The Originals: Amara Potter

Chapter Two: Names and Magic

Kari Mikaelson had just learned her real name and was ecstatic despite the beating she got from her uncle for her teachers hair miraculously turning blue.  As she fell asleep bruised and beaten she appeared in a large meadow surrounded by a forest. 

"Kol, Finn!!" She yelled excitedly despite her sore body. Two figures appeared from behind the trees, probably back from hunting.  The first one appeared in a flash by her side, his styled brown swept up from running and his dark eyes sparkling with mischief.  The second one followed at a human pace, His long curly brown hair blowing as he smiled his eyes alight with happiness for the first time in centuries.  

"Guess what!!" She grinned happily

"what Little Witch?!" asked Kol, smirking. Finn leaned down and tilted his head in question

"Amara Potter!" She smiled in a daze.  Finn's face was the mask of confusion

"What?" Questioned Kol, confused.

"My Name!! It's Amara Potter!" She yelped delighted.  Their eyes widened and their faces broke out into grins.  

"Well Little Amara, anything else happen today!" Kol teased.  She pouted at first, but then nodded energetically

"I was super angry when the teacher was mean to me, and bam his hair turned blue!!" She smirked.  

Kol smirked back before placing hand on his chest, "A girl after my own heart you little Prankster!!" He grinned and initiated a tickle fight while Finn Chuckled in the background.

-Time Skip 2 Years-

Two years had passed since she unlocked her magic, met Kol and Finn, and discovered her name, and she had practiced and practically inhaled magical knowledge from Kol like a sponge, until finally Kol and Finn convinced her to threaten her relatives so she would not be beaten and starved everyday.  She entered the kitchen to see the family eating breakfast before she spoke up, "I would like my meal please!" She announced.  Her Uncle Vernon turned to her his face rapidly reddening.

"Listen here-

"No," She cut him off, " you listen here you fat walrus, I've had it with your abuse!" She yelled at him.

"After everything we've done for you-" He started to speak before she levitated the knife he was using between his eyes

"You've done for me, huh?" she asked rhetorically.  All three Dursley's paled drastically at the display. 

"But the Freaks said you didn't have any freakishness!" Aunt Petunia blurted out, before covering her mouth and paling.

"What freaks?" interrogated Amara, glaring.  

"My sister and her husband, your parents!" she spat out, her courage rising, "Even they admitted you weren't worth as much as your brother!"

"But you told me they died!" Exclaimed Amara, shocked.

"No they just left you on the doorstep with only a note!" she spat bitterly.  Witch each word her anger rose until her magic spiked and exploded out her breaking all the glass in the room.  She ran to her cupboard and curled into a ball before passing out from the magic overload.  What she didn't know was that a certain Meddling Old fool had placed blocks against her soulmate bond and that magical overload unlocked the last of them bringing about a change in Amara's life. 

In a beautiful meadow surrounded by a forest two men awoke suddenly, The first with his brown hair and brown eyes in a traditional black and white suit, the second wearing a blue shirt and a leather jacket with dark jeans and had dirty blonde hair and ocean blue eyes.  Upon seeing each other they stiffened almost imperceptibly.  

"Niklaus," The first commented to the other stiffly

"Elijah," Niklaus responded with a glare, "did you bring me here?!" he glared threateningly.

"I have no idea where we are in the first place Niklaus," He replied, unfazed.  Niklaus was about to respond but they both stilled when they heard the sound of crying, before a childlike voice called out desperately, "Kol! Finn! Where are you?! I need you!" The voice cried desperately.  Both their eyes widened, looking at each other before racing away towards the noise.  Their curled up in a ball at the edge of the meadow sat a little girl with midnight black hair a teary emerald eyes staring almost desperately at them, before her face morphed into rage, and the wind started whipping angrily around them.

"What did you do to Kol and Finn!! How did you get here!" She yelled angrily.  Elijah stepped forward, always the diplomate.

"My name is Elijah Mikaelson, and this is my brother Niklaus, how do you know Kol and Finn?" Elijah questioned curiously

"Mikaelson?" She asked curiously, "so you're related to them then!" she suddenly grinned happily and sprang forward and before they even registered what she was doing her arms were around there knees in a hug, since that was as far as she could reach.  They both looked distinctly uncomfortable with the hug and were inwardly glad she let go.

"How do you know Finn and Kol?" Elijah repeated.

"whenever I go to sleep I see them!  I found them in boxes with knives through their chests!" She grinned, before frowning at the end

"And where are they now?" asked Elijah.

"I don't know, I usually see them here when I sleep, but this time I saw you!" she replied, confused.

"When you sleep?" asked Niklaus.

"Yeah I first saw them when I used my magic!  They were in these huge boxes with knives in their chests and I thought that ought to hurt, so I pulled them out, and then we became best friends!! They even gave me a name!" She grinned happily, prattling on.

"I'm sorry, gave you a name?" Niklaus questioned, confused.

"Yeah, I didn't have a name before, so they named me Kari Mikaelson!" She smiled.

"Why didn't you have a name before?" asked Elijah

"My aunt and uncle always called me Freak so that used to be my name, but Kol said that is wasn't a real name, so Finn named me!" She frowned in confusion, before smiling happily their stiffened bodies softened along with their features as Niklaus crouched down beside her and smiled slightly at her.

"Kol and Finn are our brothers, and we haven't seen them in a long time," He explained.

"Why were you crying little one?" Elijah asked, joining his brother on the ground.

Her face fell before she responded, "I just found out my parents didn't die, they Abandoned me for my brother," She frowned sadly.

Niklaus's face twisted with sympathy, while Elijah's darkened with anger.  Suddenly the sky started to blur along with their surroundings.

"Will I see you again?" She asked hopefully.

"I hope so," Smiled Niklaus.  

She held out her hands, "Always and forever right?" She asked.  Elijah and Niklaus were almost stunned into silence by that phrase before they grabbed each of her tiny hands

"Always," Started Niklaus

"And Forever," Finished Elijah before they all awoke in their beds with a jolt.
