Title: Of Wolf and Man

Summary: Tyler's going through a major change in his life, but he is yet to find out what. Every full moon, he blacks out and wakes in strange places. He suddenly finds himself attracted to Jeremy in a way he never thought he could.

Ok so I wrote this ages ago but felt it was a bit rushed and have decided to redo it and try to improve it. I hope I've succeeded.

Disclaimer: Unfortunately I do not own TVD and I stole the Werewolf imprinting thing from Stephenie Meyer but hey at least I admitted it. Oh and the title is a Metallica song. Also I kind of inadvertently stole the idea of Tyler's father knowing about the change (I can't remember which story it's in) but as far as I know the fact that Stephan and Damon are helping hasn't been done before. Sorry if I've copied anything but I have a rubbish memory and wouldn't remember if I'd read it before.

He didn't know what was wrong with him. It all started when his dad tried to start a fight between him and Jeremy. He felt the rage take over and he lashed out without a cause, hitting Jeremy just because he said he got what Tyler was going through. Why did I do that? Why do I let my dad rule my life? I'm SICK of him‼ Every time he tells me to do something, I bow down like a puppet. Well not anymore, I'm done taking his orders!

He was driving through town, when he felt it. An electric shock running down his spine, erupting in tiny explosions at his hands and feet. He felt like he was on fire. He pulled the car over, throwing open the door and wrenching himself free from the confined space. He felt his arms and legs twitch as his back arched against the pain shooting through his body. He felt bones cracking and cried out, needing someone to find him and stop whatever was happening before it finished.

Stefan and Damon were arguing nearby when they heard the first scream. They raced each other in the direction it came from, both trying to best the other. What they saw made their jaws drop. Lying in the middle of the road was a half man half wolf. As they got closer, Damon recognised him.

"It's that Lockwood kid, you know the one that keeps beating up your girl's brother." He looked at Stephan, expecting him to do something, but he wasn't there. "Stephan? Oh great NOW he decides he's gonna leave me alone. Fantastic."

"If you actually thought about the situation, you'd realise I went to check no one was coming down the road, but as usual Damon, you don't think about these things." He looked at his brother and motioned to Tyler on the floor. "He hasn't phased fully yet, we should get him back to the house before the transformation completes."

Damon looked at him as if he'd grown a second head and scoffed at him. "You wanna take HIM home? Go ahead, do you know where he lives?"

"I meant to OUR house. You know we have that room in the basement. He won't be able to hurt anyone and we could talk to him when he changes back. Explain things." He looked at Damon, imploring the older vampire to agree.

Damon huffed "You knew this was gonna happen didn't you? Knew he was gonna change?"

"I may have had an idea. I wanted to be sure before I mentioned anything to him but I guess it's too late for that."

Shaking his head Damon agreed, "Ok well then YOU can carry him while I go find something for him to eat when the transformation completes. God knows he won't want to eat any of the shit Zach left in the house." He shudders at the thought and darts off through the woods in search of some sort of wolf sized meal. Stephan hauls Tyler's body onto his shoulders and runs to the house, sprinting down to the basement and depositing the still transforming body onto the concrete floor. He looked him over for any injuries before closing the door behind him and walking up the stairs. Damon came back carrying a deer and looked at Stephan.

"He transformed yet? God knows I don't wanna be here when he's howling the house down." He dumped the deer in the kitchen, moving to cut it up into smaller pieces so as not to scare Tyler. "Shouldn't we tell someone about this? Like, maybe his parents?"

"Are you serious? His dad is the Mayor. He'd probably freak out and kick him to the curb. Unless he already knows and just didn't tell Tyler. Maybe we should talk to him." Stephan started to move towards the front door, when Damon stopped him.

"You know maybe I should go. After all I have spoken to him about the little Vampire problem." He smirked and left the house and Stephan behind, dashing through the forest to the Lockwood estate. When he reached the front door he knocked and stood back, looking as calm and casual as a Vampire could.

"Ah, Mr Salvatore, what a surprise! What can I do for you at this time of night?" The Mayor looked a bit flushed, as though he'd just been arguing within an inch of his life.

"I'm afraid it's a personal matter. May I come in?" He smiled internally at the manners that always seemed to pop up when trying to hide who he really is. The Mayor ushered him in, leading him to the study.

"What can I do for you? It's not another vampire problem is it?" He looked worried. And so he should be, his son is a werewolf and if he knew this was gonna happen he should have told someone.

"No no, I'm afraid this matter concerns your son, Tyler." The look that crossed Mr Lockwood's face almost made Damon burst into a fit of giggles. Almost.

"Tyler? What's happened? Is he ok?" Damon could see the internal monologue running as he thought of all the different scenarios that involved something happening to his son.

"He's fine. For the moment anyway. I'm sorry to have to say this but I think your son is a werewolf."

Okey dokey then. Well I'm not sure what you think of it but this is just a taster (obviously as there was no Jeremy in it). I'm not sure what form this story is gonna take but I have a few ideas running round my head.
