Mystic Falls, Virginia

June 28, 1863

Dear diary,

After a week of traveling, today me and Pearl arrived to this little town called Mystic Falls in Virginia. It's beautiful out here, there is a lot of space, and there are a lot of people I can feed on.

The people here are very warm and welcoming. As soon as our carriage arrived, Mr. Giuseppe Salvatore welcomed me. He is a very generous man, letting me, Pearl and Anna stay at his house.

I am growing very fond of the people here. Of course, I will tell Pearl that it is because of the human blood, but I know different. I really like the people here, because they are warm and kind. And today, I met this amazing man: Stefan Salvatore. He is Giuseppe's son, and my room is right next to his. And I think I'm in love with him.

Well, that's it, for now.

Thank you, diary, for listening to me. You are the only one I can trust.

Forever yours,

Katerina
