Reincarnation - Part One || Vampire Diaries

Chapter 9

Edited – 2/6/18

Noah's POV

I wake up to hear my phone chime, I pick it up it was a text from Elena, she wants to me to meet her at the Lockwood Mansion and to tell no one. I got dressed and made my way to the Lockwoods, I walk towards the living room where I hear voices, I find my sister with...Elijah. "Elena, what is going on?" I ask her, "Ah, good you brought Henrik like I asked now I can finish our family history." Elijah said. Well, color me curious, I decide to listen to what Elijah has to say.

"Where was I? Oh, yes I told Elena about how Klaus is our brother." Elijah said to Elena, she looked at me with her eye widen and I just shrug. "There's a whole family of Originals?" she asks "My father was a wealthy land owner in a village in Eastern Europe. Our mother bore seven children." Elijah said. "So, your parents were human?" Elena asks "Our family. Our origin as vampires is a very long story, Elena. Just know...we're the oldest vampires in the world. We are the original family, and from us all vampires were created." Elijah said.

"Right, but Klaus is your brother. And you want him dead?" She asks "I need some air. I'm still feeling a tad...dead. Come." He said. We walk outside with him "So as you've seen, nothing can kill an original. Not fire, not even a werewolf bite. Only the wood from one tree. A tree my family made sure burned." Elijah said "That's where the white ash for the dagger comes from." Elena said. "Yes. The witches won't allow anything truly immortal to walk the earth. Every creature needs to have a weakness in order to maintain the balance." He said.

"So, the sun can't kill an original. Why is Klaus so obsessed with breaking the sun and moon curse?" Elena asks. "Right. The curse of the sun and the moon. It's all so...biblical sounding, don't you think?" Elijah said as he smiles "What's so funny?" Elena asks wait a minute don't tell me? Elijah tells us about how Klaus made up drawings that depicted fake curses, so the sun and the moon curse is fake I know it, then what is the curse Klaus trying to break?

"But if there no curse..." Elena asks "There's a curse. Just not that one. The real one's much worse. It's a curse placed on Klaus." Elijah said "What are you talking about?" She asks "Klaus has been trying to break it for the last thousand years. And you are his only hope." He said. Elena's phone is buzzing "What is this curse?" Elena asks as her phone keeps buzzing Elijah insist that Elena answer her phone she does, "Klaus got to Jenna." Elena tells us.

Elena and I go but Elijah stop me he wants to talk I tell Elena it's alright I stay with Elijah. "So, what did you want to talk about?" I ask "I still can't believe you're alive, Henrik." Elijah said I glared at him "Would stop calling me that, my name is Noah." I said to him "I apologize Hen- I mean Noah. So, do you remember anything?" He asks. "I remember most of my past life the good and... the bad." I said swallowing a lump in my throat. "Henrik, I want to ask for your forgiveness." Elijah said in somber tone I looked at him for a moment "I'll think about it." I said in a sincere tone.

Elena returns from helping Aunt Jenna "Welcome back." Elijah said "Tell me. What is Klaus's curse? Elena said Elijah gesture for Elena to sit. "My family was close, but Klaus and my father did not get along all too well. When we became vampires, we discovered our mother had been unfaithful many years before. This was her darkest secret. Klaus is from a different bloodline. Of course, when my father discovered this, he hunted down and killed our mother's lover and his entire family. Not realizing, of course, he was igniting a war between species that rages until this day." Elijah tells us.

"So, Klaus' Father was from a werewolf bloodline? What does that make Klaus? A werewolf? A vampire?" Elena asks. "He's both. A hybrid would be deadlier than a werewolf or vampire. Nature would not stand for such an imbalance of power. Therefore, the witches, the servants of nature, saw to it that our brother's werewolf side would remain dormant." Elijah said.

"That's the curse that Klaus want to break?" Elena said "He wants to trigger that part of him that's a werewolf. If allowed, Klaus would be able to sire his own bloodline. Build his race. Endangering not just vampires, but everyone." Elijah said. I stopped listening and thought about what Elijah just said, Klaus wants to create more hybrids, he's insane. Elena drops me off at home I decide to call it a night and go to bed.

I woke up the next morning there was a knock on my door Elena comes in and sits on my bed. "I want to talk about yesterday, when Elijah called you by different name and said you are his brother." Elena said I had a worried look on my face "Are somehow related to the originals?" She asks I sighed deeply then nodded yes.

Elena gets up and starts to pace around my room for a minute. "How?" she asks I sigh again "I'm not somewhat related to them, I am related to them. I'm a reincarnation of their dead younger brother Henrik." I said look up at my sister with tears welling up in my eyes "But that doesn't change the fact that you're my sister and that Jeremy is my brother and that I love you both so much." I said with tears running down my eyes. Elena runs towards me and hugs me tightly "I know. I know, I'm sorry Noah for even thinking about doubting you." she said with tears falling down her face.

"I'll protect both you and Jeremy with my magic no matter what." I tell her, I told her everything with me for the past few months, I told her about my dreams, my grimoire, and my slightly creepy nephew. We had a good talk and I tell her she could Jeremy and others if she wants, I don't want everyone especially Damon to think I'm some sort of traitor and think about trying to kill me.

Later I go to the grill to get something to eat I get a table I look over to see Damon, Alaric, and a third guy who's back was turned towards me I look at my menu trying to decide what I'm going to eat when I notice a shadow over my table I look up to see...Klaus. My blood ran cold and I start to tremble with fear, it was Klaus in his body, he looked at me with a smile on his face "Henrik. I can't believe you're alive, just like Theo predicted. I didn't believe him at first but here you are in the flesh." Klaus said. I shallowed a lump in my throat.

Klaus had a somber look on his face "You're afraid of me. I just want you to know you have nothing to fear from me. I would never harm you in anyway Baby Brother." Klaus said, but you are hurting me because you're going to sacrifice my sister for curse you've been trying to break for a thousand years but I don't voice my thoughts afraid of how Klaus would react.

Damon comes over to my table "Is everything alright here baby Gilbert?" Damon asks "Can't you see that I'm talking to my Brother." Klaus said to Damon "Yeah, well it looks like he doesn't talk to you or have anything to do with you." Damon said they both stare down at each menacingly. I sigh then I gather some courage "Will you two stop the alpha male crap, I don't want to start any trouble." I said to them both. Klaus stares at Damon for few more moments then looks at me then he leaves. Damon sits at my table across from me and looks at me for moment "Elena told us about how you're related to the Originals. When Elena told me this my first thought was to grill you for information about the rest the Originals but your sister wouldn't have liked and she would hate forever. Then I saw Klaus talking to you and you were afraid of him." Damon said and I don't answer.

"Will I be able to count on you to protect your sister?" Damon asks what stupid question to ask of course I'll protect Elena. "Stupid question. Of course, I'm gonna protect my sister, no matter what." I said to Damon. I leave the grill after losing my appetite after meeting Klaus, I'm currently walking home I feel a presence behind me I turn around to see, its Theo but before I could do anything everything starts to turns black.
