Hello, everyone ! I am back with writing another fanfiction and I really hope I won't stop writing this one out of boredom. xD My story is not based on any TV show/movie/book, meaning that the name of the characters and the storyline belong to me. But, I have used a few facts from supernatural TV shows such as 'The Vampire Diaries', 'Charmed' etc. I hope you all like it! Reviews would be lovely!
Faceclaims:
Esther McGrath- Lana Parrilla.
Danielle Butler-Nina Dobrev.
Josh Matthews- Ryan Guzman.
" Historical facts have shown us that in ancient years, long before the Balkan wars, borders did not exist. Of course, people used to mark their own territory and call it 'Greece' or 'Serbia' or 'Bulgaria' but for instance, if a great amount of Serbian people lived in a particular place in Bulgaria they would either call themselves 'Bulgarians' or they would call the place they would live 'Serbia' as well. " S.N.
1000 BC.
It was late at night. She could not quite tell what time it was. It was dark outside. The streets were empty. The only sound a person could hear was the sound of the birds mating. She could not hear footsteps, everyone was asleep including the guard outside her cell. The Slovakian Danielle Butler exhaled heavily. They should have been there by that time; her siblings: The Greek Esther McGrath and the Serbian Josh Matthews. Even though they were not blood related, the three people shared a special bond; their witchcraft. They were all witches. The Original witches. Selected from three different Balkanik countries, some 300 hundred years ago, the Originals were the only witches on earth who were given the right to punish the guilty when the rest of their kind's authority was only the protection of the innocent. They were immortal, ageless. No one could kill them, no one could put an end to their work, no one could ever stop them from saving the world, from making it a better place.
Each one of them had two special, magical gifts.
Esther, had the gift of the strong force. It would only take a move of her finger to send her target directly across the room. Her second gift, came from channeling power from the wood burning in her fireplace. She could just think of it, move her fingers, point with her eyes and the object or the individual she was focusing on was on fire. [ Pyrokinesis. ]
Josh, owned the most desired power of them all. The ability to predict the future, to actually see it and some times, prevend it from happening. Some considered his gift as a curse while others appreciated its value to the highest point. But just like Esther, he had another power as well. The power of mastering the wind or even create it. It was a defensive power. He only had to raise his palm against his enemy and a wave of strong wind would protect him. [ Aerokinesis. ]
Danielle could freeze time. Not for long period of time such as years but she had the ability to cease time for some good fifteen minutes. Which were enough for her survival. And their, when they were working together. The day Esther received the gift of fire starting from channeling power from the burning wood, Danielle did the same thing. She channeled power from the rain water resulting into receiving the power of mastering the water in the exact way Josh could. [ Hydrokinesis. ]
Were the three of them immortal? Yes. But just like every living being on this planet has a weakness so did the three witches. There was a way for them to be killed, a way the majority of people knew about: By using their second gift against them. That's why they had to be careful in order not to be exposed. Unfortunately, though, the Slovakian woman was caught protecting a family from her village from a literal demon. The following day her execution was going to take place in the town's main square by using holly water received from the Gods to kill her. That was the reason why Esther and Josh has to be quick. They had to break her free, even for a night, even for an hour so they could fulill their destiny. So they could create a legacy to pass on to a different generation, when the world would need protectors the most.
Josh and Esther were on their way. The two of them were riding their horses as fast as they could trying to make it to Slovakia within a few hours. The ritual ought to be done before sun rise. Before they were all dead because if one died, then all of them did.
With a little bit of magical assist, they managed to make it in time. They left the horses in the forest, close to the river so they could drink and relax while the two siblings continued on their feet, wondering throughout the forest.
" We won't make it. " Josh muttered, as he moved a few stray plants out of their way.
" What are you talking about? Of course we will. We have to. " Esther who was right behind him replied in a stronger tone of voice.
Josh stopped walking. He slowly turned around to face his brunette sister.
" Esther. We won't. "
The brunette woman frowned to herself, shaking her head.
" What did you see? " she demanded an answer in a calm tone of voice.
Josh did not reply. Instead, he stared at the ground.
Esther gently cupped his face, asking him to look at her.
" What did you see ? " she whispered.
The young man slowly lifted his head, his eyes meeting hers.
" Death. " he replied.
At the sound of those words the woman's heart broke into pieces. Esther was always the toughest one, the heartless one. The turth was, though, that she was afraid of showing any kind of emotion while deep inside of her, she had plenty.
" We will die. " she replied in a cold tone of voice. " But not before we pass out gifts on. "
She let go of him and continued walking while he followed her. She was right. They had lived for almost 346 years. It was time for them to end. Death was a part of life. Their gifts had to be passed on so they could earn a place next to Gods.
It only took them an hour and a few minutes to reach the tower where they were keeping Danielle. Soon afterwards, they were inside.
The guards on the front gate were easy to handle. They were only two of them and because they needed to keep it quiet and lay low, they both decided to snap their necks. Not burn them, not beat them. But kill them.
Wondering through the narrow, stone-built halls, Josh was the first to reach Danielle's cell.
The Slovakian woman jumped on her feet the moment she realized that they were there.
" You made it. " she exclaimed with an obvious surprised look on her face.
All Josh did was give her a soft smile before he walked backwards.
It seemed as in he had left.
The Slovakian woman took a deep breath swallowing her tears back in. She was seeing stuff. Maybe that's what death felt like. Maybe you could see the people who wanted to see within your last hours of life.
She was shaken out of her thoughts when the door was crushed and a loud noise filled the room.
Her eyes widened in pure fear. Danielle was never scared. She was a sleeping lion, a warrior but with her powers stripped... She couldn't defend herself. Only her siblings could give them back to her.
" That's what happens when air and fire collide. " Esther walked into the cell with a wide grin on her face. She was always the one who tried to make a serious yet funny joke in situations like that one.
Danielle did not say a thing. She just spread her arms and hugged both of those.
" Thank you. " she whispered against their necks.
Josh kissed her cheek softly whilst Esther rubbed her back tenderly.
" Come on. We don't have much time. " Esther whispered and the three of them begun running through the halls, trying to get as far as possible and into the forest.
