Chapter 1: Story Time

"Hello, Elena."
Rebekah's voice murmured in an ungrateful tone. She sat by the edge of the tomb door on the floor. She was trapped, and could not escape without the help of a witch.

"Who the hell is Katherine Pierce, and why does she look like me, dammit!"
Elena Gilbert asked the Original vampire, Rebekah Mikaelson. Her snobby attitude angered the older vampire.

"You're her Doppelgänger, stupid." Rebekah began, "You may have been born in the 18 hundreds, but she was born long before my brothers and I. She's.. How do I say this? She's very fragile in the stage her body is in at the moment." Rebekah answered.

"Tell me everything about her, and I'll get you out of this horrid tomb."
Elena offered the blonde girl who happens to be dying of thirst for blood.

THE STORY OF KATHERINE PIERCE:

200 B.C., Bulgaria.

Katerina Petrova - AKA Katherine Pierce - was born on February 10th, 200 B.C., her mother was a witch, Qestiyah - AKA Tessa Pierce - Petrova. Her birth father was an Angel, an Angel of the Lord. His name is Balthazar. - When Katherine was born, she was weak and fragile. She had heart and breathing problems. She wasn't going to make it through the delivery. Her mother anxiously prayed for someone with enough power to save her baby. Even though Qestiyah is an extremely powerful witch, she didn't have the amount of magical energy it would take to save her.

Just as she mother began to lose all hope for her daughter's life, a man with handsome features walked up towards her. He placed his hand gently over Katerina's heart. The rate became calm, she breathed evenly once more, her mother's eyes widened in shock. She had done everything possible to do one of those things, but nothing worked, as a tear slid down her cheek, she looked up at the man, he was smiling at her, his eyes, a deep shade of black, stared right at her soul.

"Would you like to... Make a deal?" The man asked, a curious look appeared on Tessa's face. "What do mean... A deal?" She asked, in between huffs from her tears. "You know, I scratch your back, you scratch mine. An eye for an eye.. Basically, I save your daughter, she grows to be my special child, but I will not stop you from showing her the things you believe in, and you may raise her to be the person you've wanted her to be, or would you rather her heart to be stopped this minute?" He pulled his hand away from Katherine and in the second, her mother could hear her heart stop. "I'll do it! Just please, please don't let her die. I beg of you! Please!" Tessa cried out in the small cabin she has lived in for quite a few years now.

The mystery man leaned into Tessa, he slowly closed his eyes as he sealed their deal with a kiss. When their lips departed, Katherine bursted into tears. Her eyes widened as tears poured out. They shifted a light blue, then into a rainbow-like color, then a deep red, and then a short black and white color.

Tessa knew her child had a demonic aura, but she was too happy her daughter was alive to even realize it.

As the years would pass, Katherine would grow stronger, and more womanly. When Katherine first began to go through puberty, all women envied her and all men wanted her. Though, she had eyes for no one. - She is a Succubus, Werewolf, Vampire, Witch, Demon and Angel. Basically the ultimate Hybrid. - Her Succubus instincts began to kick in when her body began to change. Her eyes were half of the time always blue, when she was born with a hazel color. She would never talk to the men, but she had many female friends. One of which is the famous Rebekah Mikaelson. One of the Originals, some say. - Katherine has a necklace her mother had given her before she died. The necklace had a curse placed upon it, the curse is 'Whomever she is near, whatever generation she is within, she may have another to see and be a part of. If she is to die within one generation, she will be reborn, not from a normal human woman, but from the Angel from which she came many years ago. She will have no memory of her past lives, unless she dies in a Supernatural way, or her younger brother Jeremy is murdered by the hand of a Doppelgänger, otherwise, she may never remember herself.' - Lucifer was the man who made the deal with Katherine's mother, Tessa.

Katherine traveled the whole world, she wished to see everything. She wished to have knowledge, which she did. But that never stopped her from learning more.

One late evening, when Katherine was making her way home, Niklaus - her cousin - stopped her, he looked like he needed help, and he knew Katherine always helped anybody in need. Seeings how she has no idea who her younger cousin is, she thought he was just a young man who needed some assistance. She offered to help him, as he tried his best to trick her into joining him to his cabin where he needed the help she was offering. When they arrived to his home, Niklaus quickly covered her mouth, and began to hold her down as his older brother Elijah had a knife in his hand, Katherine knew what was next, she had heard of many women who have been sacrificed to some based God a small tribe would believe in. But this was different than the stories she heard, when he cut her cheek, veins appeared under their eyes, blood red their eyes turned. When they opened their mouth to speak, their teeth had suddenly changed. They went from normal to razor sharp.

After Niklaus and Elijah's small chat, Katherine somehow got out of the rope Niklaus tied her up in. She ran out the front door and refused to look back even if they were inches away from her, she would continue running. She looked back and they ran very fast for men. But Katherine soon believed they weren't human. She saw them as something evil. And she was terrified.

Running in a corset, out of breath, but still going fast, she seen a small home on the side of the road, she figured Niklaus probably had already checked there, so she knocked on the door, hoping for someone to answer.

"Please! Please! I need your help! There's these men, they're trying to kill me!" She begged outside in the cold, thin air. A woman by the name of Rose answered the door, she had tan skin, the same shade of Katherine's. She yanked Katherine's arm and demanded she tell her what she is doing running from them, causing Rose to be in deeper trouble with the Mikaelson's than ever before.

"Katerina! Why are you getting me involved in such games that will get me in very bad consequences?" Rose asked, her voice thin and bitter.

"He came up to me on the street, begging me to help him, he said his brother is injured, so I rushed to help the man, but when I arrived at their home, no one was hurt, except for me." Katherine answered, looking down in shame of her own stupidity.

Rose ignored her sulking and began gathering her things. "I'm taking you to Niklaus so maybe I can be forgiven for allowing you to even come into my home." Rose warned Katherine. Katherine's heart began to race faster, she looked around for something, anything to help her in this situation. She looked beside her, a knife layed on the bed Rose had her sit on. Katherine quickly grabbed the knife and stabbed her lower abdomen, knowing she would be killing herself, but still satisfied that she will not be a part of something very evil. And Katherine was raised to not be mean or do bad things. So, she did what she did. Rose's face turned the same way Niklaus' and Elijah's did when they cut her face, Katherine quickly realized Rose was one of them, Rose asked her where that wound came from. "It's much too late to take me to Niklaus now." Katherine murmured. "Not if I have anything to do with it." Rose answered, biting her wrist and almost feeding Katherine her blood until a man rushed in.

Katherine's lover, Jensen. He begged Rose to let Katherine run away with him. "We're already on the death penalty, you wanker!" Her British accent came out loud and clear. "He'll kill her!" He cried. "If I hand her over now, it may be possible for me to be forgiven by Niklaus!" Rose pushed Jensen up against the wall, Katherine seen it all, and the minute Rose was completely distracted by Jensen, she took those few moments she had with the rope in her hand and killed herself.

"Wait, she killed herself?"
Elena interrupted Rebekah's story, her eyebrows rose in curiosity.

"Better she die than breaking Niklaus' stupid curse, she believed that was smartest thing to do, so she hung herself."
Rebekah answered, waiting for Elena to be ready for her to finish the story.

"Okay, is there more to it?"
Elena asked.

"There's always more to it, idiot."
Rebekah answered, insulting the stupidest Doppelgänger she has ever met.
"When Katherine was born into the adoptive family in the generation she hung herself in, her younger brother Jeremy was in a completely different family, in a different country to be exact. He had children, which is how you're her Doppelgänger. The bloodline of the Petrova's have and never will end as long as Katherine is under that curse her mother placed on her before her death."
Rebekah finished the story of Katherine. Elena is shocked that someone could go through such things. But she smiles at the fact Katherine can die if she doesn't have her memories, which she doesn't at the moment, so she is very excited to see her ancestor once again.
