Author's Note

I decided I would post chapter 2 as well! Because I just love writing this fanfiction and I have so many ideas for it! :)

So again I say would everyone mind reviewing? Even just to tell me what you like, dislike etc..

Constructive criticism is welcome! It helps with my writing and just generally makes the fanfics better for you guys.

Also questions are also welcome! I love questions, I'll try to answer as many as I can in my author notes.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own the Vampire Diaries or The Originals. The only thing I own is my OC [Original Character] Paget.

The New World - Middle Ages - ca. 1010

"Paget! They're going to catch me!" Rebekah yells across the open grasslands and then she stops a second and takes the time to sign what she is saying.

Paget is sitting on a chair outside their cabin, she then sprints towards her and takes her hand, continuing to run from her pursuers. They run into the woods and Paget yanks on Rebekah's hand and pulls her towards a tree.

"Let's hide here." Paget signs.

Paget is 10 years old, with long brown hair and blue eyes. Her figure was small in height but not exactly skinny weight-wise. Paget considered herself to be rather plump and slightly over-weight this was usually because her siblings would baby her and bring her extra bits for supper. She was also profoundly deaf. They discovered this at the young age of just a few months and then noticed it more and more when Kol was starting to repond to different stimuli and so was she except when it came to sound. Her siblings understood, they all sat up for weeks making up a language just for her and her siblings to use to communicate. It was simple at first but over the years it got more and more complex and now they use it the same as they do speech.

"Paget! I think they're coming" Rebekah signs and then giggles

Paget places a finger upon Rebekah's lips before signing

"Shh, little sister. Here's what we'll do. We'll catch them by surprise and scare them, alright?"

Rebekah nods and stares straight ahead with a determined look on her face.

Paget takes a deep breath and signs to Rebekah "Okay. One, two, three!"

Rebekah and Paget both jump out from behind the tree.

They find themselves to be alone.

"Where'd they go?" Rebekah mouths to Paget, clearly frustrated.

"I don't-" Paget started to sign but Kol places a hand on her shoulder and she suddenly jumps with fright and then turns around to see two of her brother's laughing at her.

"You should have seen your face, Paget!" Kol signs rather clumsy, the laughter overwhelming him.

"He got you good, Paget!" Finn signs, chuckling along with Kol.

"Well, that's not a very nice thing to do to a lady, is it?" Paget signs in return, turning her back to them pretending to be annoyed with them.

Kol places his hand on Paget's shoulder again and turns Paget around so she could see his hands.

"Oh come on. It was just a joke. Did little Paget get scared?" Kol signs before making a crying motion with his hands near his eyes.

He was taunting Paget.

"Kol, I will hurt you." Paget signs

"Well have at it then." Kol signs back before opening his arms in a hugging fashion

"Ugh. Brothers. Come on Rebekah." Paget signs to Rebekah and then stomps her feet and turns, ready to exit the forest. Rebekah tugs on her hand and then signs.

"But, I don't want to. Kol said I could go to the market with him!" Rebekah signs then squeals excitedly.

Paget turns back to Kol and signs

"Kol, why would you say such a thing? You know mother would never let you. After all do you remember last time?"

Kol groans. He did remember last time.

Paget continues

"You know? When you almost lost her?" Paget had him there. Paget took extra care to know where Rebekah and Henrik were at all times however Kol did not. He preferred to take a more 'relaxed' approach as he called it.

Kol looks at the ground and then looks back up at Paget, defeated.

He signs "Yes, yes. Alright then, run along little sisters. You really must attend to your chores." Kol smirks at Paget.

Paget throws a nasty look back at him before grabbing Rebekah's hand and making her way out of the woods. Paget really did hate that he was the older one.

Author's ending quick note.

I just realised it's a bit short. I will make the next one so much longer as this is all still backstory and establishing the relationships and of course having good 'ol sibling bonding and fighting! :)
