We know the story of the originals but what if they had a little brother named Nathaniel. This will take place during season 3 of the vampire diaries and will be going to season 1 of the originals. Nathaniel won't be paired up with anyone until the originals unless I change my mind. He is probably the most caring and loving of the originals but there are times when he can be the most darkest and evil, depends on the situatuion. Like Elijah there isn't anything he wouldn't do for family. Now enough of this lets get on with the story!
"Come on Esther, just a few more pushes" a woman who is helping deliver her baby says. Mikael is there waiting impatiently for his son to be born. Little Rebekah comes in "father is my little brother here yet" she asks innocently. Mikael looks at her and can't help the proud smile that broadens his face "almost my little Rebekah" he tells hers. "Ahh" they hear Esther yell than followed by sounds of a babies cry. "Congratulations a baby boy" the woman says handing her the child. Esther looks at him crying tears of joy and looks at Mikael "what shall we name him?" She asks him. Mikael steps up to her and takes the baby in his hands "Nathaniel, his name is Nathaniel" he says smiling. He then walks out to the center place "boys come look at your little brother" Mikael says. They all look at him and klaus is the one that asks "what's his name?" He asks. Mikael looks at him then to all of them "his name is little Nathaniel Mikaelson" he says it proudly.
10 year old Nathaniel is following his big brother Niklaus across the woods. "Niklaus when is father coming back?" He asks innocently. Klaus looks at his brother and is the only one that doesn't know how Mikael treats him. "I don't know little Nathaniel" he says and is amused when he makes a face "I'm not little" he hears him grumble and klaus can't help but laugh and throws an arm around him "but of course your not little boy" he says smirking. Nathaniel looks at him and just smiles and then hugs him "I love you brother always and forever" he says. He doesn't see klaus's face when he said that, the unshed tears there making a silent promise that he would protect his little brother from anything that dares hurt him.
A 12 year old Nathaniel is being shown how to hunt by his father. "Alright Nathaniel take the bow pull back the string aim and release" Mikael tells him. Nathaniel looks at the bowin his hands and nods. He steps up and does as instructed he looks at the deer and takes aim, he breathes in and out then releases. Mikael can only smile proudly as he watches his son follow his instructions and hit the deer right on. "I did it! I did it!" Nathaniel exclaims. Mikael looks at him smiling "you sure did my son you sure did" he says. Mikael then starts telling him stories of Vikings and Nathaniel hangs on to every word.
Elijah is now 24 years old as of today and still hasn't told Tatia how he feels about her. "Oh oh looks little you my dear brother are so deep in love you don't know what to do" he turns to find Nathaniel smirking at him. Elijah just smiles "oh shut it, Nathaniel" he says good heartdly. Nathaniel pretends to be hurt "why dear brother you have a very dirty mouth just don't let mother hear you talking like that" Nathaniel says still smiling. He takes a seat next to him "so why don't you go and tell her how you feel, it's obvious she likes you right back" Nathaniel asks serious now. "She is with Niklaus" Elijah says. "Now that my brother is just an excuse and I don't think klaus loves her, likes her yes but not love" he says. Elijah turns to him "only 18 years of life and you know so much about love" he says amused. "Oh shove it" Nathaniel says laughing, Elijah joining soon after. He made a promise to always protect his little brother no matter what.
Rebekah is 22 and the man she likes is in love with someone else which is why she is alone in the woods crying. She hears movement and looks up to see her little brother Nathaniel. He doesn't say anything just sits next to her and puts an arm around her and she leans into him and just buried her head on his chest and cries more. "Shh it's okay Rebekah, everything will be okay" he tries soothing her. "How will anything be okay" she chokes out. Nathaniel takes her face and make her look at him, he smiles "because it's me and you against the world always and forever" he says. Rebekah can't help but smile sadly at him "now there's that smile I wanted to see" he says laughing a little and Rebekah joins him. Then it gets silent "hey it's his lost okay, if he doesn't see what a wonderful woman you are he isn't worth it" he says and Rebekah looks at him "really?" She whispers out. "Of course I am never wrong" he says cockily. "Oh shut it" Rebekah say and laughs with him and hugs him "thank you brother" she tells him. "Hey what's family for" he says smiling.
On the night of full moon one night Niklaus takes his brother henrick, the youngest at only 9 years of age, to see the wolves turn. That night is the night that the life's of the mikaelsons change forever. Henrick died which made Mikael demand Esther to turn to the dark arts and make them all immortal so they can fight the beasts. Klaus' true parentage came out which made him half wolf a hybrid. Nathaniel tried to stop Mikael and Esther from putting the curse on him but Mikael snapped his neck. Once he woke his mother was dead and father no where to be seen. The siblings (Rebekah, Niklaus,Elijah,and Nathaniel) were gathered together around their mothers grave vowing together 'Always and forever'. This began the life of the first vampires in the world.
1000 years later
After a thousand years of life Niklaus will be able to break his curse. But Nathaniel isn't so happy were the doppelgänger resides, which is the village they were created in Mystic Falls. He made a promise to klaus to always be by his side and help him break the curse and now the time has come. Hopefully after this he would undagger his siblings, after all he does miss his family. Mystic falls has just gotten a lot more dangerous.
