To Be Frey

Summary:

No magic. No power. Just knowledge, cunning, and a few herbs.

When she is thrust into the past, she lands in the home of the Originals—before legends were born, before blood would stain their hands. Mikael claims her as his daughter. Esther suspects her. The siblings are uncertain, and the world is merciless.

To survive, she must learn fast, think faster, and find her place in a family that could destroy her—or make her unstoppable.

Chapter 1: Introduction

Summary:

This is a story about an unexpected sister.

She did not fall from the sky with godlike power or arrive with a destiny written in the stars.

She simply... appeared.

In a time before vampirism, before betrayal, before names became myths, she came quietly. A soft heart in a hard place. A sister with no magic, no armor—just wit, stubbornness, and a desperate need for a functioning bathroom.

What she didn’t know was how fragile the balance was in the Original household.

And how easy it would be to tip it.

Chapter Text

I wasn’t supposed to be here.

Not in this time. Not in this story. And definitely not in this family.

But fate doesn’t ask. It tosses you where it wants and dares you to make something of it.

When I woke up surrounded by forests older than my grandmother's bedtime stories and was called “daughter” by Mikael, I should’ve run. But I didn’t. I stayed. I adapted.

I learned to live among legends—armed with only my hands, my knowledge, and a growing collection of handmade clay jars.

They don’t know what I am to them yet.

But they will.
