13 - After School Special
Amelia sat on the floor comfortably, leaned against the lockers in one of the High School corridors, waiting patiently for Caroline and Bonnie to come out of the assembly. Caroline had forced her to come and wait for them, since she didn't trust Amelia to be on her own after the Damon lie revelation. Plus, she wanted her there to support her afterwards.
Due to Klaus finding out what the Hybrids were planning, he killed them all except Tyler, and killed Carol Lockwood instead of Tyler himself. So, every student in this assembly, are there to pay their respects to Carol Lockwood.
While she was waiting, Amelia decided to write something, that she hadn't wrote for a while.
Dear Damon,
It's feels strange to be writing these again, ever since you came back into my life, I haven't felt the need to write to you. But, recently, things between us have changed. I had hoped now we have each other in our lives again, we would grow closer, act on things that have happened between us in the past.
Though, this is just not the case. If anything, we everything going on, we have just grown further apart. You've lied and kept secrets from me, and I'm keeping a secret from you, one I know is going to make everything worse then it already is.
You've slept with the Doppelganger bitch, and I've slept with your brother. To think at one point, things were going well. We had been a date together, which given the circumstances went really well, leaving us in good place. Then, it all just went downhill.
I'm not sure what I'm meant to do anymore. I don't want to loose you, Damon, but I can't keep doing this. Going round in circles of pain and misery. The past is repeating itself, you chose Katherine over me, and now you're choosing Elena over me. I refuse to keep being second best.
You need to make a decision on what, well, who you want. Well, so does Doppelganger bitch, as I won't let her keep stringing Stefan along like she has.
Forever Yours, Amelia

Reading it over once and sighing, she folds it up and puts it away, then taps her fingers against the floor as she waits for Caroline. If she has her way, she would be alone drinking, but of course that isn't the case.
"Well, well, well. Aren't you a sight for sore eyes" A British voice comments, making the girl snap her head up from the ground, and stare shocked at the person above her.
"Rebekah" Amelia states, getting to her feet nervously and gulping, realizing this was a very bad thing.
She loved the female Original, but she is meant to be daggered. Stefan told her what had happened, and what had led to the girl being daggered, and she was meant to stay that way for a while.
"Hello, Amelia, love. Sorry in advance for this, but you're late for class" And before she can question her, everything goes dark as Rebekah snaps the Evans girl neck, and lets her body fall to the ground lifeless.
***************
Groaning in slight pain, Amelia groggily opens her eyes, and takes in her new surroundings. Before she figures out exactly where she is, she sees Elena and April Young stood nearby, making her let out another groan.
"I'm kill you, Bekah, I swear to God" She mutters bitterly, sitting up and glaring at the two girls now staring at her "Anyone want to explain what the hell is going on ?"
Elena just shrugs, with a genuine look of confusion on her face, while April just remains silent. Looking between for a second, Amelia just scoffs "Well, hell will freeze over before I get trapped with you two for the day" With that, she stands and walks toward the door to leave, ignoring the fact Elena was now following her.
The pair get stopped in their tracks though, when Rebekah appears in the doorway "Sorry, not allowed. Why don't you both take a seat ? The rest of the class will be here shortly ?" Neither girls get to argue or retaliate, as Rebekah compels to do exactly as she says, before leaving to the gather the the rest of the 'Class'
Soon enough, Caroline is now compelled and sat with them, April standing to the side awkwardly watching them. They are all sat in silence, until Rebekah walks back in with Stefan in toe, making Elena jump to her feet "Stefan" She breaths out.
"Did I say you could get up ?" Rebekah asks coldly, and Elena glares but sits back down, all of them watching as she compels Stefan just like she did the rest.
"Class is in session. You've all been compelled. You know the rules. Answer my questions honestly, no disobedience, no one leaves" Rebekah reminds them all in a strict tone, before looking over at April "April, my sweet, take notes. This is how you get answers in this town"
"Let's start with a little quiz. In the year 1114, my brother learned...thanks to yours truly... about a brotherhood of Vampire Hunters with tattoos that grow with each kill. And these tattoos reveal what ? Elena ?" Rebekah fires at the Doppelganger, a glare never leaving Elena's face as she grudgingly answers.
"A map"
"Which lead to, Caroline ?" She questions, now looking at the second Blonde Vampire in the room.
"A cure for Vampirism" Caroline sighs in answer.
"Perfect. We're all caught up" She says, clapping and rubbing her hands together in delight, before looking at the Salvatore in the room "Stefan Salvatore, the last time we saw each other, you had a Vampire Hunter, but in order to decode the map, you needed the location of the Hunter's sword, which you got out of me using some very dirty tricks. Assuming you found the sword, you must of found the cure, and yet you're all still Vampires, which means something went wrong"
Rebekah stops at this point, and glances at April, who is sat writing everything down in detail "What are you doing ?"
"You asked me to take notes" April replies timidly, making Rebekah smirk.
"I wasn't being literal, darling. But now that you mention it, a flow chart would be nice, which means index cards and push pins. Go fetch" And just like a dog, April runs off to get those exact items, bringing much amusement to the Original.
"This is pointless" Amelia moans, making Rebekah look at her "You're not gonna get anything out of us"
"She right, this is pointless" Stefan agrees "You're wasting your time. We don't know anything"
"So you just gave up ? I thought you'd do anything to save Elena, even if it meant taking the cure yourself so you could grow old and die with her" Rebekah reminds, making a look of complete surprise appear on Elena's face, and Stefan tries hard not to look in her direction.
"Why do you look surprised ?" Rebekah asks, puzzled by the look on Elena's face "I'm missing something. What is it ?"
"Trust me, you don't want to know" Amelia says, as Elena and Stefan remain deadly silent, but Rebekah refuses to let the matter drop.
Growing frustrated, Caroline lets out a groan "They broke up, okay ? Now let us go"
A smirk grows on the Originals face, knowing now she will be able to have some fun with them "Wait. I'm confused. I thought Elena was your epic love, Stefan. I asked you what happened, you have to tell me"
Unlike people thought, Stefan doesn't hesitate to answer, and looks angrily in Elena's direction as he does "She slept with Damon"
***************
The tension was so thick at that point, you could of cut through it with a knife. Elena was shocked Stefan even knew, and Stefan was angry and hurt. Rebekah wasn't helping the situation, but there was no way in stopping her continuing this, she was having too much fun.
"So, Vampire Elena is trollop who likes bad boys, which explains why Stefan reeks of alcohol. But what it doesn't explain is why sweet, loving, innocent Elena could be so heartless toward Stefan ? And also, why she is still breathing, given this must of made sweet Amelia snap , given her very clear liking for the Eldest Salvatore. How could she hurt you like that ? Why would you let her get away with it ? Answer please ?" Rebekah demands, looking between Stefan and Amelia impatiently.
"She didn't know it at the time, but she was sired to Damon" Stefan answers first, while Amelia looks unsure on what to say.
"Come on, love, tell me. We're friend, are we not ?" Rebekah pushes, looking directing at the Evan's girl.
"At this moment, Bekah, friends is pushing it" Amelia replies with a glare "Can we just drop this please" She then pleads.
"No. You're hiding something, I can see it in your face. Come on, sweetheart, let it out ? Why have you let Elena live ? What are you not telling me ?" Rebekah pushes on, leaning right over the girl at this point.
"I didn't kill Elena, because of how Stefan and Damon feel about her, that and I knew the cure gave us a chance at fixing things" Amelia finally answers, but Rebekah just shakes her head, not satisfied with the answer.
"No, there is still something you're not saying. So, come on, out with it" Rebekah this time compels, leaving Amelia with no other choice but to answer.
"I slept with Stefan, the night I found out Elena slept with Damon" Amelia answers in a monotone voice, before looking down and away from everyone, feeling all eyes fall on her.
"No freaking way" Caroline practically shouts, unable to hide the surprise from the revelation "In my spare room as well, what the hell guys ?"
"A sire bond, and a dirty one night stand, Fascinating. And what do you think of that, Elena ?" Rebekah carries on, looking at the Doppelganger, who has a mixture of emotions written all over her face.
"I think you're sad and bored and in desperate need of a hobby" Elena snarls back, folding her arms over her chest and glaring furiously at Rebekah, with a look that could kill if it wanted to.
Rebekah simply tuts "Yet again, just like Amelia you're hiding something. Fess up"
"I didn't sleep with Damon because of the sire bond. I slept with Damon because I'm in love with him. Whatever happened between Amelia and Stefan isn't my business, but it does hurt to know about" Elena answers finally, her teeth gritted.
Rebekah then turns on her heel, and looks at Amelia "And you, why did you sleep with Stefan ? She compels the girl to answer.
"I slept with Stefan, because I was hurt Damon slept with Elena, not because I'm in love with him. I'm in love with Damon" She answers dryly, looking at Stefan sorrily when she sees the look on his face, unable not to be hurt by both girls answers.
Seeing the looks on all their faces, Caroline decides to intervene "What does any of this have to do with the stupid cure ?"
"You're right" Rebekah admits "We got off point. Stefan, how do I find the cure ? Unless you'd rather talk about Damon, Elena and Amelia all day ?"
"There's a Professor. He knows where the cure is" Stefan answers, refusing to look anyone in the eye at this point.
"Thank you. And, uh, where do I find this Professor ?"
**************
Everyone in the library is silent, everything that has came out at this point, making it pointless to try and speak. Everything is out in the open pretty much, making everything worse then it already was. All you could hear was the clock ticking, when the Library door opens, and yet another Original come barging in.
"Sister" Kol exclaims, before noticing the four sat at the table, and raising a eye at Rebekah "You're even worse then Klaus"
Amelia looks over at him and smirks "Ugh, you" She says teasingly, and Kol feigns hurt, shooting her a grin.
"Nice to see you too, sweetheart" He says, still with a playful grin, and Rebekah rolls her eyes at the pair.
"Kol, finally. Did you bring me what I asked for ?" She asks, looking at him in a demanding way, and with that Kol tugs Professor Shane inside the room.
Everyone looks at this confused, while Rebekah gives the Professor a fake smile "You must be Shane"
The two Originals then leave with the Professor, leaving the four Vampires stuck inside the library silently. Thinking things couldn't get much worse, Amelia lets out a sigh and rests her head on the desk, only looking up when Rebekah finally enters once again.
"Still glued to your seats ?" She questions mockingly, earning glares off them all "Ooh, it's thick with tension in here. Let's spice things up a bit. Elena, truth or dare ?"
"We're done playing your stupid games, Rebekah" Stefan finally snaps, done with everything at this point.
"Truth or dare, Elena ?" Rebekah carries on, ignoring Stefan "You're compelled. You must answer"
"Dare" The Doppelganger answers bravely, after thinking carefully for a moment.
"I dare you to tell Stefan the truth about Damon" Rebekah dares, and looks of dagger eyes fall on her.
"Seriously ?!" Caroline and Amelia shout at her in stereo, but Rebekah simply shrugs them off, and nods over to Elena to continue.
"Being with Damon makes me feel happy" Elena answers simply, making the Original frown at her unimpressed.
"Makes you happy ?" She repeats in slight disbelief "Clowns make you happy, Elena, dig a little deeper"
"When I'm with him... it feels unpredictable, like... like I'm free" Though, this answer isn't enough for Rebekah either, as a devious smirk appears on her face.
"And how'd you feel when you're with Stefan ?" She questions, and Amelia slams her hands down on the table angrily.
"Stop !"
"She can't. She's compelled" Rebekah snaps in reply, before looking at Elena to carry on, not caring what this is doing to all of them.
"Lately, I feel like I'm a project, like I'm a problem that needs to be fixed. I think I make him sad, and I can't be with someone like that because... When he looks at me, all he sees is a broken toy" Stefan is unable to hide the hurt on his face, both of them staring at one another, not sure if to say anything else or not.
"Do you still love Stefan ?"
"Yes"
"Are you in love with Stefan ?"
"No"
Rebekah then looks directly at Stefan, who is avoiding looking her in the eye "Did that hurt, having someone you love drive a dagger through your heart ?"
"Go to hell" The Youngest Salvatore spits furiously, but Rebekah doesn't give in, and leans down so she is speaking directly in his ear.
"Did...that...hurt ?" She repeats slowly.
"Yes" He grinds out, his fists clenched in anger.
"Welcome to the last 900 years of my life"
*************
Before Rebekah can cause them any more hurt, Tyler comes running through door of the library, stopping and looking at them all. Caroline eyes widen at the sight of him, worry and panic running through her, knowing Rebekah won't of brought him here for a good reason.
"Ah, good, you're here. It was just getting depressing" Rebekah comments, making Amelia scoff and roll her eyes.
"What the hell is going on ?" Tyler questions, looking between everyone in the room in deep confusion.
"Listen to the rule carefully" Rebekah begins, looking directly at the four compelled Vampires "Stay in the building. No Vamp running in the hallways"
"Vamp running from what ?" Caroline quickly asks, furrowing her eyebrows at the girl.
That is when Rebekah looks at Tyler "Turn" And looks of horror fall on everyone, looking at her like she is crazy.
"But he can't, he'll loose control" Caroline argues desperately.
"That's the whole point" Rebekah says in a 'duh' tone "I've exhausted all your knowledge. Now I have the Professor to help me find the cure, you're just competition. Whoever finds it first gets to decide what to do with it: Use it, share it, destroy it, save it... I want that to be me"
"But if I turn, I'll kill them" Tyler speaks up, sounding scared not only for himself, but for the lives of his friends.
"Yes, you will" Rebekah nods knowingly, then looks him straight in the eye to compel him "Turn"
Rebekah then goes to leave, but Amelia shouting stops her "Hey ! I thought we were friends ? You're just gonna leave me here to die ?"
Rebekah pauses and thinks for a moment, before sighing and speeding in front of the girl, looking her in the eye to compel her once again "Leave, before I change my mind. Do not come back to help your friends, just go"
The compulsion taking immediate effect, Amelia looks at Stefan and Caroline pained that she can't help, before Vamp speeding out of the High school.
Instead of going home though, Amelia stands in the parking lot, hoping and praying the others get of there somehow, alive and not bitten by Tyler. She tries to get back inside the School, but the compulsion ends up making her stuck at the threshold each time.
"Dammit" She shouts frustrated, repeatedly kicking the door at full strength, leaving a noticeable dent in it by the time she is done.
After a while, the doors open and Stefan and Elena walk out, followed shortly by Tyler and Caroline. Elena looks at Stefan wanting to talk, but he just walks ahead and refuses to look at her, so she sighs and heads in a different direction.
"Stef, wait" Amelia calls, jogging after him.
When Stefan stops and looks at her though, she receives a look she wasn't expecting "Did you know ? Did you Damon had slept with Elena, the night you slept with me ?" He demands, and words become unable to leave Amelia's mouth, not sure what to do or say.
"Stefan, I... I didn't want to hurt you" She finally sighs out.
"So you kept it from me, and I had to find out through Rebekah compelling you the truth" Stefan then looks down "Thanks, Amy. To think I actually thought I had you on my side. A true friend"
"Stefan" But he doesn't listen and just speeds off out of sight, leaving Amelia stood there alone.
***********
Amelia doesn't know why she called him later that evening, but she felt like she had lost everyone, and in this moment she needed him the most. All she could hope though, was that Elena hadn't told him about what came out in the High School. That she could at least tell him herself.
"Hey. I thought you hated me ?" Damon says as he answers his phone, sounding slightly surprised she is calling him.
"Oh, I do" She quickly says "But even though I hate, you're my Best Friend. And I could really use my Best Friend right now" At this, her voice begins to break, tears forming in the corners of her eyes, making concern take over Damon from the sound of her.
"Hey, hey, hey, what's wrong ?"
"I just need to see you, we need to talk" She says, holding back tears and composing herself slightly.
"Yeah, we do. I'm at the Gilbert Lake house, come to me"
"I'll be there soon"
So, Elena now knows, and Amelia and Stefan are going through a rough patch. Damon will find out next chapter. I'm working hard to get season 4 completely written, as I have a lot planned for the rest of this season and season 5
Hope you enjoyed this chapter :)
