The Coven

***ATTENTION: KOL is portrayed by Daniel Sharman and not Nate Buzolic. ***

The thing about history is that it isn't 100 % correct.
Sometimes history gets it wrong.
But what if I told you that the story started before Henrik got attacked?

There was a girl. A girl told to run faster than the wind to protect her family. And she'd do just about anything to accomplish that. Ran until she found Esther Mikaelson and learned everything about being a witch while maintaining her secret.

Meet Maddelena.

The original Twin.

This is a story about a love that spanned centuries. Kol and Mads loved like their souls were on fire. But one day came and changed it all. Her secret would be blown and the travellers would be hot on her trail. Mads learned that she was pregnant with multiples. A choice was to be made.
She didn't tell Kol - she ran all the way to Esther.

"He's sentenced me to death. They will find me and kill me. And if that doesn't kill me, this pregnancy will. Esther I don't want to die. If I die... the gemini coven dies with me. I need help. Kol can't find out about the pregnancy. Esther, I know what I'm asking you."
"He will not know, my child. But dark magic like this will have an effect on your psyche. Can you live with it?"
"Esther, I'll do anything. I don't want to die."

And just like that the history was made.
Maddelena would become The Original, Original.
The Original Bad-ass. A tale as old as time.

The day Klaus and Elijah sacrificed themselves, Mads felt as she collapsed sending a sonic scream of misery through her coven.
The Gemini Coven thought to be eradicated by Kai Parker.
No one knows Madelaine's secret. No one knows who she is besides the fact that she is half-witch, half-vampire.

But it was in that moment of misery, she realized Klaus took something from her and she wanted it back. Only thing was - she didn't know where to start and Klaus was dead.
