DENIED OF EXISTENCE

She's a mere memory, however she's a memory one simply cannot forget. Her image is constantly there, somewhere at the back of my skull; as soon as I close my eyes I am haunted of this, burden, I've carried for hundreds of years, the whole story, just tattooed on my eyelids.

Her name was Addison. So distinctive and open minded. Beautiful, although her mind was dark, very immoral, probably received these traits from her mother. Of course when we took Katerina in, I had no idea she was with child, this caused some complications.

I remember that feeling of remorse almost, of course it soon passed off; I was moreover, perplexed.

She didn't even know herself, she had no idea she was carrying a child inside her, this just preoccupied breaking the curse, annoyingly. She knew she was going to die, Katerina, I saw it in her eyes, that sense of fear; however she took it into great acceptance, so it seemed

The child was born, taken away, never to be seen again, the infant was to be destroyed. I couldn't afford to risk the chance of the Petrova bloodline continuing only for history to repeat itself. She was taken away as soon as Katerina gave birth. Katerina objected and refused for her second child again out of wedlock to never be seen again. I remember the child's cry, that painful, throbbing cry she was yelping out whilst being ripped away from the comfort of her mother's arms. If I was human maybe I would've felt maybe an ounce of pain, and changed my mind, except, I wasn't human.

Those eyes, how those purple-blue eyes stared back at me, almost asking me to take her back, so compellingly. The tears streaming down her face whilst her cheeks turned pink and puffy, the short brown tuffs of hair on her head so ragged and messy, she was impeccable.

Something quite ridiculous changed in my mind. I don't know what it was but every ounce of feeling or emotion left inside of me was telling me to set her free, that child, how peculiar.

I sent her away, out of the country; I didn't want the chance of Katerina ever coincidentally bumping into her in the near future to be an option. Katerina escaped of course, her cunning, rebellious mind was too much for my idiot like neonate vampires to overcome, with the help of Trevor, he could simply not deny the beauty of Katerina. Wherever she may have been, was unknowingly of Addison's ever existence; it was all forgotten, never spoken of again, to even of whom it may have concerned.

When she fled I spent hundreds of years running after her, it was like a mad goose chase, except she of course couldn't run and hide forever; she offered out a deal, hand me the moonstone and all of the requirements to break the hybrid curse. I obviously accepted once I was informed they're were now two Petrova doppelgangers, I could no longer use Katerina, she was inconveniently immortal, however I wouldn't let her off lightly, hence the goose chase, I needed to be free of this curse Esther, my own mother, cast upon me, fool.

It was 1510, myself and Kol had just got back from, 'hunting' we we're going to help Rebekah collect some fire wood.

"Niklaus, how could you, you know these people are all innocent!" Rebekah shouted

"You could've at east had the decency to clean up after yourselves and not terrorise others"

"Rebekah, please, we have to feed some way or another, do not fret my dearest." Kol mockingly laughed whilst she gave devilling eyes.

Bekah dropped all of her wood on the ground, and fled home, in which was not really a home at all, rather a hut of some sort.

"Bekah please…" Kol chased after her.

I said nothing, there wasn't any necessary comment needed. I picked up all of the abandoned wood and continued out into the woods.

It was dawn; the skies were still pink from sunrise, the dew of the leaves seeped off onto the dry earth. Mist was surrounding the grounds of the forest. There was silence, except this wasn't the tranquilizing type; it was a painful, noiseless ringing in my ears.

Somewhere, a few trees ahead, there was somebody, treading on branches, they were snapping beneath their feet, I think they must have been trying to keep quiet, god help them if they were playing hide and go seek with a vampire. I couldn't see anyone, or anything except the grand trees standing tall amongst the ground. I suddenly picked up a fragrance. A sweet scent of vanilla almost filled my nose, whilst the wind picked up and blew across my face. A human.

I wandered forward ignoring the beautiful surroundings around me; it was like I was being compelled towards this smell, like a bloodhound after deer.

The mist faded and this mysterious beings image became clear, a girl, only a girl. I was hoping for something more exciting and effort-worthy, than this.

I was just a few feet away from her and she didn't even notice, how foolish and stupid, lesson one, know your prowlers.

I took a step back willing to turn away and return to the forest grounds to continue my exciting adventure of collecting fire wood, I trod on a few leaves, and they crunched beneath my feet.

This young girl flinched and rapidly spun around to face me.

"Erm…" She hesitated, she was nervous, I could see it.

"Sorry to startle you, I'll be on my way" I politely said whilst taking one last look at her pale white skin.

"You may want to endeavour quietly stalking those of my generation." She rudely murmured under her breath.

Unfortunately with my sense being heightened and all I heard her comment, If I didn't know any better she may as well of being asking to be eaten.

I violently swarmed towards her and grabbed her by the neck. She wasn't expecting that, obviously.

"Do not disrespect me you…" I didn't finish.

She was gasping for breath, she looked so confused and helpless in my arms, I could feel her throat tightening between my fingertips. Why were those eyes so sad? I mean I know this wasn't exactly a moment to be happy and ecstatic about, but they were something behind them, more than that, deep inside, so painful and distorted. Those sad, purple-blue eyes. Somehow they seemed oddly familiar. I know these eyes.

I released her, and she was gasping the air greedily. Her face was horrified, so terrorized and scared, whilst she looked right at my eyes a single tear fell from hers. She didn't look twice and she'd already gone.

Some strange fiery sensation filled my body, it burned, I felt it burning.
