Plot idea by : @josselyn777
Cleo Sertori spent her life afraid of what she was, hiding her secrets in the depths of the ocean. But when she meets Klaus Mikaelson, she stops being afraid of the water and starts being fascinated by the blood.
Cleo was supposed to be the "pure" one-a creature of moonlight and sea spray. Klaus Mikaelson is the Great Evil, a hybrid whose very existence is defined by a thousand years of violence. By all logic, she should run. Instead, she stays.
Fascinated by his darkness rather than repelled by it, Cleo begins a slow, deliberate descent into the Mikaelson world. She stops fearing the shadows and starts craving the power that comes with them. She doesn't want him to change; she wants to change for him.
When the time comes to leave her humanity behind, it isn't an act of desperation or a plea for survival. It's a choice. Because for Cleo, a life of eternal sunshine and salt water is a prison if Klaus isn't in it. Now, she's asking for the one thing he's terrified to give: the end of her purity, and the beginning of their forever.
