"Roman are you okay?". Elena walked toward him,but stopped before she actually got near. Stefan was still standing in the same spot,looking on in shock. Roman ran his hand through his hair,his eyes searched the ground,he was looking for words. After a moment Roman replied,though not meeting Elena or Stefan's eyes.

"We don't have to worry about Markus anymore". Roman said the words with no emotion,the look on his face was just utter disappointment,he then sped past both Elena and Stefan, into the house and up the stairs. Elena and Stefan looked at each other,both in a cross between confusion and shock,wondering what had happened.

Two weeks later

Elena was searching the house for Bonnie. Truth be told she was getting a little impatient, she had been in this world for about two and a half weeks and they had told her nothing on how they were progressing on how to get her home, so she wanted to talk to Bonnie for any information,she found Stefan in the Library, he was sorting through some books, he looked up when he saw her enter

"Hey". Elena walked closer to him.

"Hey,do you know where Bonnie is?". Stefan's eyebrows creased in thought for a moment.

"Umm..she is out at the store right now, why?,What's up". Stefan picked up some of the books and went to stack them back on the shelves. Elena ran a hand through her hair.

"I just...I was hoping she could tell me if you guys have made any progress on how you're gonna get me home. I mean if you even can". Stefan looked back at her with sympathy.

"I know the waiting around has to be a little frustrating,maybe even scary,but Elena I promise you we are doing everything we can, but we aren't sure exactly what got you here,so finding a way to get you back home is tricky,but when we have something solid. I promise we will tell you okay". Elena nodded at him,but she was bit disappointed to hear that,but she supposed there was nothing more she could do at this point, so she turned to leave the library.

"Wait". Elena turned back around and Stefan approached her with a smirk.

"We didn't get to finish our conversation a few weeks ago". Elena looked at him confused for a moment before it dawned on her, they had been asking about each other's world before the Roman incident happened. Speaking of Roman, she actually had not seen him since.

"Right,but before we get into that, have you seen Roman since that happened? I've been wondering if he's okay". Stefan sighed.

"I've seen him once or twice, he still hasn't said exactly what happened. I think he's just trying to clear his head". Elena nodded.

"I Hope so...but anyway, I think it was your turn to ask a question". Stefan smiled, eager to learn about where Elena was from, he thought for a moment, wondering what he wanted to ask.

"So we were together in your world, what's the story with that?". Elena's face dropped a bit at that question, the Stefan and Elena story was a long complicated one, she didn't really know what to say. Stefan noticed and quickly interrupted her thoughts, he hadn't intended to bring up painful memories, he had really only intended to make her blush.

"I can ask something else if". Elena shook her head cutting him off.

"No it's okay, it's just complicated, but a long story short. I loved you, you loved me,then something happened that changed me and I broke your heart". Stefan nodded,though he looked a bit unsettled.

"Why?, What happened?". Elena ran her hand through her hair and sighed.

"There was an accident and it changed me, as in vampire". Stefan's eyebrows rose in slight shock.

"You're a vampire?, but?". Elena immediately cut him off.

"Not anymore". Stefan's eyebrows creased in confusion, then a knowing look dawned on his face.

"The cure". Elena nodded at him.

"You know about the cure?". Stefan then nodded back at her.

"Fellow recipient...about two years ago". Elena's eyes widened a bit, she remembered that the Stefan in her world had taken the cure around the same time, but it had not even dawned on her that this Stefan had. Stefan interrupted her thoughts though, he decided to get back to the original subject.

"But, why did you break my heart?, why could we not be together after you were turned?". Elena's expression became unreadable, it seemed like she was not sure what to say.

"Umm...a little thing called Damon". Stefan seemed a bit stunned, before he nodded in acceptance, it wasn't like it had happened to him, well it had, but another him, in another world, but it seemed like it had to be painful, so he decided he didn't really want to talk about it anymore. Stefan and Elena just stood in silence for a few moments, each trying to decide what to say next, then Stefan's phone went off.

"Sorry, it's important, I have to take this, but we can talk more later". Elena nodded at him in agreement. Stefan then turned to take the phone call and Elena turned and left the library, relief filling her face, that had not been a pleasant conversation. Elena exited the library.

"So both my brothers". Elena jumped, and turned to see Roman leaning against the wall outside the library, with a teasing smirk on his face. Elena trying to catch her breath slapped him on the arm.

"Don't do that..and were you eavesdropping?". Roman shrugged.

"Wasn't trying to. I was just walking by and I overheard, being what I am it's a bit difficult to turn off my ears...plus when I heard you talking about yourself my curiosity aroused...you're very interesting to me". Elena's mouth opened for a moment, she was searching for words, a bit taken aback by his statement.

"Umm thanks...I think". Roman laughed.

"I meant it as a good thing, sorry if I'm being a bit creepy. I haven't really talked to anyone but Stefan and Bonnie in a long time". Elena nodded, remembering how Roman was a bit shy when she first arrived, although he had managed to talk to her within the first day he met her, so how bad could it really be.

"Yeah..but speaking of interesting. Roman I haven't seen you in two weeks, where have you been?". Roman's face dropped, his eyes searching the ground for a moment before looking back up.

"I ummm...I've been around, I just didn't really know what to say, so I just kind of avoided every one, until I could clear my head. I mean showing up covered in blood,it can be a little disconcerting to those around you". Elena nodded again and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, she could understand what he meant,so she asked her next question with a bit of caution.

"I get it, Truthfully it was a little scary, but, Roman what exactly was it?. I mean what happened?". Roman sighed.

"Well Markus and his pack attacked me and to skip the sordid details. I won,they didn't". Elena took in his statement, she could only imagine how brutal the situation must have been for Roman to end up covered in blood that she was now sure was probably not his own, so she decided to change course of the conversation.

"So you heard what I said to Stefan in the library". Roman nodded. Elena smirked at him.

"So how is it fair that you now know some things about me, but I don't know much about you". Roman now returned her smirk.

"I guess it's not, so I guess my question to you is, what do you want to know?". Elena thought for a moment.

"Well, let's just start with how you exist". Roman gave her a mischievous grin.

"Well when a man and a woman love each other very much". Elena laughed while smacking her arm, Roman laughed with her.

"Not, what I meant. I mean in my world, I've never even heard of you. I'm not even sure you exist. Roman nodded at her and approached her.

"Well then I guess it's best we go get comfortable somewhere". Roman then began to lead Elena out of the hallway.

"Because girl I have one hell of a story to tell you".
