Chapter 1

Caroline sat down on the bed she sometimes used when she stayed over at Damon and Stefan's house. She put the two blood packs that she had gotten out of the basement and put them on the bed. She was waiting on Tyler to come back from the bathroom. She was scared and worried for him.

Klaus had turned him into a hybrid earlier that night. Watching him go through the transformation had broken her heart. She never wanted him to experience what she had. She was just so glad that he hadn't been alone. She had been there for him helping him and she would make sure he kept on living. She would make sure that he didn't accidently attack his mom in a moment of weakness.

So far she didn't notice much of a change. Apparently hybrids still had to use the bathroom because that was where Tyler had gone. It was good that was one thing that was the same. She wondered if it meant other things were possible for them. Maybe one day they could find a way to have a child together.

She was trying not to let on that she was scared for his future. He didn't have to turn anymore, but there had to be a downside. There was no way that it would be a gift without consciences. They would face it together she swore to that. It was why she was going to teach him about being a vampire. She didn't need Klaus near him or his bitch sister.

Tyler was looking in the bathroom mirror at his reflection. He still remembered Caroline's statement about thanking god she still had a reflection. He was glad of it too because he could see what he looked like now. He wouldn't have to worry about people freaking out if they didn't see him in a mirror either. That really wouldn't go over well seeing as how the town still went after vampires. Caroline's mom and his mom protected them now though.

His eyes were golden, but also like Caroline's turned when she was vamped out. He had seen his eyes when the wolf was close to the surface, that wasn't new to him. He could also feel when they changed, he felt like his own eyes were closing when it happened.

The thing that was new was the veins under his eyes that had hurt like hell when they first appeared in the school. He also could see his fangs, which were a mix between his wolf's teeth and Caroline's fangs. He loved Caroline's fangs especially when she was feeding from him. They could get him off just by her taking a couple of pulls.

He'd told Caroline he was okay, that he was fine, he wasn't scared at all. It wasn't true though, but he didn't know what to say. She was scared and he saw it in her eyes. He'd wanted to tell her he was okay when he heard her screaming after he drunk Elena's blood. He just couldn't form words at the pain that was going through his body and head.

It had felt worse than when the witch had been giving him all those aneurisms. He had felt millions of needles going through his head and when the fangs had come out it had made it that much worse. It was bad enough when he became the wolf half of him, but that had been hell too.

It was going to be different from now on. He'd be free of the curse sure, but he was dead. He was glad for it because he could be with Caroline forever. He wouldn't have to let her go if he got old because it was another thing he'd been terrified about. He couldn't let her watch him die; he would have left before that ever happened. Then again he really didn't know if he would have died since Caroline was his mate.

They had never talked about that and now he wouldn't have to think about it again. He just didn't know what was going to happen with being a hybrid. He was the first successful hybrid of this generation, but he didn't want to be the first of anything. He just wanted to be with Caroline. It was all he'd wanted since their freshmen years of high school.

They had survived so much together, the ups and downs, the loss of his dad, Mason's death, Caroline becoming a vampire. They had survived his first full moon together and they were going to survive this too. He just had to make sure that he didn't attack anybody.

He would have to make sure he remembered to drink blood every morning. He was just glad that Caroline was here. He couldn't imagine going through this alone. He hadn't been there the night she'd been killed, but he had helped her after that.

Tyler cut the light off before walking the short distance to where Caroline was at. He was starting to get hungry and didn't think it was wise to keep resisting the urge he had inside of him. He didn't want to hurt Caroline if he got to the breaking point.

He could also hear a heart beating. It was pounding in his head and he knew it was Elena's. He had heard Damon and her come in. He refused to feed from a person because he didn't want to be responsible if he lost control. He remembered what Caroline went through and he'd been in the woods with her when she was trying to hunt Thumper down at first.

"Blood bag?" he asked looking at the bed where the packs lay. He didn't want to drink human blood at all. He just had no choice in the matter unless he could feed from a vampire and stay alive.

"I think you trying to take down a deer would be nice to watch, but you hate hunting," she smiled remembering when he'd refused to shoot the gun she'd given him. "You wouldn't even take Bambi out with a gun, so you defiantly wouldn't do it now,"

"Don't remind me," he groaned sitting on the bed beside her. He'd thought maybe shooting the deer first would help her. He just couldn't do it after he saw the deer with its family. He thought about the baby deers loosing their mom and told her right then and there he couldn't leave them without a mom.

"You have a heart, Tyler," Caroline said with a smile. They had gone back to her house and he'd handed her a blood bag. "You told me to drink from the bag or put it in a cup, just don't the mom away," she knew how much his own mom meant to him.

"I'm just glad you never told anybody that," He didn't need Damon making fun of him. The guy was an ass and he sometimes wondered if his wolf side had bitten him for taking Mason away. However, he owed Damon because of what was happening with Stefan. He also owed him for setting him free of being the sacrifice in the ritual.

"I wouldn't let Damon harm you," She said and she hadn't even after Damon accidently got bitten protecting her. Caroline had tried to tell Damon she knew they could feed from each other because they were each other's soul mate, she was his mate, but it happened too fast. Damon got bitten, the sacrifice happened and then Stefan gave his self to Klaus to save Damon.

She wanted to teach Tyler that it was okay to drink like he had her. A bag was the way she was going to do it to start with. She moved so that she was closer to him. She handed it to him so he could open it. "Drink," she said once he took the bag moving her hand over his bare back. He'd changed out of the clothes he'd had on, leaving his shirt off.

Tyler took a sniff of it first not sure about drinking it. He was so torn because he loved Caroline and wanted to be with her forever. He knew not feeding would be bad, but he didn't want to do it. How could he do this, why the hell had Klaus turned him? He just wanted to be normal. He didn't want to be a werewolf, but he sure as hell didn't want to be this either.

"I don't want to," he tossed the bag on the bed and got up. "Why should I drink?" he looked at Caroline. "I don't want to be like this. I can live forever, I can be with you, I would never give that up, but I just want to be normal, I don't want to be a new line of anything" he was ready to punch a wall.

Everything was heightened even more than when he was a werewolf. He felt so angry right now he wanted to find that bastard and kill Klaus. He'd ruined everything and he acted like he owned this town. His family owned this town along with the other founding families.

Caroline got up going to him wrapping her arms around him. "I want that for you too," She said, "I love you, Tyler and I'm going to get you through this," She was going to do what Stefan had done for her. Tyler meant everything to her and she wasn't going to let him be alone in this.

He wasn't going to have to learn the hard way either. She also couldn't let him be weak and vulnerable. He was a hybrid and she'd make sure that he didn't die. She rubbed his back trying to sooth the anger he was feeling away. Their emotions were always in over drive and it wasn't good right now.

"I'm scared, I know I said I felt great," he had to tell her the truth; he couldn't lie to her not when she always told him the truth. Damon told her to lie about being a vampire, but she never did. "I have all these feelings," he was still hugging her because he thought if he let go he'd fall apart.

"I'm here to listen, so talk to me Tyler," she pulled back, but she didn't let go of him. She kissed him instead showing him all of her love in the kiss. He kissed her back moving so that they were against the wall. He had gone from feeling so angry he could punch a hole in the wall to wanting to have sex with her like that.

She moaned moving against him, but she pulled away before it could get too heated. She wanted nothing more than to have sex with him. She had thought he wasn't going to be saved at first. It had taken so long and he'd started getting sick without the blood. "We talk, and you drink, then we have sex," she took his hand moving to the bed sitting down. Once they got comfortable against the head board she wrapped her arm around him. "Now start talking,"
