A/N Hey Guys! This is my first fanfiction so please, be gentle. I love the Vampire Diaries, especially the original family! This idea has been in my head for a while so I thought, why not? Kol has always been kind of disregarded by the rest of his family, so I decided to make Juliana especially close to him. As I said before, this is the first fanfiction I have ever written so any constructive criticism is much appreciated.
I do not own the Vampire Diaries. I only own my OC.
Chapter 1
New York, 1964
Yes, Juliana thought as she looked at herself in the mirror. Perfect. She was wearing a pale blue dress with red and beige roses scattered across that reached her knees. It had a v-neckline and no sleeves. Adding to that, she was wearing a white pearl necklace. Her long blonde hair was styled in waves appropriate for this time.
She rather liked this decade so far. The humans were finally fighting for something other than power and money. She liked one human especially: Martin Luther King. Well, she had never met him but she liked his idea of equality. In her eyes all humans deserved to be treated the same. Not that she cared much for human life these days, but still. She had always found it idiotic and ridiculous to treat someone differently just because of their gender or the color of their skin. If she treated someone differently or generally didn't like them it was because of their personality and their actions.
That being said she grabbed her purse and went outside her apartment. She had been in New York for a few months now, she would probably move soon. She didn't like staying in one place for too long. It made her feel restricted and she hated feeling restricted. So instead she kept moving and travelling, enjoying her freedom to the fullest.
Well, almost to the fullest Juliana thought sadly. The only thing that would make her life perfect would be if her brother Kol was with her like he had always been.
But sadly that wasn't possible, seeing as her other brother Niklaus had daggered him and until that dagger was pulled out, she would not see him again.
Oh, how she missed him. She missed all of her siblings. Even though they sometimes had their differences. But seeing them was not possible at the moment. They were all, save for Elijah and Niklaus, lying daggered in a box.
Knowing she would see them again was the only thing that made missing them bearable. So she hung onto that thought just like she always did.
Enough sulking. Now was not the time for such dark thoughts. She was here to have a little fun. And so she did. She was walking down the street looking for a suitable victim when a group that protested for equality caught her eye. She smiled as she watched them. That smile quickly faded when she saw a few men angrily insulting the group and laughing at them.
How dare they? Ignorant pigs.
She had no tolerance for such people. They always reminded her of the people that had looked down at her when she was still a human. Even though she had been the daughter of Mikael, a well-respected and partly feared member of the village, she had still been a women and therefore less worth in some people's eyes.
Of course she didn't like it. But when she tried to voice those opinions to her parents, Mikael had given her a proper beating, showing her why exactly women were worth less than men.
When her mother had taken care of her wounds after that and she had looked for comfort, the only thing her mother had said was that she mustn't speak of such things again in front of her father. And so she didn't.
That didn't mean she changed her opinion. When she had finally come of age to practice the powers she had inherited from her mother, she had been incredibly happy. She loved the feeling of power it gave her. She no longer had to keep her head down, because of who she was, or at least not as much.
None of her siblings seemed interested in practicing witchcraft except for Kol. When they were practicing together, they grew even closer than before.
She and Kol had always shared a special bond. Ever since she was born he had always been there for her, and she for him. They could make each other smile even in their darkest hours and always did all sorts of mischief together. He was the one who could make her feel happy even when the rest of the world seemed to be against her.
When she had turned into a vampire, her magic was gone. At first she was devastated. Not only had she lost her connection with nature, but she was once again powerless against others. Or so she had thought.
That devastation had quickly vanished when she discovered her new powers. She could live forever without ever getting sick. She was stronger and faster than anyone else, except for her siblings of course.
She had thriven in the power she had over other people. She still did.
So when she now saw these people insulting the group that fought for equality, she was reminded of her time as a human.
That was the only thing she didn't like about this decade. She was reminded again and again about how powerless she had felt. But she wasn't powerless now.
Juliana smirked deviously, her eyes glinted with danger. She had found her victims.
As she made her way over to the group she thought of what she would do to these men and her smirk widened.
When she reached the group she washed the smirk of her face and replaced it with an innocent smile.
The men turned their attention to her and darted their eyes over her body. She smirked inwardly. She knew she was attractive and the expected reaction she got from them only fed her ego.
"Gentlemen." She spoke with a soft voice, even though these people were anything but gentlemen.
"Do not waste your time on those fools. It's not worth it. Let them spend their energy protesting for silly things. Anybody with a healthy mind can see the error in their ways." she spoke to them.
"Of course, miss. You are right. These people are not worth our time." one of the men replied, falling for her trap.
"I'm new in this city. Would you mind showing me around a bit? I heard this is a wonderful place." she led them further on.
"Sure. A beautiful woman like yourself should not be alone." he glanced towards his friends. She had to hold in a scoff. As if she was the one in danger. If anyone should be afraid right now it should him and his friends. But instead she merely smiled at him.
"Lead the way, gentlemen." she only replied.
Already having forgotten about the protest group the men led her through the city. They didn't get very far however, when she turned right and walked into an alley. The men followed her confused.
"What are you doing…?" the same man from before spoke up, but before he could finish his sentence Juliana lunged for his throat. She drained him in seconds and before any of the other men could flee she killed them too.
When she was satisfied, she didn't bother doing anything with the bodies. This was a big city. Surely many other vampires were here and this was seen often. And even if that wasn't the case, she couldn't find it in herself to care. After all, she was an Original Vampire. What harm could they do to her?
So she merely smiled, although a bit upset that it had been so easy. Some people really were predictable.
The happy mood she was in disappeared however, at the sight that greeted her at her apartment.
Sitting in one of her armchairs in the living room was her brother.
"Nik." she stated, already knowing what was coming.
"Juliana." he simply said. "It seems you are a bit out of control."
"What are you talking about?" Juliana asked confused and a little offended.
"You've gotten sloppy. In recent years you've mostly chosen victims from the same schema. I allowed you to be on your own the last few years, because I know how much your 'freedom' means to you. That was extremely generous of me. But I will no longer allow this. Not when Mikael can just as easily see that it is you who killed these people as I can."
"You allowed me to be on my own?! I thought after a thousand years you would get it, Klaus. I am my own person! The only one who can allow me anything is myself! I will not be controlled by you or anyone else!" she screamed, rage taking over her. How dare he?
"The humans have gotten faster with spreading news. You are lucky I was keeping an eye on you, in case something like this would happen. That way I found you before father did. But this will end now! I will not allow Mikael to find us, because of your petty obsession." Nik had gotten out of the armchair and was now angrily yelling at her. "You will come with me. I gave you a few years and that has to be enough."
"No, I will not. You cannot control me Niklaus."
"Then you leave me no other choice." he said taking a dagger out of his jacket.
"NO! No, don't do this to me Nik!" Juliana pleaded, fear showing in her blue eyes.
"I am doing this for you own good, Juli. You know what Mikael will do once he finds us." her brother looked at her as he stepped closer. Juliana tried to run but before she could make it out the door he was already there. Klaus pushed her against the wall so she couldn't try to run again and held the tip of the dagger just above her heart.
"You bastard! I will get my revenge, I swear to you! One day you will be at my control and then you will get to know what it feels like." she snarled as the dagger pierced her heart.
A/N So that was the first chapter. I just wanted to show you what kind of person Juliana is and a little of her backstory. You also found out how she was daggered and hopefully understand why. It will hopefully be a little clearer in the following chapters when you find out more about her.
The next chapter will set place in 3x13 where all of the Originals are undaggered. I think for the most part I'll go along with the main plot, with things like Esther, evil Alaric and such.
I already finished the second chapter and am still debating whether I should upload it or not…
Anyway I hoped you liked it. Please leave a review, so I can know what you liked and what you didn't like so I can hopefully improve it. Oh and sorry for any grammar/spelling mistakes.
Thank you for reading, bye :)
