When it all began
A thousand years ago
Esther turned her children into vampires. The first vampires to walk in the earth, she couldn't bear lose another child so she made them immortals
While immortality protected her children from death but it brought a worse side of effect. Bloodlust, a strong hunger of blood and after each of them made their first kill, one of her greatest secrets was revealed
Niklaus Mikaelson wasn't her husband's son, it was her werewolf lover son. Niklaus Mikaelson was half werewolf, half vampire.
His mother knew how reckless and impulsive her son was, so she created something to keep his humanity alive, someone to keep him from the darkness. A soulmate bond between him and a werewolf young girl so he could feel loved and wanted
Thousand years later
A sixteen years old Selena Gilbert was in a road trip with her friends, they were all drunk singing out loud celebrating her birthday as they enjoyed the night. All of sudden the boy who was driving slammed on the brake as another car hit them causing her to scream in fear before fluttering her eyes shut
A little while after, she opened her eyes only to hear someone grunting in pain, when she looked up to see one of her friend losing a lot of blood, she approached him slowly as he was breathing heavily
"Please kill me... it hurts" he whimpered and she shook her head tearfully
"No, we'll call 911" she told him weakly stroking his hair "They'll be here"
"No, Lena do it please. I know I won't make it, please the pain is too much. I can't take it anymore"
Selena looked away closing her eyes as she put her hand on his mouth and the other one on his nose to stop him from breathing. When she felt him died she removed her hands sobbing
All of sudden her eyes flushed gold as she saw a vision of a man with blue green eyes and it disappeared in few seconds
