Resurrection (Book 9: Satisfy Series) (The Originals & TVD)

Ch. 1: Gather Up the Killers

In my long, almost two hundred years on this earth, I started out as an innocent human, growing up as a southern belle, a girl that was sweet and funny and quick to laugh, and loved to play games and tease her brothers, Stefan and Damon Salvatore, while growing up.

Under the impression that my mother Lily was dead, I had been unaware that she sent her then-human boyfriend named Julian to check up on me, and he had been a monster even then, because he had charmed me over the course of weeks, and managed to get the sweet, naive human I used to be to sleep with him, and ended up getting me pregnant. Once he had turned into a vampire, he had come back on my mother's wishes, and finding out that I was pregnant, he beat me until the baby died, and then compelled me to forget everything.

When Stefan and Damon had gotten involved with the evil bitch Katherine Pierce, she had turned us all, and when I completed the transition, I had remembered what Julian had done, and on top of that, I was angry at my brothers for turning the innocent girl into a monster, so I had taken off, and whenever I saw them over the years, my brothers had managed to find a way to turn me into a killer, but I had been able to pull myself back.

In the roaring decade of the 1920s, I had been on the monster side of vampirism because of my brothers, and while I hadn't turned my humanity all of the way off, I had shut most of it out so I didn't feel most guilt. I had fallen for the Original hybrid Klaus Mikaelson, and he had fallen for me. We had had a blast, until his adoptive father Mikael hunted him and Rebekah down, and Klaus had compelled me to forget him so that Mikael couldn't torture me or kill me for information on where Klaus and Rebekah had taken off to for safety, theirs and mine.

After I had pulled myself together into a girl that would do anything for my family and friends, saving them, killing others if it meant that I had to, I had bargained with Klaus to save Damon's life by werewolf bite, and we spent the summer tracking down werewolves. He hadn't given my memories back until a few months later, and maybe that was because he wanted a fresh start, or maybe he was worrying about overwhelming me, but that didn't matter anymore. I was angry at him for the compulsion because of what had happened with Julian while I was human. And even though Klaus hated my family and friends, and they hated him, I couldn't bring myself to hate Klaus, not with my memories back, no matter how hard I tried to, no matter what Klaus did. I had only put on the show of hating him because Stefan, Damon and all of my friends resented him and would have resented me for loving him. And to make up for the fact that I didn't hate Klaus, I hated myself. Sometimes, even when Klaus had been trying to get my forgiveness and another chance, he would see that I hated myself for loving him, so he would do horrible things to give me a target for all my anger and hatred so that I didn't have to turn it on myself. He was a monster to everyone, but he did actually care about me, which didn't mean a lot to everyone else, but it still got under my skin. 

After Klaus had left town to go to New Orleans with his family, promising not to come to back to Mystic Falls to make it easier on me, but offering me to come to him whenever I was ready, I had tried to move on from Klaus to a no-strings relationship with Enzo St. John. And while I had told him that I didn't want strings attached, I knew that he had started to fall for me, and I cared about him more than most people besides my family and Klaus', but I could never love him like Klaus, and I hated myself for that, too. 

When Stefan, Damon and I had realized that our mother was not dead but in a prison world with Heretics, and they were let out, Lily had kidnapped Enzo to make me leave Mystic Falls to save his life. And I did leave. I left to go to LA, when I told Stefan and Damon the truth about what happened between me and Julian all those years ago, because they had said that Lily had been planning to bring him back. An organization called the Strix had tracked me down and taken me to New Orleans so that they could use me to get to Klaus, but Marcel Gerard had helped me escape, and then I was taken by Klaus' ex Aurora de Martel, and she forced the truth about Julian, our unborn child, and my exile from Mystic Falls out of me. Klaus had saved my life from Aurora, and after some time, we finally got back together, even though I had to leave again because Julian had put Stefan and Damon into the Phoenix Stone, after he had made Lily kill herself by making her choose between us and him. So I killed Julian for revenge for what he did to me and my family, and when Rayna Cruz marked Stefan, I had taken him into hiding, where Klaus had offered to help because he knew what Stefan meant to me as my brother.
