At the school's Halloween party, Vicki was killed by Stefan when she lost control of her vampire side, devastating both Elena and Jeremy. As a result of this, she asked Damon to wipe Jeremy's memory of Vicki's death, making him believe she "had left town and was not coming back. It was for the best."

Elena was also a witness of Lexi's death at the hands of Damon and of the destruction of Bonnie's talisman in order to prevent Damon from freeing the vampires underneath the tomb, after which she told Bonnie the truth about everything. She got into a car accident when swerving to miss a vampire after spending the night with Stefan, subsequently discovering the photo of Katherine. He almost attacked her, but Damon appeared just in time to save her life. A pizza guy named Noah came one night and Jeremy invited him inside. He later turned out to be the vampire that was following her. He showed up at a dance and threatened to kill Jeremy if she didn't leave the dance. Elena ran into the hallway with the vampire following her. She ran into the cafeteria and managed to fight back, stabbing him with pencils, until Stefan and Damon arrived and killed him after interrogating him. He was shown to have been friends with Anna and Ben, fellow vampires. He knew Katherine, which was why he was stalking Elena. Ep19-delena-the-vampire-diaries-tv-show-12368767-2000-1333.jpg

After the tomb was opened, and the vampires were released, she helped Damon save Stefan from Frederick and the other vampires who were torturing him. When Frederick stabbed him, Elena gave Stefan her blood so he would survive. She consoled Matt when the news of Vicki's death had been revealed. However, Stefan became addicted to human blood, since he never learned how to control his cravings, and started drinking human blood that he stole from a blood bank behind Elena's back. When Damon told her what he'd been doing, they got into a fight, and Stefan attacked Amber, a girl in the competition for "Miss Mystic Falls," drank her blood, and almost killed her. Elena and Damon locked Stefan in the basement to try to get him back to normal.

When Bonnie's grandmother died, Bonnie left town for a while. After she came back, she started to blame Stefan and Damon for her grandmother's death and was angry with Elena. Elena tried to fix things, but Bonnie told her there was nothing she could do, and to just leave her alone. Bonnie came back to school and resents Stefan and Damon because the tomb vampires came out and there was no Katherine, so "Grams died for nothing." When Elena's mother came to town, she and Bonnie repaired their relationship and Bonnie pretended to unspell the Device. It was eventually activated on Founder's Day by John Gilbert. Damon caught up with Elena (who in fact was Katherine) on the porch of her home & they shared a passionate kiss, which was interrupted by Jenna.
The night ended with Elena arriving home after someone had taken her stuff. After entering the house, she heard a noise in the kitchen and went to investigate it, unaware that Katherine was in the room.

Elena found Damon to be an arrogant and self-absorbed sadistic monster; the complete opposite of his brother. The hostile tension between the two lessen after she spent the day with Damon at a bar in Georgia for his own personal agenda in releasing Katherine from the tomb. She warms up to Damon once he realized that Katherine wasn't trapped as he initially thought, comprehending with the fact that he is lonely and is desperately seeking love. The two later build somewhat of a close friendship, occasionally working together for the good of their friends and family.
After Elena refuses to kiss Damon, he kills Jeremy (but he was brought back by the Gilbert ring, so Elena said to him, you have lost me forever.) It is revealed that Damon is in love with Elena, in several episodes, but was much more clear when he told Elena himself in Rose (episode), but later compels her to forget it. And now there is a new story. In Katerina, Damon gets involved with Rose and they have sex, but Damon still loves Elena and will give his best effort to help save Elena. In The Sacrifice, Damon and Elena return to Mystic Falls to find Stefan trapped in the tomb with Katherine; Elena panics and tries to run to him, but Damon restrains her. Stefan then makes Damon promise to protect Elena and Damon promises. Katherine then says to Stefan that that was the biggest mistake he'd ever made, as she thinks Damon will try to make a move on Elena with Stefan out of the picture. Damon, however, doesn't make any move on her though he continues to love and protect her.

He also blames Elena for taking away his memories and says that it wasn't her call to make. He is only Elena's adoptive brother but it is found out that he is in fact her biological cousin. At the beginning of Season 2, Damon snaps Jeremy's neck after Elena snaps him emotionally, leaving Elena horrified and his friendship with her shattered. Though Jeremy came back as he was wearing the Gilbert Ring at the time of his "death". Elena continues to be cold to Damon throughout the season because of what he did to Jeremy though she eventually warms up to him. Elena loves Jeremy very much and goes to great lengths to protect him, even refusing his ring when she was linked to Katherine at the Masquerade Ball while the Salvatore Brothers were attacking Katherine, stating "No Jeremy, what I need is for you to be safe" . Jeremy has also grown closer to the Vampire stuff, and does the best he can for Elena, in Rose(episode) finds out that she is missing.
