Amelia wanted only thing with the cure the Vampirism, and one thing only. To force it down Elena's throat so it breaks her Sire bond to Damon, then snap her neck before she has a second to appreciate being human again. As for taking the cure herself, she hadn't properly thought about the possibility of becoming human again.

While the idea did sound appealing, since it would give her chance to do everything she missed out on when becoming a Vampire, she knew she wouldn't take it. Sure, Vampirism was forced on her, but it doesn't mean she hates it. She's strong now, she can defend herself, why would she want to take that away ?

After arriving on the Island, Amelia, Damon, Elena, Stefan, Rebekah, Bonnie, Jeremy and Professor Shane prepared themselves for the trek on the beach. It took a while to make it to the island, and was a very silence filled and awkward journey at that, everyone having a grudge with at least one person on this trip.

Stefan and Rebekah stood together preparing their bags, Bonnie was stood with Jeremy taking pictures of his tattoo, and Elena was sorting herself out on her own. Since Kol died, Damon hadn't let Amelia out of his sight, scared of what she might do. So even now, he kept her with him, as went to talk to Professor Shane.

"They couldn't of hidden this cure in Hawaii ? Where the hell did you take us ?" Damon questions they approach Shane, who has this stupid grin plastered on his face.

"200 miles of the Nova Scotia mainland. If you recall, the whole point was to hide the cure on the worlds most obscure, desolate island" Shane reminds the two Vampires smartly, pulling sunscreen out of his bag, and beginning to rub it onto his arms.

"Oh, yeah ? I though that the whole point was that no one found Silas, the oldest, deadliest freak in the world" Damon fires back with a smug smirk, to which Shane just shrugs as if that part is the least important.

"Yeah, that too. Sunscreen ?" He offers politely, holding the bottle out to them, and they just frown.

"Is that a joke ?" Damon questions in disbelief, as Shane looks at the bottle then at them, and realize exactly what he has done.

"You're right" Shane says, chuckling at his form of bad human, and Amelia then looks Damon in the eye.

"He makes any jokes like that again, I don't care if we need him, I'm drowning him" She says seriously, before looking at Shane again "To think at one point I found you pretty"

Shane gets to say nothing in response, when Amelia sees Elena rush at Rebekah with the White Oak stake in hand. Growling, she rushes at Elena just as she grabs Rebekah to the next, and throws the Doppelganger roughly to the ground. There was no way in hell, she was letting Elena kill anyone else she cared about.

That bitch would die first.

Having Elena pined to the ground, Amelia takes the chance and punches her in the face, causing bloods to start pouring from her nose. Rebekah bursts into to laugh, finding more amusement in the situation then she probably should.

"Why thank you, Amy" Rebekah grins gratefully, before turning her attention back to the bleeding Elena "Go ahead. Try and kill me. But then you'd have to face your real problems... like the fact Stefan invited me here himself. I guess he likes me again"

Amelia snorts at this, and then glares directly at Elena, still having her pinned to the ground "Go after Rebekah again, and Stefan's reaction will be the least of your worries. I've had enough of your crap, Elena, so you better stop giving me reasons to kill you"

That now said Amelia gets off Elena and dusts herself off, before walking away as if nothing happened.

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

Not longer after the scene on the beach, Shane set them all of the path through the jungle, staying together as a group as they walk along. Shane is holding a phone in air, looking frustrated with it, until he finally puts it down.

"Satellite Phone lost it's signal" He announces to the rest of the group.

"That's a good sign" Damon deadpans, rolling his eyes.

"Is anyone else a little creeped out ?" Elena questions, looking around at the vast surroundings, scanning everywhere for any sign of danger.

"Leave then" Rebekah and Amelia snarl in stereo, exchanging amused glances when they realize it happened, before Rebekah carries on "Out of everyone presence is the least necessary"

"Please don't start"Stefan pleads with a groan, sending the Original a look.

"I'm merely stating the facts. Jeremy has the spell on his body. Bonnie's the witch that unseals the cure. Shane is the human compass. You and I have the tombstone, that does God knows what. And Amelia is brilliant help in a fight. And Elena has no point" Rebekah lists truthfully, and Amelia snorts.

"The girl has a good point" The Evans girl agrees with a grin.

"What about me ?" Damon calls out in question, glancing back at the blonde.

"You have a nice behind" Rebekah answers simply, and Amelia smirks but quickly covers it up.

"Now, Rebekah, don't boost his already giant ego" She scolds, earning a playful glare from Damon when he looks over at  her.

"Centuries after Qetsiyah died" Shane begins, gathering everyone's attention as they continue to troop along, though only seeming to vaguely interest Bonnie "There were these miners who were excavating on the island. Suddenly went mad. Bled themselves dry. No apparent reason. So, the legend spread that these miners, in exchange for a drop of their blood, saw visions of their lost loved ones in the well they were digging. The word traveled and explores sought out the well to see if the legend was true"

"So, the well was magic" The Bennett witch assumes, sending the Professor a questioning look.

"Yeah" Shane nods "Some believe the voice of lost souls were just a wind vortex whipping through the cave. And visions were caused by inhaling the islands poisonous plant life"

"And what do you believe ?" Elena questions in interest.

"I believe in magic. My wife and son died within a few months of each other. And so... I decided to try the well out for myself. I offered my blood up and waited" As he speaks of it, his concentration wanders from the task at hand, a small smile on his lips as he reminisces "I saw my wife. I saw her eyes. Her smile. My blood let me see her again"

"Yeah, got it. Don't eat the poisonous flowers" Damon smirks sarcastically, before taking the lead and wandering ahead, everyone else soon following suit.

Noticing something everyone else doesn't, Shane quickly jogs back in front and forces everyone to stop "Wait. Stop, stop, stop ! Is everybody paying attention ?" Seeing all eyes and ears on him, Shane throws a stone into the path ahead, causing a leaf covered net to spring up in the air.

Shane nods to the net, then looks at them all "Our first lesson in survival. Stay together. Keep your eyes open"

Damon crosses his arms and looks unimpressed, making Amelia laugh "Let me guess, you knew it was there ?" She asks teasingly, and he just punches her in the arm playfully.

"Shut up" He mutters, making her laugh some more, before they both continue to walk to catch up to the others.

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

As night fell, everyone was become a lot more wary of what was around them, and for good reason. Someone threw a hatchet at Jeremy a while back, and if it wasn't for someone unknown saving him, he would of been killed. They knew they weren't alone, that someone else was here with them. The group slows after a while, coming towards a clearing with an old wood cabin in it.

"What is this place ?" Stefan questions, as everyone draws to a stand still.

""According to island lore, a group of college kids came here for Spring Break. A few weeks later, they were all found dead, completely drained of blood" Shane informs them.

""Well, tragic for them, brilliant for us. Who sleeps where ?" Rebekah asks, clapping and rubbing her hands together.

Damon just frowns "Well, that's lovely. There's a mystery man with a hatchet lurking in the woods and we're just gonna camp ?"

"Awe, is Damon scared ? Does he want someone to hold his hand, and protect him from the big bad monsters" Amelia teases with a grin, unstrapping the tent from her rucksack, and starting on getting it pitched.

"So funny, Amy, I forgot to laugh" Damon retorts with a blank look.

Shane just looks at Damon, without a single bother written on his face "We're safer here then we are hiking in the dark"

"Let's just keep going. You know ? Get the cure. Get in, get out. Where is it ?"

"How stupid do you think I am ?" Shane scoffs.

""Stupid enough to raise an immortal witch, so I'd say... incredibly"

"Yeah, I'm shocked you even want the cure, considering you've the got the most to loose once Elena's human" Shane says before walking away, and Damon stands there silently, realizing what Shane meant.

Amelia is just finishing pitching her tent, when she sees Elena walk over to Damon, having heard what Shane said to him. She stays stood by her tent, deciding not to go over and intervene, but just to listen closely to their conversation.

"Shane doesn't know what he's talking about" Elena says simply, smiling at Damon reassuringly.

"Well find out tomorrow" Is the Salvatore's blunt answer, beginning to walk away, but Elena grabs his hand stopping him.

"Do you really think I'm gonna take this cure, break the sire bond, and fall out of love with you ?" Elena questions dumbstruck, and Amelia utters an inaudible 'I hope so' under her breath.

"No, I'm saying we don't know" Damon corrects "And if we find it tomorrow, we will"

Elena just shakes her head, smiling her unbearable smile, remaining the optimist "This cure is gonna change so many things. Jeremy's not gonna want to kill me anymore. We're finally gonna get rid of Klaus. Bonnie's Mom isn't going to be a Vampire.  And anyone who wants to take this cure is gonna have that option. Caroline, Stefan, Amelia, and you. If you want it"

"I get it. Everything changes tomorrow. It'll all be unicorns and rainbows" Damon replies sarcastically, doing movements with his hands for effect, ever the pessimist.

"No, not everything. That's what I'm saying, Damon, not my feelings for you" Elena says before quickly kissing him, and pulling him into her arms.

When he is hugging her go, Damon stares over her shoulder at Amelia, who is looking at him with the same expression. Longing, confusion. Biting her lip and looking down, Amelia disappears inside of her tent, leaving the 'Couple' to have their moment in peace.
It doesn't take long for Amelia to get herself comfortable, snuggling into her sleeping bag and closing her eyes, trying her hardest to just fall asleep. Sadly, all she can hear in her head is something Elena said, well what she implied. The cure is going to change everyone's lives tomorrow. She didn't come here with the intention of taking it, but their is one person she might take it for.

Damon.

If he decides the cure, she might take it with him, but only if everything with Elena has ended. Hearing someone unzipping her tent, she quickly squeezes her eyes closed and pretends to be asleep, like she used to do when her Mother checked on her as a child.
Whoever it is that enters, slips off their shoes and closes the tent, before laying down beside her and snaking their arms around her waist.She realizes who it is, when she hears a voice whisper in her ear, after pressing their lips against her forehead.

"Goodnight Amy" Damon whispers softly, pulling her close to him before closing his own eyes, and dozing off to sleep.

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

The next morning, everyone is up early searching for Jeremy, who has seemingly gone missing in the night. The only thing running through Amelia's mind is 'Why is it always a Gilbert, that causes all of the problems ?'.

"Did you find anything ?" Elena asks hopefully, as they all gather back where last nights campfire was lit.

"He's not on the trial" Bonnie says sadly, Amelia shaking her head in agreement since she searched the trial with Bonnie.

"His gear's still here" Shane calls, and they all look over to where Jeremy's tent is, to see Shane holding up the boy's bag.

"He's not at the quarry either" Stefan says, coming into sight with Rebekah in toe, both of them having went off to search together.

"Split up" Damon then suggests, since everyone knows they can't do anything till Jeremy is found, with his tattoo being the map to the cure.

"I'm gonna go try a locator spell" Bonnie says and walks off toward the cabin, Shane going with her saying 'I'll make sure she's safe', making Damon glare after him with a unimpressed look.

"I'll stay here and make sure you're not lying" Damon calls out, sending the remaining lot a look, before darting off after the witch and Professor.

Leaving Stefan, Rebekah, Amelia and Elena. Because that was the greatest idea, leaving four people all with different grudges against each other to work together. Elena looks at them all, get no vaguely happy looks in response, before sighing.

"Fine. We'll keep searching the island" And instead of talking to her, the three just turn and head off into the woods to search, leaving Elena following behind them like a lost puppy.

"JEREMY ! JEREMY !" The Doppelganger yells out, clearly hoping for a response off her MIA sibling.

Amelia groans, covering her ears with her hands "And here I thought, you couldn't get anymore annoying. But no, I was wrong, I just hadn't heard you yelling"

Rebekah looks as annoyed as the Evans girl, glaring over at Elena, who has somehow managed to get in front of them "Why don't you yell a little louder ? Maybe we haven't drawn enough attention to ourselves already" She sneers, sarcasm lacing through her voice.

"I'm sorry, and how are you helping. Either of you ?" Elena snaps back.

"We're stronger than you and faster than you and I'm quite certain we can charm the islanders easier them you" Rebekah lists smugly, and Elena snorts slightly.

"No disagreeing on the easy part" The Doppelganger mutters, and Amelia clenches her fist, making her knuckles turn white.

"Clearly someone didn't heed my warning on the beach yesterday" She says, her voice rising slightly, giving Elena a deadly look.

Stefan just sighs, rolling his eyes at the three of them bored "Alright, we get it. You three hate each other. Can we just keep going, please ?"

"I tried being her friend" Rebekah is quick to remind him, easily knowing how to defend herself "But somehow, I ended up with a dagger in my back because I'm the evil one"

"Technically, you didn't achieve evil status until you killed me" Elena corrects.

"Shame you couldn't stay dead, really" Amelia sighs in miserable tone, smirking when she sees how wound up Elena gets at the comment, and how hard she is trying not to bite at it.

Suddenly, Elena trips triggering a trap, which goes to send a board of wooden nails into her chest. Before anyone can even blink, Rebekah rushes forward and catches it, saving Elena's life within a second.

"Nice catch" Stefan breath out in praise, impressed with the Original.

"Thank you" Rebekah gleams, not hiding the happiness Stefan's praise gives her.

"No, actually, thank you" Elena says, giving Rebekah a genuine grateful look "This thing would of killed me"

"I don't care what happens to you either way. Bit if you're gonna die, it might as well be epic" Rebekah shrugs with a smirk.

"I'm gonna go back and check on Bonnie, see if she found anything. Be careful" Elena warns, before beginning to walk back the way they came.

Stefan looks at Amelia, sending her a look, making her groan "Wait up, Doppelganger bitch, I'll come with you. Knowing you luck, you'll set off another trap"

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

The drama didn't stop when they arrived back at the clearing, if anything it only got worse.
It started when Elena found Damon inside the cabin with Shane, basically trying to beat the cure location out of him. This escalated into an argument between the pair, and Damon telling her becoming human with her, is probably the most regrettable thing he could ever do before storming off.

Topping it all off, Bonnie and Shane are now gone, and Damon's showing no sign of turning up soon. When Stefan and Rebekah return, everything carries on going down hill for them, when Elena find Rebekah rooting through her tent.

"What are you doing in my tent ?" Elena demands, seeing Rebekah rifling through all of her stuff.

"Where's the tombstone ? What have you done with it ?" Rebekah growls in question, glaring at Elena furiously.

"What are you talking about ?"

"Like it's not bloody obvious ? All you people ever do is betray me and here you go again" She snarls, before grabbing Elena tightly around the throat, and beginning to choke her so she is gasping for breath.

Hearing the commotion, Amelia and Stefan quickly run inside of Elena's tent and breaking them up, feeling the high tension as soon s they enter "Let her go. She didn't take it" Stefan states, making Rebekah drop her hold on the girl.

"Was any of it real ? Or was it just a ploy to distract me while Shane ran off with the tombstone ?" She questions hurt, assuming whatever bond she made with Stefan over the last few days, has all been lies and manipulation.

"You think I would do that ? You think I would let some psychopath run off with the cure ? Every single moment of my last 146 years has been ruled by the pain of being a vampire. And this cure ends that. It ends the guilt and it ends the suffering. And you really think I would jeopardize that ?" Stefan questions in disbelief, shocked she would assume it was him who helped take the tombstone.

"Fine, you didn't take it. But that doesn't mean I trust her" Rebekah says, making Elena bend down and grab something from her bag, then stand up and hand it to Rebekah.

"I didn't take it, but here" Elena says, holding the White Oak stake out for Rebekah to take "Consider this a peace offering"

Rebekah looks at Elena unconvinced "Don't you get it, Elena ? There's no peace. We're all screwed"

"The girl makes a very good point" Amelia pipes up, breaking the awkward silence she had been stood in, as she watched the whole scene unfold.

"Exactly, we're screwed. Bonnie's gone. Shane's got the tombstone. Jeremy's missing and who knows if Damon's coming back. So, us four right here, this is all we've got. So, we're either in this together... or it's over. For all of us"

Still hesitating slightly, Rebekah take the stake from her hand.

"Oh yeah, great, we're fine as long as we're a team" Amelia sneers sarcastically, before covering her hands with her face "We're all gonna die out here"

Not a lot of Damelia this chapter, but enough to keep people happy I hope. So, Elena, Rebekah, Stefan and Amelia all working together. That's bound to end badly. Having Amelia punch Elena at the beginning of the chapter, just felt right and I don't know why.

Also, I'm dedicating this chapter to Bella_A_Bancroft ! This is to say thank you for the awesome new cover she made me.

Comment all your thoughts below, and I hope you all enjoyed :)
