Lost in The Vampire Diaries

Lost in The Vampire Diaries (Prologue, Ch.1 and 2)

LOST IN THE VAMPIRE DIARIES

Summary: Claire - a seventeen-year-old blonde cheerleader – has woken up in the Vampire Diaries' world after making an innocent wish. Strangest thing of all? She has replaced her favorite female character, Caroline Forbes. Inspired by 'Lost in Austen'. Begins in the very first episode of Season1. Damon/OC.

Caroline is not my favorite character. I liked her in season2 very much but now I like her only when she has scenes with Klaus and sometimes with Stefan and Tyler. However, she is the favorite female character of my OC. That is not the same thing. I don't really think that Caroline and Damon would be good together. But my OC thinks so, and that's the reason why she takes over Caroline's life. I hope that's clear. Another thing, my OC has seen the Vampire Diaries since season3 finale.

Main Pairing: Damon/Claire (slow-moving. It'll start with friendship).

Other Pairings: Matt/Claire (temporarily - pretty much like what happened in the show between Matt and Caroline). Stefan/Elena. Slight Damon/Elena. Mostly one-sided Tyler/Claire, Klaus/Claire and Elijah/Claire (because I just love Elijah).

Disclaimer: I'll say this only once. I don't own 'The Vampire Diaries' (books or TV Show) nor do I make money by writing this story.

I made a video about Damon and Claire – or as I imagined how Claire looks like. It's on Youtube, it's called 'Damon Salvatore/Claire Forbes - State of Seduction'. I'd really like if you'd checked it out because I spent a lot of time creating it.

Prologue

HEART'S DESIRE

"No other dream could replace

That lonely and cold empty space

And fill my heart with a love

For it's you I'm dreaming of..."

(Heart's Desire by Manhattan Transfer)

Claire was watching an old episode of 'The Vampire Diaries' season 2. She had seen the entire season 3 already but she would never miss an opportunity to see Damon Salvatore on her screen. She sighed dreamily when he appeared for the first time in the episode. She couldn't understand how Elena was still so obsessed with Stefan when there was someone like Damon around. Even after everything that Stefan had done in season 3, she had still chosen him over Damon...unbelievable.

Damon loved her so much and he would do anything for her, how could Elena treat him so badly? Yes, Damon had done a lot of bad things but Stefan had too. Why was Stefan so easily forgiven but not Damon? It wasn't fair. Especially because Elena loved Damon, it was clear to everybody. Didn't she own it to herself to give the two of them a chance instead of clinging to Stefan just because, in her mind, he was the safe, familiar choice? Particularly because, how 'safe' was Stefan really? He had threatened to drive the car, with Elena in it, over the bridge where her parents had died, where she had almost died.

Oh, but no, that wasn't Stefan, that was the blood that made him not himself. Why was Elena so adamant about lying to herself when it came to Stefan? Was it because he had been the one to save her the night her parents died and she felt like she owned it to him? That was the only explanation that made sense in Claire's mind.

Claire really believed that Elena was just trying to hold on to her relationship with Stefan – even if she didn't love him anymore – because what she felt for Damon scared her to death. Damon was reckless and unpredictable and a relationship with him would be nothing like the puppy love she had with Stefan. Even if Stefan was a vampire, being with him was easy, comfortable. It was nothing like the 'love that consumes you' that Damon had described to Elena when they first met.
