" Interview With Katherine Pierce"

Everyone says "You shouldn't Judge a book by its cover" but you do it anyway. We all have our faults, regrets and secrets. You all know me as a cold hearted bitch, who screws everyone over. Its all just judgment. yes I may be those things and then some, but have you ever stopped to think about what and why I am the way I am? I have a heart, well when I want to anyway. I simply choose not to let my humanity get the best of me. I don't let anything or anyone get in my way... I didn't and don't let "love get in the way. You know "What I am and what I've done, but you don't know who I am. Let me tell you my story...

My birth name is Katerina Rainia Petrova. I was born in a small village in Bulgaria, I grew up on a farm with four sisters and three brothers. I was fourth born in my family, I was very close with them... I loved them. I still hold on to mermories of them. Like how my sisters and I would run around in the forest being chased by my brothers, or how my father would teach my brothers how to hunt... and my mother the way she'd sing me a lullaby before I went to sleep. Memories of them are all I have left.

When i was 16 i guess you could say i was boy crazy, name one girl that isn't at that age. I had a huge crush on the dark brown haired boy gorgeous blue eyes... I couldn't help myself... I was a bit of a wild child back then... *smirks* one thing led to another... and well "CONGRATS ITS A GIRL" *rolls eyes* I had a child out of wedlock in 1492, I was 16 "Big Shame". Now a days you get pregnant at that age and you get your own reality show. My father was furious, but what could he do it was too late. I gave birth to a baby girl that year, I never got a chance to hold her. My baby was given away to be raised by another family (adoption). My family and I were the only ones who knew about it. For whatever reason my parents wanted everything to be kept a secret, never knew exactly why, I just thought it was cause I shamed them... never occurred to me it was cause another reason...

Because I shamed my family, I was asked to leave home...so I did. I left for England, it didn't take long for me to begin fresh and leave the memories of my home behind. An old lady took pity on me and took me in,gave me a place to stay, food, and clothing. A few months later, the talk of the town I lived in was of a ball for a man named Nicklaus... Lord Nicklaus. I was invited didn't exactly know why, I was new in town ... had only been there for a few months, caught me completely off guard. But I was excited to attend. It was there at the ball I met Klaus, he seemed quite taken with me at first, weeks passed I got to know him...a bit. Not very well, He wasn't around much. Always doing something, never knew what. I spent more time with his brother Elijah, got to know him very well. I think I fell for him... at the time I wished I had his attention instead. He was sweet.

after two months of not knowing much about Klaus or what he was up to, on a dark, cold, stormy night I over heard him talking about witches, a spell and that I was to be sacrificed. I even saw him suck dry one of the servants. Thats when I saw what he really was. I was in absolute shock, I couldn't Believe what I saw... I didn't know if I should run, scream, or confront him... I just stood there for a few minutes try to process quickly what I just saw, then scurried back up to my room...

I completely panicked, I talked to myself for over 3 hours still in shock and trying to think of an explanation for what I had seen and heard. All of the sudden I heard voices outside my bedroom door, it was a guy names Trevor... one klaus's errand boys... he knocked on my door and said Klaus wanted to see me, I told him I'd be right out... total lie. tried to escape, i tied some bed sheets together and escaped out my window. as soon as i was down someone saw me and alerted guards. They chased me down and caught me, locked me in a room ... no escape I felt hopeless. Klaus came to see me, explained to me what he and a few others with him were, but mentioned that he was more special/Powerful than they are cause he was a hybrid. He also explained to me why he wanted me...what he was going to do... after he was done and is was all alone, I felt numb. I didn't know what to feel, it was all too much to swallow.
