November 24, 2000

Today was the day.

Ryu and the two other Mikaelsons had decided that Ryu's birthday would be the perfect time to murder.

The now 9 year old honestly thought it was stupid, but according to Klaus it was to help him learn.

Bullshit.

And now the short child had to stand in front of two dead beat parents with too much anger.

He tilted his head clicking his tongue.

"And to think you two are the things of legends and nightmares." He let a little giggle slip out as he circled the two very alive originals. The other two stood against the wall watching a tiny version of the man they feared circle their parents. "You're both pathetic."

As he said the last word his eyes glowed golden. To Ryu it felt as though his mind was pushed to the side. He knew another presence clouded his brain and took over.

His neck whipped to the side glaring at the two vampires against the wall. He heard an audible crack and winced knowing his body didn't belong to him anymore for the moment.

"And you two! Letting a child do your dirty work." His tongue clicked, though it was not his own actions. "I guess I'll have to punish the both of you harder this week."

A dark chuckle sounded, gold seeped from his eyes. Looking down at his body he saw all of his veins originally blue tinted were glowing gold.

He smirked.

"Even as a tiny helpless being I am still a thousand times more powerful than any of you will ever be." Ryu had no idea how he could be this powerful, he felt all the power flowing through him and was shocked.

Tearing off the bracelet on his wrist he giggled feeling more power surge through him, absolutely drunk on power his laughter grew more hysteric.

"You two always hated me. And then kidnapped me to hate me even more!" Clicking his tongue he huffed turning to Esther and Mikael, the corners of his lips quirking up.

In truth the future Ryu knew that this was going to happen, after all it was his own body. He just shoved the poor boy to the back of his own mind and took over.

Pushing forward in the incredibly small and malnourished body he inhabited he pressed a thumb to their heads. Smiling as the same golden light filled their eyes and veins.

Dusting himself off he turned to the gobsmacked originals and shrugged. Lifting a hand he snapped his fingers and Ryu's body vanished in sight making the two curse.

When the nine year old came to he was left against a tree with a note by his side and a firey pain in his body.

'Hi little me! It's me, or well it's you more like but that doesn't matter. I'm writing how I would in our last life I know but I figured I would because it seems easier. Enough rambling. You're powerful, I'm sure you've heard from everyone around you.

We're going to grow into the most feared in the universe but don't worry~ You'll be accompanied by your lovers. Yes lovers, multiple. We've got game.

Currently only one of them knows about tiny you, she's a doll.

She'll protect you I promise. I would know because I sent her. Don't worry too much about blood shed, she'll take care of most if not all of it.

Our beloved will help you with everything. She won't reveal herself until you're of right age though, when Stefan and Damon come and fuck up everything. Stay on your toes. Don't try to find our beloved. She will give you books I've written to help you.

And don't try and find where I am in this time line. We co-exist but must never meet. Time line bullshit I know you've read the stories~'

Ryu gave a huff as he got up still reading the note, it did sound a lot like him. Too much like him. Not him in this life but the last, the carefree him.

Holding his side he looked around to try and figure out where he was, once noticing he could not do that he just staggered forward and looked back at the note.

'Yes yes come back, I don't know why we didn't finish the note before getting up!! Silly boy.'

That made him laugh out, he really did know himself.

'Anyways, you're just outside of Mystic Falls. I couldn't risk putting you directly in town, those Mikaelsons are pesky mother fuckers.

Our beloved should be around where I put you, she's checking the area. Or should be.

Focus on getting into town first. It should be late enough that they've already checked Mystic Falls and have seen nothing. Once you get home there will be a book under your bed. Spells and all that bullshit.

You'll figure out the rest~

With love and hate

- Ryu '

At the end of the note Ryu found a road that he started to travel down.

Starting to rip the note to shreds he walked down the raod scattering the tiny pieces along the way. He hated litering but if he could ensure no one found this letter he would.

And as much as he wanted to go against his own word and try and find this 'lover' of his he held back. He just wanted to go home. Tears rolled down his face and he tried to remember the faces of his parents.

He wondered how they were, did they miss him? Did they replace him with some other child?

God he really hoped they didn't.

Sighing he looked up and found a littke gas station, grinning he hobbled over throwing the door open.

Practically sobbing he rushed over to the counter where a cashier worked, instantly the man looked worried.

"P-please help me! I've been kidnapped for years a-and I just want to go home!" He fell to the floor crying. Even if he was well into his thirties mentally he still felt as old as he was. "Mystic Falls... th-that's where I lived."

The man nodded, rushing from behind the counter to hold the child as he called the Mystic Falls police station.

He would finally go home... After all these years he'd finally see his family again!

Overcome by exhaustion he passed out in the man's arms, happy and relieved. The most emotion he's felt since he was five years old.
