Her Hero {Legacies}

Magic 101 - Part 3

"You know you could always come with us?" Hope tried to offer Mike, "Your power means we never have to worry?" 

Mike laughed, "I'm afraid not my wolf, me and churches... we don't get along" 

Out of the corner of his eye, Mike saw Alaric glaring at him, "Well, Churches, me and Alaric"

Hope laughed and gave him a hug, "Don't wait up" 

"I don't sleep?" He answered, but she'd already turned around and got into the truck with Alaric, 

"You know she'll be okay" Gabby told him, "You don't have to worry about her 24/7. Even if something was wrong you'd sense it" 

"I don't like her being in a church" He answered his baby sister, "Hallowed ground isn't safe, not with how heaven is at the minute" 

"It's not safe for us, she'll be fine" She soothed,

With a shake of the head he ran a hand through his hair, "Hopefully there's not enough of a link for her to be in danger. I hate hallowed ground" 

-- Line Break --

By the time Hope and Alaric had reached the church, the sun had set.

"You and Mike seem to be getting close" Alaric broke the awkward silence, "It's not normally like you" 

"We're not having this conversation" Hope scoffed, "Come on" 

They exited the van and entered the church to find a boy chained to the floor, and a priest attempting to perform an exorcism. The boy was clearly a werewolf as his bones were breaking, snapping and changing. 

"Hope deal with the priest" Alaric sighed, 

With a snap of her fingers the Priest's mouth disappeared. Alaric looked at her in surprise, with no spell having being uttered, 

"Mike's been teaching me non-verbal magic" She shrugged, but her smile at the mention of her mentor fell when she saw who else was stood in the room, "Landon..."

(A/N Christ here we go) 

"Hope?" He replied, his greasy hair sitting on his shoulder, 

"What are you doing here?" The tribrid asked him, 

But before he could reply a fireball flew past his head and into the wall. Both Alaric and Hope's heads snapped towards the direction it came from to see a man in a full white suit glaring at them, "Baladus in kurk, fel nu" 

"What the hell?!" Alaric yelled, 

Hope ran up to it, throwing a hand outwards and hitting the stranger with a wind spell. But the spell backfired and threw her backwards... just like with, "Get Mike!" Alaric yelled when he saw what had happened, 

Using the telepathic link, the tribrid called for their saviour. 

But nothing came.

"Hope..." Alaric warned, 

"It's not working" She complained, "He did say he didn't like churches" 

Back at the school, Mike was having a heated argument with his sister, "She needs my help!" Mike yelled, "I have to go" 

"It's hallowed ground Michael you know what will happen if you cross it!" She argued back, 

Mike turned to her with steely determination, "I don't care"

He disappeared in a flash of blue lightning, reappearing in the church where Hope was, 

"About time!" The Tribrid yelled, 

The Archangel gave her a look, before going to work. He turned to the stranger, but stopped immediately, "Castiel..." he whispered to himself, not loud enough for Ric to hear, but Hope sure did, 

"Burta" he realised, 

Before he could say another word, Mike lifted his hand and Castiel froze. With his other hand he snapped his fingers and Castiel evaporated into blue particles. Once the threat was dealt with, Mike knelt down in pain, "I hate Churches" he grumbled, 

"Mike!" Hope yelled running over to him, "What's wrong" 

"I shouldn't be in a church" he answered, "I need.... I need you to get me out" 

Hope helped him to his feet and out of the door, barely paying Landon a minutes notice. As soon as he was off of the Hallowed ground, the pain stopped, "Thank you my wolf" he sighed, 

"What's going on Mike, who was that? Why can't you be in a church!" She exclaimed, "I need you to tell me" 

He placed a hand on her cheek, "My wolf have I ever done anything to harm you?" He asked,

She shook her head, 

"Then trust me when I say this is to protect you" He soothed, 

She nodded, letting him pull her in for a hug, 

"Who was the greaseball?" Mike asked her, 

She stepped back sheepishly, "I used to know him, we danced once" 

"You danced once?" Mike laughed, "Well by that logic I'm old friends with Marolyn Monroe" 

"You're old" She chuckled, 

"Yep"

"Hope" Alaric sighed as he exited the church, Landon and the werewolf following after, "How do you know him?" 

Hope rolled her eyes, "He used to work at the Mystic grill" 

"And we danced once" Landon offered, "Before she left and is now apparently a freak" 

A low rumble of thunder echoed in the sky, but there wasn't a cloud in the sky. Hope immediately turned to Mike, whose eyes were glowing slightly blue, "It's okay" she whispered to him, making his eyes return to their natural colour and the thunder stop. 

"Maybe don't insult Hope in front of him okay" Alaric warned, genuinely scared for Landon's safety, 

"We need to get him to school" Alaric sighed pointing towards the werewolf who had changed back to human,

"Have fun with that" Mike grinned at her sarcastically, "We'll meet you there" 

And with that he grabbed Hope's hand, and a large bolt of lightning struck the ground where they were stood. When it had cleared, 

They were gone.
