well in the book of TVD...elena did turn into a vampire....because of the blood exchange done due to stefan and damon....she died by drowning and woke up as a vampire....
then she was burned into ashes... she died even in her vampire life....then she came back into her human form once again...
if go by the TV series than elena is not a vampire yet...but in the book form....elena was a human...she died and woke up as a vampire...and she died in her vampire life...and came back as a human...
in my point of view...its not unique.....they just change a little bit....from full vampire form...they made her into half-vampire form.....
when elena came as vampire...she had all the powers and her craving of blood started....
so here piya is going through the same stage as well....the only difference is elena is a full form vampire when she woke up from her death...but then piya is a half-vampire which abhay needs to find a way to fix it......
the difference is the 3 full moon bites...TVD and Twilight does not have such concept.....TVD only one bite...and the vampire blood needs to go into the human system than the transformation happens
