A NEW CHOICE

Season 2 "By the Light of the Moon"

Tyler P.O.V

I attached the chains and began to tug on them really hard, making sure they wouldn't break. "Tell me you brought the instruction manual." Caroline said in joking way.

"Tell me you brought the wolf's bane" I said as I pulled some more heavy chains out of my bag and continued attaching them to the walls.

"Yes." Caroline said as if she just realized something, "Umm, NOT an easy herb to find."

I looked up at Caroline as she pulled a plastic bag out and took out the herb that was in it. "This is it…" she said in a very quiet voice.

She held the wolf's bane in front of me and I reached out for it. I winced in pain as it burned my skin, I began to get scared, if it can burn my skin, I can only imagine what'll happen if I drink it. I saw Caroline's face in pain as well, I realized that Caroline would not be able to handle seeing me in pain for the full moon, so I've decided I'd make her leave early. "The water bottle's in my bag, you can mix it in there." I said to her.

"Okay." Caroline whispered, obeying my order and taking the water bottle out of my bag.

She placed a piece the wolf's bane in the water bottle and began to shake the bottle. "Hey Tyler… How you doing?" she asked in a worried tone.

Such a question that she would ask me… "Still human…" I assured her.

Caroline got up and I went behind her. I began to take off my clothes, and I saw Caroline turn around, her face was filled with fear, which turned to shock when she saw me shirtless. She quickly turned back around and I couldn't help, but smile at her childish reaction.

Caroline P.O.V

"Oh my god! You're not… getting naked… are you?" I asked Tyler as I felt my face burn up. If I was still human, I'm sure I would be blushing right now.

"It's elastic…" He said, I couldn't control myself and I turned to look. As much as I would love to deny it, Tyler looked really good shirtless, and I mean REALLY GOOD.

Tyler looked at me in disbelief, he must be wondering why, for a vampire, am I acting like such a baby… I mean it's just a boy without his shirt, jeez CAROLINE! BE MATURE! I screamed in my head. Tyler began to speak, "I mean what should I wear? I don't think it's like Hulk where I get to keep my pants on."

I scanned his body up and down and the only thing running through my mind was, Tyler is so beautiful… he is sooo muscular and very… NO Caroline, GOSH stop it!

I realized Tyler was staring at me with questioning eyes and I turned around sighing in relief.
