Another life. Another identity.

Back to the beginning and moving forward

Rebecca Mikaelson.

That was who stood at the door.

Harri gasped in shock and excitement. Rebecca was someone who had lived near the Dursleys and looked after her when she was young.

Flashback

A bruised 10-year-old Harri sat in the dark on a swing in the park. She couldn't help crying from the pain, but most of all, she wanted someone to come and tell her it was going to be all right. Rebecca was hiding from her older brother and had decided England was the last place he would search for her. She didn't realize that Klaus was no longer searching for her, as he was on a mission to break the curse holding him hostage.

Rebecca heard a little girl crying, which she thought was odd as no children should be out late at night. She decided to check it out and see if she could help, even though she was a vampire. To her surprise, she found a girl with emerald eyes and bruised skin. Someone had done a number on her, and whoever it was, Rebecca would try to kill them, as no child should suffer.

"Hello sweetie, what are you doing here by yourself?"

Young Harri replied, "I'm okay, ma'am."

"Oh, why do you have bruises? Please tell me the truth."

"My uncle did this to me. He was so angry at me for not cleaning up after my cousin. He decided that he needed to punish me as I did a bad thing, and I should not be doing bad things. This is not the worst I have suffered. I have suffered a lot more, but I always heal."

"From my experience, all children should be coddled by those who look after them, and it's bad that this is the norm for you. Now let's get you healed up."

With that, Rebecca took her back to her home and treated all her wounds. Rebecca stayed near the residence to keep an eye on Harri. However, fate was cruel to Rebecca because, within a year, Harri disappeared, and the Dursleys kept telling her that Harri went to a school for children who do bad things. Rebecca left the area to look for Harri for many years until she heard about her family in Virginia. She went back to where it all started.

It was only very recently that she heard the name Harri and decided to check it out.

End of flashback

Both Rebecca and Harri were surprised to see one another.

"It seems like our lives are linked, young one. I searched for you for years until my family needed me, but I kept an eye on British newspapers just in case there was trouble. Knowing you, there is always some trouble. What's this I hear about my big brother taking an interest in you?"

"Nothing, Bec. He told me about the Potter bloodline. Anyway, come in as I need you to introduce me to the ever-growing family."

Rebecca, Damon, and Stefan were surprised to see each other, never realizing they might be a lot closer than they imagined. After a quick introduction and cooing over baby Teddy, Rebecca decided she needed to head home to her family members, who must have been waiting for her for 100 years. She made a plan with Harri for the next day to help her find the truth behind Elena.

What they didn't know was that Katherine Pierce had made an appearance, but the secrets were much more deadly than one could imagine. Mystic Falls would soon realize that having a witch would save their lives and most likely their generations.
