The Eldest Gilbert (1-2) •DISCONTINUED•

Children of the Damned

I open my eyes letting the sun from my open window shine on my face. I turn around jumping out of bed. I grab my book throwing it at Damon. "Damon what the hell?" He stands up and walks over to me. "Come with me. You want me out of town so bad for breaking your heart so come with me." I groan throwing on sweat pants and a tank top. He looks me up and down. "Damon stop." He looks back at me with regret filled eyes. "Look I never ment to hurt you. When I saw you I just wanted to help. I never ment for anything to happen because Katherine is my first love and I still love her." I nod my head understanding everything. "Its whatever Damon. I understand that you love Katherine and you never stopped. But answer me this. Why spend all that time with me. Why show me the man behind that mask. Why let me in when you loved another woman?" I ask. He opens his mouth to say something. Anything but nothing comes out. I step closer. "Exactly." I touch his face gently as he closes his eyes. I sigh and pull away. "We need to get going so we can get you out if town with your one true love." He frowns slightly but nods his head. We walk downstairs going to his car. We sit in silence as we get to his house. We pull up and walk upstairs to Stefans room where him and Elena are sleeping. We sit on the edge when they start waking up. Elena opens her eyes snuggling into Stefan. "Mmm. Good morning." "I could get use to this." I silently gag at there cuteness. Damon finally speaks up. "Rise and shine sleepy heads." They jump up looking at me and Damon. "What are yall doing?" Stefan ask irritated. I roll my eyes. "Oh stop being smutty." "Seriously get out." "If I see something I haven't seen before i'll throw a dollar at it." I stand up. "Now listen we have some serious business to discuss. Well now we have lots to do now that we are all friends, working towards a common goal." I watch in anger as I realize what goal we are workinv towards. Stefan amd Elena look at each other as Damon continues talking. "So in order to open the tomb." I interpret Damon. "Damon you can't trust them." Damon rolls his eyes. "Look Amelia I know that yall don't get along." I groan frustrated. "Damon don't you understand. I heard them talking last night. Damon Stefan never planned to help you. They don't want you to have Katherine." Damon vamp speeds me against a wall. "Now now Amelia. Its not nice to make up rumors. Your just saying this so I will stay with you." I roll my eyes. "Really Damon? You truly believe that I would want you with me? Damon Katherine makes you happy. If your happy thats all I care about. I don't give too shits on who its with. Yea it hurts knowing that you don't like me like that but I want you happy. They don't think you deserve to be happy." I plead trying to get him to trust me. He looks at Elena and Stefan. "Is this true?" I roll my eyes using ever bit of strength that I have to push him away. "Listen here Damon. Your going to realize that they aren't on your side. They never will be. Me on the other hand would be there for you. Im not helping any more. You think that im making this up. Have fun when they stab you in the back." I turn away going out of the room tears now running down my face. I get outside walking to the cemetery. I find my parents graves and sit next to them. "Im sorry mom, dad." I stand up walking back home. I go into the kitchen and see Jenna. "Can I take the car?" She nods her head throwing me the keys. I catch them going outside amd driving to the high school. I pull up to see Alaric getting out of his car. He sees me and calls me over. "Hey Amelia would you help me grade the papers?" I lock the car jogging over to him. "Sure." We go inside and get to his class room. He puts on music as we grade the papers.

I get done with my stack. "Okay I will be back." He nods his head as I leave the classroom going to the restroom. I use it and go back into the hall way when I see Alaric with a gun type thing shooting into his room. I run when I here stuff fall. I get in his classroom seeing Stefan. "Stefan what the hell are you doing here?" I ask furious. He glares at me. "I could ask you the same. What did you tell him about us?" I roll my eyes. "No I didn't. Now leave." He shakes his head. "Sit." I stomp over to a desk sitting on it. He turns to Alaric holding the gun in his hand. "What is this? Compressed air. Did you make it your self?" He doesn't answer. "Who are you?" I roll my eye and say sarcastically. "Your history teacher. Duh." Stefan rolls his eyes and grabs me by the throat. I choke out. "Better be careful Stefan your evil side is showing. What would Elena think." He lets go of my throat stepping back looking at Alaric. "Now who are you?" He sits on a desk. "Im a teacher." "Are we going to have to do this the hard way?" I roll my eyea tapping on Alarics shoulder. "Don't worry he wont kill or hurt you badly. Only because Elena would get mad at him." I smirk at Stefan as he grabs a pencil and sticks it through my hand. I scream in pain. "Oh come on Stefan is that the best you got?" He rolls his eyes sitting back down in front of Alaric. "Im also a historian. An while researching Virginia. I came across a few discovery's about this town." I zone them out trying to get the pencil out my hand whem I feel my hand being pulled away and another pencil through that one. I look up and smirk at Stefan. "Kinky are we?" He rolls his eyes. I close my eyes ignoring them as I plot Stefans murder. I come back from me revenge as I feel both pencils being removed. "Leave Amelia." I smirk and walk out of the room as I run to the restroom and grab paper towels as I wrap them around my hands to stop the bleeding. I go out to Jennas car as I see Damons blue car here. I groan knowimg that as soon as I go inside he will smell the blood. I take the keys and walk inside. I hear Jenna and Damon talking when Jenna says. "You've been gone a while." I walk into the kitchen tossing Jenna the keys and sticking my hands in my pockets. Damon looks over at me as I walk out of the room going to my room. I shut the door going to my closet bringing out the first-aid kit. I turn around seeing Damon. I roll my eyes moving to my bed as he grabs my hands unwrapping the towel. "Who did this?" I stay quiet knowimg he wont believe me. "Who did this Amelia." I glare at him pulling my hands away. "Doesn't matter Damon. Leave." He goes to say something but gets interrupted by Jenna. "Damon don't forget about the food down here." He nods his head looking me in the eyes as he leaves my room. I shut the door behind him sliding down it while tears run down my face. I quickly wipe them away and find string and a sewing needle in my kit. I quickly stitch my hands up. I put the stuff up and wash the blood away from my hands. I sit on my bed as I lay down thinking about how im going to kill Stefan and get rid of the compulsion. I fall in a deep sleep.

I open my eyes to see Damon pushing my hair out of the way. I whisper sleepily. "Damon why are you here?" He smiles softly at me. "You were right. She had me fooled." A tear slides dowm his face. I wipe it away and scoot over not caring at how mad I am at him. He lays down beside me. "I know that I have zero right to ask you this but will you help me?" I smile sadly at him. "Sure." I close my eyes going back to sleep when Damon says. "I showed you the man behind the mask because you are different. I let you in because I care. They way I feel about you is different then the way I feel about Katherine." I feel him kiss my forehead as I fall back into sleep.
