YAY!!! Hopefully it is. Because I am very sure Elena has to die and come back to life somewhere in the series. Only because it was in the book. But their not really following the book so..
Yes, they don't, but if she become vampire now and in book she was that too so.. I think that she might die in series and somehow come back to life. And I have that BIG hope that Damon will be human again like in books
