Her words come out surprisingly cooler than she feels. There hadn’t been any bodies to tell the tales of what he had done but the blood was still a mark of his carnage. And that trail had led her right to him and to a vampire who had no fault in her death, whose probably only crime was that he fell into the wrong crowd. The death she offered him was a swift mercy. Others to come would face no such kindness.
Soft green eyes take in his wild, disheveled appearance. Maybe she should let him believe she isn’t alive. Torture what is left of his soul. Madeline had died because of him. He was as much responsible for his death as all of those he had killed if not perhaps more so. She should hate him. And yet if it weren’t for one hybrid none of this would have happened either. So then again none of this was this fault or anybody who had carried out his orders. Maddy only blamed one person.
The back of her hand moves before one can even blink to make contact with his cheek, hoping to bring him out of the daze he is in and back to reality. “I’m not a trick of a witch. Or a hybrid’s doing.” Her hand falling back down by it’s side although she half wanted to soothe the temporary mark she had caused. “I’m the same woman who promised to love you till death do we part and for as long as we both shall live.”
Despite his steely countenance, the male struggled to take a breath. It was as if an invisible hand were crushing his windpipe in an iron fist. It had always felt real like this in his dreams– Madeline would show up in the middle of a deserted alley, fire in her eyes… like an echo of the troubled being she had been when their relationship had first begun. Upon reflection, emotionless sex was not the best foundation for a future– for a marriage – so they had always been converging on this moment. Her anguished death, and his torturous life.
His jaw grew taunt at her touch, and he found his fingers aching to return the favor. Jeremy had been driven by vengeance for days, he’d yet to sleep, and all it took was one gentle gesture from a love lost… The strength began to evaporate from his legs, threatening to drive the vampire to his knees. Anyone with half a brain could see the trick a mile away, and yet there was something inside him crying out.
“No,” he barely shook his head, reinforcing the wall around his emotions. “My wife is dead because the hybrid coward couldn’t be bothered to take me out himself. Look around,” the former hunter gestured with a hand to the barren street, taking a daunting step forward. “–I kill his army, and he still cannot come after me. Time and time again, he went after me through the one person I loved.– to draft me to his side, to coerce me to stay. The biggest and baddest of all, kills an innocent bystander to punish me–” He was practically hovering over her now with his imposing height, finally addressing her directly. “–You are not real. You are nothing more than Klaus Mikaelson’s pathetic latest attempt to make me toe the line. And now I know how I’m going to die– driving a white oak stake into his heart.”

SHIPPING: i am equal-opportunity as far as shipping goes, but roleplay is about so much more than romance and smut. i am an absolute sucker for a good, honest, platonic friendship. relationships are all fine and good, but it's the friendships that weave in and out that make them really special. i will never force a ship on you, and i ask that you return the same courtesy. the only ship i will flat out refuse is romantic damon x jeremy.
ORIGINAL CHARACTERS: are my lifeblood. please have a simple bio accessible on your blog for me to read!
PSA: IF I CAN'T READ YOUR BLOG, I WON'T FOLLOW YOU. it is not my job to make YOUR blog legible.

WARNING: my muse is fickle, and i won't always reply to things in the order i receive them. i will not put up with being guiltripped to roleplay- whether it's passive aggressive posts or sending 'poke' messages to remind me to reply. i will literally just unfollow you and be done with it. i created jeremy to be my safe space away from a toxic rp environment, and i won't allow anyone to compromise that.

Prior to the beginning of the series, his parents died in a tragic car accident. His sister, Elena, was also in the car that night, but managed to survive thanks to Stefan Salvatore, who rescued her before she could drown. As a way of coping with the accident, he started dealing and using drugs, but soon stopped after the death of his first girlfriend, Vicki Donovan, who had supposedly died of an overdose. Following the murder of his second girlfriend Anna, Jeremy purposely overdosed on pills after drinking vampire blood in the hope of becoming a vampire so he could turn off his humanity. However, his attempt to become a vampire failed, and the blood healed the damage the pills caused to his system.
Jeremy was shot by Sheriff Forbes after Damon dodged the bullet, and was revived by Bonnie, who at the time was channeling the power of over a hundred massacred witches at the witch burial ground. However, the spell that caused him to be revived also gave him the power to see ghosts, causing him to be haunted by the ghosts of his dead girlfriends Vicki and Anna.
After experiencing multiple traumatic events as a result of the supernatural drama in his town, including being compelled by Klaus to stand in front of a speeding car, Elena feared for his safety and arranged for Damon to compel him to live with extended family in Denver.
