Huge thanks to Gabriel for buying my Patreon! It really means a lot to me! anyways, onto the story!

[Location: Salvatore Boarding School] [3rd POV]

After saying that, Talia let out an inward groan as Roman began to walk up to Hope. "What are you doing here?" Hope asked him, not really wanting to be anywhere near the boy, partly due to her feeling the annoyance that Talia was wafting at the sight of the boy.

"Dr. Saltzmans been a little overwhelmed, so, uh, I've been doing a little...recruiting recon for him lately. But he asked me to come in today and lend a hand" Roman replied, while glancing at Talia.

"This is Talia, my girlfriend" Hope said, noticing Roman's glances of confusion towards her. "Also a witch" Talia said, looking at the man with a smile that was far too wide to be anything real.

Noticing the look he was getting from both Hope and Talia, he awkwardly spoke "I better go find Dr. Saltzman." He said, before turning and walking off.

"You really don't like him, do you?" Hope asked, with a small smirk on her face, at the obvious annoyance on Talia's face. Talia hearing this, just turned to her girlfriend with a raised eyebrow "It's hard not to, especially when he looks at what's mine, with a look like that" Talia said with a low scowl on her face.

Hope giggled slightly at her girlfriend, knowing just how possessive she was over her. Pecking her on the lips, Hope replied "Don't worry about him, Talia. I belong to you, and you alone~ Just like how you belong to me, and me alone~" Hope said while leaning into her girlfriends

ear.

Talia looked at the mischievous girl, before giving her a soft slap on her fat ass, causing the girl to jump slightly "Nope, none of that right now, otherwise I'm going to be fucking you until tomorrow morning" Hope pouted slightly at Talia, having hoped she could get her back blown out, instead of going to some stupid pageant. "Don't worry though, we can have some fun tonight" Talia said with a smirk, while beginning to walk off, leaving a slightly horny Hope behind her.

[A little while later]

It was a little later, and most of the preparations had been completed. Right now, Talia, Hope, Penelope, and Josie were in a room, waiting for Lizzie who had called for them. Talia didn't really want to be there, but knew that the blonde haired girl would just find her and drag her there on her own.

As the door slid open, the group looked Lizzie who had just walked in, and shut the door behind her. "I am withdrawing from Miss Mystic Falls. Effective immediately"

Blinking, Hope leaned back slightly into Talia "And here I thought you had something important to tell us"

Penelope on the otherhand, replied with a different answer "Come for the underwhelming announcement, stay for the epic meltdown" Talia snorted at that, knowing that the sight of Lizzie having a meltdown, was not exactly pretty, or safe.

"Okay, wait, why are you quitting?" Josie asked her sister, not really understanding why she was doing this, as she knew just how much Lizzie wanted to take part in the pageant, and how much she enjoyed it.

"A personal issue with one of the judges" Lizzie replied, before continuing "A direct result of that bitch Dana's sabotage The head judge is her mother. The town pharmacist. There is always next year for me. But that does not mean that we here at the Salvatore School shouldn't bring home the title and stick it to those townies" Penelope rolled her eyes at that. "So, I have studied all of the stats and advanced metrics, and I have chosen a replacement" Josie cracked a smile at this, thinking it would be her chosen, only to stop smiling as she heard what her sister said next "Hope Mikaelson"

"Not that I am not happy for Hope, about whatever this thing even is. But why not chose Josie, your own sister?" Talia asked, knowing full well that Hope did not really want to do this thing, and Josie did. Josie looked down at this, while Lizzie replied "Well the metrics and data don't lie. Hope is the perfect choice, now, let's get you your room so I can give you the research you need to win"

"Oh, and you can't come Talia, this is for Hope's eyes only" Lizzie added, as she walked out of the room, dragging Hope along. Watching them leave, Talia turned to Josie "You know, I really don't like your sister sometimes"

"Only somtimes?" Penelope asked with a raised eyebrow. "Well, most of the time" Talia conceded, not really liking Lizzie very much. She found the girl to be incredibly selfish, and didn't seem to really care about Josie, not in the same way Josie cared about her.

"It's okay, she wants to win, and she's right, Hope is obviously the better pick" Josie said with a fake smile, before walking out of the room.

"She really needs to learn to stick up for herself, and not let Lizzie dictate every little thing" Talia said with a sigh, which Penelope nodded at "I've been trying to get her to realize that, but she's stubborn, hopefully this pageant will drill it into her head" Penelope said, before also walking out, leaving Talia alone in the room.

'Now what do I do?' Talia thought with a sigh, knowing that the dance practice wouldn't be for another hour or two.

She got her answer in the form of...taking a nap.

[Later...again]

After the rather enjoyable nap, Talia was dragged to the dance practices by Lizzie. Currently, she was dancing with Hope, both of them having more than enough practice to not mess up. Hope because of well...her entire family, and Talia from her past life.

"What is even so good about pageants anyways?" Talia asked, still dancing with Hope, doing some hand thing where they aren't allowed to touch eachother physically, but have there hands close to eachother.

"I think it's just an excuse to show off younger girls or teens, and not get in trouble for it" Hope said, not really understanding it either. She was only doing it because Lizzie was going to be annoying otherwise, plus, she wanted Talia to see her in a dress again.

They continued to dance for a while afterwards, but soon Hope was getting a bit sick of it, so the two decided to go outside and get some fresh air, away from all the other people. "Who knew pageants were so demanding" Hope said with a groan, starting to regret her decision.

Talia just looked at her girlfriend in amusement "Well, I'll make sure to give you a massage tonight" Talia said, causing Hope to look at her with a smile, not showing any sort of tiredness anymore. 'This little minx' Talia thought, realizing the girl was just acting, in order to get a massage from her.

"Is that statue new?" Hope asked out of the blue, noticing a strange looking statue. Turning, Talia stopped as she stared at the thing, before sighing "That is not a statue...that looks to be

MG's mom, pretfried by some sort of Gorgon"

"We just can't catch a break, can we?"

"Who would do this to my mom?" MG asked, after getting word from Talia about his own mother being petrified. While he said this, Alaric looked over the petrified statue like version

of MG's mother.

"A gorgon. Probably hiding as a human, all you need to do, is look for a human that only just recently appeared, that is acting suspicious" Talia said with a shrug, causing Alaric to nod "Yeah that makes sense. Alright, Lizzie, Hope, Talia, you three keep an eye on the contestants, while MG and I will look around campus. And everyone, stay alert, and make sure to be careful out there" Alaric said, before everyone began to walk off, with Lizzie and Hope going to Lizzie's room, while Talia was going back to her and Hope's room, in order to pick out a proper suit.

Some time had passed, and it was now officially time for the pageant itself. Walking into the entrance of the room, was Talia in a suit she ended up picking out herself.

Talia really wasn't sure what to go with, so she just went with something that was comfortable, and that she thought looked good. Walking forward, she noticed Hope standing and waiting for her, in a beautiful dress.

Talia took in the sight of her girlfriend with a smile, quite liking the dress on her. "You look

beautiful, love" Talia said, moving to stand next to Hope, who looked towards her and smiled at the suit. "You don't look so bad yourself" Hope said cheekily, causing Talia to smile in

amusement.

Talia slowly took Hope's left arm in her right, intertwining them. The two took a step forward, as it was getting close to their time to get called. "You ready?" Talia softly whispered, causing the slightly nervous Hope, to nod "As long as I'm with you, I'm ready for anything" Hope said, only to cringe slightly afterwards, while Talia let out a snort at the

cringey line.

"Miss Hope Mikaelson, escorted by Talia Morningstar" The woman said, as the two walked down the stairs. The two were forced to wait for a little, so that the others coud get introduced

as well.

After another few minutes, the two were finally able to start. Bowing to Hope, while she

curtseyed to her, the two began their little dance. Starting with each of their right hands raised, and put closely together, but not touching. Then doing the same on the other side, while also rotating. Talia didn't really understand what that dance even was, but didn't

question it.

The two continued their dance, while Talia began to listen in silently on Lizzie and Josie's argument they were having.

"What are they fighting about?" Hope asked, noticing the two were fighting. "Lizzie not choosing Josie, as well as not telling her that Penelope is leaving, and all the other ways she's been treating her" Talia replied, causing Hope to crack a smile, happy that the girl was finally sticking up for herself, against her sister.

"It's also about the dress your wearing" Talia said softly, causing Hope to blink in confusion

"What about it?"

"Your father gave it to her" Talia said softly, knowing the reaction that that was about to get. Hope hearing this, teared up slightly "My dad chose this dress?" "He did" Talia replied, before noticing Hope was beginning to cry, and seemed to be on the edge of some sort of

breakdown.

"Calm down, love. Focus on me, okay?" Talia softly said, before a voice sounded over the microphone "May I have your attention please? Without further ado, it is my honor to announce our very own Miss Mystic Falls. From the Salvatore School, Miss Hope Mikaelson" At this, the lights focused on Hope, causing her tears to begin to fall, and her to begin to panic

slightly.

This was stopped when Talia quickly wrapped her in a hug "It's alright baby, I'm here, let it all out" Talia softly whispered, causing Hope to sniffle before she began to softly sob into Talia's chest. "It's alright, I'm here, I'll always be here" Talia whispered again, softly consoling her sobbing girlfriend.

It was a little after the end of the pageant, and most of the guests had already left. Hope was currently talking with Lizzie, while Talia was walking towards Alaric's office, having been called there for some reason.

Walking towards the door, Talia blinked as she felt a magical energy within the room, the

strongest she had felt in this world so far. Opening the door, Talia blinked in surprise when she found a woman that was roughly the same height as her, if not slightly shorter, with blonde hair, and green eyes.

"Ah, Talia, you're finally here" Alaric said with a sigh, motioning for her to sit, while the woman looked at her. Sitting, Talia looked Alaric in the eyes, as he began to speak. "This is Freya Mikaelson, Hope's aunt...and she's here to speak with you about Hope"

That's the end of the chapter.

Dun dun dun! Freya is now at the Salvatore school, any ideas why? If you can guess it rightn/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

then you get an oversized cookie!

Next chapter will probably be shorter, and will cover mostly her and Freya's interaction.

This universe is coming to a close! I am still thinking over what the next universe should be, with some people recommending that I go a main line universe, so that this fic gains more popularity, which I can sort of see the appeal, but at the same time, I'd rather do something

unique and new.

I'm thinking of having her go to Shadowhnters next, then a more main line universe, like

Harry Potter, or an anime, like MHA. Idk though, I'm still deciding. Anyways, have a good day! Point out any mistakes! See you tomorrow!
