Demon Wolf

Chapter 1: Masquerade

Appalachian Mountains

A 400 year old male vampire by the name of Alphonse Sylvester was desperately running through the forest of Yosemite, desperately trying to escape his pursuer. Now, one might ask why a vampire ws trying to run away from something. After all, they had superhuman strength, could move so fast they appear as blurs to humans, could compel humans to do their bidding, and heal from most injuries in an instant.

Alphonse was the son of the leader of a Mafia which was run by Vampires from behind the scenes. Him and his girlfriend were turned back 380 years ago, and they owned the underworld in Rome and plans were being made to branch out into other cities as well, but Alphonse, his father, his mother, and his girlfriend needed a break from the planning, so they came to America to tour the sites and relax. They were touring Yosemite National Park when something came after them.

Alphonse in his panicked mind remembered it clearly. They were walking through the forest and all they heard was a low growl before a blur passed them and his mother and father gripping the painful bite wounds on their legs when their skin started turning black and they desiccated, dying within seconds. His girlfriend was then pounced on by a gray furred Northern Timberwolf with searing crimson eyes and was then promptly mauled and bitten, the wolfs venom poisoning her undead body, turning her skin pitch black and causing the veins to dry up as she died for a final time. Alphonse then knew what it was that was hunting them.

A werewolf.

He rushed at his top vamp speed, desperate to get away. He made it to a clearing of geysers when he was suddenly thrown into a tree, a branch going through his lung. He groaned as he tried to push himself off the branch. The wolf then blurred up to him and tackled him, before biting his throat out as the vampires screams faded as the werewolf's poison killed him in an instant, turning his skin black and causing his body to desiccate. The werewolf then blurred away before coming back a couple minutes later with the other three bodies and tossing them onto one another.

The wolf then hunched it's back and shifted back into human form, revealing a 17 year old young man with three whisker marks on each cheek, spiky golden blonde hair, and cold steel blue eyes. He stood at 5' 11", was shirtless, revealing the 6 pack-abs and powerful ripped physique his shirt normally covers up. He was wearing a pair of black jeans, black belt, black socks and black Frye Harness boots.

He wiped the blood off his lips and scoffed, "Can't leave them lying out here." He said and threw a match and ignited the whole bunch of them, watching their bodies burn before he walked back to his 2010 Harley Davidson Iron 883 and threw on his gray Henley and black leather jacket.

"I wonder how Mystic Falls has been. It's been four years since I've been back." He wondered as he looked at his phone and saw his girlfriend had gotten his message he had sent before he started hunting these vampires and smiled before he revved up his engine and sped off into the night.

Mystic Falls

2 days later

Salvatore Boarding House

Caroline is sitting on the couch. Damon gives her a glass of blood.

"Here." He says.

"I'm still shaking." Caroline shivered as she brought it up to her lips and drinks some.

"What happened?" Stefan asks as he walked into the living room.

"Go ahead, tell him." Damon says before turning to Stefan, "You're gonna love this."

"I saw Katherine today." Caroline said.

"Where?" Stefan asked as he got over his shock.

Caroline answers, "At the Grill. I just stopped by to gawk and...quasi-stalk Matt."

Flashback

Mystic Grill

Caroline was just standing at the entrance looking at Matt. Matt sees her and walks over.

"Do you need a table?"

"No, I'm not staying. I just needed to use the little girls' room." She said as she rushed over to the bathroom.

Caroline opened the door and walked in. She was washing her hands when Katherine arrived behind her. She poses as Elena.

"Elena?" Caroline asks.

"Hey, I saw you with Matt, are you okay?" Katherine asks, posing fake concern.

"Yeah, you know...whatever." said Caroline as she realized that it was Katherine and not Elena. She tries to vamp speed past Katherine, but Katherine grabs her and pulls her back.

"You're good." Katherine complimented, "What gave me away? Was it the hair? Or was it my clothes?"

"I know Elena is...I know Elena's at home." Caroline said.

"I need you to deliver a message." Katherine said, "Tell Damon and Stefan that I want the moonstone or I will rip this town apart until it rains blood. Tonight, at the Lockwoods masquerade ball."

What neither of the two vampires noticed was a spiky haired blonde wearing all black clothing and sitting at the bar while having a burger. Thanks to his superhearing, he frowned as the girl he had once crushed on after he and Elena broke up was now the very thing he lived to hunt.

Flashback end

"She wants to do it in public. Killing Mason threw her off guard." Stefan said.

Damon scoffs and says, "She's running scared. What she did to Jenna was desperate. She's out of tricks."

Stefan shakes his head and says, "We can't underestimate her. We have to play this smarter than her."

"Can we just give her the moonstone so she'll leave?" Caroline offered as she honestly didn't see why it was so important.

"No, Katherine's not getting dick. I've had it. I'm gonna go to the masquerade ball and I'm gonna kill her, tonight." Damon says.

"You're not gonna kill her." Stefan says.

"Don't give me that goody-goody crap." Damon scoffs.

"You're not gonna kill her." Stefan repeats.

"Really?" Damon asks.

"Because I am." Stefan reveals.

Gilbert Residence

Jenna is coming home from the hospital after Katherine made her stab herself. Jeremy, Matt and Elena are helping her.

"Easy." Matt says before he turns Jeremy, "Grab the door Jer."

While he does this, Jenna complains about all attention. "Hey, stop fussing, I'm fine."

"The doctors said that you have to take it easy." Elena reminded.

Jeremy chimed in with a not-so-helpful comment, "Yeah, you don't want to rip your stitches, hemorrhage and die, alright?"

"Yeah, the only thing I'm gonna die from is embarrassment." Jenna laughed while Matt tried to reassure her by saying, "No".

"I walked into a knife. How does somebody do that?" Jenna asked as she still couldn't wrap her head around that.

"It was a freak accident." Elena says.

"It happens." Jeremy adds.

Matt adds his own two cents with a joke, "Yeah, I mean I've done it like twenty times at the Grill."

Jenna laughs, then winces in pain because of the wounds.

"Okay, I should probably not joke right now," Matt says as they put her on the couch.

"What should I do with this?" Matt asks as he picks up a bag of food.

"I got it." Elena said as she takes the bag and puts it in the kitchen as Jeremy follows her.

"So what are we gonna do?" Jeremy asks, wanting to make Katherine pay for what she did to Jenna.

"Make lunch." Elena said, as if that was obvious.

"No, about Katherine." Jeremy clarifies and Elena sighs and looks at him.

"We're not gonna do anything, Jeremy." Elena said.

"She tried to kill Jenna. We can't let her get away with that." Jeremy retorted, not liking his sister's answer.

"Yes we can. If it keeps us safe then we can." Elena insisted.

"And what if she tries something else?" Jeremy asks.

"She won't. Katherine hurt Jenna because I didn't do what she said. I'm not doing it now, me and Stefan are over. She wins, the end." Elena sighs in defeat.

"You are being naïve and you know it." Jeremy tells her, thinking it foolish to trust the word of the vampire that is their enemy. He started walking toward the door.

"Where are you going?" Elena demands.

"Out. I'll be back." Jeremy says.

Katherine's Room

Katherine enters the bedroom where she was staying. She's carrying a shopping bag. Mrs. Flowers is helping her.

"Where should I put these?" The compelled Mrs. Flowers asks, referring to Katherine's stuff.

"Right there. Thank you, Mrs. Flowers. You've been such a wonderful help. "

"Oh, it's my pleasure dear. Let me know if there's anything else I can do." Mrs. Flowers gushes.

"I will", Katherine assures her.

Katherine took out a dress from one of the bags. Katherine realized after sensing something that she was not alone and vamp sped the trespasser over to the wall.

"Oh, Kat, chill." Said Lucy Bennet, a distant relative of Bonnie's and a witch that owed Katherine her life.

Katherine let her go and smirked, "Don't sneak up on a vampire,"

"Don't attack a witch." Lucy retorts before smiling, "It's good to see you girl."

The two of them shared a hug.

"I'm glad you made it." Katherine said.

"You called, I came." Lucy said.

"Like you had a choice." Katherine said with a scoff.

"Don't get all boss lady on me. You know I love you." Lucy teased before she pulled out one of the masks from the bag, "Now, where does one wear this?" She knew, of course, but she was just making conversation.

"To a masquerade ball. Tonight." Katherine said.

"You need a plus one?" Lucy asked and Katherine nodded her head.

"Sure but I need you mostly incase the Salvatore's try something, and knowing them, they will. I'm not going in there without a plan B." Katherine said.

Salvatore Boarding House

Caroline opens the front door and see's Bonnie. "Hey, come on in." Caroline says.

"I got Stefan's message." Bonnie said as she walked in with her grimoire.

"Hey, you brought the grimoire, thank you." Stefan thanks her.

She saw Damon and Alaric talking and that there are a lot a weapons on the table. Bonnie asks, "What's going on?"

At that point, Jeremy walked in. He says, "We're gonna kill Katherine."

Bonnie looks to Stefan for some kind of explanation and he says, "I can explain."

"Please do." Bonnie pleads.

Stefan thinks for a moment but can't really come up with a better way to say it, so he just repeats what Jeremy said, "We're gonna kill Katherine."

Meanwhile, Alaric shows his weapons to everybody. "This works with compressed air. The trigger mechanism is up here. I have two of these in a different size. For you I recommend this. It fits nicely under the jacket sleeve. You use the trigger when you're ready." He fakes killing a vampire while Damon and Stefan look at each other.

"You wanted me to show you how to kill a vampire." Alaric reminds them.

After Alaric's demonstration, Bonnie pulls Stefan aside to talk to him. "I know you love Elena and you want to be with her but it's risky. Too many people could get hurt," She tells him.

"Look, I want Elena back, yes but it's more than that. What Katherine did to Jenna, it crossed the line. She has to be stopped before it happens again." Stefan explained.

"I don't know, Stefan." Bonnie said, unsure about the whole thing.

"Katherine knows me, right? She knows that I'm not gonna try something in a crowd full of innocent people so that gives me an edge. I could catch her by surprise." Stefan said.

Bonnie thought for a moment before she offered, "I could do a spell to trap her, like the tomb spell."

Stefan liked this idea and pleaded with her, "Right. We can isolate her, away from the others. Please Bonnie."

She finally relented and said "Okay."

Gilbert Residence

Elena and Matt were talking and Matt was getting ready to leave.

"You're welcome to hang out. Alaric's coming over. It's gonna be pizza and bad TV." She offered Matt with a smile.

"I'd love to but I'm going to the masquerade party at the Lockwoods, aren't you?" Matt asked.

"Uh, no...not with what's going on with me and Stefan." Elena explained sadly.

"I've got to go, there's something I got to do." Matt said robotically.

"What's that?" Elena asked before Matt Sobered up.

"Just something, I can't talk about it but I've got to go." He said.

"Okay. Well, have fun." Elena said.

"Yeah. Me and a suit." He joked.

Elena smiled and complimented, "You look good in a suit."

"You and Stefan will work it out." Matt said.

"I don't think so, Matt. There's so much about me and Stefan that'll never work." Elena said in defeat.

"You know I'm here for you always." Matt says. They hug but then the door bell rings.

"Wonder who that is?" Elena said as she opened the door and she was shocked at what she say. Standing there, was Naruto dressed in a dark gray v-neck t-shirt under a black Andrew Marc Lenox Faux Shearling Pilot Jacket. He also wore black jeans, and black Cole Haan Ripley Grand Leather Chukka Boot's was Naruto.

"Well, this is awkward." Naruto said sheepishly. "I fear I may have interrupted something."

"N-Naruto," Elena stared at her first boyfriend in shock, "Is that really you?"

"Yes, Elena. It is me. I'm back." Naruto said and Elena joyfully gave him a big hug while Matt looked on with a smile as his old friend from gradeschool had finally returned.

Salvatore Boarding House

While Elena and Matt reunited with an old friend, the rest of the Mystic Falls Gang was going over the plan to kill Katherine.

"Are you sure you guys don't want me there tonight?" Alaric asks.

"No, I need you to stay with Elena. I don't want her to know about this." Stefan requests of him.

"Okay. Well, I'll make sure she doesn't leave my sight." Alaric resolved.

"Alright, if anybody wants to back out, I'll understand."

"Yeah. Cold feet speak now. I don't want this going wrong if someone chicken's out. Caroline." Damon says as he looks at her pointedly.

"I won't. Look, she killed me. Fair's fair. As long as there's no werewolf running around." Caroline said.

"Oh, I took care of Mason." Damon says with a smirk.

"As long as Tyler doesn't kill anyone, he won't turn." Jeremy added.

"Bonnie? Are you with us?" Stefan asks her.

She nodded after a moment and said, "No one gets hurt."

"Except Katherine. Tonight Katherine gets a stake through her heart." Damon said and nobody really voiced any objection at that.

Lockwood Mansion

At the masquerade ball, everyone was wearing masks and enjoying the party. Tyler was in his father's office. Carol soon walks in and joins him.

"It's already packed out there. You know, we need to keep that door shut. Your father would be very unhappy if I let guests in here." Caro says as Tyler gets up and he's in a suit. "Oh, look at you! So handsome."

"Thanks. You look pretty good too mom." He compliments.

"Oh, a compliment. I think I'll fall over." She teases.

"Listen, I'm sorry I've been a dick lately...a jerk lately. It's just...Have you heard from Mason?" Tyler asks.

"No and I don't think we're going to. He's coming, he's going, it's just his way. He's the exact opposite of your father." Carol admitted

"We should have cancelled this party." Tyler said as he stared at his fathers picture thinking it was too soon to be having a party.

"This whole masquerade theme was his idea. I don't know what it has to do with helping the homeless but once he made up his mind, he could really be a dick...a jerk. But I loved him and I know you did too. It's natural to feel abandoned. I just don't want you to feel alone." Carol tells him as she reminisces a bit.

Tyler smiles and said, "Come on, put your mask on. Let's just go out there and pretend to have some fun."

"I think I need a cocktail first." Carol said as they put their masks on.

Katherine and Lucy arrive and go their separate ways. Katherine takes a strawberry from a plate and walks into Matt.

"Elena?" Matt asked.

"Matt? You look dashing." Katherine said while impersonating Elena.

"I thought you said you weren't coming." Matt said.

"I couldn't miss it. You really are hot in a suit. I would love to just...Okay, here's the deal." Katherine said, stopping herself from getting off track and compels him, "Do you know what you have to do?"

"I'm gonna get Tyler Lockwood really drunk. I'm going to start a fight with him and I'm gonna beat him until he snaps. I won't stop until he kills me." Matt says in his compulsion.

"God, you're hot. Now go away." She orders and Matt leaves.

Gilbert Residence

Jenna is on the couch. Elena and Naruto are with her.

"I feel like an invalid." Jenna moaned from her position on the couch.

"Maybe just a wee bit," Naruto teased as he held his fingers up in a pinching motion.

Jenna, Elena and Naruto chuckled but that Jenna held her stomach in pain, causing Naruto to become concerned. "Okay, I should probably stop with the jokes." Naruto said, "How did you even get injured anyway?"

"I walked into a knife. How does somebody do that? The thing is I don't remember how I did it." Jenna said but Naruto looked suspicious as that sounded like compulsion to him. Some Vampire must be targeting Elena. Probably her look-alike that he saw earlier.

"Yeah, how odd." Naruto shrugged so they didn't get suspicious.

"Where's Jeremy? Isn't he hungry? The food's getting cold." Elena asked.

"He already left for the Lockwood party." Jenna said, surprising Elena and Naruto.

"He went to that?" Elena asked.

"That's surprising. He hated those parties even when I was still around." Naruto commented.

"Yeah, I'm glad. He needs to have more fun. Lose some of that emo thing." Jenna said, making Elena suspicious.

"I'm gonna get some napkins." She says as she goes into the kitchen and joins Alaric.

"What's going on?" Elena demanded of him and Naruto ease drops on the conversation with his super hearing.

"What do you mean?" Alaric dodges.

"I haven't heard from anyone all day. It's like everyone's been avoiding me and now Jeremy's supposedly at the party? He hates stuff like that." Elena said as she knew her brother best.

"I don't know what to tell you, Elena." Alaric says, then his phone rings. Elena tries to grab it but he grabs it and puts it in his pocket.

"So then you'll be okay if I just head out, try to meet up with everyone?" Elena casually asks as she grabs her keys.

"Wait, wait, wait." Alaric says, which stops her.

"What are you hiding, Rick?" She asked again.

"Stefan asked me to keep an eye on you, just in case Katherine showed up while he was at the party." Alaric admits.

"So Stefan's at the party too? He would never go to the party for himself; he did that stuff for me." Elena says to herself as she's very confused.

"Just let this one go. Okay Elena?" Alaric asks and Naruto looks at his watch.

'I should probably go kill those vampires while I am still thinking about it.' Naruto said as he got up.

"Well Elena, it was great seeing you again. I'm going back to my house and finish getting settled in. Maybe we'll see each other tomorrow?" He asked.

Elena tucks some of her hair behind her hair cutely and says, "Yeah that would be great. And hey, don't take too long to let Bonnie and Care know your back, they miss you."

"I will," He says with a smile. "Bye." He closes the door behind him and hops on his motorcycle and speeds off to the Lockwood party.

Lockwood Mansion

Later

Bonnie and Jeremy were going back to the party, having setup the room to ambush Katherine in. "We need to let Stefan and Damon know the room's ready." Bonnie says then stops suddenly, as she got a weird vibe. "Do you feel that?"

Jeremy asked in confusion, "What's the matter? Are you cold?"

"No." Bonnie says as she walks into the crowd until she see's Lucy in her mask and taps her on the shoulder.

"Excuse me, do I know you?" Bonnie asked politely, as she got the feeling she did.

"No, I'm a plus one. I know no one, but it's a great party though." Lucy says as she leaves.

Jeremy walks up to Bonnie and asks, "Are you okay?"

Bonnie wonders that herself, as the woman felt familiar but she couldn't place. She shakes off the feeling and says, "I just got a weird vibe. Let's find Damon."

Meanwhile, Lucy was finishing her drink as she tried to drown out the sense of dread and terror creeping up her spine. She had only felt it once and that was when…

"Hello Lucy," Came the familiar voice of her former savior. She looked in the direction of the voice and there was Naruto, smiling, "We really gotta stop meeting like this."

Gilbert Residence

A few minutes later

"Hey guys, I'm gonna go to bed. You good over there?" Elena asks Alaric and Jenna, secretly gripping her car keys.

"Good night, Elena." Jenna says.

"Good night." Elena says.

She slips out the door unnoticed and gets in her car and drives to the Lockwoods.

Lockwood Mansion

Stefan puts Aimee's body in his trunk. Katherine killed Aimee earlier to make a point to Stefan that she wanted the moonstone. Stefan and Damon met up near the room where they were planning to ambush Katherine.

"I put the body in the trunk for now." Stefan says.

"We'll dump her when we get back." Damon dismisses.

" This is exactly what I didn't want it, Damon." Stefan says.

"Stefan, it's collateral damage." Damon said in annoyance.

"Right, which is why we need to call it off." Stefan said which makes Damon angry.

"What? Who's hesitating now? Hey! Don't do this to me! This woman ruined our lives, she destroyed us! Tonight it ends. We can do it together. I got your back. All right?" Damon said.

"All right." Stefan agreed.

With Caroline

Caroline is inside. She sees Matt with Sarah and Tyler. He stops, looks at her for a moment and leaves with them. She then receives a text from Jeremy reading "Your turn." She walked through an empty part of the manor and goes to open a door but Katherine arrives, grabs Caroline's wrist and pushes her against the wall.

"What are Stefan and Damon up to?" Katherine asked.

"What do you mean?" Caroline asked.

"I've got Jeremy Gilbert luring me out to the lake. What's going on?" Katherine asked.

"I don't know...nothing." Caroline shrugged only Katherine to choke her.

"Don't lie to me, Caroline. They're up to something, what is it?" Katherine asked.

"They're trying to kill you." Caroline said causing Katherine to let her down.

"I figured as much. Where is the moonstone?" Katherine asked.

"Bonnie has it." Caroline said.

"And where is Bonnie right now?"

"...She's upstairs." Caroline relented as she knew if she ticked off Katherine, then the elder vampire would kill her.

"Let's go." Katherine said speeding upstairs with Caroline's hair in her grip.

"Why do you keep dragging me into this? I don't want any part of it." Caroline cried.

"Shut up! Which room is it?" Katherine asked.

"It's that one." Caroline said pointing to a room before Katherine released her and walked into the room.

"Where is she?" Katherine asked with a glare before she turned around to see Caroline smiling.

"I did it! I really didn't think that I'd be able to fool you but I did it!" Caroline smiled before Katherine rushed forward to take her heart out but she couldn't pass the threshold.

"What the...? Stefan?" Katherine says. He steps into her view with stake in hand.

"Hello Katherine." He greets her.

"Goodbye, Katherine." Caroline says with a smile and leaves.

"You don't really think that you can kill me with that now, do you?" Katherine asks rhetorically as she unwittingly steps in front of the door that Damon was hiding in.

"No," Stefan says as Damon opens the door silently and aims at Katherine, "but he can."

Damon fired the weapon The stake goes in her back. At the same time Elena screams in pain as blood start to pour out of her back where Katherine had been stabbed.

"What's going on?" Jeremy demanded.

"Jeremy, it's Katherine. She's linked to Katherine, get them to stop! Now!" Bonnie tells him and he leaves while trying to undo the link between Elena and Katherine.

Stefan rushed Katherine to drive the stake through her arm. Katherine merely backhanded him across the room. Damon rushed up behind her and pulled out the stake that he shot in her back and tried to stab her in the chest, however, she merely caught the arm by the wrist, broke it and drove the stake into Damon's shoulder with is hand still gripping the stake. Damon groaned in pain.

Stefan pulled out a stake and threw it at Katherine, who saw it coming and moved Damon in the way, the point of the stake coming out the front of his throat. While Stefan pulled out his other stake, Katherine spun Damon around punched his lowering lumbar spine, dislocating four of his vertebrae, making him fall to the floor and taking him out of the fight.

She threw Damon aside as Stefan threw his other stake and she caught it and threw it into Damon's right eye, causing him to shout in pain. Stefan growled at this and rushed Katherine. Stefan jabbed at her, but she blocked it with her left hand and jabbed his own face with her right hand, then hit him with on both sides of his jaw, dislocating it. Blinded by the pain, he attempted a wild haymaker, which she parried and jabbed him really hard in the chest, breaking several ribs and cracking his sternum. He stumbled, dazed as Stefan was not used to pain, before Katherine delivered a swift chop to his back that cracked his spine. A flash o00f Vampire speed later, and not only was Stefan tripped up, landing on his back, but the stake that Stefan had at the beginning of the fight, if one could call it that, was stabbed into his throat, and came out the back, embedding itself in the floor.

Katherine dusted herself off as she sat on the couch comfortably with one legged crossed over the other, mocking them as they struggled in pain. It was at that point that Jeremy ran up.

"Stop! You're hurting Elena! Everything you're doing to her is hurting Elena!" He shouted, causing Damon and Stefan to look at Jeremy, or as much as they could with stakes in their throats.

"Oh, I think they've learned their lesson. Now, run along little Gilbert." Katherine told him as Stefan managed to pull out the stake in his throat.

"Jeremy, go check on Elena. Make sure she's okay. Go!" Stefan said, once the hole in his throat closed. Jeremy hurried back to Elena.

"Let's all make sure poor Elena is okay." Katherine said in annoyance before she got an evil idea and put the point of the stake against the palm of her hand, "Just a little bit more pressure."

She cut her palm open with the stake. The same wound appears on Elena's hand, but unlike Katherine, she didn't heal. Elena cries out in pain. Katherine decides that's enough tormenting her descendant as she does need her alive to give her over to Klaus.

"You know, you two really are disappointments. I'm sitting here now and having a hard time remembering what I saw in either of you that I spread my legs for you two. Stefan is so pathetic that he can't control his bloodlust and flips between blood junkie and abstaining saint, and Damon can't control his impulsiveness or his inferiority complex. In fact, I'm starting to think Damon just doesn't have a brain. I expected more from you two. Hell I even erred on the side of caution and had myself mystically tied to Elena. Now, since we have established that there is no reality here where you two triumph in this confrontation, where is my moonstone?" Katherine demanded.

With Elena

"Bonnie, it hurts." Elena moaned in pain as she kept bleeding from Katherine's wounds.

"I can't break the spell, Elena. I'm sorry but I can try to take some of the pain away. Okay? Okay?" Bonnie takes Elena's hand into hers and casts a spell. "Ascinda, mulaf, hinto, ascinda..."

Jeremy arrived in a hurry. "Are you okay?"

"Are they?" Elena asked if Stefan and Damon were okay.

"They're stuck in there with her." Jeremy said before looking at Bonnie, "You were right; Katherine had a witch link Elena to her."

Bonnie realized who it was, "The girl I saw, the one inside! Stay with her, keep pressure on her shoulder!"

"Where are you going?" Jeremy asks as he put pressure on his sister's wounds.

"There's another witch here, I'm gonna find her!" She says leaving quickly to go find the witch.

Jeremy removed his Resurrection ring and holds it out for Elena to take and Elena pushed it away, saying, "No."

"Elena listen to me. You need this more than I do." Jeremy tried to give it to her again but she shoved it away.

"No Jeremy. What I need is for you to be safe." Elena said to her brother.

"Well, this is awkward." Naruto voice came as he stepped out of the tree's and into their view.

"N-Naruto?" Elena looked, shocked and worried that he was here.

"You're-You're back?" Jeremy asked as he did not know that.

"Hey, Jer. I'd ask how ya been but your sister needs help." Naruto causally said.

"Y-Yeah, she was stabbed. We need to get her to the hospital." Jeremy said, trying to cover up the supernatural world.

"You don't need to lie, Jer. I heard everything, including how she's linked to Katherine." Naruto said as he placed a hand on Elena's back where she was bleeding.

"Wait, you know?" Elena asked weakly.

"Yes, Elena. I know all about the supernatural world. And don't worry. I'll fix you up real quick." Naruto promised as he grasped her palm where she was cut. He closed his eyes for a moment to concentrate.

"Liscar ge stadol nure," Naruto chanted as he opened his eyes and they glowed searing red for moment. Elena felt her wounds heal.

With Katherine

In the room with Stefan and Damon, Katherine felt weird, wondering what this odd feeling passing over her was.

With Elena

"What did you do?" Elena asked.

"I healed your wounds with my magic." Naruto said as he walked around and knelt in front of her, "That will all be for nothing if the link between you and Katherine still exists. Let's take care of that, shall we?"

He placed both his hands on her head and mutter's, "Finite". His eyes glow red and the bond between Elena and Katherine is severed.

With Katherine

Katherine knew something was wrong now, as she felt the link between her and Elena be severed. Did she underestimate BonBon? Was she actually strong enough to sever a link made by her more experienced cousin?

With Elena

"All right, that should take care of the link." Naruto said as he stood up.

"Wait, Naruto. I-" Elena tried to say as she pulled herself to her feet, but she slipped and almost hit her head against the rock. Naruto caught her and pulled her against him. She would have blushed at how muscular he was if it were not for the seriousness of the situation.

"Easy Elena." Naruto said as he motioned for Jeremy to come and hold her for him. Jeremy came up and Naruto handed her to him. "I may have healed your wounds but you still lost quite a bit a blood. Jeremy, get her home. I promise I will explain everything later, but right now, I have a couple vampires to go kill."

Naruto ran off back towards the Lockwood Mansion and Elena reached out to try to stop him.

"Jeremy, please go after him. He's going to kill Stefan and Damon." Elena pleaded with her brother.

"No, Elena. I'm not leaving you alone in your condition." Jeremy said, though he would send a quick text to Bonnie to let her know about Nathan but she didn't get it.

Few minutes earlier

In his dad's old office, Tyler had begun to enjoy himself. With liquor flowing and the company of a friend and a female dancing around in her underwear he was currently in his element. The mentioned friend was Matt and the girl was Sarah Barnes. There had been another girl as well by the name of Aimee Bradley however she'd been missing for a while.

"Where's Aimee anyway?" questioned Sarah

"I don't know she disappeared." Said Matt.

"She's probably drunk somewhere." Said Tyler as he was pretty well on his way there himself.

"Like me." Said Matt before taking the bottle and pouring some on the floor.

"What the fuck man!" exclaimed Tyler getting the other teen to stop.

"What man? It's a party." Said Matt, picking up a picture of the Lockwood parents from off of a shelf.

"Right dad? You know, looks like your dad wants a drink." Continued the compelled teen before pouring the liquor onto the picture.

"Hey, that's not cool. What's wrong with you?" said Tyler moving to snatch the picture away only for Matt to move it out of his reach.

"Come on Ty, the guy was a dick." Said Matt

"Come on, you're being mean. His dad's dead." Said Sarah

"Doesn't make it any less true. Remember how your dad used to slap you around?" said Matt before slapping Tyler in the face.

Bringing his hand up to his face for a moment the Lockwood heir, directed a glare at Matt that was so vicious it gave both teens pause.

"Because your drunk, I'm going to do your ass a favor and pretend that didn't just happen. Now put my dad's picture down." Spoke Tyler speaking slowly, trying to stay in control.

"Alright man chill. I'm just having fun." Said Matt moving over to the desk only to slam the picture into the edge, breaking it.

"Okay, you need to calm your drunk ass down right now!" said Tyler

"Do something about it." Said Matt pushing the other teen back.

"That's what you don't want." Said Tyler using every ounce of self-control he possessed to not knock the other teen on his ass.

Unfortunately while he was trying to control himself Matt took the opportunity to rush him tackling the Lockwood heir to the floor before throwing a punch at his face.

Caroline was nearby and her vampire hearing picked up the fight between Tyler and Matt. Not wanting Tyler to kill her ex, she hurried to the room they were in. Tyler pushes Matt off of him before he got up and punched Matt him in the face which was when Caroline arrived.

"What is going on? Stop!" Caroline told them.

She puts herself between them. She pushed Matt on the floor. Matt got up and rushed over Tyler but she stopped him, holding him back with one hand thanks to her vampire strength.

"I can't! Let me go, I have to finish!" Matt said in a daze.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Tyler demands of him.

"Let me go!" Matt said. Caroline looked him over as he kept trying to get to Tyler. Realizing that Katherine must have compelled him to start a fight with Tyler so he could Tyler would kill Matt in a rage and activate his curse, she elbowed him hard in the face, knocking him unconscious.

"Matt?" Caroline says as she slowly approached his prone form, afraid she might have hit him too hard and given him brain damage or something. Sarah picked up a pocket knife off the desk while Tyler and Caroline were focused on Matt.

"How did you...?" Tyler asked as he never seen Caroline do something like that.

"Matt failed. If Matt fails, I can't." Sarah muttered, her compulsion taking effect.

Caroline heard this, and turned around to see Sarah raising the knife stab Tyler and tried to warn him, "Tyler, look out!"

He turned around and Sarah drives the paper knife in his chest. In his pain and anger, he pushed her, she hits her head hard on the desk, a sickening crunch of bones breaking filling the air, and falls to the floor dead. He looks at his wound and rushes over to Sarah, afraid he really has kill her. "No, no, no! Come on, wake up! Sarah, open your eyes, wake up! This can't happen, oh no, this can't happen. This can't be happening! Sarah! Sarah, get up! Sarah! Open your eyes! This can't be happening! Not like this!"

Caroline goes over to Sarah and checks her pulse by putting two finger on her neck. She looks at Tyler and shakes her head. Tyler suddenly grabbed his head and grunts in pain as something inside of him changes.

"Tyler? Tyler?! Tyler, what's happening?" Caroline asked in concern.

He was kneeling on the floor and yells at her, "Get away!"

"What's happening?!" She asked in concern again. Finally he raised his head and Caroline is shocked to see his amber eyes, signaling that he has become a werewolf.

What neither of them saw was that Naruto saw the whole thing from the point that Tyler pushed Sarah. Growling as another innocent had died because of Vampires, he growled and headed upstairs to kill all three of those filthy vampires.

With Bonnie

Meanwhile Bonnie was moving through the house at a fast paced walk, her senses opened wide as she tried to track her target. She traced the magical signature to an empty dining room.

"You looking for me?" Lucy says as she walks into Bonnie's view.

"Who are you?" Bonnie asked.

"Name's Lucy." Lucy offered.

"What are you doing here?" Bonnie demanded.

"I should have known I'd run into a Bennett." Lucy said in anger at Katherine for pitting her against family.

"How do you know me?" Bonnie asked her.

"You figure it out. Look, I have no interest in fighting you." Lucy said.

"Then stop the spell you put on my friend." Stated Bonnie.

"Sure, if you give me the moonstone." Said Lucy causing Bonnie to frown.

"Seriously!? Why are you helping Katherine? Don't you know what she is?" questioned the teen.

"Look who's talking. Tell your vampire friends to hand over the moonstone and all will be groovy." Lucy told her cooly.

"You're not leaving this room until you stop the spell!" Bonnie said as she stood in her way.

"Look, I don't want to hurt you." Lucy told Bonnie but she wasn't dissuaded.

"I don't want to hurt you." Bonnie growled back and Lucy sighed.

"Look, I don't have a choice here. The bitch saved my life and now I owe her a life debt. I have to pay up. Besides, stop worrying, Elena is fine." Lucy says and Bonnie frowns.

"I left her bleeding in the backyard, she is not fine!" Bonnie growls.

"Someone already undid the link I put between Katherine and Elena, and given it's him, he probably already healed her. So, your friend is fine. Now, if you will excuse me, I have a moonstone to find." Lucy says as she tries to leave but Bonnie grabs her wrist.

Lucy saw a flash of the moonstone and looks at Bonnie. "You have the moonstone. I can sense it on you."

She grabs Bonnie's forearms. The lights start to flicker as a warm feeling passed over Bonnie, letting her know she could trust her.

"Do you feel that? You can trust me. Give it to me, it's okay." Lucy urges her. That was when a sonic roar pierced the air. It caused them to cover their ears in pain as only supernatural creatures could hear it.

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

"Oh that's not good. He's already going for the kill." Lucy muttered as Bonnie rubs her ears.

"Who's going in for the kill? What was that?" Bonnie demanded.

"That was a Sonic Roar that only supernatural creatures can hear. As for who, well…how devastated would your friend be if Stefan Salvatore dropped dead?" Lucy asked.

"She'd be devastated. Why?" Bonnie asks.

"Then we need to get up there and stop that fight." Lucy said as she grabbed Bonnie's wrist and pulled her along.

"Wait, stop! I need to know who's trying to kill Stefan and Damon!" Bonnie demanded.

"It's a werewolf! And this isn't like the ones your group are used to! This is an Alpha Werewolf, a breed of werewolf that makes the oldest Vampires in existence frightened for their lives and he hunts them for sport! Unless you want your best friend to lose her boyfriend, we need to get up there and stop him!" Lucy yelled as she pulled Bonnie along.

With Katherine

Two minutes ago

Back within the sealed room, a small pause had come to the hostilities as the two brothers warily eyed the more significantly more powerful vampire. She had spent the last several minutes berating the two of them, while casually throwing them around the room.

"Why haven't you killed us yet?" questioned Stefan after as the lull in their activities dragged on.

"Who ever said I wanted you dead? This is punishment for annoying me and getting in my way, plain and simple." Said the elder vampire.

"You crossed the line when you went after Jenna to get to Elena. Did you think there would be no retaliation?" asked Stefan, causing Katherine to roll her eyes.

"Jenna was a warning shot. Next time you piss me off, I'll make her kill your precious Elena, then little Jeremy and then to disembowel herself." Said Katherine causing both vampire brothers to freeze.

It was then that they heard it. Growling. Katherine jumped up as she recognized it. "That's not possible. It's not a full moon tonight." She said in shock as she seemed scared.

They then heard the scratching. A single claw scratching along the wall to go along with the wolf growling. Then they saw in the doorway, it was a…man?

"So," Naruto said slowly, "You're the ones."

"Oh great, Katherine just trying to scare us. Congrats Kat, you got us." Damon stupidly said. Stefan glanced at Katherine and seeing the genuine fear and apprehension in her eyes, Stefan wasn't so sure this was some elaborate scheme.

"You know, I've been back a single day, and already this town…my home…has going to the dogs!" Naruto growled as he crushed the trim on the door. "My first girlfriend is the Petrova Doppelganger, Caroline's been turned into a vampire, Vicki's dead, Sheila is dead, Jenna was compelled to kill herself, Matt could have been killed tonight, poor Sarah just died, and just now, my godbrother Tyler was turned into a werewolf."

"So many problems. And every time I think about it, it always comes back to you three as the ones responsible for this mess." Naruto growled as he lowered his head. He flicked his hands as each neatly trimmed nail became razor-sharp claws. He raised his head, and his cold steel blue eyes had changed to searing red and his teeth each became razor sharp fangs. "Let's fix that."

"Okay, buddy. Bravo." Damon said, being his usual stupid, overly emotional self, "Your tough. We get it. Now get out of here before I come over there and rip your heart out."

"You? Kill me?" Naruto chuckled madly, "A couple of 160 year old new born vampires and 540 something vampire teen is going to hurt me? Don't. make. me. laugh."

He crossed the threshold of the spell that kept the three vampires trapped. Damon rushed at him to rip his heart out. But Naruto caught his wrist casually, while Damon was using every ounce of his strength to break free. Naruto uppercut Damon in the stomach sending into the air. The force of the attack would have been enough to send Damon through a whole three floors, but because of the barrier spell, he bounced off the ceiling. Then, Naruto Spartan Kicked him in stomach, causing him to hack up blood as the kick ruptured both of Damon's intestines, and sent him crashing into the wall on the other side of the room. As Stefan helped Damon up and Katherine readied herself for a fight, Naruto spoke words that chilled them to the bone.

"I wager this won't be any harder than my morning exercises." Naruto mocked as he sucked in some air and unleashed his Alpha Roar.

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

The sonic roar caused their enhanced ears to ring as it disoriented them. Naruto appeared in a burst of speed and punched Stefan in the gut several times, before slicing that gut open with a deep swipe of his claws. Stefan cried out in pain as he was headbutted hard enough to fracture his skull, before he was punched in the face, sending him into the ground.

Naruto ducked and pivoted on his foot as he avoided a haymaker from Damon, before he delivered a straight kick to Damon's right ribcage, breaking every single rib, before deliver another kick but to his right knee, dislocating and fracturing his knee, as well as fracturing his tibula and femur.

Damon was then grabbed and thrown into the path of Katherine kick and found himself kicked across the room. Katherine wasn't deterred and kicked at Naruto's chest with her vamp-speed, but he leaned back to avoid it. She swiped at his head with her leg, but he ducked under it. She pivoted on that same foot and kicked at him again, which he dodge and she followed up with a haymaker. Naruto slapped that aside as well as her other haymaker, before slamming his fisting into her face, disorienting her, before gripped her head and pulling it down as he slammed his knee into her face, before slamming a double handed hammer blow onto the back of her head, slamming her into the floor, and then kicked her into the air as she slammed into the wall.

Naruto spun around and caught Damon's wild fist by the wrist. He caught Damon's other fist and casually held him there as he tried to moved his arms, but he wasn't able to move them even a bit.

Stefan took advantage while Naruto was distracted and punched him to try and take his head off. When his punch landed though, Naruto's head didn't move and inch, and all it seemed to do was break the fingers in Stefan's hand. Naruto mockingly tutted him before he grabbed both Damon and Stefan by the throat as he held them in the air, cruelly laughing.

Katherine vamp-sped behind him, placing both hands on his head and twisted to snap his neck…

…or not.

It didn't seem to matter that Katherine was using all the strength she had, which was a lot for someone over the age of 500 years old, she just could not seem to snap his neck. She couldn't even move his neck by a centimeter!

'Impossible! This is not possible! No werewolf should be able to do this!' Katherine thought as she survived several encounters with werewolves over her long life and knew none of them could do what this one was doing.

Naruto threw the Salvatore brothers down, and reached his back and gripped Katherine's neck. Unfortunately, his claws stabbed into the middle of her spine. Naruto and Katherine stood prone there as Naruto saw every single memory of Katherine's entire life in an instant. Once Naruto regained his bearing's, he threw Katherine into the ground before stomping on the back of her neck, violently breaking her neck.

"Hate it when that happens," Naruto muttered as he rubbed his head a bit before he smirked the two Salvatore brothers, who were struggling to stand.

"I take back what I said before. My morning exercise is tougher than this." Naruto said mockingly.

He sped to Stefan, slicing his stomach open several more times with his claws, before slicing upwards into his chest. Stefan tried to swing his fist, but his blow was dodged by Naruto , he ducked under it, and pivoted until his back was against Stefan's back. He reached behind with one arm, and jerked Stefan's head backwards, violently snapping Stefan's neck. Naruto let Stefan's body drop to the ground as blood pooled in the vampire's mouth.

Naruto examined his handiwork when Damon roared and tackled him to the floor. "YOU. LEAVE. MY. BROTHER. ALONE!" Damon shouted as he punched Naruto with every word.

Damon then tried to plunge his hand into Naruto chest and rip his heart out, but all he got for his troubles were broken finger bones, as he failed to even break the skin.

Naruto plunged his clawed hand into Damon's stomach and ripped out both his stomach and liver, causing Damon to gasp.

Naruto slammed his fist into Damon's face, knocking Damon off him before he sped to his feet and kicked Damon into a corner. As soon as Damon landed, Naruto was upon him. He gripped Damon by the throat and lifted him up a little. Damon tried to punch him but Naruto merely caught the fist, gripped his fingers, and pulled them back so far that he ripped them off halfway, exposing the bones. Naruto then punched Damon repeatedly in the face, until he punched him so hard that his jaw came off on the right side, and it was dangling on the left side of the Vampire's face.

Naruto growled and was about to bite him when he was assaulted by a powerful, dual aneurysm spell. Naruto tried to cancel it out but he couldn't as it seemed to be too powerful for Lucy and Bonnie alone, and Naruto unfortunately fell unconscious.

Lucy breathed a sigh of relief. Naruto was too powerful on his own for her and Bonnie together to be able to take him down, so she channeled Katherine's, Stefan's, and Damon's vampirism for additional power, which given the form he was in and Bonnie added on to it, seemed to be enough to knock him out.

Tomb under Fell's Church

Naruto woke up, unable to move. He looked and found that he was bound in wolfsbane soaked chains. The amount of chains would normally be enough to kill an ordinary werewolf 10x over. He wasn't an ordinary werewolf though.

"The Sleeping beauty awakes" Katherine says from her leaning position on the far wall as she approaches him, "So, let's talk."

CHAPTER END

Naruto's full wolf form looks like Greywind with Red Eyes.

His roar sounds like Deucalion's Alpha Roar when he's in his Demon Wolf Form.

I rather liked DarknessIncarnate2000's Feral Maelstrom story and was disappointed when he didn't reupload the chapters, So I took inspiration from the ideas he had that I could remember before he more or less discontinued his story and wrote this little story here.

Still working on on my other big stories.
