“Okay, explain me one thing. How come I can walk into the sun without being burned?”
Amber and Stefan were walking in the woods of Mystic Falls. The moment Amber had fed on Derek the hunger and fear faded and her body was filled with power. She loved the feeling.
“It’s because of your bracelet” Stefan answered. Amber looked at the bracelet on her wrist. “My bracelet? What does it have to do with me being able to walk in the sun?” “There’s a spell on it” Stefan explained. “For a vampire to walk into the sun they need something a witch put a spell on so they can walk outside during the day. I compelled your boyfriend to give you the bewitched necklace, because only then you’d have no suspicion”
Amber scratched her hair. “Ehm…did you…compel him to hang himself?” she stammered. Stefan stopped and turned at Amber. “No. Vampires are rarely to trust, but I swear I had no hand in his death” He walked on. He heard no footsteps behind him and therefore held his steps again. He turned around, seeing Amber standing still. He flashed to her. “What?” “If you didn’t do it, then it must’ve been that other man. The British one?” Amber said. Stefan nodded. “Klaus. He’s dangerous” “Yeah, I figured” Amber said obvious. “I mean, for us, vampires. He’s not just a vampire. He’s a werewolf as well and a bite from a werewolf can kill a vampire. Which is why I’m here with you in the first place” Stefan said.
“I don’t get that” Amber said.
“My brother got bitten by a werewolf. He would’ve died if I hadn’t find a cure, which is Klaus’ blood, by the way. But to return the favor I have to stick with him for ten years” Stefan ended. Amber whistled. “Wow. You must really care for your brother. I mean, by being the hero you’ve turned into a villain” “I guess you could say that” “Is he cute?” Amber asked like only a teenage girl could. Stefan shook his head confused. “Your brother, is he cute?” Amber clarified her previous question. “You kind of are and I thought maybe it runs in the family” Stefan sniffed. “Damon’s a heartbreaker” “Ooh, Damon, huh? Heartbreaker, you say? He’s had many girls and slept with them, dumped them the day after? Why do you care?” Amber asked. “Because he’s having a crush on my girlfriend and it’s serious. He thinks I’m an idiot and that I can’t put one and one together. It reassures me, because I know he’d do anything to protect her. But it terrifies me as well, because I don’t know if my relationship with Elena is strong enough to survive this” Stefan said depressed. “And I think that deep inside Damon believes he deserves Elena. Because Katherine chose me over him”
“So, you’re saying both times Damon fell in love with a woman she chose you? Well, that would piss me off. It must’ve broken his heart” Amber said full of compassion. “Who’s Katherine?”
“Katherine is the vampire that turned me and Damon and she is Elena’s ancestor. Don’t freak out when you see both of them, because they look identical. We both loved her, but Damon was the one that was torn up inside for 145 years when he thought she was dead” Stefan explained.
“145 years? Your brother mourned for 145 years?” Amber asked shocked. Stefan nodded. “He lost his humanity, but he’s getting it back…because of Elena” he said. He looked at Amber. “Have you heard everything I said?” Amber nodded fiercely. “Good, keep it in mind, you’re going to need it”
