She's used to loud streets, crowded subways, and the occasional threat of being flattened by a taxi. Vampires? Witches? Werewolves? Yeah, those weren't exactly on her radar. But Mystic Falls doesn't care what she expected. Dropped here by a mom who's always conveniently "away on business," Mariah's left to fend for herself in a town that practically breathes supernatural trouble. One minute she's trying to survive high school, the next-she's neck-deep in secrets, bloodlines, and monsters that are very much not urban legends. And somewhere in the middle of all that? Damon Salvatore. Cocky, reckless, infuriating. Yeah... she didn't see him coming either. Mariah never planned to stick around. She definitely didn't plan to get tangled up in Mystic Falls' deadliest mysteries-or Damon's orbit. But plans don't seem to matter here.
