In The Vampire Diaries book series ("The Struggle") by L.J. Smith, Damon gives Elena his blood. Later in the novel Elena gets into a car accident, dies, and becomes a vampire. In the TVD television series Elena has not been turned into a vampire...yet. She wants to be with Stefan, but they haven't discussed how this will happen. It's assumed by the fans that eventually Elena will become a vampire.
Because Elene exchanged blood with Stephan and Damon, she the get's killed by Katherine (in a storm, drowning in a car). But because of the vampire blood in her body she turns into a vampire. So the change to vampire was an accident.
