AUTHOR'S NOTES:
So I'm back with a sequel to An Old Friend. If you haven't seen the first story I would highly suggest reading that one first. Of course this story follows along with Season 3 of The Vampire Diaries. I don't own TVD or Damon (Sadly). Now let's get on with the story
The Birthday
The moon shined brightly in the sky as I was roughly dragged down a drive way. Klaus grip held my arm tightly, while making me tumble on my feet as we walked. There was a sudden movement inside and a young woman walked out the front door. At that point Klaus swung me around, and pushed my back up against a tree. He held his hand over my mouth as he looked around the tree. I could hear her calling for her dog.
"Now you remember the plan right love?" Klaus asked as he turned his gaze down to me.
"Of course, it's about the same as the last 500 hundred places we've stopped at." I snapped.
"Good," He ignored my harshness, "Now hold on tight love" and before I knew what happen we were suddenly standing in front of the girl. She was bent over and when she stood up and turned around, she jump startled. I felt my head spinning from Klaus doing his vampire speed. Luckily for me, he had his arm wrapped around my waist so it kept me from falling over.
"I am so sorry. Didn't mean to scare you," Klaus said in a southern accent.
The girl stared at the two of us for a second. I could see she wasn't sure about it. "Can I help you?"
"Yeah, mine and my girlfriend's car ran out of gas a couple miles back. She is really tired and I feel like I've been walking forever and yours was the first house we've come too. We were hoping we could use your phone." Klaus lied smoothly.
"Don't you have a cell phone?" she questioned.
"Eh, yeah" He reached into his back pocket, pulling it out with his free hand, waved it at her, "Battery died."
The girl stared at us like she wasn't sure yet. I could see she didn't trust him. If only I could get her to save me from doing this ever again. Ever since we left Mystic Fall's three months ago, Klaus has been using me as bait to find more werewolves to turn into hybrids. It's been three months and we haven't found any yet.
"Look, I promise I'm not a serial killer. I just want to use your phone" Klaus sweetly asked. I wanted to burst out laughing at the comment.
The girl let out a sign. "Sure." She turned and began walking away.
"So I can come in?" He asked giving me a wicked grin before locking eyes on the girl once she turned around.
"No," She waved towards the house. "I'll get the phone and bring it out to you."
I looked at Klaus and his face turned hard as he stared at her. "I thought you country folk were supposed to be more trusting?" he said with a straight face.
"I'm from Florida." She snapped.
"Well that explains it." And he let me go, lunging at her. He grabbed her by the throat, turning her eyes up to meet his. "Now show me a little southern hospitality," he hissed as he stared her straight in the eyes. "Sweet Pea" and he compelled her to let him inside.
"You can come in" she repeated.
Klaus let go of her neck, replacing his hand to her arm. He looked back over to me holding his hand out towards me." Come" he sternly said.
I reluctantly took his hand and he led us inside the house. As we opened the door to the house we heard a women speaking. I didn't hear what she said but once she came into view she turned around and stared at the three of us.
"What's going on?" She questioned as she looked at us.
"Please don't be alarmed," Klaus casually said."I've been told that Ray Sudan lives here?"
"He's almost never here," She seemed a little nervous when she said that."He's on the road mostly."
"But I expect he makes it home" Klaus started walking towards her leaving me standing back by the door. "Once a month."
The women stood there staring at him with a stern look but also scared look. I turned my direction to Klaus to see he was happy with that look. " That's what I thought." He gave the blonde women a look before turning back to the other. "Where is he now?"
The women turn silent. "If I have to make you tell me, it will be infantile more painful for you" Klaus smiled at her, adding a chuckle.
The women glared at him before turning and sprinting from the room. Klaus stood there with a pissed off look on his face. He rolled his eyes looking at me. "I hate when they run" he snarled before slowly following after her. I decided it was best to follow him out of the house. As I came around the corner I heard a scream.
"I love it when they run." Klaus chuckled, even though he told me he hated it.
I came around the corner to see Stefan standing right outside the house, blocking the young women's way. He had a psycho look on his face, but that wasn't anything new. The last three months, he had that same look on their missions like this.
"He's in Tally; it's near the border, a bar called Southern Comfort. It's off of 41" The women finally said. I felt sorry for her, she looked so scared.
"Thank you my love," Klaus said before looking at the blonde he was dragging around. "Now, may my friend come in the house?" Klaus asked her as he pulled hair away from her face.
The girl had a hard time talking. She stumbled for the words to come out. "Yes," she sobbed.
Stefan then opened the screen door and stepped into the room. He had not emotion on his face, just a far away look.
Klaus shoved the blonde towards him "Kill this one quickly;" he nodded towards the one that gave him the information."Make that one suffer" he snarled out.
"Klaus, no" I shouted finally speaking up and I walked up and grabbed his arm."They gave you the information. You don't need to kill them"
"But I don't want to leave witnesses, "He stated before grabbing me roughly on my elbow. He leaned over to Stefan."We'll be in the car." And with that said he dragged me out the door. As we walked down the driveway, we heard the painful screams of the girls as Stefan ripped them apart. I closed my eyes, taking a deep breath. Klaus on the other hand, had a huge smile on his face.
It was a couple hours after the incident with the girls. We had finally arrived at the place the young women told Klaus. I now stood in front of the place, staring at it. Wondering why the hell I got dragged into this whole mess.
"So what are you thinking?" Stefan asked me when he came up behind me.
"How the hell I got dragged into all of this." I sternly said.
"Hey, it's not so bad," Stefan said as he shoved me."You got me."
I laughed, He was right on that. I was really glad Stefan was also dragged into the whole mess otherwise I think I would have killed myself by now. Yeah, he was big bad ripper Stefan now but he still was nice to me and I was really thankful for it. "Oh don't boast that ego of yours Steffy," I looked at him with a smile "it's not healthy." Stefan and I both started laughing.
"What's so funny?" Are laughing instantly stopped as Klaus showed up at are side, ruining are precious moment.
"Nothing," I sternly said before walking inside the bar, leaving Klaus and Stefan behind me. I stepped inside to see that it was pretty empty and I moved my way over to the bar and sat down.
"What can I get ya doll?" The bartender asked.
"Cherry coke," I told him.
"Sure thing." And he turned around to get it.
I sat there fiddling with my fingers when Klaus quietly showed up but he came up alongside a guy seated next to me at the bar.
"Ray? Ray Sudan?" Klaus asked.
"Who wants to know?" Ray questioned.
"I've been looking everywhere for you," Klaus smiled as he took a seat on the other side of the guy."We stopped in Florida, Pensacola; I meet a young chap there, who you worked with before, you moved to Memphis. Now, he directed me to two lovely young women," Klaus did his usual evil smile "Which led me here, to you."
Ray looked down at his beer before stepping away from the counter. "I got to be going."
Klaus was up out of his seat in an instant, blocking his way out. "Not so fast mate" he sternly said as he looked down at him." You know you just got here."
"Here ya go doll," The bartender set my coke down, winking at me before he moved away. I took a sip of my coke. I missed most of the conversation after that but Stefan coming up made me look up fast.
"I wouldn't do that," Stefan said before shoving the man down in the chair next to me.
"Vampires?" Ray finally muttered.
"Your swifty swift Ray" Klaus said with a smirk. That comment, actually made me snicker but I made it turn into a cough. I didn't want Klaus to know, I wouldn't live it down.
"Yes, my friend here is a vampire, and he's compelled everyone in the bar, so don't look to them for any help." I took a quick look at everyone in the bar before looking at the three of them. "My lovely gal over there isn't anything supernatural. Just a lovely little treat for me," Klaus winked at me before going on."However, I'm something else, a different kind of monster. I've got some vampire, I've got some wolf."
"You what?" Ray looked disguised.
"A hybrid Ray, I'm both." I rolled my eyes. He said it like it was the most obvious thing in the world. "You see, I want to create more of me. Now you being the first werewolf I've come across many a moon, Pun intended Ray." Klaus laughed at his own joke. "I need you to direct me to your pack."
I took my eyes away from the scene and took another sip of my coke. I then felt my cell phone vibrate in my pocket. Klaus let me keep it on me, which surprised me, but he said I could keep it. I reached into my pocket and pulled my phone out, it was Damon calling me. Ever since I left three months ago, he would call everyday and I never answered. Yes I loved him but it would be way too hard to hear his voice, listen to him beg me to come home. I clicked ignore and put it back in my pocket.
"Amelia love, why don't you come over and enjoy the scene," I lifted my head and looked at Klaus. He was smiling and patting his leg. I didn't see Stefan, so I turned to see him tying Ray up to a pipe that lay under a dart board. "Come along darling, before dear Stefan starts."
"I'd rather not" I mumbled and turned back to my coke but suddenly I was lifted up and placed in someone's lap.
"It wasn't a choice" I heard Klaus whisper in my ear. His hands tugged me closer to the point where my back pressed firmly against his chest, his one arm wrapped around my waist. "Just relax my dear and enjoy the show."
I didn't even feel like fighting so I just sat there calmly, avoid the scene with Stefan. I could hear Ray's screams but I didn't look. I flinched when I felt Klaus other hand stroking my hip. I wanted to jump and run but I was stuck.
Damon POV
I stared at my phone. I've been calling her every day for three months and she never answered. I wasn't even sure if she had her phone on her but it never hurt to try. I just missed her. Three months without her was killing me. I tucked my phone back into my pocket, before making my way to Stefan's room, where Elena was getting ready for the party that was taking place down stairs. As I came into the room, I watched her sadly stare at herself in the mirror. Like me, she was suffering the lost of Stefan. It didn't help that she also lost her best friend too.
"Don't worry I'm not going to lose it," She reassured me. She turned and looked at me. "At least not before the cake."
"It's your party, you can cry if you want too" I gave her a smile and getting one in return.
"Aw Stefan" I took my time to across the room when I noticed a picture of my baby bro and her."Such a pack rat" I added before I took it in my hands and stroked it softly.
"Do you miss her Damon?" I heard Elena asked.
I looked up at her."Everyday" I mumbled.
Elena let out a sign," Do you think we'll ever see them again?"
"I'll make sure of it," I told Elena.
She nodded her head and we stood there with our own thoughts. I took one last look at the picture before setting it down and looking back at Elena. "I got you something"
"I know I promised not to buy you anything so don't worry I didn't buy it for you" I said as I reached into my other pocket and pulled out a black case.
"You stole it" Elena gasped.
"No," I opened it up and showed her the necklace that Stefan gave her. "Found it."
Elena looked at it with shock before looking directly at me."My necklace" She whispered as she reached in and took it out. "I thought I'd never see it again."
"Alaric found it in his loft. I figured you would be happy to get it back." I honestly told her.
Elena looked up at me and smiled." I am happy, thank you"
"You're welcome" I told her.
"Um, can you" She held the necklace towards me.
"Oh absolutely "I tucked the box back into my pocket, before taking the necklace from her hand. She turned around as I unclipped it. I reached in front of her and brought the necklace around her neck. I clasped it on before moving away from her. I then held my arm out to her. "Shall we?" I asked.
She smiled and slipped her arm through mine and the two of us walked out of the room.
Amelia POV
Klaus hand kept stroking my hip, running along my thigh as he watched Stefan torture Ray. I could see he was enjoying touching me, even though it made me want to cut his arm off for doing it. I flinched when I felt him lean towards my neck and rub his nose along it, breathing in my scent. I heard him let out rasped chuckle "Relax darling, I don't plan to drink anything." He informed me. I didn't say anything.
"Hello, Mr. Klaus" A women broke Klaus away from my neck. We both looked up to see a women standing in from of us. He motioned her closer and she began to whisper in his ear. Even though I was sitting in his lap I couldn't hear what she was saying to him.
"I saw the guy's brother, Damon. At the farm house" I heard that and perked up at Damon's name. I moved to quickly because I felt Klaus tense at my reaction.
"Well thank ya love" Klaus told her."You tell your friends to keep up the good work on the neighborhood watch, eh." The women nodded before hurrying away.
That's when Stefan showed up. Klaus nudged me off his lap, I happily moved over to a different chair as Klaus stood and glared at Stefan.
"My brothers still on are trail?" Stefan asked.
"He's getting closer," Klaus told him before moving to go by him."I'm going to have to deal with that."
I flinched and got ready to go after Klaus but Stefan stopped him. "No no, let me handle it." Stefan said.
Klaus looked at him. "Why should I let you leave?"
"Because you'll know I'll come back."
"Do I?"
"You saved my brother's life." Stefan stepped closer to him. "I'm in your service"
"uh, it all sounds so tedious indention" Klaus stated with a groan."Aren't you at least having a little bit of fun?" He chuckled as he pointed to where Ray was
Stefan ignored his comment. "I'll make sure that my brother doesn't bother us anymore." Stefan then went to leave.
"Wait," I called and stood up and looked at Klaus."Let me go with him?" I asked.
"Sorry love, no can do." Klaus shrugged.
"Please?" I begged.
"Sorry love can't." He stepped towards me, making us closer then what I would have liked."Your mine and if I let you go you'll see Damon. Can't have you running off with him now can I." He reached up and stroked my cheek.
"Well can't I talk to Stefan before he goes?" I asked.
"Fine but don't you dare walk out that door" and he turned and went over to Ray.
I watched him go before walking over to Stefan. "Can you let him know that I'm alright and let him know to stop calling me? Make sure he knows it just hurts me too much since we can't be together."
Stefan gave me a sad smile. "Of course." Stefan nodded to me before leaving the bar.
I watched him go with a sad smile. I turned back around and took a seat at the bar and just stare at the unfinished coke I left there.
Damon POV
I tucked my phone into my pocket after hanging up on Elena. I had lied to her about where I was because I had to pick Andie up at work but there was something off. It was too quiet. I noticed the stage 3 door and headed that way. I opened the door and stepped into the studio. That's when I saw her purse laying on the floor, Not good. When I looked up my baby brother stood before me. Some hope of Amelia being there made me leap with joy.
"Stefan"
"Hello, brother" Stefan calmly said.
"Where's Amelia? Is she alright?" I blurted out right away. I just had to know.
"She's fine Damon, other than Klaus being to forwards with her." Stefan words made me tense. "But she told me to tell you to stop calling her."
"What?"
"She wants you to stop calling her. It's painful for her to see since she can't be with you."Stefan stated."She's having a hard time being away from you, Elena and her friends so the least you could do and stop calling her, it reminds her of what she left behind."
I bite my lip. It would be painful for me not to call her everyday but I decided I would."So what about you? You don't write, don't call?"
"I need you to stop following us." Stefan blurted out." You're causing some problems"
"With who Klaus, I'm supposed to care what he thinks? After he took my girl, killed Jenna and almost killed Elena?"
"What your suppose to do is let Amelia and me go" Stefan sternly told me.
I walked towards him with annoyed look. I wouldn't give up finding Amelia."I saw your latest artwork in Tennessee. Walking a fine line there my friend." I stated."Keep that up and there will be no saving you"
Stefan laughed, shaking his head."See the thing is a – I don't need any saving. I just want you to let me and Amelia go."
"Now I got a problem with that" I glared at him."I'm not letting Amelia stay with him and I also got a birthday girl at home that's not going to let me do that"
Stefan nodded his head like he knew I'd say something like that." Maybe I haven't made my point." He then turned his head."Hey Andie," he looked over at me "You still there?"
"Andie? " I questioned confused.
"Damon?" I looked up when I heard her voice."I can't move, Damon. He told me I can't move."
"No no, It's ok Andie, stay calm" I snapped my head down to look at Stefan. "Not cool brother" I snarled and stepped towards him until I was nose to nose with him.
"Oh come on. It's a little bit cool -No" Stefan stated calmly."Hey Andie, you can move now."
"No, no no no no no." I shouted, trying to get her to stop. Before I knew what happen, Stefan had me pinned against a pole by my throat, as Andie fell and hit the floor. I looked at where her body laid with a pissed off look on my face before looking at Stefan.
"I said- let us go" Stefan snarled at me.
I glared at him, my anger rising within ever second, before shoving him off of me and blurring over to Andie's body. I turned her onto her back, staring at her bruised face. She of course was dead. I gripped her clothing before quickly looking back to see if Stefan was still there but he wasn't. I turned back and sadly stroked her arm. It was my fault she was dead. Everyone I care about gets hurt. Yes I cared for Andie, not like I do Amelia but I cared. I sat back with a sign as I sat there staring at her broken dead body.
Amelia POV
I sat at the bar for hours, ignoring what Klaus was doing to Ray. I could hear their conversation but I ignored it. I didn't want to know what his plans were. I reach into my pocket and pulled my phone out; I clicked on Damon's name and just stared at it. I wanted to call him. I really did but Klaus would kill me if I did. He knew better than I did that if I called him, heard his voice I'd try and run. That's why he made my stay here.
"Your back," I heard Klaus say and turned my head to see Stefan standing there. I tucked my phone away and turned around. I wanted to ask him how Damon was but I decided to wait until Klaus wasn't around to overhear.
"Did you doubt me?" Stefan asked as he came to stand closer to him.
"Not for a second," Klaus answered "I knew you would pass the test. You still care for your brother, for your old life."
Stefan laughed."Nah" he turned away from him."I don't care about anything anymore." He took a seat at the bar.
I even knew that was a lie. He cared about what I felt all the time; he always made sure I was ok. Even if he was this ripper guy he cared about how I felt, which means he cares.
"You put on a good show Stefan." Klaus shot back as he followed him. "I almost believe you. Let's hope for your brother's life, he does" Klaus now was leaning over Stefan.
I looked at Stefan's face to see he was in deep thought. I never ask him this but I always wonder if he thinks of Elena, If he misses her at all?
"You never stopped caring about family, do you?" Stefan didn't even look at Klaus." But every time you feed, the blood makes it easier to let go."
Stefan signed and looked at Klaus before turning away and glancing at me. I gave him a reassuring smile but he just looked back at me sadly. Klaus stared at him before turning and walking back over to Ray, waiting for him to wake up.
I let out a sign before getting up and walking over to Stefan. "You know, it's alright to feel. Don't listen to Klaus" I glanced over at him. I knew he could hear us but I didn't really care."Some of what he says is true but it isn't bad."
Stefan nodded his head but changed the subject." Do you know it's her birthday today?"
It took me a second to understand who he was talking about. That's when it hit me on the date. "Oh geez, I forgot"
"Damon sort of reminded me" Stefan signed.
"Do you still love her?" I asked.
Stefan just sat there, staring at the wall and suddenly out of nowhere he shot up and stormed out of the bar, startling me in the process. I watched him disappear out the door before looking at my hands. He didn't have to answer for me to know that he still did. I pulled my phone out again, clicking Damon's name to text him.
Hey Damon,
I miss seeing you and everyone. It's tearing me apart to be stuck here away from it all but it's what has to be. Remember I love you, nothing will change that.
~Amelia
Btw tell Elena I said Happy Birthday!
I clicked send and tucked my phone away with a smile on my face.
