A/N~ This begins with Melisa being on the Other Side looking back at her life. There's a flashback within a flashback but I tried to make it an obvious change between flash's. The flashbacks are how she became a vampire. I did struggle trying to get my ideas across in this chapter but I hope it ok. After this there will only be one more chapter with this story. I hope you enjoy and let me know what you think :)

I stood alone in the coldness that was death, it was like 1000 years ago again as I finally took in my surroundings. As I looked down at my dead body a tear fell from my eye. We lay beside each other, hands centimetres apart. It just showed how close I was to getting him back, but now I was alone in the supernatural prison, no amount of good that I tried to do would give me pardon…After all I did choose this life.

After a few minutes of waiting for Kol I gave up, I guessed that beneath the sorrow I hoped that I'd sees him again, right beside me looking down at our dead bodies…But I had no such luck.

But what broke my heart even more was that he didn't stay here to wait for me, maybe he'd moved on?

I looked down at the doppelgänger crying over her brother's dead body, I felt guilt hit me immediately. Did revenge fix anything? I had ended up dead anyway…

I barely even realized that Klaus was still here; I gazed towards him and sighed at the tears that rolled down his cheeks. I knew that he loved his brother through everything, even if he hid it well. I stood by his side and lightly took his hand, I knew he wouldn't feel it but I didn't care.

"Don't let this haunt you Niklaus" I sighed "Don't forget your humanity"

I let go of his hand and began to walk away towards Josh who looked peaceful against the doorframe. Daniele was by his side stroking his hair, muttering words that I could barely understand. She seemed to look up at me, but I knew she couldn't see me. She continued to mutter her spell as she clutched at the young vampires hand, in death you learn things you'd never have known…she loved him.

I walked away from my death scene and down the street, alone, nothing not even the wind greeting me. I wanted to get away and be at peace, but how could I when I couldn't rest until I saw him.

*1000 Years Earlier*

I stared in shock as I became locked at the sight before me; I knew that Mikael had gone mad but this? One by one he'd slaughtered his children and now only Elijah, Rebekah and Kol remained.

I clutched at my heart as Elijah tried his best to protect his younger siblings, I watched as my best friend clutched tightly onto Kols shirt in fear. Her cries were sending me crazy. My heart pounded hard against my chest as I stared in at the scene, Esther watching me as I tried to stay quiet. Her face was sodden with tears as she held Finn's head in her lap, the heartbreak was written across her face. But she didn't stop Mikael from his murdering; she just cried and mumbled loudly.

"NO!" I heard Rebekah scream as Mikael through the sword into Elijah, he gasped with hurt and betrayal as he looked up to his father. As his body fell to the ground I heard Esther cry even more, both her beloved sons were now slaughtered in this horror.

Kol was now kicking his father back viciously as he tried to protect his little sister with his strength. He'd pushed her into the corner behind him and was now using himself as a barrier between them. I cried at his bravery as I knew it was no use, Mikael was cruel.

"Move boy!" Mikael roared but Kol stayed silent.

"Mother!" Rebekah screamed through her tears, I watched as Esther sat in silence cradling her dead sons, I was confused. Why wasn't she helping them?

I felt time freeze as I heard Kol's gasp, my glossed eyes locked on the sword that was through his chest. I clutched at my chest; it felt as if the sword was through my heart instead. I cried out which caught his attention, his dark brown eyes staring at me in despair as he fell to the ground, I felt as if it wasn't worth living.

Seconds later Rebekah was on a heap on the floor, the tears wouldn't stop, I'd not only lost my best friend but I'd also lost the love of my life. I felt cold, empty and haunted as the bloodshed stuck to my mind.

My breaths were heavy as I stood there, not able to mutter a word. In the absence of my mind I didn't notice that Mikael was beside me.

"You weren't meant to see that Melisa" I took a deep breath and rolled my eyes towards him. He sighed and shook his head before lifting me up, I screamed and kicked out but he was strong, unnaturally strong. I gasped out as his arms tightened around my chest as he carried me into his house.

"Mikael no!" Esther pleaded "She doesn't need to be a part of this! She's gone through enough"

Her words cut through my skin, but it was too true. I'd gone through too much within this month, and only Kol made me see through the darkness, but now he was gone.

*Flashback*

I woke up in an already bustling cave, the morning after the full moon was always tense, and everyone was reluctant to leave first. I looked beside me and frowned, my mother and little sister weren't beside me like they usually were.

"Father where's Mama?" He bolted up and looked all around him. I started to breath heavily as I weaved my way through the villagers but she wasn't anywhere.

"Melisa?" Kol's voice made me jump "Are you alright?"

"We can't find Mama or Édna" He frowned and took my hand before leading me to his family. He quickly informed them and they frowned, my mother wasn't one for scuttling off, she was always the last out of the caves.

"It'll be alright, we'll find them" He kissed my forehead, I suddenly felt a lot better.

For a few minutes I was hopeful, but then a deafening scream silenced the room.

"Rebekah!" Kol shouted before running towards the sound. We arrived to the caves exit and saw Rebekah panicking. I ran out and felt faint at the sight.

"Mama! Mama no!" I cried as I ran to her body just outside of the caves. "Mama!" I held her tightly in my arms. My father ran out and fell to his knees beside me.

"What happened?!" His voice wavered.

"Wolves…" I muttered through my tears, I felt Kol's hands on my shoulders as he lifted me up.

"It'll be ok" He held me tight and sighed, we were both broken.

Mikael shook his head and threw me to the ground beside Kol; I cupped his cold cheeks and lightly closed his vacant eyes. I'd lost everything; I was now a hopeless case. First my family and now Kol, what did I have to live for now?

I jumped in my skin when Finn bolted up gasping for air, my heart began to race as he patted where his wound was.

"What did you do?" He spat at Mikael coldly

"Made us unbeatable, strong and superior"

"You killed your own children!" He replied back as he looked at his younger siblings, Mikael just chuckled and walked towards me. I instinctively shuffled back but he pulled me by my leg "What are you doing?!"

I screamed and tried to cling onto the floorboards, I kicked him hard, my heart raced even more as is eyes changed. He lifted my up by my cheeks and snarled slicing at my arm, I gasped with shock before he threw me to the ground beside Finn.

"Drink!" Finn dropped his mouth in shock.

"What no! This is Melisa!"

"I don't care, drink!" I watched as Finn tried to fight the monster within, he pushed me back and shook his head. "Fine!" Mikael growled and grabbed his sons head and pushed him onto my arm, forcing him to feed.

One by one the Mikaelson's woke and each were forced to feed on me, by now I was barely breathing. When Kol woke he stared at me in disbelief before running to my side.

"What has he done to you?" He looked at my cuts in both horror and desire before looking into my eyes. I stroked his cheek and cried.

"I thought I'd lost you" I weakly smiled.

"Boy!" He jumped at his father's voice; he barely had time to react when his father grabbed my bleeding wrist and placed it into his mouth. Kol tried to fight but the force holding him down was too strong, the angrier he got the darker his eyes became until he pushed him back. I felt faint as I lay on the floor. "Her use is now up" Mikael coldly stated before raising his sword above me.

Just as he went to swipe Kol just forward, his hand got sliced but he barely flinched. With his sudden strength he swept me off my feet and carried me away from his murderous father. My heavy breaths making him frown.

"I can hear your heart" He sounded disturbed, before being snapped back into reality. He knew that Mikael would hear my breaths so he covered my mouth.

I grumbled and groaned in disgust as I tasted his blood in my mouth, but he just held me tighter in desperation to keep me hidden.

I suddenly gasped as I felt a sting in my chest; I tried to breathe as I looked in front of me. Mikael smirked with pleasure as he deepened his blade into my chest.

"No! Melisa!" Kol cried as my knees gave way, I barely had time to speak before I fell into darkness.
