Always

Chapter 1

DAHLIA POV:

I'm known as Dahlia Swan, but that's not my last name... no I'm a Mikealson and I'm proud of my last name but in constant peril because of it, it's why I had to move in with Charlie Swan and Renee in the first place, sure hes my biological father and I love him but my family are in New Orleans and I miss them, some more than others, i have a half sister Bella Swan but I also have three other sisters well aunts technically but were more like sisters we even have our own always and forever sure it may be a little copyrighted but Bex, Nik and Lijah don't mind in fact its "cute" according to them.

Hope Mikealson my mum is closest to the adults so she's never really hung out with us kids before so she has no idea how crazy we get, in fact now that I think about it she doesn't talk to alot of people anymore, we all try to make conversation but Hayleys death sent her spinning into a hole of depression.

*FLASHBACK 7 YEARS AGO*

A screech ripped from my mum's throat as she fell to her knees, tears in her glossy eyes, my great Uncle Finn now lay slaughtered as an inferno blazed on top of his ashy skin, the only remnant of him now a memory.

The own woman I was named after has now come to end us unless my mum, aunt Freya, Lexi, Nova and I are placed in her possession, this is not the woman great grammy Esther told grandpa Nik about, it couldn't possibly be, but yet again immortality can make you vain.

As my mother (Hope Mikealson) charged at evil Dahlia, she muttered a curse under her breath forcing my mother to her knees once again, Hope was shrilling and in tears as every bone in her body snapped at once revealing her beautiful white wolf for a glorious moment, the peace was short lived as evil Dahlia once again muttered a curse "Delfan Eoten Cor" Hope Mikealsons white wolf now had a huge gaping hole in her fur slowly staining her coat crimson red with her own blood, my mothers heart in the evil ones hand literally, as my mothers wolf form fell to the floor I couldn't not notice the fact that she hasn't shifted back... as I stared on in horror at the gory scene unfolding from behind the pillar I was hiding.

My great uncle Elijah attacked the evil one, he seized hold of her only to jump back in pain as blood flowed out his every pore ( In the Mikaelson household it is a well known fact that Hayley Marshall and Elijah Mikealson are MADLY in love ergo Hayley couldn't stand by as Elijah bleed) Hayley ran out and bit the evil one only to have her heart be stolen from her chest, she fell as her blood ran cold.

I couldn't just watch as those I love were dropping like flies, so I took a shaky breath stepping into the light with the dagger (the only weapon that can kill the evil one- Aunt Dahlia) clasped behind my back.

"Ahhh see it wasnt that hard now was it one in transition, one willing, now Freya, Nova, Lexi where are you my dears?" the evil one said her voice sending shivers down my spine, but the only thing that scared me more than handing myself over was the thought of any more Mikaelson blood being shed.

"Auntie Dahlia?" I asked like a timid little child, I was 10 but if I wanted to get close I would have to play little lamb naive and unaware of any danger of the lion that stood in front of me. "Why are you hurting mummy? And gram grams?"

She looked at me and for just a second I swear I could've seen her mask slip but she quickly recovered... slightly.

"Dear, your mother will wake up better than before. I'm just helping you, okay, you need to trust me I'm trying to save you from the people you call family, they are evil, they're trying to hurt you, look at what Elijah did to you're poor grandmother, dont worry im making him pay."

I nearly snorted and it took everything in me not to roll my eyes, hey I'm a Mikealson we grow up in battle you need attitude to survive I mean look at Finn bland and dead, the most dangerous thing he's ever done is be the barbeque currently rotting in the corner.

"I-I-I trust you Auntie Dahlia, c-can I hug you for saving me?"

"No, I dont hug." and just like that the semi smile was gone off her face, I need to step up my game.

"Grammy used to hug me, how could he do that to her?!" I practically screamed, pointing an accusing finger at a bloody Elijah, tears streaming down my face like water fountains, while the rest of the Mikealsons were too stunned to speak, Bex knew how to play victim and oh how proud she was to see her skills being passed on.

"Ugh fine one hug" the evil one spat the response out so quickly it was as though it was poison.

"Thank You I love you Auntie Dahlia" I nearly threw up that was the most horrifying thing i've ever heard let alone said, I wrapped my arms around her waist and clutched the dagger before plunging it the hardest I could with the most strength I could muster into the evil one, directly behind her heart, heaven hope it hits its mark.

And as the evil one's arms fell off my back and to her sides, her lifeless eyes rolled back into her head as she fell to the floor, that bitch deserved more than just death may she rot in hell for what she has done to Hayley and Finn, even my mother and Elijah one lost a mother and will awake as a tribrid, the other lost more than a love he lost a soulmate.

As I glanced around I saw Maya forcing herself out from the room she hid inside, as she crawled over to one of the bodies scattered over the floor I observed, as she dropped down to cradle her mothers soulless body.

I carefully slid in next to her pulling her in for a much needed hug as she lay her head on my shoulder, her ice cold tears soaking my blouse but I didn't say anything to comfort her... I couldn't say anything she had just lost the one person she loved the most, Lexi, Bianca and even Nova slunk over each joining the hug embracing Maya, the thing about us Mikealsons is we will kill and die for each other (that is if we aren't to busy killing each other ourselves) and thus on that fateful day always and forever part two featuring the daughters of Rebekah, Kol, Hope and Elijah who never felt like aunts and niece they felt like best friends... like sisters was formed.

That night in Mayas room lying on her bed Dahlia swore "Ill always be there for you" and Bianca carried it on "me too." next Lexi piped in "me three". "Promise?" "Always and forever" they replied in unison and from that day forth there fates were forever entwined with the promise of love.
