Hello everyone, I'm Elijah Mikaelson. I was named in honour of my uncle, my father is the one and only, Niklaus Mikaelson. Hope and I are twins, but not many people knew that I was the older sibling by 5 minutes.

Both Hope and I are tribrids, but I was born different than other kids. I'm intersex and I have more XY chromosomes than XX. So of course everyone thought I was a boy when I was born.

People say I'm exactly like my uncle Elijah, proper and a gentleman. Well, I learned from the best, so what can I say. My family says I'm going to be a great guy one day, but I have doubts. I don't know if I'm going to be alive by then.

Don't get me wrong, I want to have kids and an amazing wife that loves me and all that, I just don't know if I'm going to live past my 20th birthday.

When I was 13, I went with my aunt Freya on a trip to Seattle. We were sightseeing and shopping for herbs and stuff for spells. While we were sightseeing, we were overlooking the city on the top of the Space Needle. I guess I wanted to feel the wind on my skin, so I went through an open window or something and I ended up hanging from a ledge.

The next thing I know, I was waking up in a cold dark place. I started shaking and a bone in my arm broke. I knew I triggered the curse and that I had to get out of there, or I would have died during transition inside of the box in the morgue.

I bursted through the metal doors and the bones in my legs started breaking. I somehow got out of the hospital and I ran to the nearest alley, so people wouldn't freak out by seeing a kid turn into a wolf. I completely transitioned and I started to get nervous. I found a metal lid of some huge box or something, and I could see myself or rather my wolf.

For a second I thought I was going to be grey or white, because my mom was greyish. But the only thing I saw were two glowing red orbs starring back at me. That's when I realized I had pitch black fur and wicked red eyes.

I was looking and starring at myself for a while when I heard a noise coming from the street. I hid and got low to the ground. Then I heard a voice, a voice that I've heard since I was a child and I peeked behind the dumpster. The voice said, "Elijah."

I saw my aunt Freya and I debated whether I should go to her or stay were I was. I didn't know if I was going to hurt my aunt or not, so I layed down and started whining. Aunt Freya came into view and smiled.

"You're okay, I'm here. Hey Eli, have you seen yourself. You're all black." Aunt Freya said. I lifted my head a little and nodded. She gave me a confused look, and asked a question in a weird tone of voice. "You can understand me? You can understand what I said?" I nodded my head again and she smiled so big, I thought she was in pain from grinning so hard.

"You just transitioned and you accepted your wolf already?" And I nodded my head, yet again. Aunt Freya was smiling and we ended up going back to the hotel, where we were staying. I was shocked people didn't scream when they saw a wolf, but I guess they just thought I was a dog.
