AU: Daemons Pairing: Hope/Josie Length: 1,772

Josie couldn’t keep her eyes off of the girl with the twin braids on the MFHS football team. She was new, along with a few other students, but something about her immediately drew Josie’s attention in a way the others didn’t.
She drew Landon’s attention, too. His gaze lingered on her even when he should have been paying attention to the ball, not that Josie could blame him. She was beautiful—but then again, there were a lot of beautiful people on both teams. There was something else there.
It wasn’t until the girl crashed full-force into Landon that Josie instinctively felt her stomach lurch, because she didn’t have a flying daemon or a fast one who could follow her on foot, and she didn’t have a breakaway pocket on her uniform for slower daemons like Pernilla. Whatever her daemon was, they had to be small enough to hide inside her clothes, and if they got crushed beneath her—
But she was fine besides a twisted ankle. She hobbled off toward the nurse’s office looking perfectly unshaken considering she could have just died for playing a contact sport with, what, a spider daemon? Maybe she was used to it and they’d learned to play it safely, but again Josie got the overwhelming feeling that something wasn’t right.
She set off after her. There wouldn’t be any harm in talking to her, right? Making sure she found the nurse’s office? It was a bit of a stretch, but Josie couldn’t resist the chance to get a moment alone with her.
But when she got to the school, the girl wasn’t in the nurse’s office or anywhere between it and the front door.
“Maybe she went to look for a bathroom?” Reuven suggested. “Come on, we should get back to the game.”
“Hold on. I just want to look around real quick.”
A quick search of the first floor yielded nothing, and against Reuven’s protests, Josie headed upstairs.
“What are you doing?” he whispered. “What do you expect to say if you find her?”
“At this point?” Josie said. “‘Why are you wandering around my school?’ would work. ‘What are you looking for?’ ‘Can I help you?’”
Reuven peeked through Landon’s open door as Josie passed it. “Okay,” he said. “How about, ‘What are you doing in my friend’s room?’”
Josie stopped and backtracked. Sure enough, the girl was sitting cross-legged on Landon’s floor with a map unrolled in front of her. She looked up at Josie, wide-eyed, and said, “I can explain.”
Josie crossed her arms. “All right,” she said. “Explain.”
“I’m helping Dr. Saltzman with Rafael,” the girl said. “I know a lot about the Crescent Wolf Clan; I’m just tracking him down so that I can turn him back.”
“He asked you for help?”
The girl nodded. “Look, I know this is weird, but I’m kind of in a hurry. They’re probably missing you at the game. Why don’t you go back and I’ll make sure Raf is okay?”
Josie frowned. “Why wouldn’t he be okay? What aren’t you telling me?”
The girl scooped the map off the floor and stood up. “There’s a monster out there that hunts werewolves. But it’ll be fine; I can handle it.”
“There’s another monster and your dad told a stranger about it before you?” Reuven whispered into Josie’s ear. She gently swatted him away.
“I’m coming with you,” Josie said. “I know the area and I know how to fight.”
The girl hesitated, but gave in. “Okay,” she said. “Let’s go.” She paused. “I’m Hope, by the way.”
***
Josie was a bit distracted keeping the shunka at bay to realize that when Hope ran off as a wolf, there was still no sign of a daemon with her. Once they were both out of sight, though, she did notice the pair of round green eyes watching from behind a large bush.
“Ásfriðr?” She headed toward the bush, but the eyes disappeared and the leaves trembled as the cat daemon pressed closer to the center of the bush. “I thought you left.”
“Go away. Now.”
Josie frowned. His voice sounded different, rougher and much more animalistic than before. “I’m not going to freeze you again,” she said. “I won’t do anything to you. But what are you doing back here?”
She knelt down to peer through the branches of the bush. She could barely see a patch of Ásfriðr’s cinnamon fur through the leaves, but she didn’t want to risk touching him if she dug through the bush.
When he spoke, Ásfriðr’s words came out as more of a growl. “I told you to leave,” he said. “I humored you before, but I can’t do that again. Get away from me.”
Josie backed up, but Reuven crept under the lowest branches before she could tell him not to. She felt the pain in her hand before she realized what had happened. Reuven darted to her chest and she held him there instinctively, just catching a glimpse of the tip of Ásfriðr’s tail as he disappeared through the undergrowth. He’d scratched at Reuven and made a break for it.
“It’s not bad,” he said as he flexed his wing to show the small scratch, but Josie could feel that the pain had already faded. “He just surprised me.”
“You should have backed off,” Josie said. “He obviously didn’t want us to see him.”
“I know. And I know why.” Reuven looked toward where Ásfriðr had gone. “He was wolfed out, Jo. He’s her daemon.”
Josie blinked. “What? He said she was—”
“Well, she’s back, obviously.”
“You’re sure he was wolfed out?”
“You only heard his voice,” Reuven said. “I saw him. He’s huge. His claws and his teeth…I mean, if he actually wanted to hurt us, he could have. Easily.”
“He couldn’t resist seeing her,” Josie murmured. “If she’s back, why aren’t they together? And who is she?”
“I don’t know. But she’ll be back again once she kills that thing or finds Raf. What are you going to say?”
***
Hope had left campus by the time Josie found out she’d gotten Raf home safe and sound. Part of her was disappointed, but another part was relieved. What do you say to someone whose existence you’ve forgotten? She had no memories of what they might have been through together, no idea how much Hope actually knew about her, how close they had been. Acquaintances? Best friends? It was impossible to tell.
“Stop thinking about it,” Reuven said gently. “If you see her again, you can decide what to say then. You have studying to do now.”
“I know,” Josie said. “It’s just—”
She cut off as a scratching noise sounded at her door. She furrowed her brow and exchanged a glance with Reuven before getting up; it didn’t sound like the rats she’d been hearing lately.
When she opened the door, she found Ásfriðr waiting in the hallway.
“I’m sorry about earlier,” he said. “Can we talk?”
Josie glanced down the hallway, but nobody else was in sight. “Did someone tell you where I was, or did you just know where my room is?”
Ásfriðr stayed silent, but Josie stepped aside to let him in. She knew the answer, anyway. She sat on her bed indicated a spot at the end where he could sit. He settled down on the corner, but he didn’t look very relaxed. Josie couldn’t blame him.
“I shouldn’t be here,” he said. “But I’m pissed off and I’m so tired of hiding. I’m sure you’ve put together part of my situation by now.”
“You’re Hope’s daemon,” Josie said. “She went into Malivore and you didn’t.”
Ásfriðr nodded. “I told her not to,” he said. “I begged her, actually, but she was dead set on it. I was trying to respect her wishes by keeping this secret from all of you, but you deserve to know.”
Josie frowned. “You didn’t go in with her because you didn’t agree with it?”
“It was an accident.” Ásfriðr grimaced. “There’s someone else you’ve forgotten, someone bad. A golem. I was busy fighting his daemon, but she was made of mud as much as he was, and I was struggling with it. I just thought that if I could destroy her enough to get him out of the way, we’d have one less problem to deal with. They fell into the pit without us.”
Josie shivered, and Reuven crept closer to Ásfriðr. He nestled his small form into the fur of Ásfriðr’s chest, and for a moment the cat daemon tensed, but then the tension fell away.
“I’m so sorry,” Reuven whispered.
“What’s done is done,” Ásfriðr said, but his voice sounded gentler now as he gazed down at Reuven.
“So, there’s just a mud daemon wandering around out there, too?” Josie said.
“Yes. But I doubt I'd recognize her if I saw her. And anyway, I don’t know whether she’s really his soul or if she’s just there to make him look more human.”
Josie hummed. She was almost afraid to ask, but she had to know. “Why aren’t you with Hope right now, now that she’s back?”
“You have no idea what it felt like,” Ásfriðr snapped. “How badly it hurt. It all could have been avoided if she would have just listened to me. All of that pain and her plan didn’t even work.”
Josie flinched and tried to think of how she would feel it had been her and Reuven. It was impossible to imagine, but she did know one thing. “I’m sure she misses you.”
Ásfriðr’s hackles raised for a moment, then dropped back down. If a cat could cry, Josie was sure he would have tears in his eyes. “I miss her, too, but I don’t even know how to be with her anymore. Not like I was.” He sighed. “I should be going.”
“You can stay here if you want,” Reuven said quickly. “I mean, it’s got to be better than the woods.”
“I don’t know,” Ásfriðr said. “I’m not sure I’m ready for the whole school to know about me. Lizzie will tell somebody, and then it’ll spread…Even if it doesn’t, I can’t live in your room. It would just be too weird.”
It was strange hearing him mention her sister, but it only pounded in what Josie already knew: this daemon knew them. Hope knew them.
“Why don’t you just rest here for a while?” Josie said. “Lizzie’s off looking for some boy or something. She won’t be back until later. And I’ve got homework I can do in the library.”
Ásfriðr thought for a long moment, then sighed. “Okay,” he said. “Thank you.”

Kiki: Well I guess the best place to start is with the handsome Alexander Faust~ Ooh la la~ I wish I could dance like Angelina Croix just to be in his strong arms. Mmm~ Apparently the two are still denying that they're obviously having and a affair but more interesting is according to the press releases about the PLDC Alexander is not doing ballet!!! But, rather a contemporary member! I know~! I was shocked as well! My only guess is that ballet couldn't contain the sexual tension~

Of course not~! It's our own local drug addict, Angeline Andurgor~ I can't imagine what sort've train wreck she's pulling him into...Shame.
Kiki: At least Key's seems to be already finding life lines with a special guest in the CH household. Apparently the cute brunette in all her recent photos has finally been named as none other then Gabriel Alan, Serenity's brother! I didn't even know she had a brother and apparently nobody else did either... A few of my super sleuth's dug up and old video on a music forum of Gabriel and a much younger Serenity singing together and it is the most adorable thing in this entire world~! The song is called 'Hey brother' and there's a link to it on my blog that many of you lovely people have already seen~!
Kiki: I'm going to let some viewers chime in on that vid~!
-ring-
Jenny: Hi~ I'm Jenny~ I'm from brightside! I looooooooove your show and I looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooved that video~ Gabriel is so cute. I just, I just want to marry him! Do you think that he'll join the band~? He has such a wonderful voice~!

-click-
Kiki: Okay, Okay. I'm being told it's time for the commercial break. When we get back I have more delicious CH news including a first look at the new 'reality show' there's been rumors about~!
-Commercial break-
Kiki: Welcome back~ So. I promised you the details and I got 'em~ Pride signed a contract with KT Studios, Yes. That KT studios who produce Infernal lovers. The brother/sister team of Kate and Tate said they've always wanted to try a reality show but it fell through in the past but believe that this time it'll work out. I've heard some pathetic working titles but I'm sure they'll come up with a better one by the time the show comes out. They'll be filming from inside the warehouse throughout the album release and the tour at the end of the year. What do you guys think about this? Are you as excited as me?
-ring -
?: Oooh. I can't wait for this~ I needed some new Pride gifs for my blog~!
Kiki: Haha~ You and me both!
Kiki: Oh so - We've got some breaking news it seems according to my coworker. She just handed me a paper, one second... Oh my~ So during the commercial break it seems like Damien from Distressed monday's has finally released a statement on twitter regarding his rehab~! Ooh~ Oh. Eck... Apparently.. According to the tweet he claims that Angeline had nothing to do with getting him into drugs and that - I should shut up about her.. Mfh.
Coworker: -giggling-
Kiki: He claims that apparently she's helping him with his rehab... Hmph. I'd bet she sucked him off again for him to change his tune.
-sound of crumpling paper-
-ring ring-
Kiki: What? I didn't ask for another phone call - Hello?
Damien: I literally just broke the phone rules just to call and tell you to get a life... That's all.
