I did this story a while back but I thought it needed some updating. So here is the story of Katerina and Eleanor Petrova from the beginning. I don't own The Vampire Diaries and I'd love some reviews on what I could make better.
June 5, 1473 was the day two babies were born, destined for greatness and power. They were born in a noble household of Bulgaria, with beauty and knowledge, earning them respect through the village as they grew. Though one of the girls, Katerina Petrova, fell in love with a strange man, he had bright blue eyes and almost white hair so different from Katerine. They slept together before he left, leaving Katerina heartbroken and pregnant, with a family who hated her.
Bulgaria 1490
Eleanor sat outside the bedroom, ignoring the cries of her sister, even though she was the reason they were to leave after the child was born, she didn't hate her. The fear crept through her body again, she was banished from her home town at seventeen and was to take a probably weak and heartbroken Katerina with her. She moved into the room, pushing open the heavy wooden door and moved to her sisters head were she stroaked it. There were tears on the girls face, as she pushed and screamed, while there mother waited at the end of the bed.
"Oshte malko, skŭpa... oshte malko. Napŭvaĭ... oshte malko. Oshte malko, oshte malko. Napŭvaĭ. Momiche e. (A little more, dearest... a little more. Push... a little more. A little more, a little more. Push! It's a girl.)" The cries were loud and piercing but the baby in there mothers hands was pink and beautiful, Katerina sat up with wide eyes and a huge smile on her face.
"Momiche? Molya te, maĭko... pozvoli mi da ya vidya."(A girl. Please mother... let me see her.)"There was a slight beg in her voice, as everyone listened to the footsteps on there way upstairs, making Katerina hold out her arms fast, their mother moved towards her and steadily began to place the baby there.
"Zheno, nedeĭ! Kakvo pravish?"Woman, don't! What are you doing?)" The shout was loud, causing their mother to pull her arms back as the three girls turned to see their father stood in the doorway with a glare on his face, their mother stepped closer towards him and looked away towards the floor.
"Daĭ mi pone vednŭzh da ya podŭrzha... samo vednŭzh... pone vednŭzh."(Let me at least hold her once... just once... at least once.)" Katerina moved forward, her arms still held out towards her mother while Eleanor slowly stood up and looked at their father with a cold glare.
"Pozor... Pozor za nasheto semeĭstvo!" (Forget it... You have disgraced this family!)" Their father shouted, about to take the baby only for Eleanor to jump in the way, he glared again before he raised his hand letting it fall to her cheek. He watched her fall, clutching her face as he grabbed the baby and left, their mother following.
"Tatko, molya te! Ne, tatko, molya te, ne. Ne!"(Father, please! No, father... No! No!)"Katerina screamed, she was frantic. She tried to move off the bed only to gasp in pain at how weak she was, she looked to her sister with begging eyes. Eleanor turned away from the door and knelt in front of her sister, her hands grabbing her face as she looked into the scared brown eyes.
"Nedeĭ, Katerina. Taka e po-dobre za neya, Katerina. Taka e po-dobre za neya."(No Katerina. It's better for her! It's better for her!)"It was a lie and they both knew it but it was one that needed to be told, Katerina let her tears fall down her face as she stared pat her sister towards the door.
"Molya te, molya te ne, sestra."(No, sister, please...)" Katerina begged Eleanor, as he eyes slowly moved towards her face. Eleanor gulped, she wished she knew where they were going, but they were two girls with no much money and they were being sent away, banished, unable to care for a child.
"Ostavi ya... ostavi ya, Katerina."(Let her go... let her go, Katerina.)" Eleanor whispered to Katerina who looked back with a hard glare before she nodded and breathed out one more word.
"Molya te." (Please)"
She didn't miss it when she left, it didn't break her heart to leave their family. She just got on her horse and left with Katerine on one beside her. Their family didn't watch them leave, they didn't say goodbye or wish them luck. It was cold, winter but where they were going was probably going to be colder and wetter.
