*12 years ago* (Hope and Talia were 5)

Talia pov

I was being shaken awake by Hope.

"It's my birthday," she said happily.

OMG. TODAY IS OUR BIRTHDAY!!!

We walked out of the door in our pjs and we made it down the stairs. We both had huge smiles on our face. As soon as Hope made it through the door to the living room, she was picked up by dad.

"DADDY! Are those all for me?!" she pointed to the large pile of presents.

"Yes my angel. It's the most important day of the year and its all about you!!" he exclaimed excitedly.

'As if every day already isn't', I thought.

I peer around expectedly, loooking for my pile of presents.

"Someone is excited for Hope's birthday", my dad said, looking at me.

"Don't you remember what today is?" I ask.

"Hope's birthday!" he answers confidently.

I sigh, and roll my eyes. 'Of course they've forgotten.' I think.

Uncle Elijah looked at me and scowled, "Stop being such a brat Nathalia. It's your sister's day. Do NOT ruin it."

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

After Hope finished opening her presents, the family decided to go on a day trip into New Orleans, leaving me by myself yet again.

I wondered round the house hopelessly, until I stumbled across the basement.

I opened up one of the cells, and there in the middle lay a table. A beautiful girl was lying across it, and grey veins covered her body. I quickly ran upstairs and got a blood bag. I poured it into her mouth and her skin went back to a pale, but exotic, complexion.

She looked at me, confused, "Who are you?" she asked softly.

"My name is Nathalia Katerina Mikaelson, lovely to make your acquaintance", I offer my hand.

She shakes my hand saying, "I'm Katerina Petrova, or better known as Katherine Pierce. Your Klaus' daughter, aren't you?"

"Yes I am, but I am going to help you", I say, liking this woman already. With my powers, I could sense she was the mate of my late uncle, Finn.

"And why would you help me?" she sneers.

"Because one of us should be able to escape", I place my hand in hers yet again, and mutter a spell. Her eyes widen as she is able to see my whole past, every comment, every insult, every time I get pushed down by my supposedly family.

"I'm so sorry," she says meekly. "No one should have to go through that alone. I have an idea. If you help me escape, and build a secret life in New Orleans, I will help you with anything."

"Yes, that sounds fair," I agree.

And so a friendship was built between Katherine and Talia. A great friendship.
Katherine felt like she had a daughter again as she laughed and had fun with Talia.
Talia felt like she had an amazing mum, who loves her and protects her.

IT IS QUITE A LONG PROLOGUE, BUT I WANTED A FLASH FROM THE PAST SO YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN KATHERINE AND TALIA.
