Each Other - ???? ?????????

NINE

After Daliah took her in she didn't have the freedom of exploring her sexuality, she had very little time to do so, only single year out of the century and it didn't help that she shut herself out from people for so long.

Freya put her hands on her thighs as she knew that this advice had to come from the heart or it was worthless.

"I guess I just found the right girl, who made me feel a way no one else could make me feel. When I was with her I felt like I was on top of the world and when I was without her I felt empty and incomplete. If I'm being honest the thought was always at the back of my mind but a part of myself had denied it for so long because of the way I was raised." Freya admitted referring to her viking heritage.

Odette nodded taking in the information before letting out a shaky breath in attempt to calm her racing heart when she came to the realization, why was she so nervous? Because Hope made her feel the way Freya described, Hope Mikaelson made her feel the way no one else had.

Freya noticing Odette change in behavior grabbed her nieces hand and made the younger girl look her in the eyes.

"Hey, you're only fourteen, you have a lifetime to figure this out, I promise you it's not the end of the world." Freya said reassuringly but that didn't calm Odette, those weren't the words that she needed to hear. The hybrid had already figured it out, she was in love with her best friend.

Odette smiled falsely and nodded her head to Freya, not revealing the way she felt. "Yeah," She breathed out and Freya smiled in relief, glad that she could provide the girl with some sort of clarity.

Freya sighed getting the Paris girls attention. "There's something I need to tell Hope and you, it's about Hayley."

"It'll be painful," Freya explained the ritual they had to complete. They were in the girls dorm, Hope and Freya in the bed while Odette sat at the desk facing the both of them as they argued.

"I don't care." Hope said firmly getting fed up with being stalled.

"You could die." The blonde stated trying to get Hope to understand the weight of the situation.

"Same answer." Hope said raising her voice.

"We're talking about snuffing out a fundamental part of yourself." Freya said knowing the emotional pain that the binding held having spoke with Niklaus about it.

"Which according to you my mom didn't even want me to trigger anyway." Hope said and Odette become irritated at the argument, Hayley's life or binding her werewolf side, the decision was simple.

"She wanted it to be you're choice." Freya explained, this wasn't how Hayley would have wanted her to chose.

"And I'm making it!" Hope said not carrying about the cons Freya was throwing at her.

"Not like this, Hope. I know what it's like to having something be taken from you against your will, for me it was time years of sleep cursed by aunt Dahlia while the world continued to spin around me, and once you realized what you missed, it's devastating." Freya said opening up to her niece, tears coming to her eyes as she thought about how horrible the isolation felt.

Hope stood from the bed wiping a tear that had escaped her eye. "If this were to just save my mom I'd want to do it, or it could be the fact that I don't even know if I want this freakish part of myself or it's because I'm partially responsible for her being taken, but aunt Freya it's all those things. So please just get whatever you need for the spell because we're doing this." Hope said and Freya could no longer argue.
