AUTHORS NOTE: FINISHED STORY:-Hey guys! First TVD fanfic:D Basically I know it's only 8 chapters long and it has finished but knowing me if i would have had it like 10 or more chapters i think it would have sort of trailled off and got really boring and details would be blunt. So I hope you like it and look out for more TVD fics!:D

The Awakening

Living with a compelled family never made me feel loved! I'd get what I wanted when I wanted and I could always do what I wanted whenever I wanted. Any girl would have dreamt for that kind of life, but not me. I wanted to experience all the arguments, tears and happy memories that any normal family would.

Klaus was the one who had compelled my family. We had fallen in love n 1503 when I was just thirteen. After that he disappeared, no word no nothing he had just vanished I always questioned if it was real love. I knew it was. He wanted my bloodline to go on. It was 1506 and I had just turned sixteen when I gave birth to my children Mackellar and John. My own Son and daughter! Child birth was too much for me, It made me feel like death. In the afternoon I scoured into in search for some bread and fresh water for myself. I hadn't any money so I stole a slice of bread. The owner of the bakery came chasing me with a sword and when I thought I had gotten away Klaus grabbed me. He Starred into my eyes "Elizabeth."

"Klaus." I said as my heart pounded. I then knew my love for him was real. We locked lips and passionately kissed, his vampire speed throwing me up the tree, on the ground. It was magical. It was about to get serious when the man from the bakery caught up with us. Klaus took my hand as we flew through the air. We ended up outside a Bulgarian church. He kissed me cheek. "Always and forever my love." He said forcing me his blood. He was going to turn me into a vampire. I tried getting away from him but I couldn't! He had me grasped tightly. "Elizabeth, my love. I love you with all my heart, I want to be together with you forever." He cried kissing me on my hand, then up my arm to my neck and he drank from me. He drank, and drank and drank until I felt nothing and I blacked out. I'd woken a vampire and there was a gold double strapped beaded embellished bracelet and one of the gems had the words 'My love' engraved in it. Soon enough I had found out it was allow me to walk in the sunlight. I decided my life ambition was to search for my mother. Katerina Petrova.
