Always and Forever
Part 2

"What are you doing?" asked Hayley moving away from his reach.
Adeline knew exactly what he was doing, so she remained in her place.. waiting for Elijah to show them his memories.
She had already seen them in the tv, but she was eager to feel them firsthand.

"Relax" he said sitting down in front of them "if you both open your mind to me I can show you."

He put his hands on the girls head before closing his eyes, the wolf and the redhead following his action.

"In the beginning, our family was human. A thousand years ago now. Although our mother dabbled in the dark arts, we were largely just a family trying to survive at a time when it was quite difficult to do so. And, for better or worse, we were happy. That is, however, until one night. Our youngest brother was killed by our village's greatest threat. Men that could transform themselves into wolves during the full moon. Our family was devastated. None more than Niklaus.
Desperate to protect the rest of us our father forced our mother to call upon her black magic in order to make us stronger. Thus, the first vampires were born.
But with the speed, this strength, this immortality.. came a terrible hunger.
No one felt this hunger more than Niklaus. When he killed for the first time, we knew what he truly was.
He wasn't just a vampire.." he told the girls before removing his hands and looking away.

"He was also a werewolf" Hayley said opening her eyes "that's how the werewolf curse works, it isn't activated until you take a life"

"Niklaus was the result of an indiscretion our mother had hidden from us all. An affair with a werewolf like yourself." He said turning his head again on the the girls "infuriated by this betrayal my father forced out mother to cast a spell that would suppress Klaus' werewolf side, denying him any connection with his true self."

While Elijah narrated them Klaus' story Adeline couldn't help but feeling sad. She couldn't imagine how hard it could've been for him to be neglected like that for being different.

"Your dad was a dick" both of the girls deadpanned.
Elijah chuckled at the girls.

"I'm Hayley, by the way. You should probably know my name if you're gonna tell me your whole life story. I mean, I know yours. Your family is legendary. Your brother is a notorious psycho.. who I slept with. Classic me."

"I'm Adeline, Hayley's right.. your family is a legend." She said not knowing what else to say to not look too suspicius.

"I cannot excuse his behavior but you must understand that our father hunted him, hunted us for centuries. Every time we found a moment of happiness, we were forced to flee, even here in New Orleans, where we were happiest of all." He said getting up and walking around the little chapel.
