"What the hell was that, Olivia? You just fainted." I took deep breaths and looked to Hayley. "I know that. It's... it's nothing. I just... I've met my mother. I know that this isn't possible because she is... but I saw her. And she told me something. Something all of you already know." I said and with every word I became angrier.

"Olivia, look. We tried to--" "Stop! Stop with your lies! All of you. I'm sick of it!" I yelled at them. I stept away and walked back into garden. Trying to relax, but cleary it didn't work. I don't want to be here. Not like that. "Olivia." the young and sweet voice asked. I turned around and looked down to Hope. "Yeah?" "Are you going to leave?" she whispered and I looked to the other Mikaelson. I was, actually. But now I just shook my head. "No. I'm not. Do you maybe want to play a game with me, Hope?" I asked nicely and stept forward. Hayley nodded when Hope looked up to her.

"Sure. Go in." The hybrid said. Hope and I went inside and went upstairs to her room. There we played a board game.

"I think, we should talk." I said quietly and Klaus looked at me, knowing what I meant. "I want an explanation. Now. Why the sudden interest in me? Why now?" He sighed and walked outside. I followed him. "Because now we are sure it's true. Didn't you wonder if someone was there when you're actually alone? Hayley watched you. She made sure it wasn't just some legend. Of course we assumed it a while ago." I took a deep breath and watched him coming closer.

"What do I have to do with you? Why do you care if it's true or not? It's nothing of your concern..." I said quiet. Klaus sighed and looked right into my eyes. "Because you are important to us, Olivia. You may not believe or trust us, but you will. Can I ask you something?" I raised an eyebrow and nodded slowly. "Yeah." I whispered. "Would you watch Hope til we are done with a few things? It's kind of important." He asked and I turned my head around when I heard footsteps approaching.

"Would you? If not doing it for us then for Hope." Hayley asked and I nodded again and sighed. "Yes I'll do it... Playing board games with a little girl is kind of fun." I said and Hope came also outside and smiled shly at me. "Thank you, Olivia. I owe you one." I smiled and looked to Klaus. "I'll remind you." Hope and I went inside and upstairs to her room.

She looked at me with a smile and sat down on her bed. "Would you like to paint something with me?" She suddenly asks and I smiled. "I didn't paint since I was thirteen. Yeah, i'd love that." I said and sat also down on her bed. So we ended up painting and talking. I have to admit it was quite fun. Hope is a good, innocent and sweet little girl. I think, she could either destroy or save the world.

"Is it true? What my family says about you? That you're an actual queen." I sighed and looked up from my paintin. It showed a girl in a white dress. Standing surrounded by trees. And a full moon. "Maybe. It can be. It's complicated." I whispered and continued to paint. "I think you would be a good queen." I thought about her words and smiled slightly. "Thank you, darling." I said and we continued to paint.

But when a knock on the door was heard I looked up once more. "Hope?" Hayley said when she came in and looked to the both of us, surprised. She sat down and eyed what we just did. "Are you two alright?" She asked the little girl and me. Hope and I both nodded smiling. "Yes. We're good. We're just painting. It's actually quite relaxing." I said and chuckled. "She's right." Hope stated and hugged her mom and when she did I looked down to my painting.

I was quite happy with it. I left Hope's room and went with my painting in mine. I was surprised that when I openend the door I found Klaus leaning against the wall. "What do you want here?" I asked and put the piece of paper in my hands away. "Just to talk." I rolled my eyes and turned around to close my door and then sat down on my bed.

Klaus still looked at me. "I want you to stay." He started and I looked at him surprised. "What?" I whispered even though I've heard him clearly. "If anything of this is true, you could use our help. Leah was an extraordinary witch. She was clever, loyal, beautiful and pure. And when I look at you I see her strength. You are extraordinary, Olivia. You may not trust us but I hope you will. Someday." I swallowed and took a deep breath then looked at confused. "How did you know my mother?" was my answer to his speech.

"I met her a long time ago. Like you she was immortal. Till one day..." And then it made sense. "Till the day I was born..." I said and he nodded. "I want to know everything. Teach me." I whispered and he looked at me with a smirk on his lips. "So I will." he said and held out his hand. After I thought about it, I took his hand.
