Illuminated Hearts

Before there was tatia, Klaus fancied a simple girl called Caroline. He loved her more than anything else and he knew he had to protect her. So when he and his family became vampires he locked her up in a coffin assigned with a spell until mikael would be dead. But he couldn't bare to leave her in this for so long so he let her out once a century to let her see the beauty of the wo

There he sat, observating this beautifully blonde girl dancing over the grass. Her hair waving with the wind and her sea-blue eyes focusing him. "Come and dance with me, Niklaus."
She smiled brightly and offered her hand to him.
"Not now, love. I'd more like to draw you. But you have to stay still for this."
She stopped in her track. "Niklaus Mikaelson, don't you think you have to move your lazy ass?For once? And for me?" She smiled again and he felt his heart skipping a beat.
"For once." He took her hand and stood up from underneath the tree.

It was then they heard Rebekah scream. It was not like her childish scream when her brothers began to tease her again, no, this scream was full of horror and fear.
"Henrik!" They heard her scream again.
Just as Klaus realized what must've had happened he began to run into the direction and stopped when he saw his brother motionless lying in the arms of Elijah. The Blood was running down Elijahs clothes and not to speak of Henriks..they were stained.
"The wolves.." Klaus whispered.

This was the moment that should be changing their lives forever.

Their parents were discussing over an hour now. Esther wasn't capable of bringing Henrik back and she was convinced that she had to protect the others. She said something about immortality and their father made Rebekah cry. Just the image of being ageless,immortal,fearless scared all the siblings. Kol attempted to kill their father but Elijah and Klaus managed to keep him away.
"You will thank us...maybe not today but in a while." Mikael finally spoke.
"Verily..." Rebekah said quietly, trying not to breakdown again. She didn't want this nor did her brothers. But when their parents wanted something they got it. So it was that Mikael forced them to drink wine...which was mixed with blood.
The first thing Mikael did was cutting Klaus' throat. The other ones could see how much he enjoyed it and how much Klaus tried to get away from his father. Rebekah stood up and headed to the door to escape but Mikael was faster and so she was the second of his children who died. He literally slaughtered them.

Choking he woke up. The whole house was dark but he could see anything very clear. He looked around himself. Everyone seemed sleeping..no they weren't breathing, they were dead. Ordering his mind he remembered everything, Henrik was killed by werewolves so their parents made this insane attempt to keep their other children safe. There was something..he was hungry. And just as called his father entered the house. "Drink!" He yelled at Klaus as he threw a girl infront of him. Her blood flowing from her neck and her wrists. The sweet scent of the blood hit Klaus and he felt his fangs extract from his mouth and he went straight to her neck. The next thing he remembered was, that a unbeliavable great pain shot through his whole body and some bones cracked..then everything went black. The next thing was that he woke up in the wilderness,naked and covered with blood.
