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

NINE

"Odette?" Freya called causing the Paris girl to turn her focus on the older woman rather then Hope.

"Yeah." The hybrid breaths out, unlike Hope, Odette has always wanted to trigger her curse but none of that mattered now and she wasn't about to voice her reluctance.

Hope's gaze flickered to both of the girls confusedly. "Wha-what's going on?" Hope questioned and Freya, noticing Odette's gaze shift from Hope decided to be the one to tell her.

"Odette also has to bind herself." Freya said slowly.

Instead of freaking out like both of the witches previously thought Hope calmed herself and nodded her head in acceptance.

Freya stood from the bed, thinking it best to give the girls so privacy. "We'll do the spell tomorrow." The blonde announced before walking out of the room.

It was silent between to two teens for a long time, Hope was the first to break. "You already accepted the deal? Without telling me?" The tribrid questioned and Odette could hear the vulnerability in her voice.

"I didn't want my involvement to impact your choice." Odette stated her gaze looking anywhere other then the Mikaelson girl.

"T, you've always wanted to trigger your curse." Hope said her voice raised as she started to get upset with herself.

"Things are different now, Hayley's life lays in the balance and If I could I'd sacrifice my own powers if it meant she could come home." Odette stated truthfully and Hope scoffed.

            "I just didn't want you to feel bad you've already got enough on your shoulders as it is." Odette said standing and making her way to her friend.

           Hope smiled slightly as Odette sat next to her, the auburn haired girl instinctively reached for her friends hand.

           "You're in this with me, which means all decisions need to be unanimous." Hope started which made Odette open her mouth to protest.

          "And with-holding information makes the decision invalid." Hope said before Odette could point out that her previous statement wasn't violated.

Odette slumped her shoulders in defeat looking at her friend with a hard gaze that quickly softened when she took in Hope's beauty.

"About earlier, why I ran away like that. I kissed Roman." Odette confessed missing Hope's hurt look.

"And I just needed talk to Freya to sort out my feelings or lack there of." The brunette explained and Hope was confused at her words.

"You don't like Roman?" Hope questioned silently rejoicing.

"Apparently," The hybrid confirmed and Hope allowed a small smile to spread across her face.

"I just thought something was wrong with me." Odette expressed still feeling slightly insecure about the situation.

         Hope squeezed the hybrids hand and Odette squeezed back to small reaction making the Mikaelson blush.

         "There's nothing wrong with you," Hope said with so much love and admiration that it almost made the Paris girl tear up.
