3 | Origin Story

Third Person's POV:

The two original and the werewolf are inside a burial vault, the only sources of light being the numerous candles that are lit on the walls around them.

"So, Hayley, what brings you here to New Orleans?" Kai asked when he was sure that the witches are out of earshot.

"You two know each other?" Elijah asked, waiting for either of the two to answer.

"We shared a dance back in Mystic Falls" Kai answered for the two of them, the corner of lips slightly lifting to form a smile as he remembered the day that he met Hayley. "Hayley this is my brother Elijah," He introduced his brother the girl he once shared a moment with, "Elijah, Hayley" doing the same to introduce Hayley to his eldest living brother"

"So, have they been holding you here against your will?" Elijah asks as Kai goes lean against a wall, quietly observing the two.

"They lured me out to the bayou and grabbed me. And they did all these... weird witchy tests. Not that I understand how this could happen. I mean, vampires are dead. They can't have children!" Hayley pointed out.

"Perhaps if you knew my brother's story, it might explain how this is possible. Here, if I may."

Elijah attempted to lay his hand on Hayley's temple, only for the werewolf to recoil. "What are you doing?" Hayley voiced out looking at Elijah then swiftly averting her eyes to Kai.

"Relax Hayley, my brother will not harm you, he'll just show you something, that I assume help bring light to your current situation?" Kai explained reassuringly.

Hayley nodded her head, allowing Elijah to touch her head, following Elijah as the vampire closed his eyes.

"In the beginning, our family was human... A thousand years ago,"

(flashback)

"Come, Henrik. Our brothers are fighting again." Young Rebekah beamed to their youngest brother, Henrik dragging her older brother Kai as they pass him on the way to watch Elijah and Niklaus.

The three siblings arrived just as Niklaus gained the upper hand and bested Elijah by cutting his sword holster followed by swiftly pointing his weapon to his older brother.

The pair smiled at each other, until Kai decided to speak, "Niklaus, I commend you for besting our brother, may I test my fortune in besting you?" smiling as Niklaus nodded as Elijah handed his younger sibling his weapon and watched as the two took stance...

"Although our mother dabbled in the dark arts, we were actually just a family trying to survive in a time when it was quite difficult to do so. And, for better or worse, we were happy."

"That is, however, until one night, our youngest brother was killed by our village's greatest threat."

The small village was alarmed when they hear Niklaus screaming for his mother carrying his youngest brother in his arms.

"Mother!" Klaus shouted, Rebekah was the first to come out of their home rushing to her brothers.

"Men that could transform themselves into wolves during the full moon. Our family was devastated, none more than Niklaus. Desperate to protect the rest of us, our father forced our mother to call upon her black magic in order to make us stronger."

Their father, Mikael, sliced the arm of a human in front of his children forcing them to drink her blood, "Drink!", Mikael commanded as he got to Rebekah first, dragging her head towards the bleeding arm to the human woman.
