Amelia was honestly baffled at the sight she was looking at, as her and Damon stood in the Gilbert living room with Elena, staring at what was laid on the couch. Laid there was Jeremy Gilbert, dried blood on his neck dead, with Elena near him with his blood on her hands.

"I can't believe this happened. What... what am I gonna say to him ?" Elena questions, looking up at Amelia and Damon, who look just stunned by the entire scenario.

"Well, I mean..." Amelia trails off, running her hands through her hair "Nope, I honestly have no idea what to say about this"

"Thanks for not ditching the family ring after it drove Ric crazy ?" Damon suggests, a slight awkward tension between them all "You should of called Stefan" He finally sighs.

"I don't want to talk to him. He's been lying to me, and hiding things from me. He compelled Jeremy to forget God knows what" Elena excuses, shaking her head at the idea of getting the help of her actual boyfriend.

"In all fairness, I mean, I think you killing him kind of trumps that" Damon replies, gesturing to the body of her brother "I mean, you should've called Stefan"

"I don't trust him right now, Damon" Elena dismisses once again, shaking her head but stops when the door opens and Stefan walks in, making her shoot glares at the guilty looking pair.

"Hey" Stefan says walking toward her, and Amelia smirks slightly, while Damon gives Elena a awkward look.

"PS I called Stefan" Damon whispers, as the doppelganger folds her arms over her chest.

"What happened ? Why didn't you call me ?" Stefan questions, after seeing Jeremy laid on the couch, then looking at Elena confused.

"I just..." She trails off, before shaking her head and walking toward the stairs "I need to go upstairs. Clean all the blood off my hands" And with that, she jogs upstairs out of sight, just as Jeremy gasps back to life.

"Welcome back. How you feeling ?" Stefan questions, glancing at the boy.

"What happened ?" He questions, catching his breath and calming himself down.

"Long story. Buy the E-Book" Damon shrugs, before wandering toward the Gilbert kitchen, and Amelia rolls her eyes before wandering after him.

Seeing the blood stained floor, Amelia goes over to the sink and fills a bucket full of soapy water, before handing it and a cleaning rag to Damon. He raises his eyes at her, but when she just gives him a serious look, he sighs before taking them both and beginning to try and wash up the blood stain. She then sits on the Gilbert counter, and smirks while watching him, biting into a apple she found in a fruit bowl.

As Damon goes to stand up, thinking he is done, she tuts and shakes her head at him "Uh-uh, you missed a spot"

"Where ?" He questions, not seeing this blood spot she is on about, but she points behind him determined.

He turns around to look, and seeing the opportunity, she kicks him in the butt from behind, just able to reach him from where she is sat. Damon stumbles slightly before catching his balance, and spinning around and giving her a playful glare, while she just looks at him innocently trying hard not to laugh.

"Oh, so that's how you wanna play this ? Okay then" Damon shrugs, giving her a wicked smirk, before flicking some of the water in the bucket on her on his way to the sink.

"Douche" She glares, wiping the water off of face, pouting at him.

Stefan then walks in, before either of them can try anything else, and Damon turns to face him drying his hand on towel "Where did Jeremy go ?"

"School. Bonnie has him volunteering for some occult exhibit" Stefan tells him simply, making both Damon and Amelia raise a eye.

"Right..." Amelia trails off skeptical.

"Or maybe he didn't want to linger in a house where his sister just jammed a knife in his neck" Damon comments, voicing what he know Amelia and even Stefan had to be thinking.

Stefan rolls his eyes, though doesn't deny that it is likely true, then tenses up when his phone begins to ring. He pulls it out to look at who it is, and becomes even more tense upon seeing the name "It's Klaus"

Amelia and Damon knew perfectly well why Stefan was having this reaction. You see, the reason he was desperate to keep Connor alive, was because he was the key to finding a cure. A cure for Vampirism, that he and Klaus were working together to find. And now Connor, the only thing Klaus is probably going to do, was kill Stefan for letting his hope of making more Hybrids go out the window.

"Ooh, time to face the music, pay the piper, dance with the devil" Damon teases, not stopping smirking even when Amelia clips him round the back of the head for it.

"You know, I'm glad you're finding this amusing. If he finds out I told you both about the cure, he'll kill us all" Stefan reminds them, to which Amelia just snorts.

"He already tried to kill me when I first met him, and I'm still here, so I'm not really worried" She shrugs, taking another bite of the apple in her hand, and they both just look at her before deciding not to question her past with the Originals. 

"Quit avoiding him. You're being shady. Shady people get outed" Damon tells him, and Stefan sighs before answering the call, and putting the phone against his ear. 

"I don't want to take about it" Stefan says bluntly, while Amelia and Damon stay silent, wanting to listen in on what Klaus has to say. 

"Well, I can't imagine way, what with you ruining all my plans for a Hybrid filled future" Klaus replies, his voice somewhat calm to all their surprise. 

"Well, it wouldn't of happened if you hadn't sworn me to secrecy" Stefan fires back bravely. 

"Life's full of if's, Stefan. Let's extenuate the positives, shall we ? The Hunter was one of five. We'll find another. It may take centuries, but we've got nothing but time, right ?" Klaus says, and Stefan begins to grow concerned about how rational he is being.

"You're using your calm voice, who's getting killed ?" Stefan asks.

"Not you, if that's what you're worried about. But I am concerned about your beloved. Have the hallucinations started yet ?" Klaus asks, making the three all exchange surprised glances, wondering how he knew about them. 

"What do you know about that ?" Stefan demands wanting answers. 

"I'll tell you, where are you ?" 

"I'm at her house" 

"How convenient. So am I" Klaus answers, before hanging up, and the three hear a loud knock on the front door. 

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

"Does this house have anything to drink ?" Amelia asks, as her and Damon wait in the kitchen, while Stefan talks with Klaus on the porch outside. 

"I think Ric used to keep a bottle of Bourbon under the sink. Let me check" Damon says, before nodding to a cupboard behind her "Get some glasses out from up there" 

"Sir, yes Sir" Amelia mocks salutes, before reaching into the cupboard and pulling out two glasses, and placing them down on the counter. 

As Damon searches in the cupboard under the sink, Elena comes in looking slightly dazed, and Amelia eyes her carefully. If she is hallucinating, they need to watch her carefully, as God knows when she could see things again. 

"Damon..." Elena begins, but stops when Damon turns to face her, beginning to look scared and freaked out. 

"Elena ?" Damon asks, walking slowly toward, but she begins to back away as she does so.

"Elena ? Are you alright ?" Amelia questions, going to walk toward her also, but she becomes even more freaked out. 

"No !" She cries, before turning on her heel and running toward the front door, making Damon and Amelia exchange glances before running after her. 

When they follow her outside, the only person out there is Stefan, Elena nowhere in sight and nor is Klaus. They all look at one another, concern written on their faces. After going back inside, and Stefan explains everything Klaus told him about the Hunters curse, they call Bonnie for some witchy assistance. 

"You lost her ?" Bonnie questions in disbelief, looking at the three Vampires one by one. 

"Well 'Lost' is a very strong word. We just technically don't know where she is" Damon shrugs in defense, ignoring the glare Bonnie gives him. 

"I'm more worried about Klaus said about this Hunter's curse" Stefan says, crossing his arms over his chest, while Bonnie just sighs and looks at him. 

"How does Klaus even know about this ?" Bonnie asks. 

"How does Klaus know anything ? The guy's like a billion years old" Damon responds, then places his hand over Amelia's mouth as she goes to correct him, making her frown and glare at him. 

"He said it was a witches curse" Stefan continues explaining to Bonnie, as Amelia licks Damon hand to make him remove it from her face, and he just wipes his hand on her shirt as payback. 

"You know if I could do anything to help, I would, but I..." Bonnie begins looking sorry, but Damon cuts her off. 

"But nothing. Wave your magic wand, hocus pocus, be gone, hunter, ghosts, whatever" Damon mocks waving his hand around carelessly, and Amelia just looks at him ashamed.

"I really do question if you think things through before you say them sometimes" Amelia sighs, before looking at Bonnie "He's right though. Your a witch, cast a spell, make all this mess go away" 

"The spirits won't let me do the magic I need to break the curse. But I can ask Shane for help. He knows everything about everything" Bonnie suggests, leaning her hands on the table, looking thoughtful. 

"Great. You two do your thing" Stefan says, before beginning to walk toward the front door. 

"Where are you going ?" Damon questions as we watch him go. 

"To get her back"

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

After heading to the High School with Bonnie, so she can go find Professor Shane and bring him to them, Amelia and Damon wait in Alaric Saltzman's old History room. Damon sits at the desk, leaning back in the chair and his feet up on the desk, while Amelia looks at the books on the shelves at the side of the room. 

Hearing Damon chuckles, she looks over at him and away from the books, to see him pull a bottle of Bourbon out of a draw. He unscrews the lid, and looks at it for a moment, before sighing "You're missing all the adventure, pal" He comments, before taking a swig from the bottle. 

Amelia smiles over at him sadly, before going over and taking a drink from the bottle herself, then rubbing Damon's shoulder comfortingly "It's okay to miss him. I'm sure he misses you too" She tells him, and he gives her a sad but thankful smile.

Neither of them have chance to speak again, when the door opens and Bonnie walks in, Professor Shane following behind "Shane, this is my friend Damon. He's kind of an expert on this stuff too" Bonnie introduces, shutting the classroom door behind them, before nodding to Amelia "And that's my friend Amelia. She's interested in this type of stuff also"

"We audited your class. It's very enlightening" Damon comments, resisting the urge roll his eyes as he thinks back to the disastrous college trip.

"That's right, I remember you both" Shane says, eyeing Amelia mainly as he says that, making her blush slightly but quickly hide it, then Shane looks back to Damon " What's your specialty ?" 

"The Origin of species" Damon replies, taking another sip from the Bourbon bottle, before Amelia snatches it from his hands. 

"Oh, I think Darwin would wrestle you for that distinction" Shane chuckles jokingly, and Damon just smirks back at him. 

"Not that species" And that puts a look of recognition on Shane's face. 

"You're into the monster stuff. Alright, awesome" Shane says nodding his head, him and Bonnie both walking over to the desk, as Damon pulls out a folded up bit of paper from his pocket. 

"I was kinda hoping that you might have stumbled upon this at some point... maybe" Damon says, handing Shane the paper, which is a drawing of the Hunter Mark, making Shane's eyes widen slightly when he recognizes it. 

"This is the Hunter's mark. Where did you get this ?" He asks in surprise, staring at the drawing. 

"Came to me in a dream" Damon smirks, finally lifting his feet off of the desk "You know anything about the Hunter's curse ?" 

"Why ? You got a dead Hunter in the trunk of your car or something ?" Shane chuckles with a raised eye, making the two Vampires and witch to exchange glances. 

"Metaphorically speaking" Amelia say briefly. 

"Legend says that if a hunter is killed by that which he hunts, then that person will be cursed to walk the earth and torment them till..." Shane trails off, making Bonnie look at him.

"Until ?" She questions. 

"Until a new Hunter's awakened and their legacy's passed on. They're called potentials" Shane explains, and at that point Damon pulls out his phone, a plan clearly in mind "Listen, I have a bunch of research on it, why don't I go grab it for you ?"

"That would be great" Damon says as Shane turns to leave "Hey thanks" And Shane smiles and nods, before leaving the room and closing the door behind him. 

"So, Elena's screwed" Amelia sighs when he is gone. 

"How are we supposed to find a potential Hunter ?" Bonnie asks baffled, clearly in the same mindset as Amelia, thinking hope to help the Doppelganger is now lost. 

"Yeah about that" Damon begins, then dials a number and puts the phone to his ear "Little Gilbert. Your services are needed" 

Bonnie looks confused and slightly shocked, while Amelia smirks impressed, realizing baby Gilbert must be a potential.

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

"You lost her ? Again ? You're joking right ?" Amelia asks in disbelief, letting Damon and Bonnie discuss what is going on with Jeremy, while she is on the phone to Stefan. 

"Look, she attacked me then fled. She's in really bad shape, Amelia" Stefan argues back, getting defensive.

"Alright, calm down" Amelia tells him calmly "We'll sort it, it looks like we may of came across the answer to solve the Doppel-nuts problem" 

"Okay, great. You may not like what I'm going to tell you next, but I've text Damon and asked him to find Elena, and talk her down. She's more likely to listen to him then she is me at the moment" Stefan explains to her, sounding hesitant to even say it. 

"What ? Why ? She's your girlfriend" Amelia questions, slightly anger and bitterness in her tone. 

"He gets through to her a lot more then I do lately. The best thing that I can do now, is end this. So tell me what you found out, and what I have to do to end this" Stefan says, and Amelia sighs and turns to see Damon leaving, clearly going to find Elena like Stefan asked.

"To break the curse, another potential hunter of the five, has to be awakened. Luckily enough for us, Baby Gilbert is a potential, and all he has to do is kill a Vampire" Amelia explains with a sigh "Bonnie and Damon have explained to him what to do, and he seems up for it. We just need to find him a Vampire to kill"

"I have an idea then, get Jeremy and meet me at the Lockwood Mansion. I know a way to end this" 

Hanging up, Amelia shoves her phone into her pocket and walks over to the youngest Gilbert and Bennett Witch, her face not really showing any emotion at the moment "Jeremy, come with me, we're gonna go save your sisters life" 

With that they leave Bonnie, and meet Stefan and surprisingly Klaus, at the Lockwood Mansion. Amelia, Stefan and Jeremy wait outside, as Klaus goes in to find the Hybrid, that Jeremy is going to kill. Stefan looks at Amelia, and sees her face just blank, deep in thought. Seeing the Salvatore walking beside her from the corner of her eyes, she lets out a sad sigh "He really does love her, doesn't he ?" 

"Honestly ? Yeah, I think he does. And sometimes, mainly lately, I think she feels the same" Stefan answers honestly, then wraps his arm around her shoulders and lets her rest her head on his shoulder, trying to comfort her.

"It hurts, Stefan. I'm not gonna lie to you, it really does hurt" She mutters, but quickly compose herself, when she hears Klaus tell the Hybrid to leave.

Stefan and Amelia quickly rush, and Amelia blocks the doorway, while Stefan shoves a stake in the Hybrids stomach. A strange girl stood by Tyler, screams out no in protest, but they all ignore her as the Hybrid falls to the ground, groaning in pain. Jeremy then walks in holding a ax, making Tyler's eyes widen in surprise. 

"Jeremy ? What the hell man ?!" Tyler demands, glaring at Stefan, Amelia, Jeremy and Klaus angrily. 

Klaus just smiles, finding this somewhat amusing in his own twisted way, while Stefan gives Tyler a sympathetic look "I'm sorry" Stefan apologizes, then gives Jeremy a nod.

With that, Jeremy swings the ax, and and cuts the Hybrids head cleans off, making the girl scream once again. Jeremy then looks back up at them all, with blood on his hands and face, watching his arm as his Hunters mark grows. 

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

"Matthew, another drink if you please" Amelia smiles at Matt, as she sits at the bar of the Grill the next day, the events of yesterday being pushed to the back of her mind. 

She stayed away from the Boarding House after Elena's curse was broke, her conversation with Stefan about Damon and Elena, lingering in her mind too much to even be near the eldest Salvatore. Luckily, Klaus let her sleep in one of his many spare rooms, so she didn't end sleeping on the Grill bar like she originally planned. 

"Here you go" Matt says, handing her a fresh glass of Bourbon, and taking the empty glass from her "Any reason you been here since we opened this morning ?" 

"Plenty, I just really don't care to divulge into them right now. My life is complicated, Matt, and you don't need it on top of everything else" She says, giving him a small smile, before taking a sip of her drink. 

"Well, I think one of these 'complications', may be about to join you. Just thought you should know" Matt warns her, before walking away, and Amelia doesn't have to to turn and look to know Damon is now taking a seat beside her.

"Any reason Stefan told me you spent the night with Klaus ?" Damon demands, not even saying hello to girl, causing her to raise a eye at him. 

"Before you continue, I didn't sleep with Klaus, so don't even insinuate it. I slept in one of his spare rooms, actually scratch that, I think it may of been Rebekah's room. Also, don't judge me for staying there, when I bet you never left the Gilbert House last night" Amelia fires back, gritting her teeth slightly, trying hard to keep calm. 

"What does that matter, if I already told you I don't feel anything for Elena in that way, that what happened at the College meant nothing" Damon argues back, getting frustrated with the situation himself. 

"Damon, why are you justifying that to me ? Better yet, why the hell should I believe you ? I am honestly at the point, where everything you tell me about you and Elena I think is a lie. You say it means nothing, she means nothing to you, yet the way you act says different. I told you to figure out what is between you both, and I meant it. Because you're not only gonna hurt Stefan, but me too" She snaps, getting up and beginning to walk away.

"Now where are you going ?" Damon questions watching her.

"Right now ? Somewhere your not ?"

Writing Damon and Amelia arguing, after what was starting to be a cute chapter for them, was actually heartbreaking.But this is Amelia before the sire bond is discovered, so things are probably going to get worse before they get better.
