unholy books scrawled with the names of men who’d come before only to bewitch the town with demons . beneath the rustic ruins of gravestones turned time and time again , to her it was no secret . yet , murmured lips hum gently as she counters. ‘ i’m not too sure. ‘ slender shoulders slouch following a shrug . ‘ but , if i ever find out , i’ll let you know . ‘
“ yikes, that looks like it hurt. REALLY stuck the landing though. “ / @girlmartyr , sc
‘ yeah … ‘ she , the crestfallen , torn from pedestal in which she’d once thrived atop . lips curl downwards as slender shoulders fall into a shrug . ‘ i used to be better at this —– the cheerleading thing . ‘
“ LOOK, ALL I’M SAYING ISi’m not judging you for wanting the best of both worlds. ” / @girlmartyr
bewilderment evident , lips parted as brows furrow in a mask of confusion . ‘ i don’t —- ‘ pause , words caught within a liars throat . ‘ hanna , that’s not what’s going on . ‘
❛ TELL ME , DOE - EYES – what’s with the general population of this place ? everyone’s so grim you’d think they’d forgotten how to PARTY. i’m genuinely concerned! ❜ @girlmartyr!
‘ you know … ‘ lithe digits push back loosened locks before gaze trails up to the vibrant red . ‘ i heard caroline talk about a bonfire , tomorrow night . ‘ perked brows , interest indulgent as words drip from honeysuckle dipped lips . ‘ the falls are pretty big here . ‘
‘ how old is your brother? ’ it’s as if she has a list ofVICTIMSplanted in her mind,&it’s a flower. the blood she spills is it’s water, & the rush she gets is it’s sunlight.it grows fast. pearly whites bite down onto lower lip, a wide grin following. ‘ ———- asking for a friend. ’
brow raises , suspicions heighten as doe eyed gaze lingers upon girls rose thorn cut lips . cherry red , dangerously seductive . air drips of nothing but sensation as elena’s lips part slightly . vocals , unwavering , as she retorts. ‘ too young for you . ‘
“ELENA, YOU DUMPED HIS ASS. ” metal door swings shut, fingers fiddling with lock before he finally meets her gaze. “ isn’t change kinda what you were going for? ”
‘ tyler … ‘ soft spoken , her sighs leave little to be said . shame hollowed out from the grief that consumes her ; that clouds her judgement . yet , with a heart so filled with love , how could it be that she just didn’t feel the same . where matt was a fresh blooming spring , elena was the winter chill that wrapped florals within its grasp . sure enough , a frost to kill them both . it’s with widened eyes that she settles upon tyler’s own , corners of her lips falling with every attempt of retort . ‘ i don’t know . ‘ the first honest thing she’d said . ‘ i guess i just thought . . . i mean we’ve all been through a lot . i thought he’d understand . ‘
“YEAH, YOU KEEP SAYING.” joined hands rest on knee pulled to chest. perched half on the desk, opposite foot scuffs lightly against tile. not once has he spared another glance at their surroundings. “ look, i just want to help. you can trust me, okay? ”
you can trust me. words resonate within her mind , confusion circles thoughts as she shakes her head . once , twice , thrice ! ‘ i’ve been known to trust the wrong people . ‘ soft vocals slip from her tongue , mere whisper into thinned air . ‘ i’m sorry … . but you can’t help me. ‘
he’s mid-bite when the brunette walks into the kitchen . it wasn’t that early , but he still didn’t expect to see anyone . ‘ oh , hey elena . jeremy said it was cool if i made myself breakfast . ’made is a strong word , considering all he did was pour cereal into a bowl . ‘ sorry . i finished all the milk . did you want anything ?’
‘ CHEERIOS . ‘ the word falls effortlessly from lips as she crosses kitchen , gaze falling unto the boy as lips curl upwards . ‘ but i guess that’s out of the question . ‘ light digits dig through fridge as she throws comments over her shoulder and back at callum . ‘ isn’t this your third morning here ? ‘
‘ I’LL BE FINE . ‘ it’s a mantra imbedded into girls mind . water fills lungs and she repeats the same three words , unable to breath and yet able to reiterate the lies in which she’s found herself swimming in . ‘ i’m fine . ‘ @dethalstead
YOU WILL NOT CHOKE THE D I V I N E FROM ME . I AM MY OWN GOD DAMN M A R T Y R

GENERAL
this is a writing blog for ELENA GILBERT of the cw television show the vampire diaries. her characterization is strictly seasons 1-3 , however season 4 may appear heavily canon divergent. this blog is private and mutually exclusive . i will only write with mutuals and heavily relies on prior plotting. this goes for any and all starter calls , reblogged memes , plotting calls.
my characterization is mine and mine alone. i've been writing elena for quite some time and her voice is prominent in my head. i ask that you do not compare my writing to anyone else . this interpretation relies heavily on elena's trauma, and therefore triggering content will be explicit on this blog. ( ie. blood , gore , death , ptsd ) please keep that in mind when following.
as stated above , this blog is private . i prefer plotting above anything else as i'd really like to find some solid writing partners who can build relationships and flesh them out to their potential with me. however, please do not hesitate to jump into my inbox / ims and ask to plot as chances are i'll most likely say yes to any and all things.
INSERT ABOUT HERE.
