Her name is...
My birth name was Katniss Labonair. I was born to Roland my father- a man with a not triggered werewolf gene curse and Amelia- an original witch. I had a brother named Percy. We were a simple family but quite poor. The village where we lived was home to hundreds of werewolves. My kind hearted brother who was 2 years older than I had died a cruel death at the hands of a werewolf…
He was dead, dead… he couldn't be. I ran and ran until i stumbled and fell tripping on some roots in a field. That's when he found me- Kol. He was son of Mikael the great warrior. Our families were united. My father and Mikael being good friends.
"Katniss we should go home. Your parents are worried about you."
"He's gone Kol. Gone." Kol and my brother were best friends, I could see the sorrow on his face.
"I know Katniss." He said barely keeping the tears in. But I couldn't. I let it all out. We sat there- me crying, him just sitting in silence giving me a hug. "it will be alright." I looked at him and I believed him. We made our way back to his house silently.
My brother's body was on a field near by being burned. My mum, my dad and the Mikaelson family surrounding the fire.
6 months later
Kol and I had become best friends. Always going out to the woods. He had helped me learn how to fight and hunt. These things weren't usual for a girl. We were always taught to stay inside and practise healing. Though I didn't need it as I was a witch- I had inherited it from my mother.
A year later
"I think it's time for your daughter to be wed. Do you not Roland? I mean 21! That's far too old. She should have been wed years ago." we were all gathered around the fire- the Mikalsons, my parents and I.
"I agree Mikael. But I don't think any of the villagers would want to marry someone of our status. We are too poor."
"Well I think it's about time our two families united for good. Dear Katniss should marry one of my sons. I think it should be Nicklaus. He's of perfect age for her- two years older. After all he has the least chance of getting married to a girl in the village than the others. What do you say Roland. You need descendants."
My father nodded. "They shall be wed as you wish. But when do you think right of time?"
"Amelia and I have noticed that the moon and the sun are bind together in eclipse in six days' time. We think it should be the best time." Esther offered.
As they finished their discussion they all left. I started leaving with kol and Rebekah when I was called back. "Katniss can you stay behind for a while." I turned to see Niklaus. I nodded and went over to him. "Well sweetheart, what positions we have got into hey? Are you alright with the decision?"
"Well we both know it isn't our decision to make Nik."
"Come walk with me." We walked along the fields in silence, his hand in mine. "why shouldn't it be our decision? It's our lives."
I thought about his question for a while before answering, "well it's thanks to the decision that I'm even to be married. Otherwise none of the villagers would want to marry me and my parents are to scared to allow me to be wed to a werewolf… after what happened to my brother…"
He stopped walking then and turned to face me. "Well sweet Katniss I think all the villagers are missing out. A face as beautiful as yours doesn't deserve someone like me. But I hope I can fulfil your needs in the way I can. Come now, our families are waiting."
6 days later
As my mother and Esther had preached it was the eclipse today, also my wedding day. I wore the best dress that our families could afford and Nik wore his best clothes. I stood by him in the center of the the fields we owned, with our mothers in front of us and the rest of our families stood behind.
"The spirits think it's time - exactly when the moon and sun are connected…Speak the vows." My mother says.
"I, Niklaus Mikaelson, take thee, Katniss Labonair, to be my lawful wedded Wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part, according to God's holy ordinance; and thereto I plight thee my troth."
"I, Katniss Labonair, take thee, Niklaus Mikaelson, to be my lawful wedded Husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love, cherish, and to obey, till death us do part, according to God's holy ordinance; and thereto I give thee my troth."
"Place the ring on her finger, after saying the words kiss her, to bind the spell we're chanting." Esther says.
He then places a wooden ring, made out of white oak of the tree behind, on my finger whilst saying "With this Ring I thee wed, with my body I thee worship, and with all my worldly goods I thee endow: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen."
We hear a chorus of amens behind us before he leans down and places a soft kiss against my lips. We hold on to the kiss until we eventually need to break off for a breath.
"The spirits preach that you shall both be bind together forever, even in your afterlives." Our mothers say with happy smiles.
After that we all head home. I wave goodbye to my parents, as I ought to stay with Nick on my first night of marriage. He smiles at me before wrapping an arm around me and leading me home.
"you get a room to yourself?" I ask looking around.
"Finn and 'lijah share, Kol and little hen share, Rebekah has her own room- being a girl, leaving me to my own." He says with a smile, "which I now share with my sweet wife."
I nod looking at the bed. "Nik I must say, your manners have gotten so much better." I say. He chuckles. Out of all the Mikaelsons, Nik is probably the one I know least. Finn and I collect herbs and plants together and it often leads to friendly chit chat. Elijah and I head to the markets and central village together, to negotiate items for our huntings this often leads for us to split and negotiate together. Rebakah and I being the only girls, are often left at home when the men are away, we also are the two that collect the water from the stream. The river is quite far away so we walk together, this leads to water fights and lots of chatting. I'm often left in charge of looking after Henrick, playing games and teaching him. He looks up to me as a sister and a mother. Kol and I hunt together and we're closest in age- I'm a year younger then him. So yes I knew my husband the least after all his siblings.
"well I have made myself a promise." I looked up at him, waiting for him to continue. "That I treat my wife, kinder than how my father treats mother." I smiled. Mikael and Esther had a rocky relationship. All he used her for was for giving him children. I knew that he beat her often and used cruel words.
"Well that's a lovely promise to make Nick." I said. Now where was I going to get changed?
"You don't have to be shy sweetheart, you are soon expected to be pregnant with my child."
I looked at him with fear. "Don't worry sweetheart, I won't rush or force you. But its only days before Mikael starts nagging.
I nod, "I know." I turn from him and get changed, then I get into bed and fall asleep. But its only minutes before I wake up from a nightmare of my brother's death. I get up panting.
Nik also gets up, "bad dream?" I nod still panting and breathing irregularly. "Come here," he says wrapping his arm around me. I fall asleep wrapped in his embrace.
A month later
I still sleep with nik's arms around me. He makes me feel protected. We talk often and we've become much closer. Ive hardly seen my parents but when I do I feel happy. It's a family gathering today, in the living room.
"today were all heading to our jobs and doing them properly. Finn collect herbs. Niklaus and kol will come with me and Roland to hunt. Esther and Amelia cook the food. Elijah go negotiate and don't come back home without a good bargain. Rebekah you're going to collect water alone today and Katniss and Henrick will stay home tonight. It's a full moon today so all come home in good time." Mikael says. Everyone nods. I'm about to go out with Henrick and Kol when I am called back by Mikael.
He waits till everyone is gone before speaking, "so Katniss how's life with Nick going?"
"Good."I murmur.
In under two seconds I find his hand slapping me across the cheek. "Well if it going so good then why aren't you pregnant?" I hold my hand against my cheek. It's painful but I won't cry.
I don't reply to his question so he continues. "I need descendants. You should be pregnant by the next full moon, do you understand?" I nod before he walks of. I go straight to my room, where henrick finds me.
"are you alright Katniss? Did father hurt you?" I don't reply so he continues. "hes been beating Nik for a while now as well. in fact since the day you both got married he's been beating Nik."
My eyes widen in shock. "why?"
"Father wants you to have a child. he told Nik. But nik argued with him so he beat him." I understand. Why hadn't he told me? Then it daunt on me 'I won't rush or force you.' Oh nik! Poor nik. Id talk to him when he gets home.
Just as the sun went down, everyone joined us home. After supper, we all went to our rooms. I noticed eyes look at me throughout supper- they were all staring at my cheek, which still had a pink bruise on it. As soon as nik and I got inside our room he started talking, "Katniss are you Ok? Your cheek..." he said as he stroked my cheek. I gently took his hand of and looked at him.
"Nik all the marks and bruises on your back, aren't from hunting were they?" I asked him. He looked back into my eyes then. Letting me know that my predictions were right. I gave him a hug which he gave into. "Oh nik! Why didn't you tell me?" I asked.
"My promise…"he replied, lost for words. I looked back into his eyes.
"No nik I won't let you get hurt any longer."
"He shouldn't have hurt you. I'm going to go down and ask him what nerve he had of slapping you. You're my wife!" but I stopped him.
"No nik…" he looked at me, waiting for me to continue. "I think I'm ready.."
"Are you sure?"
"As long as you're gentle…" he nods understanding.
9 months later
I was pregnant and having a baby boy any day. That night we got in bed, he was gentle as I had requested and been subtle. We were both happy to be giving birth and Mikael hadn't pestered us after the next day when Esther had performed a spell to confirm the pregnancy. Something that I could've done. We had fallen in love over the course of time and I spent all my nights snuggled against him as he covered me in soft kisses.
For the first three months I went on my jobs as usual, but I eventually got slower. I was 5 months pregnant when I had stumbled whilst walking to retrieve water with Rebekah and had fell. I had passed out immediately. Rebekah had ran back home to retrieve her brothers and Esther had worked her remedies on me to heal me. Mikael had me go back to work the next day but Nik had argued with him. Eventually Mikael asked Nik to a dual for the next day. If he won I would go back working as usual but if Nick won I could stay home.
That night I had argued with Nik and told him I'd be fine but he wasn't having any of it. "I love you and this child Katniss and I won't have you running around doing work." Before I could argue he placed a kiss on my lips sealing me.
The next day they had fought and Nik had won! I was shocked and so was everyone else. But Nik had horrible gashes cuts and bruises on his back, shoulder and arms. his mother had refused to heal him, only healing Mikael at his request. So that night I decided on healing Nik myself. But he had stopped me. "Healing using magic takes to much needed energy. Give me a kiss and ill heal from your love." What cheek! But I had kissed him and we had fell asleep that night- him topless and me only in my undergarments.
Today was the full moon. I was in bed wrapped in blankets when Nik came in. "Kity Kat im going to be out tonight. Im going to see the were wolves transform." He said with a smile. 'kity kat' that was kol's nickname for me...
I met him with a smile then it turned into a frown. "is that safe Nik?" I asked worried.
"Katniss! It me your talking about, I'll be fine. I'll be sleeping beside you when you awaken." He promised before turning to leave.
"well before you leave I think your son wants you," I said feeling the strong kicks.
He turned around with a smile and came to me. He rested his head on my stomach for a while, listening to the steady heartbeat and kicks of our child, berfore smiling up at me, giving me a kiss and walking out.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Henrick had died. He had faced the same fate as my brother. I knew him well. He was sweat child, only 15. Always curious. He and Nicklaus had gone to see the wolves transform on a full moon. Henrick had not survived. We hadn't received Henrick's body because it was so gnawled. I felt scared. Who was next in this game? I turned to see Kol with a reassuring smile. Why wasn't he upset? I wouldn't be able to take it if anything happened to him. "Kol I don't want lose you."
"You won't. You'll never lose me. I'll stay with you."
"Promise?"
"Always and forever."
It was so long ago now. But I still remember the promise. Esther also being a witch had turned the Mikaelson siblings into who are now known as the original vampires. I remember the next day after they had been turned. Kol had come to see me. He had told me that he couldn't stay in the village anymore and that he wanted me to come with him. I told him that I had to see my parents and get Nick first. When I got home I found them both dead… another werewolf attack.
Percy, Henrick, my parents… I collapsed on the floor and blood gushed out of me. I awoke, I was surrounded be the Mikaelsons. One by one they all left leaving my with my husband, he had a saddened expression. "im sorry about you parents."
"Nik what happened."
He was silent for a while before replying "you lost the child…"
I screamed "no, no Nick!"
"Shush now Katniss. I need to go soon. I want you to come with me. Ill ask mother to turn you. Well be together forever…" he placed a kiss on my lips. "I won't lose you too Katniss." I nodded, still in disbelief.
That day Esther turned me but she had learned from the last time she had turned her children. She turned me so that I had all the advantages of them but I didn't need blood to survive and didn't need a daylight ring to stay out in the sun.
So I am a hybrid- wolf and witch with immortality. Esther didn't know I was a were wolf as I hadn't triggered the gene yet. There will never be anyone like me as it is impossible to be a witch and immortal at the same time.
I stayed with them for 2 weeks. Finn, Elijah, Nicklaus, Kol and Rebekah needed blood to survive. I remember that day- the day we found out Nickwas a hybrid. Apparently Esther had had an indiscretion with a local were wolf to produce Nicklaus.
So Esther put a spell on him so that his werewolf side was lost. I fought to get to him but Mikael slapped me again and I started screaming for my husband. I could see him getting hurt but could do nothing to stop it. After the spell was done Mikael beat Esther till she bled and then went to kill Nik's blood father, before leaving he promised to hunt Nik. I ran up to my husband, taking the bounds of him. I hugged him tight.
"Katniss. My father's going to hunt me and I heard him tell mother to put a spell on us so that we would all forget you. You need to run and whenever you see one of us you need to run the other way."
"No! no Nick! You said we would be together."
"Please. Do this for me. I wouldn't bare to lose you. Please." He asked, I nodded defeated.
"You don't have anything to remember me with. If Esther performs the spell you'll forget me."
"When we meet again, which we will- were bound by the spirits remember? You can take the spell off. But until Mikael hunts us you need to run the other way."
"Wait." I said before rushing to our room and coming back down with a necklace I had made. "I made this… for you…I want you to keep it so that you'll always have something like I have our ring. I don't want you to ever take it off. I made this from the same wood that we were bound with."
Just then we heard Mikael heading for us. He looked angry and had a stake in his hand. Nik turned to me pushing my against a tree bark. "I love you. I love you Katniss Labonair till death do us part."
"I love you to Nik. I love you." We heard Esther performing the spell.
"Go! Go anywhere you can. Away from Mikael. You'll be safer alone." I nodded before he gave me the roughest and most passionate kiss we had ever shared. It was long and in our transformed forms we didn't need to break off to breath. But eventually we did and I ran and ran and didn't look back. Never looked back. That was the last time I ever saw any of the Mikaelson siblings.
And that's what I did and this where I am now. Changing names, travelling different parts of the world.
I had triggered the werewolf gene when I lost my child, I wasn't going to tell Esther or shed do the spell she did on my husband to me as well. i could turn at will. Two years after I had left the village I returned and found our house burned. I also found out from the locals that Esther had died.
If I ever caught a whiff of the Mikaelsons anywhere near where I was I headed the other way. I wanted to see them desperately but couldn't. i wanted to hear Rebekah's joyous laugh as we ran around, i wanted to hear elijah's compliments, i see Finn's nervous glances. i wanted to be care free and shoot playful glares at kol for mocking me or Nik. iwanted to feel my husband's warmth as he wrapped his arms around me as i slept.
But that all changed. I met Tyler in the Appalachian Mountains when he was trying to break his sire bond to Klaus. As another werewolf, I earned Tyler's trust and helped him turn over and over again until he finally broke the bond. Although he had told me that he lived in a trailer park in Florida, i eventually found out where he lived and that he had a wealthy family. Once i showed up at Tyler's house, Klaus immediately suspected Tyler's secrecy about me was born of him cheating on Caroline with me. we let Klaus continue to believe this in order to distract him from the fact that they were systematically unsiring his hybrids from him. Although I ultimately betrayed Tyler, i genuinely cared for him, as i refused to allow Tyler to be used in the sacrifice. our friendship effectively ended when i revealed to him my part in the massacre of his pack.
I didn't actually want Nik dead of course he was my husband- I still had the ring and when I saw him I could see my necklace always o him. Of course the wood that was in both ring and the beads on the necklace could be used to kill the mikaelsons and I think he knew that. But he still had the necklace. I didn't want any of the Mikaelson siblings dead for that matter- they were as close to family as I had. I also knew it was Nick's bloodline that created all of the Mystic falls vampires. So if he died then they would all die with him.
You'd think that the Mikaelson siblings would remember me but no because of Esther's spell.
My name is Hayley Marshall i'm a werewolf who is described as "gorgeous, but tough as nails and also very protective".
I'm an ex-friend of Tyler's, I am responsible for helping him break his sire bond to Klaus. He kept his real identity a secret from me. i later showed up in Mystic Falls looking for him and began to help Tyler break the sire bonds of some of Klaus' other hybrids, but it is later revealed that i had been working with Shane in an attempt to sacrifice twelve unsired hybrids to raise Silas; I am only interested in this because Shane promised me i would be reunited with her deceased parents. After this revelation, i fled town and began working with Katherine. However, Katherine sent Will to kill me when she had stopped finding me useful. Klaus saved me and we became allies, sleeping together on a drunken whim. He was interested to learn that i had a birthmark which also belonged to a particular bloodline of werewolves he had met before.
Hayley, I had picked that name because it seemed normal… I had been Katy, Leanne, Crystal, Jenny, Cara, Rose and other names I didn't even remember now. I've been 22 for around 1000 years now, I've lost count…
Trying to stick to my character I was immediately openly antagonistic towards Nick , to which he often responded in kind, though with amusement. Though he will casually threaten me during an argument, Nick has yet to make good on any of his threats against me, which i relishes pointing out. He eventually tries to make a deal with me - my protection from Katherine in exchange for information about Katherine's whereabouts and activities but I remain coy throughout our exchanges -i didn't actually need his protection I could kill Katherine in a matter of seconds but he didn't know that. But of course I would never kill Katherine- my best friend and runaway partner. The problem was she thought I was some type of doppleganger. During his interrogation of me, we eventually have sex and Nick alludes to knowing something about my family when he notices a peculiar mark on her back. We appear to have become allies, with Nick in pursuit of Katherine and I in pursuit of knowledge about my family. Later on, I am proven to be pregnant with his daughter.
I am pregnant with my husband's child from our one night stand. Though I think I wanted it and not just because I was drunk of the ass. I still love him. And the ring around m fingers is a symbol of our love. I'm in New Orleans now. Let's see what my future hear, with my husband and sistaer and brother in law, holds…
A/N- Ok so this idea just popped into my head whilst i was watching the originals. i like Hayley's character so i thought id develop her a bit but then it turned into this. review is you have any ideas for what i should do with this. This was originally supposed to be a one-shot but i think i might continue with it. The wedding vows aren't real by the way, I just mixed and matched. I don't know how they would've done it in the 10th century.
