Ancient Vampires

*"Yes I recall someone telling me about how the Ancients are the very first vampires, but they don't exist sweetheart."*

*"What makes you so sure they don't Nik, I mean according to Silas, he said he created the spell for immortality, who's to say he isn't lying."*

*"Because if they did, in the thousand years of our existence, we've never seen one or heard of one. No one even knows their bloody names."*

Klaus and Rebekah

The Pharoah was displeased now that Aldric had no magic to help with his plans ordered him and his family to be executed. Aldric fled, but the guards caught up Aldric and attacked his family.
