Well...it's kind of a long story, but before you got here, things were bad. We were actually in a war with Lucifer, and well...we won, but there were repercussions. Some people, including her husband Sam, and Rebekah fell into a cage with hem and were sealed in Hell with them. It was no more than a week or so for us, but it was a total of 50 years for them. 50 years of being tortured by the devil, everyone came out well...damaged.
We had Lexi work with Rebekah to turn her humanity back on, but others weren't so lucky. This Sam Winchester used to be a vampire hunter, and he's walking around without his soul.
Well...I was on my way home from work one night and he jumped me. Jammed me with enough vervain to bring me down and out. He tied me up with vervain ropes and left me on my porch to meet the sun. I would have died if Kol hadn't come over to see me.
Until he gets his soul back, hell until he's found, be careful. That woman used to be friends with a version of you here, but I don't know how much that will help you.
