the beginning

Time; 4AM; date; April 12th 1858;

Damon's POV;

I've just woken up from another dreamless sleep I feel like something is missing I've felt like this ever since my mother died. The last thing she gave me was a book about a prince who found himself liking a male peasant.

Father doesn't know of this book for good reason. He would hurt me worse than ever if he found out I didn't like girls. Well I do but I prefer boys.

I quietly got out of bed and walked over to my book shelf to find the book. I looked for a few moments before I found it then creep back to my bed to read it.

As I am reading it I  hear something. I look to my window then scowl. Niklaus is throwing pebbles at my window again. Maybe if I ignore him he'll go away?

I don't know why he is so obsessed with me he always wants to hang out and do things with me. I like him to be fair but sometimes I want time to myself.

Niklaus POV

I hear damon wake up so I find some pebbles and start throwing them at his window. He seems to be ignoring me he does it sometimes. Maybe I'm being overbearing?

After a little he falls back asleep what a jerk I guess I'll show him later when he wakes back up.

I walk back to my brother and sister, Elijah and Rebekah. Who are in the house still asleep so I decide to go down by the lake and finish painting a gift for damon. Ah how beautiful he is, I just can't get enough. *he smiles to himself*

Damon's POV;

I wake up again to hear my father yelling at stefan. I quickly get out of bed and follow where I here his screaming. I hear a loud smack. I run faster. I see my father going to hit stefan again so i jumped in front of stefan and father hits me instead. It stings but I'm used to it.

Father sees me and yells, "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING BOY!?" He looks so furious that I jumped in front of my brother.

"I-I heard you y-yelling at stefan so I came to see what was going on, but you were going to hit him again. Why father what has stefan done?" I started crying. Not because of the burning pain on my face, but for my little brother he shouldn't have to have this happen to him.

"Well boy your brother was sleeping in the garden again!" He looked over my shoulder and pointed at stefan, who looks like a pig that rolled in the mud. "Look at how filthy he is!" He stormed away saying that I need to help him with his bath.

I get him in his bath, and he says, "I'm sorry damon I didn't mean for you to get hurt" as I wash his arms he starts crying. "Hey, hey it's okay stef. I'd rather me get hurt than you" he raps his small soapy arms around me and starts sobbing into my shoulder.

After he was done crying I was able to help clean off all the dirt on him. He did squirm a little when I went to wash his face, but he stopped after a little. I get him rinsed off and get him dried off.

"No more sleeping in your nice clothes okay? And definitely don't go sleeping in the garden" I look at Stefan in the eyes waiting for a answer. "Okay" he looks down at his feet.

Niklaus POV;

I finally finished the painting for damon and it almost looks as gorgeous as him. I find some paper and string and rap it up with a note ofcourse. I walk back to his house. I see him and his little brother playing, so I find a nearby tree and sit by it.
