Things hadn’t been the same since Ben’s father revealed that he was planning on eradicating everyone who was supernatural from the world and Josie knew that none of them could expect it to be. This time they had not just their own fate hanging over their heads but the fate of every supernatural in the world and it was a lot to carry. Thankfully they weren’t doing it alone, her parents were helping and so was Hope’s uncle, not to mention there were others who knew the truth and were doing what they could in order to help them find a way to stop the angel as well. Help was coming from a lot of different places this time around and Josie really was glad about that. Mystic Falls had attracted so many people who were supernatural to it and all of them were a target for Raziel. She and Hope had lost their lives the first time they had fought against him and Ethan had fallen prey to Raziel’s followers since then as well. MG had filled her in eventually and from what he had told her it sounded like Ethan had been deliberately targeted because of his friendship with MG. She knew that MG felt guilty about what had happened even though he hadn’t had any control over it but it had really made it hit home that anyone they were connected to was in danger. It was scary to say the least but Josie knew that they all had to stay positive and believe that they would find a way to stop the angel before he hurt anyone else. Josie knew that she had plenty of people around that she could talk to whenever she needed to but lately she had been feeling like something was wrong, like there were people who should be there but weren’t. It was crazy because she didn’t even know who those people were but it definitely felt like something was missing and that was a feeling that she couldn’t seem to shake. She wasn’t sure whether anyone else felt it too and she had thought about asking but she knew that she didn’t want anyone to think that she was losing her mind so instead she had stayed quiet about it and she knew that she would probably keep on doing that. Lately so much of her time had been spent trying to find a way to stop Raziel, they had the angel blade and they had the chambre de chasse that Ben had been able to find but they didn’t know if that would be enough to stop him so they were looking for other ways as well in case either of those things failed. Between that and classes starting up again things were so busy all the time but Josie knew to make time to spend with the people she loved when she could and it felt like it had been a while since she and Hope had last gone on a proper date. They had been together for a while now and Josie felt like she really had found her person so she knew that she wanted to do something special for Hope. Her girlfriend had been taking all of this harder than anyone else, Josie and the others all looked up to her and she knew that took a toll on Hope but that was why she wanted to make sure that she had some time to unwind. It was with that in mind that she had arranged a picnic and movie day for them so they could just be together and forget about everything else for a while and once everything was set up, Josie set off in search of her girlfriend. She wasn’t really surprised when she found Hope in the library and her expression softened as she headed in her girlfriend’s direction. “I thought I’d find you here,” she admitted, coming to a stop as she reached Hope and taking her girlfriend’s hand in hers before greeting her with a kiss. “It’s time you took a break. Come in, you’re coming with me,” she said, taking the book that Hope was holding and setting it down on the table next to them before giving her hand a gentle tug. HOPE MIKAELSON

━ your sweetness is more cruel than your hurt ━
Hope picked up on the sound of approaching footsteps but she still didn't lift her head from the book she was currently flipping through, reading the lines slowly while taking some notes. She had notes surrounding her book, all sticky little yellow notes with some information written on it that she could refer back to for convenience's sake. She was still trying to find another way to deal with Raziel, just in case the man anticipated their attacks. She couldn't let him win. It was simply not one of the cards on the table. Raziel winning would mean losing everyone she ever cared about except for those who were harder to kill and unfortunately for Hope, almost all of her friends and loved ones were easy to kill. So, of course Hope took it seriously and spent most of her time researching and the other part split between spending time with her loved ones or training because she didn't want to worry anyone or make them think she was going off the rails or something just because she was being so focused on putting an end to Raziel.
She knew that she had to find a way to stop Raziel soon because he had actually managed to hurt Ethan, MG's closest friend. MG had no other choice but to turn his best friend into a vampire just to save his life and not have it end so soon when it had barely even begun. It was cruel and twisted, just like everything about Raziel.
Hope snapped out of her thoughts so she could focus on what she was doing again only to stop when she heard the familiar voice of her girlfriend. Hope lifted her head to look at her, her lips stretching into an immediate smile at the sight of Josie. "Hey, Jo." Hope greeted softly before her expression turned a little sheepish at being found at the library. It had become like her... third home. "You found me." Hope's soft voice soon made itself known as she placed her pen down for now, her eyes fixed on her girlfriend. She held Josie's hand in her own and returned the kiss. "But I was reading that━" Hope's complaint died on her lips because Josie was already reaching for the book to put it aside. Yup, Josie had already win that argument before it even started.
Hope eventually relented and got up so she could follow Josie wherever she was taking her. "Can I at least know where you're taking me?" Hope asked as she walked with Josie, their hands still clasped together.

Josie knew how easy it was to focus on something so much that you forgot about everything else. She had done that after Jed died, she had stayed up all night trying to find a way to break Ben’s curse and stop anything like that from happening again. Her grief had made her do crazy things and she wasn’t afraid to admit that. So much had happened since then, she and Hope had lost their lives at Raziel’s hands and Ethan had died at the hands of one of the angel’s followers. They still had Ben’s curse to break along with the one that Adelina and Gabriela had been born with but right now trying to find a way to stop Raziel was the most important thing. They were all feeling the pressure but no one was feeling it more than Hope and Josie would be lying if she said that she wasn’t worried about her girlfriend. Hope was a natural leader and they all looked up to her so much that it was natural to think that she could solve pretty much anything. Josie knew that was the persona that Hope liked to put out there, she didn’t like anyone seeing her as weak but Josie knew Hope better than most and she knew when to make sure that Hope took some time out to look out for herself, just like Hope knew when to make sure that Josie did the same. They got each other so well and Josie knew that came from the fact that they were best friends before they got together but it was something that served them well and she knew that she wouldn’t have it any other way. As it was Josie knew that Hope had been burying herself in research trying to find another way to stop Ben’s father and she knew that she wasn’t much better since she had been doing the same lately but Josie knew that it was time to make sure that Hope took a break. It didn’t take her long to find her girlfriend and to be honest Josie wasn’t surprised to find her in the library. “I’ll always find you,” Josie said, a smile touching her lips as she looked over at Hope. She always seemed to know where Hope was when she wanted to find her and Hope had done the same more times than Josie could remember as well. Josie’s smile widened as Hope kissed her back and she shook her head as Hope protested. She didn’t even need to say anything else for the protest to stop short and Josie had to hold back a laugh. “Not anymore you’re not, it can wait,” she assured her. Stopping Raziel was beyond important but Josie knew that making sure that Hope took care of herself was just as important. Helping Hope to her feet, Josie pretended to think about it for a moment as Hope asked if she could know where she was taking her. “Nope, it’s a surprise,” she said, her smile turning to a grin as she stole another kiss before leading the way through the school. “You’ve been going so hard at it, you deserve a break,” she added. It wasn’t long before they headed outside and Josie led the way into the woods to the area that she had set up for them. “It’s probably a little cheesy but I figured we were overdue a date,” she said as they reached the clearing. She had set up a blanket and a picnic for them and there was a sheet hanging between a couple of trees along with a projector so they could watch their favourite movie. HOPE MIKAELSON

━ your sweetness is more cruel than your hurt ━
Hope knew that she has been working a little too hard lately, but she knew that the fate of the supernatural world weighed heavily upon their actions. She knew that there was no way they can screw up or else they'd be allowing a mad angel to actually eradicate all supernatural beings, those with lives on the line, with too much to lose. Those who never wanted to hurt anyone and had no choice but to accept their fate as a supernatural being. Hope found it to be unfair because most of the supernatural creatures had no choice in what they were turned into, but they were still about to be punished for it regardless.
But, with how Josie was pulling her away from her research, she knew that she wasn't going to get anything done for quite some time, so she might as well let it go for now. "A surprise?" Hope repeated with a brief chuckle stumbling from her lips before she eventually nodded her head and let the matter go because she definitely wanted to see what the surprise that Josie had planned for them was.
"I just hope that it makes a difference." Hope replied when Josie told her that she's been going so hard at it. All she ever wanted was to actually make a difference and save the people that she cared about and the people she didn't even know but they still deserved a second chance - a chance to live normally.
Hope released a soft gasp when she saw the surprise that Josie had planned for them. "Oh." Hope breathed out as she looked around, still overcome with fond surprise. "This is so nice." Hope commented with a gentle smile resting on his lips. "Yeah, we really are." Hope felt a little guilty for not taking this step a lot sooner, but at the same time, she knew that Josie understood what was delaying their date for some time. There was always something standing in the way. Always.
Hope soon sat down on the blanket. "It's cute. I like this." Hope said, running her fingers along the blanket below. "Thanks, Jo. I really needed this." They both did.

Josie knew there was a chance that Hope might try to resist what she had planned and say there wasn’t time for it given what they were up against but Josie also knew her girlfriend well enough to know that Hope put everyone ahead of herself and didn’t always take breaks when she needed to. They were both guilty of that and Hope had encouraged her to take a break when she’d stayed up all night trying to find a way to break Ben’s curse after Jed died and now Josie knew that it was her turn to return the favour. Even before they got together they were best friends and they still were now so Josie knew that she was always going to be there to make sure that Hope took care of herself the same way she always tried to take care of everyone else. Hope was a Mikaelson and Josie knew that she often felt like she had the weight of the world on her shoulders given that she was the only Tribrid in the world but she wasn’t facing this alone and Josie always tried to remind Hope of that when she could. Pulling Hope away from her research wasn’t something that Josie took lightly, she knew that what Hope was doing was important but she also wanted to make sure that her girlfriend remembered to actually live her life from time to time. It was far too easy to become fixated on something and forget to live, Josie had done that more times than she cared to admit and she knew that she didn’t want Hope doing the same. “That’s right, I think you’re going to like it,” she nodded as Hope gave in and they headed outside. “It will, you have to believe that,” she said gently as Hope said she hoped it makes a difference. “I do. We have one thing that Raziel doesn’t, we have people worth fighting for and we’re not going to give up.” Raziel was incapable of caring about anyone else but it wasn’t like that for them. They had so many people they wanted to keep safe and as far as Josie was concerned that made them even stronger. Leading Hope to the area she had set up for them, Josie felt a mile touch her lips at Hope’s reaction. “You like it?” she asked as she gave Hope’s hand a gentle squeeze. It wasn’t anything that unusual but it would give them the chance to spend some time together and hopefully reset as well. “I know the research we’ve all been doing is important but we also need to live a little and spend time with the people we love,” she said, her eyes meeting Hope’s as she spoke. Hope meant the world to her and Josie knew that they weren’t going to stop fighting until they had found a way to beat Raziel but she wanted to make sure that they had some memories like this to hold onto until they had done that. Sitting down next to Hope, Josie set the picnic basket between them before offering her girlfriend a gentle smile. “I know. I get why you’ve been going so hard at it but I don’t want you to burn yourself out,” she said softly. “That’s why I’ve brought our favourite food and drink, popcorn and our favourite movie is ready to go,” she added, leaning over and kissing Hope’s cheek gently. “Call it a little time to recharge before we both hit the books again. Are you ready?”HOPE MIKAELSON
