  Summary

  Adeline Santos thought she was dreaming when she woke up with the thought 'I am Elena Gilbert' and like anyone would, continued with the dream while waiting for it to end. Except the dream hours start to feel like real, waking hours and she's starting to think maybe it's not really a dream. Can Adeline figure out how to survive in the role of a character destined for tragedy or will she find a way to change their futures?
