Hello, guys, how are you? I'm doing better now, sorry for not uploading as often anymore but on Saturday, 8th of February 2020, I had an accident, I hit my head, my mum hurried to close the bootlit's door and it hit me in the head, I was bleeding from 7 pm up to 3 am and I was diagnosed with traumatic brain injury, it took me four weeks to be back to normal, I had trouble actually writing, speaking both in Greek and English was hard, Greek was easier being it's my mother tongue but I couldn't find any words that I wanted and my accent in English is gone.
I'm still recovering but I'm keep writing. Also, my residency is keeping busy so I try to write as much and once I can, both internet wise and time-wise, I will upload.
Anyways, I want to say thank you to all those who are reading this story and my stories in general! It means a lot!
With this story I suggest you listen to the following song(s):

Chapter 06: Thalia Andonov
"Well?" Hope demanded and the two witches before her looked at Hope slightly confused.
"She is my ancestor, the last one to be ever born in this dimension. Finn, your uncle was looking after them ever since Nadia got married to her husband. She turned Nadia into a vampire after her death during the childbirth of Thalia. She then left her six children alone and she went to look for revenge on Katherine." Nansia explained with a matter of fact to Hope.
"So, you're a doubleganger just like Elena Salvatore?" Hope asked confused and a little taken aback.
"Well, no, not that I know of besides Thalia at least in the vision I was shown by Sheila Bennett along with your Uncle Elijah's spirit she was far more beautiful than me. And the only resemblance is our face's shape and the eye shape nothing else. She is a model thin and her eyes are greener than mine, duh, and lastly, she has different hair color. Besides, we don't look that alike, we look alike but as much as a related bunch would." Nansia tried to explain why Thalia looked so much like her but in all honesty her resemblance wasn't that identical if she put herself, her mum and Thalia in a room.
She and her mum would be voted as the most look-alikes in comparison with Thalia.
"Besides me and my mum look more alike than I and Thalia. I wish I could show you pictures of my family..." Nansia said with a sigh as she got under her covers and Penelope snuggled in beside her as the two got comfortable then Hope sat at the feet of the bed Indian style.
"So, what do you want to do since I'm here? Are you guys done with homework?" Hope asked excitedly and then wore Nansia's jacket since she felt chilly.
"I haven't done my homework yet...I mean It's the history of this place and I don't know any of this dimension." Nansia admitted and the girls' laughed at her.
"Then local documentaries it is!" Penelope said smiling and Hope nodded as she reached to Penelope's bed and grabbed a few pillows and put them on the Nansia's bed and got comfortable again at the feet of the bed.
Penelope brought her laptop and started researching.
"Nansia, do you need subtitles?" Penelope asked her confused.
"Nope! I'm good." Nansia said smiling.
The three girls spent four hours watching three documentaries and helping Nansia keep notes before they called it a night.
When the morning came it found the three girls curled up in Nansia's bed.
They resumed their routines when the alarm clock rang and Hope rushed to her room to get ready.
Nansia though felt this very weird sensation that what she was shown by the spirits of Elijah and Sheila was not making any sense.
No one knows what came before Kamen Andonoglou and her son, her great grandpa and her grandpa's dad.
Maybe Kamen was Thalia's granddaughter...it would make sense.
"So, why didn't Hope to ask me about her uncle?" Nansia asked Penelope whos sighed.
"Her uncle Elijah loved her mum and when her mum needed him, he didn't save her but caused her death and then later killed himself along with her dad. She doesn't exactly love him." Penelope said to Nansia as they got ready.
"Yikes..." Nansia mumbled as she put over her shirt and then got shocked as Penelope peak her lips and smiled as Nansia grabbed her hand and kissed her normally.
"Good morning." Nansia smiled at her girlfriend before Penelope let out a happy laugh.
Good morning to you too. Breakfast?" Penelope said smiling as the two girls went downstairs to the cafeteria.
They ate breakfast while Nansia was thinking of this Thalia Antonov and her connection to Finn Mikaelson and her child being a part wolf and how her whole life she was being called "little wolf" because of her hearing, her silent walking,,.strong and sensitive nose and her quick healing.
Although agility wasn't her strong suit or sight, after all, she's been wearing glasses since she was in 1st grade of Primary School aka since she can remember herself.
Then a memory flashed before her eyes;
Flashback:
It was just days after her mum gave birth to her baby sister and her mum was watching her from the balcony while she was going to school.
Due to a recent snowed so the road was iced and so was the pavement. Suddenly, her mum's yells telling her to get on the street where the snow was gone made her stop hearing what was going on around her since her eyesight was already starting to fade day by day she didn't hear or felt the vibrations of a motorcycle or the car coming her way until it was too late she felt her body coming into contact with the vehicle and specifically the windshield of the car then with a thud she was thrown on the pavement where her nose broke by the thudding of the pavement but as she tried to raise her head she felt the wheel of the motorcycle having her hair stuck in it.
Two very worried drivers rushed to her and called the ambulance when suddenly she lost consciousness and came to a hospital corridor.
She watched as people came and went as she was stuck there before she saw a white figure and a black one. Shadows that caused her nothing but fear.
Suddenly she felt four very strong punches of electricity before she gasped for air but she couldn't breathe.
"Hi, little girl, I'm Doctor Soglou and you have been in a terrible crash but you are safe and okay now. Just take it slow." The doctor had told her but she couldn't move her body was frozen.
"I can't move." She had said to the doctor who nodded saying had she had broken couple of bones and the only way to make sure she had any fighting chance of walking again they symbolized her entire body.
"I want my mommy and daddy." Nansia cried in despair but the doctor told her they hadn't come yet.
As the doctor left the nurses came and she managed to learn that she had died on the road before the paramedics showed up they had tried eight times with electric pads but nothing worked unti they doubled the voltage.
Her mum and dad came during visiting hours which made Nansia sadder her and made her feel as if she wasn't that important as much as Nicol, her step-dad and her mum, the little Skorpiti family.
She wasn't her dad's daughter.
She was alone and it hurt.
Her entire body was broken and so was her soul. She wasn't the same after that.
Despite what the doctors said she made full recovery in two months and as she returned home she couldn't look at herself in the mirror, her nose and lips and even teeth were so badly hurt that the first layer of skin was completely destroyed from the frostbite and the sudden impact both on the windshield and the pavement.
Her nose, lips and teeth healed a week after she returned home but the bullying started once she returned from the hospital.
They threw her down the stairs, pulled her hair, while she run they would make her trip and fall. Call her names.
Along with what she had to do at home while her mum was starting to get sick, the abuse she suffered after the surgeries. For a decade she was beaten and bruised again and again and again.
End of Flashback:
She felt this intense anger flushed in her and angry tears spilled down her cheeks but no one noticed...at least from the living.
Unknowingly, Klaus' spirit had gone into her mind and saw everything she remembered. He pities her and yet he couldn't understand her.
He was watching his daughter from heaven when suddenly this girl showed up. He saw his daughter make a spell that could potentially bring anyone just to chase her loneliness away and 48 hours later this girl shows up and Hope seems to be happier.
And her back story is very messed up.
And her legacy even more.
Nansia stood up and walked out and went to a bathroom nearby and splashed water on her face then a burning question made her stop in her tracks.
What caused Thalia's family being killed? Or better yet who caused their deaths?
"My father did. He thought that Finn had fallen in love and was happy. He didn't need anything more." Klaus' voice scared her and she turned to face him.
"How? Did you read my mind?" Nansia asked and he chuckled and nodded.
"Why? Why am I connected to you? Why suddenly I learn that all my "cute gifts" as dad used to say comes from some ancestor of mine being a hybrid of a werewolf and a witch. But why? Why with every generation those gifts faded and then boom suddenly I have all the power and I attract evil?" Nansia asked tired and Klaus didn't know what to answer to her so he just decided to encourage her to research.
"Instead of sitting in a bathroom wondering I suggest you go find the answers you seek just like you did in your own world, through the books." Klaus said smiling and then Nansia smiled happily.
Before she walked out of the bathroom she suddenly felt this strong feeling of coldness and dizziness then she collapsed to the floor.
The Other Side:
Nansia woke up before none other than Thalia Andonov.
"Hello, I'm here to answer all your questions." Thalia said smiling as she sat on the grass of that meadow and Nansia hesitantly sat opposite her.
"Why you left this dimension? Who killed your husband and your kids? What do they have to do with the werewolf gene?" Nansia asked confused and worried.
"Well, I was the last child of Nadia Andonov or as you know it, Nadia Petrova, and Aleksandar Andonov. Nadia gave birth to me and my twin brother Dimitri and I killed her, Finn had to give her his blood and turn her in order for her to survive. Sage and my father were as supportive as it can be. But my mother was always obsessed with finding out why her mother abandoned her. But when she was turned those feelings heightened. And she left us trying to find her and give her a piece of her mind."
"Sage, Finn and my dad raised all of us as lovingly as they could but the more we grew up the more all my brothers and sisters fell in love with werewolves from the packs all around and married into them. Dad was okay with this but Finn and Sage were worried about all of us and about Klaus finding us and killing us. And I fell in love with a werewolf from a pack near what you call now Thrace in Greece while I was traveling with Sage because I was the last unmarried Antonov daughter and Sage had promised my dad that I couldn't get married unless I truly fell in love. We visited Greece and we came across a pack that the only survivor was a father and a son. We fell in love and they agreed to follow us back home where we got married and my husband and my father in law started a new pack."
"And we had kids who were hybrids as you call them but with one difference they had no curse to trigger they had all the perks of being a wolf but they weren't turning yet their magic was very strong. The rest of the packs where my brothers and sisters were married to call our kids "wolfbloods" and like that they started to call them."
"Finn and Sage stayed up to the point my dad got sick with fever and died. Mum never returned. Unfortunately, hunters were overruling Europe at this time and learned of our family and my sibilings' families and killed them all one by one. We had no time to warn one another that is when I use my magic with a very dangerous spell to at least save my son."
"That spell exhaust me so much when I managed to get to the other dimension. I was again in very similar wood-like settings and I was terrified out of my mind holding my infant son like it was and truly it was the most important thing in my life. There I saw a farm and I walked towards it. I collapsed at their doorstep only to see a man that looked so much like my late father."
"I was beyond confused but thankful. He allowed me in and I explained to him that my husband was robbed and kill while we were traveling. He allowed me to stay and I worked on the farm and fields with him and he paid me with food and roof over my head. Soon, he became like a father figure, ironically, and learned that his wife had died in their first childbirth and so was the babe. I took care of him until his death where he gave me in his will the farm and fields."
"I raised my son and watched him fall in love then get married and having children. Life was normal and peaceful until my death. But I made sure my son was aware of his heritage and that he would pass it down. I'm sad to see your family failing to do so when it comes to you and your sister. Unfortunately, my daughter-in-law and her family were never believers so my son had to teach the kids in secret. And then watch the generation after generation being called crazy and institutionalized for their gifts."
"Then you were born, my sweet Vasiliki, you were a small miracle! You were dead for twenty minutes after you were born and you brought yourself back from the dead. That is when I knew you were strong unfortunately I could only watch you and not interfere. But I saw everything you went through and I know you can be very powerful. And I'm proud of you!"
"You see when you first had your psychic break you opened a crack in the dimension and I managed to reunite with our ancestors and I learned a prophecy for you. They called you the Wolf Witch, a witch with the blood of a wolf destined to be the uniter and the equalizer. Unfortunately, no one knows what you are meant to unite or equalize. I asked around and I saw this scene from a vision it was given to me. See, my grandchild and make sense."
Thalia finished telling her their story and then grabbed her hand.
Nansia's eyes flashed Green and Blue as the vision was shown;
Vision:
Nansia stood before a black pit and as she blinked the pit looked burnt and she was crying. She teleported back into the school but in the backyard and saw the burnt stacks of papers turned to ash and with one wave of her hand the ash was restored back into papers and she picked them up as she runs to Saltzman's office asking for Hope.
"Hope who?" Alaric as looked at the stacks of papers there as she slammed it on his desk and reached to get them.
"What the hell? Please! Please remember her!" Nansia pleaded him and then she touched his hand and his eyes flashed just like hers when she uses too much of her power.
"Now, remember her!" Nansia yelled as she looked at Alaric and he looked shocked.
Then Nansia's nose started bleeding but as Alaric saw her eyes turn from blue and green to a yellowish gold before finally going back to brownish greenish and then fainting.
End of Vision:
"Why do I have the same eyes as a wolf in the end? Do I turn into one?" Nansia asked confused.
"Yes, you can only if you are willing and picture yourself. I saw it happen a lot in our bloodline whenever they would feel as if they lost everything and got triggered by sadness and loneliness but I also see I being triggered by happiness and wanting to run around and play...oh how wonderful wolves we make! I had triggered mine I had a golden and brown fur...so beautiful!" Thalia said smiling and Nansia nodded as she rubbed her head as a headache started.
"Look, I know you have so many new information just thrown at you so get back and rest and when you are ready to learn actual magic, instead of wasting time in this school not that it's not a great school don't get me wrong but you don't know how much time you have left, call me by thinking of me. I'll be there. Now, rest." Thalia said with a kind smile as she touched Nansia's hand and sent her back.
End of The Other Side:
Nansia gasped back and she was still laying on the floor she sat up and slowly walked to her dorm, put her pjs on and fell asleep like a light.
She didn't care she wasn't attending class she was very tired. All these mind games with spirits had drained her.
She had survived ALLIE's mind games and now the ancestors she wondered when will she become crazy like her aunt Eva, her step-dad's older sister.
Hours passed as Nansia slept and dreamed of being back in 2149. But a peaceful one where she would sit around the fire and say stories before they all go to bed.
Penelope walked into the room and saw her girlfriend sleeping and looking exhausted and then she smiled as she started on her homework.
Nansia woke up and saw a bunch of homework on her desk and Penelope was doing hers.
"You have a lot to catch up. Once you're done you are telling me where were you?" Penelope said as she continued solving her math homework.
She stood up and went to her desk and started looking over them. But she had no idea what was she seeing.
Homework and keeping up with the classes was one of the two things she was failing in this dimension but she didn't mind it that much since she now knew that being a human (or a wolf witch...whatever that means) means that you are bound to fail in things and not being able to catch up with life in general. She was proud of herself managing not only to figure some of her heritage out and why she has those powers but also find friends AND a girlfriend she liked very much. So, not understand that coursework before didn't spoil her mood.
"Penelope, do you know to whom should I refer to when I want to look for a tutor to help me catch up with all of you? Also, did I do something and you're so tense?" Nansia asked her girlfriend who looked at her with a serious face.
"Well, yes talk to Dr. Saltzman and he should point you to the right person. And I'm like this because you rudely stood up from the breakfast table and left with no excuse or anything then you don't show up for ANY class and NOW you're worried about catching up? If you truly wanted to catch up you wouldn't be ditching classes to sleep in you would put your butt down and work as hard as everyone else is working, hell even the Saltzman twins work harder than you at this moment! And I get it you had a difficult childhood and traumatic things happened to you that don't allow you to trust easily but guess what similar if not the worst things have happened to all of us yet we try to not shut people out! You are shutting us out, Nansia! And we are trying all so hard to put our differences aside to hang out with you because we all like you but me and Lizzie don't get along, Josie is my ex who has a special place in my heart and it makes thing weird and awkward when we share a table, Rafael is in love with Hope while she's dating Landon and seeing them together all lovey-dovey makes him wanting to puke his guts out, MG loves Lizzie but Lizzie likes Rafael and she's too self-absorbed, Keleb could care less about all of us but MG is his best friend so he suffers through it and Jed..well Jed and Rafael didn't have the best of a start because Rafael stole from Jed the Alpha status in the pack and now Jed is forced to obey him and what about you? You just disappear the entire with nothing, not a word!" Penelope started talking in a normal tone at first but as words came out of her mouth she became far angrier she became and in need to take everything out of her chest.
Hers and everyone's lives turned upside down ever since Nansia showed up and her need to keep a natural standing in the school's gossips was respected till today when she pulled that rude stand.
Nansia froze in complete shock, she didn't know where all of this came from and the words used in Penelope's speech made her flinch and have a terrible flashback to when her mother used to accuse her of shielding herself from everyone while she was trying to heal from the abuse and the shock of one day being a normal 15-year-old to a 24-year-old stuck in a 15-year-old's body after traveling in 2149.
Nansia couldn't keep her eyes from watering so she did what she always did, she ran away.
She ran and ran into the woods until she halted before a very high cliff where there was a stream angrily roaring underneath it. Her chest rising and falling while her lungs worked overtime to provide oxygen she didn't hear her name being called.
The only she listened was her own mind yelling at her;
"You would always be a failure no matter how much you try! End it now! You're not worthy or special!"
Nansia then heard her name being called by Jed and she instantly looked at the cliff then back at where Jed's voice was coming from she saw him reaching her and she didn't want him to stop her.
Then she turned one last time before the cliff and jumped off it. Jed rush to her yelling "no!" and grabbed her sleeve but it was too late, she slipped right out of Jed's hands and he cursed his existence. He saw her splash into the water and then saw the blood spilling into the waves. Jed was sure she was dead so with tears in his eyes he rushed to the shore by climbing down some rocks that they were placed by nature as steps and he rushed into the stream and tried to search for her body while still yelling her name and crying.
The cold water made it hard for him not to shake even his wolf was complaining about it but he had to find Nansia.
When he met her for the first time he felt this intrigue towards her and then like he knew her or something, her aura was so familiar to him that he just wanted to be around her and get to know her. Being around her made his wolf feel calm and relaxed and the same effect was happening for him too when it came to Nansia but the shock of it all made him keep his distance to allow her to accumulate to the school and him to make sense the feelings.
But seeing her today running while he was studying in the woods when there was calmness made him question if she was in danger or not but when he saw her standing in the cliff he knew what she was about to do.
She was about to commit suicide!
He found her laying flat on top of the water a huge gash on her forehead from the cliffs surrounding the stream, he saw that her left arm was broken from the fingertips up to the elbow and her shoulder dislocated and her knees were also broken. He tried very hard to pull her out of the water without causing much damage and he laid her on the shore that was laid with smaller and thinner rocks. He looked at the cloudy sky and then hugged Nansia using his heat of his wolf to keep her warm while he came up with a plan.
That was when he felt it; his wolf was sighing in comfort and Jed just raised his eyebrows to his own wolf confused.
So? What do you think about this? Was Penelope right or not? What about Nansia's behavior? Tell me in your comments/reviews!
I look forward to reading them!
