"I thought you said he was a demon?" I asked quietly. Damon rolled his eyes annoyed at my interruption before calming.
"Fine demon," he replied. "Now shh!"
"Okay, okay," I said apologetically. "Please continue great storyteller."

Vampires are not as old as the legends would leave you to believe. We came into being only about 2000 years ago and even then we were incredibly primitive. Vampires had a harsh time adapting to the world around them due to the fact we did not fully exist in this world. It was difficult to find witches who would make the daylight rings and it was difficult to feed without arousing suspicion.
Fortunately for the vampire lineage, demons already roamed the earth looking like humans. Their numbers were dwindling but they had learned to blend. Females were having difficulty having children but it was considered against the laws of nature to attempt procreation with a mortal. Countless men and women had died from the amorous actions of the demons. It was with that knowledge many realized their days were numbered.
Although the numbers fell decade after decade there was hope one of the remaining women would produce an heir. Little did they know an heir had been conceived in the nick of time.
A demon whose name has been lost through time fell in love with a mortal woman. It was a time of great danger to young women after dark. Tales of demons breached all the homes but many could not avoid the night. On her way home one night the mother of vampires was attacked by a group of common men.
The demon heard her cries and moved to investigate. Demons rarely chose to confront conflict due to fear of being discovered. As he turned to leave the place the men attacked he saw her face. Legend speaks of her beauty and purity as she tried to fight the men who had claimed her.
In a fit of rage the demon reacted. Never before had he seen such purity and innocence in the world around him. In that moment he destroyed the men and took the woman for his own. He secreted her away from the world priding himself on keeping her innocent and pure. No man would touch her nor would any unhappiness fall to her.
The years were kind to the woman as she grew from barely out of girlhood to maiden. She grew to care for her captor and she remained loyal to him regardless of his own inner problems. She calmed him as no demon had before and he found himself grateful to the woman.
As the years continued she found herself longing for a child to share the loneliness. The demon unable to say no agreed to try and love her in the way she wished. Through utter care he was able to take her innocence and deliver her a night of passion. Surprised by his luck he became obsessed in discovering why she alone survived a demon's love.
She cared little about the discovery but had in turn discovered her love for the demon. In their mutual love she did conceive a child. Upon the birth the child was discovered to be different from other children. Half-human and half-demon had bred a child unlike either side of the equation. The child appeared human and could eat and drink like any mortal child. He grew to adulthood and stopped aging.
His mother passed away on his twenty-fifth birthday causing his demon father to abandon all signs of life. His father ended his life soon after unable to offer his son anything after the death of his woman. With no one to guide him the son succumbed to blood lust, satiating himself on any human he could find. The ripper tales come from this time and soon the dark ages began to rage through the world.
Nearly a century later the vampire brushed himself off and left the ripper behind him. He owed it to a woman he'd fallen in love with. A witch who left her family upon discovery of the vampire spent the next forty years trying to help him understand how vampires could produce children. He desired an heir like himself but the demons had long since died out.
She died on the advent of her ultimate gift. In her last days a circle had been cast to perform a spell which would give the vampire the one thing he wanted most. As the vampire drank the blood of his beloved her magic flowed within him to give him the ability to give magic to each vampire he made.
The final words on the matter were told to him as they buried his witch. At some point in the future the magic within all vampires would find a woman in which to sire children. A woman of purity found like his mother had been would be able to bear children. At that time the line would be invested in the one who controlled the child. The ability to procreate would determine the future of vampires.
The vampire in question disappeared after a decade but more and more vampires began to appear across the globe. Clearly he had continued his quest to make more of his kind but later vampires knew nothing of the original. It has been said once he created a vampire, he killed himself in grief from his lost witch.
After centuries of vampires enjoying life, wreaking havoc, and finding love no heir was born. The vampires have long since given up hope on finding a way to have their own children and turn the tide of politics within their society. The spell became legend and legend became a joke.

"And you think I'm the girl in question?" I asked quietly.
"I think Klaus thinks you are," he replied softly.
"And you?" I asked.
"I always wanted a child," he whispered. "A man can dream..."
