England, 1492

Nowhere to go. Nowhere to be. No one to be with. Lost. Katerina finds herself in the middle of the woods, no idea what to do next. She just found her family slaughtered by the man who tried to sacrifice her for his own selfish gain. She can't stop the crying, nor the pain. Her emotions have been heightened, because she just became a vampire and has no one to share her sorrows with. The only thing stronger than her sadness is her hunger. She keeps walking through the dark woods until she finally finds a little village. She approaches one simple house and knocks on the door.

"Help. Please!" - She screamed.

A man opens the door and before he could even ask anything she attacks him and kills him instantly. Along with his family.

"Impressive. I see you're having fun." – Rebekah says as she walks through.

"Rebekah" – Katerina utters very frightened.

"Don't worry, I have no interest in my brother's little vendetta."

"So… why are you here?"

"I got bored. And curious."

"How did you find me?!"

"Did you really think it would be that easy for you to leave the mansion without getting caught? I gave you a way out of that house."

"Wait… What? Why?"

"My brother is enough of a bastard as a vampire. If he succeeds in breaking that bloody curse, he'd become even more obnoxious. Consider this my vengeance for keeping me daggered in a coffin all those years."

"He'll never forgive you. He's going to hunt you down for eternity."

"I'd be more concerned about you. If Nicklaus finds you he'll tear you to shreds. Luckily for you I have no interest in letting that traitor get anything he wants. That being said you're safe with me."

"Okay, so... what do you suggest we do now, then?"

"First of all, find a nicer place to live than this piece of garbage."

"And then what?"

"Then, I'll teach you how to live as a vampire!"

"Will I be this hungry all the time?" – Katerina asked arrogantly.

"Gets better. In fact why don't I teach you how to make it go away… vampire style."

Rebekah smiles to Katerina, who is a bit confused but seems to like what the blonde vampire is saying. The both leave the house full of dead bodies and walk to the center of the village. Rebekah approaches a group of villagers and asks Katerina:

"Will you start… or shall I?"

Katerina's eyes become red and the villagers start to scream in fear and pain, as they get attacked by the two vampires, who kill everyone present.

Katerina looks at Rebekah with a smirk on her face and as she becomes this new person, the pain starts to go away.

"Now that we're refreshed how about you and I go find a place to stay, I have no intention in living in the streets" – Katerina says.

"Wait, there is one thing you need to do first." – Rebekah replies

"What?"

"Your name. Klaus is smart. He will keep tailing the name Katerina Petrova."

"So, I must leave it behind. How about… Katherine Pierce?"

"Perfect!" – Rebekah tells as she starts to smile.

And just like that, Katherine Pierce was born.
