Hello all :) Had trouble deciding between a couple subjects for H, finally got it. Hope you enjoy. Disclaimer: I do not own Bloodlines…or it's characters.
Hopper
Hopper remembered the day he was born. He'd been floating in the Between, in limbo, for quite some time. Frankly he was bored with it, so when he was cast into a world of bright light and heat he relished in it for a moment before peaking open his eyes to observe his new mother or father. Turns out, he got both. The blonde and brunette stared at him gaping as his hunger got the best of them and he started shrieking. They began backing up panicked and whispering. The brunette finally came forward and scooped him into a wooden box thing. It was dark again.
When light peeked into the box and a plate of something oh-so-heavenly was dropped in the gobbled it up. Each piece better than the last. His mom and dad finally got the courage to bring him out to see the world. They were still talking in hushed tones but his mother let him snuggle into her. It was perfection.
The perfection lasted for months with him switching off being with his mom and his dad. After a while a brunette with the same flower on her face as his mom came. Hopper didn't like her because it meant less time in callistana form with his mom and more time as a rock. He was still happy though, he had two loving parents that let him play and eat and protect them. It didn't last.
A few months after Hopper was brought back to the land of the aware his mother mysteriously disappeared while he was in rock form. He could feel her panic, her pain, and wanted to take it away. He could feel his father's despair and anger as well. Unfortunately, as a rock, he could do nothing. This went on until the light was brought back to him. His eyes blinked open wearily and found he was cuddled into his mom's arms. Too tired to ask for food, he had to rely on the weird man in uniform to drop it off. His mother was as tired and hungry as he was on that day.
It was hectic over the next few months. His Aunt Jill went missing and for some reason Uncle Eddie wouldn't talk to anyone, Aunt Angeline was angry all the time, Uncle Neil was desperate, and Uncle Trey was rarely around. Even after his family got Aunt Jill back things were weird and rushed. As if someone was hiding something. Then it happened.
His dad came home one day furious and his mom was crying. When his dad realized his mom was crying his anger disappeared and he cradled her and murmured soothing things. Hopper bounced in and they held him as well. They were afraid, that much he knew, but of what? What was so terrible he couldn't protect them? They moved homes yet again, this time to a faraway place with yummy food and warm weather. There was lots of art where they moved and his mom was always spouting out facts about the area.
On Hopper's last day he remembered his mom scooping him up and his dad giving him all the pie in the world. They talked to him and pet him and played with him all day. They cried a lot too and Hopper licked their tears. When the clock tolled midnight Hopper went back to the Between, to limbo, for however long it would take for another parent to come along.
Years later, after his mom and dad had kids, they still had pictures of Hopper around the house to remember. Gone, but never forgotten.
Okay, last line slightly depressing, been watching waaay too much Criminal Minds. Anywho, hope you like it and that I got the major events right. :)
