Amelia took the drive to the Gilbert Lake house slow, thinking through in her mind what to say to Damon, how to tell him what happened in the best way possible. She didn't owe it to him to be gentle, it's not like he was going to tell her about sleeping with Elena, if it wasn't for Elena blurting it out at girl's night. 

When she pulls up in front of the wood cabin, it is completely empty, no one turning up when she shouts to be invited inside. She goes to get back in the car and leave, when she catches sight of three familiar faces running straight toward her, one of them covered in blood and looking weak.

"What the hell happened ?"  She shouts concerned, running over and putting Matt's arm that isn't swung over Elena's shoulder, over hers and helps carry him towards the cabin.

Instead of getting an answer though, Elena just glares at Amelia "What are you even doing here ?" She snaps, not showing any gratitude for the help whatsoever.

"Not that it is any of your business, but Damon invited me so we could talk. Now, I'm gonna ask again, and I expect an actual answer this time. What the hell has happened ?" Amelia repeats, trying her hardest to remain calm, and not rip Elena's heart out there and then.

"Oh, and another good question for ya. Why the hell are you here, Doppelganger bitch ?" Amelia then asks.

"I called Damon, he invited me" This makes the girl grit her teeth angrily, but she manages not to say anything stupid.

"I'll explain inside. Amelia, you can come in. Everyone inside" Jeremy babbles, running up beside them with a loaded crossbow in hand, looking battered and bloody.

The four stumble inside of the Lake house and catch their breath, while Elena looks at Jeremy, no idea what is really going on just like Amelia "Jeremy, what's going on ?" She questions, an expectant look plastered on her face.

"They're coming"

************

They braved out the night in the cabin, the hoard of newbie Vampires running and hiding as the sun began to rise. Elena is sat taking care of Matt's wounds, while Jeremy is looking out of the window to see if the Vampires are all gone. Amelia, is sat on the couch with Matt with her head in her hands, trying to wrap her head around everything they've been told.

"I gonna kill Klaus when I see him, I swear to God" She mutters quietly, her tolerance for Original Vampires having vanished at this point.

First Rebekah and her games, now Klaus using Matt as bait as to force Jeremy to complete his Hunter's mark. Within the space of a day, she gone from liking them and considering them friends, to wanting to shove White Oak in their chests.

"Suns up. They're long gone" Jeremy comments, as Damon appears in the room, looking tired but not hurt.

Noticing both Elena and Amelia in the room, Damon mentally groans, knowing them both in the same place is only going to end in disaster.

"What the hell were you thinking ?" Elena snaps, stalking forward and standing in front of Damon, her arms folded across her chest "All asked you to do was teach him how to fight ?"

"He's not the best student in the world" Is Damon's first defense, earning a glare of disbelief off of Jeremy.

"Wait. Now this is all my fault ?"

Damon just narrows his at the Gilbert Hunter "Stop talking" He hushes, before looking back at Elena "Look, I know you're angry, but my way was easiest, fastest, and safest way to complete his mark to get you the cure"

"I don't care about the cure, Damon, not if it means putting the people I love in danger" Elena states firmly, shaking her head, and Amelia let out a scoff.

"Oh, My God, how did I not see it coming. It's time for the 'Elena Gilbert martyr act'" She mocks, sending Elena the worlds most fake smile, and the Gilbert girl narrows her eyes at her.

"Your seriously doing this ? After everything we found out about each other today ?" Elena fires back, a smirk tugging on her lips.

The Evans girl jaw dropped slightly, when she realized what Elena was doing, and she wasn't happy about one bit "Are blackmailing me ? Are you fucking serious right now ?"  To which Elena just slowly nods, and rages builds up inside Amelia.

"Why you little -" But she is stopped by Jeremy, who uses one arm to hold her back, and the other to cover her mouth so she has no choice but to be quiet.

Damon clears his throat, and decides to let whatever just happened between the pair drop for the time being, and go back to the more pressing matter at hand "Hey, there would of been no danger if he hadn't gone all bleeding hearts"

"He killed someone. These were innocent people" She is quick to point out.

"But the mark grew, didn't it ?"

Elena lets out a small huff of frustration, running her hand through her hair "Okay. Look. We need a plan. There's a group of compelled Vampires out there, and as soon as the sun goes down, they're gonna come after Matt, so we need to find a way to protect him"

"Yes, I know, but there will be no problem when Big Jer, Amy and I here go on a hunting expedition. Elena, I know it's tragic, I get it, but we also agree that he had to kill them. Now we have added incentive, so you take the least most valuable player home, and Jeremy, Amelia and I will finish this" Damon tells her in an assuring tone, ignoring the look her gets off Matt, for calling him least valuable player.

Elena eyes raise in astonishment of his suggestion "I'm sorry. Are you saying that I should leave him here with you and her ?"

"Trust me. I will keep him safe, okay ?" Damon adds on, putting his hands on her shoulders to clam her, and Amelia snorts.

"Excuse me while I puke" She mutters, and Elena doesn't bite her tongue this time.

"I know something that will make everyone puke. The fact you and Stefan slept together, all to get back at me and Damon" Everyone falls silent, and Damon looks between Amelia and Elena, trying to make sure he heard that right.

"I'm sorry, what ?" Damon questions baffled, looking directly at Amelia for some answers, but she is too busy glaring at Elena to even look at him.

"You know what ? Yeah, me and Stefan did sleep together. But, guess what ? He found it a lot more enjoyable then he ever did with you" She spits, before barging past them all and storming downstairs.

************

After Elena and Matt left, Damon and Amelia could barely look at one another, let alone actually try and talk to one another. The entire car drive to the bar the newbie Vamps might be in, was filled was an awkward silence, and them both looking at anything but one another.

When Damon pulled the car over, Jeremy was quick to jump out, not wanting to be trapped in the car with them any longer. Amelia opened her mouth to say something, finally feeling brave enough to attempt a conversation, but Damon just got out of the car and slammed the door shut behind him. Sighing, she hit her head against the head rest a few times, before getting out and joining them at the trunk of the car.

"You really think they went back to the bar ?" Jeremy asks, a hint of uncertainty wavering through his voice, as Damon dug through the trunk through of weapons.

"Where else are they gonna go ? It's all cabins and vacation homes. They can't get in anywhere" Damon tells him in a tone, that sounds like that should of been obvious, before handing him a loaded crossbow to use "Alright. There you go"

"Fine . Let's get this over with" Jeremy says, keeping a tight hold of the crossbow and looking ready to go.

"Listen. Just go one at a time, only shoot for the heart, don't hesitate, don't miss" Damon instructs like a true teacher would, impressing the Evans girl slightly.

"Save the teaching moment. Elena's not here. You don't have to pretend like you give a damn about me" Jeremy snaps in a unappreciative tone, making Damon frown deeply a the boy and clip him around the back of the head.

"I'm trying to keep you alive, dumb ass" The Eldest Salvatore tells him bluntly, before slamming shut the trunk "Come on" He orders, beginning to walk ahead toward the bar.

Rolling her eyes, Amelia quickly jogged and caught up to him, ignoring the fact he is refusing to acknowledge her presence "Are we gonna talk or not ?"

"What is there to talk about ? I slept with Elena, you got revenge by sleeping with Stefan" Damon shrugs, his face looking bitter as he talks about Stefan.

"I love how off your acting with me because of it, despite the fact you're the one that fucked everything up in the first place" She says bravely, biting her lip as to stop herself fully loosing her temper.

"I screwed everything up ? Okay, yeah, I hurt you by sleeping with Elena. But, that gives you no right to sleep with Stefan, especially because of...." But he doesn't finish the sentence, and quickly diverts his eyes away from the girl.

"Because of what, Damon ?" She presses, now desperate to know what he was going to say, what he is clearly hiding from her

"Because of nothing" Damon says firmly "Oh, look, the bar. Gilbert, get ready, it's show time"

When the three walk inside the bar, they are ready and prepared for a fight, but are surprised to find no one there. Slowly, they walk around and check for sight of anyone, making sure to keep their guards up at all times. Smelling something weird, when Amelia looks to the ground and sees a drag stain of blood leading into the back room, she quickly nudges Damon and Jeremy.

"Somethings not right" Damon says quietly, as they begin to follow the blood trial into the back of the bar.

As they enter the back room, they freeze when they see a pile of dead bodies, the desiccated bodies of all the newbie Vampires. While Jeremy and Amelia look at it disgusted, Damon just looks annoyed and groans.

"Looks like we're gonna have to find new Vampires. What a waste" Damon mutters looking at the pile, and Amelia just shakes her head.

"Surely, the main priority right now, is finding whoever did this ?" She suggests sensibly, though she goes totally ignored by Damon, who is acting childish and now starting to just ignore her.

"I confess, I did it" A British voice comments, and they all turn to see Kol now stood in front of them, a half drunk bottle of Bourbon in hand.

"Kol" Jeremy and Amelia say in stereo, both them staring at him.

"Jeremy, good to see you again, mate. Amelia, pleasure as always, my lovely. Sorry about the mess. It was a little crowded when I arrived, and I prefer more intimate gatherings. We 4 need to have a little chat. Care for a drink" The Original practically rambles, before taking a swig from the Bourbon bottle, and holding it out for them to take.

"He's underage, she's an alcoholic, and I don't like you, so let's just cut to the chase" The Salvatore sneers at Kol, pushing Jeremy and Amelia behind him slightly, and staring expressionless at Kol.

Kol just shrugs, smirking slightly at Damon's behavior " My brother bragged about his plan to complete Jeremy's hunter mark. It was easy enough to track this lot down. They were all hiding in the shadows. Now killing young vampires is easy or old ones for that matter"

"Jesus Christ, Kol, get to the point of this" Amelia says, looking at him bored.

"What she said. What's this to you either way ?" Damon agrees, firing questions at the Original.

"Because, you fools, in your zeal to find the cure, you risk waking someone very dangerous" Kol snaps at them, looking slightly angered they haven't already realized.

"Oh, you must be on about Silas"

"Oh God, here we go" Amelia mutters, pinching the bridge of her nose and shaking her head, bewildered how a made up being is scaring a 1000 year old Original Vampire.

"What do you know of him ?" Kol fires back in question, looking suspicious of the three.

"Nothing. Don't want to. Not our problem"

"Isn't it ? A few hundred years back, I came across a group that worshiped Silas. His followers told me that he would rise again, and when he did, he would trigger the end of all time. You know, being an immortal, you can see why I'm apposed to time ending. I murdered them all, and now here you are willing to risk raising him in your search for the cure. I can't exactly sit back and let that happen, now can I ?" He finishes, and all three look at him like he is crazy, which wouldn't be surprising if he was.

"We're not gonna back off the cure because you were told one too many scary bedtime stories, you idiot" Damon sneers mockingly.

Kol isn't ready to quit, and then turns to Jeremy "Jeremy, we were mates in Colorado. You're a smart lad. Why don't you call this imbecilic treasure hunt off ?"

"I'm not calling anything off, mate" Jeremy also mocks, pointing the loaded crossbow directly at Kol's heart, his finger on the trigger ready to fire.

"Amelia, my lovely, help an old friend out ?"

"Sorry, Kol, but no. This is pathetic, even by your standards"

Kol's look turns into a murderous glare "Well, I could kill you all, but then I'd have the Hunter's curse to deal with, and I... I don't particularly feel like being haunted the next century. Better idea, I'll just rip off you arms" Then goes to lunge at Jeremy, only to be sped back against a wall by Damon. 

"JEREMY, AMELIA, RUN !" Damon yells, trying his hardest to keep Kol restrained.

Jeremy doesn't hesitate to do as told, but Amelia stays stood still, only until she sees the look Damon gives her "GO NOW !"

Finally listening, she speeds out of the bar after Jeremy.

******************

A lot happened after Amelia and Jeremy fled the bar. Klaus, after some convincing by Elena, called Kol to stop him doing anything stupid to Damon. Though, Kol only stopped once her compelled the Oldest Salvatore, which was to find and kill Jeremy.

This led to Damon chasing Jeremy through the tunnels, yelling at to run so he can't kill him, trying his hardest to fight against Kol's compulsion.  Elena and Amelia were trying their hardest to find Damon and stop him, even trying to work together despite what happened this morning, but they needed help. The tunnels were a maze, and they were gonna need more help as to find them.

Amelia tried her hardest to track them, while Elena called Stefan to try and get him to help, despite how he felt about both girls at the moment.

Eventually, they find Damon in the woods, looking to see what direction Jeremy went in.

"DAMON, STOP " Elena yells, attracting his attention "I know you don't want to hurt Jeremy, so please stop"

"I can't" Damon says, stating the obvious to the girl.

"Yes, you can. You're strong enough to resist the compulsion, I know that you are" The Doppelganger argues, sounding desperate and also confident in her words.

"Why, because Stefan did ?"

"Because I love you, because you love me. You'd do anything for me, so please... Do this for me" Elena pleads, her eyes glassy with hopeful tears.

"I'm sorry, Elena" Damon says sadly, turning to speed away, but Amelia appears in front of him.

"Then do it for me, Damon. If you can't do it for Elena, then do it for me. Because you are my Best Friend, and even when we were human you would do anything for me. I know things have be strained between us lately, but if you still feel anything for me whatsoever, then don't do this" Amelia says to him calmly, taking his hands into hers and squeezing them in an reassuring manner "Do me this one thing"

For a minuet, it actually looks like it is working, which leaves Elena hurt. In this moment Elena realized that, despite how much she may love Damon and how he may of felt for her in the past, his affection for Amelia is a lot stronger. He may not know how he feels about Amelia yet, but he will soon, and it just hurts her to no end.

Then, that's when each Vampire hears it, the sound of blood hitting the floor. Damon eyes snap in the direction it came from, veins crawling underneath his eyes, and he then looks at Amelia sadly "I'm so sorry" He apologizes, before disappearing from sight.

"DAMON !" Both girls yell in stereo, speeding after him as quickly as possible.

Just as the girls arrive at the seen, Jeremy looks like he is about to shoot Damon, when Stefan speeds over and snaps the his siblings neck "Hey brother. Long time, no see" He says, as everyone takes a breath of relief.

Stefan looked Damon up in the basement of the Boarding House after that, drying him out and refusing to let Elena see him, in case he used the sire bond to try and escape.  When Amelia walks into the Boarding House, and makes a beeline for the basement, he doesn't bother trying to stop her. He knows she isn't stupid enough to let him out.

Arriving at his cell, and seeing him passed out from blood loss, she leans back against the door and slides down so she is at on the floor "I'm right here, Damon" She whispers, before leaning her head against the hard door and closing her eyes, getting herself prepared for a long night.

Well, Damelia went through a mixture of emotions this chapter, and Elena realized Damon doesn't care about her as much as she thinks. There are still a lot of issues Damon and Amelia need to address, but they are slowly but surely coming together.

Also, I just thought about writing the season 5 finale and then the first few episodes of season 6. God, those are gonna be painful to write. Hope you all enjoyed this chapter, there may not be another update for this book this weekend, I have some other stories I need to focus on.
