Young Lily is a big fan of The Vampire Diaries and one night as she is watching a rerun the power goes out and Lily wakes up in 1864 in The Vampire Diaries! What will Lily do and will her choices change the future of Mystic Falls in the 21st Century?

"Oh Damon don't fall in love with Katherine! She's evil!" said Lily to the TV. She had been watching a Vampire Diaries marathon. Right now she was watching an episode that had a flashback of Mystic Falls in 1864, Katherine was seducing Damon and Lily loved those scenes but hated them because Katherine was evil.

Sometimes Lily wished that she lived in The Vampire Diaries, in Mystic Falls and in the year 1864. She would be a good person for Damon. Stefan was nice but too sweet. Lily picked up her phone and was replying to a text when the power went out.

"Oh crap," said Lily. Before she could find a flashlight the lights flickered and Lily lost consciousness.

When she did wake up she was looking at the sky, the perfect blue sky. She slowly sat up, wondering where she was. She saw that she was in the middle of a dirt road. Dirt road? Where was the cement? She also was in the middle of a forest. Lily also saw a carriage tipped over, a carriage? Those went out two hundred years ago.

"Where am I?" asked Lily to herself.

"You are trespassing Miss," said a voice.

Lily turned around and her eyes went wide. She was staring at… Damon Salvatore. Human Damon Salvatore. She backed up and saw he was also with two other men. She started thinking, in the Vampire Diaries in the 1800s. Lily noticed Damon was staring at her so she bowed, like they would in the 1800s.

"I'm very sorry sir. I was walking when my carriage tipped," said Lily, "I had been knocked unconscious and was a bit dazed. I was heading to Mystic Falls, do you know of the place, I was going there to be…" She couldn't think up a good lie. She couldn't say just to move there, people never did that in 1864.

Damon stepped closer and offered his hand, "You must be the new governess for The Forbes Family. Are you not?"

Lily nodded and shook his hand. God he was warm. "Yes it's all coming back to me. I am the new governess Lily… Harker."

Damon smiled back and looked at her clothing, Lily looked down she was wearing spotted pj pants and a lacy t-shirt. She blushed and covered her arms, "My dress was ripped terribly and my other clothes are covered in mud."

Damon took off his coat and put it on Lily, their mouths were so close, Lily smiled and took it and they started walking to town. After a mile of walking and speaking with Damon Lily had a perfect cover story. Her name was Lillian Anne Harker, known as Lily; she came from Massachusetts to be a governess, lived in an orphanage and later became the local baby sitter for her small town.

They walked through town and headed to Damon's home. The exterior was very beautiful, they headed inside and Lily brushed her hair with her fingers to make sure she looked decent.

"Father we have a visitor," said Damon as they walked into the sitting room. Damon's father was working while having afternoon tea. Damon's father stood up and walked over to Lily. She smiled and bowed.

"I apologize if my appearance is disheveled. My trunk was ruined in the carriage accident," Lily said.

"Carriage accident?" asked Giuseppe as he looked at Damon. Damon smirked at Lily and stepped forward, "Yes. She's the new governess for the Forbes Family. She had an accident and needs some new clothes."

Giuseppe looked Lily up and down and nodded, he went back to work and Damon touched Lily's waist, guiding her to the upstairs. She couldn't believe this was happening, but it was and now Lily had a plan, she was going to make sure that nothing bad happened. She could change the future of this new world. Lily just continued walking until she got to a door, Damon opened it and it was a large bedroom.

"This is another visitor's room but I don't think she would mind if you borrowed one dress," said Damon, he walked to the closet and looked over his shoulder at Lily, "Pick one."

Lily walked over, trailing her hand over the dresses; they were all made of satin and so soft, "They're too exquisite for someone like me."

Damon looked at her and held her chin under his hand, "Someone beautiful?"

Lily blushed and picked out a light purple one, she walked over to a cover and slipped out of her clothes and into the dress, she walked out and turned around, her corset needed tying. "Can you do me up?

Damon started pulling and Lily held onto the bed post. Ouch corsets hurt. After he finished Lily didn't know what to do with her hair so Damon picked up a silver broach and pinned her hair up.

"Almost perfect…" Lily frowned, "Almost?" Damon looked down and she noticed she had no socks or shoes. Damon walked back to the closet and Lily sat down as he put on her stockings. His fingers traced her soft skin and then put on her boots with straps. Lily and Damon glanced at each other, he helped her stand. He had such nice blue eyes, Lily never noticed before when she was watching The Vampire Diaries. She blushed a little and leaned closer to kiss him, just once.

"Who is that and why is she wearing my clothes?" said a voice. Lily turned around and her eyes went wide as she saw the real Katherine. Lily was going to die.
