"I'm sorry Lady Katherine, but I'm afraid we just can't afford to take you in at the moment. I really do hope you will understand." Giuseppe Salvatore said to Katherine, "But I wish you luck in finding a place to stay.
Mildly distressed, Katherine looked deep in his eyes, hoping she had enough power - it had been days since her last feeding. "Please Mr. Salvatore. Won't you think again?"
Momentarily flustered, Giuseppe squeezed hard on the vervain in his hand. It had worked. He had resisted the mind control. Without a moment's hesitation, he took the wooden dagger from his belt,and plunged it deep into her heart.

"Rachel, get back inside!" Rosalyn shouted out at her 4 year-old daughter as she ran across the Salvatore estate to congratulate Uncle Damon on his new marriage.
"Oh let her go! She hasn't seen Damon in a year! Nor have I." Stefan Salvatore said to his wife, Rosalyn, as he lay a gentle kiss upon her cheek. "Let's go welcome him and Emily." Emily- Damon's new beloved. Damon had described her as almost magical. Though of course, magic didn't exist.

"I know mom! I shouldn't have skipped out on family night. I won't do it again." Elena Gilbert said to her mom as they drove home.
"You're right, you won't; because you're grounded." And there it was. Elena's mother rarely grounded her, but when she did, Elena always found a way out of it.
"But Mom-"
"No, Elena, not this time."
"Dad!" Elena said, now turning to her father.
"Sorry sweetheart, but your mother's right." Of course. "You didn't come last time either. Aunt Jenna hardly ever sees you anymore."
"But Dad, I had to go see Matt and my friends!"
"Elena, I'm sorr-" But that was all he could say before the car flipped of of Wickery Bridge into the water.
And in this world, there is no Stefan to save Elena; because Stefan stayed human; and humans don't live forever.
