Elena Gilbert would never admit that she was relieved when her aunt told them that they were moving across the country in the wake of her parents death, but in a lot of ways she is. Mystic Falls is such a small town and everyone knew the Gilberts. She can't say she was excited for the pitying looks from the rest of the people there. Not to say that moving completely across the country is easy, exactly - she misses Bonnie and Caroline terribly - but it's almost refreshing for people to stop treating her like she's fragile.

She still is unsure about how to make friends when things are still weighing on her like they are, but it feels like forever since she's been just another girl.

The Beacon Hills Preserve stretches out for miles with nothing but silence and solitude, and it's where she's opted to spend most of her time after school. Jeremy is still self-destructing, though less so now that he doesn't know where all the connections are. And the kids at school are nice - some more so than others - but she doesn't mind taking some time for herself. She doesn't have to be the old Elena anymore, and in many ways it's incredibly liberating.

She's in the preserve, writing all of this out in her diary when she hears a snap of twigs and the pounding of footsteps from somewhere behind her and her head snaps around in concern. "Hello?" she frowns as she stares out into the density of the trees. "Is anyone there?"
