Hey! So I had this really great idea for the Mystic Falls crew and I really hope that all you like and love this story. I want to thank my friend lauravic for helping me out with details and ideas. Also please go check out her story that I'm helping her with. She's an absolute darling and so is her story: Always and Forever a Mikealson. Here's the summary but please note this: THIS HAS EXTREME ABUSE SO THIS IS FOR MATURE AUDIENCES, HOWEVER WILL HAVE A HAPPY ENDING!

Summary: Laura Celine Bellerose comes from a lineage of Naturalists. What are these Naturalists? They are beings that can control nature to protect nature from evil. When Laura's mom dies, her dad becomes the very evil that she has to destroy so how are the Mikealsons involved? Well for one, they turn a broken girl into a powerful being that deeply loves them.

Third POV

"Kill her," the angry man said to the younger girl. She looked shocked and scared of what he was forcing her to do. She started to shake her head but he gripped her chin harshly and made her look into her eyes. There was no emotion in those haunting blue eyes that she had.

"I said to kill her," he seethed. Her eyes that was once full of emotion of fearfulness and worry became empty just like her father's.

She looked at him once more and then put her attention to the old woman who was talking on her phone with probably with Sheriff or her son. She was sitting on the ledge of the fountain so she drew on the winds to knock her into the water. She then drew on the water force to keep the poor lady submerged. The young girl could hear the lady's pleas to be helped. It pained the girl to do the opposite of what she was meant to do but if she refused her dad's commands, she would pay for that later.

"Destroy the phone," he added. She nodded and lightning struck the phone thus destroying it beyond repair. She could sense that the lady was almost dead and pushed her more into the water.

A few minutes later, she released the pressure and waited for futher commands and he said nothing. He was overjoyed of what the death of this lady meant for him. That he became mayor of Mystic Falls and no one was going to stop him. He looked at his daughter, she didn't realize that all this that he was doing was for her.

"Someone's coming. I believe that it's the son, Tyler Lockwood," she said monotonuosly. She was still staring at the dead woman fearfully.

She couldn't believe that she had to kill Carol Lockwood just for him to become mayor. She felt his hand on her shoulder and she flinched but transported them to their house.

By the time the father and daughter arrived to their homes, Tyler Lockwood sped the the scene. He saw the lifeless body of his mother and looked around. No one was around and he knew for a fact that it wasn't a vampire. He carefully picked up his mother's body, tears silently falling down his cheeks and went to walk away.

A few steps, he picked up a scent that he was somewhat familiar with but he couldn't name who it belonged to. But he didn't feel like chasing a murderer, he felt like it was Klaus but the place didn't smell like him. So he just sped away with tears running down on his cheeks and falling onto his mother's pale face.

Laura's POV

"I told you to kill her you tried to defy me!" Adam roared at me as he tightly gripped my arm and half dragged my body to the basement.

"You know that I'm not suppised to be hurting people, it's my job to protect them!" I cried out. He just gripped my arm tighter and my whole body was shaking with fear. I knew what he was going to do with me and I didn't want him to. I could feel the nature outside trying to help me out of this situation but I focused on controlling it. If it went out of hand, he would only hurt me more.

"I don't care what you have to do! You do what I say and you do not hesitate to do so! I keep telling you this yet you still haven't learned and I'm gonna make sure it sticks in your brain," he pushed her into the basement which was bare with only stone walls. In the middle of the room was two chains hanging from the ceiling and a single light bulb hanging above the chains. Beside the chains was a metal table covered with torture devices and a syringe filled with mercury.

I could already feel the pain towards me when I knew what he would do to me. I didn't want to go through that pain again but I knew that struggling would only make it worse. He grabbed my wrist and locked my wrists to the handcuffs connecting to the dandling chains. My heart was beating so fast that I was sure that it was going to explode. I was trying to hide my emotions but my eyes told him everything.

I looked at my father and only saw anger and evil in them. He grabbed my chin and roughly titled my head to the side, giving him a better angle to my neck. He then harshly stuck the syringe into my neck and emptied the mercury into my body. I instantly felt it going through my veins and weakening me and my powers. I groaned, trying to focus now and I felt my eyes dilating. He pulled the needle out of my neck and walked back to the table.

I knew what he was getting, a whip. I tried to hide the tears but they just silently dropped down my cheek.

"You know, every time this happens, you always say that you will never defy me. Yet when I told you to kill Carol, you tried to tell me no," He went in front of me and I tried to lift my head up but I was already too weak. He then grabbed my chin tightly, enough to bruise and I slowly lifted my eyes to him.

"Because...she- she is an innocent," I whispered. I could feel the Earth trying to protect me but I couldn't call on the forces to save me. "Well, let's see what you want to say about her after this," he harshly said. I tried to move my arms and legs to run but I could barely move my hands. I kept muttering 'no' but he just ignored me and stepped behind me.

My eyesight became blurry from my tears and I could think of is that my dad had the audacity of abusing his daughter. Weren't dads meant to protect his offspring? Weren't they supposed to kiss your wounds when you fell off of the swings or bike? The one to help you swim, the one who loved you?

This man here is nothing but a shell of a father that used to be here for me. He used to be the most loving father a kid could every ask for, so why does he do this to me all the time?

WHiP

I cried out in pain as he sent lash after lash. I felt my skin tearing when the whip met my skin. I cried and tried to keep it in cause he would do more if I cried. I felt my own blood dripping down my body with my shirt and bra all torn up already. I couldn't use my powers to protect myself and that frustrated me.

I counted until 25 when I did feel myself starting to lose consciousness. He wouldn't finish until he let out all of his anger out and he had anger issues. My whole body felt like it was on fire and the air conditioner was on so it was like knives hitting my back. My tears stained my cheeks as my shoulders became numb from hanging up in the air.

I couldn't feel a thing and I just wanted it to all stop...

Third POV

Adam dropped the whip to the ground, blood dripping everywhere. He knew that she lost consciousness awhile ago but he had to keep going. She needed to know who was boss and he did. He always did when he took her to the basement. He breathed in deeply and it smelled like blood and bleach. He wiped off the sweat and looked around. There was the bed in the corner and the table beside him. He couldn't have a sink to wash him hands in since he knew that she could strike him with water just like with Carol.

He looked at her small form and her back was torn into pieces. There was so many bloody gashes that he thought that he killed her but he knew that she could be killed easily. He went to the table and got out a paper towel and wiped his hand clean to the best of his abilities. He knew that she could heal herself so he just went up to her hanging body and uncuffed her. He didn't bother trying to hold her and her body just plopped to the harsh stone floor. She landed on her chest and face so he kicked her aside so she was on her back and he stared at her. She had a cute little button nose and full lips. She had blazing red hair like her mothers but she also had the blue eyes that he had.

He kept staring at her, knowing that she would be out cold for another few hours. He glanced at her again and left the basement, locking the door behind him.

The air conditioning was blasting out cold air, and you could hear nothing except for the soft breathing from the broken girl.

Hours Later:

Laura's POV

All I felt was pain, it was as if my nerves were set on fire and it was growing more and more. I tried moving my body, even try to twitch a finger but I could. I felt the mercury moving through my veins, trying to weaken me more than what I was already. I felt each lash on my bad since I was laying on the cold floor. I felt blood, my blood, soaking through my clothes. I wanted to get up but the whip lashes and the mercury in my body wouldn't allow me to move at all.

I had my eyes closed, and I tried opening them but still had no luck. I was stuck in this horror dream state. I could barely hear myself breathe.

I'm thinking to myself, why would he do this to me? He was my father after all. I want to make him feel the pain like how he's done to me but I could't hurt him at all. It wasn't fair at all with his abuses and I still had to protect him?

I went to thinking to the first day of when this horror began. It was a few days after my mother's death...

Flashback

Third POV

The little girl ran into her room. Her red hair into a messy ponytail and tears running down face. She threw herself on her bed, eyes puffy and lips trembling.

"Why?" she sobbed out. She was crying hysterically since her mom died a few days ago.

Her mom's body was found in the backyard with her throat slit and impaled in the chest. Her beautiful and lively face now pale and dead. Her blazing red hair just like her daughter's, only now covered with blood and dirty. She had found her mother's corpse and when she came back with her father, her body was gone and a tree stood place of where her mother was. She didn't know and what had happened but Adam didn't see where she was and figured that she was killed and murdered or left the place without any goodbyes. He knew she loved him equally as he did for her which was a lot so she didn't leave. He stared in horror as he didn't see her anywhere and he felt as if his heart being ripped from his chest. He felt a half of him being torn away from his soul and now a blank emptiness stayed there.

The dad was in his room, crying his heart out for his beloved. He couldn't believe that his one true love was gone without a goodbye. He needed Clarisse. He needed her as his wife and a mother for his daughter.

He drew in a shaky breath, gulped a big sip of bourbon and stared out the window and looked at the big backyard of his estate. He then noticed a huge willow tree that wasn't there before. His whole body and ind was numb, just allowing the alcohol being the only thing from making him go mad but that wasn't the case. It only made him more emotional and unstable.

He drew the rest of the bourbon and thought of when he first met his love. It was in France where they both grew up in a small rural town as children. They were the best of friends and that turned into love. They secretly got married since Clarisse's parents didn't approve of their relationship when she got pregnant. They escaped to the US and settled in Mystic Falls since it was a quiet place with nature surrounding it and it made her more powerful and connected to nature.

He knew the whole ordeal of what she and her family was. He knew that they were protectors of nature and were very powerful beings. They weren't immortals like the vampires and they didn't have magic like the witches but they do control all elements.

He thought of the day when he first kissed her, the day that he declared his love for her, they day that he became her husband, the day that they were each other's firsts. They where each other's whole world until it became bigger when she got pregnant.

Speaking of which, that annoying was literally crying up a storm. He could see storm clouds forming and hear thunder. He irritably got up, throwing his empty bottle at the wall with all of the other tossed bottles were and hastily wiped the dried off tears on his face. He stormed to his daughter's room and opened the door, almost ripping it off of the hinges.

"Shut up! You need to control yourself!" he screamed at her and he crossed her pink room and yanked on her arm. She was so tiny, only in 4th grade with her wild red hair messy out of her ponytail and her blue, innocent eyes wide with fear. He never yelled at her much less held her arms tightly. He only grew angrier, the alcohol controlling his moods and her backhanded her.

She froze from the impact, never in her entire life being hit from either of her parents. They were the most caring and gentle parents in the entire town, hell the entire WORLD. They gave her anything she wanted, treated her as a princess come to life. She was put on a pedestal, with her parents wrapped around her tiny little fingers. Not once have they ever yelled at her less have they ever raised a hand at her.

Now, her father just slapped her and a red mark was beginning to form on the scared little girl's face with more tears started to spill. He violently grabbed onto both of her arms and shook her, making her possibly giving her a whiplash. She only got more scared and felt the nature reacting to her feelings. The Earth was starting to shake a little and lightening blasted from the sky, and you could hear the chatter from the forest animals.

"Calm down!" he bellowed. He dragged her to the basement, where he kept things that weakened Naturalists. It was only for when Clarisse or Laura got out of hand and he injected the mercury in. She screamed in pain as her shot in the metal in her and her knees wobbled. It had immediate affect and he heard her repeating things such as 'why?' and 'please stop'. This only angered him more and her began to take his anger out on her, punching her in the face, ferociously grabbing her hair and banging it in the cold stone floors, kicking her. She kept screaming at her father to stop since she was only a little girl who was suffering the loss of her mother.

Now it seemed as if she had lost her father too. She may be a 9 year old but she knew that he was wasted on alcohol. He didn't seem to be thinking straight, with the alcohol clouding his judgment but that didn't matter. He kept taking his anger, his grief out on the poor girl until he began breaking her bones by stomping on her legs or twisting it. Her cries of pain just flew over his head until he heard the doorbell ring throughout the house.

He breathed deeply, her sobs wracking her whole body and blood covering herself and her frilly pink dress. "Why, daddy?" she cried out. He kneeled in front of his daughter and went to cup her face. She tried to flinch away but she was so weak from the vicious beating and the mercury that she didn't get that far away. She whimpered as her broken body was on the cold floor and he tilted her head to make her look into hid now empty eyes.

"Because you are the only one I have left," he stared at her and stood up straight and left the room, making sure to lock the basement door and leaving her to cry her heart out.

Present Time

Laura's POV

I heard the air conditioning blowing, goosebumps covering my body as I tried opening my eyes. I groaned out in pain, the whiplashes covering my entire back and I tried to move but I felt so tired. I knew that I had to get up but I couldn't. I remembered the memory that I dreamt of and felt more tears spilling. I was so WEAK and not just physically, but mentally. This nightmare of a life had damaged my entire being. I just wanted to end it all but I remember my mother telling me a story that Naturalists don't go to the Celestial Court when they die, they travel the world as a ghost that no one can see and you're lonely for eternity. If you die in other ways such as protecting nature, you join the dead Naturalists in the sky in the Celestial Court.

I once remember telling me a myth of when a Naturalist dies, they're body becomes a part of nature like I assume how her body became the willow tree and their souls going to the Celestial Court. I don't know the specifics but it's all I remembered from story time.

Just as I was about to open my eyes, I heard laughter coming from upstairs. It was my dad and his group of friends. He was a lawyer but he came from a rich family so we were the most richest family out in Mystic Falls. They were drunk and I heard laughter from drunk girls too. I didn't want to be in the same household as any of them so as I lay on the cold floor, I concentrated on transporting myself to the creek near my house. I felt the leaves surrounding me as it usually happens when I transport myself. The leaves was twirling around me in a circle and I put my best effort into it.

I felt myself moving from the torturous basement to the running creek by my house. It was about a half mile from my house so I had some privacy. I groaned in pain, as I moved from the laying position so that I was at least sitting. My whole body was on fire and I whimpered but kept it to a minimum. I knew what my blood did to vampires around, it made them lose control of their blood lust for some reason. And with this town crawling with vampires now, I had to be extra careful. I sat against the boulder and put my hand in the water.

Immediately I felt the water starting to heal my body and I felt myself becoming stronger. Water usually healed all Naturalists but it always left a pale, faded scar which I had all over my body. I left the water heal me and I felt my torn up skin begin to knit together and mend. After a few minutes, my body felt better but then felt the urge to throw up.

I leaned the other way, away from the creek and threw up the mercury that my father injected me with. After 6 years of constantly being injected with mercury before my consequences, it always felt the same to me. The heaviness of the metal running threw my veins and slowing me down. After I was done, I hesitantly wiped the remaining mercury that dripped from the corner of my mouth and I just got so emotional.

Why did he have to do this? I know, because I am only the one reminder of my mother. He tortured me since he had no one else. I felt more tears going down my face and then my whole body was wracking with tears. I hugged myself, trying to keep it all under control. I felt all of the forest animals coming to help me with my distress. I sat back correctly against the boulder and saw my familiar slithering her way to me. I smiled at my black mamba, Kimberly. She was the world's fastest and one of the most poisonous snakes in the entire world.

"Hello Kim," I said out to her as I held my hand against the floor so that she could slither her way up my arm. She circled around my arm and snuggled against my face which I too snuggled against her. I then noticed a few other animals which was two deers, a dew rabbits, an owl on a branch, a few other birds and a couple of rats. I smiled and heard Kim's voice in my head.

"Are you alright my dearest?" Whenever she talked to me, she always ended with 'my dearest' which was a lot better than 'my master'. She called me that when I first summoned her which was about a year after my mother's death. My father had then made me cut off all ties to my old friends at school which was Elena, Matt, Tyler, Bonnie, and Caroline. We were all best of friends until my father didn't allow me to hang out with any of them so I one day went to the forest after a beating and saw my new best friend Kimberly. I was only able to talk to her and not the rest of the animals but I only needed one friend. She always played with me when my father wasn't around and always listened to me.

"I'm fine now," I told her. She looked at me deep in the eyes and crawled down to rest on my lap. I closed my eyes and I focused on the magic of nature surrounding me. I felt the energy of the air, the water, the earth, and the fire all around me. It was soothing, and I began to hum.

It was a soft tune to "Can't Help Falling In Love With You" and I didn't realize that I started singing the lyrics until the end of the song. I opened my eyes and was suprised to see a large grey wolf with bright blue eyes. I stared at it, never once seeing a wolf before and I heard Kim telling me, "That is Niklaus Mikealson."

I nodded, knowing who he was already and was about to him before I heard my name being called from my dad's moron of a friend.
