Introduction
My name is Katherine Pierce and I am a vampire. I was born in the year 1475 in a village in Bulgaria. My human name was Katerina Petrova. I was born into a poor family who disowned me in 1490, when I had an illegitimate daughter. I carried my child to term and gave birth to a healthy girl, before I was ever turned. At that point of time, I knew nothing about vampires or other things existing. My father took her away just seconds after she was born, saying, "You have disgraced this family!"
On The Run
It's a dark night as I drive the SUV out of Mystic Falls, Virginia to save my own ass from being crushed by Klaus.
As I drive, I call up Damon Salvatore to let him know, just in case he decides to start worrying about me. If there's anything that hasn't changed about Damon, it's that he worries about others when they're in the midst of danger. I have grown to learn everything about him over the centuries. Even before I turned him. Just like I did with his brother. I do know that something that will probably never change is that he still loves me. In truth, I have grown to love him, too. But I will always love Stefan. Stefan and I will love each other forever. Just as he told me a few nights ago. That he will love me forever. But something that Damon sometimes lets get in the way that I don't, is love. I put aside love so I can always win. Always be one step ahead of the enemy. That's what I have learned. And if you don't do that, and if you screw up, you're dead. Especially if it's Klaus that you're fleeing from.
"Hello," he answers his cell.
"It's me," I reply.
"Katherine."
"I'm leaving. Klaus sent his hybrids after me."
"Take care of yourself, Katherine."
"I always do. Stay one step ahead of the enemy."
"Good-bye, Katherine."
We hang up.
I'm on my own now. I'm alone. Sometimes it helps to be alone. It helps that I'm the only one I have to worry about protecting if anything goes down. That way I don't have to worry about anyone but moi. That's French for me.
Travel
It's a dark night, as I cross into Alabama, heading towards the beautiful state of Arizona as speedily as I can, but not over the speed limit, not wanting to get pulled over by some officer of the law. I wouldn't want to leave a trail behind for Klaus or Klaus' hybrids to follow in pursuit of me.
I'm going to keep running until I lose them all and Klaus is either gone or dead. Once that happens, I'll be doubling back and turning around to go back to Mystic Falls. I think I'll earn my keep there once and for all. Whether I have to show them or not to prove it. After all, I am Katherine Pierce. What I want is what I get.
