*** Arriving In New Orleans - 1713 ***
The silence was deadly and eerie that would cause a chill to the bone of those whose hearts pumped hot blood around their veins. But to the ears of one of five original vampires, the night was filled with the rhythmic music of the creatures that crawled above and below the ground. The ghost ship had docked along the embankment of the Mississippi river and remained still.
In the cargo hold of the ship hidden among the cargo that belonged to the past owners who bodies were discarded along the journey. Five coffins lay locked and sealed from the prying eye of robbers who tried their lock to steal what did not belong to them. Unbeknown that on this ship hid five of the fieriest creatures that walked this earth.
To the human eye they would seen nothing more than mortals, but hidden beneath their human flesh lay something far more worse than anyone could comprehend. Vampires, thee original vampires. From their blood all vampires were created and so the survival of the the species spanned through generations.
But unlike his siblings, the noble vampire who emerged from the captain's cabin dressed in a cloak of black. His sleek hair pulled back into a tight ponytail which cascaded down just past his broad shoulders. The air was thick with a mist that slid across the river as it pulled itself towards the embankment blocking out the view from all those who were tempted to stake their claim on a vessel that seemed abandoned.
The muffled cries of another young sailor reached Elijah's ears as a slender smirk spread across his face. The sole's of Elijah's shoes scuffled against the wooden plank that closed the gap between the ship and dry land. Singly Elijah's feet stepped onto the grass as he let out a sigh of contentment.
For several months he and his siblings had been stuck on that ship as they travelled across the oceans to find a new home. With their father Mikael chasing them from a place that they believed could be called home, another failed attempt on their lives.
With two of their siblings - Finn and Kol daggered and locked away in their coffins for some betrayal against Elijah's younger half brother Niklaus. But to Elijah half brother or not Niklaus was always remain his family and would dedicate his life to him.
Letting the fresh air fill his lungs as he let out a breath as the night air allowed him to see the particles that past his lips. With his back to the ship as he could hear footsteps approaching him from behind and he shifted on his feet to face his sibling Niklaus.
His brother's lips stained with the fresh kill, Elijah reached into his pocket and pulled out a handkerchief and handed it to his brother who accepted with a devil like grin across his face. "Welcome to New Orleans brother"
