Chapter 14- The One Where Everyone Gets Their Memories Back.

It was 7am when Josie's alarm went off. She groaned as she rolled over to turn it off. Lizzie was still asleep in the bed next to her. Josie forced herself up and she sat in her bed for a few minutes before she finally decided to move. Josie checked her phone and she realised that she had a message from Hope.

Hope: Good morning baby. Me and your Dad will be in around 9am. Actually nervous about coming back there :/ xxx

Josie smiled as she read it. She quickly typed out a reply.

Josie: Good morning beautiful. That's fine. I'll let Dorian know. Awe baby there's no need to be nervous. It'll be fine. :) Plus, if you make it through this in one piece… I have a surprise for you ;) 3 xxx

Hope: Ooo, what is it? :D 3 xxx

Josie: If you behave, you'll find out :P 3 xxx

Hope: Ugh, not fair… See you soon baby 3 xxx

"Ugh God. What's got you smiling like a weirdo at 7:15 in the morning?" Lizzie groaned as she sat up to face Josie.

"Hope's coming in today." Josie smiled.

"Why is she coming in?" Lizzie frowned.

"Oh, erm, her and Dad are coming in because I'm giving everyone their memories back."

"That doesn't explain why she is coming in though."

"She's coming in because she wants to make sure everything works out and Dad is coming in to do damage control… OH! That reminds me. When everyone gets knocked out, I need you to stay out of the bedroom." Josie smiled.

"Why do I need to stay out of the… Ohhh wait, never mind." Lizzie shook her head. "And no I won't. I don't want to be stuck with MG and Dad for 2 hours. I'd rather watch paint dry."

"Lizzie please. I'm begging you here. Plus you owe me." Josie pleaded.

"I don't owe you anything…" Lizzie replied.

"Oh yes you do! After walking in on us yesterday… you owe me."

"That still doesn't mean I owe you." Lizzie laughed.

"Okay, well I didn't want to do this, but you are forcing my hand." Josie unlocked her phone and opened up her photo album, pulling up the picture she took of Lizzie and MG yesterday. "If you don't let me and Hope have the bedroom to ourselves… I will print out this picture and post it all over the school." Josie said as she stood up from the bed and showed the photo to Lizzie.

"You wouldn't dare… Did you take this yesterday?" Lizzie frowned as she tried to reach for Josie's phone.

"Ah, not a chance… This is not the only copy of the photo." Josie grinned as she quickly pulled the phone away before Lizzie could grab it.

"Ugh. FINE! I'll stay away. Just don't show anyone that photo. I look horrendous." Lizzie scoffed as she forced herself off the bed and headed to the bathroom.

"Love you Lizzie!" Josie called after her, laughing. Josie jumped across the room to her dresser. She pulled out a fresh uniform and got dressed. She danced around the room for a while before she finally decided to head down for breakfast.

MG was sat in the dining room when she arrived. "Hey! What's got you in such a good mood?" MG asked.

"Hope's coming in today." Josie beamed.

"Didn't you see her like 12 hours ago?" MG replied.

"Yeah, but today everyone is getting their memories back and that will finally give me and Hope some time alone. I've already convinced Lizzie to give me the bedroom… But I need you to keep both my dad and Lizzie busy." Josie responded.

"Oh fair enough, it's cool that she is coming in today. But what do I get in return for keeping your dad busy? I can cope with Lizzie, but having to look after both of them, I'm going to need something in return." MG laughed.

"Fine okay, what do you want?"

"I want a Marvel movies night." MG shrugged.

"Fine, fine… I'll do it." Josie huffed, but secretly she couldn't wait.

"Good. So what time are they getting here?" MG asked.

"In… 40 minutes." Josie stated as she checked her phone.

"Okay, so how is this going to work? I mean… What's the plan?" MG questioned.

"So during the assembly, Dorian is going to introduce Hope as a new student joining the school, Me and Lizzie will do our "welcome to the school, we'll give you a tour" bit then I'll give everyone their memories back." Josie replied.

"Cool, cool. Feels like the Super Squad is back at it." MG laughed.

Josie and MG carried on talking for a while until she got a text from Hope.

Hope: Just pulling up now babe xxx

"Hope's here, gotta go. See you in a bit MG." Josie said as she stood up and skipped out the dining room.

Josie met Hope and Alaric by the school entrance. "Morning Dad!" She greeted him with a hug.

"Morning Josie." Alaric replied. "I'm going to go and find Dorian."

Josie stepped towards Hope. "Good morning beautiful." Josie smiled as she pulled Hope into a kiss.

"Good morning baby." Hope smiled back.

"Are you ready for this?" Josie asked as she rested her hands on Hope's cheeks.

"I guess." Hope shrugged as she placed her hands on top of Josie's and gave her palms a simple kiss before she took her right hand in her own and they walked towards the Great Hall for the assembly.

Hope sat down next to Josie, Lizzie and MG. "Hey guys." Hope smiled.

"Ugh, I can't wait for everyone to get their memories back, hopefully you'll be less of a pain in the ass." Lizzie commented.

"Hey, Hope." MG replied.

"Funny. I was just going to say the same about you Lizzie." Hope laughed.

Over the other side of the room Landon and Raf walked in and sat down. Landon's eyes wandered around the room before they finally landed on Josie. "Hey Raf, who's that girl sat next to Josie?" Landon frowned.

"I think her name is Hope. I've seen her around Mystic Falls." Raf replied. "She's hot."

"Oh, I shared a milkshake with her once. Since when did she become friends with Josie?" Landon asked.

"Oh cool, so you know her then. Do you think you can put in a good word for me?" Raf smiled. "Oh wait... Never mind." Raf and Landon both spotted Hope leaning into kiss Josie's cheek.

"Do you think that's the person Josie cheated on me with?" Landon frowned.

"I don't know, maybe? I thought you were over Josie anyway…" Raf replied.

"I was… I am… Just seeing her with someone else… hurts." Landon shook his head and turned his attention to Dorian who was just about to start the assembly.

"Good morning everyone. I just have a few announcements this morning. The first thing is: Whoever keeps enchanting paper airplanes, please stop. Pedro got poked in the eye, luckily, he wasn't hurt. The second: Can the seniors please remember to continue with your mentoring sessions as they account for 2/3 of your personal development grade. And for the last point I am going to ask Doctor Saltzman to come up and speak to you all. Alaric…" Dorian stated as he gestured to Alaric.

"Hey everyone. So I am here to talk to you about what happened with the Malivore Pit." Alaric took a deep breath and looked at Hope. "But first things first… Josie, Hope… Will you come up here?"

There were a few murmurs escaping from some of the students. They all seemed confused by what was happening. Hope took hold of Josie's hand as they made their way up to the front of the assembly. "Are you ready?" Hope whispered.

"Yeah. I can do this…" Josie replied as she squeezed Hope's hand. Josie took a deep breath and started syphoning magic from Hope, then her eyes turned black and her hands shot out in front of her and she started repeating "Harae-tamai Kioku Yomigaerashi-tamae" a couple of times, each time with more conviction than the last. The black wave escaped from Josie's hands and washed over every person at the school. Within seconds everyone except for Josie, Lizzie, Hope, MG and Alaric slumped over in their seats.

"Well, that went… better than I thought it would." Alaric stated.

"That's because Josie knows what she's doing." Hope replied.

Lizzie and MG stood up and joined the other three.

"So what are we going to do now?" MG asked.

"Well me and Hope are going to go for a walk." Josie smiled.

"We are?" Hope tilted her face towards Josie.

"Yes." Josie said as she kissed Hope's cheek. "It's time for you to get naked." She whispered, Hope whimpered slightly, and MG choked on thin air. Lizzie and Alaric just stared at him, confused.

"You okay there, MG?" Josie laughed.

"Yup, yup… I'm fine." MG mumbled as he tried to avert his eyes away from the couple.

"That teaches you not to listen to other people's conversations." Hope grinned.

"Noted. Have fun girls." MG said as he stared at the floor.

"See you later guys." Josie smiled as she pulled Hope out of the room.

"I don't wanna know what just happened do I?" Lizzie asked.

"No, no you don't." MG shook his head.

Josie and Hope made their way through the eerily quiet school up to Josie's bedroom. They had stopped just short of the door when Josie turned to Hope and said, "Wait here for one minute" then kissed her before she disappeared into the bedroom.

Josie rushed into the room and cast a quick spell to materialise some candles, lighting them. Then she hung some fairy lights across the bed's headboard. She quickly shoved Lizzie's clothes into her dresser and had one last look around to make sure that the room was presentable before she walked over to the door and welcomed Hope inside.

Hope's eyes wandered across the room. "Baby, this is beautiful. You are beautiful." Hope smiled and stepped closer to Josie and kissed her.

"Thanks baby. I did this for you. I even blackmailed Lizzie to stay out of the room, so we could actually be alone. But for safe measures I'll put a spell on the door." Josie smiled back.

Josie spelled the door shut then turned back to Hope and pulled her into a deep and passionate kiss. She started to walk Hope backwards until her legs hit the edge of the bed. Hope broke their kiss as she kicked her shoes off then sat down on the bed and shuffled herself into the middle, propping herself up by the pillows. Josie climbed on after her and straddled her legs. Their lips met again in a fiery passion.

Josie made quick work of Hope's top, pulling it off and throwing it on the floor. Hope reignited their kiss, she rolled her tongue across the brunette's lip before she slipped it inside her mouth. Josie moaned at the intrusion, welcoming it with her own tongue. She placed her hands onto Hope's cheeks and pulled her closer. Hope toyed with the bottom of Josie's shirt, pulling at it, pushing it up and dragging her nails slightly across the brunette's skin.

After a few minutes of intense and passionate kissing, Hope had had enough with toying with her girlfriend's shirt and she ripped it open, causing the buttons to fly around the room. "That was my favourite shirt." Josie pouted.

Hope responded by planting her face in the brunette's cleavage and started to leave a trail of kisses across her chest. "Sorry baby." She muttered as she pulled the now torn shirt from Josie's arms and snaked her hand up her girlfriends back and unclasped her bra. She teared the article from Josie's body and forced her down onto her back. Hope started kissing along the brunette's collarbone, occasionally grazing her teeth across her soft spots, knowing that it drives her mad.

As Josie felt Hope's teeth on her neck for the first time today, her hands immediately found themselves on the redhead's back, her nails digging and dragging across Hope's skin. "Fuck… I love that." Hope moaned into her neck. Josie laughed and dug her nails in again, causing Hope to bite down slightly on her neck as she rocked into her. The brunette unclasped the older girl's bra and pulled it off her body. She used all her strength to flip Hope over and she sat on top of her. Josie bent her head down and laid kisses and a few hickeys on Hope's neck and collarbone.

After Josie was happy with her work, she started to move down Hope's body. She kissed her way onto Hope's breasts. Her fingers danced lightly across her skin as she took a nipple in her mouth. Her tongue flicked across the little nub as she gently grazed her teeth on the sensitive area, eliciting a small moan from Hope. Eventually Josie let the nipple fall out of her mouth and she took the other one in her mouth, giving it the same treatment before she let it fall and she started to leave a trail of kisses down her girlfriend's body.

Josie stopped just short of Hope's trousers. Her hands hovered slightly as she looked up to meet Hope's gaze. "It's okay baby, I want this…" Hope smiled as she brought her hand up to Josie's cheek, running her thumb across the brunette's lips. Josie grinned and quickly gave Hope a passionate kiss before she returned to her previous position, shuffling herself to the bottom of Hope's legs.

Josie hurriedly unbuttoned Hope's trousers and whipped them from her legs. Hope gasped and Josie giggled before she dropped her head down to Hope's thigh and started kissing her way up the shorter girl's legs until she reached her centre. Josie gently slipped her finger into the edge of Hope's thong and ran her mid-knuckle along her full length. The brunette dipped her head and placed a simple kiss at the top of her girlfriend's slit, before she smoothly parted the folds and let her tongue move freely down from her little bundle of nerves to her entrance and back again. Josie continued this motion for a while as she could feel Hope withering underneath her, occasionally her little moans filled the room.

Just as soon as Josie inserted a finger inside Hope's wet entrance the bedroom door burst open and Lizzie rushed in. "Oh God!" She gagged.

"For fuck sake Lizzie… I told you not to bother us!" Josie shouted as she glared at her sister, her finger still inside Hope.

"I know. It's just… We have a problem." Lizzie stated.

"Well, deal with it then!" Josie retorted.

"We can't… we need Hope!" Lizzie spat. "Come on, we don't have time for this!"

"For God sake! Fine… Leave, so we can get dressed please." Josie stared.

Lizzie just groaned as she turned and walked out the door. "Hurry up though!"

"Ugh! Let's just face it… We are never going to have sex." Hope groaned as her head dropped back on the mattress.

"We will, one day… I promise baby." Josie smiled as she finally removed her finger from inside Hope and placed it in her own mouth, sucking it clean.

"You look soo hot when you do that." Hope grinned as she forced herself up to sitting and pulled Josie into a kiss.

"We should really get dressed." Josie groaned as she rested her head on Hope's shoulder.

After Josie and Hope walked away, there was only Lizzie, MG and Alaric left with about 100 passed out students and a handful of teachers. It felt kind of strange that they were the only ones awake. Alaric walked around all the students and teachers to make sure they were all still breathing before he returned to Lizzie and MG.

"So what do you want to do for the next 2 hours?" MG asked.

"I don't really care." Lizzie replied as she flopped down into a chair. "Why does Josie have to spend time with Hope anyway? It's not fair that I get cast aside. I'm her sister."

"Yeah, and Hope is her girlfriend. She's allowed to spend time with her. Plus we all know that they have been vibing for years." MG replied.

"Yeah but it's still my sister. It's gross." Lizzie shook her head.

"What are you talking about?" Alaric asked.

"Nothing daddy." Lizzie smiled.

"I probably don't want to know anyway." Alaric shook his head. "So they all seem to be fine, but I think we should stay in here just in case something goes wrong."

After about an hour, MG heard a noise coming from outside the school, he stood up and walked over to a window and peered outside. "Erm. Guys, we have a problem…" He stated.

"What is it MG?" Alaric asked.

"There's a horde of zombies walking towards the school." MG panicked. Alaric and Lizzie ran to the window to see for themselves.

"Right, that's a problem considering we have over 100 kids passed out right now. Lizzie go and get Hope." Alaric stated.

"Josie will kill me, I'm not going." Lizzie retorted.

"LIZZIE! GO AND GET HOPE NOW! Don't argue with me." Alaric replied.

"Well, it'll be your fault when you have to plan my funeral." Lizzie huffed as she walked away.

"MG, we need to barricade the main doors… Can you find some things to prop against it? I'll go and get some weapons." Alaric asked.

"Sure thing Doctor S." MG nodded then sped out of the room.

MG started to push some tables and chairs up against the door, whilst Alaric headed down to the armoury to collect his crossbow, a machete and an axe. When he arrived back at the main doors, the zombies had busted the glass of the doors and were trying to force their way inside.

"What the hell is happening?" Hope huffed as she joined the others.

"We're being attacked by zombies. Again!" MG shouted as he leaned his weight against the furniture that was placed in front of the door.

Alaric threw an axe over to Hope and she caught it. "Right, MG. Move away from the door and let them come in. I'm ready." Hope stated.

MG did what he was told. He sped over to Alaric and picked up a machete, before joining Hope near the door. It didn't take the zombie's long to break through the barricade. Josie and Lizzie appeared just as the first zombie made its way over to Hope and MG. Hope noticed the girls out of the corner of her eye. "Josie get back!" She snarled.

"Oh thanks Hope! What about me?" Lizzie quipped.

"I couldn't really care less about you at the minute Lizzie." Hope retorted as her axe connected with the first Zombie's head, slicing it in half.

"I thought that with you dating my sister that it would have made you soft… I guess it just made you more of a bitch." Lizzie snorted, then screamed when zombie brains splattered her clothes. "HOPE! Watch what you are doing!"

"Move out the way then Lizzie! GOD use your brain for once!" Hope spat as she sliced through another zombie. Lizzie just stood there, she was about to say something when a zombie ran up to her, she screamed. MG quickly turned on his heels and sliced the head off the zombie that was trying to attack Lizzie. Blood splattered her face. Lizzie ran to the nearest bathroom, quickly followed by Josie.

Hope, MG and Alaric made quick work of killing the zombies. After they killed the last one Hope ran to find Josie. She found her in the bathroom with Lizzie, trying to get blood and brains out of her sister's hair and clothes. "Hey baby, I'm glad you're safe." Hope said as she rushed over and pulled her into a hug from behind and kissed her cheek.

"Yeah baby, I'm fine." Josie smiled.

"Yeah, I'm fine too. Thanks for asking Hope." Lizzie scoffed. Hope raised her eyebrow and laughed dryly.

"You two need to learn how to be nice to each other." Josie stated.

"I would be a lot nicer to her if she didn't constantly walk in on us when we are trying to have sex." Hope replied.

"Oh, do you really think I would do it on purpose? I am permanently scarred for life after what I have witnessed." Lizzie retorted.

"I don't know Lizzie, seems to me like you enjoy walking in…" Hope deadpanned.

"Gross Hope." Lizzie shook her head then walked out of the bathroom.

"Finally, we are alone… again." Hope smiled as she spun Josie around, pushed her up against the wall and kissed her, slightly more forcefully than necessary, although Josie didn't mind it.

Josie finally broke the kiss when she said "You know, it wouldn't kill you too be nicer to her. I do have to live with her and so do you."

Hope moved her head from Josie's lips to her neck and started nipping slightly at the skin. "I know, but she just annoys me so much sometimes." Hope mumbled against Josie's skin. Her hands trailed down from Josie's waist to her thighs, gently but greedily playing with the hem of the brunette's skirt. Her fingers lifted the skirt slightly and slowly inched their way to her ass until she reached Josie's cheeks and pulled her closer.

"Fuck me… you are so horny after you've been fighting." Josie moaned.

"You don't know the half of it." Hope moaned as she started to kiss down Josie's chest. Josie's hands found themselves tangled up in Hope's hair.

"Well that's… new." Alyssa Chang's smug voice rang out across the bathroom. "I thought you were dating that weirdo boy… Landon."

"Fuck off Alyssa." Hope growled.

"Don't get use to… whatever it is you two are doing… It won't last long, now that everyone has their memories back." Alyssa laughed dryly before she quickly turned on her heels and walked back out. Hope dropped her hands from Josie's ass and rested them on the wall either side of her then she rested her head on the brunette's shoulder. "Looks like people are starting to wake up." Hope sighed.

"Seems like it." Josie smiled slightly. "Are you ready?" Josie placed her hands on Hope's cheeks, lifting her face.

"Yeah… Just remember that whatever happens, know that I love you." Hope replied as she gave Josie a quick kiss before she stepped away from her girlfriend and shook her head.

"I love you too Hope. Okay, let's go." Josie smiled as she took Hope's hand in her own and they left the bathroom.

Hope and Josie walked hand in hand down the corridor until they reached the Great Hall. Hope let her hand fall from her girlfriend's as they entered the room. Immediately, Landon spotted Hope and ran over to her.

"HOPE! Thank god! I can't believe you're alive. I'm so happy to see you. I've missed you." He pulled Hope into a hug then kissed her.
