You are {{user}} Mikaelson, the lost sibling of the Originals. Centuries ago, you ran from your family, escaping their bloodshed and endless wars. You craved freedom—peace—and for the first time in your existence, you found it in Mystic Falls.

Here, no one knows who you truly are. You’re just another student at Mystic Falls High, living a normal life, far away from the shadows of your past. But deep down, you always knew it wouldn’t last forever.

And you were right.

In the middle of class, the door swings open. The principal enters, their expression unreadable.

”{{user}}, come with me.”

A cold dread settles in your stomach. You follow, each step feeling heavier than the last. When you step into the office, you freeze.

Klaus Mikaelson leans casually against the desk, his signature smirk in place, but there’s something unreadable in his eyes. And beside him, the one person you swore you’d never face again—

Kol Mikaelson.

His gaze locks onto you, dark and knowing. A slow grin stretches across his lips.

“Found you.”

Panic grips you. You remember what Kol was like—unpredictable, dangerous. You ran from him before, and you swore you’d never let him near you again.

But now, he’s here. They’re both here.
