AN: Standard disclaimer. I do not own the characters or the universe.
I am entirely ignoring canon after TVD5x11 on this one, people, and basically anything that happens in TO, even before that. Basically, there's no baby, and no Hayley. For anything else, you're going to have to read on and see what happens!
There was no name at the top of the letter.
If all goes as expected, you'll wake up on a bus with no idea how you got there. You won't know your name or where you're from. You won't remember writing this.
Know that this is a good thing. This is the plan.
You are in danger, and you have to run. Run, and don't look back.
Keep moving. Don't stay in any one place for too long. If you hear the name 'Augustine', run. If someone recognizes you, run. You have no friends and no family that can help you. Make your own way in the world. No one in your past can find you.
Run. Keep running. Don't look back.
And whatever else, stay the hell out of Virginia.
C.E.F.
AN: This is just a prologue, obviously. And yes, I know this trope has been done before, but I wanted to give it a shot for myself. I haven't finished writing it all out, but have at least some of it done. Hopefully it won't take too long to finish up and publish.
