From Hatred to Love

It was a cold night in Mystic Falls. Although it was autumn it was a pretty cold night for this time of year. Outside it was raining heavily and was quiet. Elena Gilbert stood by the window thinking about her life. When everything went so wrong, she had no idea. It was just a year ago when she was an ordinary girl with dream to go to college, to be a doctor as her father, to get married to the man she loved and to have kids. But one faithful night everything changed and after that she never knew what to with her life anymore. Her parents died in a car crash, in which she had to die too. However, she didn't. She was saved. Elena didn't know it back then, but now she did. She was saved by Stefan Salvatore. Stefan. Elena smiled at the thought of him. Stefan was the mysterious new guy in school this year, whom she began dating to. Stefan was no ordinary boy, he was a vampire. Shocking but she was ok with it. She really felt alive with him again. Elena was happy with him, but their happiness wasn't that too long. Stefan's brother Damon appeared and everything turned upside down. He wanted to free his past lover Katherine Pierce from the tomb under the old church, who in fact was the vampire who turned both Stefan and Damon. However Katherine wasn't in the tomb, which made Damon furious. After a while he chilled out, but started to have some feelings towards Elena. However, Elena saw him just as a friend, nothing more. She was deeply in love with Stefan. She loved the green-eyed vampire with every fibre in her body. But that wasn't everything she had to run for her life. Katherine wanted to kill her for some reason and Damon and Stefan swore to keep her alive no matter what. Elena however didn't care so much about her life as she cared for Jeremy's and Jenna's lives. They were her only family after her parents' death. Jeremy was taking drugs and was still mourning about Vicky's death. Jenna hadn't a clue about the supernatural beings in Mystic Falls. Bonnie was a witch and Caroline was turned accidently in a vampire. Elena sighed tonight everyone had to go to the party handled by the Lockwood.

"Are you alright, love?" Elena turned around and saw Stefan by the door. He looked dashing in his dark blue suit. The girl smiled they indeed made a great couple. He had dirty blond hair and wonderful green eyes, she was the opposite – dark brown hair and chocolate eyes. Elena was dressed in simple ecru dress, which made her olive skin pop out.

"I am fine. I was just thinking about tonight, Stefan. Let's hope it goes smoothly. I am tired of everything supernatural."Stefan came closer to the girl and hugged her.

"I give you my word, Elena, nothing supernatural will happen tonight."And the vampire kissed the girl. "We'd better be going. Damon is already there." Elena nodded. Stefan took her hand and led her out.

Stefan was right nothing supernatural would happen that night, but still something would happen. Something would happen which would change their lives. The people of Mystic Falls had to be ready for a bumpy ride.

Elena and Stefan walked in the hall of Lockwood's mansion. The decoration was wonderful as on every party, held by Carol Lockwood. That woman surely knew how to throw parties. Everything was going smoothly and Elena felt normal. Indeed nothing supernatural happened. Even Damon didn't bother her with his sarcastic comments. She had a great time. She danced with Stefan and Matt. Then Damon approached her.

"Will you have the next dance with me?" Damon asked her. Elena didn't know what to answer him. He stood there waiting for her answer, his eyes held so many hopes. Elena couldn't smash them in pieces. Elena scanned the room for Stefan and saw him in the corner, dancing with Mrs. Lockwood. Well, there was nothing left for her, but to say "yes". And she was, but Jenna approached them.

"Elena, promise me not to kill me!"Elena could clearly see that something was bothering Jenna deeply. "I just had to do it! There was nothing left to do!"

"Jenna, what are you talking about?" However Elena couldn't get an answer. Suddenly the music stopped and everyone turned to the door. By the door was standing a blond woman in long red dress. She had a piercing green eyes and a sarcastic smirk. Elena knew that even though the woman was quite far from her. Elena couldn't breathe. Although she knew that this beautiful woman will bring nothing but trouble, Elena was more than happy to see her. She felt tears in her eyes.

"Elena, I will ask her to leave, if you want." Elena heard Jenna's low voice.

"No it is ok." Elena saw that concern was written all over the woman's face. Elena felt Stefan by her side.

"Elena, is everything ok?"She heard her gentle voice. Elena just nodded.

"Please, somebody explain what the hell is going on?" Damon asked. There was curiosity in his voice. He couldn't deny that the woman was beautiful, even gorgeous. He saw that the woman headed to them. He could take a better look of her. Damon somehow felt uneasy around her. His bright blue eyes met her green ones. Damon saw sadness in her eyes and there was something familiar about them, however, he couldn't place them. He felt stupid for starring at her for so long, so he turned at Elena.

"Angelique…" Elena said quietly to the blond woman. Angelique smiled brightly.

"Elena, I missed you. Won't you give me a hug?" Elena obeyed. Both girls hugged each other.

"What are you doing, here? You shouldn't be here, Angelique!" Elena said in a low voice. Not that she had to. Elena perfectly knew that Damon and Stefan could hear them, so as Caroline. Bonnie and Jenna knew the story, so it wasn't a secret to them. "Look they forgot, Angelique. The town just recovered, you are bringing up the memories." The smile from Angelique's face disappeared. The warmth in her eyes disappeared and they became cold. To Damon it seemed that Angelique's eyes became even sadder if it was possible.

"Elena, I don't care if they forgot or not and I don't care if this forsaken town recovered. All I know is that Jeremy is on drugs and Jenna cannot simply handle him, that is why I am here."

"Jenna shouldn't have called you." Elena said. Angelique sighed. Jenna stood by the dark haired girl.

"Elena, Angelique, please both of you calm down." Jenna said with a worried look. Elena wouldn't make a scene. Jenna knew that perfectly. Elena was way calmer than Angelique. Elena respected the elders, the society and its rules. But Angelique was fire. She was famous for her laud parties, for the troubles she made. Still Jenna admired Angelique for her frivolity. Angelique never cared what people thought of her, never cared for anyone's opinion and with her it wasn't an act. People hated her, but at the same time they loved her. Men in the town wanted her in every possible way, they chased her and obeyed her. The women hated her, but part of them wanted to be her, to be in her place, to be as beautiful as Angelique was. They said that Angelique had everything. Indeed Angelique had everything, she was young, rich, smart and beautiful. But Jenna knew better. She had known Angelique since her birth and when her sister Miranda adopted the little blond green-eyed girl with nobody left, Jenna get to know her better and grew to love her. Jenna knew that for some reason Angelique was never happy and could see it in her eyes. In the same time Angelique was the meanest bitch ever born, however, she would do anything for Elena and Jeremy. Jenna knew that that was why she called her adopted niece.

"Elena, I called her because we cannot handle him. I don't know what to do with him."Jenna spoke again. Elena nodded.

"I know. Angelique, I am just angry with you. You left right after the funeral and I needed you." Elena said looking right at her sister.

"Lena, listen to me. I am sorry for leaving like that, but I couldn't stay you know that. However I am back and tend to stay for a while." Angelique said and smiled. Elena hugged her sister again. "You know that I will do anything for you, even die for you. You do know that, right?" Angelique said in a low voice only to be heard by Elena. However Damon Salvatore heard. He took interest in Angelique. She was different.

"Angelique Pécheur, is that you?"The sweet voice of Carol Lockwood said. The smile on Angelique's beautiful face disappeared. How Angelique hated this woman.

"Yes Mrs. Lockwood, it is me in flesh and blood. You haven't changed." Angelique said as sweetly as possible. The blond girl never knew why she disliked so much Mrs. Lockwood, but she felt uneasy around her. Angelique couldn't trust her.

"Nobody expected you to return after the events from two years ago."

"I am aware of that, however I am here and I am staying." Angelique used her bitchy tone. Jenna couldn't help but smirk, no one used such tone with Mrs. Lockwood. Only Angelique

Pécheur could talk like that to Mrs. Lockwood. The expression of Mrs. Lockwood's face was priceless. The feelings between Angelique and the elder woman were mutual. Mrs. Lockwood never liked the Pécheur girl because she was reminder of the past, of the guilt, of those events. Carol Lockwood couldn't stand it when Angelique was around, it could easily drive her crazy…

"Well, Angelique, I do not want to offend you, but this is a private event and you simply do not have an invitation…"

"Do not worry, Mrs. Lockwood, I do not tend to stay, I have a better place to be right now. Elena, Jenna, I will see you both at home."Angelique smiled to her sister and aunt. "Enjoy your time!" Without waiting a response Angelique left. Everyone was silent. It was like they had just seen the Devil himself. And you could say that they had, because there was something devilish in Angelique Pécheur.

Damon couldn't take his eyes from Angelique. This was how the perfect woman would look like. She had that angelic appearance, innocent and sweet. But at the same time Angelique was not a saint, there was something sinful around her and dangerous. Somehow she reminded him of Lilith, a demon who lured men and then fed on them. Angelique was something new and interesting, something that Damon needed and longed. Still there was something very familiar about her. Those sad green eyes were so familiar. He could swear that he had seen them before, but where? It was a mystery…

Stefan saw how his brother was looking after Angelique. He could tell that Damon was interested. This time the prey was no other but Elena's adoptive sister. Damon never looked this way at woman neither at Katherine nor at Elena. But what disturbed Stefan more was why Elena hadn't told him of Angelique, so he decided to ask.

"Elena, why haven't you told me that you have a sister?" Elena knew that this moment will come eventually.

"Stefan, when it comes to Angelique, things get really complicated."

"You know, I can understand, but she is your sister. Imagine Katherine discovers that you have sister what she is going to do? I can tell you blackmail us." Elena knew that Stefan was absolutely right. But it was Angelique they were talking about. She was invincible! Angelique survived the fire, always got away and could handle everyone.

"I know. I am sure Katherine doesn't know and believe me I know Angelique. She doesn't give up without a fight. And sometimes I think that Angelique is a way crazier than Katherine." Damon listened carefully to Stefan's and Elena's conversation, but there wasn't any vital information about this mysterious girl. So he decided to step in.

"Why everyone hates her?"Of course with this question he earned a glare from Elena and an eye roll from Stefan. "What? It is a simple question."

"It is a long story. She just started a riot in the town and everything turned upside down. There were crazy parties, car races and dangerous games. In the end some people got hurt badly. Even though almost everyone of her class and many more took part in those events, Angelique was blamed for everything and she took the blame. She never denied anything."

Well, the girl was a rebel, but that didn't explain why they hated her. Damon decided to leave. He could catch up with Angelique and officially to meet her. You could call it a plan.

"Well, I am heading home. This party sucks."Damon drank what was left of his bourbon and headed to the entrance. But he was stopped on the half way by his annoying brother."

"Damon, you are going after Angelique."It was a statement. Stefan could see right through his brother, as if he could read Damon's thoughts. "You are interested in her Damon, aren't you?" Damon smirked a little, ho right was Stefan, but Damon was a great liar.

"Why do you think I am interested in Angelique? Maybe you are, Stefan. As I recall you are the one who are questioning about Elena's sister. Go after her, little brother, and leave Elena to me." Stefan just shook his head. Damon smirked and turned to the door. However on the half way he turned to his brother.

"Stefan, I must say she is gorgeous." With that Damon Salvatore turned and left the Lockwood's mansion. He hoped to catch up with Angelique. He didn't even know why he went after her. Maybe it was curiosity or it was something more that made him go after her. Damon refused to think. He just wanted to catch her.

Angelique Pécheur spent good five minutes outside after she left the mansion. She was angry with herself. Why she decided to come here, she did not have an idea. From the beginning she knew that it was bad idea, stupid even. The way those people looked at her. As if they had seen a ghost. They never expected her to come back. But she did. She came back only for Elena, Jeremy and Jenna. If it wasn't for them, she would never set a foot here in Mystic Falls. Maybe it wasn't only her sister and brother that made her come back. Maybe it was revenge for her parents' death, finding the truth about the fire which killed her parents fifteen years ago. She decided to do to the only place where she belonged – the cemetery. Angelique hadn't been to her parents' graves since the funeral of Miranda and Garrison. They were her adoptive parents. They took when she had no one and raised her. She loved them, they were her only family. She decided to walk to the cemetery, because it wasn't so far from the mansion. So she started walking. Angelique let go of the thought about her parents and her adoptive parent. She started to think about her conversation with Elena. Her little sister had grown up. But what surprised Angelique more was to see Elena in the company of those men. They were handsome, Angelique couldn't deny it. One of them was with dirty blond hair and green eyes and Angelique assumed that he was the same age as Elena and was quite protective of her. However the other man caught Angelique's attention. There was something different about him, even something off. She had seen many men through her short life. Every one tried to be her only man. However she had never fell in love. But the way this man with raven hair and crystal blue eyes looked at her made her feel uneasy, as if she was the prey and he was the predator. Well, Angelique Pécheur didn't have an idea how right she was and this predator was just behind her.

Damon was right behind her. This woman amused him. She was walking alone towards the cemetery in the night, when every supernatural being could attack her. As if she wasn't aware of the dangers in this world. Not only could a vampire attack her but also the wicked humans could. Angelique entered the cemetery and walked to two graves. Damon was right behind her. The girl just stood there, she did not say anything. She just stood. Damon grew impatient, so he spoke.

"A beautiful girl like you alone in the cemetery screams troubles. Bad things might happen to you." Damon said as innocently as possible.

Angelique was surprised to see him here. Did he stalk her? So many questions rose, but she couldn't answer them. At first she was afraid, but she tried not to show it. However she felt somehow excited.

"What makes you think that I am alone?" Angelique asked coolly. Her question made the raven haired man in front of her to smirk.

"Well, let me see…There are no cars on the parking lot, so we came on foot. And there is nobody besides me and you, Angelique." Angelique shivered, the way he said her name it was like the sweetest word ever.

"You know my name. However, I don't know yours."

"Damon Salvatore, nice to meet you Angelique…" Well, he didn't know her last name.

"Angelique Pécheur."He smiled.

"Do you know that pécheur means sinner in French?" Angelique could tell that Damon was one of those guys who had any woman they wanted. But Angelique was one of those girls who had any man they wanted. She found it interesting to be around him. She felt there is a danger, it was thrilling and she was enjoying it. She smiled.

"And do you know that salvatore means savior in Italian?" Damon smiled not only that she was beautiful, but also very smart. He liked her. It would be a pity if a girl like her died accidently.

"Touché… However, aren't you afraid to be here alone?"

"Firstly, I am not alone, you are here. Secondly what could happen?" Damon smirked there was something off about her, as if she was seeking trouble and hoping to die.

"What if I am a freak or a serial killer? I can kill you and easily dispose of your body." For a moment Angelique thought that he might be some kind of freak. She was a bit afraid. No one knew that she was going to the cemetery. Her car was left at the Lockwood's. And her mobile was left in the car. But he couldn't be a freak, could he?

"Really? And what are you going to do? Rip my throat or slay me? Or you have something different in your mind?" Damon was amazed by her. He could tell that she was afraid her heartbeat had been speeding up, but she really tried to stay calm hard. He was just couple step away from her. And her scent was driving him crazy. There was something in her that he couldn't find in any other woman, neither in Elena nor in Katherine.

"Well, Angelique, it was nice meeting you. You are special and it is pity?" Angelique couldn't understand about what he was talking.

"What is pity?" She asked. Damon smirked and Angelique thought for a second that she saw something wild and evil in his beautiful crystal blue eyes. It was like she was enchanted by those eyes. An instinct older than the civilization was telling her to run, to run for her life, but she didn't listen to it. Angelique didn't want to run, on the contrary she wanted to stay.

"That you have to die." Damon touched her chic gently. Angelique felt how her blood ran cold. She was scared, afraid, but excited of what would happen. Just in few second Damon pushed her toward him. Angelique felt a sharp pain in her throat. Damon started to drink of her blood. Damon couldn't believe what he was doing. He had promised Elena not to feed on humans and right now he was feeding of Elena's sister. In this moment he didn't care much of Elena. All he was thinking about was the woman in his arms. Her blood tasted magnificent. It was like to give an alcoholic a bottle of old wine. But what amazed him even more was that Angelique wasn't fighting, so he pulled out his fangs and looked in her eyes. Her eyes were blank and she was calm.

"What are you waiting for? Are you going to end me or not?" Angelique asked in low voice. She knew that the man in front of her would be her end. She didn't mind dying. She wasn't supposed to be even alive and she knew that perfectly. She saw the confusion in Damon's eyes. Damon caressed her chic again. He couldn't kill her and it wasn't because of Elena.

"I will not end you and you won't die on my hands, Angelique. I told you, you are special and quite different." Damon kissed her. Angelique was surprised to let a stranger kiss her, but what surprised her was that she actually deepened the kiss. It was like that kiss brought her into a brave new world. Damon broke the kiss to let her breathe. Damon felt weak. "I am sorry that you won't remember it." He whispered in her ear.

"Why I won't remember it?"

"Because I will tell you not to remember." Then he bit his wrist. "Drink." And Angelique drank. He was quite surprised that she listened to him. "Now look at my eyes. Angelique, you was alone at the cemetery and haven't met anybody. You will go straight home safely." Angelique couldn't understand why but she had to do what she was said to.

"I was alone at the cemetery and haven't met anybody. I will go straight home safely."

With that Damon disappeared, he hid in the shadows.

Angelique stayed at the cemetery and suddenly she felt like going home. She threw one last glance to the graves of her parents and smiled sadly. She headed to the entrance. Before she stepped out of the cemetery she turned around and looked at the shadows. Angelique had the feeling that there was somebody in the shadows waiting for her. The girl was tempted to check if there was anyone, but decided against it. She had to go home right now, so she left.

Damon stood in the shadows watching the blond girl leaving. He really did find her special, he wasn't lying when he told her. Damon saw how Angelique stopped and turned and looked right where he was standing. Suddenly he was angry. He wasn't angry with her. He was angry with himself for being weak around her. He never felt so weak around woman before.

"See you around Angelique Pécheur." Damon whispered and disappeared.
