Two
Getting out of the car, Josie and Lizzie Saltzman are here. They volunteered to be tour guides, they just want to see if either can date the new werewolf since he's cute. I don't see it, then again I'm into older men. Specifically vampires.
"Welcome to the Salvatore School" Lizzie greets and introduces themselves "we're your tour guides"
"I'm Josie" Josie smiles before picking me up, she's the only one who knows besides Hope, Headmaster Saltzman, Penelope, Wade and MG about me shifting. I like her better than Lizzie, Lizzie can be obtuse about reality sometimes.
"I'm Lizzie" Lizzie greets "sisters"
"Twins" Josie adds scratching my head, Lizzie even scratches under my chin.
"Fraternal" Lizzie has blonde hair while Josie has dark brown, Lizzie has blue eyes while Josie has brown, Josie's face is more oval shaped while Lizzie's is heart shaped "obvs"
"Rafael" Headmaster Saltzman motions to his daughters "why don't you go ahead with the girls while I talk to Landon" Rafael looks at us all skeptical, not sure how to react but on guard.
"Morning Hope" Lizzie and Josie greet taking Rafael away as I jump out of Josie's arms into Hope's.
"Ow" Hope growled at me and I merely whack my tail in her face.
Lizzie smirks telling Rafael "More like despair"
"I heard that" Hope rolls her eyes while I growl
"No, you didn't!" Lizzie yells
"Didn't have to!" Hope says loud enough before looking down at me "you couldn't have just scratched her face? Or her arm?" Maybe next time.
"Everyone behave" Headmaster Saltzman demands
"Love you, dad" Josie and Lizzie simultaneously say
"So" Headmaster Saltzman motions to inside "let's get started" walking into the school and to his office, he asks "I'm curious Landon—Slow down!" A bunch of kids run by "were you aware of us when you lived in Mystic Falls?"
"Uh" he looks around at the students and magic being done around us "I knew Hope had a cousin, that the both of them went to some fancy boarding school. People in town said it was for troubled rich kids, I see the rich part is true" seeing a student levitate a few books "nobody in town mentioned anyone in here could do that"
"No one in Mystic Falls" Headmaster Saltzman opens the door to his office "knows much about us, we blend in just enough" taking off his jacket to place on the coat rack, Landon sits remains standing as Hope closes the door "to keep people from asking too many questions" lightly scratching my cousin's arm, she rolls her eyes.
"Your becoming more finicky" Hope whispers to me "you know that right?"
Merely meowing while Headmaster Saltzman sits down about to give a speech but he knows people have watched Harry Potter "Normally I would have a speech prepared—peeling back the layers of mystical history, but it turns out most people have read Harry Potter"
Landon raises his eyebrows shocked "You're a school for magic?"
"We are a school for the supernatural" Headmaster Saltzman corrects, jumping down I shift back into my human form before leaving.
Going to my room that I share with Hope, since having the last name Mikaelson—people don't tend to trust you. Hope less so than me, I guess the only thing I like about my dad was who he was. How he wasn't known as the Great Evil, not like Uncle Klaus. My dad kept his promises, for the most part.
"I remember you" turning my head to see the Saltzman twins and Rafael, Lizzie is jealous with how Rafael is looking at me "you helped me with my transitioning, are you a werewolf too?"
Lizzie scoffs "She isn't that self absorbed"
"Pot calling the kettle" Lizzie and I glare at one another, if you think we're frenemies we aren't. We simply hate each other, I don't know what Lizzie's problem with me is and I don't care why. Not anymore.
"This is Liv" Josie introduced me to Rafael "she's Hope's younger cousin" I'm fifteen and Hope is seventeen "Liv this is Rafael"
"Thank you" he thanks me having Lizzie roll her eyes "for helping me last night...would it really have been hours?"
"Yes..." nodding my head "good to see you not in pain" going outside to the game Wickery, invented by the Saltzman twins—it's our version of Quidditch. In Wickery is more violent than Quidditch. I like watching this version of Quidditch, more realistic since people do get hurt while in Quidditch they try to avoid it as much as possible.
"How was compulsing?" I ask MG, there was a seat open next to him. MG is one of my few friends here, I've got more friends then Hope as in I'm Hope's only friend here.
MG snorts "Did you hear yourself just now?"
I think about it before my lips twitch upwards amused "Now I did...well?"
"He's got vervain in his system" MG explains the situation as we clap for the team that just scored "so we brought him down to the dungeons as you like to call them"
"The basement is filled with cages" shaking my head hiding my hands out "the name fits" looking over at Josie who joins us while Rafael is alone with Lizzie "you know if you like someone, you should for them. Don't stop yourself just because your demon twin can't take a hint" Josie and MG give me looks "you know I'm right about Lizzie being a demon at times" I'm itching to just start the new club dedicated to hating Lizzie, a support group for those who hate Lizzie and need to vent about her.
"It's not a competition" she reminds us "plus I'm still nursing a wounded soul" they ended because of Lizzie. Lizzie not giving Josie the space she needs to be herself, Lizzie always needs someone to help nurse he wounded souk and that's Josie. Josie can barely be herself because of Lizzie.
"Penelope Park" MG nods his head
"We don't" remaining him that the one person Josie let herself actually like dumped her "mention her name around Josie anymore, remember?"
"At all" Josie corrects
"She's my friend" looking at Josie who isn't smiling "I won't bring her up around you, but it doesn't mean I won't lose her"
"Do you think" MG has had a crush on Lizzie since arriving here, she has never once noticed him "he'll go for her?"
"Probably" Josie sighs looking at Lizzie and Rafael "they usually do"
"That's if Lizzie doesn't bring up his dead boyfriend" crossing my arms under my boobs pushing them up, I learned that if you cross your arms over your boobs your boobs will sag while not so much if you have them under "you know MG, there are plenty of other girls around here who are interested in you. Don't have your heart set on the one who will break it" reading Lizzie's lips, I snort covering my mouth smiling.
"What?" Josie asks
"You have a chance at being Rafael's friend" shaking with laughter "Lizzie just brought up his dead girlfriend, the fact that everyone around here is happy to know he's single, then brought up what kind of guy he is regarding being hot, damaged, angry" shoving Josie's shoulder lightly "go talk to him, offer to show him where Landon is"
"Lizzie needs me" Josie gets up and goes over to her sister who stormed away.
Shaking my head, looking at MG "Why don't we go introduce ourselves?"
"Aren't you terrible at talking to people?" MG asks me
"That's why" taking his arm as we get off the bleachers "your coming with, let's give Rafael a reason to go out with Josie or the very least be friends" he nods his head as we go after Rafael.
"Rafael" he stops turning around to us "Hi, I'm MG"
"Hi" he nods his head
"Didn't like Wickery?" MG asks
Shaking his head "It was entertaining to watch...I want to just go find Landon. Where is he?"
"In the dungeons" I say when MG nudges me to say something.
"What?!" Rafael demands as MG gave me a look.
"I told you" hissing at him "I stand here and listen, that's it"
"What she means" MG corrects as Rafael was close to unleashing his inner werewolf "is that your friend is where werewolves go to transform, there are cells there so it's why Liv said dungeon"
"Is he alright?" He demands shaking his head
"We can take you to him" I offer "but he can't be let out of Headmaster Saltzman put him there"
"Take me to him" Rafael demands "now" When we do, Landon goes to the bars as Rafael runs to him "Let him out"
"We can't do that" MG shakes his head "the best we can do is bring you to him"
"I'm going to find my cousin and Headmaster Saltzman" whispering to him as I quickly leave the situation, right now is the training time between Hope and Headmaster Saltzman.
I find Hope using a spell to put Headmaster Saltzman on his back "Maybe" they look my way "you should have a vampire start training her? You don't want your bones to get all broken"
"How dare you?" He asks as Hope helps him up "come to join us in training?"
Shaking my head no "Came to watch"
"How's Rafael settling into things?" Headmaster Saltzman asks
"Meh" shrugging my shoulders "Do you and Landon have a thing? Is that possible? I thought police tape was covered all over your naughty bits?"
Hope muttered a spell having the water from the lake hit me, drenching me with water "Do you have a thing?" Headmaster Saltzman asks
"I don't have a thing with him" she denies, she so likes him.
"Yes" Headmaster Salztman confirms "I'm well aware of your quest to avoid all emotional intimacy" Hope just focused on her punches "there was obviously something"
"You laughed" I say "and then got all upset when you mentioned him moving"
"Fine" she admits "I liked him, he's normal" I catch her fist when she started to add in her werewolf strength.
"Let's keep him that way" she yanks her hand back "let's not force this world upon him when we don't have to"
"Liv's right" Headmaster Saltzman agreed with me "we survive because we follow the rules, we can't get sloppy about it"
"You're the one that's always telling me" Hope sighs exasperated with us "I need to get out more or go with you to events"
"He tells you not to lock yourself up in our dorm binge-watching Cutthroat Kitchen" she gives me a look "not to mingle with muggles"
"This isn't Harry Potter" shaking her head "you can say humans"
"Muggles"
"Girls" Headmaster Saltzman stops the fight that was about to ensue, things have gotten worse between me and Hope in the last couple of years. Before we use to be very close, until Hope made a decision that not only broke her life but mine as well "Hope, I don't tell you to go fraternize with the humans"
"You know" Hope suggests "you can just be my headmaster, all this other stuff isn't in the job description"
"Attempt to make a friend here" He suggests "like Liv has then we'll reevaluate this"
"How is it" Hope looks at me "you've managed to make a few friends here"
"My friends and I are weird" looking at Headmaster Saltzman "no offense to Josie" looking back at Hope "I just found interests with them, first with Wade then Penelope Park then MG and now Josie"
"And this is good" Headmaster Saltzman nods his head "make one friend Hope, find an interest you both share. It's not the end of the world if you make a friend" for Hope though it might be.
