There was one Mikaelson family secret that would never be shared, no matter what happened. She was the biggest regret the family ever came to have.
1,000 years ago, when the Mikaelsons had been turned, they lost their best friend, their sister. (Y/N) is the Mikaelson's biggest secret. Their hearts broke at even the thought of her.
(Y/N) had been a part of the Mikaelson family since she was born. Her mother and Esther had been really good friends so when (Y/N) lost her parents, Esther was more than happy to take her into the family. The only thing Esther didn't want to do to (Y/N) was condemn her to an immortal life.
No matter how much the Mikaelson siblings begged, Esther refused to turn (Y/N) as well. The siblings were very upset, but none were as distressed as Niklaus.
(Y/N) and Niklaus had been sneaking around in a secret relationship that only his siblings knew about since Mikael would never allow it.
But being happy and her not being turned was not why they kept her such a sad secret. One night, Mikael had found out about (Y/N) and Klaus and was not happy He almost went as far as to strike her, but Niklaus got her out of there before he could.
So that night, Niklaus did the one thing he never wanted to do.
~~~ Flashback ~~~
"(Y/N), are you alright?" Niklaus asked once they were in a forest clearing, a safe distance from his father.
"I'm fine, Nik. I just didn't think that he would be that mad when he found out," the girl confessed as she hugged the man in front of her.
But what she didn't know was that Nik was struggling with himself, barely able to hold her in his arms.
"(Y/N)," he called to get her attention as he pulled back from her grip.
"Yes, Nik?" she questioned as she noticed his anxious and uneasy state.
"I'm sorry, Love, but you are not safe with me anymore. I'm afraid my father will harm you if we stay together," He ___, not being able to look his love in the eyes.
"Niklaus, w-what are you sa-saying?" She stuttered, hoping what she thought wasn't the truth.
"Love, you know what I'm saying. There's too much danger towards you if we stay together. I can't bear the thought of you being the reason you get hurt," he ___, while hesitantly looking up to see tears welling in her eyes.
"No, we can work it out together. Don't let me go just because you're afraid of the what-ifs. I love you, Niklaus, and I know you love me, too," she cried, while grabbing his hands.
"I do love you. But I'm sorry, Love," he said looking directly in her eyes, "You are going to forget about our entire family and our entire life together. You were orphaned at 17 and you traveled to where you live now. You know nothing about vampires or any supernatural being."
The girl blinked, wondering why there were tears in her eyes and looked around. She couldn't remember why she wandered into the woods or how far from the village she was. So she looked to where the sun was and walked in that direction.
~~~ End of Flashback ~~~
Her beautiful (E/C) eyes, welled with tears, haunted Klaus for his entire existence.
(Y/N), she was the only one he truly loved but he had pushed her away to protect her. And for that he lost her. But he had watched her that day, after running out of her view, to make sure that she arrived safely to the village. He often checked in to make sure that she was still safe. And soon, found out that she came across a good suitor and settled down. He was jealous that it wasn't him she settled down with, but he knew it was to give her her best chance at a normal life.
But soon, he and his siblings had to run from Mikael and he couldn't keep an eye on her. Though he never got over her, and finally when he could get back to check on her, she wasn't there anymore.
*** Your P.O.V. ***
Somehow, I had died with vampire blood in my system and became a vampire. And everything about my life with my family, the Mikaelsons, came rushing back to me. But the only problem was, I couldn't find them. I searched all over the world for them but was never successful.
I never wanted to give up, but I had to. I had been around all corners of the world 5 times over and never found them. Do soon, i found a cute little town called Mystic Falls and settled down there.
I made friends with Stefan and Damon Salvatore, two other vampires before making friends with their friends.
One day, Elena, Bonnie, Caroline and I were all in the Mystic Grill having a nice lunch after a long day of shopping.
"So what are you wearing for the decade dance, Bon?" Caroline asked before taking a bite of her salad.
But before she could answer, I heard a familiar voice, "Can I get a beer, please?"
I turned and saw him at the bar. He looked the same as he did on that day except he had shorter hair and more modern clothing.
"Excuse me," I said to the girls, as they continued talking and got up to walk towards the bar.
I noticed he heard and recognized me as he turned and looked my way.
"Niklaus?" I mumbled as I stopped walking and just looked at him.
"(Y/N)?" He whispered in disbelief and stood up.
I smiled and continued to walk towards him.
"Is it really you, (Y/N)?" he uttered as he pulled me into a hug.
"Yes," I breathed as I pulled back and looked him in the eyes.
"B-but... how?" He stuttered.
"It doesn't matter how. I'm here now. I love you," I assured him before I kissed him.
"I love you, too, (Y/N)," he reciprocated when he pulled back before kissing me again.
