And I'm back, with goodies! Another chapter! WOO! But before we drive into that, I'd like to give everyone who followed, favorite and reviewed a huge Thank You! I love reading you reviews, I'm pretty such that's one of the reasons I write, cause I just love reading about what you think and your thoughts. And you're all just so fantastic!
To Jana: Thank you soo much! What you said meant a lot and I just wanted to give you the biggest hug! But regarding little Amlijah monster babies running around. I will say I haven't thought much about it. But hey, who knows! Shit will be happening very soon. Who knows what hurricane of fun will be thrown next!
ShadowTier/ ALL READERS!: I was really loving the Amelia/Ripper Stefan thing that was going on too. It was so much fun, and I can't help it. But The Ripper is sexy as all fuck. And it so hard, but I've had to be like, "No. Stop. This is for the Elijah fans! Contain yourself!" I've had a Ripper fic thought running through my mind for ages. So If anyone is interested in something like that happening, LET ME KNOW! And if I get enough positive feedback, Magic will happen.
Again Thank You! I love you all. And Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own Vampire diaries. And I didn't take Elijah and tie him up to keep in my closet for my own enjoyment. Yet…
"Morning Darling, how'd you sleep?" I stomped my way down the stairs with firm glare on my face. I couldn't sleep. All I could do was imagine all the things Stefan could possibly be doing with those coffins. With Elijah.
"I am not in the mood right now Nicklaus." He looked a little taken back by the use of his whole name, "Tony!" Klaus leaned back against a pillar. I knew he was watching me; curious about what I was going to do with his Hybrid. Tony, a very attractive dark haired hybrid eventually turned the corner, "I need you to scare my sister. How about a morning jog?" Tony and Klaus both grinned.
…
My arms were crossed. I spent the better half on an hour pacing the living room waiting for Tony to come back. Finding Stefan was next to impossible and Katherine was dodging my calls. Klaus would normally be taking this time to be skimming up some evil plan, but he seems to be enjoying watching me take the reins.
The door opens and Tony walks in. "Finally. Had some fun?" He grinned,
"Had a blast."
"Good." I chuckled. For the short amount of time I've gotten to know Tony, he's been a lot of fun. And with my close relationship with their Sire; these Hybrids had no problem following my orders. If I wanted something done, they'd do it. It was simple.
Klaus finally stepped forward, "So what next on your list of evil things to do?" I shrugged,
"Easy. You're going to have a little talk with them."
"Ah, but you seem to be having so much fun."
"Yeah… But threats from a scary immortal leader of a Hybrid army pack a little more punch, than from the vengeful sister. But don't worry. If all fails, I have a back-up plan." He laughed,
"And what might that be?"
"You'll just have to wait and see. But for now," I gave Tony a firm smack on the arm, "Tony needs a bath. We have places to be, and you my friend, smell like a sweaty wet dog." I gave him a sweet smile as he glared and stormed off to shower.
…
I scanned the Grill; it was fairly busy, but it was easy to spot Elena and Damon near the pool table as they talked to each other in such close proximity. Tony stays a bit behind as Klaus and I just missed the end of their conversation; Klaus butted in.
"Don't mind me." Elena gasped,
"Klaus. Amelia?" Damon glanced quickly at the crowd around us before glaring at Klaus,
"You gonna do this in the Grill? In front of everyone? It's a little beneath you, don't you think?"
"I don't know what you are talking about." I speak up,
"We just thought we would pop in a grab a drink with my new friend here," Tony come forward and stands on my side. I smile and Elena's shocked face.
I noticed Damon's darts in the bored. He had a bad shot. I shake my head and grab a dart from the table, "Come on Damon, you can do better than that," I lined up; the dark effortlessly hit the bulls eye. Damon looked tried to look unimpressed,
"And when did you get so good at darts?" Klaus laughed at Damon's question and put a hand on my shoulder.
"My girls had a lot of practice over the summer. We invented this fun little game with some werewolf friends. The general idea is that you pin a werewolf to a wall, and then you soak darts in wolfsbane. And you know you rest." I grinned at Elena's horrified expression.
"Yeah I got pretty good."
"Good? Darling, your being modest." Elena started to shake her head,
"Amelia, how could you-"I quickly cut her off not in the mood to listen to her preach.
"Come on Tony, let's grab a round." He follows me to the bar and orders a few drinks.
"So your sister… she's really-" I groaned,
"Hot? Caring? Such a genuine person?" Tony laughs,
"I was going to say annoying." I chuckled and take a sip of my beer,
"Thank god. I thought I was going to have to run you over with my car." He laughed, but looked a little concerned,
"Strangely enough, I wouldn't doubt that." He took a sip of his beer, "So uh, what your next move?" I smile,
"We're going to hit someone with your car." His smile disappeared,
"Wait, seriously?"
…
"So who am I hitting?"
"Alaric. Older vampire hunter guy."
"But you told Klaus to compel you brother to take of his ring and walk into the street." I nodded,
"Correct." He shook his head,
"I think I'm missing something." I sighed,
"I love my brother. But the only way to make my sister believe we mean business is to scare the fucking shit out of her. Jeremy takes of the ring, walks out into the street. We come barreling down the road. They won't let anything happen to Jeremy. So that's when Alaric will come and save the day. Thus him getting hit by the car. But in the end, he will be fine because of his fancy ring." He was nodding though my whole explanation. I squinted my eyes at him, "Do you get it now?"
"What I've come to understand, is that your one hell of a fucking scary bitch." I smiled,
"Awe, thank you. Hey if we're lucky, we may hit my sister!" He gave me a look than nodded again,
"Yup. A very scary bitch." I decided now was the time to call Klaus to see if Damon was cooperating; he answered.
"So how are things going? Are you getting anywhere?" he sighed on the line,
"He's not being very cooperative." I knew Damon would be able to hear me on the line,
"Well Damon, I guess you'll leave us no other choice. Klaus, make the call. We're on the way." I hung up and line as Tony turned the corner only a few more blocks away from the house.
Tony picks up the speed and turns the corner. Jeremy stood in the middle of the road waiting. We were moving at full speed.
"Come on, come on, come on… Alaric move!" We were second away from hitting Jeremy; then he was shoved out of the way the last second. A body smashed into the windshield. Tony hit the brakes. I couldn't help but to laugh in disbelief, "Shit. That was close."
Tony rolls down his window,
"There I go again, bumping into people." Elena clearly didn't know I was in the car till I poked my head forward. I took a look at Alaric's mangled body,
"Ou. You guys may want to get off the road. Someone could get hurt." Elena let out a shaky breath before Tony pulled away.
…
"Ames? What are you doing here?"
"Hey Care Bear. Being so vengeful gets exhausting." I held up at bag of caramel corn for my spot on her porch, "What do you say? Movie night?" She gave a small smile and nodded; letting me in.
…
The movie of choice was Ghost Protocol; I sighed "Jeremy Renner is so hot…" Caroline groaned and punched the couch causing me to jump,
"I hate this!" I shifted and looked at the tv and back to her,
"Uh, we can change the movie if you really-"
"No Ames! I hate this." she widely gestured between me and her and then everything else… "You're besties with the bad guy; you tried to kill your brother. I'm supposed to hate you! But, it's really hard." She huffed and sat back with a lost look on her face. "I don't know what to do."
I sat up a bit and awkwardly picked at a loose thread on my top. "I didn't try to kill my brother Caroline. I knew he wouldn't get hurt."
"Oh, so you tried to kill Alaric! That's so much better."
"Care, I-"
"I understand." Wait what?
"I'm sorry, what?"
"You love Elijah; that much is clear. If someone took the man I love and threatened his life, I think I'd go on a bit of a vengeful rampage too." Caroline smiled at me before putting her head on my shoulder, "I miss us. I missus all hanging out. Just being friends. Only care in the world was what all of us were going to do once you leave us for the college life." I laughed,
"I feel like college is the last thing on my mind right now. Hey Care?"
"Yeah?"
"I'm sorry about you and Ty."
"I really don't like Klaus."
I sighed, "I know sweetie. Not many people do." I looked over at the clock and noticed it was two past midnight, "Happy Birthday Care Bear."
…
"Where have you been all night?" I jumped at the sound of Klaus's voice and turned around quickly enough to give his arm a firm 'smack'.
"You know I hate it when you vampires sneak up on me! And I spent the night at Caroline's." Klaus smiled,
"Oh yes, she's a pretty blond thing." I raised my brow,
"Uh yeah. And speaking of pretty blond things; any news about Bekah?" Klaus's back was already turned; he was walking away.
"Not yet." I glared and yelled at his back,
"You seem very nonchalant about all of this!" He ignored me. Dick. I huffed and made my way towards a group of hybrids. I scanned the crowed for someone who looked capable. "Hey, you!" the whole group turned to me. I gestured to a girl with spikey red hair. "I need a favour." She stepped forward,
"The last hybrid that did you a favor lost their head." I glared. Klaus clearly neglected to mention something happened to Tony. She had clear air of arrogance around her. And it pissed me off. She kept her eyes on mine at all times; leaving her unaware of the stake I pulled from the waistband of my jeans. Her eyes widened and she took in a breath as I lodged the stake into her heart. She dropped to the floor. But she wasn't dead yet. Hybrids aren't that easy.
The other watched as I searched for something sharp. Klaus's swords. I quickly grabbed one that hung from the wall and stormed back into the room. The hybrids fingers started twitching. With one swing her head rolled towards the on looking crowed.
"I'll say it again; I need a favor." A dark hair man stepped forward. I smiled, "Good. I need you to find the Bonnie Bennett. If anyone knows where the coffins are, it will be her. But don't be seen." He nodded and headed for the door, stepping over the body that's leaving a stream of blood on the floor.
I turn to the silent group of hybrids before leaving, "Clean up the mess. It's going to stain."
…
After I was showered and changed out of last night's clothes I made my way down stairs to find Klaus; only to hear him arguing with someone. I decided to stay back and listen in. I stood near the door with my back pressed against the wall,
"Klaus, get your hybrids out of Mystic Falls or I will remove them myself." Stefan.
"You see, if you continue to threaten me, I'm gonna be forced to retaliate. Kill people. And it will get messy again."
"Do whatever you want, I don't really care. Or you know what? Maybe I do. Maybe I care so much, that I'll drop Elijah in the Arctic." Stefan's comment made me clench my fist and glare into a spot on the wall ahead.
"Well, maybe I'll be willing to lose one brother if it meant killing yours." My breath quickened as I tried to blink back tears.
"Try me, let's find out." Mindy turned the corner to find me in my compromising position. I gestured her to follow me into the room. She looked concerned for her Sire.
"Is everything ok?"
"Everything is fine, Mindy. Stefan was just leaving after failing to make his point." Klaus took a second to glace at me. I glared.
Stefan takes this second to rush over and cut Mindy head clean off. I step back to avoid blood from streaming onto my flats.
"Well, one down. You may want to send the rest of them away before it gets messy, again. Always good to see you Amelia." I flinched but glared at his back. Once he was gone Klaus turned to me,
"Call Tyler. Now."
…
I decided I couldn't stay in the mansion so I waited on the steps for Tyler. Klaus wasn't too pleased I beheaded one of his hybrid, but for Stefan to come in a take out another. He was livid.
Tyler's car pulled in, "Ames, what up?"
"Klaus needed to see you."
"And do you know why?"
"Why else? Revenge." He shook his head but followed me over to Klaus before throwing questions at him,
"You called? I'm here. What happened?" Klaus took a breath,
"What happened is Stefan had two paths in front of him and he chose the one that made me angry. I need you to help me do something about that."
"Can't you just leave me out of it?"
"What would be the point of that?"
Tyler groaned, "Seriously man, can't you just ask another hybrid to do your bidding? I lost my friends, my girlfriend."
"Right, your girlfriend, about her... I need you to bite her."
I whipped my head over to Klaus and Tyler and I both yelled, "What?"
"Don't make me repeat myself." I stepped towards him and argued,
"A bite will kill her Klaus!"
"Yeah, I know exactly what it will do. Stefan pushed me too far, so I'm pushing back.
Tyler shook his head, "I'm not biting Caroline."
"Tyler, I've been supernaturally blessed with the good fortune of a sire-bond to you. So, one could consider this me putting your undying loyalty to the test."
"What the hell is wrong with you? I'm not hurting Caroline." Klaus stepped down,
"Alright. Alright. I'm disappointed, but you know, it's your choice... free will and all that. I'll find another way to strike at Stefan. You can go now." Tyler gave me a look before leaving.
"What the hell do you think you're doing? Just the mere suggestion of doing it; and he will. He can't help it."
"I'm aware." I growled,
"So stop him! We are not killing Caroline. Find a new plan." Klaus seemed to be struggling with keeping his temper,
"This is my plan." He step towards me, "You were so willing to risk your brother's life, but not Caroline's. Why?"
"Because there was no risk! I knew the outcome. I knew he would be safe."
"And so will Caroline. I promise you. She will not die tonight." I glared and tried to storm off but her quickly grabbed my arm and pulled me into him, "You best learn to watch your temper, dear Amelia. If you continue down this streak, you may be next."
"You won't kill me."
He smirked, "And what makes you think you're so important?" I glared but kept our faces close,
"Because you told me I was." I ripped my arm from his grasp and leaving Klaus behind.
…
I didn't know what to do. So I waited.
My room that I'm currently staying in, that I will be sharing with Elijah at Klaus's mansion, was large. And due to the fact that we were still renovating, it was very empty. The only thing in the room was a large bed, a full length mirror propped against a wall and a dresser which contained all my clothes. I didn't feel like moving things into the walk-in closet until it was finished. The room was still an overbearingly white color, and I was in desperate need of thick dark curtains.
I huffed and pulled out my phone.
"Yes?"
"Are you avoiding me, Katherine?"
"Of course not. I've been busy."
"Doing what exactly?" There was a pause. "Where are the coffins Katherine?"
"Stefan has them." I glared into the phone.
"A little more specific, please." I gritted out. I heard her sigh into the phone.
"He's only doing what he thinks is right Amelia. Just bear with him. He has plan."
"And what is that exactly?" She paused again,
"Amelia, just don't do anything rash." This caused me to pause.
"… and what do you mean by that?"
"There are rumours. I've heard some things Amelia." I was starting to get frustrated with her.
"About what?!"
"About you."
"…"
"About the things you've done while you were travelling with Klaus." I froze. "Just give Stefan time Amelia."
The line went dead.
…
I sat on my bed, clutching my knees; thinking of what Katherine said. What did she know? What has she heard? I didn't get too lost in my train of thought when Klaus burst in.
He silently looked around the bare room and started walking around.
"Did you get through to Katherine?"
"You know I did. Or else you wouldn't be asking. But you also know she didn't tell me anything. So why are you here?" Klaus stopped in front of my dresser. He started down at the only thing that sat on top. The jewelry box.
"You know, I've also heard the rumors. I would never believe them to be true if I haven't seen it first-hand; if I hadn't been the one to teach you." He opened the box. His finger grazed over the contents. He picked up a small necklace. The chain was gold. It had a single charm; a seashell.
Knoxville. Three months ago.
Amelia has been stuck in Knoxville watching a vampire by the name of Thomas Millings. Age: 537. Number of Vampires turned: 3. Kills: Unknown. Very rich. Very power. Seemed easy enough.
Amelia has been watching him for three days. Three days was all she needed. He'd be back in his home and will have a brandy on a seat in front of the fire. But tonight was different from the other two nights. Tonight he brought company. A young dark skinned girl. She was pretty. Amelia stepped out of the car and opened up the back seat. Piece by piece she put her weapon of choice together. Stepping out of the car she propped the sniper rifle on the hood and loaded the wooded bullets. A clicking sound was heard. She looked into the scope and found the couple in the den. At his usual spot in front of the fire. Thomas took hold of the girl and started to kiss her. Amelia sighed at the sight of the girl.
She took in a breath. And Exhaled. She pulled the trigger. Thomas dropped. The girl started screaming. Amelia lined up the sniper and took the shot. The girl dropped and continued screaming. Amelia had to be quick. She packed up the gun and placed it in the car. Jumping in, she drove up the long driveway. She grabbed a small pack from the car and made her way to the front door. The door was unlocked. A common mistake with vampires. They think they're invincible.
She quickly entered the house and quickly spotted the girl crawling away with her hand over her wounded shoulder. She started to beg for her life,
"No, no! Please, I didn't do anything! I promise I won't tell anyone-"Amelia continued towards Thomas not caring much for the girl.
"Sorry Hun, wrong place wrong time." It only took her a second for her to pull the hand gun out of the waist band of her jeans to fire two shots into her chest. Reaching Thomas, she turned the body over and inspected the wound. Head shot. But she didn't have much time. Amelia grunted as she tried to haul the dead weight up into a chair. After much struggle she propped him up and grabbed a thermos containing vervain water. Unscrewing the lid she pulled out 5 long drenched strips of cloths and started trying up the vampire; one around each leg, arm and one around his throat to keep his head up.
Amelia then pulled a roll out of her bag and unrolled it onto the table revealing a long row of knives and other weapons she could use to extract the information she needed. She lazily ran she fingers over her toys, before a shimmer caught her eye. She turned to the dead girl.
Around her neck was a gold chain. A single sea shell hung from the chain. She unclasped it from the girl neck. The vampire grunted. Then screamed.
Amelia stuffed the necklace in her pocket before out the gun a second time.
"What do you want? Who are you?!" Amelia fingers danced across the back of the chair until she stopped directly in front of him. She bent to his eye level. Every time he moved you could hear the sizzle or his skin being burnt.
She gave a cold smile. "I need your help finding someone."
…
A dead girl, a decapitated vampire and an agonizingly long hour later; Amelia had the information she needed to get one step closer to the werewolf Klaus was looking for. Amelia sat on the couch cleaning the blood of her knives when her phone eventually went off.
"It's been an hour. I'm assuming you've got all the information you need and will soon be disposing of the body." Amelia sighed casually into the phone before replying,
"Your assumption would be correct. We're looking for a werewolf named Ray. Memphis, Tennessee. We should find him with two girls living in a cute white picket fenced house in the back shit middle of nowhere." Klaus chuckled darkly into the phone,
"You are brilliant." Amelia smirked into the phone before ending the call. All her things were packed up. Only one last thing to do.
She picked up her phone and dialed. The witch answered,
"Amelia. Right on time." Amelia started to dig through the coat pockets of the dead vampire.
"Ingrid. I left a bit of a mess for you." Finding a wallet, she opened it to find multiple hundred bills. She returned it to its spot. All the money still in place. Ingrid sighed,
"You always do." Amelia chuckled,
"Just get here and work your magic, Witch. I don't want anyone to know I was here. And Ingrid, check the coat pocket, the vampire left you quite the tip."
Amelia ended the call and sighed when she found what she was looking for. In the right pocket there was a gold pocket watch. It was old, very old. She placed the trinket in her pocket next to the necklace, and without a second glance, left for Memphis.
…
I blinked myself out of the memory of how I got the necklace. How I got all of the necklaces, the bracelets, the pocket watches. Everything. I wasn't sure why I did it. Why I kept them. But I did. Those were my skeletons in my closet. Those are the people I've killed.
Klaus placed the necklace back in the box with the others, and smirked.
"So many precious trinkets. I would hate to think you'd have to add more to your collection. But never the less," He tossed me a small item. I caught the chain. It was a dog tag, fairly old. I flipped it over and read the first line of engraving,
"Salvatore. D." I shut my eyes and kept my head down, "What the hell is this?"
"You know perfectly well what that is. If I don't get what I want, and soon, you may as well as that to your collection."
GASP! Oh the Horror! Well there's that! So let me know what you think! Amelia clearly picked up a new skill set while with Klaus. Good? Bad? Weird? Who knows! Just making things interesting! So again, a big thank you to you all! You're all just fantastic!
