Loki Mikaelson (Book One)

Chapter Two: Broken

I sighed in exasperation as little three year old Rebekah clung to me like a rope, climbing my legs like a monkey.  I was now fifteen now, and I was watching Rebekah, whom I grew to love just like the others, while Father was out hunting with the other boys and Mother was in the Market.  I was put in Rebekah duty as I already had experience with hunting.  Speaking of the boys I chuckled as they all rushed inside the house, only slowing once their father yelled at them.  Throughout the years Mikael had only gotten harsher until seven year Niklaus was being beaten.  I took as many punishments as I could by taking the blame or getting in the way, but sometimes I just wasn't there.  I embraced each of my siblings sneakily so that Mikael wouldn't notice I was still treating them like Children instead of men like he was.  Mother arrived home soon after and cooked the hunt that Mikael and the boys caught, before announcing she was pregnant for the last time.  Soon we sat at the table, ate and celebrated.  It was going to be a long couple of years.

-time skip age twenty eight-

The years had indeed been long, and I was a grown man now with six younger sibling with the youngest being only twelve going on thirteen.  Little Henrik was quite the troublemaker, but he was better then Kol who was always fooling off.  I kept my promise though, even when Elijah and Niklaus fought over Tatia and she sat there, goading them along, making me want to kill her.  I refrained from killing her because that would cause unnecessary conflict and it would hurt my brothers most of all.  Niklaus looked for my approval constantly, and I gave it as much as I could, as he now saw me as his father figure as Mikael wasn't a very good one.  I soon began to despise my parents, despite the love I once held for them.  Elijah did not grow up to be boring at all, he loved having fun with Niklaus, but he was still a gentleman underneath everything.  We grew out our hair, like was proper even though I wanted to cut mine, secretly.  Finn had grown as I did, I surprisingly he despised our parents almost as much as I do, but he was more subtle then me, following them around like a puppy so that he could take their attention off of his other siblings, when he needed to.  He grew into an amazing sibling, yet despite my best efforts, this family may have been doomed after all.  

It was the full moon and I was resting my head when Henrik came up to Niklaus and they agreed to go see the men turn into wolves, I attempted to stop them, but they ran off, so I followed suit, following them to protect them.  I watched as the men turn into wolves, but suddenly, Henrik tripped and before I could react, The wolves pounced,  I killed them with my sword, but once I looked, I realized it was already too late.  Henrik Mikaelson was gone.  

Tears streamed down my face, as I carried him back to our house, Niklaus following along, guilty and heartbroken.  As soon as we neared the house I yelled for help, despite knowing it was futile.  Esther came out along with the rest of the family.  Ayanna followed from her house as well.  Esther tried every healing spell she knew, but in the end it was pointless.

"Is there nothing we can do to save him!?" cried Esther desperately to Ayanna. She shook her head sadly and Esther let out a cry of agony.  The next couple of days we mourned and soon, Mikael and Esther proposed a toast.  We drunk to family and Henrik before father shoved a sword through Niki's chest shocking us.  We tried to run, but Mikael slaughtered each and every one of my siblings before finally my vision went black as I died.

When I awoke I felt a deep hunger inside of me, like I was dying of hunger.  Mikael handed us a woman to feed on, and I resisted the longest out of all our siblings, before giving in.  The blood was divine despite my guilt, and I drunk every last drop, eventually killing the girl.  When my siblings went to feed more, I followed them to make sure they were safe, despite their new invincibility I was still worried.  Suddenly as Niklaus killed a poor man from drinking him dry, he fell to the ground as his bones started to snap.

"Brothers, help!" He cried out.  I immediately moved forward to hug him comfortingly, knowing immediately what was happening.  Another bone snapped and continued to until Mikael cam over towards us, realized what was happening and cried out. "Abomination!" I immediately sent him a glare while Mikael and Elijah ran away as Niklaus shifted into a wolf.  I never left his side once despite knowing he was dangerous in this form.  I knelt down next to the wolf and bowed my head and submission, to show I meant no harm.  The Wolf finally barked in happiness and cuddled into me, before running off to hunt.  

For the next month Mikael and Esther fought until the full moon came and they headed out of the house and towards Niklaus.  I attempted to stop them, but Mikael held me back harshly by the arms, while Elijah was ordered to tie Niklaus up.  I struggled furiously trying to change history, and struggled harder when Niklaus screamed in Agony.

"Niklaus!" I shouted trying to escape my fathers arms.  He finally let me go, but it was too late.  Niklaus was cursed.  While Elijah and Mikael left I stayed and watched as Niklaus killed our mother in satisfaction.  I walked up to him and placed my hand on his shoulder.  He looked at me in guilt and hopelessness expecting me to avenge our mother.

"Niklaus, you did what you had to do, and I will never judge you for that.  She deserved it after what she had done to you!?" I reassured before snarling in rage at the end.

Father came towards us with a White Oak stake in his hand and a dagger in his belt, lunging at Niklaus to kill him.  I stepped in front grabbing letting the stake plunge into my hand as I held them in the way.

"You want to defend this monster boy, then be my guest, he pulled out a dagger that I immediately recognized and was confused upon seeing.  It was a white oak ash dagger, and I assumed they hadn't been invented yet.  Because of my confusion, I couldn't dodge the strike in time and I felt my heart literally stop beating is the dagger plunged into it, I felt darkness creep into me as I turned to look at Niklaus, wanting to say so many things to my little brother who I loved so much, and I wouldn't see until I was undaggered, and there was no telling how long that could be.  So I told him what I could while my body slowly desiccated

"I love you so much brother," I gasped out in pain, "always and forever, alright," He nodded tears in his eyes, I almost rolled my eyes as Mikael looked ready to kill Niklaus again, "RUN!" I yelled at him, making him vampire speed away.  That was when darkness overtook my vision.

3rd POV

Niklaus came and told everyone what happened, making them heartbroken, Kol and Finn Scattering to mourn, and Elijah and Rebekah staying with Niklaus as they repeated their promise that Loki always told them to.

"Always," Began Rebekah tearfully, "and Forever," she finished with a sob, as she held her brothers hands.  

As the years passed and they turned many people into vampires, they discovered the Brotherhood who brought about the White Oak Ash Daggers, making them have hope that their brother was still alive.  When the Mikaelson children lost their older brother Finn went into depression wishing to join his brother in death, Kol started killing anyone who so much as looked at him the wrong way and became a psychotic maniac, while Elijah and Niklaus felt it was their duty to protect the family, each having different ways.  Niklaus hid them in boxes so that no one could hurt them or find them, while Elijah always stopped them from going to far.  Rebekah fell in love with love thinking she could find someone who could fill the whole that her older brother left.  The Mikaelson Family was fractured, and when they continuously searched for their brother only to find from Mikael that he staked Loki after he was subdued, they became broken.
