"Emma?" Cleo asked as her friend paced around her room. "What's going on?"
"I have to go back," Emma told her. "He'll know if I don't."
"Who is he?" Rikki asked from where she was sitting.
Emma stopped, turning to face the two girls. "Thank you two for being the sisters I always wanted."
They exchanged hugs, holding onto each other tightly. Rikki and Cleo shared a look. Something was wrong with Emma, and they were determined to find out what.
But when they went around her house the next day, she was gone. They were told that she was moving to live with some relatives in America, they didn't know when Emma would be back. This only made the girls more confused. The Gilbert's reasoning sounded rehearsed.
Cleo Sertori and Rikki Chadwick would later separate after a few years, each moving in with their lives while searching for Emma Gilbert.
✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*
Cleo Sertori had left her hometown in Golden Coast in Australia ten months ago, a few weeks after graduating high school.
Cleo Sertori, Emma Gilbert and Rikki Chadwick had received their tails almost three years ago when they got stranded on a deserted island and had to swim their way through a moon pool during a full moon. After two years, the girls had found Emma panicking about having to go back. They had gotten the occasional letter for a few months, then nothing.
Cleo and Rikki had been worried about their friend, their sister, but then a new mermaid, Bella, had moved in town. The water would attack them every full moon. Cleo, Rikki and Bella had worked together in defeating nature and everything was alright again.
This did not stop their worrying about Emma. Yes, they cared about Bella, but she wasn't Emma. They both viewed Bella as a friend but Emma was their sister.
Rikki went to college while Cleo decided to ask Emma's parents one last time where she was before leaving Australia. The Gilbert's told her that their relatives lived in Mystic Falls, Virginia.
She ended up in The Appalachians, where a boy named Tyler found her. She had been stumbling through a path, clutching a small bag when he came across her.
He had given her the name Hayley Marshall, the wolf girl, when introducing her to people.
Cleo did not mind this name.
She stayed with him and his group for a week before she continued her journey to Mystic Falls. She met the Gilbert's that lived there, there was no one in town named Emma Gilbert. Cleo stuck around in town for a while and ended up meeting Klaus Mikaelson. And sleeping with him.
He had told her about a birthmark on her shoulder that she had never really cared for. She knew that it was from her pack, her biological one. Cleo was happy with her family, with Rikki, Emma, Kim, her parents. They were her pack, she didn't need the people who had given her away. But with her family's encouragement, Cleo decided to look for her biological pack.
Cleo ended up in New Orleans. In a matter of weeks, everything she thought she knew was false.
Just like Emma Gilbert.
✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* AUTHORS NOTE hi hi hi here's the prologue for just add fangs! Cleo is a werewolf/mermaid hybrid currently but doesn't have shift on full moons anymore. If she wanted to, she could shift to avoid becoming moonstruck.
