Chapter 4

Previously:

"Where are Klaus and Kol." Finn nodded in agreement.

I responded quickly with a "They're busy at the moment." I then pointed at my ear silently telling them to listen closely. When they heard it they nodded in agreement I spent the next two hours teaching them about the modern world. Finn had been daggered for 900 years. Rebekah had been daggered for 200 years. Kol had been daggered for 140 years.

I had just finish teaching them everything when we heard three sets of footsteps coming down stairs as they entered the room. I was surprised to see them all walk in wrapped around each other. So I decided I was going to ask.

"So, are you going to tell us what is going on."

They all said "Ummm..."

Now

Everyone waited for an explanation, and finally Bella spoke up. She said,

"The year was 1860. I had just turned 18, my father thought it was time I got married. No matter what I said to him he would not listen. So I did the only thing a teenager would do, I ran away. I ended up in a small town called Belhaven. When I showed up, I found a family to take me in. Then, I started going to school. I wanted to learn. One day, I was walking the hallways when I accidentally bumped into this boy. I didn't know who he was at the time. He was new to the town, just like me. We became friends fast, eventually falling in love. After that, we became betrothed. Two weeks before we were supposed to get married, a mysterious man showed up. The man said he was looking for his brother, but I noticed something strange happening; the man I loved was distancing himself from me. A few short weeks went by before the man I loved was nowhere to be found, missing. I was heartbroken, I couldn't move on. I quickly fell into a depression."

By now everyone was staring at her, all of them thinking the same thing: Who was this man? After a short pause she continued,

"I soon learned that this man was the older brother of the man I loved so dearly. After my love was missing for awhile, I began seeing the mysterious brother around town quite frequently. When I finally met this man there was something about him, I could not stay away. It was as if there was a cord connecting us, I was drawn to him. And I had only ever felt that once before, with the very man I loved. Longing for my missing love, I enjoyed the feeling his brother gave me. It reminded me of him. We eventually wed and are still married to this day."

She paused and for a slight moment everyone saw just how broken she truly was. Then, she continued,

"My first love was taken and replaced by my second, both of those men are in this room. I still feel that cord connecting me to two of them. Now, the connection has changed, it's alive! It-it's electric! The three of us are connected. We're drawn together."

Klaus POV:

As Ara spoke, I was drawn into a flashback so fast I thought I had whiplash.

Flashback:

980 AD

Five year old Klaus' POV:

Today is the day. Mother is finally going to have the baby. I think it's going to be a boy. Everyone else says it's going to be a girl, but have a strange feeling about it. I just know that I'm right and in just a few hours they will all see just how right I am.

Hours Later

When I heard the baby cry I was drawn to the sound; I wanted to soothe the baby. However, I knew I was not allowed in the room yet. Shortly after, father was called to take the baby. It was after that I found out that I had been right, it was a boy. Mikael was not one to hold a baby so he gave him to me. As I met my little brother's eyes, I knew I would watch him. Help him. I would be there for him, he was my life. When he was hurting, I was hurting. When he cried, I cried. When he needed to laugh, I would tell a joke. He is my everything, but something is missing. When I found out his name my heart skipped a beat. His name was Kol.

A year later

Klaus stuck to his word, when Kol cried Klaus was always the first one there. He alway knew what Kol wanted. Their mother noticed the odd connection the siblings shared. She told Mikael, and they decided to try to keep them apart. When Kol cried Ester and Mikael got up quicker. Mother went to soothe the baby and Mikael blocked Klaus from going in. They shorted the amount of time the brothers spent together and put them in opposite places, but they always managed to get back to each other. One night, when Kol cried they both got up again. They tried the same thing. It was different this time; Kol would not settle down. After hours of him crying, Ester called for Mikael to let Klaus come in. So he did.

She handed six-year-old Klaus the crying baby. As soon as Klaus had the baby in his arms he stopped crying, instantly. They had a bond. Ester and Mikael were shocked to see baby Kol do something he had never done before, he smiled! The baby fell asleep in his brother's arms.

After that the parents gave up on separating the two. They soon had another baby to worry about, so they simply passed Kol to Klaus. They knew he would look out for his younger brother.

Nineteen years later

A boy in the village was mauled by the wolves. Ester never wanted to feel the pain of loosing a child again, so she turned her children into vampires. Finn, Elijah, Klaus, Kol, Rebekah, and Henrik - all turned into vampires. It was discovered that Klaus was not Mikael's child, leading Mikael to slaughter Klaus's biological father's village. Then, he murdered his wife after forcing her to curse Klaus.

All of the siblings made the pact;

Always And Forever.

One hundred years later Finn was daggered. He had asked to be daggered because he didn't enjoy the life that was forced upon him.

Next was Rebekah.

Then was Kol. That was the saddest day of Klaus' life. Tears ran down his face as he daggered the person he loved the most in the world.

After he daggered Kol he left Belhevan. When he left he felt the same pull he had felt while Kol was away. He turned around and went back. He met the girl that his brother was in love with. He married her then, and they stayed together for another hundred years. After that, they separated to do other things but they still talked all the time. Then thirty-nine years later, Klaus got word of a doppelgänger in Mystic Falls.

General POV

Ara and Klaus had split up, when she met Elijah. They had a drunken one night stand and become great friends. They are very close, but friends is all they'll ever be. They agreed to just be friends when he found out who she was. They separated about a year before Ara moved to Forks. She had told Klaus about how she met Elijah. He was pissed, but somehow he managed to accept it.

Flashback Over

Klaus' POV:

It was then I decided to tell them all.

"I have always felt a connection to Kol. Ever since the first day I looked into his eyes."

Kol looked at me, his eyes sparkling, as he said

"I felt it too. For as long as I can remember I felt connected to Klaus, however, something was always missing. The year before I was daggered, I left to find that missing piece. I felt a pull, so I followed it. As I got closer to whatever was pulling me, the strength intensified. I got distracted, and suddenly I was on the floor with a girl on top of me. The pull was gone and she just kept apologizing. I told her it was my fault. Then, I realized it was her that was missing all those years."

"Somehow I knew not to call Klaus, I knew he would come for me. I also knew he had to find out about Ara on his own and I was right."
