What Could Go Wrong

Josie held the black coat that was on her body tightly. Josie looked around the room and as parents, the dead and alive ones looked at her curiously. Josie stayed still she wasn't sure if she should run to them and hug them or just stay in the spot she was standing in.

Hope was refusing to leave her side and go find the kids, Josie did not fight the tribrid, she knew Hope was dealing with a lot of emotions at the moment. Josie took a step toward her parents when she felt a tight grip on her arm. "It's okay love, I'm here," Josie assured the tribrid. Once Hope let go of her arm Josie got closer to her parents. 

She could read the shock and pain off all three of them. Josie took her bio-mom's hand in hers and smiled. She looked into the woman's grey eyes. 

"Thank you for trying to save me," Josie said. 

"I'm sorry I failed," Josette said as began to choke up. Josie pulled the older woman into a hug. She hugged her tightly because she didn't know how much time they had together. 

"You didn't fail," Josie assured her brunette mother. "You did everything you could, it was up to the supernatural world to save me not you." Josie turned around and looked at her living parents. She signaled them to join in on the hug and they did. Josie felt safe in the embrace of her three parents but she knew it wouldn't last forever even if she wished for it. "I think you should go be Lizzie before we have to send all of you back." 

When her bio-mom left to go be with Lizzie. The group began to talk about what they all knew had to be addressed. Josie was really wishing that Hope's mother was timider because Hayley Marshall did not beat around the bush and asked her everything upfront. 

"When Hope marked you how long did the mark last?"Hayley asked. 

"It didn't," Josie stated confused. "When Hope bit me, it went away, the next morning I had nothing as if she never did it." Then Josie understood what was going on. She had done her research after Hope bit her but she thought she was overexaggerating. "You fucken marked me?"  Josie looked at the tribrid furiously. 

"This is not my fault." Hope defended. "If I recall correctly you are the one who told me to do it."

"Oh god please stop talking," Alaric begged.  

"No," Josie fought back ignore her pleading father. "I only said do it because your eyes were glowing gold, I didn't think you were going to fucken mark me as yours. Do you know what that means?" Josie waited for Hope to respond. Hope shook her head no. "A werewolf can only mark someone if they are soulmates, it means that once I first shift we will share a connection as soulmates. It means that no other supernatural being can date me because technically I am yours." 

"I'm okay with that," Hope mumbled under her breath.

"Excuse me?" Josie questions in disbelief at what she just heard. 

"That's my girl," Klaus states proudly. 

As much as Josie wanted to continue fighting Hope about the information that had just been confirmed to her Josie made her way quickly to the garden where Lizzie, Josette, and Jade were with the kids. Andrea had come to get Josie because Jade really needed her. 

"What happened?" Josie asked. 

"I blocked her from entering the school," Lizzie explained. "I figured you and Hope needed to talk with the adults without a vampire interrupting. But she went crazy." 

Josie knew the group had followed her out but right now they weren't her main concern. Josie knew that Jade had been great at controlling her ripper side all these years but the past few days had been emotional on everyone, which is why it came to no surprise to Josie that jade might be losing control of her ripper side, of her lust for blood to feel calmness. 

"Jade, have you drank any blood?" Josie asked as she got closer to the vampire that was sitting on the floor hugging herself and rocking back and forth mumbling, you're okay. You don't need blood, stay in control for the kids. 

"Y-Y-Yes," Jade mumbled. "It's not working, animal blood. I-I. Josie please." Josie forces Jade to look at her. Josie saw that blood that was had dried up on the side of Jade's mouth. jade had done everything they agree. She found a blood bag drank it and tried to calm herself but when that would fail that plan was to isolate herself and avoid hurting any humans. They never had to get this far, but it seemed like today Josie was going to do anything to get Jade back to normal. 

"Josie she can hurt you get away from her," Hope yelled. 

"Hope stay out of it." Josie shot back. Once everyone else voiced their concern Josie decided it would be best to just ignore them. Josie leaned closer to Jade and whispered into her ear, "Jade I need you to vamp us into my dad's office. Don't worry I'll take care of the spell." 

Jade looked at Josie, she wanted to make sure that she had heard right. When Josie gave her a nod Jade did what she was instructed. 

In her father's office. Josie placed a spell on the office so that no one could get in. Or in Josie's hope that it would keep everyone out long enough until she got Jade under control. Josie leaned on her father's desk and tilted her neck. 

"Jos no," Jade had not used that nickname with Josie since that girl was a child. 

"Jade I trust you." 

"I can hurt you." 

"You won't, now do it before Hope breaks through the protective barrier." Josie could sense the hesitation in Jade. Josie pulled Jade closer to her neck. A small moan escaped Josie when she felt Jade sink her fangs into her. Josie tilted her head more to give Jade better access.

Hope was going to kill the vampire. She was 100 percent certain that as soon as she broke the protective barrier keeping them from entering Dr. Saltzman's office she was going to literally rip Jade's heart out. When the door broke open Hope rushed in, but instead of anger, she felt her heart shatter at the sight before her. 

Josie was just leaning there on Alaric's desk as Jade took her blood. Hope eyes met Josie's as if Jade felt it she pulled away. 

Josie got up from the desk when Jade pulled away. She could tell Hope was upset. Hope's eyes were getting golder by the minute. Josie stood in front of Jade making sure to have a protective barrier between the vampire and the tribrid. 

"Josette move!" Hope growled. 

"Not a chance." Josie fought back. Hope was looked past her and straight at Jade. Josie stepped closer to Hope but she felt Jade place her arm around her waist protectively. "Jade it's okay. She won't hurt me."

Another growl escaped Hope. She wasn't really happy with all the touching going on between Josie and the ripper. Hope was getting ready to go and fight Jade. However, she never moved, instead Josie got closer. 

"Hope Andrea Mikaelson, look at me," Josie ordered. When Hope looked at her she placed her hand gently on Hope's face. "She wasn't going to hurt me. She just needed some blood to get back in control. I'm fine look at me. The wound is already healing." Hope still wasn't satisfied with what Josie was saying. "And my love she did not bite me where your mark is." Josie knew she had to appeal to Hope's alpha side to get the tribrid back to normal. 

"Fine, but I don't like her." Hope spat. 

"The feelings mutual tribrid," Jade said. 

"I don't care," Josie said getting both of the girls' attention. "I am going to go change and when I come back we are going to send our parents back to wherever they were. We are going to have a sleepover because I am not going to be dealing with both of you constantly bickering." 

Josie shit the tribrid and the vampire a death glare. They both nodded and Josie smiled, now she could go put on some actual clothes.
