Fated - Hope Mikealson (ON HOLD)

Chapter 11

It was the middle of the night when Hope had to wake up Raven.

They had survived their first long bus ride and would have to get off to wait for the next.

Ravens head was leaning on Hopes shoulder, it caused Hope to slightly freak out but other than that it was comforting.

She hated to do it but Hope gently nudged her shoulder and brought her hand to Ravens leg.

With a quiet voice Hope spoke, "Hey, it's time wake up. This is our stop."

Ravens eyes fluttered open. She took in her surroundings trying to remember where she was. She looked up to Hope who had a small smile on her face.

Raven squinted her eyes and quietly responded, "What'd you say?"

"I said it's time for us to go." Hope's smile grew and she nodded her head in the direction of the door before standing up. She grabbed their bags and waited for Raven to follow.

Raven slowly got up and took her bag from Hope while a yawn escaped her lips.

The girls got off the bus and headed their way to the motel they booked prior. Their next bus wouldn't get their til early the next morning.

They checked in and went up to their room.

When the girls walked in, instead of the double they had requested their was only a single bed.

Hope spoke up, " Okay then, are we sure this is the right room?"

"Yeah. You know if it's fine with you I really don't mind. I'm tired as hell,plus the rest of the place is already booked." Raven sleepily said as she looked towards Hope.

Hope eyes widened slightly, "Yeah sure, I don't mind." She closed the door behind them and walked further into the room, "Well you should get some sleep, I'm gonna freshen up."

She walked off with her bag to the bathroom and swiftly closed the door. She looked herself in the mirror, breathing heavily.

She scrunched her face and lightly paced around the bathroom before whispering to herself.

"Why are you nervous, their is no need to be freaking out right now. It's not a big deal your just sharing a bed, you've done it before. Just calm down."

Outside the bathroom on the bed was Raven. She quickly changed into more comfortable clothes and went under the covers.

She looked up at the ceiling trying to control her breathing.

'Why are you freaking out right now, oh my god just get some sleep already. You were just tired how are you suddenly wide awake.'

She heard the bathroom door open and Hope walked out in a set of pajamas.

She walked over to the bed, pulled up the covers and made her way into the bed.

She reached over to the lamp to turn it off.

"Can you keep it on please. I can't sleep in the dark." Raven desperately whispered.

Hope turned back to Raven and lightly frowned. She could hear the fear in her voice.

"Yeah sure." She shuffled back into bed and got comfortable, "Good night Raven."

"Night Hope."

Raven moved to her side away from Hope and tried to let her exhaustion consume her. It took her awhile but she managed to fall asleep.

Hope stayed awake starring at the light.

Her mind was awake and not sleeping anytime soon.

All she could think about was her family. She hadn't seen them in awhile, the last to visit her was her uncle Kol and aunt Davina, when they brought more grimoires and dark objects for her and the school.
