27 - True Lies
Damon, Amelia and Liz stand at the Quarry, overlooking the large lake and waterfall before them, Liz wearing a very skeptical look on her face. They were there for a reason,and it pained Amelia to think what could be happening, has been happening all Summer.
Silas told Damon he was making Stefan suffer, exactly how he had suffered all those years, being trapped on the Island in the cave. Immediately, they thought of the Quarry, and how that was where Stefan was meant to put Silas' body. If Stefan was in the Quarry, he had been drowning repeatedly all Summer, while they had the time of their lives.
"Damon, I know I said I'd help find your brother, but I can't dredge the entire Quarry. It's enormous" Liz tells them honestly, glancing between the Quarry and the two Vampires.
"I'm aware of that. I mean, clearly that's why we wanted to dump Silas' body here because it's big and deep and no one would find him" Damon explains knowingly "Now say I'm Silas and I wanted to take over my Doppelgangers life, why wouldn't I dump him in a place that is big and deep and no one would find him ?"
Liz sighs "Damon, I already agreed to hold off on telling anyone about the Mayor's death until you figure this all out, but I can't devote those kinds of resources to finding one person who may or may not be down there"
"But it's a pace to start, and if Stefan's down there...." The Salvatore trials off, guilt washing over his face "It means he's been drowning over and over again all summer while I've been happily playing house with Amelia. Do I need to further elaborate the source of my urgency ?"
Noticing the look on his and Amelia's face, how guilty the look at the thought of Stefan, she finally gives in "I'll get some Deputies on it"
Damon and Amelia flash her grins "Thank you Liz"
"Well, I feel crappy" Amelia sighs as Liz walks away, her eyes focused on the large lake before them.
She hears Damon mutter something along the lines of 'Join the club', when he answers the phone to Jeremy "Please tell me you found her ?"
"Yeah, have you found the bitch ?"
"I didn't" Jeremy begins "But Matt did"
"Huh" Damon says, looking shocked for a moment "How shockingly useful" Making Amelia elbow him in the ribs, giving him a small glare.
"She was mid cat fight with some lady who maced her" The Gilbert boy explains to them "We think Silas might of mind controlled himself some new friends"
Damon lets out a small scoff, disbelief of this written all over his face "How exactly did the Gilbert - Donovan brain trust put all that together ? Never mind. Doesn't matter. Just hide her. If Silas wants her bad enough, to sic the whole town on her, that means we want her more. Stay out of sight. You're the last person Silas saw her with"

Damon and Amelia stayed at the Quarry that day, watching as Officers dredge the Quarry, silently hoping Stefan wasn't down there. They felt guilty enough as it was, if he was really down there like they thought, it would make it worse.
Damon was talking with an Officer, and Amelia leaned against the car, playing a game on his phone since hers died. Her concentration is broke, when his phone begins to ring in her hands, and Elena's name appears on the Caller ID. A frown forms on her lips, before pressing answer and putting the phone to her ear.
"What do you want, Elena ?" She asks bluntly, giving Damon a look to hush, when he walks over to her with a confused look.
"Oh, Amelia, hey. Is, er, Damon around ?"
"Honey, even if he was, I wouldn't put him on. We're busy. Now, is there a reason you called, or can I hang up now ?"
A smirk plays on Damon's lips, unable not to admire the way she is acting. Her jealously, her protectiveness of him, in his eyes is rather cute. After everything it took to get to this point, them being together, he couldn't blame her.
Elena feel silent for a moment "You still don't trust me with him, do you ?"
Amelia rolls her eyes "Gee, I wonder what gave you that impression ?"
"Amelia, I meant what I did the night of Graduation. You and Damon deserve to be happy together, and I'm not going to get in the way of that, not anymore" The Doppelganger argues, sick of the lack of trust Amelia still holds for her, even though she does have valid reasons to.
Amelia just sighs "Look, Elena, we're busy. I've said this, I have no time to argue with you, so can we just hang up now"
"I - Stefan ?" Amelia and Damon both tense at her words.
"Erm, no still me" The Evans girl answers, her face laced with confusion at what Elena just said.
"Stefan's here right now" The Gilbert girl informs her, sounding almost dazed when she speaks of the Younger Salvatore brother.
"What ?" But then realization hits her, and panic runs through Amelia "Wait, no, Elena that isn't -" But the line goes dead before she can continue.
Exchanging looks, the pair don't even think twice about what too do next, and quickly get into the car. If Silas gets to Elena, God only knows what could happen, and Elena will find out everything going on. Her coming home to help, or getting kidnapped by the immortal freak, is the last thing they need at the moment. They need to be focusing on finding Stefan.
*******
When they arrive at Whitmore, the couple find their way to Elena and Caroline's dorm, going inside without a second thought. When the door bursts open, Caroline squeaks and wraps the towel around her naked boy tighter, having only just got out of the shower.
"Damon ! Amelia ! Towel ! Knock !" Caroline scolds with a glare, but the pair give her unfazed looks.
"Caroline, no one cares" They snap back in stereo, which freaks Caroline out slightly, but she refrains from comment "Hey, where's Elena ?" Damon then asks, as they see no sign of the Doppelganger in the room.
"I don't know" The Blonde shrugs "She probably went to the Bonfire to get more Intel on our weirdo professor" And Amelia realizes, that was what Elena called about earlier, something to do with one of their Professors.
Damon doesn't seem bothered, more focused on the current situation at hand "Silas is here. He's here with Elena, pretending to be Stefan. Get dressed"
Caroline crinkled her face at them in confusion "I thought that Stefan dropped his body in the Quarry"
The Salvatore scoffed "Join the club. Get dressed"
But Caroline remains stood still, hugging the towel around her body, even when Amelia flings a random outfit at her "Oh my God, Oh my God. Elena was right. All summer, she's had a pit in hr stomach about Stefan"
This time, Amelia and Damon look at her in confusion, no idea what she is going on about "What ?"
"I don't know" She begins to explain "She just said that she a weird feeling something was wrong with him"
"Oh, we don't have time for this. We'll deal with Elena's problems when we find her" Amelia snaps, before turning on her heel and walking out of the, Damon following not to far behind her.
When Caroline is finally ready, they head out and search the campus, looking for any sign of Elena or Silas. Caroline split off from them, so that they could cover more ground, hoping it would make it easier to find them.
"Hello, Brother" A voice says, and the couple look to their side, to see Silas is now beside them "But I suppose distant nephew is probably more accurate. Hello again, Amelia, it's been a while"
She glares at him "Yeah, not long enough, you immortal freak of nature"
Silas feigns hurt "Ouch, you wound me, I thought we had something special. I mean, we did share something special on prom night, or did that mean nothing to you"
"What ?" Damon demands, looking between his girlfriend and his brothers carbon copy, and Amelia winces when she sees the look on his face.
Honestly, she had pushed what happened that night to the back of her mind, hoping to just forget about it forever. Yest, sadly, it seems nothing can remain buried. Or drowning at the bottom of the Quarry, like it should be.
"Oh, me and Amelia kissed" Silas tells him bluntly "But, if it helps, I appeared to her as you. She thought she was kissing you"
"Can you shut the hell up" She snarled at him, before looking at Damon, barely meeting his eye "Look, I can explain that later, but now isn't the time. And, I know this won't really help, but he is telling the truth"
When Amelia looked at Silas again, he grinned at her, looking proud of the tension he caused between the pair. Knowing she's about to do something stupid, Amelia storms off to look for Elena, leaving Damon alone with Silas.
********
By the time dark hits, Elena is still nowhere to be found. The Campus is now packed, all the students out for the Bonfire, drinking and partying the night away. Leaning against a tree, Amelia throws her head back and sighs, running her hand through her hair in annoyance.
When she looks up again, her eyes narrowed to someone stood by a beer keg, gulping down a cup very quickly. Realizing who it is, she walks over with her arms folded over her chest "We've been looking everywhere for you" She hisses, making Elena jump in slight surprise.
"Amelia ?" She questions "What are you doing here ?"
"Looking for your sorry ass" She responds "We thought you were in trouble, but no, your having the time of your life"
"Time of my life ?" Elena repeats, her cheeks growing red in anger "Stefan told me everything, Amelia, everything you and Damon have been keeping from me"
Amelia raised a eyebrow at her, interested to hear what exactly Silas told her "He did, did he ? So, what exactly did her tell you, Elena ? What have me and Damon kept from you ?"
"Jeremy getting expelled, the fight he had with the pair of you about it, and him now being missing. What the hell, Amelia ? I get, you don't like me or trust me, but I deserved to know about this. You couldn't just keep it from me" Elena snaps, unleashing some pent up rage at the Evans girl.
"Actually, we could, and you don't have the whole truth" Amelia replies, not at all effected by her temper "You see, you just talked to -"
But she is cut off, by a random guy Elena seems to know walking over, smiling at the pair and handing Elena a beer "You look like you're having a shitty night" He comments, watching amused as she looks a the cup a moment, before gulping down the beer quickly.
"Ex Boyfriend and his new Girlfriend trouble" The Doppelganger informs him, wiping her mouth when she is done, before nodding to Amelia "His new Girlfriend, Amelia"
Amelia gives him a smirk and wave "Hi, how ya doing ?"
"Hi, I'm Jessie" He introduces awkwardly, before glancing back to Elena "Wow. Ex Boyfriend and his girlfriend drama, kicked out of class... today's not your day"
"What's his deal anyway ?"
Jessie smirks at her "Dr Dickfield ?" Which causes Amelia to let a snort of amusement, even if no idea what they are on about.
The Gilbert girl nods "Yeah, him"
"Tell you what" Jessie begins " Help me grab some more firewood, and I will tell you everything you need to know"
Elena considers it a moment, before nodding, not seeing a reason why not "Okay" And since, she had only just found the girl, she wanted to keep her in sight so Amelia followed the pair.
Walking into a small shed, Jessie begins to collect up firewood for the Bonfire, while the girls lean against a nearby table "I had Doctor Maxfield for a few classes last year. He's a jerk, but he's brilliant, so I'll give him a pass" Jessie explains to them, mainly glancing at Elena as he speaks.
"Brilliant and creepy"
Jessie chuckles "There's a rumor that he's part of a secret Society on campus"
Elena raises her eyes "What like middle aged men at a Elk lodge ?"
"I have no idea" He replies honestly "All I know is that a few times a week they supposedly meet at Whitmore house, but you didn't hear that from me"
Suddenly, Damon rushes in the room, picking up some wood and using it to knock Jessie out and to the ground. Amelia just looks impressed, while Elena glares at the Salvatore "Damon ? What the hell ?"
Caroline comes in quickly behind, and groans at what she sees "Seriously ? That's Jessie. I kind of liked him"
*******
After a long night, mainly spent explaining to Elena everything going on and about Silas, they stood the next day preparing to leave Whitmore. Due to everything, Elena is leaving with them, wanting to come home and help with everything going on. Amelia wasn't impressed with the idea, but she didn't argue with it, she didn't have the energy.
Her stuff in the car, Elena went to say goodbye to Caroline, leaving Damon and Amelia for the first time since yesterday. They both leaned back against the car, stood in a slightly awkward silence, after Silas running his mouth about Prom last night.
"I'm sorry" She pipes up, breaking the silence and glancing up at Damon "I can get if you're mad at me"
"I'm not mad" He sighs "Finding out through Silas, that sucks and I'm annoyed about that, but I'm not mad at you for it. He got in your head, appeared as me, I get why it happened. At least, now I know why you were off with me at Prom, then disappeared to New Orleans with Klaus for a few days"
She winced at Klaus' mention "About that.." She trialed off, wanting to be completely honest with him "Klaus kissed me, just before I left New Orleans to come home. It didn't mean anything, but it happened"
"He kissed you ?" He repeats "You didn't kiss him back or initiate it ?"
"No" She says, shaking her head violently "He was confused about how he felt, I guess. It cleared things up, I don't like him in that way, he's more of brother to me"
"Then I don't care" Damon told her, surprising the girl a little "We weren't together, I'm not mad about it"
"I thought you would be, I'm really surprised your not"
Damon smiles a small smile at her, taking her hands and pulling her close to him, leaning his forward against hers "Those things don't matter, Amy, none of them. Okay, it does suck they happened, but it doesn't matter. What matters is, they were before we got together, and it's not like you wanted them to happen. You and me, that's all that matters now, and all that is ever going to matter. I love you, and I'm not going to let anything change that"
A grin appears on her lips, relief rushing through her "I love you too" She smiles, before pressing her lips against his, sweetly and passionately.
This took forever to update, it's shit, and I'm so sorry. I'm trying to make this book my main priority, I am, but everything is piling up at once. Summer is nearly over, I start college on the 13th, and I'm already revising to resist my Math GCSE exam. I got a D, only a few marks off a C, which sucks massively.
Season 5, while I am excited to write this season, isn't my favorite season ever. Season 4 and 6 have always been my favorites to watch and write. But, this is a big season for Amelia and Damon, so I'm going to be putting a lot more effort and time into writing it.
This chapter, not all of the scenes from the episode are in it, but it had to be changed so it works. I started another Damon book called Verity, which is going to be started soon, alongside Fool For You and Forever Yours (If it wasn't obvious already, Damon is my favorite Salvatore)
Tell me what you all think, and I'll get another chapter up soon, I swear. Also, anyone seen the pictures of TO season 4, or Hope and all the Mikaelson's together ? It mad my heart melt, I can't wait till January for season 4, I just can't.
Okay, enough rambling, enjoy guys :)
