A/N: This story is NOT a rip off of any certain stories. Especially Devil's Daughter. I had a similar (but not too similar) plot to the story and had this idea in my head for a long time. The reason I never published it was A) I didn't have an account then and B) I still needed to figure out how the story would be analyzed out. So enough of the brief warning, which may or may not be important... On with the show!
As for Disclaimers? Don't know what that means, but I obviously don't own the show, just my characters. But you are free to bash the characters the official CW network created! :)
Tap, tap, tap, Katherine could hear her still typing on her computer for her report paper.
Report, more like a 3rd novel in making at this rate. Katherine scoffed inside. After organizing her work station, she soon went upstairs in curiosity to see how she was doing. Once she entered the room, she saw her on her laptop nearly in a trance of words typing it on her screen, not even acknowledging her in the room. Katherine swiftly passed by and stood next to her by the desk. Her eyes widened slightly to see on the computer she was doing page 57/57.
What kind of report last for 57 pages?!
Katherine shook her head softly.
She'll never understand why this 518 year old vampire was so interested in school.
"What are you working on this time? Paris? The revolution?" Katherine wondered, seeing her type at a near speed of light.
"I'm writing about the Civil War. I'm doing both sides of the story. The Unions version compared to the Confederates. I've already finished the Union. Now, I'm starting with the Confederate." Veronica informed her, without taking as little as a glance at her. Katherine tilted her head to the side.
"You just started with the Confederate side after 57 pages?" She asked, wondering how much happened with the Union that could have lasted 57 pages if placed down. Though she didn't really care since she was busy during most of the Civil War time period. Ask Veronica and she'd tell you the same.
Veronica smirked and said, "You can leave now, Mum. I'm busy as a bee." She informed her. Katherine couldn't help but grin when she called her 'Mum' with her cute accent. The only problem with her accent is that if she were born male, she'd most likely not enjoy the tone of her voice knowing it'd sound a lot similar to a certain Original.
"Now Veronica, you be a good girl, while I'm gone. Your mother has some errands to fill." Katherine informed her daughter.
Errands as in meeting up with her descendant Isobel and plotting to get Elena sacrificed to Klaus by this week.
Veronica rolled her eyes stating, "I'm 518 years old, Mum. I don't need you telling me to behave."
"Need I remind you, Summer of June 1958?" Katherine started out. Veronica froze and lifted her hands up in defense.
"One time! And those rioters deserved it!" Veronica bashed out. "If we hadn't compelled them, you would have been sent to jail." Katherine informed her, shaking her head slightly at the memory. Katherine didn't normally lose her temper, but that day she was so heated at Veronica, she practically grounded her throughout most of the 60's. "I would have ripped the officers throat out, before that could ever happen." Veronica mumbled to herself, though she knew very well Katherine would hear her either out loud or not. It truly did shock Katherine sometimes how Veronica acted a lot like her father at some stands without even knowing it. It was just her personality.
If only she knew...
"Don't you have an errand to run, Mum?" Veronica reminded her.
Katherine soon remembered after a spilt second and soon walked off. "I'll be back by the evening." Katherine told her, before leaving the room ready to leave the house. Once she knew her mother was gone, she quickly changed document sites and continued working on her secret report.
Her personal report on the Original Vampire Family.
Katherine was over at Isobel's place, but found it deserted. She figured Isobel was out on the move. To prove her theory she dialed Isobel.
"Are we good to go?" Isobel called out through the phone.
"I'm at your house, but we have to hurry. Damon knows your lodging tricks. It will take him all of 20 minutes to find out where you're staying." Katherine told her. She had a very eventful day. Impersonated Elena, fooled Stefan, got the moonstone and now Elena was with Isobel. Everything was falling into place.
"We'll be long gone before that." Isobel informed her.
"Good. How far are you?" Katherine smirked, and wondered where they'll next meet up.
"I'm sorry, Katherine." Isobel started out.
Sorry? Sorry about what? Katherine quickly wondered to herself.
"I had to do what I was told. He wanted the moonstone and he wanted you." Isobel continued, before hanging up on her.
Katherine nearly froze in her place.
He wanted the moonstone and he wanted me? What is that suppose to mean!
"He? He who?" Katherine called out, demanding an answer.
Panic raced through her mind as she thought of the one person that wanted her and was able to beat her at her own game.
No... Katherine thought, feeling sick to her stomach.
No, it's impossible!
She eventually turned around to see a man behind her. She could sense his power and knew he was a warlock. Most likely sent by him. Katherine quickly rushed over to him, hopping to knock him out and run out leaving Mystic Falls behind before getting caught by him. But she underestimated the warlock as he used his magic against her. Having a major aneurysm, Katherine screamed out before falling unconscious to the ground. Letting the darkness consume her in.
"Jesus Christ!" Veronica sighed out as she finished her report on the Civil war.
"578 pages printed in one day? I should be paid for this." Veronica muttered to herself. She turned her head to the side to see her nightstand near her bed. On her nightstand was her alarm clock that read 9:47 P.M. Veronica frowned slightly.
Mom should have been back by now. Veronica thought to herself.
She did say she'd come back by the afternoon? Maybe something came up? Maybe she'll come back before midnight? I'm sure she's fine.
Veronica decided to shrug it off and continued her personal report on the Original's. She was always interested in the world of the supernaturals since day one. Maybe it's because she wanted to connect to them more? Maybe her love for school made her want to learn about everything, including supernatural activities? Or maybe she was drawn to the supernatural powers and abilities of other beings?
By heart, Veronica knew the names of every member of the Original family.
Mikeal was the father of the Original vampires.
Esther was the Original witch and the mother of the Original vampires.
Aaron was their first-born child, who died young during the plague.
Finn was their next child.
Elijah was born during their journey.
Niklaus was born in an affair. Oddly enough Esther had an affair with a werewolf causing her to have a child with the werewolf gene. Nobody ever knew until after she turned them into vampires. From then on he was known as the Original Hybrid. Half vampire, half werewolf.
Kol was born next, and from rumors he seemed to be a psychopath? She wasn't sure...
Rebekah, being the only Original girl in the family, was their baby sister.
Then last and possibly least was Henrik, who died in the hands of werewolves. Because of his death in order to protect her children, Esther made them all immortal. Of course it was by force and since then they've been known as the first vampire species to ever roam the earth. From them came other vampires through their bloodline.
Veronica would briefly wonder which bloodline she came from. She knew a woman named Rose turned her mother and that her mother turned her, but that was it. It just stopped there. Who turned Rose? Was it another vampire or an Original itself?
But what intrigued Veronica more was Niklaus, who nowadays goes by his nickname known as Klaus. He was suppose to be this big bad hybrid and that all supernatural beings, be it werewolves, vampires, witches, ect., should bow down to him and fear his great powers.
Veronica wondered what was so frightening about him? She didn't know what he or any of his siblings looked like, but from her research, many have said Klaus is not to be messed with. She was even surprised to have found out the reason her mother and her were travelling a lot was because of him.
Her mother, the infamous, manipulative, psychopathic, twisted mind, crafty, neurotic, she-devil known to self Miss Katerina Petrova was afraid of Klaus.
Granted, he was an Original, meaning he had over a thousand years on her, plus he's part werewolf.
But the thought of it still baffled Veronica. But the fact her mother has been on the run from this guy for over 500 years and haven't been caught yet, made Veronica almost want to congratulate her on her success.
Back to her computer she started typing in her digital journal.
Dear work journal,
After many years researching about the Original Family, there's one question I never knew and dared to ask myself until today...
What can kill an Original?
Veronica stopped typing there.
She had no idea what could kill them. She knew stakes did nothing to them, nor sunlight. She wondered if werewolf venom not effecting them was a myth, but who knows? She also knows they're strong and can heal quickly, compared to regular vampires. She also heard they can compel other vampires, which she hoped to god was just a myth and rumor on its own.
All these, but she didn't know what could kill them.
Something has to kill them. Everyone has a weakness. Werewolves have wolvesbane, Vampires have vervain, witches die from overuse of magic... What can kill an Original?!
It wasn't like she was going to kill an Original today, but she wanted to know out of pure curiosity. As a child she was always curious of everything in life. And because of that Katherine would always joke her dying one day because of it.
After all, if the cat died from it, so can she.
The darkness was lifting up revealing dimmed lights to her. Katherine was slowly gaining consciousness and eyed around where she was. Obviously, not in Isobel's place but in a different location. But where? She turned her head to the sides and slowly lifted herself up from the ground to see the warlock who attacked her earlier seemed to be performing a spell.
She saw Elena's history teacher with his eyes closed sitting unconsciously on a chair, where the warlock was performing the spell.
"Alaric?" Katherine called out, deeply confused on what the hell was happening.
Instantly, Katherine felt a pit in her stomach telling her to run.
Trusting her instincts as always, she sped out of the room to leave the apartment, but found herself stuck behind an invisible barrier.
What the hell? Katherine thought to herself and turned around to see Alaric walking up to her. Slowly. Something was off about him. She knew. She just couldn't figure out what. Once he walks up to her, his eyes soften in a cruel ironic way that only Katherine knew one person had done in her lifetime.
"Zdravei, Katerina." He started out fluently in Bulgarian, before cupping her face in his hands. Katherine's panic rose up again as she realized why she was feeling so scared around him. Nobody really knew her name was Katerina. And if they did, there was only a few people in her past that called her that.
"I have missed you." He said, smirking.
"Klaus!" Katherine nearly exclaimed, trying to hide her shock and fear from him, knowing that was the exact reaction he wanted of her.
What was she going to do?
How was she going to get out of this?
Will she even live after crossing paths again with him after all these years?
So many things, plus her fear for Klaus raced through her head at once. If she weren't a vampire or in Klaus' presence, she'd feel a major headache coming on and groan. But of all things happening, the one thought that seemed to come to her often was Veronica.
Will Veronica notice her not being back home?
Will she come looking for her?
Will she be in danger asking of her possible whereabouts?
Katherine didn't want anyone knowing of Veronica. If Veronica went out asking questions about Katherine, people may become suspicious and put two together. And the last thing she needed was for her enemies to take advantage of her daughter. She had already lost two daughters in the past. She wasn't ready to lose Veronica too.
Veronica was downstairs in the living room, tapping her fingers on the small stand table beside her reading armchair.
2:30 A.M.
It was 2:30 in the morning and her mother still hasn't returned from doing her errands. From this Veronica knew something must have went wrong. Something had happened to her mother and she had to go find her. She wasn't ready nor willingly to lose another family member.
She had to go find her.
Even if it meant for danger to come towards her.
Before Veronica could just get up and go out searching for her, she had to figure out where her mother has been going these last few days.
She knew from overhearing her phone calls that she was in an alliance with a woman named Isobel.
She knew her mother was all over this one boy during one time of every year stating it was the day she first met him.
She also knew that her mother's hair style would seem flat sometimes when she comes back from doing her errands.
Soon Veronica figured out where her mother has been going to every blue moon.
"Bloody Mystic Falls." She muttered to herself with a genius smirk, before speeding to the downstairs closet, taking her jacket out and grabbing her car keys before going towards her car outside.
Mystic Falls was where she was at.
Hell, it's barely a 2 hour drive from here! Veronica smirked at the thought, before starting the engine and pulling out.
Hopefully, she was okay and still in Mystic Falls.
As Veronica kept driving, in her mind she was imagining of how much she'd yell at her mother for leaving her worried sick about her if she found out she was okay this whole time.
