Adelaide POV:
Nothing. I saw nothing. All I see is darkness. That is all I have seen for many years. I do not know how long. In this blackness, I relive my life over.
Mystic Falls, The Middle Ages, 973 AD
Two small 5 year old blonde headed girls are playing a field of daisy's while some of the other siblings play nearby.
"Bekah, look" One small headed girl held up a daisy headband she had created
"It is beautiful" The girl, 'Bekah' replies. The first blonde haired girl smiles happily, having someone appreciate her work. She starts to pick another daisy but is stopped when she is lifted into the air. The unknown person who grabbed her, has her by the waist and her feet are off the floor. The girl giggles, already knowing that the assailant is her brother. She giggles loudly as her brother spins her around.
"Nik. Release me" The girl giggles out and Nik lets her down. Dizzy, she falls to the floor, still a ball of giggles. Nik sits down next to her and she picks a daisy before passing it to him
"Thank you Adelaide" Nik thanks
"You are welcome Niklaus" Adelaide smiles. At sundown, the children begin to walk back to their house. The three brothers, Finn, Elijah and Niklaus, race each other back whilst Rebekah and Adelaide calmly walk after them. Once the reach home, the three boys stay outside but the girls walk to the door. Esther, their mother, walks out to greet her children
"Hello children." Esther greets
"Hello mother" All the children reply in unison.
"Adelaide, you dirtied your best dress" Esther sighs
"I know, I'm sorry mother. I did not intend to" Adelaide looks down, regretfully
"It is fine" Her mother smiles and embraces her daughter before leading the girls inside where their father was. He was sitting at the table when he sees the girls. His face turns to anger seeing Adelaide's dirty dress. He stands up and marches over to the little girl
"What have you done to your dress?!" He screams in her face
"I-" Adelaide's sentence is cut off by a huge smack to her cheek, causing her to fall to the floor from the force and hold her hand to her cheek
"Stupid girl" Mikael spits. Having heard the large smack, the boys rushed indoors to see what was happening. Mikael glares at his daughter once more before walking off. Once their father was out of sight, Niklaus rushes to his little sister and picks her up bridal style from the floor, knowing that if their father saw her crying she would get hit more. He carries her into her room and lays her down on the bed. He slowly moves her hand from her cheek to examine the wound. The slap left a small cut, so Niklaus puts a wet rag to it to wipe away the blood.
"Are you okay?" Niklaus asks and Adelaide nods, trying to hold in tears
"All better" Niklaus says as he finishes wiping away the blood
"Thank you Nik" Adelaide smiles
"Always and forever" Nik grasps her hand
"Always and forever" She agrees
Mystic Falls, The Middle Ages, 986 AD
Near the house of the Mikaelson's, Adelaide is taking a walk with the man she married when she was 15 when she hears Niklaus' screams. She looks at her husband wide eyed and races towards the voice. She gasps loudly when she sees the scene. Niklaus is carrying the bloody and slashed up body of their youngest brother, Henrik. Adelaide races over to the two brothers around the same time as her twin sister Rebekah.
"Henrik!" Rebekah yells
"Mother!" Niklaus continues to holler. Esther and Ayana races out and rushes over to the four.
"No, no! What happened?" Esther asks, horrified
"The wolves! I am sorry, I'm so sorry!" Niklaus cries and rocks back and forth and Adelaide cradles him in her arms
"We must save him. Please, there must be a way!" Esther begs Ayana
"The spirits will not give us a way, Esther. Your boy is gone." Ayana apologises
"No! No!" Esther cries as she clutches Henrik's lifeless body in her arms.
Mystic Falls, The Middle Ages, 986 AD
It has now been 2 weeks since the death of Henrik. Everyone in the Mikaelsson family is still grieving and Mikael and Esther decide to get the family together for a dinner. With Mikael and Esther at the heads of the table and the children placed around, Mikael stands up.
"We have lost one of our own. A senseless tragedy. A toast.." Mikael raises his cup and everybody else at the table does as well
"To Henrik" He declares and takes a sip. So does everybody else. While everyone is drinking, Mikael puts his cup down and walks around the table to stand behind Finn, Rebekah and Kol to face Adelaide, Niklaus and Elijah. Discreetly, he pulls a blade from his belt.
"Your mother and I never want to go through a loss again." Michael announces. Suddenly, Mikael throws the blade across the room, into Adelaide's heart. She dies instantly.
A few hours later, Adelaide awakens. She looks around confused and can't see anybody, not knowing her siblings are all still dead in the next room. She looks down and sees her dress covered in blood. Adelaide slowly gets up from the chair and tip toes around the house, trying to find her best friend; Niklaus. She finds him, dead in the living room with Rebekah nearby. Both siblings are covered in blood. Adelaide rushes to Niklaus' side and tries to get him to wake up. To her relief, he does.
"Adelaide" Niklaus hugs the girl, seeing her alive. Rebekah then slowly wakes up too.
"What has happened?" Rebekah asks, puzzled. Before anyone can answer, Mikael and a girl from the village stumble in
"What are you doing?" Adelaide asks, confused and very scared
"We must finish what we started!" Mikael yells and pushes the village girl to her knees in front of Adelaide
"You have to drink if you want to live." Michael cuts open the girls wrist.
"Drink, girl!" Michael demands but Adelaide hesitates.
"Drink!" Niklaus tries to stop him but Mikael simply pushes him away.
"Drink!" Adelaide finally relents and drinks the blood from the poor girls wrist. Dark veins appear under her eyes.
Mystic Falls, The Middle Ages, 987 AD
Everything had gone terribly wrong lately. Earlier in the year, Adelaide could not control her hunger and killed her husband by draining him dry. Two days ago, their father ripped their mother's heart out whilst Niklaus watched. Most of the family scattered by now but Adelaide and Niklaus stayed behind to bury their mother. They stand side by side in front of their mothers grave.
"I know you think she hated you, Niklaus, but she did not. She was just afraid. I'm sorry she turned her back on you. I will never do that." Adelaide promises
"Nor will we." Elijah announces as he and Rebekah join the two
"We stick together as one. Always and forever." Adelaide says. All four hold hands in a circle around the grave.
1864, Mystic Falls
After fleeing from Mystic Falls almost 900 years ago, Klaus and Adelaide stuck together, barely ever leaving each other's side. In 1864, Klaus informed his little sister of a mission. A mission to keep in eye on Katherine Pierce. Even though Adelaide had never met the girl, she knew Tatia. She was coming back to her home town.
"Remember your job Addy. Don't get distracted" Klaus reminds her as she steps out from the carriage they had rode here in.
"I know, brother"
"Take care, little sister" Klaus softly smiles before he tells the driver to drive away. Once the carriage was out of sight around to face the town but was instead knocked down by a strong body. She fell to the ground but the other person stayed standing.
"I apologise, are you alright?" The other person asks softly. She looks up at the perpetrator and is starstruck
"I am fine" She manages to breath out
1864, Mystic Falls
It's been 3 months since Adelaide was given her 'mission' by her brother. She was currently running through the woods as fast as she could at human speed, trying to find someone. As she keeps running, she has no luck.
"Little sister" She hears from behind her and she stops running. Turning to face the voice, she sees Niklaus.
"What are you doing here?"
"You have failed your job Addy. Katherine is no where in sight. It's time to go" He commands, tugging on her wrist harshly.
"No Niklaus! I do not want to part!" Adelaide screams and he stops walking, but tightens his already iron grip on her wrist
"Why?"
"Because I have fallen in love with a man. And he has fallen in love with me. I want to be with him forever" She admits, unable to control her lovesick voice as she talks about this subject
"In love? With whom? A human?" Addy doesn't reply, answering it for him with her silence
"You, in love with a human? Don't be stupid Adelaide. People like us do not fall in love especially with lowly humans. They are just food. Now lets go" He starts to storm off
"I am not going with you" She announces from her spot, having not gone to follow him
"Adelaide, if you do not come with me, you are no longer my sister" He hisses darkly, not turning to face her
"Goodbye Niklaus" She turns around to start walking in the opposite direction, relieved and proud of herself for finally sticking up for herself to her domineering brother. She was smiling to herself when she felt the sharp dagger plunge into her heart. Then utter darkness. As it has been for the past 147 years.
