~ 1864 ~
"She's gone brother.." Stefan puts a hand on Damon's shoulder, stopping from him to go any closer to the church. The fire had destroyed the whole church, including your body inside. 
"No.." Damon whispered, looking at his brother with such heartbreak. You, his loving wife, his love, his life, his reason for breathing, was gone. Turned to ash. He drops to his knees and sobs. 
~ Present time ~ 
"What do you mean by tomb vampires?" Damon asks the woman in front of him. 
"I mean exactly what it sounds like. There was an underground tomb that many went into before the church burned. They've been locked in there by the Bennett witch since then, unable to get out." The woman, Anna explains. 
"Okay, why are you telling me this?" Damon asks, crossing his arms over his chest and glances over at his brother.
 "Because Damon... your wife is one of them."

Damon mourned your death. He thought he had lost you back in 1864, but now he stands here in front of you. A moment he never expected to have. His eyes burn with tears as he stares at you. You look the same as you did when they took you. "Y/n?" 
You slowly step toward your dear husband. You never expected to exit that tomb and have this moment. Tears are steadily flowing down your cheeks, "My darling, Damon..." You whisper. As if you don't believe he's real, you slowly raise your hand to touch his cheek and gasp, a sob escaping.
 "It's me.. I'm here." His hand covers yours and he cups your cheek.
He brought you back to the Salvatore home and gave you a change of clothes. He laid the clothes on the bed, "These are Elena's, Stefan's girlfriend."
 You slowly pick up the tiny jeans with your fingers as if it was diseased,  "This is what women are wearing?"
 Damon chuckles and nods, "Fashion has changed a lot while you were in the tomb.." He presses a kiss to your shoulder, "Let me help you out of your dress," He slowly unties your dress and helps you slip out of it.
 "What else has changed?" You as he helps you into your new clothes. 
"Anything you can imagine, we have it."

You sit at the island as Damon stands in front of you cooking dinner. His phone sits next to you and begins to buzz. You glance over at it, eyes wide as it buzzes and makes noises. You gulp and slowly poke it, quickly retracting your hand as if it will blow.
 Damon chuckles, wiping his hands on a rag, "Love, it's alright... This is my cellphone. A communication device." He holds it toward you and shows you how to answer it, "it's Stefan, say hello." 
He holds the phone to your ear, and you glance at it at your ear and then put it back, "H-hello?" 
"y/n, I see you learned how to work a telephone."
 You look up at Damon and smile, "That's Stefan!" 
Damon nods, "it is. He's on his way home." He smiles at your innocence and puts the phone to his ear, speaking with Stefan. You still had a lot to learn.
