A/N So here we go chapter 2, I hope you enjoy.
DGfleetfox: Thanks this idea just came to me, actually while I was writing an Elena/Elijah fic I'm currently working on, and it wouldn't leave me alone :)
Dark Alana: I know, I was looking for some and found like next to none so I decided to write one.
Also I don't own any of the character in TO or TVD, I wish I did though
Chapter 2
He leads into a bar called Rousseau's and pulls her seat out for her before taking his own.
"Wow, it has been a while since someone did that for me, you do show your age" smiles Elena.
"Its habit, always used to be the norm so I never stopped, plus it always seems to win me points" he smiles before ordering two scotches for them.
"So you still haven't told me why you needed a clean break" says Marcel as their drinks arrive.
"Guy problems, I was caught up in a love triangle I guess, two brothers ironically enough, and I realised that a relationship with either one was not only toxic for me but also for them, they've been brother for like 160 years and I didn't want to be the rift that drove them apart, so I packed up and I left" she replies.
"How long have you been a vampire, I mean I know it's rude to ask a lady her age, but it does have a purpose?" he asks.
"I'm nineteen, actual nineteen, I've only been like this for maybe seven or eight months" replies Elena.
"You have remarkable control for such a new vampire" notes Marcel, she was surrounded by people and seemed unaffected.
"Well one of the brothers was a reformed Ripper so he made sure I had control, and my best friend Caroline was a control freak before she was turned, so now its like magnified, all in all I had some pretty good teachers" replies Elena.
"And your sire?" asks Marcel carefully knowing that in some cases it was a touchy subject.
"Damon, no he was anything but a control freak, with the vampire things, but he did teach me, snatch, eat, erase, if you're worried about a load of dead bodies turning up don't worry, I'm in control" she assures.
"Why did you leave?" he asks.
"He's one of the brothers and even though I loved him, as a vampire I guess I was different to the human girl he fell in love with, and despite our chemistry being really strong, the spark was just gone, that and he has always had this intense desire to protect me, but his idea of protecting me was controlling me, and I'm just not the sort of person who can deal with that" sighs Elena.
"I understand you strike me as more of a free spirit Elena" smiles Marcel as he regards her.
"I guess I am" she smiles.
"So you're used to being around vampires?" asks Marcel.
"My ex's are both vampires, so is my best friend, my Aunt was too until she was killed, my birth mother was until she died, my best friend is a witch, my other friend is a werewolf, or was a werewolf, long story, and my brother and my guardian are also hunters, my family dynamic is pretty complicated" says Elena.
"And your parents?" asks Marcel.
"They died in a car crash, I don't have anyone but my brother left as family now, my Aunt who was raising us after our parents died was murdered, then I found out I was adopted and my birth mother used me to get something, but then she killed herself I watched her rip off her daylight necklace and burn to ash in front of me, and my biological father who I'd always thought was my uncle died protecting me, and my guardian as it turns out dated my aunt before she died and was also the husband of my birth mother, and both the brothers I've dated have also dated one of my ancestors" explains Elena trying to ignore the image of Klaus staking Jenna in front of her.
Marcel reaches over and takes her hand, "I'm sorry, I know how much loss can hurt, I was born the child of a slave my father was her owner, and obviously he didn't acknowledge me, then a visiting family saw me and they rescued me, they raised and in time I fell in love with the sister, but her brother a man I looked at as a father he didn't like it, so he removed her temporarily and gave me the choice of getting her back as a human or being turned, I chose being turned, she never forgave me, eventually they left and I've been the king here ever since" says Marcel sadly.
"You did it for her" says Elena.
"What do you mean?" asks Marcel.
"I mean the reason you chose to turn, you did it for her, you knew if you had her back as a human you'd either die or she'd have turned and her brother wouldn't have liked it, instead you chose to wait for her" smiles Elena.
"I guess I did, she never saw it that way though" he sighs.
This time Elena takes his hand, "her lose" says Elena.
A/N So to clarify I am going off of the flashbacks we've seen in TO, and I will be using elements and scenes from it, I'll introduce some of the characters over time, but there is no Haley baby, so the witches will not be an issue in that respect other than wanting Davina back, and obviously Marcel will have no interest in Cami, as always, follow, fav and review please :)
P.S. I am a die hard Delena shipper for the TV show (have been since we met him in Series 1) so Damon and Elena will be on good terms in this fic
