Mason jerked at the chains again trying to get free, but the wolfsbane had weakened him. He couldn't die here, he had to get out of here, because he had too much to live for. He might hate being a werewolf, but he had Jenna, she meant everything and with her it was bearable. "Don't, she lied to you," he wasn't with Katherine, he knew who she was, but he would never cheat on Jenna. He didn't know if he could take another hot poker in his side. It felt like being near a fire, except it was on the inside of him.

"Why should I believe you?" Damon asked, "Why should I even care about what you want?" He asked before shoving the wolfsbane into Mason's mouth, offering him food.

Mason spit it out of his mouth along with blood about choking. "She'll never forgive you if you kill me," Mason said, he had to use everything that he knew, anything that would get him out of here and back to the woman he loved. "You kill me and you'll never have any chance with Elena," he saw the way the vampire looked at Jenna's niece.

Elena might be dating Stefan, but Damon was the one pinning after her. It wasn't like he hid it that well, Jenna didn't like it either, but wasn't much he could do about it. He was already in the hot seat and it was pretty much literal.

"Elena doesn't give a damn about you," Damon said, of course he had left out that he'd planned on torturing Mason. He'd said a talk, but there was no way he was going let him walk out of here.

He'd told Liz that he was a vampire, he'd exposed them and he was going to pay. She had told him not to hurt him, but it was their lives or his. Kill or be killed, and if a werewolf bite could kill he wasn't risking Mason killing him.

He started calling off everything that Mason had done since he'd gotten to town. He wasn't counting the fact he had poked the bear, or rather wolf first. He'd stabbed Mason with a silver knife, but it hadn't hurt him at all. Damn the werewolves for starting the silver rumor he thought going to the fire place again.

Mason groaned closing his eyes feeling the fire hot rod going into his chest; it was just inches from his heart. Somebody had to show up, there had to be somebody that could save him. He had to get out of here, get back to Jenna and tell her the other reason he had come back. He missed being with her, the mornings they'd go down to the beach and watch the sunrise. The sunset walks or boat rides they'd take together.

He had wanted to come when she had after Miranda and Grayson died, but he had triggered the curse. He didn't know what it meant and he couldn't put her in danger back then. He had visited her though at the college some weekends or at their families lake houses. The last time had been in December at the beach house his family owned in South Carolina.

"You said you would never let anybody hurt Lily," Mason said, he had to try; it was the last resort, "Would you leave her without her dad? Are you going to do that to her? She's only five months old, kill me and Elena will never trust you again,"

Damon bared his fangs getting in Mason's face, "You're lying," he looked into his eyes trying to find the lie there, but all he saw was the truth. He couldn't believe that it was true. Damon was pissed; he wanted to punch the hell out of something. How could Lily be this werewolf's child? He hissed before moving the last inch sinking his teeth into Mason's neck. He didn't care that he was already loosing blood; he wanted to inflict as much pain as he could if he couldn't kill him.

He shoved Mason back knocking him backwards again, once he had taken all he could without killing Mason. Damon walked out of the room punching the wall not giving a damn. He'd planned on killing him, putting him out of his misery, but he wasn't going to leave Lily without him. He sent a text message to Ric; he was too pissed to go back in there. He'd probably finish the job and that wasn't going to be good.

Mason was glad when he finally passed out, he couldn't take the pain anymore. He just hoped that he woke up again because he couldn't leave his girls. Katherine had done her best to get him to do what she wanted. He had told her to go to hell last year, she was the reason he was like this. He wanted nothing to do with her.

He had just wanted to come here to be with his wife and daughter. That couldn't have been too much to ask for and life owed him for the hell it put him through. He had to stick around for Tyler too; he couldn't let his nephew go through this. He felt sick every month and the wolfsbane only weakened him, it didn't make the pain any more bearable.

Jenna woke up hearing her daughter crying sometime in the morning. She'd fallen asleep waiting on Mason, but he'd left a text saying sorry he'd be late. Little did she know it was Damon using Mason's phone. She got up going upstairs to get Lily her from the crib. She had been keeping it a secret that she knew about the vampires in town. Mason had told her about the truth of the town the year before. He hadn't believed it his self until he triggered the curse his family carried.

They didn't know if Lily had gotten it as well and they hoped to never find out. She had met him in December the weekend of the full moon. She'd wanted to see him and it had been the third time he'd seen Lily. It wasn't an easy decision for them living apart, but it was the only choice they had. However, he could stay now with his brother being dead, he wouldn't have to worry about anything.

Jenna sat down in the rocking' chair once she had Lily and a bottle for her daughter. She knew all of the cries her daughter would let out and she'd done taught Mason all of them. She didn't know how she did it most days take care of her sister's kids and her little girl, plus going to school. She was sure at times it was having the phone calls with Mason. He could make her happy just hearing his voice on her worst days.

It was already after two in the morning and she was starting to worry about Mason. She watched as their daughter drank her late night meal. She was glad that Mason would be here to watch Lily as she started crawling, walking, talking and all the other things kids did. "You're daddy and us are going to be a family finally," Jenna said smiling down at the little girl.

Lily had her mom's hair, her dad's eyes and they both debated over what else she had from them. She just hoped that Katherine didn't do anything to destroy those plans. The vampire was trying everything to do just that, she'd already triggered Mason's curse, now she was back here planning only god knew what.

Lily finished her bottle and after giving her mom a nice burp, Jenna put her back in the crib. She'd checked her diaper to make sure she didn't need to be changed. Once she was happy she left the room going downstairs. She wasn't sure if she would be safer or worse off if she didn't know about any of the supernatural stuff. Then again, she more than likely wouldn't have Mason or her little girl.

She wouldn't trade anything in the world for them; he'd been her best friend since they were little. He'd been right beside her through her experimental and parting days. He was the one that had introduced her really because he'd given her the bottle of whiskey after her heart had been broken.

Life without her best friend wouldn't be the same. She had run off from here when Logan had cheated on her with that bitch Monica. She hadn't stopped driving until she had gotten to Mason's house in Florida. She wanted to remember what it was like to be loved; she found that and more there with him.

They had made Lily together and she hoped maybe one day they could have a little boy. She wanted him to look just like her husband and to be just as care free. That was the one thing about Mason she loved. He didn't give a damn what people thought of him. He would go anywhere to just surf if he really wanted to. The year before they had gone to Hawaii for a vacation and he'd surfed in one of the competitions there.

She let out a sigh sitting down on the couch turning the TV on to some station that looked good. She dropped the remote and closed her eyes listening to some rock music that she loved. Life was going to be better with Mason here and once he was home she wouldn't be so worried. She drifted off to sleep thinking about the times they spent together.

He'd proposed to her one night out of the blue when they had just been hanging with some friends. She had gone to the bathroom and when she came back he'd been up on on the karaoke stage. She thought he was going to sing a song, but he'd started talking and she knew before he had gotten half way through what was going on. She'd been in tears before he was done and the place was clapping she could hardly hear her own self when she said yes.
