Chapter 8: Ordinary People

Alaric, Elena, and Samathea walk through the tunnels in that order, flashlights in their hands, "So these Lockwood had no idea these tunnels are underneath their property?" Elena asks, "Seems so." Samathea answers her. "Careful where you shine that thing, Bats hate the light." Alaric tells them and they both stop and look at him "Wait, what?" Elena asks him.

"Sammy..." a voice whispers out, Samathea suddenly turns and shines the light at Damon, "Boo." he said, Samathea jumps with a gasp, then smacks Damon's shoulder, Elena turns and looks at him, "God Damon, not cool," she tells him. "Scary cat," he said with a smirk. "Just ignore him, it's what I do," Alaric tells her. Elena nods and Samathea turns and looks at her, "So you two really can't get in?" she questions them both, they shook their head, "No, seems that the ancient Lockwoods put anti-vampire." Damon tells her and they both walk off, "What does he mean ancient?" Elena asks Samathea, she shrugs. "Go see for yourself," she answers and they both followed after him.

"Well, this is as far as I and Sammy get to go." Damon tells them and the two walk pass them, But Elena turns to Samathea, "Why can't you get pass again?" she asks her and Samathea shines a light on the rune next to the invisible wall, "That's why." she answers, "Uh-huh." Elena mumbles, then look around, found a rock and started to rub it again the rune drawn on the wall.

The three watch her and as the run was gone, Elena looks at Samathea, she exhaled and took a step in, the invisible wall was gone and she stood next to Elena, "Have I ever told you that you're the best sister in the whole world?" Samathea asks her, Elena smirks and shrugs. "Once maybe twice." she answers dropping the rock, Samathea laughs and walks into the cave, then shines her light on the walls, "Oh wow," she mumbles, looks at the pictures.

"What is all this?" Elena asks, "Well as far as I can tell, it's a story, in simple archeological terms, I would say, really really old story." he tells them, the twins just look around. Alaric then shines the light on a crescent moon, "That right there is a moon cycle." he tells them and the two look over, "The man and the wolf." he tells them, "Werewolf." Samathea said switching hands. "Yeah, it's the Lockwood dairies, Pictionary stuff." Damon tells her, but Elena turns to Alaric, "I don't understand, I thought the Lockwoods came here with the original founding families in the 1860s." she said to him.

He exhaled and pulls the bag over his shoulder, "Maybe they did. According to these walls, these werewolves have been here a lot longer than that." he tells them and then Samathea turns to him, "Just how long are we talking?" Samathea asks him. "Long, and it gets better, show them, Ric." Damon tells him, the two turn back to the wall and Alaric shines the light on it, "Names and they're not native, they're written in Runic, a Viking script." he tells them and then looks back at the names.

"Vikings?" Samathea and Elena ask him, "This name here, I translated it and it reads, Niklaus." he tells them, and the two look at him in shock. "Klaus," Samathea mumbles, Damon nods. "And the one next to it, Serena," he adds and Samathea was even more surprising. "And Elijah and Rebekah," he tells them and they were both shocked, the Originals came from here 1000 years ago.

~Flashback~

Rebekah was in the cave along with Klaus as he was holding a torch and Rebekah was carving her name into the wall. "Rebekah, let me have at it." he tells her, "Quiet Niklaus, I must have my concentration if I am not to slice off a finger." she informs him, "Father would not like you handing a blade," Klaus tells her and Rebekah stops and looks over her shoulder.

"If I want to weld a blade, I shall wield a blade, father need not know." she tells him and went back to carving, "He will find out, he always does." he warns her and she turns to him, "That is because you always tell him." she said walking in front of him, "I can not help it, he frightens me." Klaus tells her, "He frightens us all." she tells him, he looks to the ground, "That is why we must stick together as one, always and forever." she said to him and he kept his eyes on the ground, "Right, brother?" she asks him, he smirks and looks at her, "Right." he answers, "BOO!" a new voice said from behind him, they two both jump with yelp and turn to the person behind them.
