Vampire Diaries Chronicles Part Two
As requested, when it was Amelia’s turn to go up to sing, there was a single shotglass of whiskey waiting for her.
It was not only the few spectators, including Damon, Elena, Stefan, and Bonnie, who were puzzled and curious at the same time about the whiskey, but also the technician who was responsible for recording the session.
Vampire hearing was not necessary to utilize, since all of them were in earshot to hear Kara explain, "Watch. It's the coolest thing."
As the band started to warm up and tune their insturments, Amelia walked over to the table where the whiskey was and drank it down, Damon noticed, with her eyes closed as she waited for the burning sensation to subside.
The first few intro strains of "I Wanna Come Over' were heard and then she started singing, in a voice that uncannily had the same low earthy tone as Melissa Etheridge.
I know you're home
You left your light on
You know I'm here
The night is thin
I know you're alone
I watched the car leave
Your lover is gone
Let me in
Open your back door
I just need to touch you once more
I want to come over
To hell with the consequence
You told me you loved me
That's all I believe
I want to come over
It's a need I can't explain
To see you again
I want to come over
She couldn't tell if it was the whiskey, or if was just Damon, but her whole body was beginning to vibrate. She had to take a deep breath, feeling his blue eyes were looking into her again.
I know your friend
You told her about me
She filled you with fear
Some kind of sin
How can you turn
Denying the fire
Lover I burn
Let me in
Open your back door
I just need to touch you once more
I want to come over
To hell with the consequence
You told me you loved me
That's all I believe
I want to come over
It's a need I can't explain
To see you again
I want to come over
She slowly opened her eyes to take in the rapt audience. She waited for the necessary drum beats before she started to sing the last verse.
I know you're confused
I know that you're shaken
You think we'll be lost
Once we begin
I know you're weak
I know that you want me
Lover don't speak
Let me in
Her heart pounded in her ears as she waited the necessary few beats before belting
I want to come over
To hell with the consequence
You told me you loved me
That's all I believe
I want to come over
It's a need I can't explain
To see you again
I want to come over
The technician cued up the tape for Amelia's second Melissa Etheridge song, as all of the girls on stage took sips from their respective drikns and then Amelia removed her sweater. The crowd was getting a little bigger now, and a few people recognized "I'm the Only One" before she even started singing. However, it was only the girls--and by the second verse, Damon and co- who realized Amelia was basically venting.
Please baby can't you see
My mind's a burnin' hell
I got razors a rippin' and tearin' and strippin'
My heart apart as well
Tonight you told me
That you ache for something new
And some other woman is lookin' like something
That might be good for you
Go on and hold her till the screaming is gone
Go on believe her when she tells you
Nothing's wrong
But I'm the only one
Who'll walk across the fire for you
I'm the only one
Who'll drown in my desire for you
It's only fear that makes you run
The demons that you're hiding from
When all your promises are gone
I'm the only one
Please baby can't you see
I'm trying to explain
I've been here before and I'm locking the door
And I'm not going back again
Her eyes and arms and skin won't make
It go away
You'll wake up tomorrow and wrestle the sorrow
That holds you down today
Go on and hold her till the screaming is gone
Go on believe her when she tells you
Nothing's wrong
But I'm the only one
Who'll walk across the fire for you
I'm the only one
Who'll drown in my desire for you
It's only fear that makes you run
The demons that you're hiding from
When all your promises are gone
I'm the only one
By the end of the song, to her chagrin, a few tears had escaped her eyes. She quickly wiped her face , replaced the mic on its stand, and disappeared into the bathroom to wash up.
