A/N Sorry for the wait on the update I was re-working things a little but I am on a roll again.
I do not own TO or TVD, nor any of their characters.
Chapter 3
Marcel looks at Elena, she was so unlike anyone he'd ever met, she'd sussed him out instantly, and her compassion just shone out of her, but her eyes held the scars of the pain she'd experienced.
"So will you be staying awhile?" asks Marcel.
"Maybe if I have a reason" she replies playing with her drink.
"Would you like a tour, I'm sure I could convince you too give my fair city a chance" suggests Marcel.
"I'd love too" she replies.
They finish their drinks before Marcel guides her outside, a hand on the small of her back.
"So a few rules, just basics to ensure the peace and the safety of everyone, don't feed on the locals, don't kill anyone, don't leave a trail of bodies around the quarter, and please don't kill any of my vampires, tourists are good for feeding on, and watch out for the witches, but they know the restrictions, and we should get along just fine" he says.
"Who says I'm staying that long?" she teases.
"By the time I'm done showing you around, you'll be begging to stay" he replies.
"We'll see" smiles Elena.
He leads her all over New Orleans pointing out all his favourite places, and each time with a story to go with them.
As dark began to fall Elena was convinced.
"Fancy something to eat, you haven't eaten all day" he says.
"Why not?" she shrugs.
They head out into the tourist area and are instantly surrounded by hundreds of people.
"Wow, it's like an all you can eat buffet" she whistles.
"Like I said just don't kill, and don't feed on the locals" he says.
"No worries, I don't do killing" promises Elena.
"I didn't think you would" he nods.
They locate a couple heading down an alleyway and follow them.
Suddenly the flash forwards Elena pins the man while Marcel pins the woman.
"Don't scream this won't hurt" she compels before biting down into his neck.
"This isn't going to hurt so don't make a sound" compels Marcel before sinking his fangs into her neck.
A few moments later they both pull back.
Marcel bites his wrist and heals the girl while Elena follows suit.
"Leave and forget about this, you got lost" compels Marcel.
"Go with your girlfriend, forget this happened and treat her like she's the best thing in your life" compels Elena.
The couple walk off.
"I like that last part" smiles Marcel as he hands her a tissue.
"Creative license" shrugs Elena as she wipes off the blood.
Marcel finishes and looks at Elena.
"You missed a spot" he says and walking over so he's in her personal space he wipes the blood off of her lip with his thumb before licking his own thumb.
"Any more that I missed?" she asks.
"Not that I can see, do I?" he asks.
She looks at him, clean break, none of her past, and she likes Marcel, plus he was hot.
"Yeah just a bit" she says and leaning forward she kisses him.
He responds instantly backing her up against the wall as one of his arms wraps around her waist pulling her flush against him, her arms wrapping around his shoulders.
After a few moments they pull apart but don't step away.
"Yeah I think I got it all" she smiles.
"I'm not sure I did" he replies and kisses her again this time it was hard and fast, their tongues tangling around each other.
Marcel breaks the kiss and brushes a strand of hair behind her ear before running his hand down her cheek.
"So have I convinced you to stay?" he asks.
"You had me at let me give you a tour" she replies.
"Good, I'd like to see where this goes" he smiles.
"Me too" agrees Elena.
"So where are you staying?" asks Marcel.
"I have a hotel room" she replies.
"Care to see my castle?" he asks.
"An actual castle, I think I'd have noticed that" she smiles.
"Isn't every man's home his castle" chuckles Marcel.
"I suppose so, lead the way Marcel" smiles Elena.
He takes her hand and leads her through the quarter.
As they reach the compound he leads her inside.
"Wow" she gasps.
A/N So do we like? Let me know in the reviews, but for those of you thinking this is all sunshine and roses, things are going to start to get a little more complicated in the next few chapters, after all when you have a doppelganger, nothing is ever easy ;)
Follow, fav and review, and thank you to all those who have.
