Amelia stands in the middle of Damon, Stefan and Elena. She grips Elena's hand tightly. Elena glances over her shoulder at Amelia.
''Don't be scared'' Elena whispers. ''We can sort this out'' Amelia takes a deep breath and sighs.
''Give us the doppelganger and we won't do you any harm'' One of the men says walking towards them.
''No'' Stefan says.
''Sorry no deal'' Damon snaps. The man walks clsoer to them.
''if you come any closer i will rip your head off of your god damn shoulders!'' Elena snaps. The man stands still and smiles.
''You must be Elena, the vampire sister'' Another man speaks up. Elena looks at him. ''Klaus says we can kill you all if you don't do as we say. So you can either have it the easy way. If you hand her over now no one will get hurt'' The man says standing infrotn of Elena. ''Or the hard way, where someone can get hurt'' Elena stares at the man. ''Either way we'll get the girl'' He smiles at her. Then, Elena lets go of Amelia's hand.
''I prefer the hard way!'' She shouts snapping his neck. All the men stare at her with wide eyes. ''Amelia, i want you hide behind the counter'' Elena says. Stefan, Damon and Elena all bare their fangs at the men. Then the men run at them. ''GO!'' Elena shouts pushing Amelia.
Amelia runs to the counter and sits in the corner behind it. She looks through a small gap and she sees them all fighting the men. She sighs as she knows any of them could die at any minute. When Amelia leans back against the counter she sees the vampire man that was stood infront of their car.
''Hello, sweetheart'' He says crouching down beside her. Amelia gasps and the vampire puts his hand over her mouth so she doesn't scream. ''Shh now. We don't want them to hear you'' He takes some ducktape out of his pocket and puts it over her mouth. Then he tries to pick her up but she kicks him so he just grabs her leg and drags her along the floor through the kitchen. She tries to grab onto something taht will make him stop but instead she takes the ducktape of her mouth and screams.
''ELENA! ELENAA HELP ME!'' Amelia screams. The man looks down at her with red eyes and veins popping out underneath them. He crouches down infront of her again. Her heart is pounding and is pretty sure he can hear it.
''That wasn't a smart move sweetheart'' He says putting his hand over her mouth again. Just as he picks her up to take her away again, Elena speaks.
''Going somewhere?'' She asks standing infront of them. Amelia's eyes widen when she sees her sister.
''Actually yes'' the man says grabbing some pans and knifes. He throws them at Elena, but Elena dodges every one he throws at her. Then, the man takes a wooden stake out his pocket and throws it at her, this time it hits her. Right in her stomach. Elena drops to the floor. Amelia tries to break free from the mans grasp to go to Elena, but he is too strong. She feels the lump in her throat grow. She doesn't want her sister to die. She has only just met her. She tries to think of something to do.. Then it clicks, she reaches on the side grabs a small knife.
''What are you doing?!'' The man shouts and she stabs him in his hand, the one thats over her mouth. The man screams and lets go. She turns to run to Elena, who is still lay on the floor. But it still doesn't stop him.
He grabs her ankle and drags her. Amelia drops to the floor. She grabs the knife and plungers it down in the mans heart. He screams again and lets go of her ankle.
She remembers Damon telling her that a vampire will only die from a wooden stake top the heart. She looks around for something wooden to break but everythings metal. The man begins to get up slowly she grabs the knife and stabs him several times. Tears begin streaming down her face while she does it. She has never hurt anyone before. Let alone killing someone. The blood sprays over her clothes and face, some even goes into her mouth as she is yelling whilst stabbing him. She can't control herself. All the anger is rising up and exploding out of her. She is angry because her sister is dying and the man almost killed her. She's angry because everyone is risking their lives to save hers. And she is angry because her life was normal a few days ago and now look whats going on.
Then someone stabs the man in the heart with a wooden stake; Its Damon. She takes a deep breath as she sees the man lying on the floor with loads of stab wounds.
Suddenly feels someone touching her arms. She looks up with tears in her eyes and sees Stefan. He takes the knife out of her hand and turns her so she is facing him. She bursts out crying and he wraps his arms around her.
''It's ok'' Stefan says stroking her hair gently. ''It's all over, you're safe now'' Amelia rests against Stefan's chest crying into his shirt. After a few minutes she pulls back and looks up at him.
''Where's Elena?'' She asks looking around.
''She's with Damon in the car, she's ok. She's a vampire, we heal fast. Within a few minutes the wound will be gone'' Stefan says getting up. He holds his hand out for her and she takes it and he helps her up.
Then they walk back through the diner, which is now full of dead bodies and blood. She begins to feel sick and dizzy again. ''Close your eyes'' Stefan says and she looks up at him. ''I'll guide you'' He says and she takes a deep breath, Then she closes her eyes. She hears the bell ringing as they walk out the door. When she opens them she sees Elena stood infront of her.
She lets go of Stefan's hand and wraps her arms around her sister.
''I thought you were going to die'' Amelia says.
''Not thanks to you'' Elena says pulling back. ''You saved my life Amelia'' Elena smiles at her sister. But Amelia frowns. ''Whats wrong?'' She asks.
''I almost killed him'' She says. Then tears begin running down her face again. ''Oh my god. I almost killed someone!'' She shouts and drops to her knees. Elena kneels beside her.
''Amelia, he was a vampire. You were protecting yourself. He was going to bring you to Klaus'' Elena says moving the hair out of her face. ''Come on, lets go home. We'll be safe there'' She helps Amelia up and into the car.
Amelia sits resting her head against the window and staring out of it. Elena sits beside her sister. Steafn sits i tnhe front with Damon. ''Come here'' Elena says putting her arms out. Amelia rests her head on her sisters shoulder. Elena puts her arms around Amelia and Damon begins to drive back to Mystic Falls.
When they get in Amelia tells them that shes going to go for a shower. She walks in the bathroom and locks the door. She stares at herself in the mirror for a while. She's covered in blood, all over her clothes and some on her face. What have i turned into? I don't even recognise myself. Amelia thought. She shakes her head and opens the shower door and turns it on. She takes of her clothes and puts them in the bin. Then she waits for it to go to the right temperature. Once its ready she steps inside and washes herself. She washes her hair several times as there were bits of blood in it making pieces of hair knot together. After a while she sits down and closes her eyes picturing everything that happened earlier.
''What the hell happened tonight'' Elena says getting up off the sofa.
''Klaus put them up to it'' Damon says taking a sip of alcohol.
''Like Elijah said, he is going to do everything he can to get her. He wants this curse broken so badly he doesn't care about killing everyone'' Elena says.
''Since when did Klaus care about anything or anyone anyway?'' Stefan says joining them.
''True say'' Damon agrees.
''Is Amelia alright? She's been in there for about an hour'' Stefan says chaning the subject.
''I'll go see'' Elena says walking upstairs.
Elena knocks on the bathroom door. ''Amelia'' She says. ''Are you alright in there?'' She waits for Amelia to come to the door but she doesn't. She presses her head against the door. All Elena can hear is the shower, nothing else. ''I'm coming in!'' Elena shouts and barges through the door.
When she's inside the bathroom she sees Amelia sat in the shower with a towel around her. ''Amelia!'' She shouts runing over. Elena opens the shower door and Amelia looks up at her. ''Whats wrong?'' She asks. Amelia doesn't say anything. Elena turns the shower off. She takes Amelia's hands and helps her out. ''Its going to be ok Amelia'' She says pulling Amelia out of the Bathroom and into her room.
''Sit down there'' Elena says pointing to the bed. Amelia sits down on the bed crossed legged. Elena shuts the door and takes out her hair dryer. Elena sits behind Amelia and begins blow-drying her hair. Once her hair is dry and shes wearing some of Elena's pyjamas. Her and Elena are lying down on the bed.
''You know'' Elena says. ''Even though you may have thought it was wrong doing that. It was brave, you doing that and i'm proud of you'' Elena says playing with her sisters hair. Amelia lies there with tears in her eyes listening to Elena talk.
After a while Amelia falls asleep whereas Elena has been staring at the ceiling the whole time. Elena sits up and gets off the bed trying not to wake Amelia. She walks out the room and downstairs to Stefan and Damon.
''Is she ok?'' Stefan asks as Elena stands infront of them. She shakes her head.
''When i went up to check on her, i found her sat in the shower with her eyes closed. I helped dry her hair and she has some of my pyjamas on but she hasn't spoke since she came in'' Elena says. ''Should i just compel her to forget what happened tonight or should i just leave it?'' Elena asks them. Damon and Stefan both exchange looks.
''I think you should compel her'' Damon says. Elena looks at Stefan and waits for his answer. He shakes his head.
''No, if she finds out you compelled her to forget it then she will get mad, she's just found out about Vampires. She's still freaking out about it all. Just wait til morning and see how she is'' Stefan explains. Damon rolls his eyes.
''You sound like some kind of psychiatrist'' Damon laughs.
''You're right'' Elena says sitting down. Damon and Stefan look at each other.
''Who is?'' Damon asks.
''Stefan'' Elena says. ''She might hate me forever''
''So what?! You only compelled her to help her. You did it to help her, Elena not to freak her out'' Damon says and she looks at him.
''I'm just going to go back up and stay with her'' Elena says turning away. ''Thanks for tonight. Helping her. It means alot'' She says looking over her shoulder at them. They both smile at her and she goes back up to Amelia.
