"No, I'm not Katherine." The girl replied. So Katerina was this Katherine that everyone talked about? "My name is Elena Gilbert."
At that point, I went with my preferred method of killing the clones. I watched as she began to choke.
"What are you doing?" Jeremy asked.
"She's not my sister, so she must die." I declared.
"Katherine's your sister?" Annabelle questioned.
"Her name is Katerina." I corrected. The doppelganger was starting to lose color. However, before I could watch her die, Anna broke my neck and I fell to the floor. I couldn't help but be a bit surprised by that.
When I awoke, I was on a bed. Jeremy and Annabelle were in the room with me.
"What did you do?" I asked accusingly.
"Why did you try to kill my sister?" Jeremy questioned. I assumed that she wasn't dead by the words that he had used.
"I've killing all of my sister's doppelgangers for as long as I can remember." I stated.
"What reason do you have to do that?" He challenged. "None of them can help the fact they share an appearance with her and none of them don't deserved to die simply for how they look."
"It makes me feel better." I admitted. "They're all that I've seen since my sister was exiled."
"Trust me. You do not want to see your sister." Annabelle replied. "She's caused us nothing but trouble since we've known her. My mother's death and my own death were because of her."
"That can't be true." I replied as I started to cry. "There is no way that Katerina is this monster that you describe her as. She can't be."
"You haven't seen her in over five hundred years." Jeremy pointed out. "People change. You are going to be better off not knowing her. Why did you come to Mystic Falls? Was it to find her?"
"No, I came to find my father." I answered. The two of them looked at each with nervous looks on their faces.
"I have a feeling that I probably won't like this answer, but who's your father?" Annabelle asked.
"His name is Niklaus Mikaelson." I replied.
"Klaus is your father?" He questioned in surprise.
"That's what everyone tells me." I stated. "I've never met him before."
"I thought you said that vampires can't have kids." Jeremy replied. Those two were definitely a couple. It kind of made me feel bad for wanting him.
"Well I thought vampires couldn't do magic either, so maybe there's some kind of exception to the rule." Annabelle responded.
"Do you know where my father is?" I asked them.
"He was in town a few days ago but he left the same night." Jeremy declared. "We don't know where he is now."
"Can you get your sister back in here?" I questioned. "I guess if I'm not going to kill her, I should apologize to her. Also do you know if there would be a problem with me going out into the woods and turning into a wolf?"
"So you're a vampire, witch, and werewolf?" Jeremy asked.
"Well Klaus is a former witch that was born from a werewolf bloodline." Annabelle explained. "If she has his blood, she would be all three."
"What do you call that? A tribid?" Jeremy responded. "Wait, how do you know that Klaus is a witch?"
"Because she's not the only one that is the child of an original." Annabelle replied. This seemed like something out of one of those soap operas that I loved, despite that the fact that no one sang in them. "Of course, he was human when he and my mom got together. My father's name is Kol Mikaelson. The reason that I knew where to find Mikael is because he's my grandfather, and Aleksandra is apparently my cousin."
"This is really weird." Jeremy commented.
Since I needed a place to sleep, I stayed over with them.
I thought about all of the years that I spent learning magic. I had studied under several different witches. Though my knowledge was vast, I had only killed two witches to gain access to their grimoires. I could use magic to change the human body, but I didn't like to turn people into objects. I had once turned a person into a statue, but felt guilty and turned her back after a few months. If someone really pissed me off, I might turn them into a raccoon, but I tried to avoid that as well. I mainly stuck to altering people's appearances. I was still leaning towards turning Jeremy into a girl mainly because I was curious on what he would look like, but since I was in a small town, I would need a more complex spell, which would take a little bit of time to find.
In the morning, I followed Elena, Jeremy and Annabelle to this guy Alaric's apartment. Apparently he still owned an apartment that he wasn't living in. He was Elena and Jeremy's guardian. To my knowledge, she used to date their aunt before she was killed by my father as part of some sort of ritual to unlock his hybrid side. I wished that they could just give me a book with everything that had happened because it would be easier to catch up on it all.
When we got there, there was another guy with long brown hair.
"Okay, so Anna is living again, but who is the other chick?" He asked.
"Damon, this is Aleksandra." Elena explained. "She's apparently Katherine's sister, as well as Klaus's daughter."
"You know that makes zero sense, don't you?" Damon asked.
"Does anything in this town make sense?" Jeremy questioned. Everyone just nodded in agreement.
From there, Damon and Elena started to spar. I wasn't quite sure of the reason, but decided to just watch.
"We need to find out more about the Originals." Damon declared. "The Ghost of Christmas Past Mason Lockwood said that the wall would tell us more about them."
"I know a lot about them." Annabelle commented. "My dad told me about it."
"Why are we just hearing that your dad is a previously unseen Original?" Damon questioned.
"Because you didn't ask." She countered. "I suppose it would be easiest for me to start from the beginning. So, let's see. My grandparents lived in Europe. They had two children while they lived there before their oldest came down with the plague and died. That was when they headed to the New World because it was a place where they could raise their growing family. After they arrived, they had five more children, including Elijah, Klaus, my father, and Rebekah. And when I say they moved here, I mean it literally as in what would become Mystic Falls."
"But this part of the world hadn't even been discovered yet." Elena replied.
"It was a town of werewolves and witches. They kept it a secret from the rest of the world." Annabelle explained.
"Well, I need to go see Stefan. Fill me in the rest of this later." Damon declared before he headed out the door.
She couldn't help but look annoyed, but didn't resume talking until after he left.
"Now where was I?" She asked. "Okay, so everyone got along. My mother lived here as one of the only humans. They were going to be married before the big event happened."
"What was the big event?" I asked.
"Most people hid underground when the werewolves transformed." She explained. "However one night, Klaus and my uncle Henrik snuck out to watch them transform and Henrik died. That was the end of the peace. From there, my grandparents asked their witch friend to help them protect their children by making them better than the werewolves. When she refused, it was in the hands of my grandmother, who cast the spell on her husband Mikael and each of her remaining children. Mikael killed each of them before he killed himself. This was before my mother even knew that she was pregnant."
"Does this mean that you're a witch too?" Elena asked her.
"No, before I met Aleksandra, I knew that turning into a vampire eliminated the access to magic. I was born with the powers, but I didn't even learn how to use them before I was turned." Annabelle replied. "But we're not here to talk about my upbringing, we are here to talk about how vampires were created."
"Okay, so how did that happen?" Alaric questioned.
"Esther called up the sun for life and the ancient white tree for immortality. But the transformation had side effects. The sun became an enemy and weakened them. The flowers that grew at the base of the tree also burned and prevented compulsion, and the tree itself became the only thing that could kill them, so they destroyed it. However, the greatest side effect was the blood lust. Once Klaus first killed a person, he unlocked his werewolf side, revealing that he was not Mikael's son. If I had to guess, it's because of his werewolf side that he was able to breed, but he may not even know such a thing. Anyway, Esther decided to try to fix her mistake by casting the hybrid curse on Klaus, but Mikael's biggest weakness when he was human was his pride. That was what led to the creation of vampires and what started the actual war between the species. He killed Esther's lover and then he returned home and killed her."
Okay, so my grandfather was some kind of psychopath. That didn't exactly make me feel good.
"I can't believe it." Jeremy said. "How could he do it?"
"Well I can only give the account of what Klaus told my father. Apparently Mikael said that she had broken his heart, so he was going to take hers and once again, I mean that literally." Annabelle finished. That was a gruesome image. "After that, my father left town, before coming back about 15 years later to try to regain the love of the girl he had left behind. It was then that he found out about me. He wanted to give us the gift of immortality, so he turned both of us."
"You know I'm trying to figure out what these pictographs mean." Alaric declared. "It's probably the same story, but I'd like to make sure."
"That one looks like Elena's necklace which apparently belonged to Esther, so maybe it means her.." Jeremy commented. "And if I had to get the sun with fangs is a vampire and the moon with fangs is a werewolf."
"Then what's the one with both?" Alaric asked.
"It is both." I guessed. "My father."
"Uh oh." Elena said. "Then that would mean that part of the story is false. The symbols together mean that the Klaus killed Esther, not Mikael. He probably made up the part about Mikael so his siblings wouldn't hate him. I bet they don't know. I'm going to go tell Rebekah about it."
"I'll go with you to protect you from being killed by her." Anna volunteered.
The two of them left, leaving me with Jeremy and Alaric. It was a little bit awkward and I wasn't entirely sure what to say to them. I could try to learn the spell while I was waiting. There was a network of witches on the internet that only witches knew about because it was one of the easiest ways to communicate. It was then that I had an idea.
"Do either of you have a picture of my father?" I questioned. I wanted to at least know what he looked like.
"I do. He apparent took some selfies while he was possessing me." Alaric replied. See, there was another thing that I needed to know about. He took out his phone. It was that I gasped.
My father was the man that had killed my mother and papa and all of our servants, but more importantly, he had killed me as well.
So, I've always been intrigued in Anna's and Kol's relationship. That's why I like making Kol her father. Plus it adds to their relationship. I also changed the plot of the episode a little. Anyway next chapter is going to have some reunions that will probably be awkward. Please don't forget to review.
