"Love and Pain." ~~~~~~A LEGACIES STORY

Chapter 46: The Truth

Last night is played over in my head. It was so special just like I wanted it to be. With a person I'm in love with just like I wanted it to be. It was everything I had hoped and wished for. Now I'm laying in bed happy and smiling while thinking back on it. Everything had came together. Telling each other we loved each other two days ago, coming out of town, seeing the history of the Mikaelson's, and being able to hold the girl I love in my arms after being fully committed to each other.

Hope is rummaging through her drawers. She sighs a little after looking through each other drawer and not finding whatever she's looking for.

She didn't fix her hair yet. It's almost out of her hair, but it's barely hanging on. Doesn't seem like it's bothering her though because she doesn't fix it every time it moves, getting closer to the edge.

I laugh at her hair. She stands up straight quickly and her hair tie falls all the way off. It hits me in the face.

"What are you looking for?"

She sighs and runs a hand through her hair. "My bunny. I had a dream of me holding it when I was younger. It jus seemed like something I needed before leaving today."

We've been here not even twenty four hours yet and she wants to leave. She really wants to stay but I can tell she thinks I want to leave.

"Why do we have to leave today? It's only Saturday."

Hope does a confused chuckle. She points out the window to all of the people talking and she points to the ceiling of the house.

"Well I know you don't like a lot of noise and staying in some old house doesn't exactly scream romantic."

I get out of the bed and walk over to her. "The noise doesn't bother me, And this house isn't bad. As long as I have you we could be staying in a trashbag and it would be okay."

"You sure?"

I nod at her and she relaxes. Not for long though because she starts to rummage back through her things. "Good because this bunny is something I really need right now. And I also wanted to show you another one of my old houses."

"Damn, your family is loaded."

She laughs. "Yeah, well, when you've being living for a thousand years it's kind of excepted you have some money."

The Mikealson house floors squeak as we walk through it. Hope keeps looking through the rooms and smiling at her memories. She found her bunny. It was right under her old bed from when she was a kid.

Now we're heading out to the old house she used to live at as a child. It's isolated. No surrounding houses. Only grass and trees. The house is huge. A white gate on the outside. Stairs leading to the two story house.

"I stayed in this house for five years. It was the hideout house for when my brother was chasing my family."

Hope shows me her old room. It has painting supplies everywhere. "When my dad had came back, he stayed in the doorway staring at me sleep."

She smiles a little while leading me to the kitchen. I cook us both breakfast. It's not really good though. Hope makes a disgusted face but she tries to hide it.

"Sorry, I know it's nasty."

She tries to shake her head, but I give her a come on look. Hope sets the food down and takes my hand.

Outside, it's sunny. The wind starts to blow hard. It's hard to walk through the wind, but Hope insists on staying out.

"Hope, we have to go back." I hold my hand and start to lean against a tree.

She turns around and walks up to me. "Hey. Hey. You okay?"

There's a loud ringing in my ear making me fall to the floor. The dirt gets my completely neat white pants dirty. Rain starts to pour down.

"Okay. Let's go." Hope puts my arm over her shoulder and tries to pick me up. From a distance, a group of people walk up to us.

They have black leather jackets on and spiky chokers. In their hands, they hold knifes and guns. A few have blood bags which tell me they're vampires.

"Hope, run. They're coming."

She looks over her shoulder, and shakes her head. Her eyes wander back to me and tries to me up again. I leap out of her arms to go fight the vampires.

"Please leave, Hope. You can't get hurt. I...won't...allow...it."

The wind picks up speed and the vampires are running at us faster. One of them hits Hope and she falls against a tree.

"Hope!" The wind starts to blow harder. It pushes me back as I try to run through it. The vampires have disappeared. One by one they all disappeared out of thin air.

Hope leans against the tree before slowly standing up. She takes my hand and gets up. "Why did you do that?"

There's a tiny bit of fear in her voice. She thinks I'm a monster. I'm the monster I never thought I could be.

Hope gets up quickly and starts to run towards me as I'm trying to run away. The vampires starts to whispers and my eyes close slowly. 

The grass is soft yet hard as I hit the ground. The wind has stopped blowing so hard, but now it's raining. My body gets soaked in the water. A pair of hands grab me. It's Hope.

She lifts me up. "I don't know whats wrong with you. You can't move for a while. Until the spell wears off."

There was no way I was going to move anyways. It had hurt too much to move anyways. The only thing I wanted was to lay here. In the arms of Hope. Where all my worries and all negative thoughts had left.
