The next morning, Damon and Amelia lay side by side in bed, without clothes on and only a sheet covering them. Both are awake, but are just laid in silence, unsure of what to say to one another. Attempting to break up, is what has lead them to this place, which is why Amelia is scared to talk.

Instead, she wrapped the sheet around her body tightly, and clambered out of the large bed. Walking toward the closet, she pulled out a random set of clothes and threw them on, before gathering up her destroyed ones from the floor. Damon just stayed in bed, but sat up and watched her move around, barely looking at him as she went.

"We should probably talk about this" He commented, finally breaking the silence that was looming over them, as she walked into the bathroom.

She ignored him, quickly washing up and tying her hair up, before walking back out into the main bedroom. Glancing at the bed, she saw Damon was no longer there, and she just let out a small sigh.

She turned to walk out, to go downstairs and find Stefan, but instead jumped back with a yelp. In the doorway, stood Damon leaned against the door frame with a smirk, his arms folded against his bare chest. Though, a shirt wasn't the only piece of clothing he was missing.

"Um" She choked, blinking as she looked him up and down, trying to form a sentence "You should probably get dressed, before someone who shouldn't sees you like that"

Damon simply shook his head "Nope" He answered, popping the p "I'm not doing anything until we talk about last night"

"What is there to talk about ?" She fired back "You tried to break up with me, and it ended in sex"

"Me trying to break up with you, is what needs to be spoken about" He sighs, running a hand through his black locks "I'm sorry" He says sheepishly, and by the look on his face, she could tell he was being genuine about it "I let everything that happened get to me, and didn't want people to look at you differently, just because you're with me. I love you, Amelia, and I want what's best for you"

Sighing, she smiled a small smile at him. Picking up a towel, she walked over and wrapped it around his waist, before wrapping him into a hug. Gently, she pressed her lips against his for a few seconds, before pulling away "You're forgiven. But, Damon, I don't care about who you or your past. I love you, and I'm not going anywhere. Despite how hard you try to get rid of me"

He just chuckled, before pressing his lips back against her, grabbing her by the waist and pulling her closer to him. When Amelia's phone began to buzz, they pulled apart, Damon groaning and glaring as she answers the phone.

Only because he saw the Caller ID.

"Stef, I hope this is important. Me and Damon were in the middle of something" She giggles, noticing the look Damon is pulling.

"Well, you're both gonna want to hear this" Stefan answered "Katherine had a heart attack. She's alive, but her entire body is failing. According to the Doctors, she had until the end of the day, if that"

The couple exchanged looks at the news in surprise. After all thsi time, Katherine Pierce was finally going to be out of their lives, for good.

*******

After receiving the news, Damon and Amelia gathered with Matt and Jeremy in the library, armed with Bourbon and shot glasses. In their minds, this was cause for celebration.

"Rule number one" Damon began, after lining up and filling the shot glasses with Bourbon "Think of the worst thing Katherine Pierce has ever done to you. Rule number two, toast to the glory of her impending death. Rule number three, if you come across something that's worse...which you will...repeat rules one and two"

The he grabbed a shot, holding it up "She pretended to be locked in a tomb for 145 years while I waited for her lying ass" He then downed it, and picked up another one, looking over at Jeremy "Wait. Does that beat pretending to be Elena and kissing me on the porch of your old house ?"

Jeremy just smirked, shrugging his shoulders "I don't think so"

"I don't think so either"Damon agrees, before downing another shot "Damon. Quarterback, go"

"Um..."

"Think on that" The Salvatore tells him, moving on "Little Gilbert"

Jeremy thinks for a moment, before one of many comes to mind "She fed me to Silas, and I died"

"Doozy" Damon comments, as Jeremy drinks his shot, then puts his hand on another.

"Then she crashed my car into a pole and left me for dead again" He adds on.

"Double Doozy. Drink" Damon says, then looks to his girlfriends "Amy, go"

Amelia smirked, grabbing a shot "Where should I begin ?" She mutters, earning a small chuckle from the boys "In 1864, she was determined to get me out of your life" She nods to Damon, downing her shot then grabbing another "Because of her, I was turned by the Vampires leftover from the town round up" She gulps down yet another shot, before grabbing her final one "Oh, and during our hunt for the the cure, she smashed a vase over my head and snapped my neck"

"Triple thread" Damon muses, causing Amelia to roll her eyes at him.

Matt finally lifts up a shot "My sisters dead because of her"

"Yes, she is because I wouldn't of even been in town to turn Vicki into a murderous vampire if I wasn't trying to get Katherine out a tomb she wasn't in" The Salvatore adds, before handing his girlfriend and the two humans a shot "Group shot"

They all knocked it back, just as the sound of three different peoples footsteps approached. "Seriously ?" A ludicrous voice spoke, making Amelia close her eyes and sigh annoyance, the voice immediately recognizable to the ears.

Matt spluttered on his current shot, turning around to face Elena walking toward them, with Caroline and Bonnie following closely behind her "Elena, we were just, uh..." The Donovan boy fails in explanation, no logical excuses coming to mind.

"I know what you're doing" She says, before narrowing her eyes at Jeremy "You're cut off" Then, she lines up four shots on the table in front of herself, drinking one every time she lists one of Katherine's wicked deeds"If anyone is drinking to Katherine's last days, it's gonna be me. She impersonated me... repeatedly. Made Aunt Jenna stab herself in the stomach and cut off Uncle John's fingers"

Jeremy's lips formed a small smirk "He may of deserved that" Elena rolled her eyes, but didn't disagree with him.

"My Grams died trying to close a tomb she wasn't in" Bonnie says.

Caroline looked down "Tyler's werewolf curse got triggered because of her"

"Klaus followed her to Mystic Falls, and because of that, we lost Jenna" Elena remembers sadly, and Damon nods, grabbing a shot of his own and adding "And Alaric"

The two full bottles of Bourbon, were now nearly completely empty, and they all had a lot more of Katherine's sins to list. Matt grabbed the empty bottles, and got to his feet "We're gonna need more booze"

"Oh, hell yes we are" Amelia mused in agreement "I lost over 100 years with Stefan and Damon because of her"

"She tried to kill me at least twice" Elena comments.

"She did kill me'" The Forbes Vampire states, before he faces twists in slight confusion "Although I'm weirdly better off"

*******

Things took a dramatic turn after that, and their day of celebration, turned into something it shouldn't of. First, they found out Stefan had very recently, lost his remaining sense and had sex with Katherine. Damon had been the one to let it slip, and Amelia nearly threw a empty Bourbon bottle at him, in complete disbelief Stefan would do that. Then, the spawn of the Devil made an appearance, Katherine's daughter Nadia.

Sadly, she had found a way to save her Mother's life, but needed help for it to work. No one wanted to, and Damon threatened to hurt anyone who did volunteer, but in the end they were left with no choice. Nadia had buried Matt alive, so if they didn't help her, Matt would die.

While Stefan and Elena went with Nadia, Damon went upstairs to torture Katherine as much as he could, while the rest went to search the property for where Matt could be buried.

"I don't see any freshly dug ground" Jeremy sighs, as the four walk down the properties gravel pathway, heading toward the woodland area surrounding the Boarding House.

"This property is massive" Bonnie adds on, sounds of defeat in her tone, well before they had even begun.

"Don't worry" Amelia attempted to assure "We'll find him"

"Hello!" Caroline practically squeals in their ears "Is no one gonna comment on the fact Stefan slept with Katherine ? I mean, that's kind of a big deal"

"Well, you already know my opinion on it" Amelia mutters lowly in response.

The Gilbert boy shrugged "Does it matter ? We've all slept with our fair share of wrong choices" And Bonnie looked at him hurt, while the Evans girl contemplated his words.

He had a good point. Honestly, sleeping with Stefan was hers. It caused so much drama, and made the entire situation with Damon and Elena so much worse, but at the time it seemed so right. They got caught up in a moment, a moment of sadness and despair, that later came back to bite them.

"No offense taken" Bonnie scoffs, making Jeremy regret his words.

"No, obviously not you"

Caroline froze on the spot, while the other three continued to walk ahead, only stopping when they realized she wasn't following them. The Blonde Vampire, stared wide eyed at Bonnie, a wide and giddy smile on her face "Bonnie Bennett! Did you two ? And you didn't tell me ?"

Bonnie held up her hands in surrender  "I didn't think I was obligated"

"Of course your obligated" Caroline states like it was obvious "You're my best friend. Oh, my God1 Does Elena know that her little brother..."

"Non!" The couple snap in stereo, and Amelia can't help but shake her head, chuckling at them bemused.

"Aw! Scandalous sex! Even better! God, how am I the only person on the planet who's not having scandalous sex?" Caroline complained, while the couple gave her disgusted and disturbed look, and Amelia continued to chuckle at her.

"Why don't we split up and think about that ?" Jeremy suddenly suggests, seeing a opportunity to escape the Blonde's questions.

"Good idea" Amelia said, before grabbing Caroline by the wrist and dragging her off "We'll cover more ground. We'll meet you back at the house"

********

"MATT!" Caroline called out, as the two girls wandered around the woods, searching for any signs of where the Quarterback could be "MATT, WE'RE COMING FOR YOU !"

"God sake, we gave her volunteers, couldn't Nadia of gave us his location" Amelia moaned in annoyance, as still no signs of dug ground appeared.

They continued to trek ahead, searching and calling out for the Donovan boy as they went, until Caroline froze when they rounded the next turn. Amelia furrowed her brows in confusion, seeing the blonde staring off at something, before following her look.

"Hello, Caroline. Hello, Amelia"

Amelia bit back a smile, placing a hand on her hip and looking him up and down, surprised her actually came. After hearing about Katherine from Stefan, Damon and Amelia both knew he needed to be informed, even if it made Damon slightly uncomfortable.

"Klaus" The two girls breath out together, though both with different tones laced through their voices.

But, Caroline quickly composed herself "Sorry, Matt's buried alive, no time to chat" Then, without another word, rushed off from the scene.

Amelia stayed put, and glanced at the Original Hybrid with a smirk "Well, well, well. Look what the cat dragged in"

Klaus rolled his eyes "A pleasure to see you too, love"

The Evans girl laughed, before walking over and giving him a friendly hug, which he returned without hesitation. When they hugged, they were both certain of one thing. There was no feeling there, no feelings that go beyond friendship. They both loved other people, and the kiss in New Orleans all those months ago, would remain a experiment in their past.

"You got my text I see ?" She hummed, as she pulled away from him.

"Yes. Rebekah is around, though, she is a bit preoccupied at the moment. You won't have to worry about young Matthew, love, he's in very capable hands" He informed the girl, and it didn't take a fool to figure out why Rebekah was busy.

Amelia simply smirked "Matt will be pleased. I don't think I've seen him with a women since Rebekah left. Now, I know you're dying to go after Caroline, so go"

Klaus grinned at her "You know me so well, sweetheart" Then, he bid her goodbye before rushing off, heading the same direction as the Forbes girl.

Amelia just laughed, before turning and making her way out of the woods, making her way back to the Boarding House.

********

By the time evening came, everyone had gathered back at the Boarding house, sat on the couches by the roaring fire. Caroline still hadn't returned though, and Matt had been back in safety for a while now, but Amelia had a good idea why. As for the Salvatore brothers, they were sat outside talking alone, and everyone left them to it. They hadn't acted close in a while, they needed that time to themselves.

As for Elena, she was with Katherine, saying her final goodbyes to her Doppelganger.

Suddenly, the front door opens revealing Caroline, zipping up her jacket tight and pulling a leaf from her hair. Amelia smirks, which earns her a narrowed look to stay quiet, as the blonde takes a seat down beside Matt.

"Where have you been ?" He asks, to which she shrugs.

"In the woods, I got lost" She lies quickly, before changing the subject "So what are we doing ?"

"Waiting for Katherine to bite it" Jeremy replies, leaned back on a couch with Bonnie, a arm wrapped around her shoulder.

At the mention of her death, Matt glances over at Bonnie "So this anchor thing, does it mean that you'll, like, be able to feel Katherine's death or whatever ?" He questions her curiously.

"I think so" She answers, sitting forward slightly "I mean, she's human, but she's also a Doppelganger and Traveler apparently"

"So who else do you see over there ? Anybody I know ?"

" I see lots of people" She answers, with a faint smile resting on her lips "My grams, the other witches. Vicki. I just talk about it, you know, just..." But she trials off mid sentence, turning smiling at the doorway behind, which appeared to be empty to everyone else in the room.

"Bon ?" Amelia asks, confused as to what is going on.

Matt gives the Anchor the same glance "What's happening ?"

"She's here" Bonnie answers, referring to his sister Vicki "She said she loves you"

Vicki clearly was saying more to Bonnie, though, Matt didn't get chance to find out what it was. As he asked, a new voice piped up, making them all look toward the front door "Me" Tyler says, making Matt smile before giving him a friendly hug.

"Tyler ?" Caroline chokes out, and Tyler looks over at her awkwardly.

"Rebekah says to tell you I'm her parting gift" He tells them all, before meeting eyes with Amelia "And she expects to hear from you soon" To which the Evans girl nods, rolling her eyes.

AS Tyler joins them all, Damon and Stefan appear again, also joining everyone gathered around. Amelia gets to her feet, walking over and wrapping her arms around Damon, resting her head on his shoulder. He smiles, kissing her temple softly, before pouring them both a drink.

"Have we really gone through four bottles of Bourbon today ?" Stefan asks, well more states, as he gathers up the empty bottles.

"Oh my God" Bonnie states, both her and Jeremy looking toward that doorway again, smiles plastered on their faces.

"Alaric ?" Jeremy asks, unable to hide his joy.

Damon looks up at the mention of his friends name "Ric's here ?"

Jeremy ignores Damon, firing questions at the Ghost "Where the hell have you been ? I thought you bailed on us to go find peace or something ?"

The answer he receives makes the Gilbert boy chuckle, and Damon raises a eye in suspicion "He's talking about me, isn't he ?"

"He says your a dick" Jeremy tells him, chuckling some more.

Damon just looks toward the doorway, raising his glass in the air "Cheers buddy" He toasts sadly, and Amelia just hugs him in comfort, giving a small nod toward where Alaric is supposed to be standing.

"Katherine"

When Bonnie breathes that out, all eyes land on her once more.

"Ding dong" Damon chimes "Does that mean the witch is dead ?"

Slowly, Bonnie gives a nod, making total silence fall around the room. After all this time, and everything she had done, Katherine Pierce was out of their lives for good.

So, this isn't written well, but it's the best I got currently. Of course, we all know we haven't see the last of Katherine, and those chapters are going to be very fun to write. Damelia is still going strong, I know the last chapter made some of you very nervous about their relationship stability.

I hope you all enjoyed, and I'll try to update again soon :)
