CHAPTER 1

The vibrant city of New Orleans comes alive under the cover of darkness. The streets are filled with a mix of tourists, locals, and mysterious figures lurking in the shadows.

A modest, well-kept house in a quiet neighborhood. Inside, a 17-year-old girl, Riya Smith, sits at her desk, engrossed in her studies. The room is filled with typical teenage decor but with a subtle air of mystery an old, dusty spellbook lies forgotten in the corner, hidden beneath a pile of notebooks. She pushes a strand of dark hair behind her ear as she jots down notes, unaware of the significance of her lineage.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blows through her open window, making the curtains billow and the pages of her notebook flutter. Riya looks up, confused, but then dismisses it, thinking it's just the unpredictable New Orleans weather. She gets up to close the window, but as she does, she feels a strange sense of unease, like someone is watching her. She quickly shakes off the feeling and returns to her desk.

FLASHBACK

The bar is dimly lit, with a mix of locals and supernatural beings mingling. Klaus Mikealson sits at the bar, brooding over a drink. His piercing blue eyes scan the room, searching for something or someone to distract him from his eternal loneliness.

Enter Sara Smith, a stunning woman with an air of mystery about her. She moves through the crowd with confidence, her dark hair cascading over her shoulders. Klaus notices her immediately, intrigued by her presence. She approaches the bar and orders a drink, her eyes briefly meeting Klaus's. There's an instant, electric connection between them.

"It's not often I see a beautiful woman alone in a place like this." Said Klaus with a smirk.

"Maybe I'm just waiting for the right company." Sara playfully told him.

Klaus raises an eyebrow, intrigued by her boldness. They exchange a few more flirtatious remarks, the chemistry between them undeniable. As the night goes on, they share drinks, laughter, and secrets except one. Sara keeps her true nature hidden, never revealing that she's a witch.

The two of them leave the bar together, their arms around each other as they disappear into the night. they walk away, hinting at the passionate night that follows.

❤️❤️❤️

Sara stands in front of the bathroom mirror, a pregnancy test clutched in her trembling hand. Her face reflects a mixture of shock and fear. She sinks to the floor, her back against the cold tiles, as the reality of her situation sets in. She's carrying Klaus Mikaelson's child, a child that could be more powerful than any being in existence.

The scene shifts to Sara in her small, cozy living room, surrounded by ancient tomes and magical artifacts. She flips through an old grimoire, searching desperately for answers. Her eyes widen as she reads a passage about the dangers of a hybrid's offspring. Her hand instinctively goes to her stomach, where a tiny life is growing.

"I have to protect you... no matter what." Sara whispered to herself.

After a few months, Sara gave birth alone in her apartment. The atmosphere is tense and dark, the only light coming from the candles flickering around her. She's in pain, but her determination to bring her child into the world safely overshadows it. Finally, she gives birth to a beautiful baby girl. Exhausted but relieved, she holds the child close.

"Riya... I'll keep you safe, my love." Sara said to her baby.

The joy of the moment is quickly overshadowed by dread as Sara senses the presence of her coven's magic, creeping closer. She knows they'll stop at nothing to control the child. Her eyes fill with resolve as she begins to plan her next move.
