EXT. MYSTIC FALLS WOODS - NIGHT. The air is thick with pine and tension. Damon Salvatore lies motionless on the gravel, a predator biding his time. Footsteps crunch nearby. Elena Gilbert, phone pressed to her ear, voices her grief and confusion to Bonnie. She hangs up, unaware she’s stepped into a trap. Damon rises from the shadows, materializing before her. He mistakes her for Katherine, a ghost from his past. When she corrects him, his eyes darken with curiosity. He circles her, charmed by her vulnerability. As her parents’ car approaches, he closes the distance. His voice drops to a hypnotic murmur. He compels her to forget him, erasing their meeting from her mind with a wave of his hand, then vanishes into the night.
