"The original trio is back."

POV Olivia:

"Any news on Beatrix?", I ask Andreas as soon as he enters our apartment again after his lessons. "No", he sighs frustratedly, "No one's seen her. Something's happened to her." "I'll look for her with you", I decide and am about to take my jacket, but Andreas stops me. 

"No, it's alright. I'll look for her later. Let's just enjoy the afternoon now, okay?", Andreas suggests softly and I wonder what's wrong. He almost freaked out when he realized that Beatrix is missing and now he wants to sit down with me when we can tell that something's happened? 

I don't need to be a mind fairy to know that he's afraid and planning something. Or has he already done something? "Andreas, what did you do?", I ask worriedly. "Nothing", he replies way too quickly, "Can we just enjoy this moment, Liv?" 

I look at Andreas and know that he wouldn't talk about it anyways. I don't know everything that he knows so I can't judge him. I just know that if I wouldn't want to talk about it, I wish he'd respect my decision. 

That's what I have to do now as well. "Okay but if you want to talk about anything, I'm right here", I assure him and Andreas smiles at me lightly, "What's your plan for this afternoon?" "Let's go for a walk, love."

"I gave Scar the sword that I had before I left", Andreas tells me when we walk through the forest and I smile proudly. "She must have been extremely happy", I assume feeling happy for her. "She was happy", he nods smiling. "Why did you give it to her?", I wonder. I'm glad that he did it but I why. 

"She's my daughter", Andreas states as if I didn't know that, "I've made a lot of mistakes but you ground me. You were right. All of us should be together." "You're getting closer to Sky and Scar each day." "Thanks to you", Andreas whispers as he stops walking to look into my eyes softly, "I love you, Olivia. I'll love you forever."

"Hey, do you have some time?", I ask Saul as soon as he opens the door for me. He opens the door a more widely so I can see Stephen sitting on his couch holding a beer in his hand. I completely forgot how old we all became. 

Last time that I've seen Stephen, he was a young boy and now he's sitting here drinking a beer with his brother. "If you don't mind some random conversations", Saul smiles at me and I shake my head. 

"That's exactly what I need right now", I chuckle and go inside to take myself a beer and sit down next to Stephen, "Now that the students are having a party, you make your own?" "Well, it's been some time since I've had my last beer", Saul states. 

"I'm glad that you're back. When Scar told me that I wouldn't even see you because you're in jail, I was worried sick." "I'm surprised you haven't killed me now that you could", Stephen sighs calmly. 

"Yeah, me too. Scar even made a joke about it when she saved me. She compared you and her to Olivia and I but she didn't say a name back then." "She compared me to you?", Stephen repeats interestedly, "That means I'd be the right one?" 

"You're not the right one and Riven's not the right one. Scar's my little girl and she doesn't need a boy by her side. Not until I'm dead", Saul says seriously and I smile recognizing how protective he is about her once again. 

"And you're the brother I never wanted", Stephen replies feistily. "Yeah, same", Saul sighs. "Wait, why would you be the right one according to the comparison?", I ask Stephen confused. I ended up with Andreas, not Saul. 

"You may have chosen Andreas by now, but Saul is the right one for you." "Steph-" "I've ended things anyways", Stephen interrupts me so I cannot doubt his statement. Saul the right one for me? What would have happened if he had confessed his feelings to me earlier? No, it doesn't matter. I'm with Andreas. 

"You did?", I ask surprised but sadly. Stephen became a great young man and I understand why Scar likes him and Riven. "I thought the students have talked about it by now", Stephen furls his eyebrows. 

"What did you do?", Saul sighs knowing that if students talk about it, it must have been a serious breakup. "I just.. I was pretty clear with my intention." I don't expect men from this world to be any different to Americans so I know that 'clear' is a synonym for 'harsh' here. 

"Great, you just pushed her into Riven's arm", Saul mumbles. "I thought you didn't want me to be with her?", Stephen wonders. "I haven't fully decided yet but I probably prefer you with her." "Why? I like Riven", I add and I'm excited to see what they say about it. 

Riven seems like a nice boy. Sure, he seems angry and frustrated but I could tell that he cares about her. That's what most important in my opinion. "Seriously? That boy only means trouble", Stephen defends himself feeling attacked, "Did you know that they're smoking joints? I assume you didn't know that about him." 

"I've had some time to watch them, Stephen", I chuckle, "I know what Riven does but I also know that he doesn't force her to join. Saul, we've had some fun, too, as teenagers." "You were smoking joints?", Stephen says shocked and Saul grins. 

"I'm not perfect", he nods, "Well, looks like you should fight for Scar." "Yeah, sure, as if she would take me back now", Stephen mumbles. "Well, if you do it like Saul and tell her about your feelings when she's already decided for Riven, then it won't work." "Hey, I was honest", Saul argues. 

"Way too late", I counter. "I think you should have left Andreas for him", Stephen shrugs and I look at him slightly annoyed. "Yeah, and you shouldn't have lied to my daughter. Come on, change into some more attractive clothes and go to this party." "Fine, I'm already on my way so you two can be alone. Just don't do anything that Andreas wouldn't be happy about."
