The Originals: What if Elijah Had Turned Tatia?

I choose you, Elijah, forever...

                      I love playing around with "What ifs" and one I've been thinking over ever since The Originals "Red Door" episode is: What if Elijah didn't kill Tatia but turned her instead? For one thing Nina Dobrev would have had more work to do playing more doppelgängers. However, some things would have turned out differently... maybe.

She's MY girl, Klaus. Back off of Tatia

               Tatia turning into a vampire would have turned into an eternal love triangle between her, Elijah and Klaus (not unlike with Elena, Stefan, and Damon). Tatia also had a daughter so her bloodline would continue and we'd still get Katherine and Elena. Of course Klaus being the immature, petulant child that he used to be before he became a dad, I wouldn't have put it past him to dagger Elijah in a jealous rage forcing Tatia to leave in horror. We also have to take into account that it was Tatia's doppelgänger blood that was used to bind Klaus in the Hybrid Curse. We've seen in TVD that the doppelgänger blood is still valuable, vampire or not. Either way Esther would have used Tatia's blood. But if she didn't then Klaus would still be a lonely hybrid. So let's theorize that Esther did use Tatia's vampire doppelgänger blood to bind Klaus.

That better be a love bite, Klaus

            About 500 years later, Tatia may not be around. Just off somewhere keeping track of her blood line or just exploring because as I've said before Klaus would have daggered Elijah but most definitely he would have un-daggered him because Klaus is lonely and Elijah was the only one of his brothers to actually protect him from their abusive father. So in comes Katherine. Not sure Elijah would have fallen in love with Katherine the way he did before because he would still hold a torch for Tatia whom he would secretly meet through out the centuries. Tatia would argue with Elijah of course about his allegiance to Klaus. This would have put a strain on their relationship. Klaus would probably still have feelings for Tatia. As we've seen with his rivalry with Tyler, by this time Klaus would feel like he could charm Tatia especially if she and Elijah were over. But then he'd ruin it by killing Katherine, break the Hybrid Curse then Elena is born 500 years later but Damon and Stefan wouldn't be there to help her fend off Klaus.

Klaus has an unhealthy obsession with Petrovas

         OR because Klaus loves Tatia he would allow her to find a way that Katherine would survive. So Katherine remains human! But Damon and Stefan are still dead. UNLESS Tatia makes Katherine a vampire. Tatia, like Elijah has a dedication to family so she would protect her bloodline. Yet we have to remember that each doppelgänger is a little different so Katherine would have probably still turned out to be a bitch. Stefan and Damon will become vampires and we come to present day. And Elijah would be the origin of our heroes' bloodline so they could definitely kill Klaus without fuss.

You never forget your first love

        Either way Elena is found. If Klaus broke the Hybrid Curse then he would need her human doppelgänger blood. He would set up shop in Mystic Falls and Elena meets Tatia. Katherine would have pissed Klaus off at some point or he would sleep with her as some way of having Tatia who would still not give in to having a relationship. She (Tatia) would probably still be with Elijah to Klaus's chagrin (like I said, it's the Damon, Elena, Stefan love triangle all over again). I still see Klaus turning Tyler into a hybrid. He would maybe have a fling with Caroline (if Katherine didn't turn her into a vampire) or maybe try a relationship with her. So maybe Klaroline would happen. We have to take into account that Tatia would decide to stick around Mystic Falls to protect her family members so Klaus would see her all the time, not getting over his feelings for her.

Turn into a vampire or dinner, your choice.

         Sounds a bit messy because of so many unknown variables. A few details changed and we could still have the ships we have now. The only big changes would be that Katherine, Damon, Stefan, and Caroline would be descended from Elijah instead of Klaus. Also Elijah would be with Tatia and never meet Hayley and Hope would never have been born. UNLESS Klaus has a fling with some other werewolf or witch or human in Mystic Falls. Feel free to discuss this possibility or correct me in some points I don't mind.
