Chapter Six: Truth
DICLAIMER: I do not own Harry Potter or Vampire diaries!
SHOUTOUTS: C'mon! Only about twenty reviews to go! We can do it!
IMPORTANT Note: This story takes place right after Esther was stopped from killing the Originals at the ball. Finn is still dead, and therefore so is Sage and those of Finn's bloodline. It's maybe a week after and Kol DID NOT flee Mystic Falls. So, if you are wondering, Klaus isn't a Hybrid. Yet. Ok, just thought I would clear that up!
"So..." Elena began, "Are you going to school still?"
June prided herself on being kind, but she wasn't exactly known for her patients. This girl had been quizzing her for the past hour she had been here and June was this close to snapping Elena's neck. Vampire or not. She had her suspicions that the blonde one, Caroline, and the two brothers, Damon and Stefan, were vampires. Then again, they could be human. She was new to this. However...
"How long are you staying?" Elena pressed, interrupting June's train of thought
June raised a delicate eyebrow, "As long as I want. The last time I checked, which would have been when I purchased a plane ticket, I'm in America."
Elena seemed flustered, "I'm just trying to be friendly-!"
That was it.
"No!" June exploded, "You've been trying to get me to play fifty questions since I got here!"
Bonnie frowned, "How about we try and be friendly?"
June glared, "How can I be friendly with her interrogating me?"
As if the vase of flowers next to where the group either sat or stood agreed with her, it exploded. Damon and Stefan blurred to grab Elena and move her out of the explosion of glass, while Caroline grabbed Bonnie and did the same. June smirked in triumph, she was right! Maybe she was getting the hang of this.
"What are you?" Damon glared
Smiling sweetly, June answered, "Take a guess."
Everyone was silent before Bonnie stepped out from behind Caroline, "You're a witch. A powerful one at that."
"You don't say?" June spoke, her voice laced with sarcasm
"She reminds me of someone..." Damon muttered, glaring
"Then what are you doing here?" Elena demanded from behind her vampire bodyguards
"You really think your in the position to be demanding answers?" June sneered
"Well-" Elena began
"I've been here for nearly an hour and I can already tell that you're a whiny brat that always gets what she wants!" June shouted
Elena reminded June far too much of Marietta Edgecombe, the idiotic girl who betrayed Dumbledore's Army in their fifth year at Hogwarts. Even before that, June had never liked Marietta. She had this delicate air around her and seemed to be like a porcelain doll, perfect and with no imperfections. Of course, June had grudgingly accepted that she was kind for comforting Cho, but that was all forgotten when Marietta betrayed them all. Now, to June, all she was is an unforgivable traitor. So maybe she was miss judging Elena, but until the girl proved otherwise, she wasn't about to trust someone like she had Marietta, only to be stabbed in the back.
"You don't know anything about Elena-" Caroline started, angry
"You're right! I don't know anything about her, nor do I want to!"
"She's had a hard life! She's lost a lot of people" The blonde vampire continued to defend her friend
June's eyes went cold, "Then why are you still depending on others rather than yourself?"
"You have no right-" Elena began shrilly
"I wish I could say this has been a pleasure, but it hasn't."
Without another word she grabbed her bag and left the house, walking out into the cold. June was honestly furious about this whole thing. She had totally screwed up with making friends, but the doppelgänger, as Caroline had called her, made June so mad. After going through a war and being orphaned at an early age, then finding out the man she believed was her father wasn't her father...
You could say June was becoming cynical.
Running at vampire speed, as June didn't want the Salvatore's or Caroline catching her, June was suddenly thrown into a brick wall. She cracked her head against it and pain short through her.
"Well, what have we here? A baby vamp?" She heard the mocking voice with a slight English accent
Climbing to her feet, June glared at the man in front of her when she saw she had left a slight imprint in the wall. He had dark eyes and brunette hair, his mouth curved up in a wicked smile. June took a step back, she knew this guy was vampire. If not for him talking about how she was recently turned, she would still be able to tell. He had a powerful air around him. It was terrifying, but exciting at the same time. Unlike when she crashed into Bonnie, adrenaline pumped in her veins. There might be a reason the sorting hat wanted her to be a Slytherin, but there was also a reason she was put into Gryffindor.
"I don't believe we've met, darling, but I'm Kol Mikaelson."
She felt feint, really. This man could be her cousin or her uncle, this man could share her blood. Eyes widening, June was sure her face was pale with fright. Not fright at the man in front of her, no, but fright at the though of meeting her father, or anyone related to her father, so soon. The man, Kol, saw her fear and smirked.
"So, even baby vamps know my family name?" He asked curiously
Gulping, June played along, "It is rather infamous. Besides that, how do you know I'm a new vampire?"
Shaking his head, he answered, "Whenever you saw a human on the street, you would go another direction. Now, what are you doing out on the streets?"
"What, trying to be a gentleman after throwing me into a wall?" June scoffed, rolling her eyes
If she was going to be a vampire, she was going to be a great vampire. Maybe not all that powerful, but she could at least attempt to rock what she was; a vampire and a witch. She refused to be weak, the thought that she would have to live in fear repulsed her the same way the thought of depending on someone did. After living through her own hell when Voldemort came back and basically being beaten down, she would rise up. She would not give into sadness, would not give into depression as so many others had after the war was over. She wasn't weak. She was strong.
June would prove it to every single person that had ever doubted her.
"So, are you going to hold a grudge about that?"
"Maybe." June said, raising an eyebrow
All of a sudden, she was pushed up against the same brick wall Kol had thrown her into. He was glaring at her in such a menacing way it sent chills down her spine, but she didn't show this.
"What are you doing here?" His hand tightened around her throat
"I don't know-" June tried to shove him away
"You're different. I have better smell than almost all other vampires because I'm an Original. You smell like a werewolf, but you're a vampire. Tell me, how is that?"
June chocked out her answer, "Yeah, well you are nice one minute and shoving me into a wall the next. Tell me, how is that?"
Kol snarled and pressed her farther into the wall. June could feel her neck beginning to crack and knew if it snapped, she would be unconscious for a while as she figured it wouldn't kill her. However, her being unconscious would give Kol a chance to kill her. She felt the adrenaline return as her panic set in. June felt something taking over and, though she didn't know it, her eyes glowed a ominous yellow-gold as her teeth grew into ones that resembled a wolfs. Kol dropped her to the ground in shock, but just as soon as she hit the ground she was back up.
Family or not, June was determined not to die here. Using Kol's surprise as leverage, she easily picked him up and threw him. However, the youngest Mikaelson brother wasn't an Original for nothing. He got up as fast as June had and stared at her, not moving but obviously ready to attack.
"How...you're a Hybrid. Nik is the only Hybrid...It's not possible!" Kol muttered, though June could easily hear him
"Well, the fact that I'm his daughter might make it possible." The green eyed girl snapped, the words falling out of her mouth before she could stop them. At Kol's wide eyed stare, June was beginning to curse her impulsiveness. When she found out who she got that from in this family, as she knew it couldn't be James Potter now, she was going to strangle them.
Thank you so much to those that reviewed! You guys are awesome!
Question of the Chapter: Who should be paired with June? What should June's weakness be? What should Klaus' reaction to his daughter be? What should the Mikaelson's as a whole reaction be when they find out about June?
So, June's a little bit bitter. Understandable as 3/4 of the wizarding world turned their backs on her, only to welcome her with open arms after she saved them. That's obviously going to drive her to prove that she's worthy. Also, she's a bit hesitant about trusting people after she though she could trust Marietta and Marietta spilled the beans to Umbridge. Though she might inherit Klaus's untrustworthiness XD
We also she a bit of sassy or snarky side and more powerful than a non-original Hybrid because she's a witch AND because of the fact that June wasn't just turned by Klaus, but she's his daughter. Therefore she has no Sire Bond towards him for breaking her werewolf curse as she never had one to begin with. She only kept her magic because her mother was a wand-user instead of a witch like Bonnie. Her magic was just heightened.
Don't worry though, she'll have a big weakness besides the usual ;)
Question of the Chapter: How should June's personality change? Should she be a mix of Elijah and Klaus, all noble a kind but totally sassy and violent if you piss her off? OR should she be like Elena, a little lost at being a vampire? Or maybe a little mix of Katherine, Rebekah, Elijah, and Elena? You know all noble and a little lost, but still loyal to hey family and a total BAMF? Or do you have any other suggestions?
