The accidental love for an Original brother

Chapter 1

                My screams finally died out but the smell of blood was still hanging in the still air. I had just watched my brother get murdered in cold blood while I cowered in the closet to scared to even breathe. The man who killed my brother, was looking for me. The man who killed my brother wanted me. I should have just gone out there and saved my brother’s life. Once I was sure that the killer was gone, I quietly crawled out of the closet towards the limp, lifeless body that was my brother. I crawled into the pool of blood surrounding my brother’s head. My hands were soon covered in his blood and I was crying my eyes out. I realized I couldn’t sit here and just let this killer get away with murdering my brother. I put my cloak on and pulled the hood over my head so I could protect my hair. Jumping on my horse, I followed him and I rode and rode until I found him.

“ Why… why did you kill my brother? ”

“ You really should stay out of it Jesslyn Marie”

“ No, you tell me why.”

                Instead of an answer, I got a knife to the stomach. I was bleeding out, and quick.

“ Just don’t try anything.”

                As I lay there watching the world for what I thought was the last time, a hooded figure came to me and offered me his wrist.

He said: “ Here, drink this, it will heal you and help you.”

I quietly took the wrist into my mouth and started to drink the warm liquid that was being offered to me. When the figure withdrew his wrist, I felt the heaviness in my eyes and let sleep take over me.

-          Later that night    -

I shot up in my sleep from a terrible nightmare.  Looking around at my surroundings I realized I had no idea where I was.  Swinging my legs over the side of the bed, I didn’t recognize the clothes I was wearing. The gray sweatpants that hung loosely on my hips were about two sizes too big, and meant for a guy. The shirt I was wearing what a mens, white v-neck t-shirt. Moving on from my weird change of clothes, I made my way over towards the door. Opening it so it didn’t make a sound, I poked my head into the hall way. The hallway was beautiful. The color scheme was beautiful and intricate. The red and gold colors went perfectly together.  The wood floors were a deep chocolate brown and shown like the morning sun. Following the noises that I heard and eventually found the staircase. Slowly making my way down to the bottom, a figure appeared at the bottom of the staircase.

“ Hello, I am Elijah Mikaelson. I’m the one who found you and saved you.”

“How exactly did you save me?”

“It’s a long story that I will explain later, when you are more rested. Follow me this way, I will introduce you to the rest of my family.”

I just nodded and followed him.

“ I didn’t catch your name miss. What is it?”

“ Jesslyn, my name is Jesslyn.”

“ Jesslyn, that is a beautiful name, suits you. Well Jesslyn, these are my brothers: Klaus, Kol, and Finn. And this is my lovely sister Rebekah.”

“Nice to meet all of you.”

There was an awkward silence going around the room.

“Just a quick question,  who’s clothes am I wearing?”

“Those would be mine…”

Elijah was raised his hand.

“ I apologize for changing you out of your clothes, but I had to wash yours because they were covered in blood. I should have woken you up and let you change yourself but you were sleeping so peacefully I just didn’t want to wake you up.”

He looked down as if he was ashamed of what he had done for me, which in my mind was actually kind of sweet.

“ It is okay, I find it rather sweet… in all actuality.”

He smiled, and I could feel the butterflies in my stomach.

“I’m going to go and take a shower.”

As I walked to the shower, I was thinking about the one thing that I couldn’t stop thinking about. I think I like Elijah Mikaelson.
