Believer

Prologue

Leaning back against her the cushion of her booth, arms crossed with her glass of whisky in her hand, she watches vampires, werewolves, and witches alike interact as if the war between their differences didn't matter. It was unsettling just as it was enlightening. She didn't know what compelled her to come to this city in the first place; not that anything could compel her anymore, not in recent years at least.

Taking a sip from her glass, she turns her attention to a tall, slightly bald, caramel skinned man. The way he carried his body screamed authority, but she could sense the darkness, the uncertainty that was engraved in his bones, in his soul. He's a hybrid…but something feels slightly off, she thinks.

She narrows her eyes and sees him glance at the picture with a young looking brunette and a slightly older looking blond woman. There was a glimpse of grief in his eyes,but it vanished as quick as it appears. Interesting.

She was glad that she sat in a corner of the bar that hid her so well, no one questioned, or gave her any unwanted attention, that way she could find out more about this city's unique situation. Her lips turned up in a small smile.

Standing up, she leaves some money for her drink and makes her way out of the Bar, the sunlight hitting her dark brown, shoulder length hair and warming her light olive complexion. Her doe eyes shine as she smiles at the festive atmosphere that seems to be a constant here. Their all so happy…but there is a darkness in this place. Yes, New Orleans would certainly prove to be interesting, maybe even more so than Mystic Falls.

Glancing up at the sky, a frown appears on her face as she notices thunder clouds creeping their way toward the city. How ironic…

A/N: Hello! Okay, so first, I'd just like everyone to know that I will be taking certain aspects from other shows to work with where I'm going with this story, but never the characters, but I am also adding my own twist to this story. I am writing without a Beta reader, so let me know when you come across something the I chopped up so I can go back and fix it. Also, I don't want to reveal everything all at once when it comes to this story, I'm going to attempt to keep some of the mystery in it, to keep the appeal, but not to an annoying point (tell me if I do).

Not all chapters will be this short, I usually aim for 2000-4000 words on a chapter in this story. I write these as new episodes come out, because the shows story works with what I've had in mind so I can tweak and play with that time line which it starts (prologue) in 4x01 of the Originals and after Vampire Diaries final.

So please enjoy this crossover! Parings will be either Elena x Elijah, or Elena x Kol. Whichever has more chemistry in this, I'll let you all decide!

So please, leave a review, follow, favorite! Seriously, please leave a review, I want to know what you think; constructive criticism, one word reviews, emoji! I'll take it, because anything is better then nothing. Thank you! :D
