Hope you guys enjoy! Thanks for reading :)
During the 10th Century...
Ayanna lifted the hood of her robes off of her chocolate brown hair as she strolled through the village. She could hear nothing but silence as she gazed at the sun that was about to set. Tonight was the full moon. The men of the village that carried the curse of the moon had fled to the mountains whilst the rest locked themselves in the safety of their own homes.
Ayanna shivered as she felt the cold wind blow on her skin. She quickened her pace as she reached towards her modest hut. She did not feel right. A distant roar ripped through the sky. Something dreadful was going to happen tonight.
Ayanna remained kneeling on the warm floor in front of the fire. The night had taken over for some time now as she remained meditating. Everything was still around her but she could still make out the distant roars. Suddenly she heard the loud banging and thumping of a fist against her front door. "Ayanna! Open the door! Something terribly wrong has happened! Please quickly!"
Ayanna hissed in displeasure knowing exactly who was addressing her. She rose swiftly and opened the door."Esther. You know you and the blood lusting creatures you have created are unwelcomed here," she replied her voice cold as stone.
Esther was a mess. Her eyes were a harsh red. Her short blonde curls stuck to her wet face. A deafening roar shook them both. The wolves were closer than usual. Something was definitely wrong. Ayanna hushed Esther inside bolting the door behind her. Esther dried her face clumsily with her dress and gazed at Ayanna fearfully. "I don't know where to begin," Esther whispered.
Ayanna laid her hand on Esther's shoulder hoping to calm her down. Esther may have gone against her guidance creating her family into blood lusting creatures but she was still her friend. "Calm down, Esther. Take a deep breath," Ayanna advised.
Esther obeyed and continued. "It's Niklaus. He – He's ... I have been unfaithful. Mikael is not his father." Ayanna stared at her paralysed from shock. "That is not all, just as the sun set today he transitioned into a werewolf!" Esther knees shook as she fell on to the floor feeling weak and helpless. She did not know how she would endure Mikael's temper; surely he would figure it out soon himself that she had an affair. Now her child was inflicted with both the curse of the sun and the moon.
Ayanna felt numb. Niklaus' father must have been from the Lockwood family causing him to turn into a werewolf. No he wasn't a werewolf, he was a hybrid. A being like this could not exist. Such energy and power could be devastating to both Niklaus and those around him. How could one person bear two curses, it simply could not exist. She would not let it exist. Ayanna knelt next to Esther on the floor and held her cold small hand. "There is no time to waste Esther, we must act quickly. Gather all the witches."
The murmuring of incantations filled the tiny hut. The blazing candles flickered frightful shadows on the faces of the Bennett witches. Ayanna knelt in the middle of the room towering over Niklaus' unconscious body. Her hands rested on his chest as she closed her eyes in concentration.
After the transition Niklaus had blacked out. His body had never felt such energy causing him to knock out cold. The witched acted quickly taking advantage of his vulnerable state.
Their murmurs grew louder and the flames rose higher as they recited deeper into the curse. Ayanna could feel the spirits working furiously; she could feel the energy flowing through her. She opened her eyes and slowly stood up. "It is complete. He can no longer become a werewolf."
Once all the Bennett witches had gone Ayanna left Esthers hut and treaded out into the night alone. It had been a long and dreadful night but Ayannas duty was not yet complete. Quickly and silently she walked towards a hut by the outskirts of the village. She knocked on the door urgently. The door opened slightly to reveal a woman similar to Ayannas age. She moved her long black hair out of her deep blue eyes as she looked at Ayanna questioningly. "Hello Ayanna is there something wrong?" she asked.
"Sorry to bother you so late at night but it is urgent we speak now Dalia," Ayanna replied.
"Of course, come in."
Ayanna entered the small hut and realized the rest of the inhabitants were peacefully sleeping. Good, the less that knew the better it was. Ayanna turned to face Dalia and with all seriousness spoke, "Dalia, it has been a long day so I shall speak briefly but before I continue I have a question to ask."
"Do continue," Dalia replied politely to the Bennett witch.
"Being a witch it is our duty with the spirits to serve nature and do what is right to protect Earth, do you agree?" Ayanna questioned.
"There is no doubt that I agree, I have always believed that is our sole purpose as witches," Dalia nodded.
Ayanna let out a sigh and carried on, "The spirits have a request and has chosen your bloodline to carry it out. You understand what happened to Niklaus today, you were there right?"
"I did serve yes," Dalia held her breath waiting for Ayanna to break to her why she had come.
"Niklaus' fate is not his fault. His parents forced him to become a vampire and now due to his mother's actions he is also a werewolf. He is the only hybrid in existence. The spirits believe it is unjust that he treads the Earth forever alone due to the actions of others so they have created a prophecy. When the spirits believe the time is right a girl will be born into your family that will be just like him. She will, on her first kill become a hybrid."
Dalia felt cold; she did not think that the spirits request would be this demanding. However as a witch she served the spirits and she intended on doing that. "Is there anything else I should know?"
"I suggest nobody knows this apart from whoever it seems necessary to tell and one other thing. She will be able to carry his child," Ayanna replied quietly.
She looked at Dalia with full concern to see any signs of how she was coping with so much. Dalia was in shock and remained frozen. With a whisper she replied saying, "I understand" and nodded in agreement.
Hey you guys :) Thanks for reading my first ever fanfic! I would love for you guys to review it! Sorry if it was a bit rubbish, writing isn't something I'm talented at LOL
Anyways I thought I would mention quick things just in case some people may get confused. Remember Ayanna? Esther talks about her sometimes, shes a her Bennet witchy friend lol
Dalia is an OC I created.
And Klaus' character in this chapter - I like to believe that Klaus become evil after he realizes hes a hybrid and more powerful than anyone so at this point in the story he just seems like a normal but unlucky guy so thats why the spirits were nice in his favour :)
If people do read this *fingers crossed* and enjoy it I will upload as soon as I can! I have an exam on Wednesday so maybe Wednesday night? Maybe sooner if i study enough? (I live in the UK btw lol)
Oh next chapter will probably still be 10th century and after that it will be the present. Im thinking of making it kinda funny? hopefully? Everything in VD happened in my story so pretty much this story takes place after season 3 :)
Thankyou so so so much for reading my sucky story and byeeeee :) Mwah xoxoxo
