Chapter 6; Nature is angry

"Forever? You gave mother the ritul for immortality?" Asher smiled.

"Yes . . . now we have eternity in all of it's glory together! I love you so much Kol!" This was so much to take in. I am immortal and my fiancé is responsible for it. This is amazing.

"Wonderful!" I grabbed Asher and hugged him tightly. My mother smiled as she watched us both.

"Your father and brothers are burning the great white oak tree so it can never be used against you." Forever. We would live forever.

"One more thing dear. Here is a ring. It has been enchanted so you can walk in the daylight." I took the ring from mother and put it on. Mother left me and Asher in peace. I held out my hand and he took it. I pulled him close and held him tight. I rubbed the back of his neck and kissed him on the cheek. He pulled away and looked slightly concerned.

"Something wrong darling?" He chuckled.

"Nature was more angry than I had originally anticipated. There is one more consequence your mother doesn't know about." Consequence? "What is it Asher?"

"There is a great blood lust. I fight the urge to rip someone's throat out and drink them dry."

"I wouldn't worry. We have forever to control our blood lust." Asher smiled and leaned in for a kiss. I was more than happy to grant his wish. He deepened the kiss. Before I could react he chuckled and pushed me to the ground several feet away.

"Let's see if I can finally beat you in a wrestling match." I got up and smiled. "Come at me darling!" Asher moved in a flash of speed. My eyes were able to keep up with his movement. He went low as always. I jumped up putting my hands on his back and flipping over him. He twisted and grabbed my arm. I was shocked and couldn't react as he flipped me away towards the lake.

I got up slowly from the ground. "Someone has been practicing." Asher smirked and ran at me again. He jumped at me gracefully in the air. His body twisting in a spinning motion. I grabbed him mid – air and tossed him to the ground. He flipped on his hands and landed angelically on his feet.

"Earth hear my call, make this man as still as a wall." The earth shot from the ground and grabbed my legs and my wrists and held me tight. Even with my increased strength I was unable to move. Asher walked to me with a mischievous smile. He got to me and kissed me on the lips. "Got you."

"You cheated. This magic . . . it seems so much stronger than normal."

"The effects of being a vampire. My magic is even increased. However it is also limited." Asher tapped the earth and it broke away, letting me go. I put my hands on his face and kissed him deeply.

"How so?"

"You. Without you my magic is useless. I need you or your blood in order to maintain my magic." I had an idea. "I have an idea, I'm going to drink from you. I want you to do the same, a new way to show our love for one another." I pulled Asher close and bit into his neck. He bit my neck and we drank from one another. I didn't know it but my mother was watching our exchange.

"I love you Asher." I kissed him on the lips softly.

(Asher)

It's been a week since becoming a vampire. It is beyond words to describe. Kol closed down his smith shop. I still had the Apothecary but I didn't operate it very long. It was time for a little fun in our lives. Why waste eternity on work?

I just got done with the shop and as I was on my way out, Rebekah ran up to me. She seemed frantic over something.

"Asher! It's not good. Niklaus . . . he killed someone and . . . and." I was confused.

"And what?"

"He turned into a wolf. He is one of those men who change. Mother had an affair! Father is furious." Oh that is very unfortunate. Mikael was always pissed as a human. Its double that now. Rebekah motioned for me to follow her. I followed her to the center of the village. There was something wrong in the air.

Nature was grieved. A magic was cast and blood spilled. Rebekah fell to her knee's. I looked ahead and I could see what she saw. Esther was dead. Her heart was ripped from her chest. The children were surrounding her. Ayana was also with them. She was muttering something.

I walked over to Kol. He was kneeling before his mother. He had a single tear fall down his cheek. Elijah and Finn were working on a coffin for her. They didn't know it, or even I but Ayana was casting a spell to preserve her body.

I put a hand on Kol's shoulder. He looked up at me with glowing eyes. I didn't know what to say. "Is this what they meant?" I looked down at Kol in confusion.

"What are you talking about?"

"I had a dream. In the dream, the wind spoke to me. It said for what we want most, there is a cost that must be paid in the end. It said nature demands payment." Nature it seemed has a sadistic side.

"Darling . . . that is for another time. What happened here?" Klaus turned and rushed me. He grabbed me by the throat. "This is family business!" I smirked and grabbed his wrist. I twisted it making him wince in pain. I used my other hand and pushed him to the ground roughly. The others were surprised. They didn't know I was also a vampire. I was pissed though and intended to hurt Klaus. I growled and rushed him. Kol jumped in between us and stopped me before I could get to him. He put his hands on my face and hushed me.

"It's ok darling. Be still, focus on me." My temper began to calm down. Elijah helped Klaus up.

"How are you that strong? Are you . . . are you one of us? How?" Before I could answer Klaus, Kol interrupted.

"I turned him. I didn't want to live forever without him and I didn't want to risk killing him in a lust for blood.' They all seemed satisfied with the answer.

"How do you turn someone into a vampire without the use of magic?" I had to act quickly. Kol didn't know the answer to that.

"You feed a living person with your blood. Then you kill them while they have the blood in their system. When they awake they have to drink human blood and then they become a vampire. Lesser vampires can be killed easier than any of you." Klaus seemed intrigued.

"I believe this is all for another time. Who killed Esther?" Niklaus smugly answered. "It was father. He couldn't stand her affair and in a fit of rage he killed her. I saw it all. He ran after it happened." I looked into his eyes and saw lies. No doubt the others believed him because of their distress.

Finn and Elijah put Esther in the coffin for her to rest eternally. I took Kol back with me to the house. He was much better. One of the perks of being a vampire was the ability to get over things quickly.

When we got back to the house Kol sat down in our dining area. I sat next to him and took his hand in mine. He looked me in the eyes.

"Asher, let's leave. There is nothing left for us here. Let us go somewhere else in the world." I smiled at his desire.

"Let's do it love." He smiled at me and he led me to our room to pack our clothes.

As we finished up with all that and were on our way out of the village. I cast a preservation spell on our house so it would never age or crumble. Now it was time to see new horizons and new land.

(Klaus)

Finn and Kol were gone. Father was also gone. I killed my own mother in a fit of rage. I . . . I didn't want to. She was my mother and she always watched out for me. She shielded me from father on more than one occasion. If I could take it back I would.

Rebekah was distraught over our mother. It was me, her and Elijah. We made a pact here in the village. Rebekah asked us to stick together as one, always and forever. I intend to keep that promise.

(Kol)

It has been three months since becoming vampires. Asher and I are in France now. We are in an outer providence on our way to Spain. We have seen new lands and spread our gifts among the people of the lands, well I have. Asher only turns witches and he has yet to find himself witches he wants to turn. From what he has told me, only strong witches can become vampire witches. In three months I've turned over one hundred people into vampires. It's become one of my favorite hobbies.

In Spain we are thinking about compelling the kingdom to us for a little bit. We haven't decided what we want to do just yet. The great thing is, we have forever to decide.
