AMY'S POV
For a couple of seconds, I just gawked at him, adrenaline making my head spin
"I think you've heard of me before." He stated "Judging by the look of petrifaction on your face."
"I-" I heard myself stammer "What?"
"I think you've heard me quite clear." He smiled at me slightly as I tried to get my phone from my pocket without him noticing. I needed to tell Damon, tell anyone-
He snatched the phone out of my hand "Let me make you a favor." He said, finding Damon's name in the contacts, and showed me the phone "Call your boyfriend here. So that I can kill him without actually having to look for him."
That made me stop and my eyes shot up to his
"Please don't." I whispered and he raised his brows
"Not him? Oh, perhaps you would rather it if I killed your little hunter buddy first then? Luke, wasn't it?" he found his name on the contacts "Or maybe one of your brothers. Or two. Three makes a crowd, but I'm sure I can handle-" he was cut off when I grabbed the phone and put it on the table.
"Yeah I got the message."
"Did you?"
"Yeah, don't tell anyone or they'll be dead like your parents." I deadpanned and he shrugged
"It seems like I have a thing for killing Walsh family members."
"But not me."
"Are you sure about that?"
I tried to keep my head high "Would we be having this conversation if you wanted me dead?"
"Maybe I like playing with my food." He brushed a piece of my hair away from my face "And I like looking upon pretty things who look scared."
I shot him my best Damon glare. "Nice pick up line. I'm sure you tell that to all girls whose parents you murdered."
He let out a chuckle
"Feisty."
"What do you want?"
"Did my brother miss that topic in your conversation?" he asked calmly and I gulped
"Elijah?"
"Mm hm." He sipped my beer "He's a bit uptight, isn't he?"
"H-How did you-?"
"And not as good looking, apparently. Did you tell him he was handsome too when you first met?"
"I was busy with being insane."
A smile pulled at his lips "I wouldn't exactly call it insanity."
"Yeah you look like such a great authority over healthy minds."
"I am at breaking them." He took another sip "Would you want me to practice it on you? Or Rachel?"
That got me shut up.
"That's better." He commented "Feisty is fun at first, but can be annoying after some time."
"Don't-" I had to clear my throat "Stay away from them."
"That depends on you."
"I don't even know what you want from me!" I snapped, the fear taking over "I just-"
"Shh sh sh." He hushed me "Tell my brother I'm here." he stood up "Tell him we have things to discuss. He knows where to find me."
I dug my nails into my palms in order not to break down right there and then. He smirked
"I'll see you around, Amy Walsh." He said, and just like that, he was gone. I stood up on trembling legs, grabbed my phone and purse and made my way to my car. I got inside the car, sobs already rising from my chest and I tried to start the car, but I couldn't even hold the keys stable. I tried to breathe through the sobs, then wiped my eyes and found Damon's name in the contacts.
"Two times a day-"
"Damon." I sniffled and just like that, every ounce of playfulness was gone from his voice
"What happened, where are you?" he asked and I wiped my eyes again, breathing hard
"I-" I stammered "I'm in- I'm at Grill-"
"Don't move, I'll be right there." He hung up and I put the phone on the passenger seat, then buried my face into my hands and took deep breaths, trying to calm myself down. Not long after, my door opened and I jumped up but Damon pulled me outside, checking me for injuries frantically.
"What? What happened, why are you crying?"
"I'm fine." I muttered, sniffling. "I'm sorry, I just- I needed not to be alone."
"You're shaking."
"I know." I gulped, trying to pull myself together. My shaking hands balled up into fists and I suddenly remembered what Klaus had said. I looked around, then turned to Damon.
"Are you okay?"
"What? Of course I'm fine, you're the one who's crying, not me." he shot me a look "What happened? Is it that kid again? I swear he's this close to-"
"No no, it's not Luke." I shook my head, wiping my eyes. "Damon, can we- can we leave?"
He eyed me up and down "Get to the passenger seat, I'm driving."
I was too shaken up to even argue so I got into the car. He got inside as well and started the car, then drove off
"My house-"
"We're going to my place." He said in a tone that held no place for any argument. I frowned slightly
"Why your place?"
"Because that way your brothers won't interrupt our conversation in every five minutes." He muttered, looking at the road. I let out a short laugh and leaned my head to the window.
"Isn't Katherine there?" I mumbled and he took his glance off the road for a second to look at me.
"She's gone."
"What do you mean she's gone?"
"I don't know, one day we woke up and she wasn't here. I don't care much, to be honest."
Suddenly it dawned on me that Katherine was probably away or in hiding because of Klaus. The ship, the town was going down and she was the first rat to leave the place.
"Makes sense…" I muttered and he frowned slightly
"What?"
"Nothing."
""Amy-"
"Can we not talk about it?" my voice came out harsher than I had intended and I shut my eyes for a second
"I'm not trying to be a bitch." I stated, now in a calmer tone "It's just been a long day."
"No shit." He said and I bit my fingernails, deciding not to talk for the rest of the road. When he pulled over, I unbuckled my seatbelt and opened the door, then walked outside. I looked around, half hoping to see Elijah. Damon caught up with me and shot me a worried look
"What's going on?"
I turned my gaze from the forest, then only shrugged and walked to the boardhouse. I walked inside, then heaved a deep sigh and rubbed my face
"I need to call Luke here."
"What?"
"And my brothers."
"Amy." He said "What's going on?"
"Must be that time of the year," I tried to smile "Long story short, evil original trying to kill us all."
"Elijah?"
"Klaus."
"You've seen Klaus?!" he approached me "Are you okay, did he hurt you?"
"I'm fine." I said, grabbing my phone "I'm not very sure if we all will be fine, though. Call Stefan, Elena and Bonnie too."
An hour later, everyone was in the living room as Damon filled himself a glass of scotch, and I grabbed it from him, then sipped it, ignoring Dan's glares
"So?" Will said "Why are we all here?"
"More important question, why are you two in the same house?" Mike asked and I raised my brows
"Seriously?"
"Yeah, didn't you two break up?"
"We'll get back together."
"Damon." I said warningly and he shrugged
"We will."
"You wish." Luke snorted and I rolled my eyes
"Stop that." I said and hastily added when Damon opened his mouth "Both of you."
Elena repressed a laugh
"Please don't tell me you got pregnant."
"Vampires can't get pregnant, Mike."
"I still have a stake with his name on it, just in case."
Damon shot him a look
"Or marriage." Mike said "Please don't tell me you pulled a Bella-"
"You watched Twilight?"
"Chicks dig that."
"My respect for you is disappearing by the second." Will muttered and I groaned
"No one is getting married, or knocked up. Serious vampire emergency." I downed my drink "Okay, I need to go with summary, because I'm really- you can ask me questions when we get home, okay?" I asked to my brothers, who nodded
"Okay." I took a deep breath "And don't interrupt, because I'm struggling to be calm right now."
"Okay."
"Here's the thing." I took another breath "You know how you've all been told that when I was a child, the vampires attacked our house because of vengeance? Because my grandfather killed an original's lover?"
Dan nodded
"That's a lie."
"What do you mean that's a lie?" Dan demanded and I bit my lips
"I'm getting there. The said originals-"
"Two of them." Damon cut me off and my head shot up
"There's more?!"
"Yeah." Stefan nodded and I looked between them
"No one thought of mentioning that?"
They shrugged simultaneously and I gritted my teeth
"Okay, two of the said originals, are in town right now."
"What?!"
"How do you know that?!"
"Are you okay?" Will, Dan and Mike jumped to their feet and I shook my head
"I'm alright. Anyways, according to what Elijah says- yeah, that Elijah, turns out he's been lying to you for the entire time to keep an eye on me- Klaus wants something from me. Neither of them said what it was, but Elijah told me to make sure I stayed human, which brings me to conclusion that it somehow has to do with me being…"
"Sane." Luke finished my sentence "Do we know what they wanted, from your family?"
Damon shook his head
"Elijah was a vampire?" Will whispered and Dan's jaw clenched
"I thought- well, we thought Katherine would know something about it-"
"And Katherine is…?"
"Damon and Stefan's ex-"
"Who killed Amy." Elena pointed out "She also looks exactly like me."
"And she's a bitch." Bonnie stated
"I think they got it from killing Amy part, Bonnie."
"Your ex killed my little sister?"
"No, she was- that night, the night we were attacked, Katherine was there."
"Wait, I didn't know that either." Damon said "Katherine was there?"
"After the vampires were gone, she searched for something in the house and left me there."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"You sure you want to start that discussion?" I growled at him and Luke rubbed his face
"So okay, she kept some secrets from each one of us. Amy, keep going."
"So she's in this too." I stated "Oh, and Klaus came to me tonight, and threatened to kill everyone that I love, so I thought you should know, because not knowing it makes it a lot dangerous."
A silence fell upon everyone and Mike shifted in his seat
"Did you hear that sound? That is the sound of my head exploding, what the fuck?!"
"We need a plan." Dan said "And we need to keep you safe. You're not gonna be alone any time, you hear me?"
"I got that covered." Damon said and Luke raised a hand
"Me too."
"Another country heard from, great." Damon muttered
"Meanwhile we're gonna be contacting the other hunters." Dan said "Will-"
"I can drive to Michigan, maybe there's something in uncle's house that we missed." Will said and Mike nodded
"I can go through dad's journals, maybe we can find something there."
"I'm gonna try to find some spells concerning originals."
"I can do searching." Elena said "Me and Stefan, he probably knows some people who heard from originals, right Stefan?"
He nodded "I can contact to some older vampires."
"I can ask my dad, he's in the Council." Luke said and I smiled
"Thank you. All of you."
"We're gonna protect you, okay, little sist?" Dan pressed a kiss to my forehead "Just stay calm."
"Thank you."
"I gotta make some phone calls." Dan said "Damon-"
"I'll bring her home safe, Dan." Damon nodded and Will hugged me
"I gotta hit the road for Michigan." He said "See you at home?"
"Do you want me to stay?" Mike asked me and I shook my head
"I'll be home soon, I just… I need to talk to Damon."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure Mike. Go home, go through the journals." I squeezed his hand assuringly "Thank you."
Elena, Bonnie and Stefan were already discussing the plan in a corner, and I walked towards Luke
"Can I talk to you? Alone?"
"Sure." He said and we walked upstairs, to Damon's room. I closed the door shut and turned to him
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah. Are you?"
I nodded slowly
"You should've told me." he said and I nodded
"It's gonna be fine." I said slowly "It has to."
"It will be." Luke said, then walked to hug me tight "I'm gonna protect you, you hear that? Every one of us will."
"I know." I buried my face to his shirt "I'm gonna protect you too." I pulled back slightly "In order to protect me, and you all, I need you to promise me something."
"Anything."
"Luke, you're the only person I can trust with this." I said "I need to know I can trust you."
"Just tell me."
"I don't know about Klaus much, but I know that he caused my parents to die, so I know that if he gets what he wants, a lot of people will end up like them. I know that I can't let him get what he wants."
"We'll protect you."
"I need you to do the opposite."
"What?"
I took a deep breath "If I somehow- if I turn my emotions off again, or if I do anything that might lead him to use me for himself, including getting captured…" I gulped and looked up to his warm, hazel eyes
"If it gets to that point, I need you to stake me in the heart."
