The Parker
"You're all pale. Are you okay?" Josie asks who sat on the bed now focusing her full attention on Hope.
Hope hadn't slept well since seeing the headline on the newspaper. She didn't even have the courage to read the article about the massacre.
Hope do not know just how to approach the subject with Josie.
So she doesn't.
"Are you a witch?" the tribride asks, sitting up on the bed to now face Josie.
"Yeah, sort of ... I hope that's not what kept you from sleeping last night, you kept turning around ..."
"No, I just slept badly. What do you mean by sort of?"
"I really don't like to talk about it, maybe I'll tell you later, okay?" Hope nods affirmatively.
Josie gets up and begins to dress, she passes some clothes to Hope and takes the bag with the ascendant.
"Hope?" the call Josie which makes returned the other girl.
"What?" Hope sees how embarrassed Josie is, she starts to worry slightly.
"When will he be out of this prison. Won't you let me down? I don't know what to do or how to behave in the future. No your present from my fut-" Hope cut her because she didn't want Josie to have pain. head in the morning
"I will never let you down."
"It is a promise ?"
"It is a promise." Josie's smirk also returned that he was gone.
"Careful I'll end up believing that you like me," the Parker joked lightly as she left the bedroom.
“I do…” Hope mutters to herself.

Hope glances at Josie who is rebuilding the ascendant in the Parker family's living room sofa. She slips into the kitchen and picks up the newspaper she started reading yesterday.
"The Portland community is in shock, the bodies of two children are found along with four adults, including a teenage girl left for dead. "I do not understand." Explains a witness who wishes to remain anonymous. "They were good kids, that stuff doesn't happen here." The big sister, Josette aged 16, disappeared from the crime scene.
Police report that this massacre is "inhumane" and very - >>
Hope stops reading when she feels a breath in the back of her neck.
"Oh, I remember that." Said a voice behind her, picking up the newspaper Hope was reading.
"I'm sorry for your family."
"You don't have to be, it was very satisfying to drown my little brother in the creek next to my house." Josie said with a big nostalgic smile.
"What?" Hope looks at her in shock, she struggles to understand.
"He always makes fun of me because I can't swim. In a way that's kind of justice." Explains the brunette by placing the newspaper on the counter, and she starts to help herself a glass of water. "Did you know you could live without a spleen?"
"What?" Hope repeats stupidly, not knowing what to say. Josie turns to Hope with a manic smile.
"Do you want tea ?" Offers Parker showing him a random cup..
"You ... did you kill them?" Hope asks in a shaky voice.
"Yeah, it's one of the best times of my life!" Josie exclaimed happily and wistfully.
"You are a monster." Josie looked hurt for a second, but she only showed annoyance.
"Why do you say that ?"
"You committed murders."
"This is very hypocritical coming from a wolf, remind me how you triggered your wolf side?"
Silence follows.
"Good as I thought. Get your things ready, I managed to rebuild the ascendant."
"I thought it must take at least two days." Hope finds herself changing the subject so easily.
"I hadn't really paid attention to the time before, I said two days off the top." Explains Josie, which immediately annoyed Hope.
"Jo, I won't let you leave here." Announces the tribrid of a determined area.
"What are you talking about, Hopey?"
"I'm not going to let you out of this prison, I refuse to help you."
"Seriously? Come on Hope, aren't you going to screw all of this on me because I didn't tell you about two or three little murders !?"
Hope didn't answer and settled down on the sofa.
"Apparently so ..."
