23 parts Ongoing MatureVivienne Forbes has always been the rock for everyone around her. She has loved fiercely, to the point where the ones she cared for most have hurt her the most. She's longed for the love of a father-just a bit of validation, consideration, or even empathy. That's all she ever wanted. The love she feels for her family is unexplainable; she would kill for them, and be killed by them.
But now, she doesn't let people in. If they don't know her, they can't hurt her. She's learned the hard way that the greatest betrayal often comes from those you love most-the ones you trust, the ones you let in.
When he enters her life, it's going to be a sight to see.
Niklaus Mikaelson is a man who takes what he wants. Vengeful, manipulative, and ruthless, he will stop at nothing to achieve his goals and remove anyone who stands in his way. He has a reason for everything he does, and while it's driven by selfish motives, there's a fear behind it all.
Klaus is also a skilled artist, often seen sketching in his spare time. Rather than showing love to those he cares about, he uses fear to ensure their loyalty. He believes no one will ever choose to stick by his side, so he forces them to stay.
What the world calls evil, he sees as an appropriate response to a harsh and unfair world. Cruel, powerful, narcissistic, and manipulative-yes. But Klaus is also compassionate, lovable, and deeply emotional, even if he refuses to let anyone see that side of him.
"Love is a vampire's greatest weakness. We do not feel, and we do not care."
Will this saying change when their worlds collide? Will he push her away, or will she break down the walls he's built over thousands of years? Will she let him in? Will he be there for her when she rises? Is she his salvation or his demise? Neither of them knows yet, but one thing is certain: their souls are already intertwined.
