As Damon began to tell Elena all about Klaus and Amelia and how Amy is the same Amelia, he could see her new understanding as she took in a sharp breath of air. Finally coming out of shock all Elena could say was "How?"
"That's what Stefan and I want you to find out."
Elena now irritated asked, "Why do you need me to find out?"
"Because… Amy knows what I am, she wouldn't trust me. After Stefan threatened to expose her to last night with calling Klaus she doesn't trust either of us."
That's when Elena's eyes went wide with fear, "Why didn't Stefan come to school today?"
"Oh, his pride is still hurt from when Amy staked him last night." Elena took a step back her hand clutching to the collar of her shirt as is if it were constricting her. Damon still amused by the events that happened the night before grasps Elena's arm tightly and said, "It's alright! Stefan is fine… But I have to say it was a close one, a centimeter closer and she would have driven it straight through his heart…If she wanted to kill him she wouldn't have missed."
"So what are you saying? Is Amy an enemy or an ally?" Elena asked as her brow knit together to make one crumpled line upon her face.
Damon smiled widely and said, "She is absolutely an ally! The fact that Stefan was being a complete ass and threatening her gave her the right to stake him. I mean seriously, the bastard had what was coming to him. The fact that she didn't kill him shows that she's smart because she knew that when Klaus didn't hear from his little messenger boy that he would come down to see why, and the fact that she doesn't want to see him makes her our ally!"
Elena nodded in comprehension, and then suddenly her face became ashen as a wave of understanding swept over her like a wave crashing over a large rock, she then whispered, "She told me…"
"Told you what?"
"…She told me about Klaus… Technically, she didn't exactly mention his name but she meant him."
Damon was now curious and prodded Elena for more, "What did she say…Exactly!"
Elena searched her mind for the words then replied, "She said that she and this guy were really serious and that they were dating for about three years then he changed, and there was no way to get the man that she loved back."Elena stared at the ground as she felt Amy's pain the fact that she had fallen in love with Klaus only to be taken away the night before her own wedding …But how did she get away? How did she get here? How is she even alive? The list of questions just went on and on and they started to irritate her, "We have to find out why she's here!"
Damon nodded with fake enthusiasm saying, "Yes I know that's where you come in, she's your friend so you'll be the one to get the most information!"
Elena nodded then asked, "Should I tell her that I know her secret?"
Damon nodded and replied, "I'd be surprised if she didn't know that I had already told you. She probably suspected it."
Elena nodded again then set off to find Amy and ask her the many questions that were pressing on her mind.
As Amy loaded her groceries into her precious blue car she scanned her surroundings only to be disappointed, she had been dying to find a library all week and was yet to find one sufficient of her needs. As she began to drive out of the store's parking lot she continued her search glancing at every large shadow or bricked building. Once she got home she gathered her bags and put away all of the groceries, she then retreated to the computer room where she found the map of Mystic Falls on Google maps.
As Amy made her way out of the house she decided to walk, the weather was dry and warm for a fall afternoon; the library she had found wasn't far from her own home! The reason why she couldn't find it before was because it was hidden from the world by dozens of weeping willows, and crab apple trees that had just flowered. The walk way was quite beautiful but the building itself took Amy's breath away. The library was built out of bricks with an unusual rusted color, as these bricks formed around the building it created a certain church like exterior along with the sleek stain glass windows the library felt cozy and safe. Once Amy entered the library all she saw was books, mountains and mountains of every book that a girl could possibly want. Instantly Amy felt at home. She set herself down on a plushy olive green chair with a copy of Jane Austen's "Sense and Sensibility" clutched between her hands eager to finally have time to herself where she wouldn't have to deal with vampires, hybrids, witches, and even humans. She always found a library as her own little sanctuary where she could really relax and embrace her true self. Here she didn't have to hide her age; here she wouldn't be bothered with the tedious ramblings of teenage love struck girls, or hormonal boys. Here she could just read, (Amy would usually read books about the past because they reminded her of what she was doing during that very time period,) as Amy read Sense and Sensibility she remembered she had been traveling with her companion Sebastian during this time period, a English sailor who always wanted adventure, he was a tall lad with hair as red as wild cranberries and eyes as blue as the ocean he sailed on. As handsome as Sebastian was their relationship only spread as far as one of a brother and sister, they traveled together for many years, exploring together until Sebastian fell in love with a blonde Swedish girl named Elsa on one of their expeditions. They were later married in a ceremony to which Amy had attended the year was1811 the very year that this book was first published. As Amy thought of these fond memories of her friend it reminded her of her curse, always there never to leave, never to move forward from this state, yes she could grow old, and yes she could die but she would always end up in the same place…Earth. Amy now being nudged in the shoulder was forced out of her reverie. She turned to see who the nudger was and saw a pair of boyish blue eyes, she recognized the familiar face and smiled at it.
Matt now standing I front of Amy returned the smiled and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Usually Amy would have felt angered and indignant about the intrusion upon her sanctuary but she welcomed Matt with open arms. There was something about him that made her feel at home and safe, not like her companions, and not like Klaus. This feeling was new to her and she was curious to figure it out. Amy motioned for Matt to sit and said, "I come to libraries to get away… You know relax. How about you? Why are you here?"
Matt smiled dreamily at Amy as he listened to her lark voice, not paying attention to what she was saying just said, "Huh?"
Amy used to reactions like this repeated herself making sure to emphasize key words, "WHY ARE YOU HERE?"
Matt, his face turning the color of a sweet pea flower, reached the back of his neck with his right hand casually trying to redirect his embarrassment and replied, "I'm here to relax too…"
Amy looked at Matt quizzically and asked, "Really, a big jock like you? I figured that you'd rather relax by watching TV, or working on cars."
"Nope not me, I prefer to read a good book!" Matt lied through his teeth,
Amy knew that he was lying and decided to have a little fun.
"What book do you have there, Matt?" Amy grabbing at the book that Matt had randomly picked from the shelf.
"Oh it's nothing… I'm rereading it anyway."
As Amy turned over the book she began to smile and asked, "I never took you for a Shakespeare lover!"
At this point Matt's eyes are as wide as his body would allow as he asked, "What?"
"Well this book is the play, 'Much Ado about Nothing.' A well known comedy written by Shakespeare," Matt stood there dumbfounded for a moment as Amy continued, "You've never read this before have you?" Matt reluctantly nodded his head as Amy tried to stifle a giggle, "Why are you here, really Matt?"
Matt looked down shyly and replied, "I sort of followed you…"
Amy smiled and said, "Why did you only follow? You could have joined me… I wouldn't have minded…In fact I would have loved your company," Matt grinned from ear to ear as he heard this, "Do you want to sit with me now and read?" Matt nodded enthusiastically and sat himself into a mustard yellow chair with a more rectangular frame than that of Amy's they sat together reading silently until Matt asked, "How the heck can a person follow this?"
Amy sighed and said, "Maybe you should start with something a little less confusing…How about 'Because of Windixie' I hear it's an easy read!"
As Amy began to chuckle Matt became very headstrong and declared, "I will read this play by the end of tomorrow… It's really not that hard…" As he began to flip through the book you could feel the confusion radiating off of him as they both continued to read their books.
