CLARKE'S POV
It's another day in Malivore. Just like every other day. After a couple hours of doing nothing,as usual, Hope starts to feel restless and tries to do some magic.She says that doing magic relaxes her somehow and if she remains out of practice for a long time,she might forget.So everyday at one point,she starts doing all these tricks as part of her "entertainment". I mean seriously,her parents gave her such cool genes while what did I get from my father? Abandonment?
"Ignalusa" She creates fire with her hand and confines it into a ball.Then with one swirl of her hand,it goes up and bursts into fireworks.She looks up and smiles and I swear that's the prettiest smile I've ever seen.
But then I realize what's happening above me and suddenly I start to panic,"Uh... Hope?I think...I have a confession to make.."
"What is it?"
"I'm scared of fire.Like, REALLY scared." She looks at me weirdly at first but then she realizes how serious I am so with a snap of her fingers,the fireworks stop and fall down in the form of sparkles.Now THAT'S something I like.
"I am scared of any kind of fire,be it a candle,stove fire,bonfire,lighter,whatever.And fireworks scare me the same.Now don't tease me or laugh at me." I turn away, embarrassed.I mean, she's a witch,witches LOVE fire,they literally cast most spells surrounded by candles so now Hope will think I'm a wuss.
What's "wuss",Clarke?Say weakling or something.Modern words are so stupid!
"No ofcourse not,why will I tease you about your phobia? That'll be pretty mean of me,but if you're scared of fire, I'm really not the best company to keep,you know?" Now she's totally teasing me.
"Hey chill,I am not THAT scared." I protest.
"Says the one who made me stop BEAUTIFUL fireworks."
"Hey, I've been around you all this time watching you do all these tricks WITH fire,I never flinched once.I can handle." I say fixing my collar.I lie,ofcourse I flinched when she wasn't looking.But hey,I ain't no scaredy cat.
"Yeah sure,Ignalusa." This time she casts the fire my way and I scramble back.
"HOPE WHAT THE HELL-" And she starts laughing.I realize this is probably the first time I'm watching her laugh so loudly in the most carefree way.Why doesn't she do that more often?
"Look,I was ready to empathize but you were acting like it didn't affect you so just wanted to show it to you."
I frown,"You're mean."
"And you're cute." She says that and pulls my cheek.Am I a baby or what?
But again,who am I to complain?
HOPE MIKALESON just called you cute.

"So, tell me, what's your greatest fear,Hope Mikaelson?"
"Failing I guess?Not becoming the person for whom my parents gave up so much for?For whom my father ended his thousand year old life?"
"Remember how when we first met here,you taunted me about how my whole life was about failing daddy?"
"Yeah,sorry,I know that was pretty insensitive of me.But back then when I looked at you,I only saw a guy who tried to raise Malivore,who tried to harm Landon.I didn't know you ,Clarke."
