Mate Bonds

THE DINNER PARTY

LAKE HOUSE

Amelia is sitting on the couch, tears falling down her face, sobbing. Caroline has her arm around her shoulder while Elena kneels down in front of her taking her hands in hers lifting them to her lips.

She stands up and begins to walk towards the front door, Amelia stands up grabbing her arm looking at her through her tears

Amelia: Please don't go

Elena: It's okay. He can't get in the house.

Elijah walks closer towards the house.

Elijah: You know, I might not be able to enter this house...But I'm a very patient man. I'll wait you out.

Elena slowly walks out from behind the wall.

Caroline: Come here, baby

She wraps her arms around Amelia pulling her into her chest, running her fingers through her hair.

Elena: They shouldn't have done what they did.

Elijah: The deal is off.

Elena: I'm renegotiating.

Elijah: You have nothing left to negotiate with.

There is a moment's silence. Then, Elena pulls out a knife. Elijah looks amused.

Elena: I'd like to see you lure Klaus into Mystic Falls after the doppelgänger bleeds to death.

Elijah: Your mate bond will never allow you to die.

Elena: No it won't. It'll just heal me but I can still kill myself and become a vampire, just like Katherine did. So unless you want that to happen again, promise me the same as before...promise me...You won't harm anyone that I love. Even if they've harmed you.

Elijah: I'm sorry, Elena. I'm going to have to call your bluff.

Elena breathes out and points the knife to her stomach. Elijah watches her, unsure of what she will do. Elena looks up at him and stabs herself in the stomach. She screams in pain and falls to the floor. There is blood gushing everywhere. Elijah rushes towards the door, but stops at the threshold because he has not been invited in. Elena drops the knife on the floor and clutches her stomach.

Elijah: No! Yes. Yes, you can have your deal. Let me heal you.

Elena: Give me your word!

Elijah: I give you my word.

Elena limps outside and into Elijah's arms. Suddenly, she stabs Elijah with the silver dagger and Elijah falls to the ground, dead. Elena falls to the ground as well, weak from the blood loss. Amelia runs out of the house and kneels down throwing her arms around Elena's neck as their mate bond begins to heal her wound.

Elena cups Amelia's face in her hands, caressing her cheek, smiling at her.

Caroline: Little tip; don't pull the dagger out

Damon: Ah shut up.

SALVATORE HOUSE

Amelia walks into her bedroom hearing the shower running, she looks confused

Amelia: Elena? Care?

She walks into the bathroom. Katherine is in the shower, she walks out and stands in front of Amelia, completely naked

Katherine: Hey baby, do you have a robe?

Amelia's eyes begins to well up with tears as she runs and leaps into her arms throwing her arms around her neck as Katherine spins her around before placing her down and cups her face

Amelia smiles up at her with a loving look.

Amelia: How'd you get out?

Katherine: I knew that if I begged your friends not to kill Elijah, that's exactly what you'd do. Little known fact...Originals can compel vampires. But as soon as they die, the compulsion wears off.

Amelia: And you knew.

Katherine: And I'm here. I'm gonna help you, Melly.

Amelia lunges forward smashing their lips together, Katherine lifts her up in her arms walking her out of the bathroom towards the bed. Their lips moving together in perfect sync.

Amelia: I love you

Kathrine: I love you more, babygirl.
