Myth/ Short Story
Many people say the first vampire was Count Dracula from Transylvania but this in fact is a myth. The first vampires were a family of 6 children in the 1500’s raised by a very powerful witch, the Michaelson's. They were a seemingly normal family, until one night 2 of the 6 were out playing on the full moon, when they knew they were not supposed to be out and one was taken by a werewolf. The mother could not take the loss of another child. She went against nature and created a spell to make her children immortal. To also make them faster and stronger than the wolves. She gave them super hearing to hear from miles and miles away. The children all drank the potion but to activate it the mother had to kill all of her children. They all awoke confused and very hungry, the side effect of the immortality spell was the hunger… for blood. The children became the very first vampires to walk this earth, they are called the “Originals” and are the hardest to kill. Since they were the very first vampires they cannot be killed by just anything. A stake to the heart doesn't work, unless it is made of white oak, which the Michaelson’s burnt the last of, and they will not die from a werewolf bite like most, it will make them very weak. Except one of the middle children, Klaus, he was a bastard child. There mother had cheated on their father with a wolf, making Klaus a wolf, they were unaware of this until they made him a vampire. Creating the first “hybrid” a vampire and werewolf. Therefore making him invincible, but because of this his mother put a curse on his werewolf side causing him to have to break the curse to let out his wolf side and become full hybrid. The blood of the original hybrid can cure a lethal werewolf bite to a vampire. The other children Rebeka, Kol, Finn, and Elijah still loved their brother even if the wasn’t their fathers but their father Michael went mad finding out he wasn’t his and made himself a vampire to hunt his children to the end of time. Therefore the siblings made a pack to stick together no matter what against their father. They still roam the earth to this day and have defeated their father many years ago.
