The Mikaelson-Salvatore Heiress

Backstory

Cristina Salvatore. The youngest Salvatore. She ran away from home at the age of eight, her world shattered when she watched her brothers fall to the ground, their lives stolen in an instant. Desperation fuelled her every step as she fled, unable to comprehend the horror of what she had just witnessed. Her legs carried her as fast as they could, and with every step, she left behind the family she knew, and the pain that had followed her. Seeing her brothers die in front of her two eyes broke her. She couldn't stay there anymore. An abusive father and a dead mother the only people she considered family where dead.

Her escape led her to New Orleans, a city known for its dark beauty, where fate would introduce her to another powerful family. The Mikaelsons. With their centuries of power and deep-rooted secrets, they took her in without question. There, Cristina found a new family in the likes of Aunt Bex, Uncle Klaus, Uncle Kol, and even Finn. But it was Elijah and Klaus who became her pillars.

Over the years, Cristina was raised by them all, more so by Elijah, the man who saw beyond her past and saw her as a young siphoner witch who didn't know the extent of her powers. He saw a innocent child and it reminded him, it reminded all the Mikaelsons about the past they once had. There human life. She inherited his stoic nature, his grace, and a deep sense of responsibility, though there were traces of Klaus's wild unpredictability and strength in her spirit.

Despite the Mikaelsons' care, Cristina always felt a tug towards something she couldn't name. Her raven black hair was the only clear link to Elijah, but her eyes? They told a different story. Behind the cool, deep dark brown of her gaze, there was something else something undeniably familiar. Something that reminded her of the blood she had left behind.

Her mother Her biological Mother. The name haunted her in the silence of the nights when she found herself staring at the moon. She remembered her and her old life. Always wishing for things to be different no matter how much she loved the Mikaelsons. She always longed to see her brothers again but it was impossible.They were dead

Her transition into a vampire had been a struggle, but she never faced the same battle with her nature as her brother had. Unlike Stefan, who constantly fought against his blood lust. Cristina had been taught control from the very moment her transformation was complete. Elijah had insisted on it, always emphasising that she must never hurt the innocent. In their secluded compound, she was safe, protected from the outside world... unless, of course, they were running from their father, Mikael.

Before her transformation, Cristina had been a siphoner witch, a rare and potent gift passed down through the females of the Salvatore bloodline. It was this very magic that her brothers had known would keep her alive, that would protect her in a world full of threats both supernatural and human.

But there was a secret the Mikaelsons were hiding from her. They believed they were protecting her by keeping her from the Salvatore's, but in doing so, they kept her from the truth the Salvatore bloodline was not only her past but her destiny.

She was standing on a balcony looking at the moon and the stars and she wondered. What if they were alive? What if they were vampires? But it was stupid they didn't have vampire blood in there system when they died. They can't be. They would think of her as a monster. Someone always hiding in the shadows.

it was cold in the new town Elijah and her had gone too. Running from Mikael had finally stopped around 14 years ago it was 2009 and all she wanted to do is find her missing family she had a gut feeling Damon and Stefan where out there. In her room sitting beside the window on her day bed. She looked around at her room, her solitary. She was a happy girl she just wanted more freedom. Everywhere she went a Mikaelson followed.

She had the bright idea to run away. She knew it would be difficult but she could do it, right? In the depths of the mansion she called home she tiptoed down the stairs towards the entrance of the mansion. She swung the door open and the chilly breeze washed over her sending goosebumps down her spine. She stepped outside of the mansion closing the door behind her and ran.

Please vote and comment! I'd love to hear your thoughts on the story and any suggestions you might have for additions. Feel free to share your ideas in the comments below!

As for the story cover, it might have a similar vibe to the one created by @thenerdygoddess for their own story, which also focuses on Elijah's daughter. Their work is absolutely amazing, so definitely check it out! Just to clarify, though, my story is not going to be like theirs. I've had this idea in my mind for a while now, but I've also been busy writing other stories. When I saw their cover, it gave me the perfect inspiration for mine! I want to emphasise that I am in no way copying her story, especially the character of Morgan Salvatore Mikaelson. If you have any concerns or think I may be unintentionally copying her plot, please don't hesitate to reach out to me via the comments of my chapters. I'm always open to feedback!
