TAMED HEART ( The Vampire Diaries)

Emma pov.

Hello everyone, my name is Emma James, I am 17 years old and I live in New York. My parents are very famous and influential people, everyone has heard of them. We are very rich.

I go to a private school where I am of course the most popular girl. I don't have a boyfriend, maybe a little weird ha. Since all the guys would love to be with me, sometimes I feel sorry for those girls when they have to watch their guys drool after me. I'm kidding, no one is sorry because no one is sorry for me either. You are probably wondering why someone would feel sorry for me. Well, I lead a perfect life, at least that's what everyone thinks. My life isn't perfect, it's not even like fairy tales or those lives you watch in series and movies. Behind all that perfection lies the harsh truth.

My family is actually falling apart. My father, if I can call him that , actually drinks a lot. He cheats on my mother too. He drags himself around brothels with some whores who are even younger than me. I can often hear my poor mother crying and screaming at night because he is beating her. Our company is on the verge of bankruptcy, and that is what brought him to this state. Instead of resolving it reasonably, he found solace in drinking. I'm sick of watching him, I can't bear to come home and see my mother with new bruises. I want to leave this house and never come back.

I also want to take my mother with me, but it's not easy. You see she is actually obsessed with my father. Despite everything he does to her, she still loves him and does not want to leave him. If it weren't for her and my grandfather, we would never have become what we are now. My grandfather is actually the only person I trust and who understands me, I can tell him everything. As a child, I often went to him to tell me stories. He is somehow obsessed with supernatural things such as vampires, werewolves and witches. Crazy isn't it. He even gave me a book for my 15th birthday about supernatural beings and how to kill them.

But let's get back to my family.You've probably heard of how fame can change a person.Well, that's the whole truth. I am the real proof of that. I used to be a quiet girl that no one noticed. That is, they noticed my weight, I was very fat and everyone was kidding me about it. They kept calling me a fat pig and a nerd. But now I have popularity, fame, respect, everything I could only dream of once. And now all those people who used to laugh at me want to be like me and hang out with me.But I don't pay attention to them. Now I am no longer that little withdrawn girl, now I am more of a heartless bitch or as they call me in school the ice queen.

But I actually like it. I want to be insensitive because it's better that way than for someone to play with my feelings and use them against me. As you can see, I don't plan to fall in love. I also don't have many friends, although everyone wants to hang out with me. Whenever I watch movies I admire how someone can trust you so much and tell them everything about your life. I could not keep it all to myself better than telling someone and then that person manipulating me. It's better for me to be a cold-blooded bitch that no one can talk to, than for someone to take advantage of me.

A/NThis was the introductory chapter of my first story The Taming Heart. I know it's short but this is just an introduction. I plan to publish the first part today or tomorrow, which will be much longer. I honestly still don't know whose exactly this will be a fanfact. At first I thought it would be Klaus but I love Claroline too much and I don't want to spoil it. But there will certainly be chemistry between Klaus and Emma. I'll see who the emma will end up with depending on how the story goes. Write me your opinion on who you would like to see Emma with at the end.
