Over centuries I have seen versions of Silas and Amara find each other. When I turned Silas to stone and Amara to the anchor to the other side, I thought I won but nature has punished me since then. I am stuck here on the other side and there on Earth, I see their versions find each other, romance each other, drawn to each other like a magnet. I turned Amara into stone but I had no idea she had given birth before, even before drinking what was mine, before drinking the immortality potion made solely by me.

It is only after my coven killed me that I learnt that Amara gave birth to quadruplets, two boys, one girl and a transgender. All four of them possessed the gift of magic by birth since they were descended from Silas and although the transgender child could not continue the bloodline but he possessed the strongest magic of them all, he stood as the pillar of his siblings, I could still feel his presence. The other three continued their blood line and as if their bloodline wasn't corrupt already, Esther corrupted it even more when she turned her children into vampires, and bound her son's werewolf side by using the blood of one of Amara's doppelgangers.

I have to say, I cheered for that, I enjoyed seeing versions of Amara being tormented over centuries. Mikael would kill the ones he would find so that his bastard son doesn't break his curse. Ever since then, whenever a new Petrova doppelganger is born, other than waiting for her versions to find her other half, which happens every time, I now enjoy seeing who will find Amara's doppelganger first, Klaus or Mikael. I remember most of them being killed by Mikael until 1492, when this cunning girl Katerina Petrova she hanged herself. And then Klaus killed her family, destroyed her life and has been hunting her since then.

I have cursed Amara to suffer for all eternity but I admit I enjoy seeing versions of her being tormented over the years by the Mikaelson family, which, I believe, is a curse itself on Earth just by existing.

In a huge mansion in an island, cloaked by magic, not possible for human or vampire eyes to see, lives a creature as old as a millennia, he was once a sweet boy and now he can only be described to be what a beast is. His appearance is that of a prince, but he is called a beast for the actions he has done and is known for in the past. His reputation precedes him, he is a man and a beast, beast, as he says, is what his father called him, the first time he saw his true form. But he knows that it is not his form that made him the beast that he is today, his father did, much worse, his actions.

He cannot wait to unlock what was taken away from him, locked away to hide the infidelity of his mother to the world by her own hands. He cannot wait to embrace the part that of him that was ripped off from him to aid the false pride of his miserable excuse of a father. He was punished for the way he was born, for what he was born, he was punished because of the infidelity of his own mother. He has always found a connection to the werewolves when he was human and when he learnt that he was one, a part inside of him was overjoyed, although this made him realize that his mother's husband wasn't his true father but still a part of him felt the joy that comes from being a werewolf, from roaming freely under the woods like you have no care for the world.

But that happiness too was short-lived as his own mother put a hybrid curse on him, when that happiness was ripped away from him by the person he loved most that time, all his love turned to hate. Being a werewolf means being you have anger issues and being a vampire magnifies it, just as it magnifies all other emotions. His anger magnified by his vampirism, mixed with constant abuse by his father and the one thing that he liked he found out about himself being ripped off of him, his anger took control and he made a plan to get rid of both his parents. He killed his mother and put the blame on Mikael and then he ran, he ran with siblings and ever since that time he has been running. It is said that the people who you hate most, affect you the most, maybe Klaus got a shade of Mikael and he did the same to Katherine what Mikael did to him.

After chasing Katherine for nearly two centuries he met a boy in 1820, young, ten years old, beaten, but with a spirit to fight back, he took him in, named him Marcellus, freed him from slavery, adopted him, raised him. This is the first time he thought he won't be Mikael, he will not do to his son what Mikael did to him, he decided he would be a better man and prove to Mikael and more to himself that he is not a beast, he is not a monster. He dedicated his life to Marcellus, his relationship with his sister was the only thing he didn't approve of but that too he overcame with time. That was the time when Klaus was being his best, he started by raising a son, then he went to development of the whole city, overtime he gave Marcel and Rebekah his blessing to be together but that happiness too was ripped away from him. Mikael came to New Orleans and he not only burned down his city, he assumed Marcel died in that fire too and that was the last straw because with that died the last shred of humanity Klaus had left in him. This was the darkest time of his life, the time when Klaus lost his humanity.

He was painting he heard the sound of someone entering his studio, his stops the strokes of the paint brush and tilts his head, looking by the corner of his eyes he asks, "Yes Maddox, what is it?"

"Dallas, she has moved to Dallas."

He resumes painting.

Maddox is surprised that Klaus didn't respond the way he expected him to, he waits for his master's response. Klaus puts the paint brush down and turns, "Maddox, thank you for telling me where she went to, although this information could have been ousted even by little compulsion."

"I told you the location of the doppelganger and you're not a least bit affected."

"What do you want me to praise you? Well, I won't. See, Tatia wasn't the first one and Elena isn't the last."

"You know of Elena?"

"Of course I do."

"So why haven't you broken the curse yet?"

"Because I can't, breaking of the curse requires my moonstone and Katerina stole it away."

"Then I will do a locator spell for you."

"Maddox, I have known witches double your age, from a time you weren't even born, so, if they were not able to locate it, surely you wouldn't be able to. I draw the sketches of the sun and moon curse to find the Petrova doppelganger and the moonstone. Katherine's witch cloaked it, the only way to find it is if it comes in contact with some magi or of course if Katerina reveals its location."

Greta walks in smiling at her new lord, "Then I will do a locator spell on this Katerina for you love."

"Greta, what makes you think that Katerina will find a spell to cloak a rock but not herself."

Maddox has a sudden realization and he asks, "Wait, how do you know about Elena's existence."

"Easy. My father always hunted me or the doppelgangers, but it was this one that he came to hunt when she was a child, ten, I guess." There is a pause, when Klaus learnt about Mikael being desiccated, his heart being stopped and him being locked in a cemetery in Charlotte. He dug into the matter he wanted to know about the why and when, what he discovered was the existence of the latest doppelganger, but she was ten, just the age at which Marcel was adopted and Klaus may have turned his humanity off but he was not a monster, he will not kill a ten year old child for his own personal gain. So he left and ever since he has been patiently waiting for her to grow up and he has employed his witches and vampires everywhere to find the moonstone.

"So if you want me to break this curse Maddox, you will have to find me Katerina first, or the moonstone, do your best in this and the curse will break."

Greta keeps a hand on Klaus' shoulder seductively this, "This Elena, she is descended from Katherine right?"

"Yes she is Greta, all the doppelgangers are originated by Tatia Petrova herself. She has had a child but she didn't live to see her grandchildren, I wasn't around but I kept tab on them. Soon a new doppelganger was born but before I could reach her, Mikael killed her and this cycle repeated itself. There were several before and after Katerina. My brother Elijah doesn't know of the ones who came after Katerina because I always kept them hidden, compelled away in a safe space, living their lives, waiting to find the moonstone but no moonstone no breaking of the curse, and sometimes of course Mikael found them before me and killed them. I think this latest doppelganger would get to live her life because Mikael is rotting in a cemetery and I, on the hand, have no idea where the moonstone is."

It was the fresher's party in Elena's new school, and because she denied the offer earlier, she joined the school late, and after she joined it, she spent most of her time in the library and returned to the dormitory only for sleep. They would see her in class, her writer's batch which was an addition to her daily academics would know her, but still she was new, newer than the others and as a result today at the fresher's dance party she was alone, with no partner to dance with. Elena was lonely at a school dance first time ever in her life so obviously she decided to focus on food instead.

Elijah and the other faculty join the party as the winners of a competition held a month before she joined were to be announced but before that they had a performance by a band of their own students. Elena was busy stuffing food in her mouth, if not the boys, then food is definitely the best company to keep in parties like that. Everyone's focus was on the stage, Elena's was on the food, she throws a popcorn up in the air and looks up to catch it with her open mouth. She closes her mouth when she sees one of the heavy lights hanging loosely.

Obviously, others were so focused on the performance that they didn't notice, she could see that one of the ends was already loose and the other wasn't going to hold very long. She yells and asks everyone to get away from there but her sound goes unnoticed in the crowd's scream. She has to think fast, if she turns off the power the light will fall leaving many injured and her sound is not audible in the sound of the crowd. She has to empty the area, she gets an idea, she stands on the table and holding a mic she yells, "Hey guys, Justin Beiber outside."

All but her and Elijah leave the room. Elijah heard her heart skip a beat and he had decided that he would suspend her for this kind of behavior for a week. "Elena Gilbert, you are suspended for a week, you will not be attending my school if you behave like this." Elijah was walking towards her while he talked and then he stood right under the light, Elena looks at him to speak of her innocence but she sees the last hook holding the light falling on the ground beside him, a shock passes over her, he is the only guy she likes in this school, she has been crushing over him since the minute she saw him. She doesn't has to look up to see what is to happen, she jumps down the table with a look of shock and fear in her face, she runs towards him and pushes him back.

Elijah stumbles a few steps back and then he fumes at her, he won't tolerate this kind of behavior among his students but soon his anger turns to guilt as he sees the light fallen all over her, making her fall unconscious, her head bleeding and pieces of glass buried in her arm, and the weight of the heavy light all over her torso.

"No" he murmurs, he has met versions of her before, Tatia, Katerina, Tatia, he loved, he loved Katerina too, he swore to himself he won't fall for that face again but this girl lying unconscious over here, she is a martyr, here I was suspending her and still she chose to save me, even though I didn't need saving. She is not Tatia this I knew from the moment I saw her, but she is not Katerina too, if she were Katerina she would have rather let others take the fall for her. But Elena, I didn't expect this, when she shouted on the mic I thought she was trying to gain some attention, I was so wrong. She did this just to save everyone from the fall, you my dear Elena, have earned my respect.

Elijah removes the heavy light from her torso with almost no effort with his inhuman strength, he gently lifts her head up in his lap and is about to bite into his wrist when he hears the students returning back, all of a sudden the entrance is flooded, he knows he can't heal her in front of so many people, he puts his other hand under her knees and picks her up bridal style. The bleeding side of her head resting on his shoulder.

"Students" he addresses them, "And teachers, I know you have been misinformed of a pop star showing up but Miss Gilbert's intention was to save you all from the very accident she became a victim of, now make way, I am taking her to the hospital."

He walks carrying her to the exit, students make way for him, they see the blood flowing from her head and arms. The chauffer opens the car door and Elijah tells him no, I'll drive. Elijah drives fast, too fast, breaking the traffic rules, all the while that if the students were even a bit late, I would have healed her. Just when he reaches the hospital, he puts her on the hospital bed and compels the doctor to treat her. There was a rule in the hospital that the doctors won't begin the treatment until the relative has signed a bond that it won't be the responsibility of the hospital if she dies during treatment.

Elijah's POV.

Had those students not arrived there, I would have healed her then and there, and if I heal her later then same kind of questions would arise, bringing her to the hospital was a formality, if things go bad I will heal her myself but as for now, medical treatment would be the best option because I saw her roommate call someone and I am sure I heard Jenna. If her relatives are to come here, I cannot tell them how she was miraculously cured by my vampire blood.

Today she saved me from an accident which couldn't have harmed me anyway, but I am not the only one she saved, she saved so many of my other students too. Even when I suspended her she didn't back down from doing what she had to do, she pushed me and I had to take a few steps behind to show that her force did affect me but I have no words to explain of how I felt when I saw her almost die before my eyes. I swear to myself that I will protect her.

Elijah gets a call from the school, the warlock who was also the principal of the school had checked the footage to erase Elijah presentation of the supernatural strength but he also got to see something else, turned out that one of the rival schools had sent their man to loosen the screws of the heavy light so as to cause the accidents so that outrage breaks, and this school closes it was done purely for the purpose of rivalry. Elijah's blood boils when he sees the footage of the light being loosed intentionally. Obviously, Elena's sacrifice minimized the damage but this was not going to go unanswered. The principal also informed him that Elena's aunt Jenna will be here next morning to see her niece. Elijah looks at his reflection, Elena's blood still on his coat, on his shoulder, "You will be avenged Elena, I promise you that."

A/N:- I don't know what those heavy lights are called.
