The youngest Mikaelson

Chapter 10 - 𝒩ℯ𝓌 𝓉ℴ𝓎

Bulgaria, 1492
----------------✧✦✧----------------

I traveled with Katerina to Bulgaria to her family, but what we found there was unexpected. In front of the house were dead bodies everywhere. I didn't like that. We passed among them and entered the house. There, by the door, was her father pinned to the wall with a sword. On the bed was her mother, also dead, and the rest of her family was scattered over the whole house.
      I knew Nik was capable of many things, but I surely hadn't expected that. How could have he done that? Why? Probably because I had betrayed him. I had chosen Katerina over him and that had made him angry. So he wanted to punish me and mainly Katerina for escaping.

Katerina ran to her mother, crying, "No, no, no, mama. No!" she shook with her, but she didn't even flinch. Of course she didn't. She was dead. Just like the others there.

In that moment my view of my brother changed. I supported him in many things and in many of his actions, but this was too much. He had killed her entire family. Just because she had turned herself into a vampire and prevented him from releasing his werewolf side. Just because I had helped her escape. Just because I hadn't brought her to him and hadn't helped him.
      He might have been my brother, but I couldn't have just handed my friend over. I loved Nik, I loved all of my siblings. But that time I hadn't really had a choice. I couldn't have helped Nik. I knew I had broken our value. I should have helped him. It had been a difficult decision, but I had had to make it.

What had I done? I shouldn't have done that. What I should have done had been to bring Katerina to him and help my brother.
      No! No! Katerina was my friend. God, how I hated my feelings.

No! The only evil there was Nik. I hadn't done anything wrong. I had done the right thing. After a long time I had done something good. Something I could be proud of. I was a good person. No, I wasn't. I was a monster just like my brother. One good act couldn't make up for all the bad ones. But did I really want to fix all the bad I had done? For what it would be good? For nothing.
      I had put my trust into someone again. What if I was gonna loose again? What if Katerina was gonna hurt my feelings like all of the men and women had done before? Like Thiago, Noah and Mary. I had to prepare on that. I had to build my wall again and not let her too close. My heart was too weak when it came to certain kind of people. I had to keep my heart safe.

I was who I was and I was never gonna change.

"I am Eliza Mikaelson and I don't trust anyone."

Greece, 1500

Those few past years had been hard for Katerina. Not just that her family had been murdered, but the thing she was a vampire and she needed to learn how to use her new powers, which she was managing perfectly. She had the best teacher ever, me. I had helped her with everything and we had become really close to each other. Of course I hadn't let her too close. My barrier of limits was still standing. We were enjoying our time together.

I never thought I would say that, but I really missed my siblings. Mainly Rebekah and Elijah. Nik probably too. Sometimes I thought of what they were doing. In those moments I was in some kind of a trans. Well, it looked like it. Most of the time, I just stood and watched into space in front of me. Katerina had to shook with me and only then I started perceiving again.

"Eliza," Katerina shook with me and I looked around and then at her. "Mr. Thomas was asking if you would like to meet with him tomorrow." I looked at the man in front of me. Mr. Thomas was a charming man, but still a man. And like I already knew, men were not worthy of my trust. Although as another toy, I could consider it.
