Inaction's and Consequences

Chapter 1

Disclaimer: I do not own anything related to TheVampire Diaries, TV show or books. However I decided to have a littleplay around with the characters (I would definitely like to play withDamon).

As she arrived at the Salvatore boarding house, Elena was quietlyexcited and a little apprehensive at the same time. Only just over anhour earlier, Stefan had given her a daylight ring, which was, as faras daylight rings go, quite pretty. In typical Stefan fashion, he hadmanaged to make it feel like a romantic occasion by giving it to heras they sat on top of the roof of the boarding house just as the sunwas beginning to rise. Unfortunately the romantic moment was soonover as it was now time for the business end of being a vampire tostart, the part she had been dreading, which was learning how to huntand feed. Elena had been adamant that she didn't want to hurt peopleand Stefan wholly supported her decision and thought that it would bea good idea to jump straight onto the bunny diet. Safe to say, Damonwas totally against it and although it turned out that he was hersire, as far as Elena was concerned, she'd made her choice when shechose Stefan that night on Wickery Bridge, so Stefan, as herboyfriend got the winning vote. After that particular argument, whichhad led to Damon throwing a glass in the fire, Elena had stormed out,run home, got showered and changed, and had just arrived back tostart her first hunting lesson with Stefan.Elena walked into thehouse quietly and could hear the boys talking up in Stefan's room.Deciding to try out her new vampire skills, she silently vamp-sped tothe bottom of the Stefan's stairs, and quietly listened in to theirconversation. Initially all Elena could hear were rustling noisescombined with what sounded like drawers being opened and closed,Elena assumed that Stefan must be packing for their trip. Elena knewthat they probably were unaware of her being there so she waiteduntil they inevitably started to argue, which predictably didn't takelong.

"You're making a big fucking mistake." Elena heard Damonwarn Stefan.

"No, I'm not." Elena heard Stefan reply. "If I canget Elena used to animal blood right out the gate..."

"You're reaching." Damon interjected.

"...Maybe she'll be able to bypass all the things that wewent through." Stefan continued, practically ignoring Damon.

"Delusional!" Damon sang.

"Maybe she actually has a shot at this." Stefancontinued, although Elena wasn't sure whether Stefan was talking toDamon or just reassuring himself.

"Wrong. You're just wrong, Stefan." Damon argued back.

"She won't be able to handle it if she hurts someone, Damon."Stefan explained. "Her compassion is her Achilles heel andeverything is magnified right now." Elena smiled at Stefan beingso thoughtful.

"Then you better fucking hope she's not a fan of Bambi."Damon said, Elena nodded, he did have a point, she did find deercute. However, Elena nearly jumped out of her skin when she suddenlyheard a thud which sounded like metal piercing wood. She hoped thebrothers weren't playing rough. "She needs human blood, Stefan,from the vein." Damon continued. Elena shook her head, shedidn't want to hurt anyone. She wanted to pretend she was still humanwith a small dietary change.

"Oh, come on, you know what the fuck happens. You name me avampire who didn't kill at least one person when they were new."Stefan argued back, Elena nodding her head in agreement, although shewas slightly surprised by the language coming from the brothers.They'd never swore in front of her before, however now that she hadsuper hearing, she was probably going to hear a lot of things shedidn't normally get to hear.

"You name me one vampire who went on a bunny diet and didn'tkill dozens." Damon retaliated, now that caught Elena'sattention. Would going straight to the bunny diet cause problems?
