CHAPTER TWELVE: ❝Talent Show❞︎
A FEW DAYS PASSED, JOSIEAND HER SISTER HAD LEFT TO GO AND SEE THEIR MOM, AND NOW THEY WERE BACK EARLIER THAN THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE. Harper had the chance to make up with the female right before she had left and now that she was back, she couldn't help but be excited to rekindle their friendship. She sat in her room, oblivious to the fact that Lizzie was currently creating a completely different world in which Hope didn't exist. And if it hadn't been for Hope, then Harper probably would've never come. So along with Hope being the rebel in Lizzie's world, Harper had as well.
It all seemed like a fever dream, like the girl had actually experienced it, like she had actually been there. And she was convinced that she actually had been. And she laid on her bed, her eyes closed as she experienced the world Lizzie had created until the blonde finally managed to turn everything back to normal and moments later she came bursting into Harper's room.
"Lizzie?" Harper gently questioned, standing up as she looked at the blonde with a small frown. She let out a gasp when Lizzie threw her arms around the girl. Lizzie held onto her tightly.
"Never change, Harper." Lizzie told the girl before pulling away and offering her a small smile before leaving the room. Harper stood there with her eyebrows furrowed and her mouth opened slightly.
"What was that about?" Hope questioned, walking into the door way. Harper opened and closed her mouth before shrugging her shoulders.
"I'm uh, not really sure?" Harper frowned. She turned towards Hope. "Did you need help with something?"
"Yeah, I was going to put a barrier around the urn. Did you want to help?"
"Yeah." Harper nodded with a small smile before walking out of her room with Hope, wondering what it was that Lizzie had been going on about. After putting up the barrier and Harper and Hope setting up a trap, they went to bed. Apparently the trap had went off in the middle of the night with Alaric, Hope and Dorian going to check it out only to find a harmless unicorn.
Harper walked through the shelves, her fingers running along the spines of the many books inside of the library. She already held one tightly to her chest as her eyes quickly scanned over the titles of the books. Just as she reached for one, she paused at the sound of Dr. Saltzman's voice coming over the intercom.
"If I could have your attention. Last night we were able to capture a monster here on the grounds. We have everything under control. But given this potential danger, it is with a heavy heart that I must postpone the talent show. Hopefully, we'll be able to reschedule this. . . unique event. . . at a later date. A much, much later date."
Harper smiled before pulling the book from the shelf and walking out of the library and down the hall where she ran into Hope, Landon, and Rafael. She offered the group a small smile. "Hey guys."
