In 1992, Joyce Steins fell in love with a mysterious man with more than his fair share of secrets. He never told her what he was; all Joyce knew was that he had a dark past and that when she became pregnant, he advised her to get an abortion, and then left a few days later, leaving Joyce alone to raise twin girls.

On her daughters' fifth birthday, they found their father's watch. Joyce soon learned that the watch had the ability to activate whatever powers her little girls had, and so she hid it, making sure that her daughters would not inherit their father's dark secrets.

And so, they remained a normal, happy family – until the Salvatores came to town. From day one, Alyssa Steins knew something was off about Stefan Salvatore. When she touched him, she received a surge of power unlike anything she ever felt before. She then decided that his secret was the key to discovering her own. She would find out what he was, by any means necessary.
