"This is your room" Alaric introduced, it had one Queen sized bed, its own bathroom and an empty shelf with a small Tv and a balcony. "Looks fresh, thank you" Hope shut the door, closing him out.

"I can't believe you're letting her stay here !" Lizzie argued. Josie shut the office door, calm as ever. "We need her" Alaric grumbled, taking a seat at his desk.

"We've handled much worse without her, we dont need her"

"Lizzie calm down, its better to keep her within the school than to continue having her roaming around the world killing innocent people"

"I dont care about those people, I care about my family. Shes venom to this school, she'll ruin us !"

"Enough !" Alaric shouted. "I dont like this anymore than you do but if we want Landon safe and this school safe we'll have her here."

Lizzie scoffed, crossing her arms over her chest. "Shes our guest and you'll treat her with respect, you hear me?"

Lizzie rolled her eyes, leaving the office. Alaric sighed, looking to his other daughter. "I'll make sure she doesn't do anything reckless, dad." Jo gave him a kind smile, leaving behind her sister.

"Whats the plan?" Hope asked, standing infront of the brunette. "We should figure it out fast, before he attacks."

"You're really worried, huh?" Jo smirked. "Worried? No. That means emotion I'm just cautious"

"More like worried" Landon added, appearing behind the two. "Hey babe" Jo smiled at the boy, giving him a kiss on his cheek. "Keep talking and I'll rip both your hearts out."

"Annoyance...thats an emotion" Jo chuckled, testing her boundaries. Hope groaned, walking away from the two. They would obviously be of no help. She was sure if she found the blonde she'd be of more use, her anger was like strength.

"Lizzie." She appeared before the girl, as if she had teleported. "You" She wanted to punch the girl in her face, to burn her. Anything possible just to get rid of her existence.

"Have you found anything on our guy?" Hope asked, following the blonde as she walked away.

"You're very persistent for a girl who turned off her humanity."

"Persistency has nothing to do with my humanity"

Lizzie rolled her eyes. "You're scared of him, aren't you?"

"No" Hope spat. "I just want him gone, I want him dead."

The blonde led the towards the library, grabbing a book from the shelves. "He's basically unkillable, a lot like yo—"

"I dont need to hear this. Everything can be killed. If you've lead me here to tell me something that I already know then I should go find someone worth my time."

Lizzie chuckled. "Oh please"

"What?"

"You're a piece of shit Hope Mikaelson. And I'm not doing this for you, I'm doing this for Josie. I have no reason to tolerate you, you're nothing but a waste of air. The only reason my father is keeping you here is to kill him. After that you're back on the streets. You're not the boss here, you have no power. You're weak and fragile like the rest of us, thats why your humanities off. And if you can find someone better, for the love of god go ahead because I can't stand you much longer"

"I didnt turn my humanity off because I'm weak. I turned it off because emotions lead to nothing but pain. Emotions are what hold you back and if you were to be in my shoes you'd do the exact same." Hope rolled her eyes, turning to leave the scene.
