   Summary

   After your coven betrayed you, Klaus Mikaelson forces you to join his brother Elijah's experiment where he trains a group of lost witches who have nowhere else to go. Determined to keep your freedom and not become a building block in their dominance over New Orleans you resist every single one of their efforts.
   Soon you are convinced: They are all completely nuts. But the more you get to know Elijah and the more you start to trust the other witches, the more secrets you uncover and you must seriously wonder what the goal of this experiment might truly be and why you feel so drawn to the man you despise the most.

   This plays in an universe where TVD doesn't really exist because the Originals stayed in New Orleans and Marcel and Rebekah never called Mikael.
   There will be a weekly update every week between thursday and sunday
   This is the first draft. Once it's finished it will be uploaded on tumblr account (the-sparkling-witch) and beta read. I am so sorry for any mistakes I just couldn't keep this story to myself for longer so I am posting this to share.

   Chapter 15 is the 1st smut chapter so feel free to skip
