Hey guys, this is the first fic I've written in quite a while, leave a review or shoot me a message, I aim to have the next chapter up by tomorrow night! Let me know what you think

985 A.D.

"Do you think that if the children turned into wolves on the full moon they would be fully grown wolves or cubs?"

"Darling, where do you come up with this?"

Brenna giggled as she rested her head on Kol's shoulder. It was the full moon and all the villagers were huddled in the caves as the men turned into beasts above.

"Let me know when the stench of my brother becomes too overwhelming for you Brenna and come hang out with us girls," Rebekah called from across the cave.

"Oh my dear sister, Brenna could never tire of me, I am simply too handsome," Kol smugly replied.

"Well that's my leave," Brenna scoffed as she stood up with a smile and walked away from Kol and over to Rebekah. She sat down next to her twin sister and smiled at Rebekah, who smiled back before she went right back to glaring at her sister.

Tatia spotted Elijah across the cave and a bright smile came to her lips, "sorry to leave after you just came Brenna but…"

"Go, sister! Do not fret over me, I have Rebekah, go and talk to him." Tatia smiled and pecked Brenna on the cheek before running off and Rebekah moved closer to Brenna, taking Tatia's place beside her. As Tatia moved towards Elijah she was cut off by Niklaus.

Brenna could feel Rebekah scowling next to her and she reached out to grab her hand, "Bekah you cannot blame my sister, Niklaus does his utmost to monopolise her whenever she moves to talk to Elijah." As Brenna said this, Tatia let out a flirtatious laugh at something Niklaus had said and placed her hand on his chest. "Well, you cannot blame her entirely at least."

"Your sister is dividing my brothers, she has no class, the trollop."

"Bekah!"

"Oh do not worry, it is not a reflection upon you. I mean, your sister took Elijah and Nik, and that left you to chose from either Kol or Finn, Henrik is too young. And I don't particularly see you being interested in Finn, he is a dullard, so that left you with one choice. Although if I can read my brother well, I do believe he only flirts with Tatia to make you jealous. You did know Nik before you knew us, I believe he thought no one would dare challenge him for your affections. I don't believe he could have imagined your sister would cling to him like a leech."

"Rebekah you are telling tales, I am merely friends with Nik, you all know that. Besides I am engaged to wed your brother, I do not intend to ever look at another boy again."

"No harm in looking Brenna, a bit of admiring never hurt anyone," Rebekah stated as Brenna's eyes locked with Niklaus'. As if he had a radar, Kol appeared by Brenna's side at the next instant, breaking their eye contact.

"What are you two ladies plotting this time," Kol inquired taking a seat on the ground next to Brenna and taking her hand. "Tired yet darling? We can go to sleep over there."

"Kol, you know I can not do that, I do not want to anger my father, he has one daughter with a child and no husband, the last thing I need is for him is to be worried his other daughter may fall victim to the same fate."

"Sounds enticing to me," Kol breathed against Brenna's cheek as Rebekah crumpled her face and stalked off toward Elijah. "I knew that would do the trick. I do believe my darling sister, Bex is jealous of the time I spend with you."

"Kol, could you do the thing again, please? Make me a flower," Brenna asked ignoring his other comment.

"Darling, anything for you," Kol smiled as he picked up a handful of dirt and whispered some words under his breath. He opened it up to reveal a beautiful light pink camellia flower. "There you go, your favourite," he said as he brushed her cheek to place the flower behind her ear. "A beautiful flower for an even more beautiful girl.

"I spoke to Helga the other day," Brenna said looking down.

"Take anything that old hag says with a grain of salt love."

"Well she delivered me some quite grim news," Kol hummed in interest, "she told me that I would die of fever within the month. Kol, she foresaw Tatia's husband falling in battle and that came to be true, what if she is right about this?"

"Darling it was not that difficult to predict your sister's loss of a husband, she was married off to a warrior, it's hardly a surprise that he fell. No doubt she would have predicted the same for you, had your fathers plan for you to marry come to fruition. But as you very well know, after many days of your endless arguments, that arrangement was called off, now I didn't see Helga predict that. She just likes to stir up worry in the village."

"If you say so. Thank you, Kol. I think I am just going to go to sleep now," Brenna said grimly as she stood up. "I'll see you at the break of dawn, my love." Brenna kissed Kol on the cheek and walked over to where her family was preparing for the night.

"Darling, wake up. Brenna," Kol hissed as he shook Brenna awake. "Come and watch the sunrise with me," he whispered and Brenna smiled and stood up, taking his hand and leaving the cave.

"How about down to the river?" Brenna suggested,

"You read my mind love," Kol replied as Brenna giggled and leaned into him.

Brenna and Kol reached the river's edge and sat down, watching the sunrise above the tree line. "I always loved the sunrise, the idea that we made it through another day, survived another full moon. It's victorious."

"Remember when we snuck out to the cave entrance all those moons ago to watch them turn?" he reminisced. "Father got so mad that I put you in danger, we were not even betrothed then and I believe he already preferred you over me. He always has a soft spot for the lovely women he knows." Brenna smiled at the memory. "We should probably head back, people will be starting to wake up right about now."

"You head back so we don't get in trouble, I'll be a couple of minutes behind you."

"As you wish darling. I love you, Brenna," Kol said as he kissed her. "I am counting the seconds until we are married and I can call you my wife. See you in a couple of minutes," Kol said to a beaming Brenna.

"I love you Kol," Brenna shouted out to him, unable to wipe the smile from her face. She took one last look at the sky and stood up and started walking. She did not get very far until Helga caught her eye. "Helga, are you alright?" Brenna queried as Helga started muttering under her breath. Just as Brenna took a step toward her, her head felt like exploding and she grabbed it in surprise letting out a yelp. "Helga?!" she yelled as her vision started blurring.

The last thing she saw before she collapsed was a mop of blonde hair running toward her, yelling her name.
