Sweet Perfection ~ Hope Mikealson

Chapter 3

Olivia had been sitting on her new bed looking around at the spacious room she had received from Dr. Saltzman. It almost felt wrong to have a room this size all to herself. Her entire life Olivia had always stayed in crammed bedrooms. Not to mention she had always shared a room with Landon.

However Olivia was trying to be selfish as weird as that's sounds. She was done thinking about everyone else and what they wanted. It was now Olivia's turn to do things for herself. And right now she wanted to enjoy this beautiful room she had all to herself. Or at least that's what she tried to convince herself of.

Olivia's thoughts were disrupted when she heard knocking at her door. The teen stood up slowly and made her way over to the door. Making sure to fix her hair and flatten down her shirt before welcoming whomever was at her door. Once she had fully opened the door the witch was met with the blue eyes of one teen tribrid.

"Hey." Hope said quickly as she smiled gently at the brunette Kirby sibling.

"Um, hi Hope" Olivia uttered. Begging to feel nervous under the Mikealson's gaze, Olivia started to pick at her nails. A habit she had picked up when she was in foster care.

"I just wanted to come by and see how you were settling in." Hope said, observing the Kirby closely almost sensing that something was wrong with the girl.

"Oh-um yeah. I'm settling in just fine, I guess." Olivia lied. The truth was she was upset and angry. The teen had no idea how to cope with everything that had happened today.

"Could I maybe come in?" Hope asked, wanting to know what exactly was troubling Olivia's mind.

"Yeah sure if you really want to." Olivia said nervously.

Hope made her way into the bedroom and looked around. The room was bare, the only pictures were the ones that had already been placed as decoration. Hope only assumed the girl hadn't decorated only because she had just arrived.

"So are you going to tell me what's really wrong with you?" Hope probed while taking a seat on the edge of the bed. Olivia raised her eyebrows at the Mikealson wondering how the girl had seen right through her.

"I don't know what you're talking about, I'm fine." Olivia muttered lowly while pacing a little in front of Hope. The tribrid grabbed hold of the Kirby's hand trying to keep the girl still so they could actually talk. Just that quick and gentle touch sent sparks throughout both girls bodies. The sudden burst of energy took Hope by surprise slightly, as did Olivia.

"I know you're lying Olivia, I can see right through you." Hope said truthfully, trying to ignore the moment she just had with the other girl.

"Fine, you want the truth?" Olivia huffed while sitting down along side the Mikealson. The tribrid nodded her head signaling Olivia to continue.

"The truth is I'm a mess right now. For gods sake a little over 24 hours ago I found out I was somehow a witch. Then on top of that my brother runs away and steals a supernatural knife, gets into trouble with a freaking dragon, and then he lied to me."

Olivia sat their breathless after all she had just let out. Hope felt for the girl and could see just how upset she truly was.

"I know it doesn't make the the situation better, but like I said earlier everyone lies." The Mikealson said in an effort to comfort Olivia.
