Mason Lockwood was dead. Everyone believed that. I mean what else could he be when Damon brutally tortured him then ripped his heart out with no remorse? Sure he came back in ghost form once but so did the tomb vampires, Lexi, Anna and Pearl. No one believed they'd ever see him again. Though no one actually cared- Mason was a dick. Katherine used and abused him. Carol was high on pharmaceuticals. Tyler had already mourned him. Richard was long dead. His wolf pack was dead. Who the hell cared about Mason Lockwood anymore, who gave a damn? No one; but that was all about to change when they realize just what will happen in the near future….It'll be what they least expect…
- September 14, 2011 -
"So tell us again exactly what happened?" Damon asked annoyed as he downed another glass of some of his strongest brand on bourbon.
"I was doing the spell when all of a sudden I was thrown back and the witches gave me a message- that I would pay and suffer for using my gift for selfish reasons." Bonnie repeated for what seemed like the billionth time.
"And what exactly does that have to do with us?" Alaric asked curiously
"They said this choice will affect someone near to me and will change our life." She explained to the group. "It will be some type of strong being that won't exactly have a goal in mind that will harm us, but to change us."
"We killed Klaus and had you and Lucy perform a spell to keep the originals daggered for all of eternity, what else could we possibly have left to deal with?" Damon asked pissed. What was with this town? It was a fucking trouble magnet; a supernatural hot spot. All it brought was annoyance, death and misery.
"I don't know Damon, that's all they said!" She snapped bitterly though deep down she was scared. What if this was stronger than Klaus, would if this would finally kill them all? What if this was the biggest threat yet and they couldn't beat it this time? Then what?
"Don't get smart with me witch," Damon sneered irritated. "This is your fault; if you weren't so busy playing Sabrina the Teenage Witch then maybe, just maybe we wouldn't be in this mess!"
"Look guys, fighting isn't going to solve anything." Stefan said cautiously as he ran a comforting hand up Elena's back who smiled gratefully at him.
"Shut up Stefan!" Damon said infuriated. He was so sick oh him and his 'I make stupid plans and eat bunnies' do-gooder shit.
"Listen Mr. I love hair gel, I don't fucking have time for this shit anymore," Damon rolled his eyes annoyed with the crap that seemed to just continued to pile up endlessly.
"You know what, the witch bitches said that it won't be out to kill us so we should all just chill." Damon said before he shuddered "I need to stop hanging out with Jeremy 'Stoner' Gilbert. Chill?" The majority of the group laughed besides the buzz kills crew along with said Gilbert.
"Anyway I need to get away, so I'll see you all in a month." Damon smirked before turning ready to go to up the stairs to pack.
"Wait, what are you talking about? We need a plan Damon." Bonnie argued.
Damon rolled his eyes before turning back around to face the judgy little witch, "No Sabrina we don't if they mean us no harm. And no one ever listens to me anyway and you guys come up with shit plans anyway, so why would I stick around to watch?"
"Damon come on, you have to stay. We need you." Elena pleaded looking at him with her Bambi doe eyes that usually had him caving like the weak vampire he'd become since he started catering to Elena's every beck and call.
"There goes that better mean shit again," Damon laughed "No I'm doing what I want for once Elena." He shook his head.
Without waiting for a response Damon quickly turned on his heel and in a blink of an eye was gone from their sight. He vampire sped around his room grabbing any clothes needed, toiletries, books etc. Once his suit case was zipped up he threw on his leather jacket grabbed his suit case and keys and high tailed down stairs, determined to leave Mystic Falls- at least for a little while.
"You're actually serious, you're just gonna leave when there's obviously a threat out there?" Stefan asked incredulously, as if it were the stupidest thing into the world.
Damon rolled his eyes but kept going to the door anyway; Mystery Inc. would not stop him from doing what he pleased this time, "Yes Stefan, I am."
Damon smirked once more and mockingly waved before going to his car and loading his bags in the back seat. He cranked the stereo with classic rock music and smirked at the group who had gathered on the drive way. He winked once and waved once more and sped off into the night determined to get the hell out of dodge.
"Is he out of his fucking mind?" Bonnie swore annoyed that they'd be losing their best fighter for an entire month.
"He just doesn't wanna be here right now Bonnie; can you blame him?" Alaric rolled his eyes at the witch.
What the hell did this petite teenager know about love, feelings and life? She was a little girl who had far too much power and responsibility for her age and she seriously needed to come down a peg…or 10. Alaric could understand Damon's frustration as he saw how he was constantly blamed for things he simply had nothing to do with; he got it- Damon was sick of being their punching bag plain and simple.
"Whatever, if he dies it's not like I'll be too broken up about it." She shrugged before going back into the house.
Everyone except Alaric followed after her; he instead made sure he had everything he brought with him in his pockets and quickly hopped in his car before he said something to Bonnie he'd regret…not likely but caution was needed. Alaric was beginning to like the group less and less. Judgy little humans they were; including Stefan seeming as he loved to play it so much.
Mason woke up in the Lockwood cellar in the cloths he'd worn the day he died. He blinked as he realized something key; he wasn't a ghost or a corporeal ghost at that. He was alive. He blinked at the realization and smirked when he thought of the things he could do now with the biggest element f surprise; coming back from the dead.
He stood up and dusted himself off glad that he wasn't dirty and bloody like he was when he died or when Damon had dropped him on the ground various times when he took him into the forest to decompose.
Wait a second… this was Damon's fault! That arrogant little prick! Mason was not nearly satisfied at the small torture he'd done to him when he was a ghost; it wasn't even close to satisfying. But he was back now and better than ever with only one goal in mind- show Damon Salvatore who the alpha male was.
A/N: Short but keep in mind that it's just a Prologue, I have the next chapter written but I want at least 3 reviews for it to be posted. And trust me when I say it's a HOT chapter! So REVIEW!
