This is my first time writing fic for Vampire Diaries and not gonna lie, I'm excited. If you like, review! It will be much appreciated. :) I'll try to update often. Enjoy!
10th century
She knew them from the beginning, having been brought up in the same village as them. You know what they say about friendships, friendships live through death.
"I'll be back in a while, mother, I'm going on a walk in the woods!"
"Please be careful, Mikaella, we don't want a repeat of what happened the last time you wandered off."
"It was only a slight scratch from a rose thorn, but I'll be careful, I won't be too long."
I left my small hut and walked through the village to get to the woods. It was a warm, sunny day, perfect for a small trip. This kind of weather rarely happened so I wanted to take advantage of it.
"Where are you heading off to?" I heard a familiar voice say behind me.
"Well if you must know, Elijah, I was going a walk. A day as beautiful as this one cannot be wasted. Care to join?"
"I'll accompany you, and make sure you don't injure yourself like the last time."
I pushed his shoulder. "You know as well as I do that it was only a scratch from a bush."
"If you insist. You've always been stubborn, even when we were children," he chuckled.
" Nothing can change that, Elijah, you and your siblings have tested my stubbornness many times. We're all stubborn to some extent. If anything I might say you're the most stubborn of all your brothers and Rebekah, though Niklaus and Rebekah come in to a close 2nd."
"Is that so? Must I remind you of the occasion when you and I were racing, and you claimed that you had beaten me?"
"I won by three seconds, even Kol agreed that I had won! Someone sounds a bit jealous…"
"Jealous? Of course not, I'm simply stated the facts. If I do recall, Rebekah said I had won by 3 seconds."
"Then it shall be a tie! This way you don't feel you lost, granted I wouldn't have won either." I sat down on a large rock and Elijah followed my lead. The sun had begun to set. I gazed into it and breathed in deeply. "On a different, more serious note, I have a question for you. What if everything-life, civilization- ended tomorrow? This could be the last day of our lives for all we know. How would you spend it?"
"Many things run through that head of yours constantly, don't they? In any case I'm not quite sure what I would do. You're right in that I could die tomorrow and that would be the end if it. I'm not prepared to die. I haven't created a family of my own. I haven't left this village. I haven't done anything now that I realize it. What I have done however is meet a very good friend of mine. That paired with my family are the most important things in my life at the moment."
"Tell me more about this good friend of yours. She sounds heavenly to be around. I bet she's a bit stubborn though, which, if anything, is a positive."
"Indeed she is, but you already knew that, Mikaella."
