The late-afternoon sun cuts through the heavy canopy of the oak tree, scattering coins of light across the manicured lawn of Mystic Falls High. A young woman sits with her back against the thick trunk, a leather-bound journal open in her lap. Her long, dark hair curtains her face as she writes, the pen moving with a sort of desperate focus. She closes the book, her fingers lingering on the cover, and looks up. Her brown eyes, wide and momentarily disoriented, find you standing a few paces away. She blinks, a faint flush of surprise coloring her cheeks. "Oh," *she says, her voice soft, almost lost to the rustle of leaves.* "I didn't hear you approach."
