Damon's POV

Bonnie and Elena standing behind the settee where Amelia sat. Bonnie was clutching a large very old looking book to her chest, looking at Amelia with sadness in her eyes, what was that about?

Bonnie walked round and sat on the settee next to Amelia and placed the book on her lap. Elena walked up to Stephan and pulled him into an embrace. I hated it when Elena kissed Stephan, all I could think about was how it would feel for her to kiss me, the feel of her lips on mine, her hands round my neck, the feel of her waist in my arms...

I wanted her again, no amount of telling myself otherwise would change it, seeing them together made me want her.

"my name is Bonnie and I'm a witch, I know that its kinda hard to deal with everything going on but trust me, it'll get better" Bonnie said taking Amelia's hand in hers "I think I know what you are"

Amelia slowly parted her lips "you do? What am I then?" she said softly, barely audible.

Bonnie opened the book to a page that had a large crescent moon drawn in the middle and the title 'the protectors'.

Amelia's POV

Like witches there are other supernatural beings that the earth has long forgotten that have become the subjects of myths and Fairytales. Vampires and werewolves are the more commonly know of these beings and are among the few creatures left walking the earth. Most the creatures have died out but there lives among us a creature who will never cease to exist until the rest of us are gone, these are call the protectors.

Way back in the time of the very first vampires and werewolves lived a man called Jasper Colin Smith and his brother Klaus William Smith. Klaus smith was amount the very first vampires to walk the earth some thousands of years ago. At first his Jasper Smith believe that his brothers new found powers were bestowed upon him by God but when he heard the stories about the blood sucking demons that walked the earth he began to wonder. One day Jasper went to tend to his horses in the barn and came across his brother in the barn, drinking the blood of a poor servant girl. Appalled by what he saw he swore to kill the monster that was his brother and any other like him. Jasper Smith, who was decedent from a line of witches, placed a curse upon Klaus so that he may be killed by a descendent of the family. Unfortunately the curse only effected Jaspers 17 year old daughter Mary. Mary hadn't change physically and was bitten in the fight against, once bitten Mary gain powers beyond image and became much like he who she was fighting. Unfortunately she died before she could kill Klaus. Unknown to Jasper smith, the curse effected almost every direct female in the family. The curse had back fired, the spell gave them the power to kill the originals but at a price. The 'Protectors' must be turned into something they fear the most, the must give up their lives selflessly to complete the change. A girl from the direct line of family will be marked with a crescent moon on there wrist in the place where their ancestor Mary had been bitten. The protectors are very few and far between but hold the power to kill any and all evil creatures.

The protectors have been know to hold the powers of elements and have all the abilities of the vampire in which they hate but they are more powerful. A protector will attract vampire towards herself until she learns to control it, even when they are still human which increases the chance of them being bitten. But a protector will only gain her full powers and the ability to kill vampires when she makes the ultimate sacrifice and drinks the blood of another human once she has been bitten.

The protectors are rare and will act on instinct when in the face of danger. Once the world is rid Klaus the women of the family can have the curse lifted but only upon choice. Once the girl is bitten then the girl has 24 hours in which to make her choice, change and fight the originals or die.

Tears rolled down my cheek, a few hours ago I thought I was about to die, a few minutes ago there was hope and now I might die again. My fate was set I'm stone I either change and fight a battle between good and evil or I die.

" that what I believe you are" said Bonnie, tears welling up in her eyes as well "you have a choice hunny and no one can make it for you, you can either change and help us fight Klaus or you can choose to um...not. Either way I understand, life has been difficult for you, I've seen that just by touching your hand. It doesn't have to be as bad as you think, we can help you defeat Klaus and save your family line."

Bonnie held my hand tight as I looked around the room, from Damon to Elena, from Elena to Stephan, from Stephan to Bonnie's. They all watched me as my mind made a choice and it was so hard I could say anything.

Damon shattered the silence and stepped forward, " Amelia you have until the same time tomorrow to desire, you don't have to make up your mind now, just think about it"

Damon's words calmed me, Bonnie, Elena and Stephan had left the room to give me some time to think and just before Damon left he turned from the doorway and asked over his shoulder,

"why did you kiss me?" he said this as if it where playing on his mind and as if it was hard to ask.

"because I wanted to" I blushed and replyed

He gave a large grin over his shoulder and laughed "good to know"

and with that I was alone to make the biggest choice of my life.

NOTE FROM THE WRITER: okay, not much romance in this chapter but you kinda needed to know all this for the plot line. One thing keeps playing in my mind should Damon fall in love with Amelia or should Elena leave Stephan to be with Damon because of Amelia? I have a few ideas but would love some feed back on what you think should happen! Thanks :)
