Ghost of Lifetimes Past | Kol Mikaelson

She was born Lindsey Martin. Now she was Melissa "Lissa" Gilbert. She used to be 5'9. Now she wasn't even a foot tall. She died at age 39. Yet not 2 months ago she had celebrated her 2nd birthday. Confusing, no? Well, try living it. All she remembered was walking into her local middle school to interview a child about his parents and hearing a bang followed by a flash of pain, and the next thing she's aware of is someone shoving a nipple-shaped thing into her mouth. Her mouth that didn't have teeth. The whole experience was mind-boggling. That's the sole reason it took her a whole 4 months to realize she'd been reborn as Elena Gilbert's albino twin. As in she was basically a doppelganger without any pigmentation besides her blue eyes. She was so excited to be seen as the weird Gilbert twin. If Caroline had a problem being compared to Elena, she knew her future was going to be riddled with comparisons. Even at birth, you could see their clear differences. Lissa had a sickly white complexion with icy blue eyes and a tuff of white hair on her head. On the other hand, Elena was clearly going to be a tan girl with the darkest of hair and pretty brown eyes. Even at age 2, the twin girls were night and day. On top of all that, Lissa didn't really act like a normal child. Can you blame her though? She was an adult in mind and was expected to be a mindless child. It just didn't work out well.

"Lissa, Elena, what do you think about Jeremy for a boy's name?" Miranda, her new mother, asked from the hospital bed. She'd just given birth to her new baby brother. Did this mean she could completely fuck with canon and change someone's name? No, sadly, Jeremy did fit her brother in the future. She should let him keep the name.

"Jeremy sounds like a nerd name!" Elena piped up.

"Shush Elena! I like it." She stuck her tongue out, playing the role of a 2-year-old. At times she knew she either didn't act very well or completely oversold it. Luckily, her parents were blinded by that nice ol' parental love. She may not have been the favorite but currently she's sure they'd let her get away with murder. It's not surprising Elena became a spoiled brat.

Her father laughed, "Well that just means he's gonna take after his dear ol' dad!"

Lissa, despite knowing what her future held in terms of her parents, was happy she had this time with them. And now she had Jeremy to look after. Elena was going to have both Salvatores' protection, but Jeremy was going to have hers. And honestly, considering she had the knowledge to at least get on the Originals' good side, she'd pick her protection over those two brothers any day.

Middle School, the current bane of her existence. She was certain that not even Klaus would wish the torture of going through it a second time on his worst enemy...Well, maybe his father but that doesn't count. That dude has been hunting them down for 1000 years. At school she was stuck dealing with teachers trying to get her to play or socialize with all the other kids. At least at home, her parents didn't question her anti-social tendencies. Admittedly that's mainly because they were so focused on Elena and what she was doing but that's besides the point.

Plus she wasn't without friends. She had somehow made friends with baby Caroline on the first day of elementary school. Even if she didn't want to hang out with anyone, she would still be forced to see the blonde girl. Lissa was sure that not even death would keep Caroline from being her friend. The young girl seemed to imprint on her the minute she saw her.

Besides Caroline, she'd made one more friend. A friend she'd never really expected to make as the very thought of it never would have crossed her mind until she was past the age of 16. That friend is the one she was currently sneaking into her father's office to see. Looking around her to check that no one was around that would question her going into her father's office mid-afternoon, the young albino girl snuck through the door. Closing the black parasol she had to keep with her so her skin didn't burn, she made her way down to the secret basement she'd found a couple of months ago.
