History
Grayson and Miranda Sommers Gilbert were buried in Mystic Falls Cemetery where they share a headstone following their tragic deaths in an automobile accident on May 23rd, 2009. Their surviving daughter, Elena Gilbert often came to the cemetery to visit them. It was at this point that she began collecting her thoughts together in a diary.

In early September of 2009, Elena was visiting her parents' grave when she had a chance encounter with a mysterious new transfer student from Mystic Falls High School named Stefan Salvatore. Elena was disturbed by Stefan's sudden appearance, which was precipitated by an eerie black crow and a fog bank that had enshrouded her. Elena didn't know that Stefan was actually a vampire. Startled by his presence, she tripped and scraped her leg. The sight of Elena's blood made the normally reserved Stefan extremely nervous. After a brief conversation, the two parted company, but Elena left her diary behind. Stefan returned it to her hours later.
