Introduction
My name is Katherine Pierce and I am a vampire. I was born in Bulgaria in a village in 1475. My family and I were poor, but we got along okay.357Please respect copyright.PENANAb6mxGm4NjU
In 1490, my family disowned me when I gave birth to a healthy, illegitimate daughter. I wanted to look at her and begged the maid to let me see her, but as my father stood at the doorway to the room, he said, "What do you think you're doing woman? Bring her here." Then he took her from the maid and I begged him 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. As I called, "Pa'pa! Pa'pa!" with tears in my eyes and running down my face, my mother tried to comfort me saying, "Katerina. Katerina."357Please respect copyright.PENANA5uPYZZhpMd
In 1492, I met Niklaus, Trevor, and Elijah. First I met Trevor, then Elijah, and then Niklaus. Trevor introduced me to Niklaus. Niklaus was a gentleman and I liked him, but then I found out his intentions and escaped him with help from Trevor.357Please respect copyright.PENANA8FDwiPhKn0
In 1864, when I arrived in America in Mystic Falls, I changed my name to Katherine Pierce, because I was born as Katerina Petrova. And I was staying one step ahead of the enemy. And when I arrived, I soon met the Salvatore brothers whom I fell in love with. But when the vampire raid came, I had to run again. So I faked my own death and left with the help of George Lockwood.357Please respect copyright.PENANAo6ZzLy8l7a
In 2009, I returned to Mystic Falls to get Stefan Salvatore back, but failed. He was already with my doppelganger, Elena Gilbert. I did terrible things to hurt everyone, which I now regret. I stopped doing those things when Klaus came to Mystic Falls. I had to keep a low profile so he wouldn't find and kill me.357Please respect copyright.PENANADPsPlXOFqB
In the present year in 2013, I have the cure for vampirism. I can use it for my freedom from Klaus by giving it to him. If Klaus has it, nobody will use it against him by turning him human. There's only one cure. A part of me wants to use it for my freedom from Klaus, while another part of me wants Elena to take it. Elena never should have become a vampire, which is what she is thanks to Rebekah killing her.357Please respect copyright.PENANAyWTN6eNyfS
This is my life that I have told you, because I may not live forever. So here, I share with, and give you my journal. I hope you'll do well to pass on my legend and memory.

Dear Journal,

My life as I know it is shattered. I wanted to see my baby girl, but Pa'pa told the maid not to let me see her. Then he walked away with her. He told me I had "disgraced this family." It feels as if pa'pa doesn't care, but ma'ma does. I have to be careful to not shed my tears in front of pa'pa. He may do well to punish me for crying, when it's my fault that she was illegitimate. Pa'pa doesn't understand. And every night, I hear ma'ma and pa'pa argue and fight over what is right. I know the type of child I had isn't welcome these days, but he didn't have to take her away.

I met Lord Trevor today outside my village. He's absolutely amazing. He's so kind to me. He's any woman's dream of a prince come true. He's funny, cute, and has all this energy. Oh, how I wish to know him more. And the best part is this. Ma'am, pa'pa, and Uncle Cornelius and the rest of my family don't know. Maybe, if I'm lucky, he'll marry me. A woman can dream, can't she? Even if it is a fairytale dream that may or may not come true.

Lord Trevor and his family are so much fun, even though they're rich. Lord Trevor even plays with me. We play things like chase, tag, and hide and go seek. His brother, Lord Elijah, even tells me stories about their family history. It's quite interesting, really. Even as a child, I have always adored history and reading.

I found out the truth. The Mikaelsons are real life vampires. They're Original vampires. Niklaus is a werewolf-vampire hybrid. How they can walk around in the daylight, I do not know. And their mother, Esther, is a witch. She turned their family into vampires with a spell and the blood of a doppelganger. They were in love with her, Klaus and Elijah. Klaus loved her the most. Her name was Tatia. Another thing I found out is that there's something called the Moon Curse. Klaus wants to break it tomorrow night when the moon is full and high in the sky. I am his doppelganger apparently, so I must run. When I'm away, I will return to my village.

I am a vampire now. I was running in the woods with Klaus and his brothers after me. Trevor found me and helped me escape to a cabin where an old woman and Rose live. Rose is a vampire. Rose wanted to take me to Klaus, so I cut my wrists so I would die. She gave me her blood to heal me. While she and Trevor were arguing, I saw a length of rope hanging from the ceiling. Desperate, I hung myself. When I woke up, I was in transition to become a vampire. Trevor asked me why I did it and said that he would've helped me escape. I told him that he would've helped me run and that would have never been enough. Rose tried to stake me, so I put the old woman between she and I. Rose staked the old woman, which killed her. Because the blood was too much, I fed from the woman's neck and apologized. Then I tossed the dead woman to Rose and fled.357Please respect copyright.PENANAqWL39jME3t
I'm heading back to my village, in hopes that Klaus will give up and Trevor will forgive me.

I arrived last night to horror. Klaus must've decided to get back at me. He slaughtered my entire village, including my family. He hasn't given up looking for me. I know it was Klaus, because he's the only one I know that would do such a thing. My father and maid were on the floor with their throats torn open, my uncle was on the wall with a sword through his chest, and my mother was on the bed with her throat torn open. I cried for what felt like hours, until I couldn't cry any longer. The despair and grief still lingers inside, though. I'm filled with anger and hatred, too. How could such a monster exist? I vow that during my time of being ahead of Klaus by running, I will find out how to kill him and I will kill him when I get the chance.

I dearly apologize for not writing for over a few centuries, but there were things that had to be done. I had to get in control. It took me a few centuries to be able to control the human blood, and to control my emotions and actions. Because I couldn't control that, I made messes and was banished from England. After I got in control, I saved Emily Bennett's life. She's a respectable witch, whom thought she was in my debt. So I told her that I wanted to walk in the daylight. She did what she could and forged a Lapis Lazuli bracelet. It's a type of jewelry that allows me to walk in the daylight. I call it a Daylight bracelet. After Emily did that for me, I made friends along the way; Pearl and her daughter, Annabelle. We call her Anna for short.357Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4qROuLoJ2
Pearl, Anna, and Emily are coming to Mystic Falls, Virginia with me. They are all I have. When I arrive by coach, my story will be that I'm an orphan after my parents died in a fire, and my relatives are unreachable. My name will be Katherine Pierce, in hopes that it will take Klaus a very long time to find me. I hope that I will be able to stay in Mystic Falls for a while, before I have to run again.

I arrived here in Mystic Falls this afternoon with my friends. I'm staying at the Salvatore boarding house on the Salvatore estate. I met Stefan Salvatore, Giuseppe's son. I have heard that he has two sons, so I'm not sure where the other one is. Stefan seems to be the younger one. And he's very kind, devoted, and generous. He's a lot like his father.

I know I am a vampire and Stefan's a human, but I'm in love with him. I don't know how this came to be. Maybe it's my girl hormones, or maybe it's the humanity part of vampirism. I don't know what it is. All I know is humanity is a vampire's greatest weakness. I, Katherine Pierce, formerly Katerina Petrova, am in love with Stefan Salvatore.

I met Stefan's brother, Damon Salvatore, this afternoon. I can tell that he's charmed by me, and I know that I am falling for Damon. Damon just came home on leave from fighting in the war on the south side. He wanted to see his brother and Stefan introduced us. Maybe I like men in uniform these days. I don't know. I hope that I don't have to choose between them, because I love them both. I don't want to lose either of them. Pearl, Anna, and Emily think I'm getting too close and I need to stop. Maybe I do, but I don't want to. In this century, I don't care what's right when it comes to love. Love is thicker than anything. It overcomes all things.

I told them both what I am, and I've been taking a little of blood from them, though I also give them a little of my blood in exchange. Damon is always willing and isn't afraid of me. He's very bold for a nineteen year old. I had to compel Stefan not to be afraid of me, though. Now he isn't afraid of me. And they love me as I love them.

The Founding families of Mystic Falls are getting closer to us each day. They even stocked up on vervain, and made a compass that'll locate vampires for them. We're going to be in grave danger. I can feel it from my senses I have as a vampire. Before long, I'll have to flee with my friends. If they don't catch us, that is.

I am fleeing from help of George Lockwood. I gave him the moonstone, in exchange for him helping me flee and fake my own death. The Salvatore brothers are dead, due to trying to rescue me. Their father shot them dead for trying to save me, and for dishonoring the family by doing so. In the end, love is something we will always die for.357Please respect copyright.PENANAoo86e0GUo3
I am alone in this carriage, because Pearl was taken away and I don't know where Anna has gone to. But sadly, Emily was a lose end, so I had to let them know that Emily is a witch. They will be burning her at the stake after the vampires are dealt with. So, once again, I'm on my own.

I have arrived back in Mystic Falls, after doing some traveling around the world. There's this girl that must be my family; my descendant. She and Stefan are together. I came back for Stefan, but now I have a new agenda. I'm going to get everyone's attention by centering everyone on Elena Gilbert. I've taken time to learn about her. She has a brother named Jeremy, an aunt named Jenna Sommers, two dead parents, and a few friends. Caroline and Bonnie are her best friends, Matt is her ex and friend, and Tyler is her friend and Vicki's boyfriend. Vicki is Matt's sister, but Jeremy has a crush on her.

I have learned that Stefan hates me and thinks that I compelled him to love me, but I never did. He has it all wrong, but I will never be able to let him see my side of it.357Please respect copyright.PENANAS6sUCJ1k7d
So far, I've seen Vicki transition into a vampire and attack Jeremy and bite Elena on the shoulder. And I saw Stefan kill her for being out of control. I've seen Damon be as Elena puts it, a monster. But she needs to get over it. Damon is just being himself and having fun. It's not like he's not covering it up. I've seen Anna arrive and she and Jeremy become friends. Not to mention, John Gilbert arrived wearing a Daylight ring. I even saw Alaric Saltzman arrive.357Please respect copyright.PENANAd7v7KisdkZ
Since I got bored just watching things, I decided to show my face and let myself be known to Elena and her circle of friends and family. I came to Stefan first and he called me a "manipulative, selfish bitch," which hurt my feelings. So I stabbed him in the side with a golf club. If someone pisses me off, that someone gets what he or she deserves. And I'm big on punishment and revenge.357Please respect copyright.PENANAPPR1nOc26X
When I decided to let myself be known to Elena, I pretended to be Elena until John and I were talking in the kitchen. Then I took a knife and cut his fingers off, before I stabbed him. Elena must not know about doppelgängers yet, because when I showed myself to her, she had to ask how we look exactly alike.

John set a plan in motion to kill all vampires, but didn't succeed. Elena, Alaric, Stefan, and Bonnie stopped him. John just can't see Elena's viewpoint. All he sees is what he was taught from an early age; to destroy all vampires.

Mason, Tyler's uncle, is in town. I'm using him for my own convenience. Damon knows I'm in town and is searching for reasons as to why I'm here. I put Caroline in transition after I killed her in her hospital bed in her hospital room. She and Tyler were in a car accident. Tyler is a Lockwood, so he'll turn someday. The Lockwoods have a family curse; the werewolf curse. If they kill anyone, they soon become werewolves on the next full moon. So, when John set his plan in motion and was using the compass he had made, it set off an alarm system. Something only supernatural beings can hear. And it's so intense, it gives us all migraines. Imagine being a Lockwood and driving when that alarm went off. It made Tyler crash his car. So that's what put Caroline in the hospital.357Please respect copyright.PENANA0vtlthzIMF
Sheriff Liz Forbes, Caroline's mother, tried to capture the Salvatores after Mason told her what they are. It didn't work. It ended in her shooting Jeremy on accident and Bonnie doing a spell to bring him back to life. And it worked.357Please respect copyright.PENANAyTZ4FL5zkJ
Mason got me the moonstone, but Damon found out that he was a spy for me. So Damon killed my werewolf ally. That kind of upsets me, but I would've killed him after a while, anyway.

Elijah, Trevor, and Rose are in Mystic Falls. 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 came to Elena's rescue and took her home after staking Elijah. Obviously, that only killed him temporarily.

There are a lot of things that have happened since I last wrote here. Klaus came to town, John sacrificed himself so that Elena won't turn into a vampire, since Damon fed her his blood before Klaus took her from under their noses, Elena's Aunt Jenna and a werewolf named Jules were sacrificed in the ritual, Elijah was daggered by Alaric, Elena undaggered Elijah, Damon killed Luka whom was a male witch but we like to call them warlocks, Klaus completed the ritual and phased, I was locked in the tomb but brought out, Tyler completed his first transformation into a werewolf, and Caroline became a vampire.

I have just left town to save my own ass from being crushed by Klaus, after we unsuccessfully tried to kill Klaus. Mikael is dead now, Rebekah is daggered, Stefan is released from Klaus' compulsion, Damon is in love with Elena, Tyler is no longer sired to Klaus, and Tyler and Caroline are a couple. In the meantime, I have hybrids after me that Klaus sent to chase me down; a few of them. Thirteen stayed behind.

I have the cure for vampirism. I'm heading back to Mystic Falls in search of Klaus. I'm going to use it to win my freedom back. Get Klaus off my ass after five hundred years of running from him. I killed Jeremy to get it. Silas had to have human blood and be awakened to get it. I apologize for doing that to him, but I needed it. Oh, and Elena is a vampire in love with Damon. Damon and Elena are a couple and Elena is sired to Damon. That's all I've learned so far, excluding Rebekah being alive. I'm not sure who undaggered her, but I also heard that Kol was causing trouble and is dead now. Elena and Jeremy killed him.
