"I'm dying?" I repeated as a question, not believing that I would actually die a natural way instead of by a supernatural being.
"I'm sorry..." Stefan said as I sat up.
"Klaus said you have to go with him if you want to be cured" Jeremy said from the end of the bed.
"Isn't that great" I said sarcastically before standing up.
"Where do you think you're going missy" Damon said swirling bourbon in a glass.
"I'm going to kick Klaus' ass that's where I'm going and what I'm doing now move out of my way" I said trying to get passed him.
"No. You need rest" he said looking me square in the eyes.
"Move" I said dangerously low.
"Butt in bed. Now" Damon said turning me around before I shoved him up against the wall and sped out of the house.
"Klaus! Get your sorry ass down here!" I screamed, breaking down his door.
After several minutes of silence, I grabbed two pans and started banging them together while screaming to Klaus again.
"Alright sweetheart. Stop all the ruckus!" Klaus said walking down the stairs in nothing but jeans.
"What the HELL DID YOU DO TO ME!" I said throwing the pans to the side.
"Well... to ensure that you would come with me, I placed a tiny curse on you" he said indicating the word tiny with his thumb and index finger.
"Go with you where?" I said glaring daggers at him.
"I don't know. Travel the world. Drink. Get drunk. Maybe even a little killing spree?" he said as he walked the rest of the steps down.
"Absolutely not. This was a mistake. I shouldn't of come here" I said taking steps back toward the door before I started to cough up blood again.
"Uh oh sweetheart. It's starting again" he said in a song song manner before I sped out, soon stopping to cough up more blood.
I sat against a tree in the woods, every few minutes choking on blood.
"She's over here!" I heard someone say. It sounds like... Matt?
"Go... away" I groaned as Caroline, Damon, and Matt crowded around me.
"Upsy daisies" Caroline said grabbing one of my arms and flung it over her shoulder.
"Go... away" I groaned again, blood dripping from a corner of my mouth.
"You have a little somethin' somethin'" Damon said sarcastically as he pointed to the corner of my mouth.
"Go... away" I repeated for the third time.
"Look. You need help. Ta da! Help. Now cooperate" Damon said getting annoyed as he snaked my other arm around his shoulder.
I moaned before they dragged me to the house. The plopped me down on the couch, much to my disagreement.
"I'm fine!" I said standing up from the couch slowly.
"You sure take after me" Damon said letting me stand up.
"Mom?" I said looking at her figure across the room.
"What?" Stefan said following my line of sight.
"She's... are you... are you really here?" I said to my mother.
"Amelia... Moms not here" Stefan said standing in front of me, grasping my shoulders.
"She's right there!" I yelled pointing behind him before I got out of his firm grasp and walked in front of her.
"Mommy? Talk... Can you talk to me?" I said looking intently at her face, seeing if she is actually there.
"Why would I ever talk to you? You remember don't you? You killed me. It's your fault" she said calmly yet the words had so much power over me.
"No. No I didn't. You... you said it was okay!" I said, my voice cracking slightly.
"Snap out of it... She isn't here" Damon said over my shoulder.
"Do you really think it was okay? I was just trying to make you feel better..." She said before saying, "This is a hallucination. You're hallucinating this. Me. This isn't real"
She left as quick as she appeared before I just ran a hand through my hair and closed my eyes, breathing softly.
"I'm going with Klaus" I said turning around to face everyone.
"There has to be another way... We will find it" Bonnie said.
"No. I can't wait. I don't want to wait!" I said before walking up to my room.
I laid down on my bed before Jeremy opened the door.
"What!" I said placing my hands on my head.
"There has to be another way. I won't let you go with him. With that monster" he said as I began to sit up.
"I can't... I can't wait and I know it's only been a day or two, but I can't Jeremy. The blood. The hallucinations. What's next!?" I said resting my head on my head board.
"You are strong enough Amelia. I know you are. You just have to fight it until Bonnie can find another way" he said taking my face in his hands.
"At what cost? Bonnie's death? If Klaus' witch put this curse on me, odds are it's a big spell... and I have a feeling he didn't have just one witch. Bonnie will most likely die by curing me. If I go with Klaus, at least I know that Bonnie will be safe and alive" I said taking his hands away from my face and into my hands.
"What about you. What about us. We just got you back. I just got you back and I'm not letting you go again" he said holding my hands as well.
"It's my choice Jeremy. This is my decision. If you don't like it then I'm sorry... I really am. I'm going through with this" I said standing up.
"Fine" Jeremy said before storming out of the room.
I breathed deeply, my eyes closed, before I sighed and opened my eyes, feeling no emotion what so ever.
"Don't come looking for me. I don't want to be found" I said shrugging on my jacket as I walked down the stairs.
"You're not really going with that idiot are you?" Caroline said.
"Of course I am Barbie Doll" I said before turning the knob on the front door.
"Don't do this. Bonnie can find a way right Bonnie?" Elena said looking to Bonnie.
"Yeah. I can and everything will be fine! Just do not go" Bonnie said coming up to me.
"Talk to your brother... I'm sure he will tell you everything" I said looking to a silent Jeremy before waving my fingers at everyone, speeding out soon after.
"So you decided to come! Marvelous" Klaus said standing in front of the fireplace.
"Of course. Just cure me and I'll be fun... er" I said crossing my arms over my chest.
"Not so fast sweetheart" he said coming to face me.
I groaned before he said, "How do I know that you'll hold up your end of the deal?"
"I'm here aren't I?" I said annoyed.
"All this shows is your ability to walk some where. You will travel with me then I will think about curing you. Understand?" He said cupping my chin.
"I understand" I said flatly before pulling my face away from his hand.
"Where to first?" I said grabbing the bottle of Bourbon, taking a few sips as I waited for him to speak.
"I was thinking.... Tennessee?" He said smirking.
"Let's go then" I said walking out, not bothering to wait for him.
"Let he chaos begin" Klaus said as we both hopped into his car.
