Me,Lizzie, Hope, and Josie stepped off the black Salvatore bus in the middle of the town square. "God it's hot out here." I waved my hand to produce some cool air. Dorian gave us supplies to clean, things to pick up trash, trash cans, sponges, buckets, soap. You know, basic community service. I grabbed a bucket, sponge, and soap. "Anyone wanna help me clean up some graffiti?" I asked. Hope stepped up grabbing a rag, "I will" She said, I smiled and nodded before walking to a side of the building where in purple graffiti the words spelled ""

"If they are going to make fun of us at least learn how to spell it." I scoffed putting soap in the bucket filled with water and mixing it as Hope chuckled and wet the rag she was holding, I dipped the sponge into the soapy water and started scrubbing away the spray-paint. "So, any luck with magic?" Hope asked scrubbing the wall, "Nope" I shook my head. "Eventually you will." She reassured me, I nodded.

I squeezed my sponge and I lost my grip making it splash some water onto Hope, my face made an "Oh no" expression, Hope looked at me and threw her rag onto me getting my shirt wet. "Oh you're on." I declared before grabbing the rag and dumping it into the water, I put the rag over her head and squeezed it making the water drip all over all, she gasped a little from the coldness. I laughed a little, she chanted something probably in Latin and before I knew it the bucket was completely on my head and I was soaked in water.

I pulled the bucket off my head, "You better run before I beat you with my shoe." I said jokingly but with a serious face, she started running and I chased after her. "Hope Mikealson you can run but you cant hide!" I shouted taunting her laughing "Yes I can!" She shouted back "Invisique." She said to her self, I looked at her confused and then she just poof, she disappeared. "What- How did you, Hope that's not fair I can't do magic yet!" I shouted and stopped running looking around for her.

Before I could even process what just happened I felt someone jump onto my back like a piggyback ride. Hope uncloaked herself and I caught her legs to make she wouldn't fall, she wrapped her arms around my neck and held on, "So I can't hide you say?" She said mockingly, "Oh shut up." I laughed, "But embrace yourself." I told her before I began running down around the building as fast as I could accidentally bumping into another groups bucket, "Oh shit sorry" I laughed a little.

"Hope and Octavia! Come here please!" Dorian shouted towards us, I looked back at her and she looked at me "uh oh." I whispered to her before carrying her to Dorian and letting go of her legs and she lets go landing on her feet. "What's up?" I asked. "You two look like you are having to much fun, obviously. So you guys are now on trash duty." He says before handing us the stick to pick them up. "Fun." I mumble before walking to a park area with Hope.

"Well I think I got a little soap in my eyes." I chuckled lightly rubbing my eyes, "Oh sorry." Hope laughed, "It's fine it was fun." I dismissed, "Yea, It was." She smiled picking up a piece of trash and looking towards me. I smiled and continued cleaning up the trash, after ten minutes or so Hope looked at me, "Have you gotten any notes?" She asked me. I shook my head no, she exhaled disappointed, "What?" I asked her with a confused expression, "A note can help us find your dad by doing a locater spell." Hope said, "How, my dad isn't missing." I denied.

"Octavia there is no way your dad is not in the military, no trace of him. And a sociopathic murderer out and about and you randomly got a magical note with a said sociopath's phrase? Tavia, there is no way this isn't involved with your dad." She replied , I exhaled and jabbed the trash picker into the ground angrily, "HOPE. MY DAD IS FINE." I yelled, Hope went silent and just stared at me. Why did I get so angry? "Hope- I- I'm sorry I didn't mean to.." I apologized, "It's fine." She said quietly before going back to cleaning.
