“On the warpath”
—KOL MIKAELSON was known for being the wildest Original. In terms of cruelty and intelligence, he had nothing to envy the current King of New Orleans, his brother Klaus Mikaelson, the Original Hybrid.
However, after having recovered his witch side and his best friend, Davina, died, Kol decides that it is time to find his place in a world where he is immortal. With his family safe, and with baby Hope out of danger, Kol says goodbye to his siblings and starts a new life.
Kol uses his compulsion to marry a single mother named Renée Dwyer along with her pale and ordinary daughter, Bella, under the name Charlie Swan, a simple and ordinary mortal with nothing to hide.
—CHARLIE SWAN was a typical middle-aged man Chief of Police of Fork, Washington. He lives a normal life in a quiet, cloudy town, a life that takes a turn when the daughter of the human he married decides to come to Fork to live with him. And with her arrival, she turns the world upside down.
Charlie tries to act ignorant around the vampire descendants of the Originals and the werewolves. In this new life he was trying to control his homicidal instincts and not kill any idiot that comes his way, and it's hard work.
Likewise, all the supernatural beings that lived in Forks resided in the town in total ignorance, unaware that an Original lives among them.
—OUT OF ALL OF THEM, THEY NEVER THOUGHT THAT KOL WOULD BE THE ONE TO LEAVE. The Mikaelson was always the closest to them, always seeking the attention of his siblings and their love in a world full of blood and betrayal, where he felt an outsider of the "Always and Forever."
The death of his then best friend and sister in all but blood, Davina Clair, had been enough for the now witch to decide to leave and look for what to do with his life now that all his siblings and his baby niece were alive and well, even the traitor dog Finn (Kol's words).
“Kol.” Rebekah's sad look did nothing but make Kol smile, happy to see her suffer. I mean, they deserved it after having caused him so much pain.
“Don't be a crybaby, Rebekah.” The Original rolled his eyes. “You act like Klaus is planning to dagger me again.”
“Kol.” He heard the newly hybrid dad growl.
“Kol, are you sure?” Freya's sweet voice caught his attention and Kol softened before the other witch in the family. What? He had a soft spot for witches and he adored the powerful Freya.
“Don't worry about me, sister. I'll keep in touch and come screw your lives like you all deserve.” The immoral vampire laughed.
He heard murmurs of annoyance among the family upon hearing his words, but they all smiled.
“Now, let me say goodbye to the beautiful Hope, who will miss her favorite uncle.”
Kol walked towards Klaus, taking Hope from his hands and ignoring his brother's growl and Freya's smile. In his hands, his beloved niece smiled at him.
“Oh, yes. You know I'm your favorite,” Kol said as he played with his niece's little nose.
“We'll miss you, Kol,” Finn said.
“And I'll miss snapping your neck every morning, Finn,” Kol smiled, earning a sigh from Finn.
“Kol.” Elijah caught his attention. “If you need anything, don't forget that we're here for you.”
“Always and forever,” Klaus said.
“Always and forever,” they all said softly, watching the night fall.
—KOL MIKAELSON WAS THANKFUL FOR HAVING POWERS, BECAUSE THEY MADE GETTING A FALSE IDENTITY VERY EASY. He looked at his new identity, Charlie Swan. He smiled at the simple name, nothing like his own, a familiar and scary one. It was a name without power or fame, simple and perfect. Just like the photo on the identity.
Kol pouted, sad to have to camouflage his beautiful face, but being that beautiful wouldn't help him in a normal life when he knew he would draw attention wherever he went. Oh, the curse of being so beautiful.
Now he just needed a typical, normal life and he would be set. And what better than a normal, human family? And that's how he ends up marrying Charlie Swan to Renee Dwyer, single mother of a one-year-old girl named Bella, who would never know that he had used his compulsion to marry Renee, and who would never remember that he wasn't her biological father.
Did he feel guilty? What a stupid question. He was Kol Mikaelson! He had done much worse things for him to care about using his powers to marry a simple, mundane mortal with a simple child. He hadn't even slept with her. He simply required a normal appearance in the world.
Of course, then the divorce happened blah blah blah, and that's how he ended up in Forks, Washington, where he was able to act as an absent father due to his job as police chief (and wasn't that ironic considering he was a murderer) and therefore, he didn't have to worry about Bella.
Or at least that was how it was supposed to be for the rest of his life as the mortal Charlie Swan, before Bella decided to move in with him. Goodbye to the days where he could walk around his house in his original appearance. Ugh.
Not only did he have to deal with his "daughter", he also had to deal with the idiotic vampires and useless werewolves that lived in Forks. He wonders what lineage those vampires were from, definitely not his. Kol was too awesome for those idiots to be from his line. Surely they were Rebekah's and had inherit the younger's idiocy. At least they had very interesting powers. Surely Klaus would be interested.
In fact, he should call his siblings and see what the hell they were doing. He hoped they were raising Hope to be a little demon worthy of being a Mikaelson, daughter of Klaus. And that they would stop screwing him over for becoming a police chief, ironic when technically he was more of a serial killer, with thousands of bodies to his name.
Well, it's not his fault that mortals gave him the position and gave him the power to kill and take blood from criminals, he was just a simple vampire.
—CHARLIE WONDERED IF IDIOCY IN HUMANS WAS UNIVERSAL. Bella really believed that he was going to believe any stupid excuse that the young woman gave him to protect the idiotic little vampire who dared to enter his house. Oh, these vampires of today who did not know how to respect their betters. He would forgive him only because his father, Carlise, was very handsome.
Obviously, for him, it was easy to hear and feel every time Edward Cullen, one of the vampires adopted by Carlise Cullen, entered the house to do whatever he did with Bella. Charlie really prayed for him to kill her and be done with her, the girl was more useless than even Marcel and the witch‘s patience was not eternal.
He really deserved an award for not having killed half of Forks in a fit of anger or boredom, Elijah would be proud.
Bella only came to bring discord to his peaceful life, being trapped in a love triangle between Edward Cullen and Jacob Black, an embarrassing wolf, nothing like Klaus or the wolves he knew. They looked more like giant dogs. Totally embarrassing.
He couldn't even see what they saw in her. Bella wasn't half as beautiful as Elena Gilbert, the useless doppelgänger, and he never understood what Elijah saw in her. But what could he expect from a disco ball and a giant dog.
"D-Dad." Bella's voice pulled him out of his thoughts full of hatred and violence towards the supernatural residents of Forks.
"Is something wrong, Bella?" The fact that his voice sounded soft was the sole reason why he should rewarded himself with a murder or something.
"I'm going to stay with the Cullens." The discomfort could be smelled coming out of Bella's pores. The young girl had her hands in her back pockets and wore a fake, awkward smile.
“Oh, right. Be careful.” He said with a slight sadness that caused Bella to flinch. The girl didn’t know that inside, Kol was jumping for joy.
He would finally be free of this brat!
By all the magic in the world, he didn’t think he could take it anymore. Soon he would kill this life and return to New Orleans where he would take his true, beloved identity as the Original Kol Mikaelson.
