The small kingdom of Iris was created over a thousand years ago by the Original family that consisted of-Rebekah, Klaus, and Elijah Mikaelson. They weren't exactly kings or a Queen, but they were joint rulers. The three of them wanted the same thing-a place, a city made specifically for vampires without humans.

Iris was located on a large island in the outskirts of Europe. It had been hidden by witches so that when humans saw it the magnificent island represented a small island with nothing on it, but dirt.

The city of Iris had prospered and it was filled with vampires-their own little city. The only problem was food. The vampires didn't want humans nor did they want to drink from blood bags. So every once in a while they grabbed a few humans, compelled them to forget everything, and they became their own personal blood bags.

Then in 1492 Klaus got a "great" idea and started bringing in young, human girls to Iris so that they could become slaves-both sexual and blood slaves for the vampires. The girls were normally expensive and if they wanted one they often had to make special favors to Klaus.

The human slaves that were bought often wore pearl chokers around their necks with a jewel that read the initials to the vampire that they belonged too.

As soon as Klaus introduced the idea, the trafficking of human slaves grew to enormous proportions.

"I don't want a slave for my birthday, Niklaus," Elijah Mikaelson told his younger brother firmly over breakfast the day before his actual birthday. "Just like I haven't wanted one for the past 200 years."

"I would have hoped that you have changed your mind," Klaus said impatiently as he looked lovingly to his own human slave, Tiffany that was waiting patiently by the doorway. "Young human slaves can be lovely. I bet I can find you a nice, obedient slave. It must be hard work satisfying your sexual needs from the maids."

Elijah flushed and glared at his brother.

"Boys!" Rebekah rolled her eyes at her two older brothers who were now glaring at each other. "Would it kill you not to fight during breakfast for just one day? Elijah, why don't you just let him get you a slave to shut him up?"

"Thank you sister."

"I don't want one," he said as he pushed the door open. "I rather as Nik so politely puts it satisfied my sexual needs from the maids. Excuse me, I'm going to get some real work done."

The both of them watched as Elijah left. When the door closed, Rebekah turned to face him. "You're still going to get him a slave for his birthday, right?"

"Oh, yes."

The wagon wheels and the sobbing dozen or so girls jolted Katherine Pierce awake. Not that she had gotten much sleep. Katherine was a beautiful seventeen year old girl with golden brown skin, curly dark hair, and fierce brown eyes. More importantly she was a human girl. A slave ready told be sold off at an auction for a worthy vampire.

Katherine was no fool, she had heard all about the group of missing girls that always seemed to disappear during a certain time of the year, and never came back. Katherine had put all the pieces together from gossip and little old witches that had heard the stories from their ancestors. She knew everything. About Iris. The Original vampires. The female human slave industries.

Which made her feel all the more stupid for practically allowing herself to be kidnapped.

She had been walking towards the local bakery when a vampire had knocked her from behind and taken her hostage. She had taken vervain tea earlier that day, but she knew that wouldn't last.

When she had woken up she had kicked and screamed so much that the vampire guards had just tied up her legs and arms and put a cloth over her mouth. There were only six other girls in the wagon, all of them covered with tears. Katherine wanted to smack them for being so weak.

The wagon stopped suddenly and one of the vampires named Trevor said gruffly. "Get out."

There was another array of squeals and sobs as they dragged the girls into a very pink room by their arms. There was a group of seven female vampires all frozen around the age of thirty physically. Katherine had heard of them too. They were the ones in charge of glamorizing the girls and making them pretty enough to attract a worthy customer.

"Come in," they cooed. "Don't be afraid, we're going to have so much fun together!"

Katherine narrowed her eyes as Trevor pulled off the cloth from her mouth. "Try anything funny and I will personally rip out your heart. Got that?"

Two hours later Katherine's curls were bouncy and glossy, her lips were painted a deep red, and she was dressed in a light gold dress that was basically see through. Despite her bravery at the beginning she did feel a bit uncomfortable.

"Next!" she heard a voice boom. "Honestly, where do you pick these girls up? The swamps? I'm looking for a classic beauty, this is my brother we're talking about, and he's not going to be interested in a second degree whore."

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Mikaelson, I'm sure we will be able to find someone for your brother. Next! Bring the next girl in."

Trevor pulled Katherine by the arm causing Katherine to shriek. "Let me go!"

Klaus looked at her interested. "She's has spunk, hold her down Trevor."

Trevor grasped her arms so tightly that Katherine bit back a whimper. Klaus looked at her interested. His hands touched her breasts giving them a small squeeze, he traced his finger around one of her nipples before giving it a hard pinch that made Katherine whimper.

Klaus smirked. "You are tamable, good and you're rather pretty. Yes, I'll will take you." He snapped his fingers and another vampire came back with a box. "Is she a virgin?"

"Yes."

"Good." Klaus opened the box and pulled out a pearl chocker with a red ruby hanging from it with the initials. E.M. a slave necklace. Klaus put the necklace around her neck, he closed it with a clasp. "Welcome to the family, love."
