Being five and taking care of Aaron while his mother and father sought to find Aaron the perfect bride to be betrothed. He didn't like Cross so whenever his parents were out he would leave Cross within his crib crying while he was out playing. His parents when finding out that the servants were caring for their youngest son Ian was punished. Through out the years it was like this, until Aaron was old enough to not be within his crib and old enough to walk he would walk his brother toward the woods and leave him. When Aaron came back hurt Ian would put up the notion that Aaron had strayed away from him and he didn't know where he was. He often was believed and it often worked until Aaron was five and ended up grabbing one of Ian's knives and playing with it. It happened to be Ian's favorite dagger. Being ten he chased after Cross and ended up cutting him along the wrists for taking his dagger. Then blinked realizing what he'd done tried to hide Aaron and tell him that if he told anyone he cut him he would kill him. But with Aaron being Aaron he made a deal that he wouldn't tell if he gave him the dagger he cut him with.



Ian gave it to him reluctantly and Cross simply told his parents that he hurt himself accidentally playing with his knife. Taking him to the doctor to get stitched up Ian grew hateful with Cross. Countless days he tried to do anything to hurt Aaron real bad but Aaron had learned off Ian and in turn did the same to him. When Ian and Aaron grew to the age of seventeen... something... weird happened. Not understanding why his brother didn't want to fight anymore he found out that he had been sneaking behind his families back with a girl. not just any girl a apple farmer's girl. How... interesting, he tried to tell his parents that it was the reason why Aaron was missing and they didn't believe him at first. Until a mule, three cows and a chicken was sold for a ring. The servants of the manor had relayed the message and Ian's parents tried to figure out why it was that Aaron was spending so much for a ring and turned out Ian was right. Ian gloating within his success watched and even helped his father to ward away the pregnant woman (yes only he knows that maria was pregnant)... though that night... when Ian was busy practicing his procession with his knife to become a doctor he heard screaming... Walking in he saw his mother and father dead and Aaron. Standing above them blood dripping down his chin, his eyes almost black with the very dagger he had given him within his hand. Laughing almost insanely before disappearing from sight.



For days he tried to track his little brother down, to avenge some part of his parents death. While traveling upon a plane. He came across a small yet ancient little vampire (you can request her if you take her) that promised him immortality... for pleasure and for vengeance. He didn't know what it meant then but now... now he knew what it meant because now he would be coming for his little brother. He was changed within the moving of the train and as the train derailed off the tracks and slaughtered millions of people. It was he and the little girl that managed to escape whole, alive and feasting. As the years passed she grew bored with him and dropped him within Sleepy Hollow. Promising him an empty promise of returning. (the rest is up to you :3)

Maria was born into a family not exactly the rich family and instead her family was rather low on the social status bar but she loved her family nonetheless. Maria grew up a very happy child with her mother father, and younger brother Carter. She had it rather rough but that never stopped the happy young woman from making the best of everything. Which must have been what caught the eyes of Aaron Cross. He was rich and powerful and very very handsome. Maria would have to have been either stupid or ignorant not to see how beautiful he was. But it wasn't his beauty that drew her in but his kindness. He never acted like he was better than her as most people did. Soon they where engaged and everything seemed like it would be perfect.



Then one night all hell broke loose. Maria had just discovered that she was pregnant with Aaron's baby and she was so excited to tell him that she was too excited to wait any longer and went to him even though she knew that Aaron's parents despised her because she wasn't "good enough" for their son. They wanted him to marry someone of high status, of high power. Yet he had chosen her over all the other girls. He was marrying for love and not for money and power. Maria had told him repeated that his money be damned, as long as they where together that she would be happy. And now another life was going to enter their lives and nothing could have been more perfect.



That is until Maria had to tell Aaron's father that she was pregnant with his grandchild and she needed to see Aaron. He didn't take too well to the news and in a fit of rage he and Ian warded her away by any means necessary. (the rest is up to you <3 )
