anything.

So why did I react the way I did? Was it because of jealousy? No, it can't be that! I don't love her anymore nor have feelings for her. I guess I was just trying to hold onto the memory of her still loving me...

Anyway, moving onto the mission!

Earlier today, Damon and Elena Salvatore met with my father at the school, asking for our help. Their daughter Stefanie had gone missing at a college frat party and couldn't be tracked down.
