Rory woke up and got changed into a sports clothes. She tied her hair up walked into the hallway to see her mom and cousin
"Do I look adult? As in respectfully parental?" Jenna asked
"Depends on where you're going." Elena asked
"Jeremy's parent-teacher conference. Hair up or down?" She asked and put her hair up.

"Sexy stewardess." Rory said and she put her hair down
"Boozy housewife." Elena said
"Up it is. You're feisty today." Jenna said to her niece
"I feel good, which is rare. So I've decided to go with it. Fly free, walk on the sunshine, and all that stuff. Wait, where is Jeremy?" She asked.

"He left early. Something about getting to wood shop early to finish a birdhouse." Jenna said and they both looked at her
"There is no wood shop, is there?" She asked
"No." Rory shook her head.

"Yeah." Jenna sighed and then turned to Rory
"Why are you up? I thought you didn't have classes until later." She asked her daughter
"The past few days gave been blurring together and I barely remember them so... I'm going for a run." Rory said.

"You? Running?" Jenna said
"Yes and if you make any comments about it I will not want to go." She said and her mother put her hands up in surrender
"Got it. Have fun." She said.

"Thank you." Rory said and kissed her mother's cheek
"I love you."
"I love you too." Jenna said and Rory went downstairs and out the door.

Rory ran through the forest while listening to her music when she heard a twig snap, she slowed down and paused her music. She turned to see if something was behind her when she heard a crow cawing and she jumped.

"What the fuck?" She asked out of breath with her chest rising and falling, she looked back up at the crow to see it weirdly staring at her.
"Absolutely not." She said and put her music back on and ran back. The feeling of eyes always on her became more and more stomach turning.

She then accidentally ran into someone,
"I am so sorry." She said looked up at the person, he had black hair and blue eyes
"It's alright. Are you okay?" He asked. For some reason she felt there was an invisible string pulling herself towards him.

"Yeah, just running in the woods it can be scary. Especially crows." Rory mumbled
"Crows?" The man asked
"Yeah, they're so big. No bird that you have to encounter in daily life should be that size." She shivered that the thought.

"I'm Damon." He said and Rory took her phone out to turn off the music
"I'm- nearly late for school. " She noticed the time
"I have to go. It was nice meeting you." She said and ran off.
