JULIETTE GILBERT WAS GOING INSANE. She was only 23 years old when her parent's car plunged over Wickery Bridge with her and her younger sister, Elena inside. When they both arrived at the hospital, everyone thought it was a miracle that they had survived.

How had they both managed to escape?

Miranda and Grayson Gilbert, prominent members of Mystic Falls, were mourned by the entire community. The Gilbert siblings were left to navigate life without their parents, but they all dealt with their grief differently.

Elena, the more optimistic one out of the three, tried to put the pieces of her life back together. Jeremy turned to drugs and alcohol, the dark road that physically changed him for the worse.

And Juliette left Mystic Falls.She relocated to Kentucky and restarted her life, attending a new school and meeting new people. She had grown tired of people who were strangers to her expecting her to immediately get over herself and care for her family.

They didn't want her to grieve her parents death, she was the oldest sibling and had to look after her siblings as they were struggling with this big change.

When she left, and Jenna swooped in as legal guardian—completely understanding why Juliette left—people said she was an angel sent from heaven itself. She was so brave and courageous to step in and take care of her family, even though she was struggling.

However, Juliette was hated. How could she abandon her family when they needed her the most? How dare she want time to herself?

The entirety of Mystic Falls seemed to hate Juliette Gilbert.

When the 23 year old moved back to the dreaded town to help Elena with whatever she got herself involved in, she had learned that something dark was lurking in Mystic Falls.

The supernatural.

Vampires, werewolves, and witches.

Things she assumed were bedtime stories.

NOTHING IN JULIETTE'S LIFE was consistent. Many things are constantly changing. But the only thing that stayed with her were the enigmatic dreams that blessed her mind a few weeks after her parents died.

She didn't know why she was having these dreams, but the man that invaded her mind helped her through her darkest moments. So she didn't mind the mystery.

But when Juliette met the man who looked the exact same as the man in her dreams, it was as if the line between her dreams and reality had blurred, and she could tell whether to be comforted or terrified.

What happens when ELIJAH MIKAELSON enters her life and JULIETTE GILBERT'S world begins to unravel, driving her to the edge of madness as the chaos around her spirals out of control?

LOVE IS A GAMBLE, you can't tell that it's rotten until you've bitten into it.

[AUTHORS NOTE]

Welcome to my new fanfic! I am so happy that you have chosen to read Born to Die I hope you enjoy it!

Every time I watch TVD with my mum as it's her first time watching it and my 1000th time, I always get the urge to write a book so here I am!

Now I don't think I will be publishing this any time soon as I already have two books that need doing and need my full attention. So this is a book I'll write when I'm bored and can't be bothered doing my other ones!

I pinky swear I will publish this book soon!

I do not own The Vampire Diaries or the plot or the characters. Only Juliette Gilbert and her plotline in mine!

I am not Shakespeare so I'm not amazing at writing, so if you see any grammatical mistakes, please tell me and don't be rude about it!

I appreciate constructive criticism but if you are mean, you will get blocked. (bc I'm too sensitive and will cry myself to sleep)
