A Kind Girl | N. & E. Mikaelson

Secrets

Ellie's POV

I felt someone standing next to me. It is the middle of the night. I need sleep. I slowly open my eyes,"Elena?"

"Yeah, I just wanted to make sure you are okay."

I look into her eyes, and this person has a tortured soul. She is not Elena. I sat up slowly and with a raised heartrate said,"Katherine!"

For a second she looked shocked, but quickly changed to a neutral expression.

"What gave it away? I tried so hard being Miss Goody two shoes."

I realize that I can't get away from here. So, let's talk to the lady that broke my dad's heart.

"Your eyes. They...they are wiser or maybe tortured. You are scared. You are running from something..." Katherine was about to defend herself.

"I know the feeling. Hoping your past does not catch up with you. Looking over your shoulder for the one person that might kill you."

I let out my darkest secret. I have been holding onto them forever. I tried telling my dad, but I do not want to be a burden. He has given me an amazing life. Nobody will believe her, if she told them.

I nervously play with a string of my hair. " Please sit down." And tapped the bed."And then we can talk. I will your secrets if you keep mine."

She internally thought to herself. This might be a bad idea,right? She took a seat on the bed. The girl reminded her of her sweet younger sister.

"So, who are you running from Mini Salvatore?"

"My mother. She still haunts me after 12 years. She tried killing me and stole my powers. Left me in the woods to die. She left a forever gaping wound in my soul. I will forever live with this emptiness. My dad knows I get sad talking about it. But it is painful sometimes to live with a part of your soul gone, you know? So, what's your story?"

I felt the tears on my face and I dried them with my hand. Katherine moved and laid next to me on the hospital bed.

She let out a deep breath,"I am sorry that happened to you... My story...it's complicated."

I was feeling a bit tired and laid my head on her shoulder as she continued,"I am a doppelgänger, so people want to sacrifice me...After my baby was taken from me...I left and went to England. What a mistake that was. The Mikaelsons found me. They used me and made me believe they loved me. They were waiting for the full moon. I found out about the ritual and I run. I would not die without fighting. I found a vampire and they took me in their house. I tried killing myself and one gave me vampire blood. I hanged myself and run as a vampire for over 500 years. They killed my entire family for the betrayal. They hopefully think I am dead. I was just an eighteen year old trying to survive."

We both had tears in our eyes after the moment.I hugged her tight. She tensed a bit, not expecting it.

"I also hate hugs, but you need one." She gave me a small smile.

"That Klaus guy is a paranoid, crazy person. It is not your fault for wanting to live. In no way was that betrayal. And are they stupid?"

Katherine laughed, because never had anyone call they Orginials stupid.

"If they had not killed your family, they might have gotten a doppelgänger sooner. Nothing that happened was your fault, okay? I understand why you are they way you are. Survive by any means...I think I am going to sleep now."

I closed my eyes and everything turned black.

3rd person's POV

Katherine heard loud snores coming out of such a small body. She never thought someone would see her side of the story. She was glad she met El. She is the sweetest, kindest and most understanding person.

She gently climbed out of the bed and whispered,"Goodnight El. I hope the world it not to cruel on you."

Hopefully they will talk again.
