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]
