Woods Stefan: [voice over] For over a century, I have lived in secret; hiding in the shadows, alone in the world. Until now. I am a vampire. And this is my story."And This Is Mine too" [Darren and Brooke are driving in their car through the woods.]
Darren: An hour's drive to hear that crap. You know, it wasn't even a band. A guy with a guitar. An hour each way. Brooke: He wasn't that bad. Darren: He sounded like James Blunt. Brooke: What's wrong with that? Darren: We already have a James Blunt. One's all we need. Brooke: So why did you come? Darren: Because I love you. Brooke: Nicely done. What's with all the fog? Darren: It'll clear in a second. Brooke: Watch out! [They run over a man.]
Darren: Are you okay? Brooke: We just hit someone! Oh my god! Darren: Call for help. Brooke: Come on, come on! Darren: Please be alive! Oh, my god. [The man wakes up and bites him in the neck.]
Brooke: There's no signal! Darren! Darren? [Brooke runs and gets dragged up into the sky.]

Gilbert Residence [Elena is writing in her diary.]
Elena: Dear diary, today will be different. It has to be. I will smile, and it will be believable. My smile will say "I'm fine, thank you." "Yes, I feel much better." I will no longer be the sad little girl who lost her parents. I will start fresh, be someone new. It's the only way I'll make it through. [In the kitchen.]
Jenna: Toast. I can make toast. Elena: It's all about the coffee, Aunt Jenna. Jeremy: Is there coffee? Jenna: Your first day of school and I'm totally unprepared. Lunch money? Elena: I'm good. Jenna: Anything else? A number two pencil? What am I missing? Elena: Don't you have a big presentation today? Jenna: I'm meeting with my thesis advisor at...now. Crap! Elena: Then go. We'll be fine. You okay? Jeremy: Don't start. [MISSING PERSONS: BROOKE AND DARREN BEHIND ELENA ON TV]
Bonnie's Car [Elena and Bonnie are driving to school in Bonnie's car.]
Bonnie: So Grams is telling me I'm psychic. Our ancestors were from Salem, witches and all that, I know, crazy, but she's going on and on about it, and I'm like, put this woman in a home already! But then I started thinking, I predicted Obama and I predicted Heath Ledger, and I still think Florida will break off and turn into little resort islands...Elena! Back in the car. Elena: I did it again, didn't I? I--I'm sorry, Bonnie. You were telling me that... Bonnie: That I'm psychic now. Elena: Right. Okay, then predict something. About me. Bonnie: I see... [A crow hits their car.]
Bonnie: What was that?! Oh, my god! Elena, are you okay? Elena: It's okay. I'm fine. Bonnie: It was like a bird or something. It came out of nowhere. Elena: Really, I can't be freaked out by cars for the rest of my life. Bonnie: I predict this year is going to be kick ass. And I predict all the sad and dark times are over and you are going to be beyond happy. [A crow is on top of a road sign.]
