The year is 2013 and I live in Mystic Falls, Virginia. My name is Elijah Mikaelson and I am an Original vampire like my sister. Our father and mother are dead. Our family is unlike others, because we feud for so long. I'm not like my brothers and sister, though. I'm far from it. I live by loyalty, honor, justice, love, and doing the right thing. I love them, even though I'm not like them. I don't take things out on others and I don't go for revenge, like Klaus and Kol and Rebekah do. But no matter what, I still love Katerina. And though we may feud, our words of promise still mean everything. "Always and forever," is our promise to one another. It means that no matter what, we'll stay together until we are no more.

It's a dark night, as I walk casually through the woods. It's one of the few things I enjoy the most. It's enjoyable, and it helps me think if I need to. Tonight is beautiful with a full moon shining overhead. Everything is quiet, except for the crickets chirping.503Please respect copyright.PENANAlxsDGRwGck
I stop, sensing it; a vampire. Then I'm attacked by him. He pins me down on the ground on my back, his hand around my throat.503Please respect copyright.PENANAioI1qDxEov
"Elijah," he says.503Please respect copyright.PENANABpX3UJoQcS
"Yes; and you are?" I say through the pain of his hold, having never seen him before.503Please respect copyright.PENANAzY2z6bpWSx
"Judas; an old enemy of Klaus'; I'm sending a message to him," he answers me.503Please respect copyright.PENANAqlJualURvo
"What's the message?" I ask.503Please respect copyright.PENANATRNrkUI4Cu
"You'll know soon enough," he replies.503Please respect copyright.PENANAt6ZxYWITgN
In a swift motion, he stabs me with a dagger and I smell vervain. Pain surges through me, as he stabs me. Then everything goes black.
