Things had been tense in Salvatore Boarding House recently. Since the memorial, Stefan and Damon have been in a fight, due to Damon blood sharing with Elena. He only did this, as she was unable to keep down the animal blood, but it had royally angered Stefan. Blood sharing was a very personal thing to do, and Damon had done it with his girlfriend.

This though, it was the least of their problems. There was a new vampire hunter in town, that clearly didn't want to play nice, and had answers about the councils death. There was also the fact, Elena could only keep down blood straight from the vein, even blood bags weren't good enough.

Amelia was keeping out of the Elena drama, trying to help with the hunter problem, along with trying to get all of the 'Save Elena Gang' to trust her like Stefan and Damon do. Getting dressed into some black leggings, and a loose fitted blue jumper, she slips on some white Doc Martins before heading downstairs.

"Good day for a midlife crisis. 164 years, I'd say your due." Damon comments, as Amelia walks downstairs to see him stood by the front door, talking to Stefan who is outside working on a Motorcycle.

"Elena's transition to a vampire has been a little depressing." Stefan says, putting down his wrench and sitting down on the motorcycle seat. "I'm gonna help her have some fun."

"Oh. Those who can't teach." Damon smirks, and Amelia hits his arm unimpressed, while Stefan just rolls his eyes at the snide comment, chuckling slightly.

"So, you two are still fighting." Amelia sighs, ready to bang her head off a wall in annoyance.

"Yep" Stefan says, honestly sounding as done with the situation as she is, before turning back to Damon. "Where are you going?"

"That hunter jacked Tyler Lockwood of his werewolf venom last night, so basically he's got vampire poison in a bottle. Me and Amelia are gonna go find him, and we're gonna eat him." Damon explains to him, and Amelia nods her head in agreement, having planned this with Damon when they found out about the werewolf venom.

"I'll go with you both." Stefan offers, but Damon shakes his head before Amelia could answer.

"I don't want your help. Amelia's help will be enough. I just wanna kill this guy and get the hell outta town." Damon says, and that makes the brunette freeze and stare at him.

Stefan stares at him also, this news to both him and Amelia, while Damon takes a drink of Bourbon not bothered by their looks. "Isn't that the deal? Whoever Elena doesn't choose leaves?" Damon reminds his brother.

"You're kidding me? You're leaving over Elena?" Amelia asks in disbelief, anger towards the doppelganger rising inside of her.

Stefan avoided looking Amelia in the eye, as did Damon, knowing she'd be furious if they explained about the deal they'd made. "That was before she turned." Stefan points out, looking at his brother.

"And I stayed to help, but I take you punching me as the first clue... I'm not wanted here anymore." Damon says, causing Stefan to rolls his eyes.

"Listen, you blood shared with my girlfriend, and I punched you in the face. You deserved it. Why don't you stop being dramatic?" He says, and Damon scoffs.

"No, brother. Dramatic would be leaving before I kill this hunter" Damon tells him, before finishing his drink and walking out of the door.

Amelia grits her teeth, before taking a deep breath and following after Damon "OH NO, YOU DO NOT JUST GET TO WALK AWAY, AFTER DROPPING THAT BOMBSHELL!" Stefan rolls his eyes at her yelling, watching them both as they walk towards Damon's car.

****

The pair pull outside the hunter's caravan, both of them not speaking to one another, having spent the entire drive arguing about Damon's plan to skip town. As they walk around to the entrance of the Caravan, Damon pauses and turns to face Amelia, causing her to furrow her brows at him.

"What?" She questioned annoyed. "I just want to get this over with already"

"Come with me." He says, making her furrow her brows even more in confusion.

"Excuse me?" She asks, needing an explanation into his sudden outburst.

"When this hunter is dead, when I leave town, come with me." He explains, causing the girls eyes to widen. " We've been without each other for a long time, and now I finally have my best friend back in my life, I don't want to lose her again."

Amelia frowns at the use of the words 'Best Friend' but quickly hides it. "Damon..." She trails off with a sigh. "I only just came back to town. And I came back for reasons, that didn't involve you. I didn't even know you were alive until a few days ago."

"At least, just promise me, that you'll think about it." He sighs, his face showing his dislike for her answer.

"I promise I'll think about it." She tells him, a look of honesty on her face."Now, let's see if this hunter is home so we can kill him."

Damon grins at her, then opens the trailer door and steps inside, Amelia following behind him. He doesn't get far, as when he reaches to look at a piece of paper on the counter near him, two arrows fly out of nowhere and shoot him.

"What the hell?" Amelia questions in shock, seeing the other end of both arrows sticking out of Damon's back, making her wince slightly.

"Um...yeah" Damon mutters, stopping from going to pull the arrows out like he planned, when he sees to wire attached to them.

"Please tell those aren't bombs." Amelia says, staring at the places on the wall where both the wires lead.

"Okay, they're kittens. Adorable, exploding kittens." Damon tells her in a sarcastic tone, and she frowns, raising her eyebrows at him.

"I will just leave you explode." She tells him in a serious tone, before looking at the bombs again and running her hand through her hair in frustration. "Why don't we just call Stefan?" She suggests, trying to think of a logical solution.

"No." Damon quickly says, shaking his head and the girl rolls her eyes.

"You are way to proud and stubborn for your own good." She tells him, shoving the phone she had in hand back into her pocket.

"Exactly. And oh, look, your already here." He states. "Come on, Amy, you're not gonna get hurt. All I need is for you to channel your inner Doctor, and cut out the arrow. You know I'd do it myself, but if I attempt to move... Boom." Damon explains to her, making exploding sounds at the end and nodding to a knife nearby.

Amelia looks at the knife, then back at Damon, hesitating slightly before picking up the knife. "Fine" She says, her voice shaking slightly, as she begins to cut at the first arrow.

As she begins to cut, Damon takes the paper he was reaching for before getting hit with arrows, and begins to read it over. Amelia looks up for a moment, and peers at in interest, before going back to hacking at the arrows. "Anything interesting?"

"Pastor Young, the nice crazy guy, wrote a letter about sacrifice and war brewing in Mystic Falls." He explains to her, and she scoffs.

"I have to ask, was this Pastor on drugs or something?" She laughs, before looking over at the letter while she works, one line interesting her. "What does he mean by ' A greater evil is coming'? Surely, this town has enough evil in it already?"

"You'd think." Damon replies in hum, his phone beginning to buzz in his pocket.

As he pulls it out, they both see the caller ID, the name reading Elena. Amelia bites her tongue not to comment, while Damon just denies the call, puts his phone away again.

"I've been meaning to ask, why did we get stuck on hunter duty?" She questions, knowing she would have approach this next topic delicately.

"Stefan had a physics test." He deadpans, sounding slightly bitter.

"You're a good brother, you know that?" She sighs, looking at him with a small smile.

"I'm the bad brother." He corrects her quickly, but she shakes her head.

"You're strung up to a bomb, while Stefan plays vampire with the girl, that has clearly broken your heart. And trying very hard at pretending that doesn't suck." She informs him, placing the knife down on the table again. "You're a good brother. And now, you should be fine to pull out the arrow, and not explode."

Shooting her a gratefully look, for not only cutting out the arrow but for her words, Damon pulls out the rest of the arrows without triggering the explosions.

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

After what happened at the trailer, with the help of Meredith Fell, Klaus who is back in town and Jeremy Gilbert, they form a plan to finally get rid of this hunter. Amelia, Klaus and Damon all hide inside of the storage room, waiting for Meredith to lead the Hunter inside.

They hear the door open and remain silent, nodding to Meredith who walks past them as she hides out of of Connor's sight, as he stands looking around the room.

"Is a Hospital really the best place for a Germaphobe?" Connor questions, sensing someone else is inside the room with him, that isn't Doctor Fell.

"Did I say Germaphobe?" Damon asks, stepping out of the shadows and into view of Connor. "Pfft, sorry, I meant vampire." He says with a devilish smile.

Conner quickly takes out his gun to shoot him, but gets stabbed with an arrow before he can pull the trigger, causing him to drop the gun to the floor. As he goes to pick it up, Amelia comes out and kicks it further away from him, as another arrow stabs him. Meanwhile, Amelia stands beside Damon and watches.

Connor looks from side to side, seeing the bombs the arrows and himself are now attached to, and Damon winces with a smirk. "Stings, doesn't it?" He questions in amusement, and Connor ignores him, again reaching for the gun.

This time, Klaus steps out and pushes the gun with his foot, causing Connor to look up at him. "Hello mate."

Connor looks up at Damon and Amelia, and they both give him condescending smiles and waves, finding a lot of amusement in this entire scenario. The hunter doesn't quit, and keeps trying to find a way out of this mess, and Amelia tuts at him.

"Keep this up, and we'll be scraping you off the ceiling." She says, leaning against the wall behind her.

"You three are gonna kill me anyway." Connor points out, stating the blindingly obvious.

"Well, let's not be too hasty." Klaus says. "I feel like we're just getting to know you."

"Start with the basics." Damon suggests. "Where are you from? What do you know? Maybe you can cue me in on this greater evil, because I've fought this guy." He continues, nodding to Klaus "and there's nothing more evil then that."

"Well, Lucifer maybe." Amelia pipes up from behind, and both Damon and Klaus give her looks, making her hold her hands up in innocence.

"I'll just shut up." She says, and Damon nods at her.

"Yeah, truth be told, I'm as evil as it gets." Klaus continues on from Damon's previous statement, hearing Amelia whisper out the name Lucifer, but choosing to ignore her.

"I'm not telling you anything. You think if you kill me, it's gonna be over? There's another waiting to take my place." Connor snarls at them all, and they can tell he is serious by the look on his face.

"See, this is what I like to hear." Damon begins. "Vague threats, ominous prophecies, disappearing tattoo's..." The Salvatore trails off, and Amelia notices the way Klaus snaps into attention, at the mention of tattoo's.

"What do you mean 'Tattoo's' "Klaus questions, glancing between Damon and Amelia, a very demanding tone in his voice.

"Don't bother. You can't see the damn thing." Damon tells him, brushing the subject off, while Amelia raises her eyes at the hybrid in suspicion.

She knows him well enough to know, that he knows more then he is letting one when he gets like this, but finding out what he is hiding is usually the hard part. Damon and her watch, as Klaus leans closer to Connor, looking him up and down.

"There's more to you then meets the eye, isn't there?" Klaus questions, and Connor just stares at him for a moment, before pulling out a stake to stab Klaus.

The hybrid grabs his wrist, the stake getting nowhere near close enough to hurt him. "Nice try, but I'm faster then your average vampire." Klaus tells him, with a glare.

He then twists the Hunter's arm and grabs the stake, and his eyes widen intrigued when he sees the symbol carved on the stake, then look back at Connor. "You're one of the Five."

"The what?" The pair behind question baffled, staring at the hybrid and hunter.

"I'm faster then the average Hunter." Connor states, then rips the arrows from him, triggering the bombs.

Damon quickly grabs Amelia around the waist and rushes them out of them room. They just make it out on time, the room exploding as they fall to the ground on the hallway outside, staying laid on the ground shielding themselves as rumble and bits of glass fly around them due to the explosion.

****

Damon is staying in town, after some convincing from Amelia,and now promising to teach Elena how to properly feed. The Hunter is dead, which crosses something off the list of things everyone has to worry about. Amelia is laid in bed in her room at the Boarding House, the book Of Mice and Men resting on her lap, reading quietly as she tries to fall asleep.

"Knock, Knock." She hears a voice say, and she looks to see Stefan stood in the doorway, and she smiles at him.

"Hey Stef." She smiles, then shifts over in bed and pats the now empty space beside her. "Care to join me?" She questions, closing her book, then grins as Stefan nods his head and walks over.

Stefan kicks off his shoes, and lays down beside in the bed, getting under the covers after she forces him to. Amelia rests her head on his chest, as they both lay there in a comfortable silence.

"I've missed you, Amelia. I've missed this." Stefan says after a while, breaking their silence, and causing Amelia to look up at him and smile.

"I've missed it too, Stefan." She says, then smiles a small smile. "Do you remember, when your Mother used to allow me to sleep at your house, and I would always lay in bed with you and read you stories till you feel asleep?" She questions, and he nods.

"Damon would always get jealous, and accuse me of stealing you from him every time. Then you would smack him up the side of the head, tell him he was being silly, and he would let it drop without another word." He recalls, then looks at her. "You need to teach me how you could get him to shut up like that."

"Skill. Mad skill." She smirks, before cuddling into his chest and yawning.

"Night Stefan." She yawns, her eyes falling shut as sleep overcomes her.

"Night Amy."
