Brutal - THE VAMPIRE DIARIES

INTRODUCTION

"THEY HATE EACH OTHER."

"NO THEY DON'T. NOT REALLY."

          LIFE HAD BEEN BRUTAL TO JUDITH GILBERT. She sometimes blamed herself for this, as when she thought in detail of what happened leading up to these pivotal events in her life, she thought of the things she could have very easily done differently. Foolishly befriending Katherine Pierce was the first things she'd change. Her father had encouraged her to be kind to the poor orphan girl the Salvatore family were opening their home to, and in doing so, she lost everything. She became the monster her father would tell her stories about, through no choice of her own, and had to watch as the two boys she grew up with were manipulated into versions of themselves she barely recognized. 

          SHE LOST HER FAMILY. Upon the discovery Judith had been made into the creature Jonathan Gilbert hated the most, she was treated no different to the rest that were rounded up that fateful night, and Judith spent the first part of her undead life trapped within the tomb beneath Fells church. Freedom came over a century later, rescued by faces she least expected, and given a crash course on how to adapt to the modern day. Living with the two boys she was having to get to know all over again, and meeting the descendants of her family line, one of which holding the face of the woman she grew to despise. 

          NOTHING WAS EVER SIMPLE. Coming out of the tomb, Judith was barely given a moment to breath before she was swept up into the drama of the world she was apart of. Helping to protect the family she was growing to care for, the threat of a sacrifice looming over their heads, she was thrown in the deep end of her immortal life. And as if it wasn't already enough to deal with, matters of the heart were growing hard to ignore, tugging her in two different directions with no idea which way to go. 

          LIFE HAD BEEN BRUTAL TO JUDITH GILBERT. And she was about to learn just much more brutal it could get before she snapped.

"IT'S BEEN TOO LONG."

"HAS IT? BECAUSE IT FEELS LIKE NOTHING HAS CHANGED."

Thank you so much again, I love it!

Decided to take a break from my Elijah stories for a little while, and in doing so I've came up with Judith's story. A Klaus and Damon story, as I decided I couldn't decide who I wanted to write a story for, so we're going to see what happens as we go. I'm excited for it and the ideas I've got for Judith so far. 

I hope you all enjoy!
