Stella | E. Mikaelson

Prologue

1820
New Orleans

••••••••••

The room was silent, dark and very, very cold. Maybe it was because of the fact that all the windows were closed down, or because the only person alive was deadly quiet. Well, she wasn't technically alive, but in contrast with all the dead bodies around her, she was very much still breathing. There she stood, sitting on the floor, her mouth full of blood, her fingers still had her victim's sweet liquid, the scent in that room just made her even more hungry than before. She was always hungry

But, unfortunately, even if her hunger is stronger than anything she ever felt, her emotions always take the best of her. Heavy and hot tears are notable on her flawless doll face. Such a pure and good person that have such a horrible curse and fate. You see, she's different. As a human, people knew how special the girl really was, once she turned they were not so sure anymore. Ironically, the mother nature didn't took away her abilities

Of course that with every good thing comes a consequence. Her hunger for blood would always follow her, the more she drinks, the more she wants it. A curse that will forever haunt her and everyone around her. Countless times the vampire thought of turning it off. What was stopping her for doing that? Her family

They were not her own blood, but it seemed like they were. Before she turned, she married the always so noble, Elijah Mikaelson. The love of her life. The man that she will love for all eternity. With him came his family, the Mikaelson's, they all lived in the same village, they were all friends. Unfortunately, after their youngest brother's death, her mother-in-law, Esther, decided to turn them all in vampires

Esther didn't wanted to turn the girl. The girl that she loved like a daughter, and that, just like her, shared the gift of magic. It was against nature's balance turn a witch into a vampire, but Esther couldn't leave her son alone in this world, she knew how both needed each other. So, she did it. She went against everything she believed in and turned the young woman into a night creature

After turning, Esther saw how the girl's magic still was present in her body. It was impossible, no witch could be a vampire at the same time nor a vampire could be a witch. She quickly understood that something or someone should stop such powerful being of walking on earth. Esther, herself, casted the spell that would destroy the girl's eternity. Maledictio Sanguinis. The curse of blood

Basically, the girl would feel such hunger that if she didn't feed on human blood, she wouldn't be able to use magic. And, just like her, every person on her sire line would have the same destiny as her, but with the difference that they would not have magic to use, just an incredible and insatiable hunger. That is the reason why the girl only turned one person in her entire existence

The girl, still sitting on the floor while looking at all the blood in front of her, heard steps getting close to the room

"Stella!" She heard someone calling her name

The door was opened and a little clarity came from the other side. She knew who was there looking at her, well they still couldn't see anything because of how dark it was, but she knew how disappoint they will be, specially her husband. Someone opened the curtains revealing the brunette and all her victims

The brothers, Niklaus and Elijah, stood there in shock. The girl was surrounded by at least fifty bodies, her clothes full of blood, there was parts of the victims that weren't attached to their bodies anymore. They were used to her ruthless ways when comes to drink blood, but this time it was different, they knew it. Elijah slowly went close to his wife

"Hey......."

She raised her head and saw the man she loves so much. The young woman quickly hugged her husband, expecting some type of comfort from him

"I-I........I couldn't c-control it........I-I'm sorry........I-I'm s-so sorry, 'Lijah" she said between sniffles

Niklaus hated to see the woman he has like a sister like this. For many years, they all tried to help her, but there was nothing they could do anymore. The hunger would always win

Only God knew how Elijah was feeling right now, he knew what his brother was going to do, and he knew his wife would never forgive him for this, but he knew that this was the best for her. At least right now.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..........I love you........" she heard Elijah whispering before a strong pain took care of her body

She freed herself for her husband's hug and saw him looking at her with an apologetic look. The pain on her back could only mean one thing, they had betrayed her, her own family, her own husband, had stabbed in the back, literally

"W-Why.......?" She asked while her face starts getting grey

They just gave her a reason, a reason to turn it all off. And that's exactly what she did. She turned her emotions off. There's nothing here for her anyway

Elijah watched as something changed in her eyes, the always so caring and loving stare she gave away was now cold and distant. Both brothers watched as the girl pushed a hand inside Elijah's heart, making him yell in pain. She start chanting words that none could understand

Niklaus seeing his brother in pain, sent the witch against a wall and went to his brother's side. That was the perfect opportunity for Stella to remove the dagger that wasn't yet completely in her heart

The blond-haired man kneel down before his brother, trying to help him breathe again. She was going to kill him. Stella was going to kill Elijah if Niklaus didn't stopped her

"What did you just do?!" Niklaus yelled still looking at his brother

She wasn't thinking at all. She actually didn't cared. She didn't felt anything, so for her was more than easy to kill whoever she pleases. While laughing, the girl got up

"You seem to forget that I'm a witch, Nik. Better than that, you seem to forget that I'm stronger than you" she said

Niklaus quickly turned in her direction, and, just like his brother, he saw something different in her eyes. He saw as the girl looked at Elijah, who still was breathing heavily on the floor

"I hope you have a fast recovery, dear husband of mine"

As she turned around, Niklaus start yelling again

"I will hunt you down, Stella! I will make you regret all of this. I give you my word" he swore

Still with her back to him, the girl laughed again, this time louder

"I'm going to be waiting"

And, just like that, the girl was out of their lives. The girl that grow up with them, that protected them, sacrificed everything for them, went away. Leaving a part of herself behind. The young woman has a long journey waiting for her

They better be ready, because Stella Mikaelson will have her revenge........
