Freak sat up suddenly, she was in a meadow of grass and flowers surrounded by trees.  Beside her were two coffins each a dark woody color.  She felt drawn to them somehow and when she opened the first one she was shocked to find a man with with a dagger in his heart.  So she was dreaming about dead people, she thought.  'Then why does it feel so real'  A voice in the back of her head whispered doubtingly.  She looked at his face and she had to hold back her tears at the betrayal perfectly etched into his expression.  She couldn't help herself and pulled out the dagger.  She moved to the next coffin while she was waiting and opened it up.  A similar man in a way that could've only been brother lay perfectly in the coffin, but unlike the other, his expression was one of depression, not betrayal.  She smiled sadly and pulled out his dagger too.  She lay on the grass next to the coffins and waited patiently, for what she didn't know.  After ten minutes they both took in a deep gasp of breath. The younger looking one was the first one to sit up as he looked around almost curiously. 

"Nik?!" He called out, "I know you're there Nik!" He yelled again.  While he had been yelling his older brother, or so she assumed, sat up slowly and looked around just as the younger did before laying eyes on his brothers angry form.  Freak looked at them curiously before she coughed in pain at her broken and bruised ribs.  There eyes snapped to her form laying on the grass before they got out of their coffins and walked towards her.  The Older picked her up and held her in his arms.  She held back a flinch, but judging by their reactions, not very well.  

"What's your name darling?" The younger asked softly.

"Freak," she answered automatically.  Their faces darkened in anger and she flinched.  Their faces softened again.

"That's not a name silly," The younger frowned, "I'm Kol, and this is my brother Finn, what about you?" 'Kol' asked.

"Don't have one," She said sadly.  Kol frowned while Finn smiled suddenly

"Well, we can't have that how about Kari, because of how innocent and pure you are?" Finn mused.  Kol grinned, "I like that idea!" He smiled, " Kari Mikaelson it is."

"Mikaelson?" Kari asked confused.

"Yes, you need a family name, and whoever you're living with can't have that name, so you can take ours," explained Kol, Smirking.

"You're my family?" She asked hopefully.

"Always and Forever," Smirked Kol

Always and Forever," agreed Finn.
