CHAPTER 10.
"Wow",Caroline exclaimed.
Pretty much the same emotion was going through everyone's minds. Only no one could put it as eloquently as Caroline had.
"So Hermia the original Petrova was Klaus's grandmother ? " , Jeremy inquired.
"Hermia was a petrova. Yes.",Anahid said. "But she was not the original one. Her daughter, Kiara was the one who Katherine and Elena resemble. She was also the youngest of Norman's children.
Since Zahbia had cursed only his sons to the fate of immortality, Kiara escaped it and went on to live a human life.
Norman had 2 sons. In those days men came at age at 21 years. But Amadeus his younger son died at the age of 17 due to spanish flu.
Norman was distraught at the untimely demise of his son. But relieved in a way that he had been freed of the curse that was his fate along with his elder brother Joseph.
Joseph had married young and started a family when he learnt of the curse. Unlike his parents he dint seem to find the concept of being a Vampire pitiful.
He rather looked forward to the power it would yield him. And thus he wanted a family which would carry on.
Joseph had 5 sons before he turned.
Dominic,Fabian,Elijah,Fergusson and Adrian.
His wife, still human was pregnant with his sixth child when he became a vampire.
This child was named Niklaus.
Being the youngest of the brothers he was well aware about his family history. After Dominic the eldest one turned Klaus couldnt wait to do the same. He was besotted with the idea of power and like Joseph seemed the most ambitious amongst the rest of his brothers.
But at the age of 19 he accidentally killed an opponent he was duelling with in a swordfight. After that he experienced some changes in his body near full moon.
And at the first full moon after this incident he transformed into his wolf form.
Joseph and his siblings were left speechless. This had to mean only one thing. Joseph's wife Irina had been unfaithful. And that too with a werewolf. Arch enemy of vampires. To joseph this was the ultimate betrayal.
He sought out the wolf who had fathered Klaus and killed him in front of all his children including Klaus.
Klaus had been his favourite child sharing his ambitions and thirst for power. And now he was not only not his blood but the blood of a filthy wolf.
He was going to submit Irina and Klaus to the same fate when Kiara rushed to Joseph and fell on his feet begging for their lives.
She said that he must spare Irina and Klaus. If anyone needed to be punished it would be her. Because Klaus was not Irina's son.
He was Kiara's son born out of wedlock.
