The Story of The Original Sacrifice (3)

Chapter 7

* Anastasia * 

I walked downstairs and into the piano room of the mansion and sat down at the keys . I hadn't played anything in ages . I ran my shakey hands over the keys and closed my eyes , playing a fimiliar balad . 

" Don't hang your head low . Cause I can't see your face . In your reflection . I see your beauty and grace and when the light shines bright to show you your way , do not be weary don't turn your head awaya . So let the critics look upon you with a thousand eyes and let the times do the judges and critise . And you just sit here before us and reveal your life . Go on go on my child . " I sang , as my hands found thier ways over the keys . 

" You're soul is aching . And it's time to be heard . This might be painful , but consider the worth and when you feel like there's nobody on your side ..... they will embrace you with a radiant smile . So let the critics look upon you with a thousand eyes and let the times do the judges and critise . And you just sit here before us and reveal your life . Go on go on my child . " 

* Elijah * 

I heard Anastasia's voice and walked over to the door to hte piano room , listening to her beautiful song . She hadn't sang anything in a long time . Everyone gathered around the door and listened to her sing her song . When Rebekah heard the lyrics , she teared up and leaned into Damon . I teared up myself and I swear I saw Klaus and Kol start to cry . I was proud of her for getting up and braving the world . I know she didn't for Nikki . 

* Anastasia * 

I finished the song and looked down at my hands and noticed they'd stopped shaking. I sighed and smiled a little and wiped my tears . 
" Goodbye my baby . " I whispered .

I got up and pushed in the chair , walking out to the others who were suprisingly all crying or teary eyed .

" Were you listening ? " I asked .

They nodded .

" It was beautiful . " Rebekah sniffled , thinking of Tatherina.

I nodded and squeezed her hand gently .

" Thank you . " I replied .

" Anastasia , I'm so sorry that I couldn't have done anything . " Elena whispered .

I sighed and pulled her into a hug .
" You're just as much a daughter to me as my Nikki was . I can't stand the thought of you getting hurt either , Elena . " I said , putting on a small smile for them .
" I'm alright . And so is Nikolina . I know that now . " I said .

I then looked down and walked upstairs , running my hand over the staircase followed by Elijah .

* Tatiana *

" Do you think she's okay ? " Jeremy asked .
" No . But I think perhaps she might be one day . " I replied looking after my younger sister in admiration .

I could never do half of the things the did . She was everything I'd ever wanted to be .

" That was intense . " Klaus replied , wiping his eyes .

" You're crying , sweet . " I said kissing him gently .

* Elena *

I didn't have anyone anymore . Stefan was gone . I watched him die before my eyes and there was nothing I could do about it . I walked out of the room and ended up on the back porch , wiping my eyes . I can't believe that Anastasia would say that to me . Nikolina had always been like the younger sister I never had . I heard the door close behind me and I turned to see Kol .
