Chapter 2: I'll Always Be By Your Side

Third Person POV:

10th Century

"Please do not do this!" Esther yelled, pleading for her older sister to show mercy on her oldest daughter, Freya. The youngest twin sister, Birkita, cries for her sister, trying to pull away from her mother's grip and grab her sister's hand. Finn sobs as he clutches his mother's left side as the mother holds her youngest daughter tightly.

"You wanted a family! Fate said otherwise, and so you came to me. And, for a price, I granted your wish!" Dahlia says in fury at her younger sister. She yanks on Freya's arm and Birkita growled out in anger at the two women. "Now, I must collect."

"When Mikael returns from his journey, I swear..." Esther said in a threatening, but sad tone. Birkita's tears started streaming down her face more as Freya looked at her twin with confuse and sad eyes. The twin sisters didn't understand the adults, but they both knew something horrible was about to happen, one that would change Birkita's life forever.

"You will tell him Freya grew ill and died!" The older witch yelled out in anger at being threaten.

"No, Dahlia!" Esther yelled out in protest, with tears streaming down her face at knowing what was to come to Freya.

"You were forced to burn her body to stop the spread of plague," Dahlia began to explain to her younger sister with no guilt on her face.

"Sister, please, I cannot give up my child!" The younger witch begged, not wanting to let go of her oldest child. Birkita started to sob and continue to try to grab her sister's hand.

"You've already offered me more than just this one child! Our bargain was for this first-born, and every first-born of each generation that is to come, for as long as your line shall last," She argued, reminding her sister of her deal. Esther didn't take this well though.

"If you do this, if you take my daughter, I swear to you, I will return to the black arts. I will grow in power as a witch, and I will MAKE YOU PAY!" The mother yelled out in fury, glaring at her sister with as much hatred as she could muster.

"Your power is nothing against mine!" Dahlia snapped, annoyed by being threatened by such a weak witch. She arrogantly smirked evilly as she says, "Foolish girl. You knew the bargain you made! And, should you defy me, then I will take all your children. Including young Birkita and little Finn!"

Finn sobs louder, hiding his head in his mother's side in fear. Birkita just glared down the witch with so much hatred, no other child could compare to the glare.

"Even unborn Elijah!" The old witch snapped, fire in her eyes as she pointed at the young mother's pregnant body.

"No, Dahlia!" Esther screams out in fear and sorrow, watching as her older sister - turned enemy - angrily pick up her daughter and rushes away from the family.

"No!" The mother screams out, heart broken.

"Freya!" Birkita cries out, sobbing extremely loudly, wanting her big sister by her side and not in the ugly witches hands.

"Mommy! Birk!" Freya screams out in fear. As the mother was screaming for her daughter and her oldest daughter screaming for her mother and twin sister, Birkita broke free from her mother's grip. The young girl ignored her mother's calls as she bolted towards her sister, sobbing Freya's name.

Dahlia turned around, narrowing her eyes at the little girl. She turned around and flicked her hand, sending the little girl away and running away. Birkita flew back thirty feet and landed in the snow. Esther ran over to her daughter.

"Birkita!" Esther yelled out, kneeling by her daughter. She went to caress her daughter's cheek, but Birkita moved her head away from her mother's hand, tears of anger and sadness streaming down her face. "Birkita..."

The younger girl angrily stood up and glared down at her mother with hatred in her eyes. "You let her take my sister! You let her take Freya away!"

"No, sweetheart! I-" Esther tried to explain to her little girl, but Birkita wouldn't have any of it.

"No! You just gave up on saving her! I hate you!" She sobbed and bolting away from her sobbing mother, who she now hates and will continue to hate forever.

Back to the Present

Hayley sighs as she walks into the kitchen, craving for a glass of milk. She had to chuckle at herself because she just killed several witches earlier and now she wants a glass of milk. She felt quite strange as she poured herself a glass of milk, not having anything else besides the blood of witches for over three weeks, since her daughter was taken away.

She paused, raising an eyebrow at a drawing left on the kitchen table. The hybrid walks over, taking a sip of her milk and looks at the drawing. There was a woman with long blonde hair that was just down in a mess and lovely brown eyes. She looked similar to Rebekah, but she had a strong face structure for a woman, but very beautiful. The hybrid lightly traced the smile and put her glass on the counter.

"Lovely isn't she?" Elijah asked, making the hybrid jump slightly and narrow her eyes at him. The Original vampire chuckled as he walked up, standing next to her, but his eyes never leaving the drawing. Hayley furrowed her eyebrows in confusion and put her hands on her hips, feeling a little jealous by the faraway look in Elijah's eyes.

"Who is she?" Hayley asked, wanting to know about her. Tears shined the Original's eyes as he glanced up to Hayley, looking back down at the drawing of his older sister.

"My older sister, Birkita Mikaelson or sometimes known as Kita," He answers, feeling sadness as he thinks about her. Hayley looks at him with guilt and sadness in her eyes.

"I'm sorry..." She says, but he stays quiet. "So you said she was your older sister... Where is she?"

"Birkita is the oldest out of all of us, but she died a long time ago... Before Henrik died and we became vampires," He says, sitting at the table and holding the drawing in his hands, looking more closely at the drawing.

"What happened to her?" Hayley asked, getting more curious by the moment and forgetting about the witches for a moment.

"She was killed, a sword was through her gut, causing her to die in Klaus's arms. But to this day, we do not know who killed her..." Elijah responds, anger clearly in his eyes and sorrow of remembering her death and telling Hayley what happened.

10th Century

"Birkita!" A young adult, Klaus, yells out in laughter. His older brother, Elijah, was chuckling at his younger brother, not believing what Klaus wanted to do. The younger adult wanted Elijah and his adult-older sister to sword fight, betting that Birkita would win.

They both froze for a second when they came to a stop to see their dear older sister on the ground, blood surrounding her body. Her loyal horse, King, was headless and laying a few feet away from her. Blood and dirt was covering her body and face, few bruises on her as she was panting for air.

"Kita!" Klaus yelled out in fear, along with Elijah. They bolted towards her, the younger brother kneeling by her side. Elijah quickly grabbed the sword and pulled it out of her, causing her to scream out in pain. Tears fell down from Niklaus eyes as he laid Kita's head on his lap. "Kita..." He said, his voice breaking. Elijah had tears falling down like a stream, but he remained silent, fear overcoming him.

"Br-brothers... I-I'm... I'm sorry... Nik-ki," Birkita says, barely able to form words out of her mouth. Klaus shook his head, not understanding why she was apologizing.

Elijah, finally unfreezing from pure shock and fear, asks, "Why are you sorry, dear sister?"

Birkita had tears in her eyes as she looks at both of them, but her eyes looked at Klaus with so much sadness. "I-I fail... failed y-you... Nikki."

"No! No! You didn't fail me, dear Kita. You-you protected me from our father when no one did and-and you loved me more like a son then a brother. You've helped me grow in strength and-and wisdom and-" Klaus began stuttering, knowing he couldn't save his sister. Birkita gave a sad smile and with all of her strength, she raised up her hand and gently caressed his face and she slowly touched Elijah's hand, which was holding her wound.

"I love you... I love all of my-my siblings... Every-every one of you made-made me proud... Tell-tell them, will you?" She asked and they both quickly nodded their heads. Birkita's smile start to shake as she looked at Klaus. "No one messes with Niklaus. They have to go through me first," She says, without stuttering.

Klaus began sobbing loudly as she dropped her hand from his cheek and her eyes became empty... No life left in the oldest sibling Mikaelson left.

Back to the Present

"Wow... That's horrible," Hayley says, even a few tears appearing in her eyes of the story. Elijah stiffly nodded his head, quickly whipping his wet eyes.

"Yes... It is," Elijah says, looking up at the ceiling for a moment. The hybrid mother was about to ask something else when the Original hybrid marched into the kitchen. He glared at the two before snatching the drawing of his dead older sister. Elijah quickly stood up as Klaus blurred away from the duo. He sighs and quickly follows to the art studio.

"Klaus-" The Original began to say as he walked into the art studio, but Klaus interrupted him.

"Why must you bring up her?!" Klaus screamed at him in a furious rage. He grabbed the nearest paintbrush and threw the pointy end at his older brother, who caught it just in time before it could hit his right eye. Elijah sighed and rubbed his forehead, confuse and stressed out by his little brother.

"Why are you afraid to bring her up?" Elijah asked, trying to understand why, in over a hundred or so years is Klaus starting to show remembrance of Birkita. The Original hybrid turned around, his back facing his older brother as tears form in his eyes.

"Why tell Hayley?" Klaus asked right back, keeping his voice from breaking, but keeping his heart broken face from his older brother. Elijah huffs, aggravated, and looks at a covered painting of Birkita, several actually, and feeling astonished by Niklaus.

"Because she's family and she has a right to know about our big sister. Which was one of the most important people in your human and vampire life! Birkita wouldn't want you to act this way and you should know better than any other! You were both stuck like glue together, ever since you were born and it grew as you-" Elijah began to explain his reason for telling Hayley, but Klaus interrupted him.

"I know that! But Birkita isn't here, now is she?" He snapped back at his older brother, anger boiling at remembering one of her most famous words to him when he was only a child...

10th Century

"Nikki! Come on!" A teenager Birkita, yelled out to her little brother as she was running through the woods. Klaus giggled as he chased her down, but yelped when his right foot stepped into a hole and twisted his ankle. The older teen stopped and gasped, "Niklaus!" and ran over to her brother's side.

"It hurts..." He whimpered lightly, but she only gave a small smile as she stood up. Birkita bended down and wrapped his arm over her shoulder as her left arm was behind his back. Klaus understood what she was getting at and the two both pulled, him groaning as they stood with Klaus limping. "Thanks."

"Welcome," Kita says, both of them walking slowly in the woods. They were quiet as they walked in the woods, but when they heard a twig, Birkita stopped. "Stay here, Nikki," She whispered as she set him down, behind a tree and next to a bush. He whimpered as she stepped around him, gripping her sword tightly.

"Kita..." Niklaus whimpered, but Birkita shushed him, which he listened. He peaked behind his hiding spot when he heard a growl. He gasped when he saw a big black bear, standing only about ten or so feet away from his sister. Klaus quickly covered his mouth in fear or killing both of them by alerting the bear.

The beast growled as Birkita stood her ground, sword pointing at him. She was scared, but not for herself, but for Klaus. When she took a step the bear's lip curled into a snarl, showing it's sharp teeth. "No!" Niklaus accidentally yells out in fear, clamping his hands on his mouth.

The bear quickly turned his attention to Klaus and ran over to him. Birkita quickly went into action and ran over to them. Klaus fell back as the bear towered over him, the young boy panting in fear and sweat forming on his face. Right when the bear lifted it's claw, Birkita stepped in front of Klaus and stabbed the bear through his heart.

Klaus looked up at his sister in shock and surprise as the bear fell backwards, dead. "Are you alright, Nikki?" She asked in panic as she kneeled in front of him. He was frozen in shock as his eyes were glued to the claw mark on his sister's shoulder. Birkita rested both of her hands on her brother's cheeks and moved his head to check for injuries. "Nikki?" The older sibling asked in fear because he wasn't talking to her.

Suddenly, Niklaus launched forward and pulled her into a tight hug, tears streaming down his face. A little confuse and worried, Birkita hugged him tighter. "I thought you were gonna die..." Klaus whispered in his sister's shoulder. Birkita sighed as she kissed the top of his head, shutting her eyes.

"Me too... I thought I was gonna lose you," She whispered, caressing his head affectionately. He started to sob in her shoulder as he held on tighter to his oldest sibling and best friend. "Hey..." Birkita pulled Klaus at arm's length and they looked into each others eyes, both had tears in them. "I'll always be by your side... No matter what happens..."
