My name is Penelope Salvatore. I am 162 years old. I am a vampire. I grew up in this small town, Mystic Falls. I missed it so much that I decided to return. But it didn't end well for me.

Back when I was human, I fell in love with this guy, Charlie Lockwood. He was so sweet to me, that I didn't realize he was just using me. Just like my brothers, he was in love with Katherine Pierce. Blinded by her beauty, she used him just like my brothers. She never liked me. But one thing haunts me everyday. Why would she turn me if she hated me?

In 1910, I was in New Orleans. I met someone who actually cared for me, Kol Mikaelson. He was the sweetest guy, you could ask for. He treated me so well. Better than Charlie did. But in 1914, his older brother, Klaus daggered him. I hated Klaus from that day forward but eventually I got over it when Elijah, another older brother, undaggered him in 2012. I had heard the news that I rushed to Mystic Falls to see Kol. Also, I had missed Mystic Falls. But something happened and I hate Jeremy Gilbert for it. You see, Jeremy Gilbert is a vampire hunter. He set a trap for Kol so he could kill him. I witnessed his death and I mourned him more than his own siblings. I wanted to kill Jeremy but Katherine Pierce bet me to it.

Anyway, I left Mystic Falls and I travelled for about 3 years. Then I returned to mourn one of my brothers. Damon, my older brother, had died. He and his girlfriend's best friend died when the Other Side had collapsed. The Other Side is a supernatural purgatory. Any supernatural creature who had unfinished business was trapped over there. I think that Charlie and Kol were over there. I hoped Charlie was but not for Kol. I hoped that somehow he had found peace or got pulled out before the Other Side was destroyed.

4 months after the Other Side was destroyed, Damon, somehow, came back to life. He explained that he never died and neither did Bonnie. His girlfriend's best friend who we thought died too. He explained that her Grams had sent them to a prison world and he was trapped there for 3 months. He, also, mentioned that they weren't alone. Kai Parker was there too. That name was a name I thought I'd never hear again.

Kai, Malachai, Parker. Crazy, psychotic, a killer, but super hot. I met him in 1991, he was 19. I was an "orphan" when the Gemini Coven took me in. I instantly became best friends with Josette, Kai's twin sister. Kai didn't talk to me for a while but after about 2 months, we were home alone and he gave me a bunch of drawings and we talked for what seemed like hours. But when the family came home, he disappeared and I hid his drawings. He never spoke to me again after that, even if we were home alone. All he did was hide in his room. But at night, he would leave and slide drawings under my door. I shared a room with Josette. Happily, I would look at them and I would hid them with all the others.

May 10, 1994 was the worst day for the Gemini Coven. Kai snapped and he killed 4 of his siblings and went after the youngest ones. They were twins too, like Kai and Jo. He hurt Jo, but he didn't want to kill her. I tried to stop Kai, but he siphoned some of vampire magic then he snapped my neck. He didn't fully kill me and I know he cared about me because before he snapped my neck, he said "I'm sorry."

But when I woke, he was gone and so was the coven. I woke up in the middle of the forest. I mourned Kai because I thought he was killed by his family. So I left and lived in California, Colorado, and Florida until I returned to Mystic Falls in 2012.
