Chapter 1

Tessa's POV

I sighed as i got out of the car and looked up at the London sky - grey and dull just like how i was feeling right now. My dad just got a new job promotion, meaning we had to move all the way from America to London leaving all my friends behind, my heart sunk as i thought about them i was going to be the 'New weird girl' but i really wasn't like that I was actually really fun once you got to know me but people are going to most likely to judge me before they even got to know me. I sighed again as that thought crossed by.

'Cheer up,Tessie' said my golden boy of a brother.

Nathaniel aka Nate was the perfect son, always got straight A's, was a champion at sports not to mention his looks straight goldish-brown hair, clear blue eyes, pearly white teeth and a killer smile that for some odd reason all the girls seem to love, whereas i had gotten the boring brown hair and dull grey eyes also i am almost taller than all the guys i've met. how unfair is that?

'Easy for you to say Nate, you'll easily make friends , while I take forever too.'

'Tessie you just need to put yourself out there more and get your nose out of those books, i swear sometimes if i didn't know you i would think those books are your only friends' he said.

' Gee thanks for the encouragement speech, i really appreciate it' letting my voice drip with sarcasm.

Nate just smiled ' Always happy to help'

'whatever' I muttered and rolled my eyes.

'come on guys, lets check out the house aye?' said dad.

The house had a very mysterious air to it and looked like it had come straight out of the Victorian ages - i loved it. As we walked in Nate and i went straight away to find our bedrooms it was an upstairs house so we had to bolt up the stairs with our luggage in hand, which by the way is a lot of work but as i was walking through the corridors i stopped at a particular door it had an engraving on it in what i think was latin? 'Amor verus numquam moritur' (A/N it means 'true love never dies') huh... i wonder what that means,i made it a point to check it out later.

When i opened the door and looked inside what i saw was breath taking, the room had a balcony and the roof was slightly slanting which i thought made it more pretty and and not to mention the fact that it was really big. But suddenly i got this weird feeling like the room was spinning and i actually could feel wind rushing by my ears and it felt like i was falling through the ground i kept trying to grab on to something but my hand always getting nothing and the worst part of it was that i couldn't scream it was like one of those dreams where you try to scream but you can't so i did the only thing i can do- shut my eyes. Abruptly the sensations stopped, i opened one eye expecting to see my room, but no instead i saw a room filled with a few people staring at me with a lot of confusion in their faces, there were two girls - one was very beautiful with shimmery blonde hair, beautiful fair skin, rosebud lips while the one had light brown hair and pretty brown eyes and fair skin. Also there were three guys- there was a ginger with a light dusting of freckles looking tall and lanky, next to him was boy my age i'm guessing sliver hair...eyes and well everything about him was practically silver but had a sort of delicacy about him, the other boy was... UMMMMM ok well HE WAS THE HOTTEST GUY I HAVE EVER SEEN! He had a shock of black hair and dark blue eyes, that anyone would kill to have, his smooth skin was beautiful and his full pouty lips, but then i looked down and saw what they were wearing.. they looked a if they came out of the Victorian period which i absolutely love.But where was i?

"Who are you guys and why are you in my house?"

And that's when the silence broke.

"Your house? I can assure you, that this is not your house" said the ginger haired man.

" Who are we.. who are you?" The gorgeous blue-eyed boy ranted.

" excuse us, but you were the one who just appeared out of know where, are you a warlock? or perhaps a fair folk?" the pretty brown hair lady questioned

um. was it just me or did she just say warlock and fair folk? i was still just staring at these strange beautiful people, i was still in shock also i am pretty sure i looked like a deer in head lights.

"Charlotte don't you think it would be best if we questioned one at a time not all at once?" The silvery boy said, he had this sort of calmness about him.

Charlotte looked a little flushed after he said that " Oh my, forgive me for being so rude but we would all like to know who you are and what have you come from"

" Also,what exactly are you wearing?" said the Blondie.

i decided to answer the one named Charlotte because she seemed like the only sensible one - except for Silver.. hmmm i like that, thats gonna be my nickname for him :)

" I am Theresa, but call me Tessa, and well i don't understand what you mean about where i came from, aren't we all in London?"

For some reason i looked down at what they were wearing again and I couldn't get the thought out of my head What are hey wearing?

"Erm.. what the hell are you guys wearing?" I blurted out, they looked so old fashion it was like someone from the 1800s would wear.

Simultaneously they looked down at what i was wearing- black skinny jeans and i tight grey 3 quarter top and grey ballet flats.

The blue-eyes boy just raised an eye brow

Charlotte and the ginger haired man just looked at me with wide eyes.

Blondie actually looked interested

and Silver just looked at me with confusion

" We are obviously wearing clothes" replied Bluey .. ohh that's catchy.

I rolled my eyes " No shit sherlock but style is that?"

He raised both his eye brows and smirked at me but said nothing. Suddenly something crossed my mind Their clothes.. their voices ... how they spoke.

" What year are we in?" I asked shakily

They all shared a look.

"1876"

" I'm being serious"

"so am I"

Thats when it fully hit me. Im not in 2013 anymore. Im in London,1876.

I staggered back a little. Charlotte came forward.

" Don't touch me"

With that she slowly backed away a if trying not to scare me.

" I can't be here, oh shit, i have to get back" I started rambling

" Okay, we will help you get back to your home, where is it situated?"

I stared at her in disbelief, How can they not tell I'm from here as in 1876, I gave a little scream of frustration

" I am not from here i am from 2013! in the future"

They all looked shocked.

suddenly my head started spinning and I could see black dots, the last thing I saw before I blacked out were a pair of blue eyes.
