"Given our recent influx of monsters, Sheriff Donovan and I have decided we need to take drastic action. Please give him
your full attention" all students are sitting in the main hall listening to Alaric I have Hope sitting on my right but all I can think about is that kiss between Hope this mate bond is taking over my every sense.
"Like Dr. Saltzman was saying, local girls Dana Lilien and Sasha Stoteraux didn't come home last night. Dana sometimes skips town for a few days to party, but this is a first for Sasha."
"Thank you, Sheriff Donovan."
"Now, I'll need a few of you to volunteer to go to Mystic Falls High under the guise of an exchange program meant to improve relations between our schools, which, unfortunately, is necessary, given recent events. Now, I give you permission to compel them, to gather materials for locator spells, because any information we can get will make all the difference" Great a rescue mission
"Well, I guess that I can set aside my differences with Dana for a day, because that is what heroes do. So... I volunteer as tribute"
"She battles one gargoyle, and suddenly, she's Mother Teresa" I chuckle lightly at Hopes comment and see that Kaleb and Mg volunteer to and then Hope grabs my arm and pulls me up "We would like to help" I look at her with a 'what the hell look' and she just shrugs
« « « « «
"So any reason you volunteered us?" I say as I look at Hope all the volunteers where on the Salvatore bus on our way to mystic falls high she looks at me and sighs "I just wanted to feel normal for the day" I give her a knowing smile and place my hand in hers she instantly interlocks our fingers "Okay can go make out behind the bleachers when we get there" I watched this stupid teen movie with Josie and that seems to be something they do.
She laughs "Sure think of it as a reward if we find the missing girls" I laugh and we pull up to the school Lizzie walks out first trying to make a good entrance i admit it was until Landon bumped into her
"Sorry I just had a flashback from my freshman year here"
"Girls are missing, so get your wedgie trauma in check or leave" I smile and then Lizzie turns to the group "Okay, here's the deal. Landon, you talk to any of the people you still know from when you went here. Hope, you try to not deliberately alienate the entire student body while the rest of us save the world" I frown at her knowing this is gonna be harder than it has to be
"This isn't a competition Lizzie"
"No it's not it's a mission for a hero and her league of... whatevers"
"Yeah. Screw that. I work alone" Kaleb says as he walk off on his own
"MG, I need your compulsion skills. Would you like to be the Robin to my Batwoman?
"Actually, Batwoman doesn't have a Robin" I frown confused since I don't have a clue who batwoman or robin is.
"She... Metaphor, nerd. Let's go. Okay" they walk off leaving me Hope and Landon alone
"Okay let's get this over with I have a reward to redeem" I say winking at Hope she smiles and we walk towards the school
« « « « «
After questioning and compeling a bunch of students we come up empty we're currently walking through the halls of the school
"This is the senior hallway, where I spent much of my formative years stuffed in every locker... except this one that one doesn't open. On your left, you'll find the bathroom it's where I had my first kiss with a toilet" as much as Landon terrors of high school is entraining me his rambling and voice is not
"I'm sorry. Is the fact that I'm not openly hostile to you make it seem like we're back to being friends?" I'm not exactly sure what happened between them but it definitely seemed to pissed hope off.
"Uh, sorry. Just, I was going
for effortlessly natural. But this is all just
making me really nervous"
"Maybe you should talk to someone you know?" I say looking at him with a obvious look he shakes his head
"There is no way Dana's clique is talking to me unless you have a spell that will make me retroactively cool"
"That impossible" I smirk at him
"Well, We will talk to them, then" I smile that seems like the best plan.
"It's even worse for you two trust me you both have no idea how human high schools work you're the new girls might as well be radioactive"
I scoff "It can't be that hard"
"I'm sorry you both look traumatised is this loser bothering you?" Some girls come over some in cheerleading costumes.
"He keeps trying to get me to buy his mix tape" I smirk at Hopes reply
"Gross. Well, we're going to lunch. You hungry?" The girl say to us
"Famished." I smile and we follow the girls to what I'm assuming is the cafeteria.
« « « « « « «
We don't find out much at lunch except from the fact Dana's sleeping with someone's boyfriend I didn't really listen to the whole conversation mostly only their heartbeats to check if they was lying. Hope got gifted some cat ear headband thing which can be use for a locator we currently walking through the halls and Landon walks up to us.
"Hey let me guess pigtails spilled her guts
and confessed to kidnapping Dana and Sasha case closed" Landon says and wow hell must of frozen over because that was kinda funny.
"Her name's Cheryl, and not exactly but she did invite me to try out for the cheerleading team"
I smirk "And I did my best to convince her to at least try out the costume" Hope glares at me "What? I'm imagining it now and it quiet the sight" I close my eyes pretending to imagine and then I feel a smack on my forehead I open my eyes and see Hope grinning "Ow"
Landon huffs "Who are you right now? And what is that thing on your head?" I roll my eyes
"We're normal high school students so goodbye Landon" I grab Hopes arm gently and start to lead her away and I hear Landon running up to us
"I did some sleuthing of my own scarf in Virginia heat? sounds like a lead, I think they call it" Landon says and points towards a girl wearing a scarf I look at him with a shocked impression "Well done Landon you was actually useful" I pat him on the back
We start following this girl we reach her just in time to see Kaleb about to bite into her neck.
"Let her go"
"Date's over it's not me, it's you now forget this ever happened and get back to class" I frown and grab the girls arm before she walks out "It's him that's the problem not you enjoy your life knowing he's not connected to you anymore" the girl smiles and walks off and with that we all walk out of the bus
"Great Hopes already here"
"We know you killed Dana" Lizzie says as she points at Kaleb
"Wait. Dana's dead?"
"Dr. Saltzman said they found her dead from a vampire bite"
"I didn't kill her, so y'all need to get the hell outta my face" Kaleb vamp speeds off but stops short when Lizzie siphons from Mg and stops him he groans and drops to the floor
"Come on, guys, let's go it's hero time" we all start to walk over not before Hope comment on Lizzies antics "To the Blondemobile" I chuckle and continue walking we reach Kaleb and he's groaning on the floor.
"Not so fast, Kaleb"
"I told you, all I did was feed torture me all you want to, but my answer's gonna remain
the same... because I didn't kill Dana" i look at him and he doesn't seem to be lying.
"Uh, he's right" Landon chimes in "What, so you're a mind reader now, Landon?"
"Call it a hunch" hes looking over at the woods and we see a bloody and sickly Dana.
« « « « «
"We were on the way to graffiti that mill at your school it was a harmless prank but then I got snatched next thing I remember,
I woke up in a ditch so enjoy it while you can, Lizzie i'm sure I look like crap" she pauses and brings her hand to her neck
"Oh, my God what is that?" I look at her neck and see a what looks like a nasty vampire bite.
"It's... someone help me out here" Hope looks around then to me I remember about a hickey from Josies movie that kinda looks like what Dana has who knew a bunch of coloured pictures could be informative.
"It's a huge hickey Dana" I tell her and she seems to relax a little.
"You're fine, Dana you're just a-a little slutty"
she scoffs "I don't even like any of you and I don't even know you" she directs the last bit of the sentence at me I give her a tight lipped smile.
"I should be talking to the cops" she adds and goes to get up and Landon stands in front of her.
"I can't let you do that"
"Ad somnum" hope mutters a spell and I grab her before she can fall on the floor
"I mean, she can't let you do that"
I pass her to MG "So you didn't kill her you freaking turned her?" Lizzie says to Kaleb and he looks offended
"Turned her? you think I want to sit and
listen to that for all eternity?" Then Lizzie looks over to me
"You turned her? I saw you with her" I roll my eyes I don't feed on high school students I was actually compelling her to leave Lizzie and Josie alone
"No I didn't Lizzie"
"Well, someone did, meaning that we have a transitioning vampire on our hands" I'm still not convinced that she was bitten by a vampire or turned.
« « « « «
We currently running through a forest after Dana threw up her guts all over the floor we found out it was a arcane which is basically a massive spider. Once we have a call on the small coloured box and we are caught in a lie we finally make it to the old mill where Sasha joise and Rafael are stuck in a massive web.
"Hey douchebag" Landon runs in and tries to distract the spider and once he does his eyes widen when it looks at him and he runs out.
Josie kisses Rafael to siphon some magic from him and mutters a spell which gets them out of the webs Mg comes in and quickly grabs Sasha and leaves with her.
"Joise, Lizzie, Ava help me" we all link hands and start chanting and I know that this spider is gonna explode and just as it's about to I grab Hope and vamp speed out of there.
A couple seconds later Lizzie and Josie walk out covered in green goo and Im glad I wasn't in there for the explosion they glare at me.
"Sorry Hope was closer" I mutter Lizzie scoffs "She was literally the furthest" I look away and Lizzie continues and looks at the others "Not one word of this"
« « « « « « «
We on are way to back to school and i remember something I look over to Hope.
"Come with me?" She looks at me with a raise eyebrow "Where?" I smile
"It's a surprise" I pick her up and vamp speed back to mystic fall high I put her down and she glares at me "A warning could have been nice" I laugh and take her hand and walk her over to the football field and we go behind the bleachers
"Do I still get my reward?" She chuckles and nods and leans in we share a kiss and it only gets more and more passionate all I want to do is rip her clothes off but I resist the urge since I'm pretty sure Hope wouldn't be impressed I pull back.
"Will you be my girlfriend Hope Mikaelson? I know we haven't had our first date but I'll make sure it happens" she looks at me lovingly and I hear her heart beating faster
"Yes Ava Williams I'll be your girlfriend" she leans in for another kiss and this is more sweet than passionate.
Hope Mikaelson is my girlfriend
