I own nothing other then my OC Amelia.

Amelia POV:

Elijah grasped my arm and Elena's though I could see he was holding me gentler then Elena making me suppress a smirk.

"Please don't let him take me!" Elena begged Rose before she remembered me and cleared her throat. "I mean us! Please don't let him take us!" She edited awkwardly making me roll my eyes and I could see Elijah's hand clench ever so slightly harder on her arm when she forgot her own 'sister'.

We were pulled threw the corridor as a mourning Rose was following us before loud bang made us all freeze. Me because I know it was most likely Damon and Stefan meaning they would go about this the wrong way, Elena in fear of not knowing who it was, Elijah in anger and Rose just stopped when he did.

"Who ese is here?" Elijah growled to Rose thinking he betrayed him.

"I don't know" She muttered as tears were still pent in her eyes making me pity her immensely.

At Elijah's disbelieving look she repeated that she didn't know before having Elena shoved into her arms.

Elijah kept walking while I walked with him sensing he meant no harm, to me at least.

"Who is here?" Elijah asked as we reached the top of the staircase.

I heard a whoosh of air before glancing around to see Rose and Elena were gone.

"Whoever is here, you cannot win. I want the girl on the count of three. I repeat, you cannot win." Elijah said, I could hear a slight tinge of annoyance coating his voice as he flitted us downstairs making me stumble a little as he supressed a smirk at my scowl.

"Up here" Damon's voice said from the top of the landing.

Elijah flitted us half way up the stairs as Elena appeared shivering slightly from behind the corner as suspicion played over Elijah's face.

"I'm sorry for my friends, they only want to help me." She said with only a few gentle quivers playing in her voice.

Elijah took a step towards her before opening his mouth to question her, however she tossed a vervain bomb at him making him hiss and cover me so the stray glass wouldn't hurt me. He growled lowly once her checked me over so quick I barely saw his eyes move over my form.

Elijah spun around and started towards Elena, pulling me along as anger was noticable on his features. Before he reached her though Stefan appeared and was shooting stakes to Elijah only angering him further before tackling Elijah who released me just in time so I wouldn't tumble down with them.

Elijah stood quickly and went to harm Stefan rushing Damon into action as he speared Elijah's chest with a broken coat rack lodging him into a wall.

Elijah's skin cracked and smouldered into ashen tones before his blackening eyes locked onto my shocked and saddened ones before his eyes closed.

I was frozen as Elena attacked Stefan in a hug almost crushing him as she gave a thankful look to Damon.

I heard Rose run as Damon started after her before thinking better of it and instead came to me.

"Are you ok? He didn't hurt either of you did he?" He asked and I knew what that meant - 'are you ok? and did he hurt Elena?'. I smiled gently and shook my head saying he harmed neither of us.

Nodding he hugged me quickly before leading the way out away from the embracing couple. I sat in the front seat unwilling to be sat next to Elena for the long drive back. Eventually Stefan and Elena came and sat in the backseat in silence. Elena nodded off quickly while leaning on Stefan's shoulder while he simply wrapped his arm around her shoulder.

Damon rolled his eyes and I sadly smiled at him before looking out the window as we drove in silence.

I knew Damon was in love with Elena and honestly I thought he would be the better choice for her, although he kept things from her he made sure she knew all the risks and she knew everything she needed. He was also passionate and truthful, not to mention loyal. Where as Stefan hid many things from her about his past and attempted to brush everything of without Elena being kept in the loop.

At least Damon was honest about his personality, Stefan had the potential to be dangerous but Elena was so blinded by the fact Stefan was her first love that she never even considered the other options that there would be some other person to be a better lover.

After an hour of Damon speeding we finally pulled up outside of my apartment complex, I got out after saying goodbye being sure that I didn't wake Elena.

Strolling upstairs to my apartment I sighed in happiness once I entered my warm and comfortable home.

My living room was large with light green walls and dark wooden flooring covered in a deep green fluffy rug covering most of the room. I had two sofa's a three seater in a teal blue with a matching two seater next to it. They were facing the far wall which had a large tv placed in a entertainment unit which was filled with books, DVD's and a few odd ornaments.

All my wooden furniture was in pine including my small round dining table with three matching chairs next to my large window over looking the town square.

There was a arch way on the right wall leading into the small modern kitchen all in red and blacks with odd touches of gold giving my kitchen a more spaced look and modern touch.

On the far wall next to my entertainment unit was my bedroom door, my guest room. Next to the window in the living room was a door which led to my bathroom, it was light teal with a little grey and white spurs making it look relaxed.

I went to the left of the room and closed my heavy brown curtains on the way before unzipping my dress as I walked into my bathroom.

After tossing my clothes into the wicker hamper I stepped into the cubical shower and washed slowly getting all the dirt, dust and general grime from my body before scrubbing my face getting all my make up of.

Once clean and my muscles relaxed I yawned and covered myself in my short dressing gown and walked threw the living room to my bedroom.

My bedroom was light purple with black metal framed furniture like the bed frame, bookcase and large mirror. The other furniture like my large wardrobe and bedside tables were black and glossed. Above my bed was a large window which faced the small woods leading from the back of the school. I stripped my dressing gown off and dressed in small light blue shorts and a thin vest before clambering into bed and falling into a world of dreams which included Elijah, Katherine and a tall blonde man conversing in old fashioned clothing while we had tea.

I awoke to a loud tapping at my front door making me jolt. Groaning I stood and half asleep still pulled on my dressing gown before stumbling from my room making sure my hair looked half reasonable in its thick bun before pulling open my front door only to gasp in surprise.

Stood there in all his suited glory was Elijah who I was certain was dead. He smirked slightly at my shocked look before I blinked and rubbed my eyes making him let loose a musical laugh.

I stood to the side when I was certain he was real.

"Come in"
