Hey guys! So here is another story about with my character Anelie Petrova who in this story plays Nadia's Daughter.
I just wanted to say to all the people who take the time to read my stories even if you do not review—thank you so much, you guys truly make my day just to see that more and more pairs of eyes have read my stories and also thank you for not getting annoyed with the fact that all of my stories have something to do with a second daughter of Katherine Pierce or a granddaughter—for some reason I thought people would not like the idea but I suppose I was wrong—let me know!
Anyway I will stop rambling. Enjoy yet another story of mine—Running Again
Xoxo

"So tell me," Katherine Pierce, now in the form of Elena Gilbert said to her newly found daughter, Nadia Petrova, "I'm curious as to how exactly the family line continued on?"
"Are you asking if I had a baby?"
Katherine nodded, "If you put it that way; yes—I am," she grinned
Nadia shook her head with a hint of a smile lying on her lips, "I did—two actually." She informed receiving rising eyebrows from her mother, "Really, two huh?"
"That's right—Molly and Anelie,"
Katherine giggled, "And both of them girls; my god you must have had your hands full."
Nadia shrugged, "A little but for the most part they were perfectly well behaved, but Anelie, if anything, was the only one I had trouble with—being like her grandmother and all. I now know why she was such a handful at times."
Katherine scoffed, "Oh come on I'm not that bad,"
Nadia cocked her head showing accusing eyes
Katherine gave in, "Alright, alright, I'll admit I was quite the troublemaker as a teenager,"
"Obviously," Nadia spoke with much built up sarcasm.
Katherine laughed, "Okay, okay—tell me more; what were my grandchildren like?"
"Well past tense isn't needed, at least not for the both of them."
Said Vampire shot a puzzled expression, "What?"
"Anelie is still alive; she was turned after I was."
"Well where is she?" Demanded the now intrigued Petrova, "Anelie is living in Prague, and she didn't want to leave."
"Does she know why you came here?" Asked Katherine, Nadia nodded, "Yes, she and I had a very long discussion about it as a matter-of-fact,"
Katherine's expression slowly transformed into a disappointed gaze, "Oh…well, then she must have had something keeping her?"
"We've lived there for years now, she's managed to build a life: Made friends, she goes to school and goes out and does everything that a normal teenage girl does." Nadia informed
Katherine smiled softly, "Well…it seems that she is enjoying life then."
"She is…" Nadia wet her lips before saying, "You know…she calls every day; asks about you all the time."
"She does?" Katherine asked taken aback
"Yes, in fact she asked when she would be able to meet you. She's now talking about how lonely she is even being around all of her friends."
"Well, that is because she doesn't have her mother who has been by her side since the day that she was born." Katherine smiled softly
Nadia returned it, "Maybe I can talk her into coming here, I miss having her with me—it is weird not having her around, I'll admit."
"I'm sure; having someone with you all the time for five-hundred years and then not being with them; especially being that it's your daughter…I'd feel the same way." She stated
Nadia prepared to respond when her phone sitting on the bed beside her began to ring, she smiled, "Speak of the devil; Hey Baby Doll." She answered
"Mommy! Guess what?" The feminine voice on the other side asked with excitement filling in her tone, "Whaaat?" Asked Nadia "Ask me no more because, drum roll…; I'm flying into Virginia tonight!" she informed
Nadia's eyes lit up with pure surprise, "Say again?" Nadia set the phone to speaker
"Yeah, I was missing you too much and couldn't stand another day being alone so I hopped onto a flight yesterday evening and I just landed in New York, it is absolutely breathtaking here Mama."
"When is your next flight?"
"I have an hour layover, I'll be landing in, well not Virginia but Atlanta, I'm going to rent a car and drive the rest of the way; I wanted to surprise you and just show up but I couldn't help myself I was too excited!" She giggled
"Let's pick her up," whispered Katherine
Nadia smiled, "Don't worry about renting a car, I'm picking you up."
"Oh, Mom, you don't have to do that—"
"I want to and Katherine is coming too."
"Katherine—oh!" She laughed, "My grandmother, sounds awesome I can't wait to finally meet her!"
"Do you know what time you get in?" Asked Nadia
"Uhm, our landing time in around Eight-Thirty," Anelie replied
"Okay well, we will be there waiting for you, I cannot wait to see you."
"You have no idea Momma and tell Katherine that I am very excited to see her as well. I love you, Mommy"
"I Love you too,"
The line died and Katherine fell back onto the bed, "She sounds adorable, Nadia."
Nadia smiled, "Underneath all that adorableness she is much like you, I found it hilarious when I could finally make the connections."
"She's cold, Manipulative and has good hair?" Katherine teased
Nadia nodded, "Beautiful hair, much more like yours than mine…she apparently put a few stands of red in hers too."
"She did?"
"Yeah, she wanted to "Mix things up"" Nadia answered turning her phone screen to Katherine where a picture of an almost look-alike was unveiled, Katherine took the phone and was taken by surprise how much her granddaughter looked like her; Anelie stood between two girls on her right and another on her left along with two boys
"It is easy to tell which one is her without even knowing." Katherine giggled, "Reminds me of someone,"
Nadia smiled wide, "I wonder who that could be."
"Well I'll tell you one thing: She very much fits the Petrova profile—she's gorgeous," Katherine added proudly
Later that Night…
Nadia waited beside Katherine eagerly awaiting the arrival of Anelie. They both stood at the bottom of a pair of escalators where passengers came down to collect their luggage.
I just left the gate!
Nadia read the text allowed, "She's on her way, any second now."
Katherine smiled happily
Nadia locked her eyes on the top of the escalator, her eyes examining each person that stepped onto it and finally after few long minutes a smiling face met hers, "Mommy!" Anelie called
Nadia now couldn't stand still, she waved to her fifteen year old daughter and ran up to hug her just as she stepped off the moving stairwell, "Mommy, finally!" she said tightly hugging her mother whom she had not seen in almost ten months now.
Nadia picked her up and spun her around, "Oh my god, I've missed you so much." Nadia said
"You have no idea," said Anelie, her feet now back on the ground, "Where's Katherine? I wanna meet her," Anelie wondered with eagerness in her voice, "Right over there," Nadia gestured taking Anelie's hand and moving over to Katherine, "Katherine, I would like you to meet, Anelie, my daughter. Anelie this is Katherine, your grandmother."
Katherine smiled softly, "I love that I'm finally meeting you."
"Same can be said for you, I've only spent the last five centuries searching for you with my mother." Anelie giggled
"I've been told," Said Katherine, "And actually it was only right before you called your mother today that I was told about you."
"Ooh?" Anelie smirked, "And I take it she just gushed on and on about what a little Angel I am,"
Nadia shook her head rolling her eyes, "Well I finally figured out where you received your Angelic personality from."
"Let me guess," said Anelie, "I owe you the thanks," she replied looking at Katherine again, Katherine shrugged, "Maybe a little."
It was close to mid-night by the time the three girls glowing with Petrova fire go to the hotel in Mystic Falls; Anelie was amazed at how quiet the town was and how small it appeared to be compared to the city that she had just left in Czech
"So Anelie, your Mother informed me that you went to school, was it High School or College?"
Katherine and Nadia and Anelie were all now comfortable lounging on one of the King beds, "I was just about to become a sophomore in College but, I dropped to come here. It was getting a little too human for my liking."
"Too Human," Katherine repeated wanting clarification, "Too everyday go to school boring human life. I like to mix things up, living in Prague is amazing don't get me wrong. But honestly it was beginning to not be worth it. I was starting to forget why I became a Vampire and it was surly not to go to school. I want to live."
Katherine smiled, "Oh yes, there is no doubt about it. You are most definitely a Petrova."
Anelie laughed, "I try,"
After a moment of silence her phone began to ring, "Can you hand my phone to me, Mom?" Anelie asked
Nadia reached over taking the phone from the nightstand and handing it to Anelie, she smiled when she saw it was her friend Kristophe, "Hey," She answered, "Kinda early, no?"
"Anelie, something has happened,"
She sighed, "And what exactly happened…?"
"Excuse me?" she demanded after several silent moments; a burning sensation hitting her eyes suddenly, "How the hell did that happened?"
"Joe did it,"
"You mean that Burst Angel freak?"
Katherine and Nadia exchanged looks of confusion, "Burst Angel?" Katherine mouthed
"Anelie, listen, Joe and her crew left a note with Holly's body, and they said that they were coming after you next. They know that you left Prague and they have people tracking you down now. You have to go into hiding, do you understand?"
"B-but what about you and the others; let's not forget I'm your leader it is my job to protect you—come here, the next flight out—,"
"Anelie you can't always be the hero and that's okay; as our leader you need to stay alive, just be on high alert but stay low, alright? Promise you won't do anything stupid?"
Anelie sighed tears streaking her cheeks, "I'm not promising anything, Holly was human she stood no chance against them on her own—I'm a Vampire Joe and Megan may be immortal but I'm older than them—I'll do whatever I can from where I am. Leading them away from Prague was a start,"
Kristophe sighed, "At the cost of Holly's life."
Anelie shook her head, "She was a way to get your attention—Stay together, okay? And if you hear anything else of Joe, tell me."
He nodded, "Of course and you don't leave your Mom's side, she and anyone else who can help protect you stay with them, we can't lose you, Anelie."
Anelie nodded, "I will, I promise." With that she hung up her phone
"What was that all about?" Nadia asked
Anelie looked besides her returning her mother's gaze, "…there is something you should know…" She sniffed wiping away the streaks of water from her cheeks, "There is a reason that I left Prague…and uhm…well: I'm the leader of a group of Travelers; we were a bound group and in binding our coven we made enemies."
"What…kind of enemies?"
"A group of hunters, they kill any kind of supernatural being and our group they have been targeting for months now. They call themselves Burst Angels. Don't ask why, I have no idea." Explained Anelie hugging her knees to her chest, "They killed my friend Holly, her family was one of the most powerful but she's human and because of that she…couldn't take on all of the Burst Angels at once on her own. It's close to impossible for a human, Traveler or not."
"What exactly do they want from your Coven?" asked Katherine
"To get rid of us for good, I had no idea about the binding of a coven until Kristophe came up to me one day and told me that I was a part of the families chosen to be in this particular coven of Travelers," Anelie looked to Katherine, "But the Petrova's barley practiced, we were never in a coven before, my father would have told me."
Anelie shook her head, "It isn't on the Petrova side that we get this binding from."
"Your father." Said Nadia, Anelie nodded, "Dad was a descendant from one of the most powerful travelers in history."
"Do you know what that Travelers name might be?" Wondered Katherine
"Silas…" Informed Anelie
Katherine cocked her head, "I wasn't aware Silas had had children."
"He and Amara were together before Quetsyia was in the picture, Artemis and Helios was their son and daughter's names."
"How come Silas never said anything about having children with Amara?" wondered Katherine aloud
Anelie shrugged, "They were dead and he barely knew his children, same with Amara, she was turned to stone and Silas was locked away before their kids turned six."
Nadia sighed softly hugging Anelie close to her, "Everything will be okay I promise, I'll keep you safe, I always will."
"Me too," Said Katherine scooting up and placing a hand on top of Anelie's that rested on her thigh, "We won't let anything bad happen to you, I'll be dammed before I sit and let my granddaughter fall into oblivion."
Anelie smiled, her head lying on Nadia's chest, "Thank you, Katherine,"
Katherine returned a soft smile, "Now, it's late, try and get some sleep." She leaned up and kissed Anelie on her head, "Goodnight, Nadia."
Katherine rose from their bed and moving over to hers, "Night, Katherine."
Anelie snuggled down under the warm comforter beside her mother whose arms remained wrapped tightly around her, "I love you Mommy."
Nadia kissed Anelie's head and said, "I love you more."
And not much later Anelie found herself being consumed into a deep and restful sleep.
P.S. so I got a review by a Guest correcting me on my ways (Which I thank her oh-so-much for) SO thank you for trying to not make me look like a total idiot, I had no idea that Czechoslovakia split into two different countries in 1989.
Guest who corrected me please PM me because I would love just chat with you :)
