I was freaking tired. Mason dragged me for a run with Tyler and let me tell you this, I wasn't in a mood for a work out. Even if I am not in such bad shape, I am still not that eager to exercise. I mean it was supposed to be Tyler and Mason time but he just decided that I am a teenager and I shouldn't be lonely so he made me come. I can do just fine on being on my own.
But even though I wasn't in a state or a mood for running for miles, I still went and kept up with the boys. Actually, I was probably faster than them, and let's not forget the fact that Mason is a werewolf and Tyler has the gene which meant that I outran a supernatural being who is like 10 times faster and stronger than an actual human.
It was a euphoric feeling when we got back to the huge Lockwood mansion which Carol Lockwood, Tyler's mother graciously let me stay in with Mason. She probably did it just to be polite in front of all the people. If people from town weren't around and Mason wasn't there with me she would have probably just left me on the streets.
"Was it like 7?" Tyler grunted out as he took deep breaths to calm himself down.
"6. I don't count the last one." Mason replied.
"Tyler, you crawled it." I grinned. Tyler did get kind of slow in the end. I heard Mason laugh out loud while Tyler just looked at me disbelievingly. "What?"
"I think grandma Lockwood would actually pass you." Mason added in before he snickered. "In her walker."
"Okay, shoes off you two. Mud, my mum..." He motioned his hand as if it was cutting his neck and shook his head. "Yeah, yeah…" I muttered before I sighed in relief. My legs were burning and aching so badly and it was heaven to take those hellish shoes off and sit down. All I needed now was a long calming shower.
"So all this anger and aggression you were talking about. Notice the difference when you exercise?" Oh… he was giving him the talk. Not that talk! The talk about werewolf things and how to control the anger issues. Well Tyler didn't know that…yet.
"Dude, I play 3 Varsity sports, I work out 4 times a week and run 3. I'm going to say no." Wow, this guy really is obsessed with sports. If it was me, I wouldn't be bothered to do most of it.
"Do you have episodes?" Mason questioned further while I just sat there awkwardly not knowing what to say. I felt like I was interrupting their bonding time and listening into conversations I shouldn't hear. Tyler gave Mason a look before he shurgged. "I mean it starts off normal. I get angry typically over nothing. I'm an angry guy, you know. It just amplifies and I go off."
"You black out?"
"Yeah. It's like I go blind with rage." He threw a water bottle at Mason and he caught it with grace. "Is there a pattern? Like once a month only at night?" He asked curiously while Tyler looked like he was deep in thought. I don't know how he still hadn't picked up on what Mason was hinting at.
"All I knew is that I lose myself you know? For that time, I become something else and I hate it." That was the last thing he said before he sauntered out of the room leaving me and Mason staring at the place where he just stood. We stayed there for a few minutes in complete silence before I decided that I had better things to do then just sit around. Like getting ready to go to the Carnival which Bonnie invited me to.
"Okay, I'm going. I need a shower immediately. In fact, so do you. You stink." I gripped my nose to prove my point. Then I left in search for the room I was staying in.
And trust me, that was a really hard task. Even though Hogwarts was like 10 times bigger I knew it by heart, but this place, I'm here for the first time and all of these rooms looked exactly the same. When I finally found the bedroom, I sighed. The room was big. Well it was big for me. It had a queen-sized bed in the middle of it and a walk-in closet in the right of it. The walls were all clean white and the ground was covered in laminate and rugs. There was a large window with a seat. It looked over the large grounds the Lockwoods had. Overall it was pretty.
I walked into the connected bathroom and quickly took off my sweaty clothes and stepped into the shower. I let the warm water run down my scarred body before I started scrubbing it to get all the dirt off. Then I moved to my frizzy hair. It took me about an hour to finish everything. I was always a person who took long showers.
I put on my skinny jeans and a simple white shirt. My hair was out in its natural wavy form. "Hurry up, Mia!" Mason yelled and I let out an annoyed groan. A girl has to have her time to get ready.
I slipped on my sneakers and my denim jacket and went out the room and ran down the stairs. I went through the exit door and into Mason's car. In my opinion, I got ready fairly quickly compared to other girls who take hours doing their hair and makeup. I see no point in doing that.
I had to sit in the back since Tyler also took a ride with us. Me and him kept bickering between each other about the radio station. I must admit, I cheated a little. I used some magic to make the station which I wanted to keep playing no matter what Tyler did. He got really annoyed but didn't say anything for the rest of the ride while I kept smirking. Mason understood what I did and shook his head in disappointment but I still saw him silently laughing.
When we arrived, we split into different directions. I went to find Bonnie while Mason and Tyler went somewhere… I'm not actually sure where. After a few minutes of walking aimlessly around the Carnival I noticed her. She was walking next to the Elena or Katherine… whichever, talking between each other.
"…this is a huge success." I heard Bonnie say as I approached them.
"You mean I can be more than just a freak vampire havoc?" This was Elena. I could tell because of how different she acted from her vampire doppelganger. She was sweet and shy while Katherine was confident and mean. "Good for you." Bonnie smiled and then they both let out a giggle.
"Hello Bonnie, Elena." I said casually and waved my hand. "'Mione! You are finally here! We have been waiting for you." Bonnie said and something inside me stirred.
"Please don't tell me that you are planning on going to the library on your birthday, Mione?" Harry and Ron asked while we sat in the Great Hall. Well it was Harry who questioned me because Ron wasn't even able to speak with his mouth so full of food. He was seriously eating like an animal.
"Um… Maybe?" I grinned sheepishly before my face consorted into a frown. "Don't call me that."
"Hey uh... Carter, right? You are with the Carnival?" Elena asked some random guy. I saw Bonnie stand up higher and put her chin up. She had a slight tinge of pink on her dark skin. She liked him. I tried to ignore the tingling feeling of love in my heart. The flashes of my past have recently started coming back and so have my emotions. Bit by bit everything was coming back, and I really didn't want that.
"That be me." Then he turned to Bonnie and smiled. "What do you need beautiful?"
"Oh… uh. What do you know about karaoke speakers?" She stumbled on her words and he chuckled. "Why don't you show me the problem?"
"Yeah Bonnie, show him the problem." I said and she nodded her head with a ridiculous grin on her face. "Yeah, come on." She motioned to the place where the Karaoke Speakers probably were.
The next thing I knew Tyler was in front of me. "You are coming with me, Bushy." He grabbed my arm and dragged me to a crowd of people who were gathered around table. He went to the table and told me to stay here. I stood in the corner of the room looking at Tyler and how he was winning.
"Ah… You are lurking."
"I'm observing."
"More like obsessing.
"This guy has strength. "I listened in on someone's conversation. I didn't know who it was but it was obvious that they were talking about Tyler. They stood directly behind me and I could just feel the danger radiating from them.
Then Mason stepped into the view challenging Tyler. Oh, this is going to be good. They stayed in the same position for a few seconds before Mason won. I cheered loudly for him.
"Alright, he is the champ. Who wants to go next?" Tyler asked the crowd and the voice behind me spoke up. "Stefan wants a go." There was an awkward silence for a few moments and I could just imagine the two men having a staring contest before 'Stefan' spoke up, "Yeah, uh… sure. I'll have a go."
He looked like I expected. Brown locks, forest green eyes, broad forehead. "Get him Stef!" The voice behind me shouted and I decided to turn around and look. I was quite shocked to see the same man I caught staring at me at the Mayor funeral.
I looked back at the two men arm wrestling. I could tell that they were both were equally strong because of how much they were both concentrating. But once again, Stefan's arm touched the table and Mason won. "Go Mason!" I yelled.
Stefan walked back to the place he was standing in before. I don't think they've noticed that I was standing just a few feet away from them because of how freely they were talking. "You didn't put any effort in!" The blue eyed one said with disappointment while Stefan had a worried face. "Actually I did."
Me and Mason were just having a night stroll in the parking lot when we saw Tyler. Fighting with Carter, was it? Mason started running towards them, just to break up the fight so Tyler wouldn't kill anyone. He stood in the middle of them and started shouting. "What the hell man!" Carter tried coming at Tyler again. What was wrong with him? Mason grabbed him by his throat and pushed him back. Then another fight broke down.
Mason was on the floor one moment and another, he was jumping in the air, his eyes flashing yellow. And judging by Tyler's face, he saw that as well. "Your eyes…" He mumbled but Mason just ignored him and turned to Carter and hit him in the face, knocking him out cold.
The werewolf grabbed Tyler by his arm and dragged him away from all of this. Something caught my eye. 'Stefan' was standing in the bushes and staring at what happened. I knew that whatever happened was his fault so I decided to do something. And that something was to light up the bush he was standing behind. When I was done, I ran after Mason and Tyler.
Once again I was left all alone to wander around this place. I was supposed to hang out with Bonnie but I haven't seen her since when I got here at the start. I was walking around some building when I saw fire. And Bonnie. And the blue eyed man laying on the floor about to get burned. I chose to butt in because I had nothing better do. I strolled towards them and took out my wand. I pointed it at the fire and whispered "Aguamenti". The fire was soon gone. She looked at me with shock all over her face. "Why did you stop me?" She asked, anger evident in her voice.
"I may not care about him, but I don't think he deserves to die." I said and then Elena ran into the view and took Bonnie into a hug. I just smiled sadly and decided that I should just apparate back into my room.
