Prologue:

10th century A.D

Life in Mystic Falls was pretty simple back then. Calm , peaceful and completely….normal …as you would call it. This was before she was born. Before the first Petrova doppelganger , Tatia was born .Nobody saw it coming. It was beyond their wildest dreams... but life in Mystic falls was about to change forever...


Part 1:

Chapter 1: (Tatia)

It was all very confusing. How could anyone be in love with 2 people at the same time? It was so unfeminine of her. It made her feel like a horrible person. She felt as if she was using the two people she trusted most. What was even more disgusting about the whole situation was that she already happened to be married and had had Ariana,her 5 year old daughter, who she thought she loved more than anyone in the world. Her life, she thought couldn't be more perfect ,but that was until she met the two of them...

Niklaus and Elijah Mikaelson were the two men who had changed her life. The two people who had made an impact on her substantial existence. Before them she had thought that she couldn't have been more happier. She was certainly well off , was gifted with extraordinary beauty ,that made men fall for her at the drop of a hat , she was married to a man who couldn't love her more , she had a beautiful daughter and a perfect family as people would call them .But she wasnt satisfied. She wanted passion and adventure .The Mikaelsons gave her that . They made her feel...Alive. However here came the tricky part. Overprotective as he was she knew that if her husband found out about her indiscretions ,her life would probably be ruined. Furthermore, what would Ariana think of her ? What kind of a role model would she be for her little daughter, her innocent 5 year old? It was all so unfair! Why couldnt she have both- the Mikaelsons and her family?

As she was thinking to herself her husband appeared before her. In a flash he gripped her hand and twisted it, making her scream in agony.

"Aaah!"
"And you thought ,I wouldnt find out didn't you? You thought you could have kept it a secret for as long as you pleased didn't you? How could you Tatia! And to think I trusted you. How could you have fallen so low. Was my love not enough for you. Havent I given you everything you asked for, everything you desired. What more could you have possibly wanted.I loved you! How dare you betray me!" he screamed.
Tatia didn't know what to do. She clearly hadn't expected this. She may have thought of telling him the truth ,but she clearly didn't want him to find it out the way he had.

"How could you have done this to us," he began again, perhaps a little softer than before.

"But most of all how could you do this to Ariana! Your own daughter! Didn't you think about her? Don't you care about our girl ,Tatia!..Why did you do this ?...And with those minors..."

"I'm sorry! I..." she cried. "But you were never here for me! Every time I wanted to confide in someone, to talk to someone..I felt i had nobody..I...I will fix this .I promise you,I will."

"You better do ,because if you don't ,you'll lose the only thing that you think you still can salvage .I'll take Ariana away from you.I'll make her forget you..and then you'll have no one left ,all because of that one mistake you made ,that's going to cost you everything."

And with that he left her dreadfully alone. Tears streaming down her face , her only solace.

She needed to stop this. It was for the best .For all of them .Even if it pained her to do so...She had to salvage whatever was left of the family she had .She had to say her goodbyes to the Mikaelsons …...Forever...
