a thousand years| elijah mikaelson

long before the mikaelsons were feared and know as the original vampires, they lived in a small village in norway. the daughter of a fellow viking was close with the only mikaelson sister, rebekah. this was when they were only children. winifred alden soon grew close with all the mikaelsons. after hitting age 17, winifred married elijah mikaelson. they were married up until she turned 21. she had fallen pregnant with elijah's child but mikael had "accidentally" murdered her and his unborn grandchild. elijah along with the rest of his family, was heartbroken.

after being turned into vampires, the mikaelsons had now lived a thousand years, keeping winifred and her unborn child's memory alive between them. but when winifred rises from her death, still baring elijah's child, during the mikaelson ball, none of them can believe their eyes.
