Chapter 1

In the beginning we were eight. A sister and a brother died before the rest of us were made into something new. Something better, stronger, faster and immortal. The six of us became the original vampires known as Flinn, Elijah, Niklaus, Rebekah, Kol and me Bjorn. We were made into vampires by our mother, a witch. It was supposed to be a blessing that quickly turned into a curse. For all she wanted to do was make us stronger to survive the dangers of the world. Ironic then that we would end up being a danger to the world. That the world would need saving from us, for we would became creatures in the night hunting humans for their blood to survive. Killing our prey and enemies without hesitation. Spreading fear wherever we went and leaving destruction in our wake. We turned other humans into vampires, at first by accident and later by design. They sired their own vampires and so on. The vampire population grew and with it more human blood spilled. Vampires fought amongst themselves and others causing endless death and destuction.

After a thousand years of living our legacy seems to be choas, an endless pile of dead bodies and a thousand years worth of enemies. So while our mother made us vampires in the end it was time that made us monsters.
