Chapter 21- All Good Things Come to An End.
Hope's lips crashed into Josie's. Her hands rested on the brunette's neck as she pushed Josie against the wall. Josie squealed slightly at the unexpected motion, but her right hand immediately went to Hope's wet hair and her left hand lightly glided down the shorter girl's back until it was halfway down her spine. The brunette dug her nails in and pulled Hope closer, causing the redhead to moan in response.
Hope's tongue danced across Josie's lower lip and pushed itself into the brunette's mouth. Her tongue crashed into Josie's. Josie dropped her hand from Hope's wet locks and dragged her nails down the redhead's spine to meet her other hand. Josie gathered her strength and pushed herself away from the wall and manoeuvred herself and pushed Hope into the bedroom door, never breaking their kiss.
One of Hope's hands dropped from Josie's neck as she pushed the door handle down, opening the door, and pulled Josie inside the room and pulled her towards the bed. Josie broke the kiss and forced Hope sideways across the mattress. Hope grinned at her girlfriend and tried to adjust herself up the bed.
"Don't move." Josie stated, her head tilted slightly to take in the older girl's position. Hope's back was flat against the mattress and her toned legs hanged over the edge of the bed; her feet cleared three inches off the ground. Hope propped herself up onto her elbows to investigate why Josie isn't touching her. But she was stopped when Josie's lips met hers.
"I said, don't move." Josie grinned as she parted herself from her girlfriend and pushed her down on the bed. Josie stood up and moved over to the dresser and pulled out her vibrator. She sauntered back over to her girlfriend and dropped to her knees. She placed the toy on the bed then wrapped her hands under Hope's knees and pulled the shorter girl to the end of the bed, spreading her legs open.
"Oh shit." Hope moaned at the sudden movement, her hands flailed on the mattress to try and stop it, but she quickly realised what was going to happen. Her hands stretched out to meet Josie's that rested on her thighs, their fingers interlaced as Josie placed small, soft kisses on the inside of her girlfriend's legs, taking her time. She kissed up the inside of Hope's right thigh, skipped over her centre then trailed kisses down her left thigh, stopping just above the shorter girl's knee.
The brunette stood up and hovered her face over Hope's face. She dropped her mouth to the redhead's ear and whispered, "I'm going to fuck you now." Before she lightly bit along Hope's jawline and kissed her lips before she returned to her previous position. She trailed her tongue back up Hope's thigh before it stopped just shy of her girlfriend's pussy.
Josie unravelled her right hand from Hope's and brought it down to her centre. Her fingers danced lightly over the lower lips before she used two fingers to part them as she flicked her tongue over the shorter girl's clit. Her movements were soft and slow but deliberate. It was in that moment that Hope was glad her girlfriend was experienced.
Hope lifted her head slightly to try and catch a view of her girlfriend's amazing work, only to be met by Josie's chocolate brown eyes staring at her. Josie's concentration and movements never broke once, and Hope could have sworn she saw the brunette grin at her from between her legs.
Josie picked up the purple toy and switched it on. The sounds of the light vibrations filled the silence that fell between Hope's soft moans. Josie released her mouth from between Hope's legs and shuffled back onto her heels as she brought the vibrator to the place her mouth just left. The brunette lightly placed the toy onto Hope's clit and smiled when her girlfriend squirmed at the sensation.
Josie moved the toy up and down Hope's length, letting the vibrations rest for a few seconds on the shorter girl's entrance before she brought it back up to her clit. She did this several times before she took it back down to her entrance and left it there, before she slowly pushed it inside. "Hmmm… fucckkk." Hope moaned as Josie pushed the toy in about an inch before she pulled it back out, repeating the motion for a minute, each time pushing it further inside her girlfriend until she took the full length.
Josie's hand steadied the toy as she watched Hope wriggle against the vibrations. "Are you okay baby?" Josie asked. Hope nodded, unable to speak as her voice was caught in her throat by moans. Josie smiled at the sight of her girlfriend coming undone beneath her.
After a few seconds, Josie started to slowly thrust the vibrator within Hope's walls, taking her time to build up pressure and speed. Hope moans filled the room as Josie started to thrust harder, her speed increased. Hope withered underneath her as she turned up the power of the vibrator. "Fuuccckkk, Josssiiieeee." Hope moaned. Josie laughed as she dipped her head to Hope's stomach and started leaving small kisses along the redhead's naval, slowly moving down to the top of her clit.
Josie's free hand parted Hope's lower lips and placed her tongue back on her girlfriend's clit as she started to feel the shorter girl's hips buck underneath her. After a few more seconds of intense thrusting, Josie pulled the toy out and dropped her mouth to Hope's entrance.
The brunette rested her right hand on the redhead's right hip as her left hand wrapped itself around Hope's left thigh as she brought it onto her shoulder. The first two fingers of her left hand flicked over Hope's clit in a furious and feverish pattern, she pushed her tongue inside Hope's entrance as she felt her girlfriend's thighs squeeze together around her face as she cummed into her mouth. "FFFUUU-FFUUUCCCCKKKKK… JJOOO-JOSSIIIEEEE! DON'T… DON'T STOP… UGGHHHH… FFUUUCCCKKKK! I LOVE YOU!"
After about thirty seconds Josie feels Hope's body go limp around her. She slowly pulls away, stands up and lies herself down next to Hope's heaving body, resting her head on the redhead's arm. Hope rolls over onto her side to face Josie, grinning. Hope leans in and kisses Josie softly before she pulls away. "That was… amazing. Better than I imagined." Hope laughed. "It kinda makes me glad that we got interrupted so many times before."
Josie laughed in response. "I'm glad that we finally had sex, well… I'm glad that I could finally fuck you. I love you." Josie leaned in and kissed Hope, softly and deep.
"Now it's time to repay the favour." Hope pushed Josie down on the bed and straddled her. Hope was feeling impatient and couldn't deal with all the buttons on Josie's shirt, so she grabbed hold of the shirt and pulled it open with very little force, smiling at the welcoming sight before her. Josie wasn't wearing a bra. "HOPE! That is the second shirt you've ruined now." Josie tried to be serious, but she couldn't help but laugh.
"Sorry." Hope chuckled as she dipped her head down to Josie's neck and started kissing and biting the left side of her girlfriend's neck, forceful enough to leave marks, but not enough to make her bleed. Her hands rolled down the brunette's stomach and her own body followed until she slipped off the edge of the bed. Hope's hands rested on top of Josie's shorts, she quickly unbuttoned them and pulled them off, along with her thong, bringing the brunette's hips to the edge of the mattress in the process.
Hope smiled at Josie before her eyes fell back down to Josie's already wet entrance. Hope hummed as she brought her mouth to her girlfriend's lower lips, her tongue pushing through the folds until it found the little bundle of nerves.
It didn't take long for Josie's moans to fill the room. She was already dripping wet from what she did to Hope. She didn't know how long she could last for as she felt herself already close to an orgasm. She forced herself to hold on for a little while longer. Hope pushed two fingers inside the brunette and started thrusting, her mouth still trained on the younger girl's clit. Josie's hands immediately tangled themselves in Hope's hair as she forced the redhead closer. After a few more finger thrusts, Josie came. "FUUCCCKKKK… HOOPPPEEEE." Josie collapsed back onto the bed.
Hope laughs as she stands up and joins Josie on the bed. "God, you are so beautiful. How did I ever get so lucky?" Hope smiles.
"I think I'm the lucky one. After everything we've been through? I think if I died now, I wouldn't care." Josie replied.
"Well considering that you still have my blood in your system, I'd be very happy about that, because then I can spend forever with you. But I don't think your parents would be." Hope laughed.
"Ah, I forgot about that… Maybe I don't want to die just yet." Josie replied.
"Ouch. I'm offended." Hope placed her hand over her heart and acted like she was wounded.
"Oh god. No. Not like that… I mean… I'd happily spend forever with you, but I'm still only 16. I want to be at least 20 before I make any decisions like that. I don't want to go down the path my mom did. Or my dad for that matter… Did you know that he died like three separate times? I think I only want to die once. Or twice at a push. What I'm trying to say is that I love you and I would do anything for you, but if possible, I want to die of old age." Josie rambled.
"You're so cute when you ramble on. I'd want nothing more than for you to die of old age. As much as I'd love to spend forever with you, I would know what it's not what you want." Hope smiled as she rolled over to kiss Josie.
"What would happen if you died of old age? Would you still come back as a vampire?" Josie mused.
"I don't actually know. I mean, I guess I would? Because a third of me is still a vampire. Oh wow. How weird would that be? Like me as an 80-year-old, grey hair, wrinkly skin, poor eyesight becoming a vampire? I think I would probably stake myself." Hope laughed.
"Can you die by a normal stake?" Josie asked.
"Not sure, why do you ask? Not planning on staking me, are you? That's not a very nice thing to do after you've just had sex with me." Hope laughed.
"No, I'm not planning on staking you. Not now, or in the future… I only asked because you're part original vampire right? Because your dad was an original and he could only die from the white oak stake. So that stands to reason that when you activate your vampire side you can only die by a White Oak stake, right?" Josie replied.
"Oh wow... Erm… I never really thought about that. Well I guess we will just have to wait and find out, right? I mean I could probably ask my Aunt Freya; she might know. But even if it's true, there aren't any White Oak stakes left, my dad used the last one." Hope shrugged as she stood up from the bed and walked over to the dresser to pull out some clean clothes for her and Josie. She passed Josie the clothes and she quickly got dressed and headed downstairs.
When Hope got downstairs, she immediately went over to the sofa and poured herself another glass of Whiskey. She necked it in one shot and poured herself another. It didn't take long for Josie to arrive. She silently walked over to Hope and wrapped her arms around the shorter girl's waist and let her chin rest on her shoulder. "I'm sorry if I upset you baby. I didn't mean to. I didn't think before I said it."
"You've got nothing to be sorry for. It's only natural that you have them questions. I've had them myself. I just don't like to think about it too much. It's still too much to think about sometimes." Hope replied as she gently swayed in the taller girl's arms. "Do you want a drink?"
"Erm, no I'm good thanks. Maybe later." Josie smiled. "Still, I'm sorry. If you want to talk about it, I'm here okay?" Josie placed a kiss on the crease between Hope's neck and shoulder. "I love you."
"I love you too." Hope smiled as she dropped her head back to meet Josie's shoulder and closed her eyes. Josie released one had from the redhead's waist and pulled her own phone from her pocket. She pulled up her playlist and scrolled to find a song. After a few seconds she found the song she was looking for. She pressed play and I Won't Give Up by Jason Mraz started playing. She turned up the volume all the way up and dropped the phone onto the sofa, then wrapped her arms back around Hope's waist. Josie started to sing along, swaying Hope in her arms.
When I look into your eyes,
It's like watching the night sky,
Or a beautiful sunrise.
There's so much they hold.
And just like them old stars,
I see that you've come so far,
To be right where you are.
How old is your soul?
I won't give up on us,
Even if the skies get rough.
I'm giving you all my love.
I'm still looking up.
And when you're needing your space,
To do some navigating.
I'll be here patiently waiting,
To see what you find.
'Cause even the stars, they burn.
Some even fall to the earth.
We've got a lot to learn.
God knows we're worth it.
No, I won't give up.
I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily,
I'm here to stay and make the difference I can make.
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use,
The tools and gifts we got yeah; we got a lot at stake.
And in the end, you're still my friend, at least we did intend,
For us to work, we didn't break, we didn't burn,
We had to learn how to bend,
Without the world, caving in.
I had to learn what I've got,
And what I've not,
And who I am.
I won't give up on us,
Even if the skies get rough.
I'm giving you all my love,
I'm still looking up.
Still looking up.
I won't give up on us (no I'm not giving up),
God knows I'm tough enough (I am tough, I am loved),
We've got a lot to learn (We're alive, we are loved),
God knows we're worth it (And we're worth it).
I won't give up on us,
Even if the skies get rough.
I'm giving you all my love,
I'm still looking up.
Halfway through the song, Hope had turned around in Josie's arm and draped her own arms around the brunette's neck. Her eyes open and watching the taller girl, smiling as she heard her girlfriend's singing, tears rolled softly off her cheeks.
Once Josie had finished singing, she wiped away her girlfriend's tears with her thumbs and placed a sweet kiss on each cheek, before she kissed her lips. When they parted, Josie's thumbs traced the outlines of Hope's face. "You make me so happy Hope. I wish I could say that everything is going to work out and that we won't ever have any trouble or any arguments. But we both know that that isn't true. We are going to fight, and we are going to argue. But I want you to know that I will always come back to you. No matter what. We belong together. We always have done, and we always will do."
Hope couldn't help but cry even harder at Josie's words. Before Hope could speak, Josie's phone rang. Josie groaned as she picked it up. "It's my mom." Josie stated. Hope nodded as Josie answered the call.
Caroline: Hey sweetie. Where are you?
Josie: I'm just at the house with Hope. Why? What's up?
Caroline: Oh great. Is there any chance you two can meet me at the old Fell Church?
Josie: I guess so? Is it urgent?
Caroline: Yeah, it kind of is. I promise I won't keep you for very long.
Josie: Okay. Give us… (Hope: twenty) twenty minutes.
Caroline: Okay, see you soon.
Josie: Bye mom.
"What's going on?" Hope asked like she hadn't just listened to the phone call.
"I'm not too sure. Mom wants us to meet her at the old Fell Church. I guess we should go and find out." Josie replied. She placed a quick kiss on Hope's forehead before Hope unwrapped herself.
Hope and Josie both put on their shoes and headed out the door. Josie ran back inside as she had left the car keys on the table then made her way out to the car. She got in the drivers' seat, buckled her seatbelt and started driving with Hope settled beside her.
"Mom, what's going on? Why did you drag me away from Stephanie?" Lizzie frowned.
"Me and Bonnie need yours and Josie's help. You'll be back soon enough." Caroline replied.
"Ugh fine!"
Lizzie got in the car with her Mom and Bonnie and they drove over to the old Fell Church.
"What are we doing here?" Lizzie asked as she got out the car.
"You and Josie are going to help Bonnie send Kai's body to the prison world, then you're going to destroy it." Caroline replied.
"Oh. Okay then." Lizzie shrugged.
It didn't take long for Hope and Josie to arrive. They got out of the car, walking hand-in-hand as they made their way over to the other three women.
"Oh they look adorable." Bonnie smiled as she watched Hope and Josie walk towards her.
"They do. It kinda makes me sad to think about it though. She looks so much like Klaus right now. But I'm happy for them." Caroline replied.
"Hey mom! What's going on?" Josie asked as she unlinked Hope's hand and hugged her mom.
"Hey sweetie. You and Lizzie are going to help Bonnie send Kai back to the prison world and then you're going to destroy it. Then me and Bonnie are going to hide the different pieces so no one can access it ever again." Caroline replied.
"Okay." Josie smiled.
Bonnie gave the girls their instructions and the three of them set about the task of opening the prison world. Hope had retrieved Kai's body and place it on the ground next to the ascendant. Bonnie, Josie and Lizzie chanted their spell and the portal opened, swallowing Kai whole.
As they closed the portal Hope joined in and helped to destroy the ascendant. It broke into twelve different pieces. Caroline and Bonnie each took six pieces each.
"Thank you for your help girls. It means a lot." Bonnie smiled. "I'm glad he's finally gone now."
"It's okay, Aunt Bonnie." Josie and Lizzie smiled.
"Josie, what are you doing now?" Caroline asked.
"I think me and Hope are going to go back to the house if that is okay?" Josie replied.
"Yeah that's fine. I'm going to go back to Europe on Friday. It would be lovely to catch up with both of you before I go." Caroline replied.
"Oh… Okay… We are do dinner tomorrow?"
"That sounds lovely. Have a good night girls. Drive safe. I love you."
"I love you too mom." Josie smiled as she took Hope's hand in her own and they walked back to the car.
"It's kinda weird that my dad and your mom used to have a thing. Imagine that. We could have been step-sisters." Hope laughed as she settled into the car seat.
"Oh wow. That would be weird. I mean it wouldn't technically be illegal because Caroline isn't my real mom, but it would still be creepy. I'm glad they didn't get together because I prefer you as my girlfriend." Josie laughed.
It was around 10pm when the girls arrived back at the house. Hope got out of the car and headed inside. She quickly rushed upstairs and got the blanket out from Caroline's bedroom and brought it back downstairs. Josie was stood in the kitchen making a coffee for them both. "Do you want to grab a DVD off the shelf?" Hope asked.
"It's your turn to pick." Josie replied.
"Okay." Hope hummed as she disappeared inside the cupboard. She emerged a few minutes later with a DVD in hand.
"Wow. I thought you had gotten lost in there." Josie laughed.
"That's funny because I decided on Narnia." Hope laughed as she held up the DVD as she bounced over to join Josie on the sofa. Hope put the DVD in and got settled. Josie curled herself up into Hope's chest as she brought the blanket to rest over them both.
"You're like a big kid sometimes." Josie laughed as she shook her head.
"Thank you." Hope beamed. "It can't be all doom and gloom all the time."
Josie hummed in response as she sunk herself deeper into Hope's body. "I love you Hope."
"I love you too Josie." Hope smiled as she placed her hands around Josie's waist.
*** In conclusion (a.k.a afterthought) ***
Alyssa was desiccated for her crimes against the Saltzman's and the Salvatore school. She was placed in the tunnels under the school. Only Alaric, Bonnie, Caroline and Hope knew where she was placed. Josie, Lizzie, Kaleb and MG knew that she Alyssa was desiccated but the rest of the students at the Salvatore School were told that she had died in the fight against Kai.
Caroline and Bonnie scattered pieces of the ascendant around the world. Bonnie had casted a spell to notify her if any of the pieces were moved and put together, to date, there hasn't been a notification.
