Author's Note: So this a story I had in mind for a while now. I hope You like it. Please leave a review.
Time Would Never Tell:
So here I am writing in this journal that my teacher gave me saying I need to write about my life story. The only problem is I don't know my life story yet. My life is actually pretty boring and normal. My name is Oliver-Henrick (Henry) Niklaus Mikaelson. A mouthful I know. I wonder if my parents did that on purpose or did they actually think about it before they named me. I will never know. It's just me and my dad. I never knew me mum. Dad never likes to talk about her. Like never. All I know is that I had one. Once. So my teacher said I had to write so here it goes. I am twelve years old and I still have no clue who my mother is and I have no clue why people stare at me dad with fear in their eyes. I mean seriously who could ever fear my dad. I mean he is terrified and I mean terrified of spiders. I am the one who has to go and kill the big bad spider for him. He will yell for me especially when they are the hairy ones with the long legs. He hates those. I just laugh at those people who see my dad as a scary person. You would think with the number of people who look at him that way would make you question whether they were right but I know my dad could never do have the things they say he did. Although if they were right, he is still my father. I mean what is there to fear other than fact that he has a really bad temper. He tries to hide it sometimes but I know things don't all of the sudden fall apart. What table just suddenly breaks into several pieces when a mug gets set on a table. Seriously. Does he think I am blind to what goes on around here? You would think I was stupid if I didn't notice that dad has like super strength or something. Oh ooops Dad's calling yikes. I forgot to pick up my jacket again. He hates that. Yikes-
"Oliver –Henrick Niklaus Mikaelson come here right this instance" shouts a booming voice coming from the other part of the house. Henry curses under his breath before quickly putting his notebook under his bed for safe keeping before reluctantly going to his father. A tall man who appears to be in his late twenties looks down at his son when he appears in front of him.
"Yeah Dad?" says a sheepish Henry waiting for whatever came next. Henry looks down not wanting to meet his father's eye in fear of what he would see in them. Henry hated to see disappointment in his father's eyes. Henry knew that his father only what was best for him.
The older man sighs deeply before putting a gentle hand on top of his sons head making Henry look up at his father at the change of atmosphere. Henry looks into his father's eyes to see a deep sorrow hidden beneath his loving stare. "Dad?" Henry utters before his dad pulls him into a hug wrapping his arms around his son never wanting to let him go. "Dad you are scaring me. What's going on?" says Henry desperately this time scared at his father's weird behavior.
"I am about to tell you everything about my past, but before I do I want you to understand something first okay" says Klaus.
"Okay" says Henry curious about what his father had to say. Henry's father never spoke about his past. Every time he would bring it up his father would start to shut down and slump a little bit. Henry didn't like the pained look he would have so Henry would simply just drop the subject.
"I want you to know that these last twelve years with you have made me a better man and I would never change a single moment of it" says Klaus.
"Not even my temper tantrums or having to clean my dirty diapers or having to deal with my overactive imagination or when I wouldn't listen or-"
"Okay Okay. I get it Henry. But no I would never change a single moment" says Klaus with a smile on his face.
"You are the only good thing in my life son. You have made me truly proud to be a father. I could never ask for anything more but I must tell you that I wasn't always like this" says Klaus suddenly.
"Oh you mean you haven't always been this boring?" says Henry smiling at his dad encouraging him to continue. Klaus has to laugh at his son's sense of humor shaking his head back and forth.
"What do you know about Vampires and Werewolves?" says Klaus looking at his son seriously all of a sudden. Henry looks at his dad and laughs. What does this have to do with his dad?
"Only what I read in fiction. Why?" says Henry when he realized his father was wanting him to answer seriously.
"Well they are real just as much as you and I are real" says Klaus with a darker undertone to his voice.
"Come on dad what are you talking about. Have you been drinking too much scotch or something" says Henry.
"Watch carefully son and please do not tell anyone" says Klaus pleading to his son before dark circles appear under his eyes and his fangs pop out of his face as he shows his son his vampire side. Then Klaus grabs a knife from the kitchen counter and cuts along his forearm with a sharp blade making Henry gasp at his father's antics. Henry tries to stop his father who only stares his son down to make him stop in his tracks. Klaus simply has his son watch as his wound quickly heals itself as if there was never blood pooling out. Henry backs up out of reaction before he stares at his father closer. Klaus's heart rate beats at an unbelievable rate for a man who has been dead for over a thousand years as he waits for his sons reaction to what he has just revealed. When suddenly a loud laugh escapes his sons voice interrupting the unbearable silence in the room stopping Klaus in his tracks as he looks at his sons pleased face.
"This is totally awesome. I have a vampire as a dad. Wait does this mean I am a vampire too? Do I get those cool fangs? Do I have to drink human blood? Do I have super speed or super strength? Do you think I have to stay away from garlic food? You know how much I love garlic bread" says Henry excited.
"Woa slow down Henry. You aren't a vampire son. Sorry to burst your bubble but there is more. I am not just a vampire" says Klaus cutting his son off from his million questions.
"Wait there is more awesome. What is it?" says Henry with curiousity.
"I am what they call a hybrid. I was born with the werewolf gene and then I became a vampire. So I am both vampire and werewolf" says Klaus smiling at his son as Henry's eyes become wider at hearing that his dad was even more awesome.
"Cooll…. So am I a werewolf. Cuz you know that would be totally awesome. I would be like poof wolf then poof human. I wonder if I could enter in a talent contest. I could be the first one to transform into a wolf. That would be AWESOME" says Henry jumping up and down.
"You really think this is cool don't you son. But there is more. And you are not going to like it" says Klaus looking away from his son now and moving towards the opposite side of the kitchen. Klaus was really hoping to put this off but he has to tell Henry especially after the phone call he had gotten earlier in the day. His son was no longer safe. The sooner he filled his son in the sooner he could teach Henry how to defend himself and maybe help protect himself.
"Before I met your mom I was ….what is the right word…a monster. I didn't care about anyone or anything except to break this stupid curse that was on me" says Klaus in a small whisper.
"Dad what are you talking about? You are not a monster" says Henry surprised that his father was talking about his mother and being a monster all in one day. This was a lot to take in.
"No Henry. I was. I was the most feared Vampire of all time. I was greedy, selfish, arrogant, headstrong, and a murderer" says Klaus barely being able to get the last word out. Klaus could hear his son gulp as he said the last word. But if he stopped now he would never tell Henry the truth about his life.
"I can see you are confused so let me start from the beginning. One thousand years ago my father Michael and my mother Esther had five children: Finn, Elijah, Kol, Rebekah, Henrik and Myself. My parents feared losing their children after losing their first born child so they did want any parent would do. They looked for a way to insure their children would out live them. My mother Esther was a witch and found a way for us to live forever by turning us into vampires. But my father was the one to enact this curse. He killed us. All of my siblings with a sword but before he killed us he made us drink from a cup that consisted of our undoing. We turned into vampires. It wasn't until I was a vampire did my mother tell me that Michael was not my biological father. My mother had a fling with one of the werewolf tribe leaders which meant I was also part wolf. My mother want to create such a creature as myself who could become a very powerful and dangerous abomination as she put it. So she cursed me. I was unable to activate my werewolf side until I sacrificed a vampire, werewolf, and the doppelganger by doing so I had to kill them" says Klaus as he stops suddenly as two small tears start to fall at having to tell his son his darkest moments of his life.
At seeing his father in such an emotional distress, Henry walks over to his father and wraps him in his arms in a tight hug. Henry knew how much this was hurting his father and he didn't want him to fill in more pain. "Dad its okay I still love you. You don't have to continue. Please. I don't need to know" says Henry.
"Yes son I do need to tell you because you are in danger my son. I need you to be prepared for this" says Klaus suddenly scaring his son.
"What?" says Henry looking up at his father.
"You are a hybrid my son. More powerful than I will ever be" says Klaus sadly unable to protect his son from those who would use him to hurt him.
"What?" says Henry thinking that this all he has been saying for the past hour. Henry's head has been spinning since his father started this conversation. Henry has always wanted to know about his father's past but now that he is starting to share he wished he wouldn't continue. He loves his father really he does. He knows how much his father has given up for him. To raise him. But now that he knows all this he can't help but wonder how his father ever turned into the man Henry knows him to be. Was it his mother's doing? Before he could ponder this more Henry's father broke his concentration.
"You have the wolf gene which hasn't been activated yet and the vampire gene which hasn't been activated yet also and lastly you have the witch gene from your grandmother. You are very rare my son because you were born this way." Says Klaus.
Woa! So my dad pulls me down earlier because he wanted to tell my something very important. Apparently my dad is a big bad scary dude, but I don't really believe it for one second. I remember this one time where me and a bunch of friends were going to go see some scary movie and my dad insisted that he would come as a chaperone. Well he sat in the very back row in the movie theatre and every time a thriller moment or guy with a chain saw would come out my dad would sweep down and cover all of our faces trying to get the images out of our mind. But in reality my dad was super scared. He had this look on his face that told you not to mess with him or make fun of him. My friends thought it was funny because they are all terrified of my dad. I don't know why. But people just take one look at him and think that with one glance they know a person. Anyways my dad is like some hot shot Hybrid or whatever that is and everyone is out to well kill him. And since I am his son and more powerful than him. Yeah that's right. More powerful. Everyone will be coming after me now. GREAT. And to think I was terrified of my dad finding out that I didn't finish one of my painting assignments. This is ten times more scary. I guess my dad is gonna train me more or something because we are moving down to some lake house down in Mystic Falls. Mystic Falls sounds extremely boring. I bet there isn't a lot to do in that small town. I wonder if anyone there can tell me more about dad or even me mum. Oh well I guess I'll just have to find out when we get there. Mystic Falls here we come.
Author's Note: So I know some this is a little rough but this is just the first chapter. I hope you like the start so far. For some reason I like the thought of Klaus being a father. Tell me what you think by leaving a review. Thanks.
