(Prologue)
"Come on Rebekah and Tatia that is enough flowers. We need to get back to the village," I said while trying to get them to stop picking the flowers.
We were picking flowers for Rebekah's family home. She is the only daughter of Lord Mikaelson. She said that she wanted to give them all an assortment of flowers.
'"Okay, okay, okay!" Rebekah replied. "I just wanted to pick flowers together. We haven't picked any together since we were little girls."
"I know...It is just that it is getting late and there is a full moon tonight. I do not want to be out when the men turn into beasts."
"Okay Jasmina. Let us go back to the house."
We started walking to the Mikaelson house.
When we got there Rebekah Tatia and I started decorating the house with the flowers that we picked.
"Rebekah, is there anyone you fancy," Tatia questioned while putting up a row of red roses along the wall.
You see Rebekah Tatia and I are quite close. When my family and I moved here, Rebekah was the first person to talk to Tatia and me. She was five and we were seven, even twelve years later we are all still the best of friends. Her parents, Fin and Henrik are like my second family. For some odd reason, I do not feel a family connection towards the rest of the Mikaelson's.
"Well....I do fancy someone," She said quietly while blushing and peeking a look at me.
"Well who is the lucky gentleman," I asked turning around. As soon as I said that she stopped smiling. "What is wrong? Is it something that I have said? I am sorry if I have made you upset, why-"
"Jasmina, what are you doing here," Kol asked startled interrupting me. "I thought you, Rebekah and Tatia were picking flowers?"
"We were but I saw it was getting late and I did not want to be out when the moon was up."
"Oh, well that makes sense. So what are you ladies talking about?"
"Nothing. We were just decorating the house in these flowers that we picked. My favorite is the row of pink roses," I said while admiring the flowers.
"They are lovely, just like you."
"Why thank you Kol. That was very sweet of you to say," I said. "Where are the rest of your brothers?"
"Well Fin is in the study, Elijah said he was going into the village, and I do not know where Niklaus and Henrik are."
"Oh, well it is getting late I do worry about them," I said while looking out of the window.
"Worry no longer I will go look for them!" Kol replied and with that he ran out the door.
"No Kol wait you shouldn't go out there..." As soon as I got outside I froze. "AHHHHH!!! WHAT HAPPENED?! HENRIK NO." I ran up to Henrik's body and clutched him in my arms. "Redde meum dilectum. Redde meum dilectum. Redde meum dilectum." I repeatedly whispered. It did not work. "No Henrik you cannot leave me. You are my only younger brother."
"Jasmina please...he is gone," Tatia said and put her hand on my shoulder.
"He can't be. Nik what happened," I growled setting Henrik down gently into the lap of his mother.
"Henrik wanted to go see the men turn into beasts and I did not want him to go alone so I went with him. We saw one turn close to us, and he heard us and attacked....I am so sorry I tried to save him but I was too late."
And with that I got up and walked away. I did not know what I was doing or where I was going. I did not have any emotion.
I heard some bushes rustling, and turned around to see Elijah.
"Please come back with me. We are having a goodbye ceremony for Henrik. I- We would like it if you were there," Elijah begged.
"Okay lead the way Lijah." I followed behind him until we got inside the Mikaelson house. Everyone stood in a circle and I stood next to Rebekah and Niklaus. Next to Klaus stood Fin, Elijah, Kol, then Bekah and I.
'I wonder where Tatia is. She should be here with us.' I thought.
"My children, we have lost one of our own tonight, but never again," Esther said while handing me a cup of what I believed to be red wine. I took a sip of whatever was inside of the cup and handed it to Niklaus. It was a weird thick liquid.
After we all drank from the cup, out of nowhere I felt a sharp pain in my chest and I heard everyone scream and saw the look of pure shock on their faces before I looked down and saw a sword sticking out of my chest. I looked up and I saw Mikael standing over me.
Everything started to go fuzzy and I started seeing spots. I couldn't tell my left from my right I was so dizzy. I tried to ask why this happened to me but nothing came out.
I started to fall on the floor. As I fell, I hit my head against the table behind me and I was emerged into a pit of darkness.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I gasped waking up covered in blood. I looked at my bloody hands confused. I heard the quiet sounds of the night, except they were not so quiet anymore. I could smell the wet dew from the morning grass.
'Who am I? What am I?' I thought to myself as I looked down at my hands. They looked normal, but what caught my attention was the beautiful golden ring on my finger.
I don't remember anything.
I saw six people unconscious on the floor. I didn't know who they were. All I knew was that they were covered in blood just like me.
A man with shoulder length slightly curly blonde hair started waking up. I didn't know what to do so I ran. I ran into the village.
There was a little girl sniffling, with tears rolling down her cheeks, under the tree in the middle of the village. Oddly enough I could hear her heartbeat, and then I smelt it.
All of the sudden I became very thirsty and my gums started hurting. I ran my tongue over my teeth and felt four very sharp canines replacing my dull ones.
I stalked towards the girl and by the time I got to her, my thirst was taking over. Before I knew it I bit into her neck, and was sucking her dry until she was limp in my arms.
Once I was done, I dropped her on the ground. I could not hear her pulse that I could so strangely hear before anymore. She was dead. I could not believe what I had done. So again I started running.
As I got further into the woods, I started to slow down. Eventually I just stopped altogether.
I looked up to see the beautiful full moon and the stars that surrounded it. I didn't know why I was so afraid of it before. How could something so beautiful be so scary? I was almost mesmerized by the full moon when I heard people shouting.
"Jasmina, are you out here?" they kept repeating. That name seemed oddly familiar. Then I remembered, Jasmina is my name.
I was about to call out to whoever was calling my name when I felt all the bones in my leg crack, and I dropped to the floor. I screamed out in excruciating pain.
Next the bones in my back cracked making me hunch over. The bones in my arms cracked outward making my elbows point down.
I looked down at my hands which started growing fur and my nails elongated. This lasted for a little while longer and I blacked out once again.
Klaus' P.O.V
I woke up and everything around me was different. Everything seemed more defined. My hearing, smell, and sight were all so concentrated, so it was a shock to me that when I looked around the room, Jasmina was no where to be found.
I walked out of the house from the back and to the front. I still did not see her. As I was going to look in the village, Rebekah and Elijah came to the front of the house.
"Nik what on earth are you doing," Rebekah asked me.
"I am looking for Jasmina. I cannot find her anywhere. Do you two want to look for her in the village with me?"
"Of course we would Niklaus," Elijah said. We started walking toward the village when I smelled something in the air and my throat started aching. I look over to Rebekah and Elijah to see the same pained look on their faces.
I start to follow the sent. As we reached the village, I see a girl running into the woods.
"Look at the girl running into the forest that has to be Jasmina. That is the same dress that she was wearing earlier," Elijah said to no one in particular. My thirst immediately lost control over my body when I realized what Elijah's words meant he was doing.
"Why, brother, were you staring at my bride long enough that you could remember the dress she was in," I asked with anger and jealousy in my voice.
I was engaged to her. Jasmina was to be my wife. Elijah had no reason to look at her for such a time that he could remember what dress she was wearing when he knew what we were.
"Brothers!" Rebekah said interrupting my thoughts. "Stop your bickering so we can bring Jasmina back."
"Fine," I replied. Right now we had to get Jasmina, my brother can wait.
We ran towards where Jasmina disappeared to. We went into the forest and started calling out, "Jasmina are you out here?" We continued to call out. Not long after we were in the woods, I heard a cracking noise a little farther ahead. Not long after the cracking, there was a scream.
"Jasmina!" I screamed her name. I knew it was her. I do not know how but I just had a feeling. I ran at a non-human speed to where I heard the cracking noise coming from.
When I got there, I heard a very low growl. I turned around to face it.
It was a large white wolf. All the wolf did was growl at me.
I could not take my eyes away from the beauty of the beast. It's fur looked so soft and it glistened in the beauty of the moonlight. And it had the most unusually beautiful pink eyes.
I should be have been scared because its kind killed Henrik, but I was not.
"Nik, slowly step away from the beast and come towards me," Rebekah said quietly. I did as she said and backed away. The beast tilted its head as to look at me with a confused look.
As soon as I was next to Rebekah, it howled up at the moon and took off running in the opposite direction.
When the beast ran, my knees gave out and I fell to the ground. I heard Rebekah and Elijah calling my name but I did not respond. I could not respond.
Out of nowhere, I tasted something wet at my lips. Then I blacked out with the sweet taste rolling down my throat.
