The Loving Gilbert - Damon Salvatore

Prologue

When Ruth saw seven, she was adopted into the Gilbert family, the now new middle child. When the girl was born, she had a twin, a little brother. But he was adopted out into a family, as a new born, he was named Henry. And that's all Ruth knew. 

Knowing there was something missing in her life, Ruth was depraved of affection and love, until she hit seven. The Gilbert's introduced love and warmth to life, her older sister was loving and caring. Her younger brother was annoying, but lovable. And her parents, they managed to fill the hole in her heart. They made her promise to always live life with a smile and to always see the good in life. To always be a lover instead of a fighter. 

And that's what she became, sure she was sassy and sarcastic, but she always loved with her heart, and not her head. She always showed her emotions, knowing that it wasn't good to bottle things up. And because of the Gilbert's she became a girl full of love, hope and affection. 

But when her parents died, she grew sad and hopeless. The once full heart, had a gaping hole in it. But she knew, she couldn't continue her life mourning her parents, she had to become stronger for her family. And that's what she did.

She never lost her hope and love, but she became a stronger figure in her family. She was a shoulder to cry on, someone to rant to, someone who shared their love to brighten other peoples days.

But who did this to Ruth? No one, not until a certain Salvatore came, anyway.
