Title: Reborn in Time
Chapter One: The Sacrifice
Hayden stood in line at the bank, fiddling with his black and green flannel absentmindedly. It was just another ordinary day, he thought, ignorant of the extraordinary fate that awaited him. He looked forward to using the money he was depositing to buy the final piece of his comic book collection. But that dream was suddenly shattered when a group of masked robbers burst into the bank, demanding cash and wielding guns.
The air became heavy with fear. Hayden's heart pounded in his chest, but it was not until he saw the young mother clutching her infant in terror that his instincts kicked in. Without a second thought, he sprung into action, tackling one of the robbers and struggling for the weapon. He succeeded in disarming the assailant, but not without taking a bullet himself.
As he lay on the cold marble floor, the world darkening around him, he could hear the cries of the mother and her baby. A sense of peace washed over him. He had saved them. That thought was his last as everything went dark.
When he awoke, Hayden found himself in a place beyond imagination, standing before a shimmering figure. Whether a god, goddess, or something else entirely, it was hard to tell. The divine being smiled warmly.
"You've shown great bravery, Hayden. I am offering you a second chance," the figure announced. "But it will not be in your world."
Hayden's favorite TV show, an epic saga set in ancient Greece, flashed through his mind. The divine being nodded.
"Very well, Hayden. Enjoy your new life."
Chapter Two: Time Traveler
Two thousand years later, the magical land of ancient Greece was but a memory, yet Hayden had endured. His enchanted sunglasses, a gift from the gods, shielded his eyes as he pulled his beanie down with a sense of familiarity and comfort. Now, back in the present day, he was about to start his senior year at the new school.
Hayden's unusual attire—a muscle shirt that showed his chiseled physique, paired with a flannel and ripped jeans—raised eyebrows the moment he walked into the school. Whispers followed him, but Hayden hardly cared. He had faced mightier foes than high school gossip.
Before long, he sensed them—the so-called "Scooby Gang," a group known for their exclusive and haughty behavior. They exchanged furtive glances as Hayden passed, their leader Damon eyeing him suspiciously.
Stephen, Hayden’s guardian snake, hissed softly from his place hidden in Hayden's backpack. Though invisible to everyone else, Hayden could hear him clearly. It was a warning. Stefan, another prominent figure in the group, spun around, but saw nothing.
"Keep your head low," Hayden murmured to the snake.
Things escalated quickly; Damon started shoving Hayden around, making snide comments about his appearance and perceived fragility. For now, Hayden decided to remain passive. He had dealt with bullies before, but he knew a direct confrontation could expose his supernatural origins.
Chapter Three: Fateful Allies
A few weeks into the school year, Hayden encountered Elijah Mikaelson. There was something about Elijah that felt immediately familiar, invoking an ancient connection. It didn’t take long for them to realize their bond was deeper than meeting by chance—they were soulmates, cosmically intertwined across the ages.
Hayden’s allegiance shifted instantly to the Mikaelson family, feeling a new sense of belonging and understanding. When the Scooby Gang realized Hayden wasn’t as human as he seemed, their interest in him grew.
Damon, ever the antagonist, decided to use threats to win Hayden over. But when his menacing turned physical, Hayden uttered a single, ancient spell. Damon froze, his body turning to stone, a mere statue of his former self.
Chapter Four: For Honor and Love
With Damon temporarily out of the picture, the school dynamics shifted. The Scooby Gang petitioned harder for Hayden's alliance, their desperation palpable. But Hayden remained steadfast, loyal to Elijah and the Mikaelsons.
His ancient knowledge and otherworldly abilities had become known, and there was no longer any point in concealing what he was. Hayden's eyes, when visible through the enchanted sunglasses, shone with the wisdom of millennia.
As a new power struggle brewed, Hayden was ready. Scooby Gang bashing had become a thing of the past, fear no longer held sway, and legends of ancient Greece walked once more in the form of a seventeen-year-old senior.
And thus, Hayden began his true journey anew, not just in defense but in honor and love, eternally reborn yet entirely unique.
