Prologue

~ 1,008 AD ~

"Come on Bekah, Henrick, let's go see Kol and Nikkie take on Elijah." Hecate giggled, linking arms with her best friend and Bekah's little brother who was like her own younger brother. Rebekah smiled indulgently at her blonde best and only friend while Henrick bounced on the other side of Hecate feeding off of her exuberant energy. The trio arrived just in time to watch Kol and Nik take on Elijah who thought he was winning only for Kol and Nik to beat him with exuberant laughs tumbling from their throats.

"Go Kol and Nikkie!" The trio cheered earning bright smiles from Kol and Niklaus while a frown appeared on Elijah's face; however, the happy smiles quickly faded when they heard the angry yell of Mikael as he stormed over to Nik ignoring Kol and Elijah who had also been sparring.
"What do you think you're playing at boy!?" Mikael spat with barely restrained fury and a look of disgust on his face directed at his blonde-haired 'son'.
"We were just having fun, father." Niklaus replied meekly, shaking his head minutely at Kol, Rebekah and Hecate.

Nik, Kol and Rebekah were the only ones in the Mikaelson family to know that Hecate Rosewood, Niklaus' betrothed and Kol and Bekah's best friend was in actual fact the Triple Goddess of the Moon. It was a heritage passed down through her mother's side of the family where they gained their full powers once they were of age, and as Hecate's birthday was soon, she would soon be of age. However, they didn't want the rest of their family to find out as they dreaded to think what their mother and father would do with this information, and Elijah and Finn were constantly at loggerheads as they fought over a brunette woman named Tatiana, despite the fact that the woman bullied Rebekah and Hecate.

They had a feeling that if either Elijah or Finn found out they would inform Tatiana who would try and use Cate for her own gain which they wanted to avoid at all costs. Once Esther, so-called mother to Niklaus, Rebekah and Kol finally called Mikael off, Hecate rushed over to her betrothed checking him over for injury as she crouched down beside him while Kol and Rebekah shouted at their mother.
"Niklaus shouldn't antagonise him then this wouldn't happen." Esther scoffed over her children's protests.
"And if you were any sort of mother you wouldn't let this happen to your children!" Hecate shouted at the woman.
"Mind your words child or you may just live to regret them!" Esther threatened before she stalked off with Elijah on one arm and dragged Henrick with the other.

It wasn't until the tragic passing of Henrick that Esther lived up to her threat towards Hecate. She and her husband had just turned them into vampires where her greatest shame had come to light; she'd had an affair with a werewolf. For penance Esther had promised to bind Niklaus' wolf using Hecate as a binding of the Moonstone, having somehow gained this intel that she was the Goddess of the Moon, and even going as far as to bind Kol's magic so he could not undo the spell and resurrect Hecate with the destruction of the Moonstone. Knowing her parents would try to stop them Mikael killed them in front of the young girl before dragging her out of her home.

"Let her go! Father please! Please let her go! LET HER GO!!!" Niklaus, Rebekah - who was being reinstated by Finn, Niklaus by Elijah and Kol by Ayana's magic - and Kol screamed, scared for Hecate.
"It's okay. I love you." Hecate mouthed to them through the fire before Mikael plunged his broadsword through her heart, as Esther chanted a very Dark spell to bind her to the Moonstone, before smearing the blood upon the stone.
"NOOOO!!!" Niklaus' grief stricken scream covered that of Rebekah and Kol's own cries, the trio would've collapsed under the weight of their grief if it hadn't been bound.

However, what Esther and Mikael didn't expect was for Ayana to feel sorrow for the young girl who had her life stolen and whispered in Kol's ear how they could undo the spell and resurrect Hecate as her body would remain in stasis never decaying. This act sustained the trio throughout the thousand years of their existence as they sought to break the three curses: Nik's, Kol's and Hecate's.

"Wait, so not only is Klaus your brother but there's a double reason for him wanting to break this curse?" Elena clarified, feeling shocked that the person out to get her could be capable of love, she needed to tell the Salvatore brothers this so they can exploit his weakness.
"So he has a weakness. We don't have to use Bonnie, we can just get the Salvatore brothers to steal her and kill her for good!" Elena smirked, looking so like Katerina and Tatiana, but Elijah - like Finn - has always been VERY susceptible to the Petrova line.
"NO!! No you will not use Hecate. You use her or even attempt to, not only will Niklaus kill them in the most brutal way possible but this deal is off." Elijah warned.
"Fine. Fine." Elena waved off, while secretly still planning to execute this plan, if she could stab him twice in the back she wasn't above a third time; it's them or her and she'd always choose her.

~ Alaric's Flat ~

Once Niklaus had been returned to his body with Kol and several witches standing guard over a cherry wood coffin decorated in different phases of the moon and roses, Rebekah snapped Katerina's neck so she wouldn't get a glimpse of what this beautiful coffin held, as they knew the Salvatores had slipped her some vervain so she was now faking each new command they gave her.
"That's more like it." Nik sighed, happy to be back in his own skin. Once he was sure both Alaric and Kateirna were incapacitated he made his way over to the beautiful coffin, lifting the lid to find a stunningly beautiful woman with white-blonde hair and dressed in a green dress from the Viking era lying within.

"We'll soon be together again, my love." Nik whispered tenderly, gently brushing a knuckle against her cheek. "Only a few more weeks until the Full Moon and the curse will be broken and we will be together again my sweet Hecate. I love you Always and Forever, Hecate Celeste Rosewood."

To cause a spanner in the Salvatore and their brother, Elijah's, plans both Rebekah and Kol took Alaric to the Boarding House where they knew Elijah would be plotting against their brother.
"Oh Elijah!" Kol sing-songed causing everyone inside to freeze, especially Elijah who thought his siblings had all been killed.
"Why don't you come out my dear brother!" Rebekah added.
"Before we burn this house to the ground to force you out." Kol and Rebekah added fiercely.
"I thought you two and Finn were dead." Elijah whispered from the doorway but still not exiting the house, causing the twins to tighten their hold on the drunken teacher between them.

"Come now Elijah, I thought you were smart." Rebekah mocked.
"The only way to protect us is to make everyone think we were all dead. Besides, Nik has never daggered either of us. Ever." Kol told him,
"You should know that we have always been the closest with Nik then either you or our dear elder brother -"
"- the only one closer to Nik than us is Hecate and you were going to force us and Nik to be separated from her again."

"You've always been weak when it came to the Doppelgängers." Rebekah spat.
"B-but I-I thought..." Elijah stammered.
"Well you thought wrong. We've also come to let your drunk teacher go, and to let you know dear brother, that everything will go as planned. Nik will break both curses on him and Hecate then I will break my curse and if you try to get in the way or try to kill Nik or Hecate we will kill you!"
"So much for your Always and Forever." Rebekah gave one last scathing remark before she and Kol left, returning to Nik and leaving behind a deeply troubled brother.
