IT'S BEEN A FEW WEEKS. since Micah came back to school and it's now the first day of spring break and while most of his classmates are going home to see their families
While he is here stuck at this boarding school with some other kids who have no where to go for this break. Attending this school without Ezrah for the last few weeks taught him something...
Making friends sucks, besides growing up in a prison world Micah has never had to put himself out there to make friends since Ezrah just attracts people
He has Wade as a friend but all Wade does is ask questions about his sister which makes he very uncomfortable
While Micah is a walking down the hall when up ahead he see the one and only Hope Mikaelson holding a backpack on her back walking further from him
He jogged to catch up to her "Mikaelson, where you headed this fine evening?" He questioned her
She stopped her tracks before turning to face him "I'm going on a road trip with Mr. Saltzman, what about you? You doing anything for spring break?" She asked
"Nothing too exciting" he says, "maybe I could come with you" he suggested
"I'm sure Mr. Saltzman doesn't you want to be a stole away in his van plus there's no room" she says
"It's fine, I'm probably gonna just chill here then" he says looking down at the floor
Hope turns around to the sound of her name being called to see it's Mr. Saltzman telling her to come on. She said goodbye to Micah before walking out the door with the headmaster
AFTER 6 HOURS OF singing how many beers on the wall, Lizzie asking are we there yet?, Josie puking and Lizzie punch bugging Hope they finally arrived at their destination
Maple Hallows
Lizzie, Josie and Hope stood by the fountain asking people if they seen anything suspicious
"While look who we have here" Micah says walking up to the 3 witches
"Micah?" Josie says surprised. "Great! Another person who invited their self on our family road trip" Lizzie says shading Hope
"I thought you were gonna stay at the boarding school- what are you doing here?" Hope asked
"Shortly after you left an old buddy of mine reached out and ask if I wanted to go on a road trip- We stopped to get some food and I heard this town has the biggest ball of yarn in the country wanted to see for myself" Micah says
"Ow! Something stung me!" Josie says the 2 witches and warlock surrounded her to see a huge red bump on her wrist
"Ew!" Micah and Hope says in unison. "Gross" Lizzie says
"What type of bug does that?" Micah asked. "Ew! I don't wanna know!" Lizzie says in disgust
As the continue to stare at it they start hear something buzzing they all look up to see a swarm of hornets flying around
"This is plague-y, This seems plague-y right? Hope says as people around they start to scatter and scream in fright
"It's plague-y" Josie says
The 4 of them quickly runs into building close by for shelter.
Once they heard buzzing had stopped, they open the doors to see the swarm of bugs were not just gone but dead
"We need to find your dad- this way" Hope said as they started walking
Lizzie argues with Hope as they walked
"There's a boil on my boil" Josie says getting all of theirs attention on her wrist
"Oh God!" Lizzie says
"Ew" Hope says
"I think I'm gonna be sick again" Josie says while Micah just looked away
"Pick up the pace Mikaelson- my sister needs... medical attention" Lizzie says as they turn the corner to see guys in hazmat suits, groups of people gather and school buses
A LITTLE LATER Mr. Saltzman, Emma, Lizzie, Josie, Kaleb and Hope are back together as they all stand in line together
"I don't get it. The locals that we met said that they hadn't seen anything, which means that the first sign of trouble happened after we got here." Hope says
"How did these people get here before the bugs?" Emma says
"I don't know who they are, but they are too prepared, organized, and well-equipped to be responding to some random insect attack." Mr. Saltzman says
"Hey where's Micah?" Josie asked causing Lizzie and Hope to look around
"Micah?" Kaleb asked
"Yeah he was with us when hornets attacked and on the bus ride here" Hope says
"He must of lost us in the crowd" Josie says
"I'll keep an eye out for him" Kaleb says
_
The 3 girls sat on a bench side by side
"Hey, who is that guy?" Josie asked
"This creep we met in Kansas when you guys were in Europe." Hope answered
"Why were you in Kansas? Oh, wait, let me guess, it involved you insinuating yourself into a situation where only you could be the hero." Lizzie says
"As a matter of fact, yeah" Hope says sarcastically
"I swear to God, you will do anything to get attention" Lizzie says
"Said the narcissist" Hope fired back
"Said the... other narcissist" Lizzie tried to fires back
" Okay, guys, can we please just stop?" Josie asked
"Okay, fine. You know what? Maybe I was jealous. Maybe I wanted what you had. A simple day with my family. I lost half of my stuff in that fire, including the only painting I made with my dad. Why would I do that to myself?" Hope asked
"Hi guys" Micah says walking up to the 3 witches
"Where were you" Josie asked
"I had to check on my buddy- he's fine just frightened" Micah says
"What's going on here?" Micah says looking around
"You remember when I said a lot of crazy things been happening?" Hope asked
"Yeah" Micah says
"This is it" Hope says
MICAH FOLLOWED HOPE outside with Mr.Saltzman and some dude he has never met.
"I work for an organization that keeps monsters and things that go bump in the night from public view.I thought I recognized you and Jessica..." The Guy says
"It's Hope, actually" Hope corrected him
"I wasn't sure if it was a coincidence, so we searched your van. We know you're Alaric Saltzman, headmaster of the Salvatore School. We know a lot about it. You have a terrific reputation. Leave the school out of this. Look, I applaud your school's mission. If you do your job right, makes mine easier." He said
"So why are we still here?" Mr. Saltzman asked
"Well, I have an entire town that needs to forget what they've seen today. You know, usually it's convincing a farmer in Nebraska he didn't see a chimera, you know, or a few ice fishermen in Minnesota that it wasn't a yeti that ate their best friend. This is an entire town. It's different. We could use the assistance of a vampire. I noticed the daylight ring on your daughter's boyfriend..." The man says
"Oh, he's not... Never mind."Mr. Saltzman says
"Why not call it a freak swarm of bugs? Why erase it from memory?" Hope asked
"Because someone may recognize them for what they are— Harbingers" he says
" Of what?" Hope questioned
" Seriously? This is obviously the work of a mummy. One of our drivers survived an attack by the river. He's been tracking the mummy ever since. He's still on the outskirts of town, but he's heading our direction. We're a cleanup organization. Okay, we're not equipped to go to battle with a mummy. So... will you help? Cut him off at the pass and keep all these people safe?" He says
"Oh, these are kids..." Mr. Saltzman says
"Kids with magic, in a town full of innocents without it." He says
"We'd be happy to help" Hope answered
"I'm gonna need my weapons. " He asked
"Of course. Gather what you need. Round up your friends. My team can help you with anything else." He says before walking away
"Okay, I know you don't remember our trip to Kansas clearly, but that field that we woke up in in Georgia, that's where the portal to Malivore is" Hope says to Mr. Saltzman
"What's Malivore?" Micah asked
"I'll explain it to you later" she says
"It's hidden in plain sight by a company called TRIAD. Look familiar?" Hope asked holding up a business card
___
Mr. Saltzman, the 3 witches and Micah are walking down Main Street in search of the mummy. "Some people find it helps to clear their conscience before heading into battle." Lizzie spoke up
"Not stopping you." Hope says
"Now is not the time" Josie says
"It's always time for truth— Last chance, Hope. If you didn't start that fire to keep us from going, then why were you so mean to me after? I'll tell you why, because you were guilty." Lizzie says
"Girls! Quiet back there, please" Mr.Saltzman says
"I wasn't mean to you. You were mean to me." Hope says
"Because you were telling people about my episode." Lizzie says
"Your what?" Hope asked
"My episode. The one I had when our trip got cancelled. You told everyone that I was witch bipolar." Lizzie says
"I would never do that" Hope says
"Guys, seriously, what is the point of even talking..." Josie says
"Just drop the act. I had my first... occurrence, my mom took me away to get help, and you decided to use it against me."Lizzie says
"Guys" Josie says
"I didn't even know. I swear, I would never do that." Hope says
" Guys." Josie says again
" What?" Hope and Lizzie says in unison
" There's a mummy on Main Street." Josie says
"Holy!— that's a real mummy" Micah said terrified
"So, what, do we, like, rush it?" Lizzie say
"It's seven feet tall.- We hold our ground until it's close enough to attack." Mr. Saltzman says
"Okay, Dad, get behind us." Josie says
"I can't do that." He says
"Dad." Lizzie says
"I have to protect you, all of you." He says
"No offense, Dr. Saltzman, but you and your crossbow are kind of manspread in front of three powerful witches." Hope says
"Okay, good point." He says before running behind them
"Okay, what can a mummy do to hurt us?
"I think we're about to find out— Micah take my hand!" Hope says
"Um I can't" Micah stuttered
" what do you mean you can't!?" Hope asked
" We do not have time for this!" Lizzie says going to take Micah's hand but hers went through his hand
"Wait what?" Lizzie says confused
"You're not really here!" Hope says to Micah
"Hope" Josie says as the mummy gets closer. The 3 witches held hands as they performed a spell "Bulla."
Which put up a force field to protect them from the hornets that just flew out of the mummy's mouth
"Nice teamwork." Mr. Saltzman says
"Should we rush it now?" Lizzie asked
"Not yet." Hope says
Micah's heart is beating really fast as he is having a panic attack due to seeing an actual mummy in front of him
As the mummy's growls, Micah's visions get very blurry until everything goes black.
MICAH WAKES UP TO SEE he is in his dorm room, perfectly safe and away from the mummy. He can feel the sweat hat drenched his back, chest and forehead
This isn't a dream, he was astral projecting himself in Maple Hallow. It was his only way to see Hope without getting into any type of trouble and besides the panic attack it was pretty worth it to him
"Finally you're awake!" A familiar voice says
Micah looked up to see...
"EZRAH!" he says excitedly as he stands up and hugs he's sister
"How long have you been here?" He asked
"For a week" she answered
"Where have you been staying?" He asked
"The house- i decided to come back to school since it was pretty boring there by myself" she says
"How do you feel?" He asked
"All better! Kaia's tea really worked" She says
"How's mom?" He asked
"She's still very pregnant, her due date passed but any day now" she says
"I hope the twins hurry" Micah says
"I'm gonna take a walk before the moon goes up all the way, I'll see you later" she says before giving her brother one last time before walking out of dorm
•••••
Once again thank you so much being patient with me.
I've decided to keep Micah's face claim as Dylan O'Brien but the Model that I picked for Ezrah it's very hard to find gifs and pictures of her so imma change her face claims to the edits of ezrah
