So I have no sense of direction. You would think that after being alive over 500 years, I would know that, but I am terrible at finding places. I'm also not very good at finding people because it's been nearly 100 years and I still haven't found my father. I was currently headed towards his last known location: Mystic Falls, Virginia. At first, I thought it was a weird name for a town, but then I realized that it had been named for the waterfalls than her a quire majestic look to them. They were quite amazing when you saw them up close.
I wished that it hadn't taken me three days to find the place. I could only hope that he was still here. You would also think that after all this time, I would have a speech prepared on what to say to him, but I didn't. I just hoped that he would believe that I was his daughter. Marcel told me that vampires weren't supposed to be able to reproduce, but it was the only explanation. The only way that I could become a vampire without previously drinking it would be if I had vampire blood already running through my veins.
I decided that it would be best to ask anyone if they had seen my father. I did know that not a lot of people knew him and the people that did, outside of Marcel, didn't seem to hold him in very high regard. I couldn't help but wonder what he had done to get so many people to dislike him. From what I had heard, he was the baddest of all vampires. Some people even literally called him the big, bad wolf. Nevertheless, I needed to go somewhere to find him. I decided to go to the police station (or sheriff's office as some places called it) and see if anyone there could help me. I found that the sheriff was a woman named Elizabeth Forbes.
"Can I help you?" She asked.
"I'm looking for a man named Klaus Mikaelson." I declared. "I was wondering if you've seen him."
"Why are you looking for him?" She questioned.
"That's not important." I tried to compel. "Just tell me if you've seen him."
"Vampire. I should have known." She commented. At that point, I realized that she must have been on vervain. "Klaus hasn't been here for a few months. If you're looking for people to kill, it would probably be best for you to go somewhere else."
"Damn it." I cursed. I was really getting tired of all of these dead ends. "Is there anyone here that might be able to tell me where he is right now?"
"There is one person." She declared. "He has a sister named Rebekah who is currently in town, I don't know where she is right now. She is enrolled in the school, so if you can't find her today, you should be Monday. Can you please not kill anyone in the meantime?"
"You know more people freak out when they find out I'm a vampire." I commented. I didn't feel the need to tell her about the other stuff. I had no need for magic at the moment.
"Well my daughter is a vampire, so my perception of them has changed recently." She explained.
When I got into town, I couldn't help but notice that there was some kind of festival set up. There were scores of paper lanterns hanging from the trees. I wasn't quite sure what it was. In addition, it felt like there was a weird presence in the air. It was almost spooky. It felt like there were spirits in the air. It could have just been my imagination. There was only way to find out. I would have to cast a spell.
However, before I could do that. I noticed something. It was either Katerina or another one of her doppelgangers. I wasn't sure at this point since I had heard of a woman named Katherine Pierce that fit the description of my sister. The only thing that made me doubtful was the way that people described how she acted didn't sound like the Katerina that I knew.
She was with an older man and boy. I couldn't help but notice that the boy kept looking to his right like there was someone standing beside him. I recognized there was just a chance of schizophrenia, but I decided to cast the spell to see what I previously couldn't see.
At that point, several people suddenly appeared like they were ghosts, but what interested me the most was the person who appeared next to the boy: Annabelle. I couldn't believe it. Did that mean that she was a ghost? If so, how did she die? I knew that I needed to talk to her.
At the same time, I looked at the boy. He was cute. He wasn't really my type though, simply because my current type was female. There was the possibility that I could turn him into a girl. It was easy to do and with the right spell, no one would even notice. However, the first thing that I wanted to do was go and talk to Annabelle. I walked over and began to beckon her. I hoped that she would notice me. It was possible that she wouldn't even remember me.
She looked at me and then pointed to herself to see if I could see her. I nodded. She walked over to me,
"Aleksandra, how is it that you can see me?" She asked.
"I wasn't sure if you would remember me." I told her.
"You didn't answer the question." She pointed out.
"I cast a spell to see all of the spirits that are here, which you apparently are one." I replied. "Now that you're here, I'm going to bring you back."
"You can't do that. It'll kill you." She said. That was how it normally worked. "I won't let you die for me."
"I'm a vampire." I pointed out. "I can use the magic from channeling myself to revive you."
"So, it is you then. You're the one that they talk about on the other side: the daughter of the hybrid, the only one who is vampire, werewolf, and witch." She said. "But I don't understand why you would use your power to bring me back to life when you could do so much more."
"Because you were the first person, outside of my family, to ever be nice to me." I explained. "You let me into your home when I was lost and alone and even though we weren't together long, I still feel like I owe you."
"Wow." She commented. "I never knew that I meant that much to you."
"Let's just get to work on the spell." I stated.
I took her out into the woods because it would probably be easiest to do not around other people. I grabbed onto her and closed my eyes and began to chant. I cast it, I felt myself getting weaker. I opened my eyes for a moment and saw her pass out, before I did the same.
I woke up what I assumed was a few hours later. It was dark and I saw her still unconscious beside me. I shook her awake and she opened her eyes and sat up. I couldn't help but feel really hungry.
"Why do I feel so weak?" She croaked.
"Probably because you need blood." I explained. I was a bit slow to get up myself. "Wow that took a lot out of me. You're right. Had I been mortal, that spell probably would have killed me, we need to get some blood within the next few minutes. Let me help you up."
"Thank you." She said as I helped her up to her feet. I just that I had brought a blood bag with me. Thankfully, I could still walk. We made it into town because we were seen.
"Anna." The boy who had been with her said. I still wanted to turn him into a girl, but I definitely did not have enough power to do so at the moment. "What did you do to her?"
"I brought her back to life." I said. "I can't really talk now because I need to get her some blood, so unless you're offering, you need to let me get some for her."
"You mean she's a vampire again?" He asked in surprise.
"Yes and she's in need of blood." I repeated. He then took out a knife and cut his hand open. I felt my own fangs start to grow. He put it in her mouth and she started to drink. That was when I realized that he was Annabelle's boyfriend. I could still turn him into a girl, but I wasn't going to take him from her. I pushed him off of her when it was clear that she had had enough. "So we haven't met. I'm Aleksandra Petrova."
"Jeremy Gilbert." He said as he took my hand.
"So how long have you been together?" I questioned.
"It's really complicated." Jeremy replied.
"Jeremy kind of started dating another girl after I died." Anna stated.
"So you have two girlfriends?" I asked in surprise.
"I told you it was complicated." Jeremy declared.
At that moment, the lights turned on and I saw a dead body hanging from a tree,
"What just happened?" I questioned.
"It's the other ghosts. They killed Mr. Fell." Anna stated. "We have to find Bonnie to get them to send them away."
"But then you won't the chance to see your mom." Jeremy stated. So her mom was dead too.
"Me seeing my mom is not worth more people dying." Anna pointed out. At that point, I heard someone walk up behind us. It seemed like she would get to do both.
"Okay, they're having a family moment, we need to find this Bonnie chick." I told Jeremy. I couldn't help but feel a bit dizzy.
"Are you okay?" Jeremy asked me.
"I need blood too." I admitted. "But I can't have any of yours. You've already given enough."
We walked farther into town and I was pretty much to the point where I had to hang onto him, It felt nice, but I would resist any urges that I had because he already had two girlfriends. At that point, I noticed a tall blonde girl and a shorter African-American.
"Caroline." Jeremy called to her.
"Jeremy, why do you have this random skank draped over you." Caroline asked. I took offense to that. If I wasn't so weak, I probably would have killed her…or turned her into mouse, but alas I couldn't do either of those at the moment.
"It's not what it looks like." Jeremy said. "I can explain later, but right now we need to get rid of the ghosts because they killed Mr. Fell."
"I think I can do it." The other girl replied.
"Are you sure, Bonnie?" Caroline asked.
"Yes. I know I can." Bonnie replied.
I watched as Bonnie began to cast a spell. At that point, an older woman appeared and joined her. I assumed that she was a ghost as well, because she vanished as soon as the spell was over. At that point, Anna came over to us. Bonnie and Caroline looked a little surprised by that.
"Why is Anna still here?" Bonnie asked.
"Because I'm alive." Anna says. "Bonnie, I'm sorry. I never said that to you. I can't help how I feel about Jeremy though."
"You three probably need to work this out." I replied as I stood up, It didn't last very long. "I really need some blood."
Caroline went into her car and pulled out a thermos. I smelled it and there was blood inside.
Later that night, Jeremy volunteered to let me spend the night at his place. I couldn't help but realize that in all that I had done, I forgot to look for this aunt of mine. I would have to do that in the morning. I stood outside of the house waiting for an invitation.
"What are you doing?" He asked.
"You do realize that I'm a vampire, don't you?" I asked.
"Oh, you can come in." He replied before I went into the house. It was then that I noticed someone was downstairs watching TV.
"Katerina." I remarked.
So, Aleksandra finally made her way to Mystic Falls and she came back in time to bring Anna back to life. She also wants to turn Jeremy into a girl. Will she do it? How will Elena react to her? Please don't forget to review.
