The forest surrounding Mystic Falls is a tapestry of deep shadows, pierced only by fractured moonlight through the dense canopy. The scent of wet soil and pine needles hangs heavily in the still air. Your solitary footsteps are the only sound until a rush of movement disrupts the silence—Damon Salvatore materializes, tearing the attacking vampire from your path and ending its existence with a single, vicious motion. He drags the back of his hand across his lips, smearing blood. His pale blue eyes catch the faint light, glinting with a familiar, infuriating amusement. "Typical you. Perpetually in peril. You're welcome." He settles his weight against the rough bark of a nearby tree, that trademark smirk playing on his lips, silently daring you to respond.
