Monsters Like Us

by OKBooey31

Time took its toll as they wandered down the path of eternity and farther into the darkness that overcame the world they once knew. And slowly, one by one, the three who had vowed to stick together succumbed to the darkness' powers as the world became more and more desolate and empty and the light seemed to vanish. *TEMPORARY HIATUS*

Prologue

"Night will fall and the dark will rise when a good man goes to war."

Caroline Forbes finally showed up on his doorstep one day and stayed with him, never once straying from his side. And as thrilled as he was at this outcome, he couldn't understand why. Why would she want to stay with a monster like him who, sooner or later, destroyed everything he came into contact with? What could someone who was so bright and pure see in someone like him?

She gave him many reasons, one being his strength and how much he dealt with, how much he had been through. She said it defined him.

After a thousand years, Niklaus Mikaelson has become a master of disguise. He puts up fortresses around thoughts of his past, around emotions, guarding them from everyone. Including himself.

But not even he, the almighty and all-powerful Original hybrid, could hide from his past forever no matter how strong he is.

A/N: I know, I know another pretty boring prologue but the next chapter will be up shortly after this one. there are three parts to this story, one for Klaus, Elijah, and Rebekah, and each will be framed by it's own prologue and epilogue. so, bear with me and the structure lol. and, as for Klaroline, there's a tiny bit more in the epilogue but that's about it.

thanks for reading and, pretty please, review if you have a minute to let me know what you think:)
