Eternal Love (a Niklaus Mikaelson Love Story)

(Title picture from vampirediaries.alloyentertainment.com)

My name is Lillian Merctary (Mers-tery) and I am a vampire. I am over 150 years old (I am 52 in the flashback), I have flawless skin, emerald green eyes, scarlett lips and blonde, wavy hair that is halfway down my back and has light brown streaks.

*Flashback to 1892*

"Hi, oh um, sorry," I apologized, smiling shyly. I had just bumped into a boy in the halls of Jirdina High School, who had dropped his text books and I bent down to help pick them up.

"It's okay," He said. Then he frowned as the bell went.

"I'd better get to class," He said, hurrying off.

"By the way, my name is Lillian!" I shouted after him.

He stopped in his tracks and turned to face me. "My name's Niklaus!" He called. Then he spun around and ran to his next class. I hurried to mine too.

I worked out his last name when I saw him writing on the football volunteer list and I read the list after he left. Mikaelson. His last name was Mikaelson. I pondered over his full name. I had never heard one like it, except in my history books. I was pretty sure it was an old fashioned name. People used it before I was born.

I looked through old names in a book in the school library and found the one I was looking for. Ah. It originated in about the year 1020.

*Back to the present*

I never forgot my crush. I never got a boyfriend after that, no matter how many flirted with me. I had hope that I would see him after I graduated, but like most of my dreams, it never came true. Oh, an then I became a vampire.
