A/N Hello everyone! I normally only read fanfiction but this idea popped in my head so I decided to give it a shot. This is my first story here on fanfiction so please don't be too harsh. I haven't got a beta so all mistakes are mine.

I don't own 'The Vampire Diaries' or 'The Originals'.

So without further ado.. Here's the prologue.

Chicago, 2028

"I don't know if I can do this dad."

"Of course you can do this sweetheart."

"But what if they don't like me or think I'm weird?" I looked over at my father from the passenger seat with a questioning look. He sighed and rolled his eyes at me; something my aunt and I would usually do at him.

"No one will think you're weird. And you still have Claire so don't be so pessimistic. It's only high school."

"It's only high school." I mocked. "Well you've never been in high school."

"Neither have you."

I didn't know an answer to that so I turned away from him, crossed my arms in front of my chest and pouted.

"Why do I even have to go to high school? Why can I not just continue to be home schooled?"

He sighed again and said:"We have been over this a thousand times. Being around people is good for you."

"But I'm around people at home." I retorted.

"Other than your family, Claire and Ava I mean."

"But dad..Please?" I pleaded.

He turned in his seat and so did I. He took my hands in his and with his other, free hand he lightly touched my cheek like he always did when he's comforting me. I closed my eyes and just enjoyed this father-daughter moment. When I opened them again and gazed up into my father's eyes he was smiling at me fondly.

"You are the strongest and bravest person I know. You've struggled with far greater things than something as mundane as high school. You're a Mikaelson. Suck it up."

I had to laugh at that. That sentence had kind of become our inside joke. But when I looked up into his face and saw his serious expression I stopped. Instead I flung myself at him and hugged him tightly. Instantly his arms came around me and he hugged me back.

"I love you daddy." I whispered.

"I love you too, sweetheart."

After a few minutes I slowly pulled back and looked out of the car window at the place where I would spend 7 hour of my day from now on. I bit my lip something I always did when I was nervous.

"You'll get through this. We'll get through this. Together."

"Together."

oOo

Mystic Falls, 2013

I stood in the parking lot and bit my lip. I looked up at the big brick building that looked so terrifying to me. In moments like this I always wished Claire was there with me. I couldn't help the small smile. That I was still scared of high school, even after all those years. I gazed around at all the other students that were exiting their cars, rushing into the school building or talking to their friends. I searched for one group of friends in particular but couldn't spot them.

I started noticing that some students were looking at me curiously. Nervously I fiddled around with the strap of my bag.

'I should have started school in the beginning of the semester not in the middle of the school year.' I thought to myself.

"Can I help you with something?"

I startled and turned around. For a moment I was completely shocked. 'She looks exactly like Kat' I thought as I studied the girl in front of me. I had seen her a few times but only from far away. Seeing her now so closely was something completely different. She looked at me questioningly but I didn't know why. Then I realised that she must have asked me a question.

"What?" I asked stupidly.

"I asked if you needed some help. You looked kind of lost." She said not unkindly.

"Whatever could have given you that impression?" I asked sarcastically.

She laughed at me and again I found myself shocked at the resemblance. They even laughed the same.

"So can I be of any help?" She asked me again.

"Well" I said "I have to go to the secretary office but I have no clue where that is."

"No problem I have history in that wing. I'll show you where that is."

"Thank you." I said with a grateful smile.

"No problem. I'm Elena by the way."

"It's nice to meet you Elena. I'm Caitlin."
