The Mikaelson Twin

The Story Of The Original Family

Third Person POV~

In the tenth century, there was a young witch called Esther, she married a Viking warrior, Mikael. After the death of their eldest child Freya, they took their son Finn, and unborn child Elijah and moved to The New World which is now called Mystic Falls, Virginia.

There they had Elijah, however; and saddened by the loss of his eldest child, Mikael ignored Esther. So she started having an affair with the werewolf chief in the village. Upon discovering that she was pregnant, Esther ended the affair.
​
In the winter, a strong baby boy was born, restoring Mikael's hope and happiness. "Niklaus" Mikael said holding the child, then Esther started screaming.

"Mikael, something wrong." she said, and soon after, a baby girl was born. "She's very small. We shouldn't name her yet, she might not make it through the night with this winter." The father said looking at the green-eyed child.

But Esther's friend Ayanna, a fellow witch, looked at the child and spoke, "She'll be alright. She's strong. I can feel the magic coming off her, it's not like ours. She will be a great warrior Mikael, and even more powerful I presume."

Ayanna was correct, though she was small the child survived, so they named her Khione, after the Greek goddess of snow. But her family and close friends; except Mikael, called her by her middle name, Aleksian (Alex-ee-on).

As the years past, Kol, Rebekah, and Henrik were born. Niklaus and Khione became inseparable, they both loved art and music, but two things differed from them.

Khione did magic, they later found when she first was being taught the ways of witchcraft her mother, Kione couldn't do magic of her own, she had to siphon it from something or someone else.

She did magic as she pleased however, because of a pendant of an eagle Esther had given her was enchanted. Or at least that's what her mother told her, in reality, Khione was siphoning herself, and the pendant suppressed her werewolf side.

The other thing was, Khione looked nothing like Niklaus. While he was blonde with blue eyes, she had black hair and green eyes. Esther always claimed it was because of her parents, and that she looked like their aunt Dahlia. But it was later found that she took after her biological father, not their long lost aunt.

Niklaus and Henrik were in awe of the werewolves, so one night, during the full moon, Niklaus took Henrik out of the caves to see how the werewolves transformed from man to beasts. Only Henrik was attacked and killed. Esther and Ayanna did everything they could, but they could not save him. The family was devastated, none more than Niklaus.

Mikael, wanting to make sure none of his children would die. So they asked Ayanna to call upon the spirits, to make them more superior to the werewolves. Where the wolves were strong, they needed to be stronger, where they were fast they had to be faster, bite harder, have better senses.

"I will not. The spirits will rebel against you Esther, you want to create an abomination. This is the begging of a plague. You already have an abomination of a witch daughter. The spirits will turn on you." as Ayanna refused, it was up to Esther to call upon black magic.

She called upon the ancient white oak tree for immortality and the sun for life. Mikael laced wine with blood that night, and stabbed each of his children through the heart with his sword. When they awoke, some were forced to drink the blood of a human girl, others did it willingly.

For every strength, nature provided a weakness. The sun burned their skin, so Esther created rings that allowed them to walk in the sun, they could not enter peoples homes without being invited in, the flower that grew at the base of the white oak tree harmed them and prevented compulsion, and the wood from the white oak tree could kill them.

So Khione sought to burn it to the ground. But what their parents didn't expect, was the need and hunger for blood.

After making their first kills, Niklaus and Khione triggered their werewolf curse. Mikael was furious, he killed half the village, including the werewolf with whom Esther had an affair with. Mikael forced Esther to bind Khione and Niklaus' werewolf sides. But after that, they all realized something. Because Khione was not a normal witch, she kept her magic.

More than a thousand years of running from Mikael, and searching for a way to break the curse, there was a new doppelganger named Elena. That is where this story begins...
