CHAPTER 1.

1001 AD.

"Niklaus have you met the two new Women who have arrived in the Village? One is a Widow her Husband was killed in battle she has a Child, the Husband's Family have kept him and her and her Cousin have come to live here, the Widow is looking for a new Husband." Rebekah told him eagerly always knowing the Village gossip and sharing it with her favourite Brother, and Niklaus smiled at his Sister and shook his long blonde hair,

"I am not looking for a Wife Rebekah," He replied and Rebekah huffed, 

"Of course you are, you are of Wedded age you could leave this Hut behind, get away from our Father." She advised him.

"And who will protect you, Kol and Henrik from Father," He said looking at her the worry and concern evident on his face, and a look of fear came over her face at the thought,

"Elijah...."

"What if Elijah is taken with one of these Women and he Weds, Finn will do what he can but he only listens to Mother and Finn is too obedient to go against Father on his own, no I will not Wed and leave the Three of you alone with him." Niklaus declared to his Sister, and the look of fear left Rebekah's face,

"Well at least you could meet them and court One of them and if you were to Wed you could bring her to live here and I would have a Sister and you would be here to protect us." Rebekah said solving the issue and Niklaus smiled at his Sister who thought of love a great deal hoping to meet her beloved every other day.

"Sister you are a romantic," Niklaus said sauntering off to the Woods, he loved to get away from the Village as much as possible  and wander through the Woods on his own and came on the fast flowing River and saw a dark haired Woman, she looked up and smiled at him as he approached and he gasped never having seen any Woman as beautiful as her before, her fine pronounced facial bone structure wide full lips, her high sharp cheekbones and wide open hazel eyes, dark shiny long hair that hung in a thick curtain down her slender back, she was stunning,

"Good Morning, Niklaus Mikaelson," And she looked up at the long haired incredibly handsome Man the smile still on her face,

"Good Morning, Andrea Labonair, I am pleased to meet you Niklaus Mikaelson." And Klaus sat down on the log next to her.

"You are new to the Village?" He asked her.

"I am," She replied with a nod, "I came with my Cousin Tatia, we are related on her Mother's side, Tatia is a Widow and her Child was taken in by her deceased Husband's Family, I hate that custom by the way that a Child is property of the Father and the Mother has no rights as to what is best for her own Child," She disparaged gruntled and Niklaus lifted an eyebrow at the feisty opinionated Woman, secretly he agreed with her, but that was not the way of the World, Men owned their Women and their Children, "My Parents were killed in a House fire and I went to live with Tatia when she decided to leave her Village, she could no longer stay having lost her Child, I decided to come with her and now we are to make a new Home with her in the village of Mystic Falls." Andrea told him.

"Mmm," Niklaus said, "My Sister tells me Elijah my older Brother is quite taken with your Cousin."

"Oh yes I have met him you look so different I thought you maybe Cousins," Andrea commented.

"Have you met Rebekah?" Niklaus asked and Andrea shook her head,

"We take after our Mother's colouring, our Father is fair also, my Brother's are all dark haired." He commented.
