I never knew my mother growing up. There was a women that I know was my mother but she died when I was young. As to what happened to my actual mother, I never knew. I wasn't sure if I wanted to know. She had abandoned me. I am Mikaela Salvatore

Though, all of that was several lifetimes ago. I had lived longer than the average person, because I was no longer a person. I was a vampire. I had been ever since 1864, which was also the year that brothers were turned and my father died. It all started when a woman named Katherine Pierce came to town. I had never been attracted to a woman before her and I hadn't been with a woman since. I knew that her compulsion was involved, but it the attraction was real. I'm not a lesbian because I do like guys.

Stefan and I had recently returned home. We didn't plan on staying long, but we came back every once in a while to check on family ever since we reunited in the 50s. I was at home and Stefan had gone out hunting. I couldn't believe that he had been able to stick to animal blood for so long. At first, I loved the kill, but eventually I learned how to sustain myself without killing people.

When Stefan came back, he was soaking wet, but it wasn't raining outside.

"Is there any particular reason why you're wet?" I asked.

"Wickery Bridge collapsed." He answered. A car went into the lake and I dove in to help.

"How many people were there?" I questioned.

"A man, woman and their teenage daughter." He explained. "I was about to get the girl out, but I couldn't save her parents. Her father actually told me to save her first."

"So why didn't you bring the girl back here?" I questioned. "I could have given her some dry clothes and healed her of any injuries before compelling her to go home."

"I panicked." He remarked. "The girl wasn't just anyone. She looked like Katherine."

So I didn't want to start with the pilot because I wanted opinions on something. I'm undecided whether or not I want her with to be with Elena or Jeremy. What are you thoughts? Anyway, Mikaela (obviously named after Mikael) is played by Meaghan Martin. I know it doesn't match up perfectly because probably would have been able in 1848, but just go with it. Please don't forget to review.
