Trust. Trust was a two way thing, to be able to trust a person, you need to be able to trust them. Did Amelia trust Elena ? No, no at all, but she still left New York with her and Rebekah. Why ? In her head, it all made sense, without emotions Elena feels nothing for Damon, it also solves the Sire Bond issue. If Elena took the cure, she'd be back to her normal human self, with a choice to make between Stefan and Damon.

After everything that happened, it was obvious Elena would pick Damon, and her relationship with Stefan was too damaged to go back to him. Getting Rebekah to take the cure was the best option. And, this plan would of worked fine, if Elena completely trust Amelia and vise versa. Which is how Amelia got to this point.

Getting her neck snapped, then laid unconscious in the trunk of Damon's car, Elena and Rebekah long gone in a different car they stole. To say she was angry, would be the world's biggest understatement. Neither girl will live long when she gets her hands on them.

"If they have so much as even scratched the paint on my car..."The Eldest Salvatore's voice trails off, two sets of footsteps coming toward the car.

Relief washed across Amelia's face, having been waiting hours for the Brother to finally find the car, so they could get her out of the trunk. She knew they would be angry at her, Damon especially, but that was a problem to be dealt with later.

"Why don't you just be grateful Sheriff Forbes was able to track down the car after you let them, uh... You know steal it from you" Stefan suggests, a slight smugness in his tone, which Amelia couldn't blame him for.

"Remind me to send her some mini muffins" Damon grumbles "Do we really need 10 gallons of gas or are you just making me lug this around as punishment ?"

"Well, they ditched your car after it ran out of fuel. We got to fill it up. We got a hundred miles before we get to Willoughby"

"Yeah, well, I don't remember that name from the list of places that i got in New York" The Eldest argues bitterly.

"Oh, the list" Stefan begins to mock "You mean the list they stole from right under your nose after you let your guard down ? They'll be there. Sheriff Forbes tracked down the car they stole after yours"

"Screw the muffins. I'll get her champagne if Elena and Amelia is wherever it may be" Damon corrects his earlier statement.

"Willoughby, cream corn capitol of Pennsylvania. They'll be there. Let's just hope we get to them before they get the cure" Stefan sighs, Amelia hearing them both leaning against the car, as Damon begins to pour the fuel into the gas tank.

"Ooh, silver lining" Damon begins "If Rebekah takes the cure, then she's mortal. And we can just kill her right there and then"

"Ooh, dark cloud" Stefan begins to dismiss, once again mocking Damon's tone "Elena stays a Vampire forever. Look, why don't you just table the revenge fantasies for now and just keep your eye on the prize. Find Katherine, get the cure, get out before you get your neck snapped. Again"

"Believe me, I learned me lesson" The Eldest assures "Elena without humanity is a stone cold bitch. And I won't trust her till we get the old Elena back"

"Look at that. We're finally on the same page about something"

"Look at that"

Taking that as her cue, Amelia begins to bang on the trunk with her fists, in an attempt to get herself "GUYS ! IN HERE !" She shouts, banging repeatedly as loudly as possible.

A few seconds later, the trunk pops open and sunlight comes streaming into the car, making Amelia cover her eyes from how bright it suddenly is. Once her sight adjusts once again, she bolts uo and immediately jumps out of the car, stumbling slightly as she does so.
