Déjà Vu

Mystic Falls, the center of the supernatural hub of Virginia. There were the witches, the werewolves, the vampires and the wide array of hybrids. One in particular was none other than Alexandria Mikaelson, the original witch-vampire hybrid, blending in with the modern day teenagers to protect the Petrova doppelgänger from her brothers, just as she had done every 500 years since her mother, Esther, had turned her and her siblings into the monsters that they were today.

She had been a part of every clique you could imagine; The Vikings, The Travelers, the Gemini Coven, the Bennett Coven, The Founders, and, of course, The Originals. Somewhere down the line, she changed her name and spent centuries fleeing from her older brothers, Niklaus and Elijah, who were on the hunt for the Petrova doppelgängers. As the most powerful witch in what was left of her family, she stayed hidden, keeping her powers away from her family in order to keep her half-brother Klaus from breaking his werewolf-vampire hybrid curse.

Throughout this time, she found love.

She found it in the second and third Petrova doppelgängers, Tatia and Katherine.

In Lexi Branson, a friend of Stefan's whom she had met in 1864, soon after Katherine had been imprisoned in the tomb under Fell's Church.

In Elena Gilbert, as a friend whom Alex wouldn't dare to let die.

In Jenna Sommers, before Katherine returned to Mystic Falls and threw her through a loop.

In Hayley Marshall, after Katherine took the cure and died of old age.

In herself, centuries after she fought to stay alive and wanted nothing more to be a pile of ash.

Aleksandria Mikaelson rebuilt her family from the ground up after being outcast by her own flesh and blood. She became, and still is to this day, Alex Michaels. This is her story.
