Plus, rest of story will be in third person, the prologue is in Marie's point of view to brush up on the history of the Original! Sit back this is going to be a bumpy ride! Enjoy ;)

I was conceived by magic, I was never planned to be born by either of my parents… Esther thought a baby would be ideal to end a love triangle between her two sons. She had many plans for me, and it still haunts me. My father was unaware of my mother's pregnancy until the darkest hour when they became vampires. I was born in that dark time, the village people were being slaughtered like cattle and my mother took her last dying breaths holding me in her arms – child birth too much for her.

Esther took me from my mother's cold body determined to keep me away from my father, away from his fury, the fury he solely had for Esther. My father killed my grandmother for the curse she put on him, and for taking me – it was her final revenge as she was dragged to hell.

With Esther's request to torture my father more, Ayana Bennet took me with Tatia Petrova's mother and daughter. Turning their backs on the burning village and the horrid screams.

As a bargaining chip to escape before my other relatives find her, Ayana gave me to Rebekah so she and the other two can escape the bloodlust creatures.

However, before Ayana left me, she placed a protection seal on my skin. It protected me from my own family from the creatures that lives inside them, Ayana begged the spirits to protect me but with a price. I was cursed, every five years danger finds itself to me determined to take me to the spirits because I was never meant to be alive.

I survived with my family by my side, they watched me grow – protected me from each attempt fate had to drag me back to the spirits. Each year that I grew closer to the five year mark my family became very protective, and as a child I pushed the boundaries that threatened my life.

On the discovery of having the ability to change humans to vampires my father, Kol, and Elijah spread the race and made armies to protect us… However, with the threat of vampires in our own castle and me being merely human my father reluctantly chose power and sent me with Rebekah to another noble's home, I was ten.

I held their humanity, and the curse was determined to punish them – make them choose sides in what best suited me. Juggling fate with each decision they made for me. Ultimately the curse twisted their best decision for me and it won in the most horrific tragedy…

I spent a few years in the other castle, made a friendship with a boy who was soon to be knighted. I was fifteen when I saw him again after the years away at war… fifteen when we are supposed to have matrimony…fifteen when I took my last breaths.

I was tricked by my first love's brother, to be the revenge for what Mikael has done to their family. The slaughter that sparked the beginning of the centuries of war between vampires and werewolves. Under the full moon my love and his brother's pack turned… I tried to escape following his pleads to run – I was not fast enough the wolves hit me off my horse, devouring me. My screams were cut off by the blood that filled up my lungs…

My father was the first to find me, the despair and heartbreak upon seeing me turned off just by a howl of one of my murderers. I was supposed to die that day, even the spirits believed it to be so but Esther had other plans. When I was an infant just before Klaus murdered her, Esther spelled the Petrova blood in my veins to the moment I died I would be brought back as a vampire. I was always her experiment to perfect vampirism – her test was successful. My sireline cannot have bloodlust, our bodies reject the amount of blood that we did not need to survive, and we are considered different from the other sirelines in my family. However, being her experiment I was an abomination that the spirits wanted to strike down to prevent my power from going into the wrong hands.

I am a hybrid very much so like my father but more. With Esther power, she created me with magic in my mother's womb, I am the three species of the supernatural – the perfect specimen. Because I do not have the blood lust like other vampires, I was never indented in triggering my werewolf side, however I misinterpret my strength and killed a man to protect a woman.

I limited my use of magic in my immortal life to prevent angering the spirits, and for the fear of becoming possessed by one. There was a loophole to my magic, since I was so unnatural and using powerful spells I can loss control allowing a spirit a foothold in the world of the living through me. Esther had done just that, threatened my love ones using me just until she had her own body back…

We were able to vanquish Esther and her plans. Finn and Sage, after a close chance of death, they separated away from us to explore the world again like they used to and we decided finally after centuries of not being together, we can all reside in one place. Elijah and Rebekah went to New Orleans ahead while Kol, Klaus, and I followed behind after obstacles with the Hunters Five and Silas. For the price of being alive, the spirits bargained that I had to help destroy Silas and they will stop their torment on me. They turn their protected seal on my skin into a prophecy for the Hunter Five to find me – I was the key to destroying Silas. I was the gateway for Qetsiyah to possess me –have the unlimited power to kill Silas. I allowed it, for centuries I scurry because of the spirits' torments since I was a child and to be given a deal to stop the torments was something I wished for. My father and uncle set out to New Orleans with me.

We thought we can finally settle down after centuries of misfortunate events but centuries of bloodshed and violence – karma would not give us that luxury…

For the new readers who haven't read the first story, there will be different outcomes and events especially with characters (Kol and Finn are alive, new characters, Marcel age difference) just a little of warning but there will be flashbacks. For returning fans – Welcome back! Hope the prologue refreshed your memory on events that happen in the Hidden Truth if you miss the link here: s/8938427/1/The-Hidden-Truth
