It had been centuries since Klaus had ever stepped foot in the town of Mystic Falls. It was a town like no other. A town filled with rich history, buildings older than the people living there, and Klaus had once called it home. He returned after having to run for so many years, hopefully he could settle once more in his homeland. Though, he is faced with new faces. Faces of those he now calls his enemies. Klaus Mikaelson rarely had any friends, so therefore he trusted only himself. Klaus wasn't alone. His siblings had come along with him - Elijah, Rebekah, and Kol. "Hope this time we're not going to fail an attempt to reclaim Mystic Falls, Nik." Rebekah entered the home where she and her brothers were currently staying. Rebekah, despite being the only girl, made a name for herself amongst her brothers. Of course she wasn't going to let the bully her around. "My sweet sister, no one can even come close to hurting us. Let alone, use a weapon that could destroy us." Klaus reassured her. He was sure that they could almost easily take out those who plotted against them. He was too proud to admit his weaknesses, thinking he had none.
"How do you know for sure Nik?" Kol, stubborn as he was, knew his brother's intentions. They all did. He knew what Nik was capable of and seeing how his elder brother held himself, Kol almost instantly laughed at the thought. Almost always did Kol disagree with his brother, and Klaus didn't like it at all. "Kol's right." Elijah, whom they believe was the most honorable brother. Elijah presented himself that way, but he had secrets of his own. He had secrets that he didn't want to fully admit to his siblings. Klaus rolled his eyes at his family, thinking that one day they too may plot against him. Throughout the years, Klaus had always gained or lost their trust with his actions. He didn't care whose side they were on. He could handle things on his own.
Klaus had gone out later that evening for a hunt when he came in contact with a young girl. "Great. You made me lose my dinner." She shoved him out of the way, but that only angered him. Klaus pinned her against one of the large trees with his fangs baring and all. Seeing that she didn't flinch, Klaus marveled at the thought of why this human didn't fear him like the others. She stood before him defensively. She was mad because he interrupted her hunt. Klaus gave a quick once-over, analyzing her features. "Get off." She pushed him off and fled. Quick flashes ran through his mind, reminding him of his last encounter with a girl like her. The same hair, eye color, and the same tone of voice. Her name escaped him, but she looked familiar. He remembered meeting her in New Orleans so long ago.
New Orleans, Louisiana.
"How long are we staying here?" Rebekah asked. The four of them - Klaus, Elijah, Kol, and Rebekah - entered the house they had once called home. Klaus couldn't answer his sister, who sounded almost impatient. He was in no rush to leave New Orleans just yet. He wanted to stay for a little while. He enjoyed the city itself, the people, everything. He was out on the streets one night and smelled blood. He followed the scent to an alleyway, where he saw a young girl at the neck of an innocent bystander. He stood, watching because he dare didn't want to interrupt the girl from having her meal. He saw that she stopped herself, dropping the dead body on the ground. "Why are you watching me?" The girl turned to face him. Her blue eyes ablaze underneath the moonlight. Her jet black hair, shining. Klaus could see the trail of blood running down the side of her mouth, but that he didn't focus too much on. He focused on the girl standing before him. It had been so long since he had seen a girl as beautiful as she was. "I was admiring your... talents." Klaus walked up to her. The girl didn't move from her spot. He guessed that she was mesmerized too.
"Klaus Mikaelson." Klaus held out his hand towards her direction. The girl reached out to shake his hand, but before she could properly introduce herself, a sound was heard from far away. "Hope we run into each other again soon Klaus." The girl smiled and fled the scene, leaving Klaus with the dead body for him to dispose of. Klaus was lost in her eyes the moment they met. A small part of him did hope that he could see her again, and in fact, he did.
"Back so soon Niklaus?" Elijah asked as Klaus entered through the door. Elijah and the other two realized that there was something noticeably different about Klaus. Rebekah could see it in his brother's eyes because she had seen that look before. "You met a girl Nik?" A smirk spread across her face. Klaus denied that he had encountered a girl earlier that evening. Kol noticed too, but didn't comment on it. He was thinking about finding out who the girl was and winning her heart before Nik does. "Tell us brother, what is on your mind?" Elijah was curious as to why his brother had come home looking as if he was smitten. He hadn't seen that look in a very long time. Klaus kept his mouth shut. He didn't want to answer any questions until he was sure of the girl he had run into was her. Everyone knew about his former affairs with a girl because he rarely ever talked about them. "I assure you it's nothing, and all of you are reading my actions the wrong way." Klaus told them before retreating to his room. He closed the door behind him, running through the names inside his head of the girls he had encountered. None of them stood out, except for one. Her.
