After reaching and staying for multiple decades, Katherine grew bored of aimlessly killing and decided it was time to branch out a bit, give their lives some purpose.

'Stefan?' She said one day.

'Yes?' He said and as he tore his fangs out of a girls body. 'What.'

'I've decided to give our lives some purpose. I mean its 1950 and we haven't done anything! You know what I would like to do?' She began to explain.

'What?' Stefan asked beginning to get curious.

'I want to create a pack, like werewolves do. Except our pack will be vampires... and maybe a few others.'

'But why?' Asked Stefan curiously.

'You see, the original vampire, Klaus is after me and... I just want to make sure I have a chance against him. Plus, wouldn't it be fun to ruin some poor innocent peoples lives?' She explained.

'You've already sold the idea to me.' He replied wickedly.

The next morning they acquired a list of supernatural beings who would be able to aid them.

'A witch?' Stefan asked.

'Already got one. Threatened her sisters life if she didn't join. She did attempt to kill me, but failed. She the agreed to join and signed a SPECIAL contract requiring her to stay. I then proceed to kill her sister right before her eyes.'

'Just the Katherine I know.' Stefan coyly said. 'Werewolf?'

'One in particular. His name is Joshua and he's always been... fond of me, if you know what I mean. I suppose you wouldn't mind if I, convinced, him to come?' Katherine said while batting her eyelashes.

Stefan couldn't resist. 'Fine... but remember you owe me!' Stefan said giving in to her request. 'Vampires? Other than us of course.'

'Ahhh thats your job. I want you to find someone. Someone who won't mope and cry about taking human lives, but someone who finds it exhilarating and loves the power. Those are the kinds of people who will train to be strong and powerful. BUT... don't compel them into turning. They remember their compulsion once they turn and we won't be able to compel them. And we do want this one to be our ally.' Katherine said.

'I'm on it.'

Stefan headed out and went straight to the bar. He scanned the room. There were 5 people there. first one? Too mopey. Second? Too cocky. Third?

Drunk. Fourth? Beautiful... but stupid. The fifth. She was ideal. She wasn't sad and miserable, but not too cocky to get too excited. She seemed

educated from the book she was reading but had this aura that made her seem like she felt powerless. And as Stefan knew, its the ones who feel

powerless who adapt the best to having power. He slid over to her.

'Hey there.' He said. 'Read that book. Classic.'

'Really? I dunno I just started. I thought a new book would be good. I mean I needed something to distract me from my dads dictator-ness.' She said as she began to get heated up. 'Sorry, I shouldn't be telling you all this.' She added getting flustered.

Daddy issues? Even better.

'Its quite alright. Dad's bad? I've been there. Mine was abusive though.' Stefan said. Katherine tactic number 1- resonate with them. They will get

closer and be more willing.

'Oh my god. Im so sorry. I don't want to be a jerk, but if you don't mind me asking, what happened after that?' She replied.

'Oh I killed him.' Stefan bluntly replied. He knew he shouldn't have but he couldn't resist. She quickly began backing away, muttering a lame excuse under her breath. He ran after her.

'Don't be afraid.' He compelled her.

'I will not be afraid.' She blindly replied.

'How about we take this somewhere more private?' He suggested as he hurried behind the bar to the dumpsters. After he learnt about her life she eventually asked-

'But why? Why did you kill him? How... how are you not caught? Oh my god why am I ASKING A MURDER THIS!' she began saying, almost saying her thoughts out loud.

'You wanna know a secret? Im a vampire.' He said. At first she was in shock and attempted leaving and crying, the usual, but after coaxing her to

calm down... Stefan told his entire story to her.

'Can you do it?' She said.

'Do what?'

'The vampire face.' She said. So he did.

'W...Will you turn me?' She asked.

Stefan was very pleased. He'd succeeded, and now Violet here is willing to turn.

'Why though?' He asked.

'Because I'm sick of feeling helpless. And after you turned, you killed your father. I want to do the same.'

Murderous instinct? He had found the perfect girl.

'On one condition.' He said. 'You join Katherine and I's pack. We will teach you. In return you fight and stay loyal to us.'

'Done.'

'One thing... before I turn you, I am going to feed off of you.' Stefan said. He wasn't going to spend this much time with a human and not get a taste!

Before she could reply he tore into her neck and hungrily ate. He was a ripper and it took him everything her had not to kill her and stop. But he did it

, fed her his blood, and swiftly snapped her neck.
