Riley Gilbert; 25 years old and a single mother of her 6 year old son, Asher. Riley had always been the family disappointment, the one no one wanted. So, when she had gotten accidentally pregnant, (gave birth at 19) they are furious and give her an ultimatum. Get an abortion or get the hell out. She chose to leave. Now, after a tragic event in her new home, New Orleans, Riley has no choice but to return to her hometown. Coming back she expected the town to be the same boring town it's always been. But, when she meets a very attractive Original vampire in a suit, she realizes her life will never be the same. And she didn't care one bit. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- DISCLAIMER: I do not own the rights to the Vampire Diaries / the Originals. The characters and plot belong solely to Julie Plec / Kevin Williamson / and L. J Smith. I do however own the rights to Riley, Asher, and their story.

When her mother announced they were moving once again, this time to a small town in Virginia, Emma assumed it was just one more search for a fresh start in a perfect place. But Mystic Falls was far from perfect, and her assumption far from correct. But by the time she realizes it, it will be too late. Without really looking for them, Emma will stumble upon all of the secrets hidden within the town as well as within her own family. And of course, once you're roped into the world which hides beyond the shadow of night within the small town, it is hard to get out of it. So it's good that Emma doesn't want to. Something keeps pulling her in, or better said... Someone. ----- [Kol Mikaelson x OC] [Book I in The Life Trilogy] [The Vampire Diaries: Season 3 - 4] [Completed: March 10th, 2022]
