You both wedded when he was human. So, when the Mikaelson family turned into vampires, you had, too. Although, after that night, you never saw your little sister, Tatia. You tried to find her, but years went by, and you gave up.

One day, Finn told you Elijah killed Tatia because of uncontrollable thirst the night they turned. That was the day you ran from him. He's searched for you ever since. You were travelling through Mystic Falls where they're residing. You ran into Rebekah at the Grill.
