History ||Serenia was born into the village, home to the original family. Her family were witches and as was she. They were bought up and raised to keep their magic under wraps. No one knew of her secret. Others however flounced around their ability to do magick. She started learning spells from an early age, and was soon a quite advanced witch. Being the oldest sibling she also had to help her father. Her father taught her how to hunt with a Bow and arrow. Together they fed their family and they just kept to themselves.

Her life was extremely boring. That was until she was in her teenage years. It was the same every day for her. Learning with her mother, Playing with her sister, Hunting for their meals with her father. She was out getting water by the river one day and noticed the original family were there as well and she had learned to hide from them. Her family doesnt trust them and so she quickly hid behind a tree. Though taught to not cross their paths, curiosity won out in the end and she looked back at them, just to see what they were doing out here.

She was watching them for barely a moment when she heard a rustle from behind her and came face to face with one of the brothers, almost knocking over her bucket of water. Stunned, she mumbled her apologies and sped out of there. She didnt stop until she knew she was far from the family. She stopped to catch her breath from speeding out of there. Once feeling abit more like herself she went home and left the water with her mother. Though she still couldnt get that particular brother out of her head. The one that caught her spying. She never questioned why her family kept themselves so isolated from others, but she wanted to know why. Weeks later she plucked up the courage to ask her mother and was told that the mother of their family practises Dark magic, and that they were to have nothing to do with that. Though she had never seen any evidence of this she still continued to keep to herself.

Another day of the same she was heading to the river to wash some clothes and she glanced at two of the brothers practising sword fighting. She knew it was only in jest and they wouldnt actually hurt each other. She stood and watched for a moment, sparing a moment. When the fight was over the youngest son, Klaus made a comment and his father took the sword from the oldest boys hand. She hated Mikael, the father. He frightened her with his temper. Soon Klaus was pinned to the floor and she held her breath. Surely he wouldnt kill his own son for the sake of a few misplaced words? Before he could move one of the elder sons came to his younger brothers aid. Mikael turned on him instantly, Dante having barely enough time to grab a sword and defend himself. The fight was nasty and she didnt know what the outcome would be. That was when she used her magic. Whispering a few words she moved her hand sideways and boths swords went flying and impaled into nearby trees, thus ending the fight. Mikael instantly thought it was Esther and went to her. She scuttled off quickly, before anyone noticed that she could of had something to do with it.

She reached the river and sat on the muddy bank. She didnt know what she was thinking. She shouldnt have interferred. She should of just walked away. She made a start on the clothes, washing them as best she could. Once done she transfered everything back into her basket and started heading back to the village before it got too dark. Once the village was in sight she started to hurry a little so she could get inside and just have her meal. She felt a light hand rest on her shoulder and she jumped and turned to see who it was and realised it was the brother she had saved earlier today. She looked at him wondering why he was here and when he spoke her heart seemed to stop for a moment. He had seen her. She managed to hide her suprise and smiled and just simply denied all knowledge. Once back at home she was hiding her turmoil.

For days after that he made endless attempts to speak to her and she had tried to ignore them all. Eventually she thought he had given up on his attempts to speak to her and Serenia started to relax a little. She left to go hunting in the woods a quiver on her back and a bow clutched firmly in her hand. Once deep enough in the woods for the animals she started treading carefully. Listening to her surroundings. One arrow ready in the bow. Hearing a noise she turned sharply and fired in its diretion. Once noticing what she had hit she screamed and dropped the bow. She had hit somebody, and not just somebody. Dante, the boy she had been trying to avoid for weeks now.

Left with no option really (after all she cant really leave him hurt) she ran over to him pleading with him if he was alright. Taking her quiver off her back she knelt down beside him and carefully moved his hand away from the arrow. Thankfully it didnt go right through. It wouldnt of been a killing shot on an animal. Having no other alternative, she carefully grasped the arrow, one hand on his chest to support herself. With effort she pulled the arrow out and the wound was quickly met with a lot of blood. Carefully taking his shirt off so she wouldnt hurt him. She couldnt leave him here to bleed to death. Sighing she raised her hands, her hands visibly shaking. Not that she hadnt done it before. She was meant to keep her power secret, yes he knew things, but this was just confirming what she had been denying for weeks. A gentle white light pulsed from her hands healing the damage inside and working its way outwards until there was nothing left but a small scar. Once she was done she stood quickly and grabbed her things, hands shaking as she did so. She tried to walk away again and this time he stopped her.

Since that day things were slightly different between them both. Serenia had agreed to hunt with him. Just for his own safety if nothing else. This way she noticed she got alot more than what she was ususally able to haul home by herself. They split things evenly, feeding their families alot better. Though no one knew of their meeting. Each day their hunts would get longer and Serenia found herself being able to relax around him alot more than what she was able to when they first met. God forbid and she wouldnt ever tell her mother but she did start to like him... alot.

One day when she was just heading out to go hunting and to meet Dante, someone came running to her mother claiming someone was gravely injured. Her mother agreed to come and serenia offered her help, but her mother insisted she had to keep her power a secret.(Though it was too late for that) Still Serenia followed and found that it was the youngest of the family. Serenia came to a stop once laying her eyes on the body, and even she knew that nothing could be done.

Her mother knelt by him and reported there was nothing she could do, and said he was so close to death nothing could save him. Serenia clutched her bow in one hand and stared in disbeilef. Everyone knew not to go in the woods on the full moon. Wolves prowled the woods, and they would tare you apart. These boys evidently thought they could handle it. The boys mother, Esther pleaded with her, asking her to do something. Her mother shook her head and offered her condolances. Their only sister, Rebekah and two of their brothers joined them, Dante and Elijah. Klaus was kneeling on the floor near tears, obviously feeling the guilt of walking into a trap with the wolves.

Serenia's eyes sought Dante's and they met for a moment. All she could do was look. She didnt dare say anything, she just hoped it was enough. Turning away from him she returned to her house with her mother and her mother announced that she wasnt to hunt anymore on the nights of the full moon. She said that her father would help the night before to give them enough food for the days the moon held them captive. Serenia annouced she would be back, she was just going to get water which she didnt have to venture that far for. Secretly she was hoping Dante would be there as well.

He was sitting on the river bank. Coming up quietly behind him and sat beside him saying she was sorry for his brother. Suprisingly, he didnt seem that upset. Or the fact that it hadnt sunk in yet. They sat in silence for a little while, Serenia resting her head on his shoulder draping her arm around him to offer him some sort of comfort. It was in that moment that she knew that she loved him in a way. Even knowing her secret he kept it. Hadnt forced her to see the rest of his family, and didnt annouce that he wanted to meet hers. So they stayed together that night, making love in the night, under the stars. Eventually they knew they had to separate and little did Serenia know this was the last she would see of him for a while.

She waited for hours and hours in the woods, for them to hunt, and he was never showing up. Days they went without contact until she returned to the river and he was there. Nothing had changed between them and they arranged to meet there in the evenings and Dante said he couldnt hunt with her anymore. She found it strange but she agreed. But she noticed the rest of the village treating them all with resentment, and none of them ever left the house during the daylight. Her mother spotted this also. However Serenia wasnt stupid. Standing at the foot of the white oak she noticed a chunk of the bark missing. She knew the properties of this tree. It was pure and everlasting. In the village she worked her way to their house secretivly and noticed them all shy away from the sun and when they did, they burned like the sun hurt them. Serenia at that moment knew and she felt sick.

As agreed though she still met him at night. She made sure some distance was kept and demanded to know the truth and said all that she knew that had changed. She knew some manner of spell had been worked on all the children since they had lost Henrick. She knew about the tree and what it did, how they burn if sunlight touches their skin. And the death toll had gone up, bodies were being found with no particular way to connect them in anyway. She stayed rooted to the spot when Dante told her everything. Even having the audacity saying he wanted to turn her! She shoved him away shouting that he was unnatural and to leave her alone. She attempted to run back but he quickly caught her. Summoning up her power she threw it at him in a blast of energy which shoved him far backwards and she made her escape hiding in her home knowing he couldnt get inside.

He made several attempts now to speak to her now. Even when they found a way to walk in daylight. Serenia immediately found the source of what allowed them to do that. It was a few nights later the whole village was disturbed and running out of their homes and was greeted by a great fire on the Oak tree. The entire family watching the tree burn with a certain triumph. Serenia was able to connect the dots and in that moment she cast a spell to protect the oaks roots beneath the ground. Yes this tree would fall. But a new tree would one day grow back, in its place.

It was the next day that was the worst for the villagers. The father of the family gave into his weakness of pride and slaughtered the villagers. They remained safe inside their home where he couldnt enter. Once he moved on her family left their home, intending to leave this place. Dante however stopped them. He compelled her father and her younger sister to leave them and they carried on going. Dante was giving her one last chance to turn and she refused again. Her mother being the only other witch in the whole village except his mother. Dante turned to her and compelled her as well, but to do what she didnt know. Her mother started chanting something and she knew it was the ending of a spell she must have been working on for a few days now. As the words came out she felt her heart begin to slow down. Attempting a spell of her own to stop it, though she didnt know of any. She was soon rendered speechless and unable to breathe. It felt like she was dying but she knew it was just a spell to shut down a body and it would sleep, for how long she didnt know. But it kept the body as it was, everything just stopped where Serenia would be concerned. Her last look at the world was his face, and the last words she heard was how much he loved her, until her eyes closed and darkness kept her for what would seem like a long time.

When she awoke, she was almost a thousand years in the future and Dante was still here. At first she was terribly weak. Being asleep for a thousand years would do that to you. But when she had the strength and the magic no one could come even close to possesing she left him. She didnt have the strength to kill herself like she should have. She shouldnt be here. She should died back then. She shouldnt still be living in the year 2012. But she decided to live out her mortal life, without him. She couldnt be with someone who did this to her.

Now serenia just keeps a low profile in Mystic Falls. She knows the Original Family is alive and she doesnt want them to know that she is infact alive. If they were to find out, God only knew what would happen to her. As far as they were concerned everyone was dead from that time and she plans on remaining dead to them. Dante it the only one who knows, and she plans on keeping it that way. But she does watch behind the scenes. She is never completely out of the loop...
