Prologue

Hannah Price here.

I knew I was different at a very young age. I was faster and stronger than normal kids. I could see, hear and even smell things a normal person wouldn't be able to. My Mom would always say that I was special and one day she'd tell me why.

That day came sooner than later.

I was asleep in bed when my mom rushed into my room. i was only 12 at the time. She told me something that night that changed my life.

I was a damphyr. A hybrid in a sense and a rare one at that, half human, half vampire. It was thought for so long that vampires couldn't procreate but my father found out that certain ones can if they find the right woman. Apparently there is a certain breed of woman that can withstand a vampyric childbirth, and my mother just so happened to fit the bill.

So am I.

My father, I've never met him but on this night my mom decided to tell me who he was. Mikeal Mikealson. (Stupid Name Right) That's right my father is THE original vampire. Husband to the original witch and father to the 5 originals, well 4 of them. Most people know their story and how Klaus is also a hybrid, among other things. (Cough, Asshole, Cough)

Mikael never loved my mom.

She was having trouble getting pregnant and my father wasn't taking it so well. Let's just say he gave dads a bad name. So when Mikael contacted her about a witch and presented her with an offer she couldn't refuse, didn't want to refuse, well she didn't say no.

I won't go into details because I'm sure you know how sex works. They had no idea what the result would be but as soon as he found out she was pregnant he disappeared without a trace. Oh it get's weirder. She says she had no idea why he wanted to procreate or picked HER. I'm guessing he's the only one who really knows.

After all this she hugged me so tight that it frightened me. It was as if she was saying goodbye. I didn't know it then but that would be one of our last hug. She pulled away and said she loved me and I said it back of course. I could see tears in her eyes but when I asked her what was wrong she just said she was happy that she was able to have me, that I was the greatest thing she ever did. She left my room and returned to her own.

She spent as much time as she could teaching me everything she thought I needed to know. Being half human, I didn't need blood to survive but when I reached puberty instead of have a (*whispers while making sure the coast is clear* period) I'll have a time where I crave blood once a month. Ain't that a bitch. Abilities started to develop such as something I call blinking. I could move fast, even for vampires. I couldn't compel but that's cool. I heal slower than vamps but also found out that human bloods speed it up but not significantly. I also found out that I sometimes crave vamp blood. Depending on the vamp I feed from I can get faster, stronger and even heal faster. Not to mention it is so much more delicious than human. (Shh don't tell anyone I said that.)

A few months passed and I came home from school one day to find my mom crying on her bed. I asked what was wrong and she told me she was pregnant. I assumed they were happy tears and hugged her tight while promising to help out with my lil brother and sister. I was wondering who the father could be since dear old dad had kicked the bucket a few month's before she told me about Mikael.

Her pregnancy went by without any difficulties and soon mom brought home my little sister, Hayden. I was so happy. We both were.

Our happiness didn't last long. In the middle of the night I was awaken by screaming. I jumped out of bed and nearly fell to the ground when an overwhelming scent of blood hit my nose, there was lots of it.

I 'blinked' to Hayden's room and she wasn't there. The screaming suddenly stopped. I hurry downstairs.

Blood. Everywhere blood. I looked around and gagged as I took in the sight. Nothing had or ever would have prepared me for the image I saw next. My mother lying in a pool of her own blood. My legs buckle and I would have dropped to my knees but a voice stopped me.

I snapped my head in HIS direction with fire in my eyes. He smirks. So do I.

And then everything went black.

6 Months Later...

I woke up being shaken by a police officer. Covered in blood, scratches and various bite marks.

They have no idea what to make of it.

Days and nights fade into one big void. I barely remember the questions. The accusations.

In the end it was summed up to a home invasion gone incredibly wrong. Hayden's disappearance, kidnapping or something much worse.

Being only 16, I was labeled as a ward of the state but luckily a family friend took me in and their I met Iris, a young witch.

Over the next 12 years Iris and I found out not only were werewolves after me for what I did to HIM but for what they think I did to Hayden. To be honest I had given up looking for her. She was better off without the mess I have to deal with.

I would never have guessed she would show up on my doorstep right at the time a mysterious new danger also decides to make itself known.

Those damn family ties. Seems like you can never escape them.
