Prologue
A six-year old girl dashed in the woods in hopes of saving her life. Tears streamed down on her face and scratches can be seen all over her body. She just saw her whole family massacred in front of her own eyes. She couldn't believe that the werewolves betrayed their trust. They believed that the werewolves meant no harm thus resulting to the whole village being massacred with only her as the last remaining person alive. Her mother helped her escape them by giving all her life energy to her—in the form of a necklace- for her to use in this Full Moon where their powers are subdued.
While running for her life, she saw a cave. Quickly she ran towards it and hid herself. She knew that hiding in there wouldn't protect her completely so with shaking legs, she stood f in full her height and closed her eyes. She started muttering words that her mother taught her to put a temporary protection spell on the cave. Once she was done she slumped against the wall and gave in to the darkness.
After the Full Moon, an eight-year old Nikklaus and a ten-year old Elijah went to the woods to gather fire wood for their mother. But Nikklaus wasn't really there for gathering he just wants to stroll in the woods and get some fresh air.
Without Elijah noticing Nikklaus quickly and quietly walked away from his brother. He immediately walked deeper into the forest to the place where there are many caves. Instantly he reached a particular cave that he and his brother liked to play in but something was different. He can see a vague outline of a body of a girl. He went inside the cave and sure enough a girl who looks much younger than he is was slumped against the wall bleeding.
He panicked seeing so much blood. He checked the girl's pulse to make sure she was alive. He sighed in relief as he picked up a slow pulse.
"Elijah!" he shouted hoping that his brother would hear so they can help the girl.
The birds rustled as Elijah picked up firewood and put it in his bag. Noticing that he had enough he spun around to call Nikklaus. But he was greeted by an empty space. He looked around trying to spot him but he couldn't. He walked deeper into the woods knowing that his brother must have strolled in there. While he was walking he couldn't help but think of his brother, the trouble maker.
"Elijah!" he vaguely heard.
His brotherly senses immediately shot up thinking of the worst possible troubles his brother may have encountered. He broke into a run in the woods and saw Nikklaus near their favorite cave covered in blood.
He was immediately by his side checking him for any possible wound.
"What is it? Are you hurt?" he asked frantically. He couldn't help but be worried.
"No," Klaus denied. "But there's that girl in the cave that's wounded. Help me help her," he pleaded.
They both went into the cave and Elijah spotted the injured girl. He went to check for her pulse but a hand stopped him.
"I already checked. She's still alive."
Elijah picked the girl up bridal style. They went back to the village and had her treated.
And since then they've been best friends.
