Authors note: Ok, this is on the lines of Reincarnate and A Beginning, using the same characters and pretty much the same ideas. I've just written much more for this version so far than the others. I hope you all like it, and pretty please review!

Selena Pov.

I was stuck in a cave of rock that Sage tells me was where the Mikealsons hid on full moon nights. I guess I believe her, I mean HIS name is carved into the wall along with the names of HIS family. I sighed, it's been like five hundred years since I was last alive and had seen HIM.

I miss HIM more than I can even begin to describe, though I suspect Sage has it worse. She's been here for nearly a thousand years and sacrificed herself, her health which led to her death, to save their younger brother Henrick. She did it because she knew their family would NEVER approve of her. And their family would never be whole again. She doesn't ever talk about it, she refuses to. I guess I understand, but I don't know what else we can fully talk about in depth. Bridget told me everything she knows about it, she is in the same situation as Sage, they've both been here nearly a thousand years.

Bridget was in every way perfect for Elijah. Both of them were, well, are the responsible sibling, and tend to give up their own happiness for the happiness of their siblings. She knew Elijah when they were all human, before their mother Ester turned them into vampires. She was set and ready to become the 'perfect wife' in that time. And she truly, truly loves Elijah. Loves as in present tense, SHE STILL DOES! I can't be one to judge although I've been here for about half the time, I still love HIM. [Ok, I'm sorta trying to NOT think his name or imagine his face, which is REALLY REALLY SUPER HARD!] She and Elijah deserved to be happy together.

I have so so many questions about the past and their lives that I want to ask, especially to fill the dead silence that I hate. So I settle on one that I think is safe enough to ask. "Bridget?" I say to get her attention, "Have you ever thought about marriage? What it would be like to get married and have a family of your own?"

She looked down to her needlework in her lap after I finished my question, as if she was trying to make sure I wouldn't see the sadness that crossed her features. [NEWSFLASH, I DID!] "Yes." Her voice was small and it wavered slightly. "Elijah and I wished to marry. He always talked about what he wanted from life, he'd ask me how many children I wanted to have and we would try and picture our beautiful fantasy family together, how extravagant our cottage for me. He always said to me , 'You deserve only the best, and that's what I'm going to give you.'" She started crying silently as she said this and wiped away the tear that had fallen. "He was going to ask for my father's permission and blessing. Then Henrick was attacked and Sage saved him. It took everything from her, she became so weak and only about a day later began to cough up blood. She would have died soon after. He decided it wouldn't be appropriate to ask this when his eldest brother was going to loose his love while I was still alive. Elijah wanted to hold off for a week at the least."

I had moved so I was sitting with my hands on her knee, trying to be as comforting as I could and still get her to continue. She took a deep breath and wiped away more tears before continuing. "Then, the day he was going to ask Ester turned them. I knew something was wrong instantly, so I went over, telling father I was going to visit Rebekah. And I really was, I was worried as the previous day she'd been feeling feverishly ill. But I was also checking on Elijah and father would never have let me go if he'd known." She sighed, "Rebekah is my closest friend, so I was ecstatic that we would soon be sisters. I got there only to find them all dead, I swayed in the doorway and nearly collapsed but Ester caught me. 'Bridget dear, they are all fine, just asleep.' She said, 'They are sick, would you mind staying here while I go fetch Sage?'".

"What? Did you?" I ask, already knowing what the answer would be. "Of coarse I stayed. As soon as Ester left Mikeal came over and grabbed me. He slit my wrist open. Mikeal sucked in a breath surprised at the color of my blood, which was golden, and stared as it dripped to the floor. Red veins appeared under Elijah's blacked eyes as he suddenly sat up. I was yanked to kneel next to him, 'Elijah?' I'd asked, 'What's going on?' Nobody seemed to be able to answer me, and he was too fixated on the color of my blood. I know now he was also fixated on the smell and he bit into my wrist and nearly drained me dry. I eventually collapsed into his arms and lay their as I died. I haven't seen him in any of my reincarnations since. But I love him, I look for him, I know he's out there. I'll always love him and look for him."

When Bridget finished talked she has only shed a minimal few tears while I was holding Cecelia as we bawled our eyes out quietly. "You've heard the story so many times, what made you feel the need to ask a question that you knew would spur me to tell it again?" She asked me. "I guess I just needed to remember how much I shouldn't feel sorry for myself. You've been through so so much more. You, Sage and Cecelia. Even Caroline! I know myself and my actions to be weak and childish." I was still crying as I said this and Cecelia held me tighter. Sage and Bridget moved to hug us as well and we sat their crying together.
