Before the Sun Sets
CHAPTER 25 ~ The Original Story
I DO NOT OWN THE VAMPIRE DIARIES
That night Maddie and Alaric found a lot of different drawings throughout the tunnels. Ric and Damon and herself, had all agreed to come back the following morning, before school of course, to get some photographs taken that could later be printed and analyzed. She had a good camera at the house that she was going to bring in the morning. Before they left though, she couldn't help take a picture of something she found interesting. She wasn't sure what it was, but it wasn't the pictures that they had been looking at it. It looked like letters for the most part. She was going to do a little of her own investigating at home. She had finally arrived home a little after ten. By that time her mom was in the bed, but she wasn't sleeping. Just watching TV. She spoke to her for about five minutes before heading upstairs. She got changed into her comfortable pajamas and a pair of polka dot fuzzy socks before turning on her computer, her right along side of it with a picture from the tunnels ready.
She wasn't sure how long she sat there, staring at the search bar on her computer screen. She really had no idea what to look up. She sighed, finally typing in: Ancient Scripts. Her eyes glazed over the screen. A lot had come up, of course, and she didn't have time to search through every ancient script that ever existed. She clicked over to the images section, thinking that would make things go a tad faster. And she was right. She kept looking back and forth, from her phone to computer screen, trying to find a similarity in any of the script. And she didn't. She was just about ready to go to bed when she finally saw something that looked to be of resemblance. Blinking, she looked again and sure it there it was, a resemblance. She clicked on the picture trying to find a name, anything to help her get a step closer. She felt her eyelids getting heavy though. Getting out of bed, she went downstairs going to the fridge and getting a canned soda, Coca Cola. After taking a large gulp, she knew it would work. She brought it upstairs with her, determined to stay up until she figured something out.
Going back to the computer, she found that the viking script she had clicked on was actually called Runic Script. Opening up a separate tab she found the symbols trying to put things together. She grabbed a pen and a piece of paper. Looking over the first picture she had taken, she wrote it to the best of her ability on her piece of paper before investigating what it meant. She felt her mouth slighty open in shock when she got halfway through.
Nikl-
She had a feeling she knew how the rest of the name would finish out.
And not to her shock the rest of the letters were a, u and s, spelling out Niklaus.
She went to the next name. When she discovered the first letter to be an E, she had a feeling it would be the name of the man who kept her on her toes. And it sure was.
Elijah.
When she found the first letter of the next name to being with a R, she knew it was Rebekah.
But what did that mean? She felt herself rubbing her temples as she finished the rest of her drink. How much of a coincidence could it be that it was their names written in the caves. Was that even a coincidence at all?! She pondered over it for a long time, until sleep took over.
All throughout the night Maddie tossed and turned. Those names in the caves were Niklaus, Elijah and Rebekah. At least the ones that she had discovered so far. She had ended up falling asleep with her computer still open and her pen and paper near it. She was grateful that she had least gotten her phone on the charger before she fell asleep. At five on the dot she walked back into her bedroom from her shower, she was anxious to figure out of the secrets of the tunnels and discover whatever connection it had to the originals. She didn't think she would be as interested if it wasn't for Elijah's name popping up. Her alarm had woken her up around four forty. She was sure she would have been up anyways, thanks to Damon's obnoxious calling.
"WHAT?!" She answered, seeing that she had already missed calls from him.
"Good your awake."
"I'll be there at five thirty!" She snapped.
"Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed."
"Someone is annoying," she responded back. "I'll see you in half an hour."
"Don't be late."
She rolled her eyes, hanging up the phone. She quickly put on a pair of bra and a matching thong before moving to her closet. She slipped on a pair of dark blue skinny jeans before she slipped into a blank short sleeve shirt. She searched, frowning when she couldn't find her green jacket. It stopped at her elbows, didn't have a hoodie but it was really cute. She wandered into Cordelia's room and sure enough it was hanging up in her closet. She took it off the hanger and smirked taking her white high top converse shoes. Going back into her room she finished getting herself together, combing through her hair. She walked over to her mirror and took a picture of herself in her outfit smiling, deciding to mess with Cordelia.
She posted the picture to her Instagram with a caption of "Found my jacket in my sister's closet, so I took it back … and her shoes."
Grabbing her backpack, camera and keys she headed out. She left her notes, knowing that she wasn't going to forget that kind of information. She considered stopping by Starbucks but didn't want to waste any time. She wanted to get as much information in as possible this morning. By the time she got there, Ric was just getting out of his car. She pulled up next to him before getting out, her backpack on, keys and phone in hand.
"Where's Damon?"
"Probably not too far behind, let's go." She followed behind him.
"Did you bring the camera?" Ric wondered, they were already in the tunnels by this point.
She nodded, even though he couldn't see her, considering he was leading. "Yeah." She looked around as she continued to follow. Ric had given her a flashlight when they first entered. "Does Tyler really not know that these tunnels are here?" Maddie wondered as she followed behind Ric.
Ric shrugged, not really answering. "Just be careful about the flashlight," he warned, "Bats hate the light."
Her movement immediately halted a frown spreading across her face, "What?"
"Maddison." Jumping, she spun around before smacking Damon, who was laughing at her expense, with the flashlight.
"You are an ass!" She exclaimed, "And don't call me Maddison!"
"Scardy cat," he said grinning like it was funny.
"Just ignore him," spoke Ric, "that's what I do."
She frowned, looking towards Damon, "I thought you were friends again."
Damon shrugged, walking past her following Ric. She sighed and followed behind him. Damon came to a stop eventually frowning, "This is as far as I go."
"What a shame," she said sarcastically but giving him a smile nonetheless. She set his backpack down by him, getting out the camera. She also left her phone and keys by him.
Damon watched her attach the lens to the camera and he commented, "Fancy."
"You know how mom is."
"Only the best for her young ones."
"Young ones?" She chuckled, "What are we five?"
"More like eighteen soon."
"It isn't even November yet."
He shrugged, "Maybe not but it'll get here eventually."
She grabbed the flashlight and had the camera in her other hand before walking over to Ric. "Whatcha looking at?"
"That," he pointed, "that right there stands for a moon cycle."
"No really? I got that from the moon drawn."
Damon chuckled, "Feisty in the morning."
She turned to look at him, "You know since you aren't actually of use, you should go get us some breakfast," she paused, "and some Starbucks. I could go for a cup of hot chocolate this morning, with whipped cream."
Ric looked down at her, "That actually doesn't sound bad."
"That's why he keeps me around. I'm full of brilliance." They both could hear Damon snort behind them.
Ric moved the flashlight, "That symbol means a man and a wolf."
"Werewolf." She stated, feeling a sudden chill come across her skin. It could just happen to be a coincidence but after last night, figuring out what those words meant, Niklaus, Elijah and Rebekah. And Klaus wasn't just a werewolf, he was a hybrid. She tried to think past that though, she wanted to observe all parts before coming to an absolute conclusion. Just in case she happened to be wrong. "Well, I mean I guess it's fitting considering that's the dark secret of the Lockwood family."
"It was said that the Lockwood's came here with the original founders," Damon commented from where he was sitting.
"Wasn't that in the eighteen sixties?" She wondered, hoping she wasn't wrong. Ric was her teacher after all.
"Someone's been paying attention during class," Ric noted.
"Not really." He gave her a look but couldn't help crack a smile.
"I know, but you have the highest class grade so I can't complain."
"Back to this!" Damon spoke, obnoxiously clapping his hands.
"Maybe the Lockwood's did come here in the eighteen sixties," Ric noted. "But according to this wall, these werewolves have been here a lot longer than that."
There was that chill again. "And how long is that?"
"Long," commented Damon.
"Wonderful."
"Can I see the camera?" Alaric wondered.
Maddie nodded, handing it over. She took her flashlight, going back to the names that rested in the tunnels. She just stared at them. Looking over other things that were around them, but mostly her eyes were just drawn to the names. Elijah's in particular.
"What's this?" She heard Alaric ask.
"I found it last night," she told him. "Did some investigating."
"This is why I keep her around," they heard Damon say. She turned her head, throwing a smile his way.
"They're names," Ric commented. "They aren't native."
"They're Runic," she told him. "It's a viking script." Ric said nothing and she felt her mouth opening. Something suddenly clicking in, "Do you remember the first day of school, when Rebekah came in and asked about the vikings?" Ric nodded. "Well that," she pointed over to one of the names, "that means Rebekah." She moved the flashlight, "And that is Elijah." She moved the flashlight again, "I'm sure you know what name that is."
"You've gotta be kidding me," muttered Damon.
"Nope."
"Why didn't you tell me this last night?!"
"I was busy sleeping!" She decided to ignore him and just continue on with what she had to say. She did however ignore the other names, not really sure if they knew about the other original siblings, but since they hadn't come into the picture she didn't consider them important, at least not right now. "So these are the names of the original family. That means that they were here before, or someone that knew them were here before." She moved her own flashlight around before she found what she was looking for. "Ric, you said before that this means man and wolf, so it obviously symbols a werewolf. Do you think it stands for Klaus?"
"Klaus is a hybrid," Damon commented.
Maddie rolled her eyes, "Yes I know, but maybe we will find a vampire symbol somewhere."
"Doubt it."
"You know, you really aren't helping so you should go get Ric and I some breakfast."
"That really does sound great," Ric muttered under his breath.
"Doesn't it, I feel like Starbucks is calling my name right now.
"Focus people!" Damon called, "So we know that this has to do with Klaus so far but what else is there in here?"
Maddie looked around, trying to find something. She felt like she was over thinking though, over analyzing. She made sure to get out of the way as Ric continued to get pictures.
"What time is it?" She asked Damon at one point.
"Six."
"Already?"
"Well we could have met a five but someone was in the shower."
"Still waiting on my breakfast." Ric smirked as he continued to take pictures. "Hey, do you think maybe the tunnel goes deeper?"
"I'm not sure."
"Doesn't hurt to check." She shrugged.
"Don't get eaten." Damon said in a joking voice.
"Thanks," she muttered sarcastically. She had a flashlight in her hands and Ric followed her. Along the caves there were more drawings. "I think it's a story," she commented. "Maybe it's their story."
"The story of the originals," he murmured. "I'm not sure whether to be excited or scared."
"Same here," she breathed out. She stepped back and watched as Ric took pictures of everything.
"I'm going to get these printed," Ric said to her, "mind if I keep this a tad longer?"
She shook her head, "Don't worry about it, keep as long as you need."
He nodded, "How did you put those names together?"
"I was on my computer last night and just typed in ancient scripts, or something along those lines and then I kind of took it from there. When I put it together I was shocked."
"Are you going to tell Klaus?" He wondered.
"Contrary to what everyone thinks Klaus and I aren't friends." She stated seriously. "We have an understanding of sorts. I mostly mind my business and he does what he wants either way. I'm not going to sit here and tell you I hate him though, that would be a lie. I don't understand him, but I don't think anyone really does, but I don't hate him." Even though he daggered my boyfriend, she thought the last part to herself.
"So you won't tell him about the caves?"
"Well he isn't even here, but no I won't tell him anything unless I actually have to. It's not like I owe him anything." Ric nodded, looking at her. "But I don't want you guys to do anything stupid, he is the hybrid after all."
"Duly noted."
They stood there in silence. It wasn't really awkward but it was getting there, if that made any sense at all. "Um … it's been quiet?"
"Maybe he actually went and got us breakfast," Ric grinned.
"Maybe!" She responded, suddenly excited to find out.
Sure enough Damon did get them breakfast. At least, he got them Starbucks, which Maddie couldn't stop grinning over. The minute she took a sip from the hot chocolate she felt relaxed. Ric and Damon stayed while Maddie left. Ric had told her that he there would probably be a sub for first period, she had a feeling that they weren't telling her something but she ignored it. Damon made sure she got into her car, promising to text her if anything new came up. She thanked him for the Starbucks and then left for school. On the way, she thought she passed Elena's car but she wasn't sure. She was sure when Elena didn't show up for school first period. Huh, she thought to herself.
School was now in full swing. As much as it could be anyways. Schedules were fixed, lunch partners were set and sports were in full swing. Bonnie and Matt had switched into first period. Maddie wasn't shocked. The only thing she was shocked about was that Bonnie hadn't done it earlier. She had a feeling the main reason she switched in was Rebekah. And Matt, well she didn't mind Matt at all.
Class went by rather quickly. It was actually nice to get through a class with no drama. She was thankful that Elena was probably with Damon and Ric and Stefan was still chained up. Leaving class she went to Calculus, dreading every single minute. Math was definitely her worst subject. She was thankful that at least in previous years she had her sister there to help her, but now Cordelia was off in college. She was pretty sure that her sister even got a five out of five on the A.P. Calculus exam.
Before third period, she made her way towards her locker. She was going to be late to class but didn't care, she needed a book and didn't feel like going back later.
"Maddie."
Maddie closed her locker, looking over at Rebekah. She smirked, "I see you learned how to say my name."
Rebekah smirked back, "Yes, yes. Staying out of trouble I hope?"
She frowned, "I'm never in trouble."
"No, but the people that you chose to surround yourself are full of it."
Maddie shrugged, "I surround myself around Damon."
Rebekah grinned, "I'm well aware. How does my brother feel about that?"
"Why don't you ask him?" Maddie wondered sarcastically, "Oh wait, your other brother, your lunatic one Klaus has him daggered."
Rebekah shrugged, "I'm sure he had his reasons."
"Well, this conversation is obviously not going to get us anywhere so I'm gonna end it."
Rebekah watched as Maddie got out one of her books and fixed her backpack. "Right, I'll see you later." She noted and began to walk before stopping quickly, looking Maddie in the eyes and saying, "By the way, if you want to call one of my siblings a lunatic, it would be Kol."
"Thanks for the heads up."
"WHAT THE HELL!" Maddie yelled, looking at Rebekah who was now sitting in her car.
"I bet you had a good laugh," Rebekah commented, looking straight ahead.
"Well hello to you too," said Maddie sarcastically. "You know, I don't know how they did it back then but it's not really normal for you to just pop up in someones car."
"How did you find him?"
A frown stretched across her face, "Find who?"
"MICHAEL! Don't act like you don't know."
"Michael?" The frown stayed, "Who the hell is Michael?!"
Rebekah then looked at her. "You're telling the truth," she seemed to be more so talking to herself then Maddie. "I can tell."
"That's great, now can you tell me who the hell Michael is?"
Rebekah gave her one last look before she was gone.
Without even thinking about it, Maddie took off. However, she wasn't going in the direction of home, she was going towards Ric's apartment. She had been there once before with Damon so she knew where it was. She wasn't sure if he was even going to be there, she had heard that he was staying with Elena and Jeremy, she guessed he took on the role of their guardian or whatever. She parked her car before getting out and hurrying inside the building. She didn't want anyone to see her and get the wrong idea. Finding his apartment she knocked on the door rapidly. When he opened it she let herself in.
"Sorry for the intrusion," she began, "I didn't want anyone to see me and get the wrong idea."
"Sure, I was just figuring out what the drawings mean." Ric gestured to a table where he had all the pictures layed out.
"Right," she pulled up a chair and sat down. She grabbed one of the pictures that had a post-it-note on it. It said, vampire. "So this is about Klaus," she said more to herself. "If this symbol means vampire."
Ric nodded, "Yeah, I figured."
"Well that's not why I came here."
Ric nodded again, "Not that I mind but, why are you here?"
She crossed her arms, sitting back, "Who the hell is Michael?" Ric looked caught off guard. "And don't lie to me either."
"Why aren't you asking Damon."
"Because I know that you'll tell me the truth," she thought about it, "at least eh full truth. Damon will probably give me some story and then I'll end up pissed at him later."
Ric looked at her not saying anything at first. She just stared at him, noting how uncomfortable he looked. "Damon isn't going to like this," he was more so talking to himself.
"Who cares."
Ric gave her one last look, before he let out what sounded like a defeated sigh. "Michael is a vampire hunter."
She looked at him with a blank expression, then she let out a small chuckle. "That's it? Vampire hunter?" She had been expecting something more.
"He is a vampire, that hunts other vampires."
"Plot twist." She was still chuckling.
"He also happens to be father to the originals."
Silence.
Maddie felt her mouth drop open. It opened and closed besides she just kept it open. Finally she breathed out, "Holy shit." The silence went on for a little while after that, "How long have you known?"
"After you left I spotted another name, Damon and I figured it out."
"This is insane."
"Ya think," he muttered.
After awhile she stood, glancing over all of the photographs. "Did you put the story together yet?"
"Not exactly, Elena's working on Rebekah."
She rolled her eyes, "She's always working on someone." She frowned picking up a picture, "This looks familiar."
Ric, who was standing slightly behind her nodded, "Yeah, I can't put my finger on it yet."
She nodded, setting it back down before turning to fast. She ended up bumping into him, "Sorry!"
"It's fine." She noted how he looked slightly uncomfortable, not a lot but it seemed to be there.
"Relax," she began to joke, "I mean I like older men but you aren't my type," Ric immediately looked at her as if she had five heads. "It was a joke Ric, lighten up." He let out a scratchy laugh, obviously still uncomfortable.
Maddie had left Ric's shortly after that. She thanked him for the information and asked him if he needed some more help, he declined and told her Bonnie was supposed to come over about something. That surely made her hurry up and leave. She didn't need any awkward cousin moments. The moment she got in her car, she made her way over to the boarding house. Letting herself in she searched for Damon, instead she found Rebekah and Elena. They both looked at Maddie as she walked in. She figured Damon wasn't there but could see that Rebekah had found some alcohol, judging by the bottle that was in her hand. "Maddison."
"Back to that again?" She wondered, not really annoyed. "Where is Damon?"
"Not here."
"Great," she felt Elena's gaze on her face. "I'll just be going then."
"No!" Rebekah's voice was clear, "Stay."
"I'd rather not?" It came out as more of a question than a statement.
"Don't you want to know my family's history." That got her attention. "Don't you want to know how we became vampires?" Maddie thought back to one of her conversations with Elijah about his family. She didn't know the whole story, however she knew that it had something to do with the death of their younger brother. "Or do you already know?"
"I know bits and pieces."
"So let me tell you the rest."
Maddie walked into the room and took a seat, "Alright, tell me." Rebekah began the story. She told Maddie of how they moved to a land that was said to have been safe after her parents lost a child. She told her of how they lived among the werewolf peacefully until, Klaus and her youngest brother, Henrik snuck out to watch them transform, which resulted in Henrik loosing his life. She then told them of how her mother was a watch. An ire sort of feeling came over Maddie when Rebekah said that.
"My mother did this for us," Rebekah said looking from Maddie to Elena. "She did not turn."
"How did you turn?" Elena asked.
"She called upon the sun for life and the ancient white oak tree, one of natures eternal objects for immorality." Rebekah walked around to stand in front of the fire place. A bottle in one hand and glass in the other."That night my father offered us wine laced with blood. And then he drove his sword through our hearts."
Maddie pitied them at that moment, the originals. She didn't want to, but she did. She coudln't image her father ever stabbing her through the heart.
"He killed you," Elena spoke. She spoke in a whisper.
Rebekah turned to face Elena, "And he wasn't delicate about it either." She opened the bottle, snatching off the top piece before throwing it into the fire. "It was euphoric. The feeling of power was indescribable. But the witch Ayannna was right about the consequences. The spirits turn on her and nature fought back. For every strength there would be a weakness." Maddie immediately thought of the sunlight, wood and vervain. "The sun became our enemy, it kept us indoors for weeks. And though my mother found a solution there were other problems. Neighbors who had opened their doors us could now keep us out. Flowers at the base of the white oak burned and prevented compulsion. And the spell decreed that the tree that gave us life could also take it away." Maddie looked at Rebekah's face and met her eyes, "So we burned it to the ground." Maddie moved her head to look at Elena, she was visibly upset which caused Maddie to roll her eyes. She was obviously upset about not getting the chance to kill Klaus. "But the darkest consequence," Rebekah continued, "was something my parents never anticipated. The hunger. Blood had made us reborn and it was blood that we craved above all else. We could not control it. And with that the predatory species was born."
"Why did Mikael start hunting Klaus?" Elena wondered.
Maddie was caught off guard. She frowned and Rebekah caught it, "Mikael is my father."
"I knew about that," Maddie told her. "I didn't know he was hunted Klaus however."
"Never thought Damon would keep things from you."
"You would be surprised," she muttered.
Rebekah sighed, "When Nik made his first human kill it triggered his werewolf gene. With that he became my father's greatest shame."
"Yeah, Elijah told me this part of the story," Elena said and Maddie knew that it was a slight dig at her. "Your mother had had an affair with one of the werewolf villagers. Klaus wasn't his son."
"She tried to make it right. She put the hybrid curse on Nik to suppress his werewolf side and then she turned her back on him. But Mikael's greatest weakness as a human was his pride. As a vampire that was magnified. He went on a rampage and killed half the village. Then he came home and killed her."
"Mikael killed your mother?"
"He said she broke his heart so he would break hers. He tore it from her chest as Nik watched. Afterwards my father took off in a rage and the rest of my family scattered. Nik stayed so he could help me bury her, he knew I had to say goodbye to my mother. Elijah came back and the three of us pledged always and forever."
"Always and forever," Elena spoke, "Even though he locked you in a coffin for ninety years."
"We're vampires our emotions are heightened," Maddie could tell she was on the verge of crying. "I'm stubborn, Elijah moral and Nik, Nik who had no tolerance for those who disappoint him. Over a thousand years we've all made that mistake at least once."
Maddie couldn't help but look down at her lap. She thought about how Elijah was paying the consequence now, rotting in a coffin somewhere. "I've made it several times."
"But you still love him?" Elena questioned.
"It's no different from your love to Jeremy," Maddie stepped in, standing up. "Look at all the mistakes he has made."
"That's different."
"Why because he didn't kill someone? He still hurt people. Look at Bonnie, your best friend. But you still love him. He's your brother, like how Klaus is her brother." She looked over to Rebekah who gave her a small smile.
"He's my brother and I'm immortal. Should I spend an eternity alone instead?" Rebekah asked Elena. She looked a the ground before saying, "You've heard the story it's time to go." Elena didn't move. "I said leave Elena! I don't know what you're up to but I am no longer playing along."
"I'm just looking for one good reason why we shouldn't wake Mikael!"
"And I've given you a thousand! But you will anyway, I know you want him to help you kill my brother I'm not stupid."
"It's no secret I want Klaus dead. He had a hold over Stefan's life," Elena stepped closer to Rebekah, "and over mine."
Maddie rolled her eyes, "Can you stop pretending to be madly in love with Stefan? It's sickening, especially when a part of you yearns for Damon."
"Do what you need. Wake Mikael at your own perel, make no mistake if you come after my brother I will rip you apart." Rebekah said, "And I get my temper from my father. Now leave." Elena did as Rebekah asked.
"And you?" Rebekah turned to Maddie. "What do you get out of this?"
"Nothing."
Rebekah snorted, "There must be something! What, you want my brother dead too?"
"No," she shook her head. It was the truth, she didn't want Klaus dead. "As much as he irritates me I don't want Klaus dead. Actually, all I want is Elijah back." Rebekah said nothing. "I'm sorry for everything that you have gone through, I really am. I'm gonna go now, have a good night." She walked past Rebekah and felt eyes on her until she closed the door to the boarding house.
Getting into her car she drove home. She sat in the car awhile, doing nothing before going onto social media. She smirked seeing her picture from this morning. It was two hundred and thirty two likes and a comment from Cordelia.
