Prologue
A falling star fell from your heart and landed in my eyes.
At first there was nothing but the faint sound of leaves rustling beyond her window. It should have been a night like every other. Emma should have been nestled safely beneath her covers. She should have heard her father's incessant snoring from her parent's room two doors down, and her baby brother's lulling coos from the crib. However it was not a night like every other.
Instead her father slept soundlessly, her brother had long been asleep and Emma shivered from beneath her blankets. Her futile attempts to catch even the slightest bit of sleep had gone awry. Emma was convinced that the Sandman was mad at her for she had spent the last few nights restless, falling in and out of sleep. There was a feeling at the pit of her stomach that would not go away and because of it, her heart felt heavy in a way she could not describe.
Emma found herself staring at her ceiling, at least the dark void where she was certain her ceiling was. Her eyes traced the darkness and she found a corner somewhat lit from the moonlight that had escaped through the slits of her window blinds. Suddenly amused, Emma lifted her arm so her hand would cast a shadow in the light. She made random signs in the light until she heard a crash from her backyard.
Emma got up abruptly from her bed, certain that she had not imagined the noise. She rose atop the bench underneath the window overlooking her backyard. The autumn night was strangely lit with the fading yellow glow of the streetlights and the pale light from the moon. Her eyes searched blindly for the source of the noise but stopped short on nothing. Emma shook her head in confusion, and made to get off the bench only to hear a furious scattering; as if someone were trying to run from out of her backyard.
Emma ducked slightly so as to ensure that whatever it was, whoever it was, lurking outside would not see her. She trembled at the myriad of horrid situations that seeped into her thoughts. Emma sat there in the hopes of hearing something again, not to be caught in a perilous situation but rather to ensure her sanity. She had heard something, of that she was sure.
A/N: This story may seem confusing at first, but will start to make sense later on. I promise. This story will have two parts. The first part is of Klaus' past, his origins, family and a deeper look at why he is the way he is now. The main gang will be introduced in the second part of the story seeing as they have no part in the past xD. I hope that whoever stumbles across this story loves reading it as much as I enjoy writing it. Also the first two uploads are unedited and for that I apologize. And uhm that's it! I really hope you enjoy this and constructive criticism is very welcome(:
