Kathryn Mandrake looked around the dean's office and sighed. She'd come to Salem to attend University while interning at one of the two rivaling corporations, Basic Black or Titan. That's what she'd told her friends back in L.A., but it was only half the story. She'd also come to Salem in order to find her sister, to see if she could unearth the answers to her past and figure out why she couldn't remember most of her life. The doctors she'd seen had assumed it was amnesia caused by some sort of trauma in her past, but she felt it was something more - something to do with her past that had caused her to repress any memory of her former life. And for some reason Salem felt like the place that held all the answer, which was strange since she'd only just heard of it recently on a tv report about an apparent baby switch that had caused a huge scandal because it concerned one of the biggest business men in the country, John Black, who had been thought to be the father of the child, but it had been prove to be false. The roller coaster hadn't stopped for the family because another man came forward claiming he was the baby's father and as before it had been proven that Glen Riber was of no relation to the little boy named JT. It seemed like something out of a soap opera but it was real - as real as you could get. The name had stuck in her mind and intrigued her so much that she'd found herself learning more and more about the place, and as the months went by she had gotten it in her head that she was going to move there. Her friends had brushed it off as just another whim on their sometimes cooky friend's part - but in Kathryn's mind she'd known that it wasn't. This was something she was going to have to do, no matter how much her friends warned her that she was better off not knowing about her past since she'd repressed it. It still baffled her as to why she could only remember the fact she had a sister named Alex who was a police officer, and yet she couldn't remember anything else from her childhood up until the point she'd entered university. Her high school career was a blur she had friends who had known her for a while but they could not help with the lack of knowledge she had because she'd never talked about her home life or even remotely mentioned her parents in passing - it had been like she was alone from the day they'd met her, and she knew that was how it was going to be until she found out who she truly was.
"Ms. Mandrake, Dean Winters will see you now." the secretary said.
"Thank you." Kathryn smiled politely at the woman and headed into the dean's office. "Dean Winters, your secretary sent me in, she said you were ready to see me."
"Yes, yes take a sit my dear." Dean Winters said as he turned to look at the raven haired girl. She had an eerie resemblance to somebody he'd once known - somebody he didn't care to know again. "Well Ms. Mandrake are you ready to start you life here at Salem U?"
"As ready as I'll ever be." she muttered, not knowing that her entire existence would upset the balance within the city of Salem and her presence would affected some many lives in unmeasurable ways.
