Chapter 10

Marcel walks into the library and finds Diego and Thierry sat there.

"So?" asks Thierry.

"She's a doppelganger, she has a very complex and unpleasant history with the originals, and she's lost a lot, her story checks out" replies Marcel getting a drink.
"What now?" asks Diego.
"She's staying for a bit, and she understands why I did what I did, but I need to make this up to her in a big way, I mean over the top romance" muses Marcel.

"Well we can do that" smiles Thierry.

"Yes I think we can" agrees Marcel a plan already forming in his head as to what to do.

The next morning Elena walks down into the courtyard and finds Thierry playing a tune on his trumpet.

She stops and listens until he finishes.

"Hey that was nice" she smiles.

"Thanks" he smiles.

She drops down next to him, "so Marcel fill you in on everything?" she asks.

"Yeah, sorry" apologises Thierry.

"I get it, I do, it sucks majorly but I do and I figured you for right hand man" smiles Elena.

"Yeah, he is a good person really and he likes you, like he really likes you, and I'm glad you're sticking around" says Thierry.

"Me too, I think this could be a place worth staying for now at least, a new start, now everything is out in the open, even if I do plan on milking this a bit longer" says Elena.

"I'm sure you can, and I know Marcel hopes you will, and you seem nice, now I know everything you said was true, and that is totally justified" adds Thierry.

"I guess we'll see, I'm still a stranger in this town" says Elena.

"You won't be for long especially if you keep hanging with Marcel and you know word gets around your dating him" smiles Thierry.

"I don't know if you can call it that, a couple of kisses in an alley and agreeing to a date" says Elena.

"Well I guess we'll see" says Thierry.

"What about you, you and your witch?" asks Elena.

"Yeah my girlfriend Katie, she's something else would you like to meet her?" he asks.

"I'd love too" smiles Elena.

They head out of the compound and he leads her through until they come to a shop, they walk inside and Elena is greeted by an assortment of smells.

"Katie" calls Thierry.

A pretty woman a little older than herself appears.

"Thierry" she smiles walking forwards and kissing him.

Elena looks down at the floor.

"Katie this is Elena, she's a new vampire in town, Elena this is my girlfriend Katie" smiles Thierry.

"New vampire and Marcel's already given you a daylight ring?" asks Katie.

"No I'm from out of town, I wasn't turned my Marcel" she replies.

"How do you have a ring then?" asks Katie.
"My best friend is a witch, a Bennett actually" explains Elena.

"A Bennett witch, wow, I bet she's pretty powerful" says Katie.

"Scarily so, but she's still my best friend, she spelled mine and my other best friends for us" smiles Elena.

"Most witches don't like vampires" says Katie.

"Well we've known each other since we were in kindergarten and she didn't turn her back on us after we were turned, but other than that she isn't really a fan" replies Elena.

"Yeah we're willing to make an exception for some vampires" smiles Katie as she looks a Thierry who smiles right back.

"We make it work" agrees Thierry.

Elena just looks at them for a moment, seeing a happy couple was something that had happened for awhile, what with Caroline's problems with Tyler, Jeremy leaving Bonnie, Matt and his issues with Rebekah, and she and the Salvatore's it was a mess.

"You're different from a lot of the other vampire's here, your purer somehow I guess, I get a strong aura from you and its nice" smiles Katie studying Elena.

"Well, I guess that's good to know, my sire always said my compassion would be my downfall when I'm a blood sucking monster, as I've been called" sighs Elena.

"Well Elena stop by anytime, if Thierry trusts you then so do I" smiles Katie.

"Thanks, I don't know many people here" replies Elena.

They left a few minutes later.

"She's nice" smiles Elena.

"She is, like I said Marcel's fine with it, so we're all good" smiles Thierry as they walk.

"Your loyal to Marcel, but your not just someone he sired, you're his friend, how did you end up like this if I can ask?" asks Elena.

"Alright, I tell you mine if you tell me yours" he offers.

"Deal" she nods.

"Well it was the 1940s, and I was a soldier, Marcel found me dying outside off a VA hospital, he turned me and we've been friends, ever since, I owe him my life" smiles Thierry.

"That's really sweet" smiles Elena.

"Now your turn" says Thierry.

"Mine is not quite as merciful or noble, I was stuck in a tug of war between two vampire brothers, one was noble and soft and kind, the other was impulsive, and sometimes cruel and callous, but he also had a soft side, problem was he was willing to sacrifice anything and anyone for me, but anyway, after Klaus almost drained me dry to use my blood to make more hybrids, my friend Tyler came to rescue me, and he and Klaus fought, I hit my head, hard, a few hours later I collapsed from a cerebral haemorrhage, the doctor gave me vampire blood to save me, Damon's vampire blood, then Rebekah Mikaelson was kind enough to force my friend Matt and I off the bridge that killed my parents and almost me before, but this time I told Stefan to save Matt and he did, I thought I was going to die, but instead I woke up and here I am" explains Elena.

"You said the reason you were turned wasn't noble or merciful, Elena you gave your own life to save your best friend, if that's not I don't know what is, sure you didn't know you had vampire blood in your system, but that doesn't make it any less noble, a lot of people would love to have a friend they knew would give their life for them" says Thierry.

"I guess, but eventually I just figured I needed to get out, be a vampire my way, not someone else's and I guess I got lucky arriving in a town run by vampires" chuckles Elena.

"I guess so, anyway I'm headed over to the compound want me to walk you back?" he asks.

"Sure" she nods.

A/N So do we like the Thierry/Elena friendship, obviously I am altering events of the show but I will be utilising them as always follow, fav or review :)
