[ ...ah. right. jenna wouldn't know about her being a vampire, having died more than six months before it happened. now elena shuffles uncomfortably, averting her eyes from jenna's. she doesn't know how to come out and say it -- jenna's like a parent to her, and considering how her actual parents felt about vampires, elena's not sure how jenna will take this. no matter that she is one now herself, jenna never wanted to be a part of this life. it was elena that got her dragged into it. she's pretty sure that jenna won't suddenly hate her, but... she might look at her differently, and elena's not sure she could take that. ]

After you... after. A few months later, I died with vampire blood in my system. I had had a brain hemorrhage and the doctor wanted to save me, so she gave me the blood without telling anyone. The next night, I died, and... Well. Here I am.

[ elena gives a little shrug and a rueful smile, anxiously watching jenna's face for any trace of how she feels about this revelation. ]
