So this is my new story! It will be multi chapter, I have the first 20 chapters done so far. So you know this will take place when they were human and then will go to when they are vampires. ENJOY!

"Caroline, wait up!" I turned to see Rebekah running to me. Rebekah has been my best friend since we could walk. I could talk about anything with her; we were like sisters practically. "Hey, Caroline, I'm sorry. My mother made me stay to help with dinner."

I smiled up at my friend. "Its fine, Bekah, you want to go to the field before dinner?" I loved the field in the spring; all the flowers were just gorgeous and the horses would go there to graze.

"Yeah, come on, maybe we'll see Kol and Nik." We ran off to the field. Niklaus was talking with my brother Garrett; Finn was talking to Felix, my oldest brother. I ran over to Elijah and Kol. Every time I would go near Kol, he would blush and run away. I never understood why he did that. As Kol ran to Niklaus and Garrett, Rebekah and I played with Henrik and Elijah. Elijah was the second eldest of the Mikaelsons. He was only 7 years older than me, but he seemed so much older than his age. Finn was twenty, same age as my oldest brother Felix. Garrett was sixteen and Niklaus was fifth teen. I was only a few months older than Rebekah. But she was more mature, I always thought.

"Caroline, stop staring at Niklaus." I had a huge crush on Rebekah's older brother. I might have only been ten but I believed I was in love with him.

"Sorry, Rebekah"

"You know one day you're to marry Kol, so you should like him, not Niklaus. He will end up with another girl in the village." I knew she was right but I could not help how I felt about Niklaus. Niklaus never even looked at me. The only people he talked to were his siblings and Garrett. I always felt left out when they would all go off and I was stuck with my youngest brother Gavin. He was Henrik's age. Henrik and Gavin were only seven but bothered me big time. "Caroline!" Rebekah yelled. I looked up; everyone was leaving and I heard yelling. Mikael. He was the meanest man in the village; he was head of the village and no one ever questioned him. My dad was very close with Mikael. I never understood why. My dad was the complete opposite of him. But when he was around my dad would act sticker to impress him. I never understood why. I hated him though all he did was yell at, and hit his children most of all Niklaus; I felt pity for him. He would always have marks from what Mikael did. No one knew he hit him, though, out of his family but I did.

I learned it by walking one day with Rebekah a year ago and twe heard yelling then saw him slap Niklaus right across the face. I wanted to stop it but Rebekah would not let me. She made me run away and leave with her. Since that day I always have felt pity for Niklaus and have just wanted to hug him and tell him that he was not worthless. I kept walking, ignoring the loud yelling from Mikael. Oh, how she hated that man! We walked back to the hut and ate dinner. I made conversation with Elijah. A lot of the time he was nice to me and always sat next to me. Kol would always make a face at him for it. I would never understand Kol. He was so odd. "Caroline, are you alright, my dear?" Dear? Since when did he call me that?

"Yes, sorry, I'm just worried for your brother," I whispered to him.

"He will be fine. Have no worry for him, Caroline. You have no need to." I just nodded her head and went back to my deer. I had to admit Elijah did have something about him that made me smile big at him when he was nice to me. I finished and went off to the hut before the sun set. No one was ever allowed out of the hut after the sun would set.

I bundled up with Gavin and Garrett. They would always keep me warm. The spring was nice during the day, but at night, it was freezing. Winter was nothing to compare to. We would have to all huddle near the fire at night in winter. But it was very cold in the spring as well. I felt my eyes beginning to shut on me as I drifted off to sleep. Hopefully tomorrow would be a better day. I awoke to Gavin jumping on me. "Calm yourself, Gavin. I'm not Garrett. I can not take such horse play." He frowned at me before giving my breakfast to me. Eggs! my favorite! "Thank you, Brother."

"You are welcome, Care bear." I gave him one of my bright smiles before he started running off to do chores. I finished my breakfast then went outside to help with the chores. I grabbed a bucket and headed to the water. I was told ladies do not get water unless asked but I liked doing the men's jobs. I hated following rules. I walked down to the lake and saw Kol with Henrik. Kol was only a year older than me but he would never talk to me. He looked up to see me and grabbed Henrik and ran. Henrik saw me and yelled hello. I smiled at him and grabbed the water.

"Why must we hide from Caroline? She is not bad."

"Because," Kol yelled.

"Because why?" Henrik yelled back.

"Because I said so, now stay quiet until she's gone." I rolled her eyes. Why must he always be like this? Maybe we would, could be friends. Maybe it's because we will one day be married. I don't understand why he would be scared of me because of that, though.

I walked back to the hut and saw Elijah waiting outside for me. "Good day, Miss," he said.

"Hello, Elijah." Why is he here? Rebekah always helped me clean clothes.

"Rebekah was not feeling well, so I was asked to help you." Oh, well then that answers that.

"Okay, why you though?"

He smiled and said, "Well they asked Kol but he chose to look out for Henrik than help you. It must be because he likes you."

Oh, that makes sense. "Okay," I said, confused. Elijah grabbed the clothes and walked down to the water with me. We cleaned the clothes in silence. "Elijah, what do you mean Kol likes me?" I asked, confused.

Elijah laughed then said, "Well, he likes you more than friends, like our parents like each other."

"Oh." I understood now; that explains so much.

"Do you understand now, Caroline?" he said, smiling.

"Yes, I do now." He nodded and grabbed the clothes.

"I think its time to go back." Elijah and I spent the day together. He told me stories about dragons and mermaids. They were amazing. I wanted to be a mermaid; I wanted to swim away from here and find somewhere new to go. Be someone new. Maybe then I would feel accepted. At dinner it was announced that my family would be leaving for another village weeks away from this one. It broke my heart that we would have to leave.

I was walking back to her hut when I saw Niklaus sitting on a hill watching the sunset. He looked sad and lost. I could not help myself and ran to him. I sat down next to him. He didn't seem to notice me for a minute and I enjoyed the silence while it lasted. "What do you want, little girl?" Oh, he does not seem happy. He smirked. I smiled at him. Maybe this is working. "So, you think bothering me would make me feel better? Get out of here. No one needs your annoyance."

What? I sat there staring. Oh, no, what did I do? "I'm sorry. I thought you may want somebody t "

He cut me off. "Well, you thought wrong. Now, get out of here before you regret ever being born," he yelled at me, scaring me. I could not get my legs to move. I felt a tear in my eye. "I said go," he yelled again, scaring me further. I got up fast and ran away crying. I ran into my hut and found Garrett sitting near a fire with our mother. I ran to him and hugged him.

"What's wrong, sweetie? When we leave, it will be for the better. You will see," my mother said, stroking my hair.

"No," I weeps into Garrett's chest. My mother stared at us. I felt horrible. My mother always tries to love me but I would never let her. I always ran to Garrett. I was so close with him. I felt like he was more of a father to me than my very own. I fell asleep in his arms. For some reason, I always slept better in someone's arms. I hate you, Niklaus, the thought sending me into deep sleep.

When I woke up, the hut was almost empty. We were leaving today, so I would have to go and say goodbye to Rebekah, Henrik and Elijah. I hugged Henrik and told him goodbye first then Elijah scooped me up and kissed my cheek. "I'll see you again one day, little deer." I blushed as he put me down. I really liked Elijah. Why can't he come? Rebekah and I hugged for what felt like an hour. I was going to miss her the most. She always braided my hair and put flowers in it. I would miss that.

"I will see you again one day, and you will tell me all the stories of where you've gone to." I felt her heart break. Oh, how I will miss you!

"I love you," she said, hugging Rebekah again.

"I love you too, sister." I said, feeling tears in my eyes. I saw Niklaus next to a tree, saying goodbye to Garrett. He looked sad. It broke my heart to see him sad. Wait, didn't he just yell at you? Get it together, Caroline. Garrett walked over, grabbing me and putting me on a horse with him. Iwas about to leave and never come back. Well, maybe one day, but for now, I had a new life that awaits me.

I hope you liked it. It was not my best chapter but it was necessary. Trust me it will get better if you stick with me. Review and hope to see you soon. Don't be she to PM me questions or anything!
