When Stefan and Klaus walk into the basement, Stefan isn't surprised when she sees Amelia asleep by the cell door, curled up in a small ball with head using her jacket as a pillow. She had been there since Damon got locked up, and she clearly wasn't gonna leave till Damon was set free, no matter what drama was going on around her.

"Amelia, wake up" Stefan says, shaking the girl awake in a far from gentle manner, making her glare at him when her eyes snap open.

"Fuck you, I'm trying to sleep. Do you know how uncomfortable this floor is ? I've been down here all night, and this is the first bit of sleep I've got, stop ruining it" She scolds him, before making her jacket comfortable once again and closing her eyes.

Stefan then looks at Klaus, knowing any attempt he makes will be useless "A little help ?"

Klaus just smirks at Stefan, before grabbing Amelia under each of her arms, and pulling the girl to her feet. Leaning her against the wall, he grabs a blood bag from nearby and waves it under her nose "Wakey, wakey, love. Breakfast time"

At these words, she opens one eye and looks at the blood bag, before opening both eyes and snatching it from his hands. Putting the straw into her mouth, she begins to drink from it hungrily, not able to remember the last time she fed properly.

Klaus then looks smugly at Stefan "And that is how it's done, mate. I hope you took notes" Rolling his eyes, Stefan ignores him and walks up to Damon's cell, looking through the bars at his brother.

"Gonna snap my neck again ? Because I woke up feeling completely non-murderous, and I'm pretty sure that it's safe to set me free"  Damon says when he spots Stefan, who just remains silent and throws a vial of blood through the bars.

"You practically bled me dry. At least spring for a bag or something, I'm thirsty" Damon bargains hungrily, so Stefan still remains silent, and places a bottle of water between the bars for Damon to take.

Amelia can imagine the look on his face, and can't help but giggle slightly "Not exactly what I had in mind" Damon mutters, and stands up to grab the bottle, only to see Klaus and Amelia through the bars.

"Hello Mate" Klaus greets, smirking at the look on Damon's face at the sight of him, while Amelia just mutters a sleepy morning.

"What the hell are you doing here" The Eldest Salvatore demands, this more aimed at Klaus then it is at Amelia, who he could hear softly snoring through the bars all night long.

"Babysitting, and I get the feeling young Amelia is going to join me" Klaus tells him simply, getting no end of amusement form the look of horror on Damon's face.

Stefan then turns to Klaus and Amelia, and hands them a couple vials of blood "Given him a vial of blood every couple of hours so he doesn't desiccate. If he gets too much strength back or if he just annoys you, bleed him out again"

Damon frowns at this, and looks directly at Stefan, who is still refusing to look him in the eye "Silent treatment , huh ? He's still pissed at me for sleeping with Elena"

"Can we not talk about this please ?" Amelia butts in, the topic being brought up making her want to punch a wall.

"Are you sure about that ?" Klaus questions, a smug grin on his face "Because I caught him trying to sneak out of Rebekah's bed this morning, which would suggest to me that he's moved on"

Amelia raises her eyes at Stefan at this, folding her arms over her chest "Are kidding me ? After everything she put us through at the High School, after you told her you hated her, you're sleeping with her ?"

"Well, well, well. Looks like my brother ripped a page out of my revenge sex handbook. Oh no, wait a second, he already did that when he slept with Amelia" Damon comments, and Stefan's eyes widen at the last part, while Amelia looks down embarrassed "Yeah, Stefan, I know you slept with Amy"

Klaus looks at Amelia at this revelation, who unfortunately met his line of sight "Really, Amelia, love ?" To which she responds by muttering 'Piss off', making the Original chuckle.

"Well, why don't you three enjoy your little, uh, villain bonding time. I'll let you know when I get the dagger from Rebekah" Stefan says awkwardly, before walking away and heading upstairs out of sight, leaving the three alone.

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

Amelia is sat leaned against one of the walls in the cell, her eyes glued to her phone, playing random games to kill time. Damon is laid on the small camp bed, throwing a ball in the air and catching it repeatedly, while Klaus is stood leaned against a wall.

"You know, none of this would of been an issue if you had just done your job properly. I was perfectly willing to let you train Jeremy" Klaus comments, breaking what had been the comfortable silence they had been sat in.

Amelia takes her eyes off her phone, and looks up at him "Are you seriously starting the blame game ?"

"No, you weren't. Are you kidding ? You go there on day two. Do you know how hard it is to get those X-box brains to focus ?" Damon retorts with a scoff, and Amelia just shakes her head.

"And you're playing the blame game"

"And then I turned a room full of barflies into Vampires for him top slaughter, you let Kol kill them" Klaus points out, and Damon scoffs once more.

"Your brother problem, not mine, buddy" Damon defends.

"And whose bright idea was it to saddle Jeremy with a conscience, hm ?" Klaus once again points out accusingly, not letting the subject drop.

"Well, we couldn't have him trying to stake Elena is her sleep, now, could we ?" Damon says, stating the obvious, and this time it is Amelia who scoffs.

"Cause that would of been the worst thing that could happened" She deadpans quietly "Is it just me that realizes, how much a better place the world would be without Doppelgangers ?"

Klaus holds back a chuckle, before looking back over at Damon "Ah, yes, for the love of Elena. How is it she manages to overlook every horrific thing you've ever done ? Is it wilful ignorance or perhaps something more pathological ?"

"Some people are just more capable of forgiveness then others. I mean, take me and Amelia, we wouldn't be in the same right now if we couldn't forgive each other" Damon points, looking over at the girl with a small smile.

"Yeah, even when you hate them, you manage to love them. It's a weird thing" Amelia adds on, smiling back at Damon a small smile, before diverting her eyes back to her phone "Bet you score a negative 500 in that column, Nik"

"Come on. There must be a secret. It can't just be the sire bond or loyal friendship. What is it ? Compulsion ? Manipulation ? What is it you say to Elena and Amelia ?" But instead of answering, Damon and Amelia glance at Klaus, before exchanging knowing looks.

"Awe, maybe my ship isn't sinking after all, looks like you're actually trying to make it sail" Amelia coos, grinning over at Klaus, who just looks at her unimpressed.

"We think this has something to do with a certain Blonde Vampire. We think you murdered Carol Lockwood, and you're worried Caroline''s never gonna forgive you for it" Damon pieces together easily, to which Klaus faces wavers for a moment, before shrugging.

"You've done worse"

"Debatable. See, I don't mind being the bad guy, because somebody has to fill that roll to get things done. You do bad things for no reason. You do them to be a dick" Damon tells him, being very bluntly honest with the Hybrid, who once again shrugs.

"Debatable" To which Amelia snorts.

"Truthful"

"If you're gonna be bad, be bad with purpose. Otherwise you're just not worth forgiving"

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

"You brothers lack of communication is infuriating" Klaus growls impatiently at Damon, glaring down at his phone.

"It's one of his trademarks, like his brooding and his hair" Damon lists, now sat on the bed leaned against the wall, Amelia sat next to him sharing a bottle of Bourbon.

"I don't understand what's taking so long. I mean, how hard is it to steal a dagger ?" And Amelia just stares at him in disbelief at this.

"Right, think about what you just said and how many times you've daggered your siblings, then get back to us" She tells him, trying not to laugh at his blatant stupidity.

"Yeah, from a Vampire who's been stabbed as many times as your sister, I'm gonna go with difficult" Damon adds on in agreement.

Rolling his eyes, Klaus shoves his phone into his pocket, then looks back at Damon "You disappoint me, Damon. You're not trying very hard to get out of here.  I expected more the daring escape artist, less the cell potato"

""Well, I'm compelled to kill Jeremy, so I figured it's probably smarter to sit in here and chit chat with you then try and bust out of here like the hulk" Damon states unfazed, taking a swig from the Bourbon bottle in Amelia's hand.

"How do you think Elena felt about that, by the way ? Your inability to overcome Kol's compulsion for a single moment, even though it meant killing the person she loves most int he world ?

"She met me. She knows impulse control isn't my strong suit. Plus, I did manage it for a moment, just not when she was asking me to..." Damon trials off, remembering what happened in the woods after he failed to overcome the compulsion for Elena.

"He managed it for me, only for a second, but he managed it" Amelia fesses up, not beating around the bush with the subject.

Klaus glances between them both, seeing them, both blush and refusing to look one another in the eye, unable but to smirk slightly "Still, must be hard trying to live up to Stefan. I remember when I compelled him to feed on Elena, he fought so hard, he actually managed to resist. Now, that's love. And, I get the feeling things would be worse if Amelia wasn't there"

"What do you know about love ?" Damon asks with a raised eye.

Before he answers, he looks at Amelia "Amelia, love, go get a fresh bottle would you" He orders, with a look that says 'Don't argue with me' and she sighs before heading out to grab some more Bourbon.

Klaus then looks at Damon, after making sure he heard the girl walk upstairs "I know that you're in love with Elena, but I think you're afraid what might happen when you find the cure at the end of the rainbow. Personally, I don't see a fairy tale ending for you.  All I see is Stefan and Elena, and I think you can see the same"

"I also know, Damon, you feel something that is more then just friendship for Amelia. You may not of fully realized it yet, but it isn't hard to spot when you look at you both together. Now, I'm going to say this once, and once only. If you hurt her in any way, shape or form, you will regret the day you were born. Do I make myself clear ?" And fears strikes within Damon, realizing Klaus cares about Amelia the way he does Rebekah, like a little Sister he doesn't want to see hurt.

"Crystal" Damon nods, and they fall silent as Amelia walks back in with a fresh bottle of Bourbon.

"What ?" She asks awkwardly, looking between the pair who are both looking at her weirdly, and they merely shake their heads at her.

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

"Well, if it isn't the happy homicidal maniac" Klaus smirks as he answers his phone, making Amelia let out a snort of laughter at the name.

"Do you know your Darling former blood bag and her brother are trying to kill me ?" Kol questions furiously, making both Klaus and Amelia's eyes widen in shock.  

"What ?" Klaus growls in disbelief, glaring over at Damon, who is looking rather innocent.

"Don't pretend like you're not in on it. Your obsession to find the cure clearly trumps any sibling loyalty you once felt" Kol snarls enraged, but Klaus still looks clueless to the whole situation at hand.

"I don't know what you're talking about"

"I'm going to rip Jeremy's arm off then kill Elena just for sport. Then I'm coming for you" Kol warns in a deadly serious tone, before hanging up the phone.

Amelia doesn't bother to stick around long after that, and she takes off at Vampire speed to the Gilbert house. She wasn't going to let them kill Kol, not if she could help it. She wasn't as close to Kol as the other Originals, but that didn't matter, he was still her friend. It doesn't take Klaus long to follow behind, having stopped to question Damon about what is going on first.

Just as they arrive in the doorway to the Gilbert home, they sees Kol body falling to the ground with white oak in his chest, desiccating and his body catching on fire. Amelia lets out a scream, clasping her hand over her mouth to muffle the her sobs, tears falling down her cheeks.

"What did you do" Klaus demands  in a cold tone, his demeanor faltering when he looks at his brothers flaming body, but trying hard not to show his emotions.

"We didn't have a choice. He was trying to cut off Jeremy's arms" Elena excuses, both Gilbert's unable no to look scared by the Hybrid, who looked furious and murderous.

"Lies" Klaus snarls "He would never of gotten inside if you hadn't of set a trap for him"

Elena thinks for a moment, trying hard to find a defense "You said you were going to put him down too"

"I was going to make him suffer on my terms" The Originals Hybrid yells "I want to burn this house to the ground, and then when you both try to flee for your lives, I'll kill you both without blinking"

"I'll help" Amelia states coldly, looking at the Gilbert's void of any clear emotion but rage.

"You kill us, you'll never be able to get to the cure "Jeremy is quick to point out "You'll never be able to make anymore Hybrids"

"You really think I care for an instant about my bloody Hybrids ?" Klaus scoffs "I want the cure so I can destroy it. I would've killed you all the second we dug it up, but now I'm just gonna watch you burn instead" Before he can attempt anything, Klaus drops to his knees clutching his head in pain, Bonnie appearing in sight clearly doing a spell on him.

Amelia jumps out of her way, despite how angry she is, not wanting the same fate Klaus is about to meet. Bonnie snaps her head toward Elena and Jeremy, the spell not dropping for a second, Klaus continuing to groan in pain "Invite him in. Do it"

Jeremy sends her a bewildered look, before deciding to go with it, and looking back over at Klaus "Come in" He invites.

With that, Bonnie drops the spell on Klaus and he lunges to attack them, both Gilbert's and and Bennett witch quickly running out of his reach "LIVING ROOM, GO !" Bonnie shouts, and they run into the Living room just as the witch requested.

As Klaus goes in after them, they exit into the dining room, but Klaus gets stopped at the threshold unable to follow. Realizing what is going on, he tries to exit the way he came in, but once again gets stuck at the border.

"Witch, you can't do this to me" Klaus snarls furiously, glaring Bonnie directly in the eye.

"You have no idea what I can do now" She fires backs, ushering Elena and Jeremy out of the house, before turning to Amelia with a sad smile.

"Come on, Amy" She says, wrapping arm around her shoulder and leading her toward the front door, Amelia not protesting and staying in a numb silence.

"I WILL HUNT ALL OF YOU TO YOUR END ! DO YOU HEAR ME ?! DO YOU ?"

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

Broken. That's how Amelia currently felt, and there was nothing she could do to change that. Ever since she came back to Mystic Falls, Elena had been managing to make her life hell, even if some of it she didn't mean to do.

"It didn't work" Jeremy says in a panicked tone, stood in front of fire in the Salvatore lounge.

""It took a while for Finn's line to dye off, remember ? It'll work" Bonnie assures, sat patiently on the couch with Elena, as they wait for Jeremy's hunter mark to grow.

"What if it doesn't ?" Jeremy presses, still adamant to think their plan failed.

"Where's that Gilbert optimism ?" Damon questions walking into sight, looking at them all "Sorry I missed all the excitement"

Elena stands up from her seat, smiling at him widely "I'm just happy to see you" But before she gets to walk into his arms and hug him,  Damon walks over to Amelia who is sat silently crying, and pulls the girl into his arms.

Despite how angry she is, and how she knows Damon would of been in on the plan if he wasn't int he basement, she can't help but melt into his hold. Burying her head into the crook on his neck, she begins to let out small sobs, while he strokes his hand through her her whispering to her calmly.

"It's okay, shush" He soothes the best he can, while Elena watches the pair from behind, a frown unable to not appear on her lips.

Just then, everyone turns as the front door opens, and Stefan walks and places down a rock on the table "Got the Silas headstone" He announces, patting the rock and walking toward everyone, his hands shoved inside his pockets.

"We're just waiting for Jeremy's mark to grow" Elena tells him "Klaus is trapped in our living room" She adds on awkwardly, making Stefan nods but raise an eyebrow at her.

"Temporarily" Bonnie jumps in, getting to her feet and folding her arms over her chest "I drew on the new moon to bind the spell. Got three days to find the cure, four max" She warns in a serious tone.

"If we don't, we might as well look up Katherine Pierce and see if she wants some company in hiding, cause he will come for us"

"We'll find it" Elena tells Jeremy positively "Now we've got Rebekah taken car of, all we need is Professor Shane, and we'll have everything we need"

Stefan looks slightly guilty when she says this, scratching the back of his head awkwardly "Yeah, I didn't uh... I didn't dagger her"

"What ? Why not ?" Elena asks dumbfounded.

"I didn't need to, she's on our side"

"On our side ? Did you just say that ?"

"Yeah. She handed over the headstone. I mean, she wants this cure more than anyone of us" Stefan shrugs in weak defense.

"Why would you possibly think that we could trust her ?" The Doppelganger scolds like he is a child, and Amelia finally removes her head from Damon's shoulder, and looks at Elena seething.

"I trust her a hell of a lot more then I trust you. You're lucky I haven't ripped your heart out" She hisses enraged, before looking away and burying her face back into Damon's neck, feeling more tears coming to her eyes.

"Let me guess. She pledged her allegiance to you while naked in the sack ?"Damon questions in a smug tone, stroking Amelia's back in attempt to calm her once again.

Stefan rolls his eyes at this, ignoring the look Elena is now giving him, and looking at his brother annoyed "I bet you were dying to get that out, weren't you Damon ?"

"Oh was it supposed to be a secret ? Maybe you should make that a little clearer while you're bleeding me dry int he cellar. Besides, it's not like any of your one night stands stay secret, is it Stef ?"

"Yeah. To keep you killing Jeremy. And what happened between me and Amelia ? It's not like you cared at the time, you were too busy doing the exact same with Elena"

"Stop it, both of you" Elena orders, knowing this argument is only going to get worse.

"Now why don't you tell her to calm down, Damon ? You've used that Sire bond pretty well up so far, haven't you ? Or, do you not care about her anymore and have moved onto Amelia ? Which is it ?" Before anyone can stop him, Damon moves Amelia out of his arms, then punches Stefan square in jaw, pissed.

Stefan goes to punch him back, but everyone stops when Jeremy screams and begins to rip off his shirt, all of them watching as his tattoo begins to complete itself.

"Oh my God" Elena breathes out staring intently.

"What ? You can see it ?" Jeremy questions, and everyone begins to slowly nod.

"Here we go"

I'm getting so many chapters written lately, it's crazy and I'm happy with the way they are turning out, which makes a change to normal. I'm working hard to get season 4 finished, so that I can write the season finale, as I have big plans for it.

My Laptop has broke on me, so I'm writing these chapters whenever I can get on the main Computer in my house. So, if I stop updating suddenly, it's just because I can't get online. I should have my Laptop fixed on Tuesday, but just warning you in case it doesn't happen.

Hope you all enjoyed, leave you thoughts in the comments below :)
