My Witch- Ajax Petropolus

Family Part 2

I was drowning everything and everyone out. The only thing on my mind was Hope and how come no one remembers her and where she is at. I knew I needed to find her and figure out what hell is going on, something wasn't adding up. 

"Are you okay?" I hear Ajax say in my ear. I looked up to see my aunts and uncles looking at me with worry written all over their face. 

"Darling, you seem a little out of it" Kol says with everyone nodding their heads in agreement. 

"I'm fine" I lied "I actually need to go do something real fast, I'll be back in a minute" I added and got up and walked away. Once I was out of their site, I used my speed going straight to my room, locking it behind me. I grab my phone off my nightstand, and started to call Hope. As it rang, I looked around to see pictures of me and Hope are gone and it was just me in the photos but the strange part was my drawings of Hope were still there. 

"Hello?" a voice said on the other end 

"Hope?" I say 

"Sorry, this isn't Hope" the voice said and it sounded so familiar and that's when I placed it 

"Lizzie? Lizzie Saltzman?" I asked 

"Yes?" she answered 

"Why do you have Hope's phone?" I asked her

"This is my phone. Who is Hope? and who is this?" she asked. 

"It's Ariella" I say "My sister goes to your school, I used to but now I go to Nevermore" I say 

"Look, no one by the name of Hope goes to this school and I have never met anyone named Ariella. Goodbye" she said and hung up the phone 

"FUCK!" I yelled. Of course she doesn't know who I am, I met her and Josie through Hope. I need to find Hope, I know something is wrong. I grab a bag and started to pack a few clothes. As I was done, I opened the door to see Wednesday on the other side, ready to knock.

"What do you need Wednesday? I'm in a hurry" I say as she pushed her way into my room

"Going somewhere?" she asked 

"Yes, something has happened to my sister. I got a text from her this morning, saying she couldn't make it and telling me that she loves me and that she will always be by my side always and forever. Next, thing I know no one remembers but me. I need to go find her and see what the hell is happening and fix it" I say 

"Well, surely she remembers you than. She'll come and find you" she said "In the mean time-

"No, Wednesday. I need my sister, I have to find her" I say trying not to tear up 

"I hate saying this and it brings me pain but I need your help. If something is wrong and your sister needs help, than she would come and find you or contact you." she tells me. I stop and thought about it. She was right, Hope was strong and she could handle herself and if she needed help than she would go out of her way and find it. If Hope truly needed me than she would come and find me, she knew where I was already. 

"Your right. What can I do?" I say 

"30 years ago there was a murder here on the grounds. My father was the only murder suspect but they let him go and charges were dropped. My parents are hiding something about that night. I need help proving it that it was my father" she says 

"Wait...you want your father in jail?" I asked her a little shocked by this 

"He killed someone and then basically hid it from what he had truly done. The truth needs to come out" she says 

"Fine, I'll help" I say 

"Good, lets go" she says as we walked out of my room. 

"We need to sneak by my family and Ajax. They can't know." I informed her 

"Fine, have it your way." she says. After going around the school, trying not to get spotted, we finally made it outside. We walked into town and to the founder statute.

"Why are we here?" I asked 

"Shut up, I'm thinking" she says but than her head turned as her eyes caught on to a women wearing a black long dress and long black hair, walking into a cemetery with a single rose. "Let's go" she add as we went to follow that lady. We watched her had she rid the rose petals off and threw the stem onto the grave and threw the petals to the other side. As she walked away. We walked further in to go see the name on grave.

"Who was that women?" I asked 

"My mother" she said and walked off

"Makes senses" I muttered as we started to head back to the school. As we got there it was lunch time and a huge buffet was set. Wednesday left to go stand by her mother and said that she would come and get me later with more news. 

"There you are" Ajax said as he came towards me "You had me and your family worried"

"I'm so sorry. I had to go take care of something and now I'm helping Wednesday. But, you now have my full attention" I say as I took his hand and tried to make my way to my family but he pulled back 

"Is this about Hope?" he asked 

"You remember Hope?" I asked him. Finally someone else knows her, well he kinda of does but it's a start.

"No, you mentioned her this morning. When your aunt and uncle said those things, you got really sad and worried." he said. He was right. I wanted my sister, I wanted my father, I wanted my mother. I wanted my mother to hold me and my father telling me that everything was going to alright and he was going to fix it. I want to paint with Hope again. I lost my parents, I couldn't lose my sister has well.

"Something bad has happened. This morning I got a text from Hope telling me she couldn't make it and that she loved me and all. Next thing to happen is that no one remembers Hope but me. Something has happened and I don't know what it is. You have to believe me, she is real Ajax. She's my older sister and I need her" I say and in that moment I couldn't help but let tears fall down my cheeks. He placed his hand on my cheeks as he whipped away the tears. 

"I believe you and I will help you. For now let's get through day today and than come up with a plan. Alright?" he said smiling at me

"Alright" I say smiling back at him.

"There's that million dollar simile. Now, what does Wednesday need help with" he asked as we started to head back to our families 

"Trust me, you don't want to know" I say shaking my head
