The Sad Story Of Katerina Petrova/Katherine Pierce


        My name is Katherine Pierce, formerly known in Bulgaria as Katerina Petrova and I am a vampire. I was born into a wealthy Bulgaria family under the name of Katerina Petrova on June 5th, 1473 where I lived in a village like any human.

        In 1490, when I was seventeen years old, I became pregnant with an unknown man's baby. Because of that, my family disowned me for the shameful birth of an illegitimate daughter. I carried the child to term, but seconds after my daughter's birth, my father took her away, claiming it would be better for both of us if we never saw each other. You see, illegitimate children weren’t welcome in those days. I was devastated by this and tried to get my father to reconsider, saying, “Pa ‘pa, please!”, but as he walked away with her, he said, “No! You have disgraced this family!” I felt like my life had shattered. And to top it off, I was banished to England. There, I quickly learned to be English.

        In 1492, when I met Lord Elijah, Lord Niklaus, and Lord Trevor my life changed completely. After I met them, I thought they were gentlemen. Niklaus even kissed my hand. Trevor was the most polite, because he developed a crush on me.

        Later, I found out what his family is and that I was Klaus’ doppelganger. I ran from him, but Trevor found me in the woods. He told me to run to a cabin and tell her who had sent me. Rose let me in and compelled the old woman that owned the cabin, to bring me food and water. And after I had been fed and had had water, Rose locked me in one of the bedrooms. I took my dagger and cut my wrists, so I would die, instead of being brought to Klaus by Rose. But she smelled my blood and forced her blood down me. I gagged, and she went over to speak to Trevor. Trevor wanted me to live, but Rose was looking out for her and Trevor’s well-being. She told him that “whoever double crosses Klaus always ends up in his debt.” Trevor argued that he loved me. Then I saw a length of rope and hung myself.

        When I awoke, I was on the bed with an overwhelming hunger. I was in transition to become a vampire. I was so thirsty, and my feelings were heightened. Trevor asked me why I did it and told me he would’ve helped me escape. I told him that he would’ve helped me run.

        When Rose came at me with a stake to try and kill me, I pushed the old woman in front of me. Rose staked her, instead. The blood was so much that I couldn’t resist. So, I fed on the woman’s neck and tossed her to Rose. I apologized before fleeing.

        When I arrived back at my village in the latter months of 1492, I found all the villagers and my family dead; slaughtered. When I saw my ma’ ma’s body, I wept over her for what seemed like an hour. Then I ran from Bulgaria and stayed in England until I was banished after they found out what I am.

        In 1498, after escaping from Klaus, I returned to Bulgaria for my long-lost daughter whom was eight at the time. I searched every village and cottage that I could find but had no luck in finding her.

        When I came to America, I changed my name to Katherine Pierce and went to live in Mystic Falls, Virginia in 1864, where I told them that my parents were killed in a fire and I was an orphan. Mr. Giuseppe Salvatore, Stefan and Damon's father, took me in. So, I lived in the Salvatore boarding house and met Stefan. I fell in love with him, as he did with me. Then I met Damon after he came home from war to see his little brother. He had been fighting on the south side. Damon fell in love with me, as did I with him.

        Not long afterward, I told Damon and Stefan what I am. Because Stefan was so afraid of me, I compelled him not to be afraid of me. I couldn't have people in Mystic Falls knowing that I'm a vampire. And then Stefan made a big mistake by telling his father what I am. That led to the vampire raid. I was captured, but Damon and Stefan got me out. And then their father killed them, resulting in them waking up in transition.

        When they did awake, they saw the church fire and thought I was dead. But little did they know, I had a Lockwood on my side. George Lockwood helped me escape Mystic Falls in exchange for the moonstone that I still had in my possession. He helped me by helping me fake my own death.

        Throughout the centuries, I watched Damon and Stefan from a distance. I made sure they were safe.

        When I came back in 2009, I watched them from a distance. I wanted Stefan back. And then I saw the doppelganger. Elena Gilbert. I pretended to be Elena, which caused Damon and Stefan to go insane trying to figure out who was Elena and who was me at times. At the time, Stefan and Elena were together, but I wanted Stefan back. I felt like, in my absence, my doppelganger had taken him away from me. In the midst of trying to get back at Elena and trying to get Stefan back, I cut off John Gilbert's hands, turned Caroline Forbes, Liz Forbes' daughter and one of Elena's best friends, into a vampire, and other things I don't care to mention.

        In 2010, after Tyler Lockwood's Uncle Mason came to town, Mason and I worked together so I could get the moonstone back. But then Damon killed Mason when he found out that Mason was a spy for me. And then Tyler Lockwood and Caroline Forbes found out what one another are and, despite all odds, fell in love and stayed together. Then Tyler went through his very first transformation into a werewolf with the help of Caroline. And just so you know, John Gilbert was Elena's biological father, while Isobel was Elena's biological mother. Then, a little while later, John set a plan in motion to kill all vampires but didn't succeed. Elena, Alaric, Stefan, and Bonnie stopped him. John just couldn't see Elena's view point on vampires. All he saw was what he was taught from a young age; to destroy all vampires. Also, just so you know, Bonnie is Elena's other best friend and a Bennett descended witch.

        About a month later Elijah, Trevor, and Rose came to town. Elijah came on behalf of Klaus to collect his doppelganger, Elena Gilbert. Trevor and Rose took her hostage to take her to Elijah when he came. It was to get out of debt with Klaus for Trevor helping me when I was human. Elijah let Rose go but killed Trevor. The Salvatore brothers then came to Elena's rescue and took her home after staking Elijah. Obviously, that only killed him temporarily.

        When Klaus came to town, I quit with my games, so I could keep a low profile so that Klaus wouldn't kill me. I know I should've left town, but I didn't. I wanted to know what the hell Klaus was up to this time around. And then I found out that he was in town to find Elena Gilbert. He started trouble for us, all because he wanted to find Elena, so he could use her in the ritual to break the curse his mother, Esther, put upon him. And after the ritual, John gave up his life so that when Elena awoke, she would not become a vampire once so ever, since Damon force fed her his blood before the ritual, not trusting Elijah's elixir. But before he did, he left a note for Jeremy and Elena so that they would end on good terms. And after the ritual, Jules and Elena and Jeremy's Aunt Jenna were all dead. So, a few days later, they had a funeral for their Aunt Jenna.

        In 2011, we all attempted to kill Niklaus Mikaelson, but it didn't work, so I left town to save my own ass from being crushed by Klaus. So, I made my way to New York and stayed there for a while until Damon, vampire Elena without her humanity on, and Klaus' only sister Rebekah, came to New York in search of me since I had the cure for vampirism after awakening Silas and killing Elena's brother Jeremy Gilbert. But then I tricked them and handed the cure over to Elijah. I trust him with my life always and forever.

        When I arrived back in Mystic Falls, Virginia in 2012, Silas was messing with everyone's minds. He even got inside Klaus' head, making him think that he was dying with a piece of a White Oak stake still inside him. And then, around the time of Elena's graduation, I was mad at Bonnie for not giving me the cure back to me, so I took out on Elena and almost killed her. In order to survive, she forced the cure down my throat which made me human. And during this same time, the Originals left town, but before Elena and I had a face to face fight in the high school hallway, Elijah said his good-bye to me and kissed me on the cheek before he left to join Niklaus, his only living brother. Soon after, Rebekah followed to make sure Elijah was okay.

        At the end of 2012, I tried to commit suicide, but Stefan caught me before I could finish falling from the clock tower in Mystic Falls. And that's when I finally told him what happened to me. So, despite how much Damon has tried to keep his word that he would protect me from Silas, it will never work. Especially, when he actually fed me to Silas himself to bring Bonnie back to life. Now Bonnie is alive and so is Jeremy. And no matter how much I try, I will never be able to defeat or stop time from killing me faster than normal. I am rapidly dying of old age each day. Damon and Elena don't even know it. But there is one thing that has brought me some happiness and peace deep down through recent events. My daughter that I searched for when she was eight years old, now I know as Nadia Petrova, found me. She has left town, though and when I was on my way to find a traveler to see if the traveler could help keep me alive longer, I hadn't even gotten half way down the stairs at the Salvatore boarding house when I had a heart attack.

        Currently, in the year of 2013, I am in the hospital still alive, but I am still dying.
