Chapter 5

First meetings, Paris 1785.

Alana was 19, a stunning beauty even at such a delicate age, not quite an adult but still maturer than most of her friends who were of a similar age. She took her fsther's hand as he helped her down from the carriage after a long journey to the English Embassy in Paris, where she and her father would live and he would work.

There was a young, handsome gentleman waiting outside the embassy to welcome them. He rose from the bench he was sat on to greet them.

"Mr Fitzroy? Elijah Mikaelson. Welcome to Paris." The gentleman said, his voice revealing him to be English as well, as he stretched out his hand for Alana's father to shake.

"Good day to you, mr Mikaelson. May I present my daughter, Alana." Alana curtseyed politely and offered her hand to Elijah, who placed a polite kiss to her knuckles.

"Enchanted to make your acquaintance miss Fitzroy." Elijah smiled, a smile which sent an involuntary shiver down Alana's spine. Her life would change forever after that moment, not that she knew it yet.
