Judas *Being Rewritten Again*

𝕻𝖗𝖔𝖑𝖔𝖌𝖚𝖊

I was 15 when I first learned of soulmates,

The concept in itself used to both terrify and delight me,

I had been involved in the supernatural since I was 6, but for some reason the idea of belonging solely to someone or someone(s) made my heart sink.

Grams told me that I had no reason to be afraid, that soulmates were a good thing,

They were put in place by nature to keep balance within the things that went bump in the night,

"What's it like?" I asked my grams and she smiled, 

this was the night she had given me my fist book on soulmates,

"It's a connection, an immediate connection between you and a person you just met. A connection so strong that you are drawn in a way you have never experienced before, and as this connection develops overtime...you experience a love so deep, strong, and complex, that you begin to doubt whether or not you truly loved prior to that," she explained and I nodded,

 "What was it like when you first met Pap?" I queried and she paused as she poured herself a drink, 

"I thought you didn't believe in this," she retorted and I shrugged my shoulders, 

"I just need to know incase I ever get the pleasure of meeting my quote on quote soulmate," I declared watching as she shook her head her shoulders shaking in laughter. 

"There was a yearning, a warmth, a need to be closer to him, and I felt...safe...like I had known him forever, like I was home...Of course at first I was confused as to why I suddenly felt weak in the knees after looking at a man I had hardly knew, but I learned that the emotion was...," she told me and I listened intently, 

"what was it?" I asked and she smiled, 

"It was love baby," she replied making a small smile bloom on my face before looking down at the book in my hands. 

"do...do you think I have one...a soulmate," I stuttered and I heard grams sit her cup down on the kitchen Island before I felt her hands on my arms making me look up at her,

 "I know you have one...and I need you to promise me that when you find them, you tell them. Even if you're scared that it's not the right thing. Even if you're scared that it'll cause problems. Even if you're scared that it will burn your life to the ground, you say it, and you say it loud and you go from there," she told me and I nodded my head,

 "I Promise..."

That was the only promise to my Grams I didn't take seriously at first,

I didn't want a soulmate, I didn't think I would be any good as one, which is why when my great aunt offered me to go stay with her in the wetlands of Forks Washington, I jumped at it,

It was there that I met a girl a few years younger than me, named Ambrosia.

We became friends rather quickly despite the age gap, she was mature for her age, almost too mature if you ask me,

And in the couple years I had stayed there, we had been through so much together, she would only really go to see her mother every other month as she hated leaving her father,

So it was easy for us to get into trouble until...the crash.

I was driving us home from the reservation, we were singing and joking around,

I turned my eyes to her for a second to look at one of her drawings and then there were headlights in front of us,

Charlie, Ambrosia's Father said that the other driver had fallen asleep behind the wheel,

I don't remember much about it, just me swerving the car, my hand reaching out for Amber, putting a protection spell on her as we flipped through the air, the glass shattering.

I could only smell blood as we both fought to stay conscious, it was the scariest moment of my life,

I realized all of the time I had wasted, the things I hadn't done yet as my eyes fell shut,

All of my life flashing before my eyes, I thought I was going to die, that we were going to die then I had a dream.

I gasped as I shot up, my hand flying to my chest as I looked around,

"It's not your time yet," I heard and I snapped my head in the direction of the voice,

I couldn't see his features, he was hiding from me almost like he was scared of my reaction to him,

"What?" I questioned tilting my head.

"I said it's not your time yet my love, we still have yet to meet one another," he replied and I felt my heart speed up at his words,

He was one of my soulmates, but how?

"I don't understand," I told him and I heard him chuckle,

"You don't need to understand yet my love, but you do have to wake up, you don't belong here," he said softly and I furrowed my brows feeling something inside me snap into place,

"Wait!" I called as I felt myself fade, "what's your name?" I asked earning me a soft chuckle,

"Finn, my love, My name is Finn,"

I awoke right after that, tears in my eyes as I looked at my Grams and Bonnie, both of them hugging me as I hugged them tightly,

It was right then and there I decided I wouldn't hide from myself, from my soulmates, my magic,

I would learn and I would grow so I could protect them and myself when I found them.

And that's just what I did,

I worked hard to perfect my magic, I wanted to find them, I wanted to protect them and the people I cared for,

I didn't stop until I felt like I was ready, by then more years had passed,

My grams had passed for Elena Gilbert of all people,

Caroline had become a vampire and I made the decision to come home,

My sisters needed me, I needed to protect them.

However I didn't realize the people I had been waiting for would be coming straight to me..
