55 - I Alone

Authors Note - I know, this is strange, I'm putting this at the beginning of the chapter. It's just to say a couple of quick things, then I'll let you get on with the new update. One, sorry for not updating, but I've lacked inspiration and time. It's summer now, so I have time, and I have a lot of inspiration now. I've been planning *Insert evil winky face here*

Two, this book won two categories in the TVD fanfic awards, and I am so grateful, you would not believe. Best Plot set in TVD and Best Damon Salvatore Fanfic. I was up against some amazing writers, but you guys nominated and voted, and this book won. I love you all so much for it.

I have some more things to say, but they'll be at the end of the update. I hope you all enjoy

It had only been a day since Portland, and while what he did was wrong, Amelia had given up on trying to be mad at Damon. This was his decision to make, which he would suffer the consequences for at some point. There was no point in doing anything other, then letting him learn on his own.

"What do think Matt wants with Stefan?" Amelia asked curiously, as the couple made their way through the cemetery, on their way to meet with Liv.

He gave her a look. "I don't know. It's Matt. Food, money, a new social class. Whatever it is, it better distract Stefan from his sizeable screw-up with Caroline."

She winced at the thought. Caroline had gone MIA since Friendsgiving, everything with Stefan getting a bit much for her, so she was spending some time with her Mom outside of the border. Stefan had yet to properly talk to the girl, neither of them willing to attempt to make the first move. It was a awkward situation for them, and everyone that knew them.

"Oh yeah." She sighed. "I should probably call Care, find out how she's doing. I just want them both to be happy."

"Even if she goes completely crazy and flips her switch, cause she can't bare the thought of being without him?"

Amelia gave him a glare, hitting him in the chest. "That's mean."

"That's truthful." But that only earned him a huff, as she stormed ahead. "What? Oh, come on. Amelia! You love me!"

"Debatable." She retorted.

Their bickering halted, as they spotted Liv in the distance, knelt on the ground digging through a bag. Amelia shot her a grin, as the girl turned to face them. "Wonder twin two. Thanks for doing this."

"Don't worry about it." The Parker witch shrugged. "I needed an excuse to get out of that frat house. Way too much boy. Gross." Seeing their disinterested looks, she rolled her eyes, before getting to the point. "You got everything?"

"Yep." Damon said, popping the p. "Blood from a Bennett - Lucy to be exact - and an Ascendant from whatever the hell your last name is." Amelia pinched the bridge of her nose, as Liv took the stuff from him, giving the Salvatore a icy look.

Looking away from him, she examined the Ascendant curiously. "So this is the famous Ascendant? Surprised Jo gave it up." The blonde mused. "It's the only thing keeping Kai in his prison. If he gets out, he's coming after Jo."

The two vampires looked at one another, Damon shifting awkwardly on his feet. No one knew about the compulsion he did on Ric, apart from Amelia and Stefan, and he wanted to keep it that way. He had compelled Alaric to forget it happened, so everything would be fine in that front.

"Well, good old Jo..." The Salvatore trailed off, making the witch raise a brow at him. "Can we do this please?"

Shrugging, she nodded. "Whatever. So, I'm gonna need the moon to activate the Ascendant. It will be viable for about 8 hours, so once I send you over, the clock is ticking."
