Legacies - Posie

13 - wtf

Penelope's POV

I wake up to someone caressing my hair gently. The familiar touch causes my heart to skip a beat. I immediately shift to take in my surroundings and my mouth drops open-

I'm wrapped up in Josie's arms and my head's resting on her chest. Is this a dream? How did I get in here?? Who cares how, can I press the pause button!!

Josie notices that I'm finally awake and just in time her angelic voice fills in the space.

" The guard hit your head pretty hard " I look up to her soft smile beaming at me. Our eyes meet for a moment before she looks away.

"Don't worry I burned him alive." Josie chuckles to herself.

" Wh- where are we?" I mange to blur out, but I wince in pain.

" Here! Drink this!" Josie quickly hands me a glass of something green. She laughs at my disgusted reaction and speaks to my persuasion "Don't worry, it's not poison. Just a few of Bonnie's special herbs. It will take your headache away."

How long was I asleep and when did Josie forgive me? Why was she acting like my nurse... the last time we spoke she said she wanted me to move on and now she was pulling me back to her old enchanting and unresistable spell.

" Thanks..." I say and reach to take in the glass, but instead doing it all on my own... Josie helps me guide the glass directly to my mouth to drink.

" Here, let me." she says softly and I drink it all in one gulp to prevent tasting the bad taste. Once I'm done, Josie rests the glass on the table next to the sofa.

" Feeling better?" Josie asks, her eyes glued to me, waiting for an answer. I cleared my throat and nodded " Yeah, thank you!"

" Why did you run away from the school?" Josie changes the subject.

" Because we... we were..." I tried to remember what we went after, but my mind went completely blank. It's probably because of the concussion my memory was fractured.

" I don't remember really..." I finally say. Josie just nods.

" It's okay, we can talk about it later. " she brushes my cheek gently.

I missed her touch.

" Josie..." she faces me and waits for me to continue " How did you find me?"

" Well long story short... my dad got a call from the school in which it was mentioned that few students ran away. So he had to go after you to chase you back, but then my whole family got involved to make the mission quicker I guess. Then, my sister and I did a tracking spell, which brought us to the woods and then I found you... and Mg and Kaleb fighting against the guards. You were outnumbered, but your heroism didn't stop you from fighting. One of the guards managed to knock you out and then... I burned all of them alive... and now we're at the bus station" Penelope and Josie are no longer cuddled together in bed, instead they're now both standing with suitcases at a bus station "In case you don't know, this place is created for people who need to travel to places, you know like normal people do when they they want to visit someone!!" Penelope's face turns pale...

Third Person's POV

" Hopefully that would teach Penelope to never astral project on me ever again." Josie smirks mischievously and looks at Hope, her very own secret ally who unintentionally played on both courts, leading both girls to an unavoidable draw.

" You're truly Satan's ex wife." Hope nodds to herself.

" I will pretend I haven't heard that and... uhmm I think I should go now, don't wanna Penelope to wake up and kill me."

" Yeah... we don't want her to start kissing you to death do we?." Hope laughs.

" See you downstairs Hope!" and with that the door closed, silencing the room. Penelope shuffled almost immediately after, and caught the red heads attention.

" Hope? What happened? Wh-where are we?"

" You better drink this first. They're Bonnie-"

" Bonnies special herbs?" Penelope says at the same time as Hope.

" Yes... they are..." Hope widens her eyes at Penelope, before she remembers how Josie already said that in their astral projection conversation. " Just drink it." Hope laughed, before she told Penelope how they were trapped by the guards and thanks to the twins, Mr Saltzman and Caroline, they managed to escape, and how now they were left to recover upstairs, before they had to explain their whole mission to their principal and face the consequences.

Penelope just nodded throughout Hope's whole memory rant, still trying to fill in the gaps and reasonings behind their mission.

Penelope knew how they went to save someone, but she couldn't remember who that someone was...

There was a knock on the door, followed by the chant of heel steps right after.

" Satan... glad you're okay. Mikaelson... my father wants to see you both downstairs. I'm afraid the whole vibe smells like an explosion. Do you mind me taking your room" Lizzie turns to Hope " I kinda need the space... Don't worry I will give it the best care possible." and when she finished both Hope and Penelope rolled their eyes in unison.

" Let's go chikas, move the bum bums!" Lizzie rushed the girls up the bed, down the stairs, straight to the living room where everyone was waiting for them.

" That's gonna be fun." Penelope nods to herself as Hope gulps.
