The Oldest Mikaelson

ϾHΛPТΞЯ 18 (MΞMФЯłΞS)

12 years old Loki 

"Nik!" Loki laughed as he chased a 3 years old Niklaus. They were playing hide and seek with Finn who was 11 at the time and Elijah 6.

Loki finally caught up with Klaus and spinned him around.
"You did good, Nik, I almost thought you were lost." he grinned.
Niklaus giggled at his older brother. He gave him a soft peck on the cheek.
Loki felt his heart melt.
"I love you, Nik, till the end of the world."
he mummured.
"Lwove you too, bubba."
Suddenly, Loki's smile dropped when he heard the sound of twigs snapping.
He held Klaus protectively, inching his hand closer to his dagger.
"Boy." he heard a voice growl, recognizing it as his father's.
Loki gulped.
"F-Father." he stuttered.
"What are you doing." he demanded.
Loki looked at his baby brother, who did not know what is going on around him.
"We are playing a game, Father." he said calmly, not letting fear show on his face.
"A game? What nonsense?" Mikael sneered.
"You should be a man and train, not doing silly things. Games are for girls."
"Nik wanted to play."
Mikael growled.
"Are you talking back to me, boy? Do you want to get punished?"
Loki grimaced in fear. Last time Mikael punished him, he was beaten for hours until he couldn't walk.
"No, father."

27 years old.

The first time he saw her, Loki did not like Tatia Petrova.

Sure, she was beautiful with her Brown eyes as dark as the soil of the earth and long curly brown hair.
Despite having a child for her husband who died in war, the young widow attracted suitors, including his younger brothers, Niklaus and Elijah.
But Loki did not like her. Hell, you could even say he hated her.
Because of her, his baby brothers' relationship turned sour all because of a girl they both wanted. Loki worried that they would kill each other for her.
He was determined to make it not come true.
So, one day, Loki approached Tatia who was in her hut.
"Tatia." he said.
Tatia smiled innocently that made Loki want to punch her in the face. But he held himself back as he didn't want to he labelled as a woman beater if someone saw him and be hated by his younger brothers.
"Hi! Loki, right?You must be Nik and Lijah's older brother."
She smiled so beautifully.
Loki shook his head. No, he couldn't fall for her act that she's putting on.
"Glad you know me, good. I want you to do something for me."
"Of course." she said playfully.
"Stay away from my brothers. Their relationship is deteriorating because of you."
Tatia stared in pure confusion.
"What are you talking about?" she asked.
"I just came here to warn you."

28 years old.
"Brother! Brother!" 22 years old Elijah Mikaelson bounced in happiness as he called Loki who just came back from hunting, a large deer that they were going to use for the feast that night was slung over his shoulder.
"What it is, Lijah?" he asked, looking at him up and down, wondering what got him exticed.
"Guess what?" he said.
"I don't know, you tell me."
Elijah rolled his eyes.
"Tatia agreed to go out with me. Isn't that amazing?!"
Loki was shocked, anger flashed in his eyes.
A few days ago, he saw Tatia and Niklaus making out and now she had agreed to go out in a date with Elijah. it couldn't be a coincidence.
"What?! " he said. "Elijah Mikaelson, how many times did I say you should stay away from that girl? she is not good for you and Niklaus! shes playing both of you!" he scolded.
Elijah winced at his older brother's scolding.
"B-But, brother, I love her!"
Loki shook his head.
"No, you don't. Both of you don't it is just an infatuation." he yelled.
Elijah was shocked. This was the first time Loki yelled at him.
Loki felt bad about making Elijah sad, but he couldn't let him fall victim to Tatia Petrova. Him and Niklaus.
He would make damn sure of that.

31 years old. 

"Be back soon!" Loki called out to Niklaus who was taking Henrik somewhere. He didn't tell him where, but Loki thought nothing about it.

He was still living with his parents--No girlfriend or a wife and kids.
But it didn't matter, he loved taking care of his younger siblings.
Loki smiled fondly as he shook his head. He walked back to his hut.

Loki was jolted awake by a scream for help.
He recongnised the voice.
It was Niklaus.
Worried, Loki ran out of his hut and what he saw horrified him.
Niklaus was holding Henrik. He was dead.
Loki froze, he couldn't move or speak.
He watched as his other family ran out of their hut, confusion on their face which quickly turned into one of horror as they laid eyes on their youngest's mauled cadaver.
The whole family was devastated by Henrik's death. Not more than Niklaus.
He locked himself in his room for days, blaming himself for taking Henrik to see the wolves transform.
His mother and siblings tried to convince him that it wasn't his fault, but Niklaus didn't beileve them.
The parents desperately wanted to protect their children, so they went to Ayana and asked her to make them immortal, but she refused, because she did not want to upset the ancestors.
So it was up to Esther.
Later that night, After dinner, Mikael handed all of them wine, laced with Tatia's blood and drove a sword through their heart, killing them.
They woke up after a few hours.
"Drink!" Mikael grunted as he pushed the human girl toward his children who stared at him in horror.
They all tried long enough to resist, but the hunger burning their throat was too much, so they drank from her.
The sun that gave them life now burned them. The tree that gave them shade was the end of their immortality. Neighbours closed the door on them.
They stayed inside for weeks until their mother made them rings that can protect them from the sun called daylight rings.
The first time Niklaus killed someone, he broke his curse and was transforming into a werewolf.
He pleaded with his father for help, but the man refused to help him, cursing him and calling him a bastard.
"I knew it! This bastard is not my son."
Loki tried to help, but Mikael stopped him.
"Don't go near the bastard"
"Father, he's still my brother, I have to help him." Loki spoke up bravely against his father for the first time.
Mikael slapped him hard.
"Shut up, boy!" he spat.
Loki glared at the man he hated to the core.
Weren't father supposed to protect their kids? and love them?
"I hate you!" he screamed, shocking Mikael, but the man is good at hiding it.

It was getting worse. Niklaus' screams of agony and bones breaking coated his ears.
He howled as his eyes flashed yellow.
Mikael cussed.
"Bind his werewolf!" he comanded his wife, Esther, who obeyed him immediately and begin setting up the ingredients used for a binding spell.
Loki tried to stop the ritual, but it was too late, Niklaus' werewolf was locked.
