Prologue3: -Regrets were made-

I sat alone on the edge of the bed, crying silently at the monster i have become.

I never thought i would become a strigoi mort.

It only happened if a strigoi  viu got killed by a strigoi mort, and our people knew how to take care of these when they rise up from their graves.

But for my very unfortunate bad luck, i had to be one of these monsters.

Even the one who saved my life couldn't make it out of my hands unless when i was threatened.

The creaking sound of the old wooden door of the shack getting opened snapped me out of my thoughts.

I heard foot steps coming towards me.

"Do not come closer" i ordered as i wiped my tears.

I got up and turned around to face whoever was standing there.

"You shouldn't be here" i said once i figured it was Elijah.

"Unfortunately for you, i do not follow orders" he replied with a smile as if nothing has happened.

"Why would you want to accompany a monster like myself.?" I asked him as i sighed and walked towards the small wooden window.

"We all become monsters at some point of our lives." He said as he stood beside me.

Both of us looking into the woods,

The skies were clear, and the air was cold.

I took a deep breath in, "I am the worst kind of monster. I can demolish villages and not feel a single thing but joy"

"Even though you have seen nothing but content, and respect from my siblings and i. I assure you we have done way beyond what your mind can imagine." He paused making me look at him.

How could something so beautiful as his relationship with his siblings be so terrible as he's saying.

What have they done that would be beyond my imagination to think of?

"I am a man of truth and i will tell you at this moment about the terrible acts we have committed. And then you will decide if you want to stay with such monsters, or not." He paused leaving me a confusion mess.

"But do bear in mind your natural instinct will lead you to do exactly the same thing. Maybe not as brutal, but it will eventually happen." He continued.

I couldn't understand anything, i didn't know what he was trying to say.

"See, we are not only a family of three.
Our mother Esther have been killed by Niklaus. He wanted to take revenge for what she had done to us.
She was the one who turned us into these blood drinking monsters, and put us through this unending misery.

And you might be wondering where is our father.
He got killed, by Niklaus as well.
He was merciless. Always demanded us to be something that we are not. Always wanted us to be something he couldn't become himself." He paused as fear made it's way in my chest.

"You might view Niklaus now as a merciless monster. And i do apologize for if you have misplaced my intentions in the wrong place.
But i do ask you to be wise." He said as he looked at me.

I nodded my head slightly and looked away for him to continue.

"We have two other brothers.
Kol, and Finn. My brother and i decided to dagger them temporarily just so they won't get in the way of our way of handling things." He continued.

"What!" I exclaimed loudly.

"I know what you might think of us by this moment, but i assure you it was for their own benefit as well" He said as he looked in my eyes again.

For some reason every time he looked at me i felt as if my heart has been struck by lightning.

"We, my dear, Aquamarine. Have turned villages into ashes. We stood and watched people beg for their lives as we faked sorrow. For our own enjoyment." he added then went silent.

He didn't look at me to see my reaction, he just kept on staring outside of that window at the nothingness.

I didn't know how to feel.

I just stood silently beside him and tried to put my mind to focus on one feeling, or thought.

After a few minutes he began to talk again.

"Now it's your choice. Decide you want to stay with monsters who could train and tame you so you would become less of a monster than you think you are. Or leave, and decide what's best for your own life" he said, still not looking in my direction.

I couldn't make up my mind to reach a good decision.

I felt lost and stateless.

"I will leave you to it" he said once more before leaving the shack.

-----------------------------------------------------

Finally after hours of trying to think as wise as possible i have come to a decision.

I have seen myself and what i could do when i lose control, and i do not want to lose control on one of them.

Because even though they may be as much of a heartless, merciless creatures, they still sheltered me, and offered me help.

And even though i can not recall i have ever had such feeling as i do in the presence of Elijah, i still prefer to leave.

For their own sake, and for mine as well.

I prefer to be tamed by myself.

Once the night has fallen down and the woods went silent announcing they were not present near the shack, i decided to go out and leave but..something stopped me.

I thought, i couldn't just leave like all of that never happened.

I wanted to go so badly, but something in my chest just kept on nagging me, telling me i should leave something behind to be remembered

By Elijah..

I decided to put my stubborn brain at ease and leave the little necklace my mother made me when i was just a baby.

I didn't have anything else, and it was hard for me to leave behind but i needed to stop that agony in my chest.

I took it off my neck and laid it down on the bed.

I looked at it one last time, it was shaped as an arrow going through an empty circle.

It was exquisite, i will miss it.

I opened the Shack door and ran through the woods.

I decided to leave my memories behind, as well as my family and go..

Find my own freedom.

The freedom i never asked for..
