Damon, Amelia, Bonnie and Elena got out of the car, and stepped onto the campus of Whitmore College, looking around the crowds of students all walking in different directions and the large buildings holding classrooms. 

Amelia didn't want to come on this trip. The only reason Damon and Elena are here, is so Damon can teach Elena how to feed without killing someone, and watching them together wasn't what Amelia wanted to spend her day doing. But Stefan begged her to go, as he didn't trust Damon not to make a move on Elena when they were alone. 

"Are you sure your okay with this ?" Elena questions Bonnie concerned, as she closes her car door, and looks at her Best Friend stood beside her. 

"If I could spell out of wanting blood, I would. But I can't, so better you doing this now then at Freshman orientation" Bonnie tells her with a sigh, looking around at the campus in interest. 

"Something tells me that College isn't in my future anymore" Elena states with a sad look, and Amelia just leans against Damon's car, rolling her eyes at the Doppelganger. 

"Oh, stop the pity party. If I can go to college, you can go to college" Damon tells her, walking toward the two girls, with Amelia walking slowly behind him. 

"You ? Went to college ?" Bonnie question with wide eyes, sounding surprised and skeptical.

"Sure. Plenty of times. I always had a thing for sorority girls" Damon smirks, causing Bonnie and Elena to frown in disgust, and Amelia to elbow him in the side.

"You're disgusting" Bonnie tells him in blunt honesty, her arms folded over her chest. 

"I know" Damon replies, not looking hurt by her comment at all, and the girls shake their heads and walk off ahead.

Amelia smiles at the fact they are walking ahead, then loops her arm through Damon's and walks with him, looking at him with a curious look "Apart from to eat sorority girls, why did you come to college ?" She questions him as they walk along, following the witch and doppelganger to a large building. 

"I went through a phase. I was bored, needed something to do, and my humanity was somewhat on. College seemed vaguely interesting, and offered some entertainment" Damon shrugs, before letting do of Amelia's arm and running up to the door of the building, and holding it open for her.

Amelia smiles at him teasingly "Such the gentleman, Mr Salvatore" She giggles.

"Anything for you, Ms Evans" Damon replies, chuckling slightly as she walks past him and inside. 

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

The four walk in, and sneak to the back of the lecture hall, taking a seat at the back. At the front is the Professor, young with dark curly hair, talking to the rows of students. His name is Professor Shane, and he was friends with Bonnie's Grams, when she used to teach classes here. 

"I say the word 'witch', what pops into your head ? Halloween Costume ? Villain of a fairy tale ? Maybe an Ex Girlfriend. Well,whatever image it is, it's probably not Tanielle Soso" He says, bringing an image up onto the projector to show everyone.

"Is that him ?" Elena questions, looking at Bonnie who is in the seat beside her.

"Yeah" Bonnie hums in reply, and Elena smiles a small smile.

"He's kind of...." She trails off, glancing at Professor Shane yet again, and Bonnie smirks at her clearly thinking whatever she is. 

"Hot" The witch states, and they both begin to laugh holding their hands over their mouths so they wouldn't be heard by anyone else.

Damon looks at them and rolls his eyes, then turns to whisper quietly to Amelia for some conversation he won't be annoyed by, but finds her staring at the Professor with a interested look on her face. Only this time, instead of rolling his eyes and ignoring it, a angry sensation rushes through him.

Almost like he was jealous, but he didn't even know why. Noticing him glaring at her in the corner of her eye, Amelia stops staring at Shane and looks at him "What ?" She asks oblivious, and he just shakes his head, and turns away like nothing happened.

"I'm an admittedly crappy photographer. Now, in reality, or in this reality, at least, witches have appeared in every culture across History. They're the architects of the Supernatural. Responsible for everything that goes bump in the night, from ghosts to Vampires to Doppelgangers..." Shane lists, and Damon quietly scoffs.

"What is this guy, Witchipedia ?" Damon remarks quietly, causing Elena and Amelia to chuckle, and Bonnie to glare at them all.

"Shh, shut up" She hisses, more interested in the lecture then Damon's snide commentary.

"Now, if you're a skeptic, you'd call it coincidence. But if you're a true believer... You that, there isn't really such a thing" Shane continues, but Amelia has stopped paying attention, and is listening on Damon and Elena whispering to one another. 

"What if I'm... a ripper ?" The Doppelganger questions quietly.

"You're not a ripper" Damon says bluntly.

"What if I am" Elena carries on not giving the idea up that easily. 

"Well, then, pick someone and we'll find out.  Stoner guys are no good to grab. They're too paranoid and you don't want the extra buzz" Damon begins to explain to her, and Amelia looks at the crowd of students they are looking at, to see Elena looking a young Geeky girl. 

"Nope, don't go for the Geeky girl. She may be fun sized, but her type are always too alert. Suspicious of anyone who's nice to them" Amelia whispers to the Doppelganger, and while Damon looks surprised she is trying to help, Elena gives her a grateful small smile. 

"She's right. Now, what you want it the little blonde, pretty girl. Self absorbed, easily flattered. You jut have to separate her from the pack and make your move" Damon informs the Newbie Doppelganger Vamp, who just slowly nods while staring at the described girl, clearly processing all of this new information. 

"Am I interrupting you guys ?" Professor Shane asks, making them turn back to the front and see he is staring at them, his eyes raised "Or maybe it is the other way around"

"Sorry" Elena mutters sheepishly, looking down and avoiding eye contact.

Amelia just gives him an apologetic smile, and Shane gives a small smile back, ignoring the glares he can see Damon giving him for it.

"Sorry" Damon states, causing the pair to break eye contact "I was just saying how much I love witches" 

"Yeah, you and me both, brother" Shane replies, before looking away from them, and back to the rest of his class " All right, listen, we should probably talk about the readings that none of you did"

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

Amelia, Damon and Elena followed the targeted blonde student outside, after the class had finished, knowing it was time for Elena to try and feed. Damon and Amelia stop a few feet behind, and Elena looks at them, visibly nervous. 

"She's young and healthy, she'll heal up like a charm. Just keep your eye on the ball" The eldest Salvatore encourages her, and teh Doppelganger gives him an annoyed look. 

"It's not a game, Damon" She tells him, and he rolls his eyes.

"No, you're right, it's not a game. It is a key skill you need to learn, if to have any chance in hell of surviving as a Vampire" Amelia snaps at her, being blunt knowing it is the best option. 

Damon gives Amelia a look, knowing that won't help the situation whatsoever, then turns to Elena "Now, just go. Just like we practiced. That's all you have to do" He tells her, and nodding slowly the doppelganger turns away from them, and catches up to the Blonde girl. 

"Hey, your in my Anthro class, right ?" Elena questions, stopping the girl by tapping her on the shoulder to get her attention. 

"Uh, yeah, I guess so" The Blonde replies, shrugging her shoulders lightly.

"I, uh, totally spaced and forget to get the reading list. Do you have it ?" Elena lies smoothly, and the Blonde gives her a small smile, nodding her head.

"Sure let me check" She replies, and begins to look for it, when Elena grabs her shoulder, and looks her directly in the eye.

"This isn't going to hurt. Please don't scream" The Doppelganger compels, then goes to feed from the girl, but freezes when she sees picture of a young girl on the Blonde's phone. 

"Who's that ?" Elena questions, looking away from the photo and at the girl.

"That's my little sister" The girl tells her, smiling at the photo herself, and a look of guilt washes over Elena's face.

"Get out of here. Get back to class" Elena then compels her, not feeding on her whatsoever, then walking back toward Damon and Amelia.

Having heard and seen the entire encounter play out, the pair look at her unimpressed, everything they just told her having gone to waste after a rush of humanity.

"What the hell are you doing ?" They demand in stereo, glaring at the doppelganger. 

"I just... I saw the picture, and I..." She trails off, still looking incredibly guilty, even though she hadn't harmed the girl at all. 

"Everybody is somebody's Uncle or Father or Camp Counselor of Bible Study teacher. Elena, you don't know these people, why do you care ?" Damon questions clearly confused as to why she is acting this way. 

"I care because I'm still me ! I still have the same feelings, Damon. Sorry if that spoils your master plan to turn me into some super vampire" Elena tells him, her arms crossed over her chest defensively.

Amelia opened her mouth to say something, but stopped when she spotted Bonnie walking over to them, deciding it best to hold her tongue "What's going on ?" Bonnie asks as she reaches them, seeing the tension between the three.

"Nothing. Elena's educating us on the importance of feelings" Damon tells her with a forced smile. 

"Did you talk to the Professor ?" Elena then questions the witch, not looking at Amelia and Damon, quickly changing the subject. 

"For a second. He found some stuff of my Grams in his office and he's going to dig it up for me" Bonnie says, then pulls a folded up flyer from her pocket "Oh, uh, this" She adds, and Amelia takes it and reads it with a devilish grin, and Damon reading from over her shoulder, and smirking also. 

It is a poster for a College frat party. Murder House themed, and the perfect opportunity for three Vampires to snatch, eat and erase. The eldest two Vampires exchange looks, both of them thinking the same thing, then look at Elena.

"Nice. The answer to all our problems. A frat party, douche central. Which is why you'll be eating very well tonight" Damon smirks at Elena, ignoring the disgusted look Bonnie gives him "So what should we go as ? Victims or killers ?"

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

The three Vampires and witch, arriving at the house of the frat party, dressed up int he costumes they decided on. Damon is dressed as Jack The Ripper, while Elena, Bonnie and Amelia are dressed as three of his victims. Each of them have a cut on their necks, made up of some costume makeup they bought, and honestly don't look too shabby.

As they walk inside of the house, a strange guy walks up to them, with a large glass full of some sort of alcohol in his hand.

"Hey, I'm Frankie. Unassuming serial killer" He introduces, taking a sip of drink.

"I'm Jack. And these three lovely ladies I just... rippered" Damon says, and while the girls look at him not appreciating his poor attempt at humor, the guy doesn't seem bothered. 

"Welcome to the murder house. Bloody Mary's free until midnight. Enjoy yourselves" The guy tells them, before walking off to join his friends.

"Well, hat's off to these idiots" Damon smirks, as they look around at the house full of crowded College students, all of them drinking and dressed up. 

Amelia then spots Professor Shane upstairs, talking to some students, and smiles slightly "Oh, look, there's Professor Creepy but Handsome" She states, smiling at him when the Professor catches her eye, and blushing when he smiles back. 

"Or just Professor Creepy" Damon replies, not looking happy at her calling him handsome, and his jealous look noticeable to Elena and Bonnie, but not Amelia. 

"His name is Professor Shane, and he's not creepy" Bonnie corrects them "I'm gonna go talk to him" She says, walking toward the stairs.

"You do that" Damon mutters as she goes, then grabs Amelia when he sees her going to follow "You are staying with us" He says, causing her to frown, but not giving her time to argue. 

"Inebriated sleaze balls all covered in blood, take your pick" Damon tells Elena, as they look around at all the guests.

The three of them look, until Elena stares over at guy chatting with a guy, and frowns at what she sees him do. The guy just slipped something into the girls drink when she was distracted, and Amelia frowns too when she realizes what he did, always hating guys that do that to girls for no reason.

"I think I found one ?" Elena says, glaring at the Roofie guy.

"Roofie guy ? Nice choice. Go get 'em" Damon encourages, and grabbing two drinks off a tray, Elena heads off toward her target of choice.

Amelia grabs a drink also, and slowly sips it, scanning the room for someone to feed on herself. She spots three girls stood in the corner of the room. the older of three picking on the girl wearing glasses, 'accidentally' spilling their drinks onto her.

"I take one, you take the other ?" Damon suggests, looking at the two girls also, but Amelia just gives him an annoyed look.

"Okay, what's going on ? You've been acting weird since the lecture this morning, and have barely let me leave your side all day" She demands, crossing her arms over her chest, raising her eyes at the Salvatore Brother.

"I haven't been acting weird" Damon scoffs, shaking his head at the girl.

"You think I haven't noticed the glares you've gave Shane, every time me and him look at one another ? How dumb do you think I am ?" Amelia asks him, hurt that he out right lied to her.

Damon doesn't reply, and just walks off in the direction Elena went in, clearly going to find the Doppelganger rather then stay and actually talk to Amelia. Noticing the two mean girls leaving the party, Amelia decides to go take out her anger toward Damon on them. knowing she'll get a good meal out if it in the process.

She sneakily follows the girls down a quiet street, watching as one of them goes inside a dorm building, and the other carries on walking down the street. Seeing no one around, Amelia smirks and rushes in front of the girl, her face transformed.

"You know, I really hate bullies" Is all she says, before grabbing the girl by the shoulders, and biting down into her neck.

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

The rest of the Whitmore trip didn't go so well. Elena got out of control at the party, and ended up dirty blood dancing with Damon, only stopping when Bonnie saw them. It ended in Bonnie arguing with Damon, saying she caused Elena to act like a completely different person.

As for Amelia, when she has blood all over her dress, and dirt on her hands. No one questions what she did, but Damon knew she had killed someone, it was obvious. Though, him and Amelia didn't speak the entire ride home, and when they got back she let him go drop off Elena on his own.

Dear Damon,

Tonight made me realize something. I already knew that, we are both different to the people we were in 1864, but tonight made that clear. You no longer share things with me, not like you used to before, and I hide my feelings from you.
I helped you with Elena today, despite my feelings for her, because I know how deeply you and Stefan care for her. But more and more, I see how much she is like Katherine, and resentment grows within me. 

Only the other day, you asked me to leave town with you, and now you're acting protective of me and not even saying why. I suppose you think it should be obvious to me, and it isn't. making me even more confused.
I know that if today is anything to go by, things around here are going to get more interesting, and probably a lot more tense. I just hope, we don't ruin things between us, ad I couldn't bare the thought of loosing you to a doppelganger once again.

Forever Yours, Amelia
