Hi everyone, this is my first story here, I could not get this idea out of my head and wrote this chapter at about 4 O'clock in the morning. It's a time travel fic, I hope you guys like it, please review and let me know what you think.

1st of July 2016

Damon ran into the room "Where is he? Where did he go?" he asked Elena who was stood staring at a scorch mark on the wall.

She looked up at Damon "He's gone back, he used the device, he jumped… Caroline and Bonnie jumped in after him, by the time I got there the portal had closed"

Damon stood looking at the scorch mark on the wall with a dark expression on his face "Then there's nothing we can do, it's up to them now"

1st of August 2012

It had been exactly a month since the new vampire had come to town, a vampire older and stronger than any known. A meeting was called at the Salvatore house after The Grill was blown up, with Tyler inside.

Damon, Stefan, Elena, Matt, Bonnie, Jeremy, Caroline, Klaus, Rebecca and Eliah were all sat in the Salvatore sitting room discussing the events of the past month.

"We have to find a way to stop him" Elena said to no one in particular

"We need to know more about him first, we don't know anything, not even a name!" replied Bonnie, it had frustrated them since the beginning. This vampire just turned up from out of nowhere and started attempting to kill any and all of them.

"He is old, older than any vampire I have ever met" Rebecca said staring at the floor, she knew the implications of what she was saying, but didn't quiet know how to say it.

"How is that possible?" Stefan asked "You're the originals, the original vampires"

"We are the originals of our kind, yes" Elijah spoke for the first time that evening "But there were myths even before our creation, there was a story our mother used to tell us when we were children, Niklaus you know the story better than I, please retell it for all here"

Klaus looked up at his older brother, he too had not spoken all evening preferring to stay quiet, this was most unlike him but truth be told this new vampire had spooked him. He looked at the crowd gathered and began his tale "It is said that many, many years ago there was a family, this family lived far from any type of civilisation, in the middle of woodlands. The family consisted of a mother, a father and three siblings, two male, one female. One day during the eldest child's seventh summer he grew ill, it was not long before his siblings also caught the affliction that befell him. Their parents however remained quiet well; but they knew that their children were not long for this world. Seven moons had passed since the first sibling fell ill, when on that night the father was visited by a demon. This demon offered the father a way to save his children and ensure that they will never again fall ill. Of course the father took it without hesitation, the demon told him "Send your children into the woods tell them to walk until they can walk no more" and then he was gone. The father did as he was told, that morning he sent his children into the woods and told them to walk until they could walk no more, the children did as they were told, they set off separately, walking through the woodlands, after several hours the eldest child came upon a cave, feet bleeding and soaked through from rain, he walked inside. Inside he found seven vampire bats, he was bitten by the bats thus the first vampire was born. The second child walked and walked until his feet bled, the blood seeping from his wounds attracted the attention of many creatures, amongst them a pack of wolves, 7 in total an old silver backed wolf among them, this wolf bit the child thus the first lythrope was born. The third child, the only female walked and walked and walked, she felt no pain, did not need sustenance, her limbs did not tire, she did not bleed thus the first immortal was born. The vampire and werewolf child returned to their parents, shortly after the vampire child, not being able to control himself around humans bit and drained their mother. Then that night the second child turned, as a wolf he tore his father's throat out. It is said the third child, the immortal, is still walking the earth doing as her father had asked her"

Klaus finished his story and looked up at his audience, all were silent, heads bowed. "so you see" said Elijah "If this myth is true then perhaps we are not as original as we thought"

"So your saying this guy, the one that wants to kill us for no apparent reason. May just be, The Original Vampire, older than old, stronger than strong, faster than fast, Dracula kinda deal" Damon said from his position leaning against the fireplace.

"It's a possibility, yes" Said Elijah, stood as always like a statue with his hands firmly at his back.

"Great, just great. Cause we don't have enough problems" Damon said, flicking his gaze to Klaus' position on the sofa next to Caroline.

"I hope that was not directed at me Damon, I'm in a rather helpful mood at the moment, would be a shame to spoil things" Klaus replied without turning to face him.

"Oh come on Nikie you know as soon as this is over, and this vampire SOB is dead you'll go back to being good old, what should I do today, oh I know I'll try and kill a Salvatore Klaus"

Stefan rolled his eyes and prepared to fight if necessary, the trouble my brother causes he thought.

"Do Not Call Me Nikie! I think I may just have to kill a Salvatore before we kill the original vampire" Klaus replied while standing and facing Damon.

"Ohh think I hit a nerve" Damon said, standing straight, a move his brother recognised as him preparing himself for a fight.

"Come on guy, we are supposed to be working together here!" Rebecca said

Damon and Klaus stood staring at each other as everyone else yelled in the background about how much they disliked each other.

"Enough!" Klaus yelled "We are the originals, they are none before us, therefore it stands to reason that this vampire is nothing more than a normal everyday vampire, which we have never had a problem with killing before"

"Niklaus, surly you can see this is no normal vampire" Elijah replied staring at his brother in shock, they know, this is no normal vampire, they have known since he was seen walking out of the fire that had engulfed the grill, with not so much as a scorch mark on him.

"We are the originals Elijah; I am the most powerful being on the face of this planet and THAT IS HOW IT IS GOING TO STAY!"

Just then the front door of the Salvatore mansion slammed open and in walked Caroline, everyone stared in shock looking between the two Caroline's.

There were clear differences, even though Caroline was a vampire it was obvious the Caroline who stood looking at them all was older and wiser than the one who was sat on the sofa.

"Shut up Nik! Seriously you have all this going on and your hurt that your ego's taken a kicking!" Caroline said staring at a stunned Klaus.

So what do you think? I'll post the next chapter tomorrow hopefully.
