   Summary

   Her death was a mistake. And the universe wanted to fix it.
   She was given a second chance. A new life. A new world. A new body.
   She woke up as Elena Gilbert — in the world of The Vampire Diaries. A world where she knows every fate. Every betrayal. Every death.
   But this time she won't be just an ordinary defenseless girl.
   Because this time Elena Gilbert won't survive by chance.
   This time she will survive because she chose to.
