Chapter 27 [Vault]

[Title - I am Hope Mikaelson | Chapter 5]

[Location: Alfea] [POV: Hope Mikaelson]

Some time has passed since I assimilated my new powers, and I was quick to make use of the instructive muscle memory. I used the new power by reading up on some martial arts, as well as watching a few videos on YouTube, from professional fighters. Mimicking them wasn’t at all difficult, and was…really really helpful.

Currently, I was walking through the halls of Alfea to the party that was going on. I didn’t entirely want to go, but I knew that my parents would want me to at least try and make some new friends. Especially mom…

Annnyways, walking into the main courtyard where the party was taking place, I immediately noticed Terra, Musa, Aisha, and Stella. With the former three speaking to one another about the dead shepherd that was killed courtesy of burned ones.

“So, you’re the new mysterious roomie” A voice said, as I turned to see Bloom walking next to me. “Not a party gall? Guess we’re similar in that aspect, there’s…a lot of people here” Bloom continued, while I just chuckled.

“Yeah, I didn’t really want to be here, but I’m pretty sure if my mom was around, she’d be pretty pissed at me for not coming” I replied, inwardly grimacing at the fact that I just openly mentioned my very much deceased mother.

Bloom noticed but didn’t comment, thank god. “So, where are you from? I came from California personally”

“Born and raised in New Orleans. But I was in Virginia before coming here” I replied, smiling as fond memories of New Orleans trickled into my mind.

“Is the food in New Orleans as good as they say?” Bloom asked with a seemingly interested look on her face.

“Better” I replied with a grin, remembering the food and atmosphere of that beautiful place. If there was anywhere in the world I would settle down in, it was New Orleans.

“Any idea what’s outside? I’d rather get away from all of…this” Bloom asked as she motioned to the large crowd of kids drinking and talking with one another.

“Well there’s outside, but it’s pretty dangerous out there. All sorts of animals, and burned ones, if the rumors are true at least” I replied, knowing that Bloom was going to be going out there either way.

“But no people, right?” Bloom asked.

“Well I guess, but-” I wasn’t able to continue as Bloom cut me off. “Perfect, thanks”

“Not to sound rude or anything, but it genuinely is dangerous out there, besides the supposed burned ones. Especially when alone” I said before she could walk off, causing her to raise an eyebrow at me.

“Was that a pickup line? Not the worst one I’ve heard. But I’ll be fine, thank you either way” Bloom said with a small giggle, before walking past me before I could say anything.

‘Well that’s definitely different’ I thought, realizing that Bloom in this universe may or may not be gay, or Bisexual at the very least.

Seeing that Bloom had left, I let out a small sigh, before looking around, before walking off.

Walking back through the halls back to my dorm, I sighed in slight annoyance ‘Definitely not getting involved with a bunch of soon-to-be drunk/high teens’ I thought, before being cut out of my thoughts as I felt someone bump into me.

“Sorry, I wasn’t looking where I was going” A voice sounded out, as I looked to the one who bumped into my back, and got knocked down.

“It’s alright” I said, as I gave her a hand, allowing her to get back to her feet.

“You’re already leaving the party? Didn’t it just start?” Beatrix asked.

“Parties aren’t my thing, especially not ones with a bunch of drunk or high teens” I said bluntly, causing her mask to crack as a small smile crept onto her face.

“I’m Beatrix, and you are?” Beatrix introduced.

“Hope, Hope Mikaelson” I replied, causing her to smirk softly.

“Well, Hope, I do hope to see you soon” She says with an almost seductive smirk, before walking past me.

I definitely did not look back, nope, no way, nuh uh…okay I definitely did. But, she’s hot as hell! And, she was very obviously flirting and trying to get a reaction, with her hips swaying like that.

‘God damnit Hope, get it under control’ I groaned inwardly, ignoring the girl I deemed to be the hottest in the entirety of Winx Saga, and someone I definitely wasn’t attracted to…definitely. Hope 0, Beatrix 1.

Getting back to my dorm room, I pushed the very attractive girl to the back of my mind, as I flopped back into my bed.

I ended up falling asleep for a few hours, tired from the long day.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was awoken to the sound of knocking on my door, still warded off so that no one except me can enter. Getting up with an annoyed groan, I walked to the door and opened it with “What? I was napping”

“Bloom is missing, any idea where she could be?” Terra asked, a anxious expression on her face.

“Probably beyond the barriers. She was talking about going outside earlier. And considering the looks I saw Stella giving her, she’s your best bet” I replied, knowing full well that Bloom was going to be okay.

“Thank you, seriously” Terra said happily, as she walked to where Stella was laying. ‘Might as well tag along’

I stood and listened as Stella explained that she had given Bloom her ring, a royal heirloom that allows those with it, to travel to the first world via a sort of portal. The princess (Stella, as she is quite literally the princess) seemed to not give a damn that she was potentially sending Bloom to her death.

“We should probably tell Dowling” I said. The others nodded, running off to inform Dowling, while I stayed behind for a second.

“You being miserable does not give you the right to treat others like this” I said, causing the girl to scoff.

“And what could you possibly know about being miserable? My life is far worse than yours ever could be!” Stella said, as she got to her feet in anger.

Hearing her reply, I scowled darkly “Believe me, my life is far more miserable than yours. Because at least you still have a mother, at least you still have a family, that’s better than what I have” I said with a scowl, looking at the seemingly shocked princess, before walking off.

Walking down to the courtyard, I leaned against a wall, breathing in deeply, trying to control the werewolf rage deep in my heart at what the ignorant girl had spewed.

“And what are you doing up so late?” A voice eventually sounded out, after me sitting there for over 10 minutes.

Turning, I saw it was Beatrix. “A bitchy princess”

“Ah, I see why you’re up now” She replied with a giggle. “Wanna do it with me?” She asked, as she brought out a lighter, with what was definitely a blunt.

“At 12?” I replied with a raised eyebrow. Sure, I’ve definitely done a blunt before, but not that late.

“Never too late to have fun” She replied with a smirk.

“You know, you’re a pretty good actor” I replied with a chuckle. “Acting all goody two shoes, I’m assuming it’s got something to do with the headmistress?” I asked, a knowing smile on my face.

Oh, don’t get me wrong, there was no shot in hell I was letting Rosalind come back, but, I didn’t mind her messing around a bit. I’m far from a good person, courtesy of the shit in my past life.

“Ah, that would be spoilers. Now, do you want to do this blunt or not?” Beatrix said with a grin, as she lit it and took a puff.

Considering I am a vampire, and all the other shit I’ve got going on biologically, something like this wouldn’t hurt, would probably help with dealing with little miss princess’s bullshit too.

“Might as well” I said with a shrug, causing her to move forward with a grin. Taking a puff, she moved forward and got her lips closer to mine, before breathing the smoke out, which I breathed in, before breathing it back out.

Raising my eyebrow at this, I leaned into her ear with a small smirk on my face “It takes a lot more than that to seduce me, princess~” I purred, before leaning back with a grin of victory, as I noticed the dusting of pink on her cheeks.

“But, keep doing things like that, and it might just work eventually~” I husked, before walking past the blushing girl, swaying my hips just as she did, teasing the poor girl.

I grinned in victory as I felt the glance on my ass, courtesy of Beatrix. I could hear the rapid beating of her heart, as she was definitely trying and failing to push down her blush.

‘Hope 1, Beatrix 1’

‘This is going to be a lot more fun than I thought~’

That’s the end of this chapter!

As you can guess, Beatrix is a love interest. Why? Because she is hot! Like, crazy hot. Of course, Hope isn’t going to just let her do all the teasing, and is going to thoroughly enjoy turning the girl into a sputtering mess.

Anyways, have a good day, see you tomorrow!
