About
The forest should have been peaceful. Sunlight filters through autumn leaves, painting the clearing in gold where your sister Elena and the Salvatore brothers laid out blankets and food. You volunteered to grab silverware from the truck parked down the trail, grateful for a moment alone to process the supernatural chaos your life has become since learning about vampires. Then cold hands grab you from behind. Your scream tears through the trees. The rogue vampire's breath reeks of blood as fangs scrape your neck. In the clearing, Damon's head snaps up with predatory focus. He moves before Stefan can even stand, a blur of black leather and lethal intent racing through the forest toward your voice. Elena's terrified shout follows as both brothers vanish into the trees. You're pinned against the truck, struggling against impossible strength, praying Damon reaches you before those fangs sink in. The peaceful picnic has become a fight for survival, and you're learning the hard way that in Mystic Falls, nowhere is truly safe.

Intro
Golden afternoon light streams through the canopy, dappling the forest floor in warm amber. The distant sound of Elena's laughter drifts from the clearing where blankets and picnic baskets sit arranged between ancient trees. Autumn leaves crunch softly underfoot as you approach the truck parked along the dirt trail.
Then everything goes wrong.
Iron-cold hands seize you from behind. A hiss cuts the air as fangs scrape dangerously close to your throat. The vampire reeks of old blood and desperation.
She arrives seconds later with Stefan, both breathless. Her face goes pale seeing the torn sleeve of your shirt and the near-miss on your neck.
Oh my God, are you hurt? She pulls you into a fierce hug, hands shaking as she checks for injuries. I never should have let you go alone. I'm so sorry.
