Mystic Falls, 977-Late 990's

Esther frowned picking up a crying baby with both Finn and Elijah by her side seeing the baby. It was late winter and Esther was trying to find some berries but she was heavily pregnant so her younger sons wanted to help as it was better than going hunting with their father. Esther looked around trying to find any signs of the baby's mother or father but saw nothing.

"Mama the baby is cold." Elijah says as Finn got out an blanket he brought for resting and used it to wrap the baby in as Esther was taken back how her sons were so focused on the baby that it had stopped crying looking at the boys. Esther looked over the baby seeing it was a girl and was quite small for her age having soft caramel skin and curly dark hair with unnaturally blue eyes that would flicker red at times but the witch was pulled from her thoughts when Finn took the baby girl.

"We can't leave her mama." Finn says when he noticed his mother was placing the baby girl down as something told Esther to not trust the baby girl and Elijah was warming the girl's small hands.

"I am sure her parents are looking for her."

"But mama it is nearly night fall. She'll freeze to death." Elijah said frowning along with Finn at the idea of leaving the girl.

"Alright but don't be upset if your father tells us to give her away."

"We shall keep her." Mikael says surprising Esther as they got back Finn gave the girl to his father as Elijah explain when Esther saw that red flicker in the girl's eyes and Mikael agreeing with his sons to keep the girl. That night while her husband slept and her sons having the newest member of the family sandwich between them, Y/N was the name Mikael gave the girl and Esther couldn't help but feel something was wrong with the girl. Esther pricked the girl's finger to get her blood then went to her friend for help.

A four year old Y/N squealed as she and Niklaus wobble to the older Mikaelson boys when Elijah and Finn had returned with Mikael and a few men from a hunt. Elijah smiled kneeled down as the tots cling to him as Finn chuckled getting down to their eye level also smiling when Y/N kissed his cheek. Esther watched as her sons greeted their sister as while they were gone she watched her dear Niklaus cling to the girl as all he wanted was to be with Y/N instead of his mother.

"Dada! Dada!" Y/N squealed making her way to Mikael who brighten seeing the toddler lifting her up with the other men smiling heading to their own children. Esther hated watching Mikael turned from a brute to a doting father as he adored his children and Esther couldn't believe that she was allowing this demon around her family.

"Hello my little Princess. And hello my little wolf." Mikael says lifting Niklaus up with his other arm making the boy laugh clinging to his father as he walked over to the hut while Finn and Elijah brought the meat. Esther forced a smile feeling Mikael press a kiss on her temple as he passed her carrying the giggling tots as her oldest set up the meat. Esther hated it knowing that the little girl had her family wrapped around her little finger.

Y/N grew into a beautiful young woman as many other mothers told Esther that Y/N was clearly blessed by the Gods and of course the men of the family had grown protective of the young woman and Esther thought once Rebekah was born that one more person wouldn't be bewitched by the woman. But Esther was wrong as Rebekah clinged to her older 'sister' much like Kol had and unlike Mikael, Esther did not see the young woman as her daughter.

"Mother, me, Y/N and Tatia are going to go bathe." Rebekah says as Esther nodded looking at Y/N see her talking to Tatia who agree with Esther that there was something unnatural about Y/N. As the young woman had grown lovely curves long curly dark hair that Rebekah loved to play with, her caramel skin was darker and her eyes still that unnatural blue. The young woman had many suitors come to Mikael for her hand and the man turned them down.

"Return before sundown."

"We will mother." Rebekah says before leaving with the older women heading down to the river where most of the village women bathed. Tatia watched Y/N softly and gently wash Rebekah almost sensually hearing the blonde's soft gasps as Y/N washed her back massaging the girl's sore back.

"So Y/N thought of marriage?"

"No Tatia, no boy has caught my eye." Y/N says her voice soft and angelic as Rebekah helped wash her hair when unknown men walking out of the treeline smirking looking over the three bare women.

"Look at this boys, it seems the Gods had blessed with some young maidens." The leader says as Y/N glared hiding a nearly 17 year old Rebekah behind her as Tatia quickly covered herself noticing that Y/N wasn't moving to cover herself more worried about Rebekah. It happened in a blur as a scream tore from Rebekah when Tatia was grabbed and Y/N pushed Rebekah out of the water.

"Rebekah! Run! Go get help!" Y/N yelled tripping a man that was going to chase after Rebekah as the blonde got dress messy and began running looking back seeing a man pulling Y/N under him asshe fought back.

"Father! Elijah! Finn!" Rebekah screamed sore from running getting Kol's attention catching his sister as the others came running over. Mikael looked worried cupping his daughter's cheek, Rebekah was sobbing as she was telling them what happen. Mikael stood telling Elijah, Finn and Niklaus to come with him as Kol and Henrik was comforting Rebekah while Esther watched over them hoping that it would only be Tatia would be returning.

"Elijah!" Tatia shouted running out of the bushes into her lover's arms as he cupped her face looking her over seeing that her dress was soaked, a few cuts as Mikael stepped over.

"Where is Y/N?"

"The river...Elijah there...." Tatia was cut of when the men ran to the river as Tatia frowned wanting to tell Elijah what she saw but they were already gone. Y/N was covered in blood eyes glowing a dark red as the men layed terrified as one was dead in the water when she heard the Mikaelson men running. Y/N dropped the sword as the men was confused watching her lay on her side curling into herself suddenly sobbing as her family came running out of the treeline.

"Y/N!" Niklaus said rushing to her as Mikael's eyes darken at the men that was still breathing along with Finn and Elijah believing shehad been violated after killing one man.

"How dare you. You come and violated my daughter, for that you will pay." Mikael said as the men were begging for their lives saying they hadn't while Y/N watched with glowing red eyes as the men were killed then slipped on a mask of innocents. Mikael grabbed a cloak wrapping Y/N up in it after Niklaus cleaned off the blood, the brothers watched their father lift Y/N up into his arms bridal style.

"Finn grab their clothes, Elijah go get Tatia and Niklaus please tell your mother to ready things at home."

"I....am sorry father....I dishonored you....allowing for this to happen."

"No need litla kanína. You could never dishonor me." Mikael says softly kissing her head as they head back to the village and Esther sucked in breath seeing Y/N in Mikael's arms. That night after dinner Kol, Rebekah and Niklaus stayed in Y/N's bed much to Esther's surprise Mikael allowed it while Elijah kissed her forehead before heading to his hut next door he shared with Tatia.

"Elijah....there is something I need to tell you." Tatia whispered laying her head on Elijah's bare chest as he rubbed her back looking at her with a raised eyebrow. Tatia took a breath remembering what happen.

"Y/N is something that is not human."

Elijah did not believe Tatia and had told his siblings what she told him which Esther over heard the siblings talking and went to Tatia to tell her that the witch believed her. When Henrik died, the family became vampires and Y/N stayed even though Esther had been trying to marry her off but Mikael, Elijah and Finn kept scaring off suitors. It was a cold rainy night as Y/N ran she heard from Rebekah that Mikael was furious learning Niklaus was not his as Esther had slept with another.

"Father! Don't!" Y/N shouted standing in his way Elijah stood by worried as Mikael glared as Esther saw it was her husband before Y/N was found.

"Move Y/N."

"Father listen to me. Niklaus is not to blame, mother is the one who has done wrong. Ansel is not his father buy you, like me, you had raised and adored him not Ansel." Y/N said as Esther watched surprised when Mikael lowered his whip walking past Y/N to Niklaus.

"I am sorry my son. Come let's get you warm." Mikael says as Niklaus nodded hugging Mikael as Esther looked to Y/N seeing her eyes flickering red before Elijah gently ushered her back to the hut and out of the rain.

Esther hated Y/N as to the witch the demon was pulling her family from her as now Mikael was angry with her while making it up Klaus from the night before. Esther was going to go speak to Tatia when spotted them, the witch saw Finn holding Y/N up against a tree feeding from her as he took her.

"Finn...please." Y/N breathed tugging on Finn's hair as he pulled away from her bleeding neck kissing her roughly as his hips snapped up into her. Esther quickly rushing off and kept eye out seeing that both Niklaus and Kol was also getting close to Y/N too.

"Esther." Tatia said tears running down her face as she rushed to Esther making the witch pause looking worry. Tatia sat down explaining to Esther what she saw.

Tatia had been upset that week as Elijah broke off their courting so she went to his hut to find out why. When she got there she heard breathy gasps and mewls, Tatia quietly creep in to Elijah's bed seeing Y/N under him on her hands and knees face buried in the furs as Elijah took her roughly.

"Don't worry Tatia, I'll take care of it." Esther said after Tatia explained as that night Esther made a dagger stabbing Mikael with unaware that Rebekah saw her.

"Mother killed father." Rebekah said when she ran to her brothers and Y/N see how worried they looked when Finn said they should run as Esther could be after them next.

"Always and Forever."
