Drawn into your mystery

I was just beginning

To see your ghost

But you must know

I'll be here waiting

Hoping, praying that

This light will guide you home

When you're feeling lost I'll leave my love

Hidden in the sun

For when the darkness comes

My brother and I are the first vampires in history, the Originals. Three hundred years ago, we called New Orleans home. Now, we've returned, drawn by a witch who seeks to use my brother Klaus' unborn child as leverage in a brewing war. But his quest for power has turned brother against brother and mate against mate, leaving our family more divided than ever. Now that Elijah has returned, can our family unite to face this new threat?

I sit on Lijah's lap as he reads his mother's grimoire. It's been a peaceful morning and I'm cherishing every minute of it seeing as at any moment a full-blown war can start.

I shift on Lijah's lap feeling the baby kick. I place my hand on my stomach and smile. Both Lijah and Nik, who sits on the couch across from us, look at me in question.

I grab Lijah's hand and place it to the side of my belly, where I felt the first kick
