Sarah, Tyler and Matt are in Tyler's dad's office.

Sarah says, "So, what happened to Aimee?"

Matt answers, "I don't know, she disappeared."

Tyler replies, "She's probably drunk somewhere."

"Like me," Matt comes back with and pours alcohol on the floor.

Tyler grabs the bottle from him exclaiming, "whoa, don't do that."

"What man?" Matt says not getting the big deal. "It's a party." He takes the picture of Carol and Richard and looks at it. "Right dad? You know, looks like your dad wants a drink." He pours alcohol on the picture.

Tyler took offense to that, "Hey, that's not cool. What's wrong with you?"

Matt excuses his behavior by saying, "come on, the guy was a dick."

Sarah also tries get him to see his era. "Come on, you're being mean. His dad's dead."

"Give me the picture!" He tries to snatch it but Matt won't let him.

"Remember how your dad used to slap you around?" He slaps Tyler.

Tyler began to get angry. "Are you kidding?"

"I'm just having fun."

"Put the picture down now man."

Matt slams the picture against the desk, breaking it.

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

"Do something about it!" Matt pushes Tyler away.

"I'm not gonna fight you."

Matt rushes over him and throws him on the floor. Matt punches him in the face. Caroline is downstairs, she hears the fight. Tyler gets up and punches Matt. Caroline arrives.

"What is going on? Stop!" She puts herself between them. She pushes Matt on the floor. Matt gets up and rushes over Tyler but she stops him.

"I can't! Let me go, I have to finish!"

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Tyler asks.

Matt yells at Caroline to let him go.

Caroline looks at him. He keeps trying to get to Tyler. She elbows him hard in the face. He falls on the floor, unconscious. She rushes over to him. "Matt?"

Sarah secretly takes a paper knife off the desk.

Tyler looks at him in surprise. "How did you...?"

"Matt failed. If Matt fails, I can't." She says holding the knife.

Caroline sees this and yells, "Tyler, look out!"

Sarah drives the paper knife in his chest.

"So Sarah attacks Tyler and he pushed her away and she tripped and she fell and she hit her head." Caroline finishes explaining to Damon who went to see her about Tyler after Alyssa's revelation.

Alyssa had other plans but wanted to hear what Caroline said to make sure he had actually triggered his curse and she wouldn't expose them for nothing. She made at call to Damon after he got there to make sure she was included in the conversation.

She sat on the hood of the car. "Does Matt remember anything?"

"He thinks he blacked out but I think they were both compelled by Katherine. It's why I covered for him with my mom and told her it was an accident." Caroline answers with an explanation.

She could hear the scoff in Damon voice when he answers, "Yeah I don't understand. The guy is a total tool." She had to agree.

"Gee, duh," apparently Caroline feels the same way. "But Tyler getting blamed for Sarah death just opens up questions that he can't answer and do you really think that it's a good idea for him to tell his mom he's a werewolf?"

"No." Both Damon and Alyssa answers.

"Exactly, because that werewolf road leads straight to Vampire Boulevard! I thought I was thinking fast on my feet."

"Is it even safe for us to be talking about this? You know with your mom being all Van Helsing or whatever." Alyssa asks.

"She's leading the search party for Aimee Bradley. They haven't found her body yet."

"That's cause she's in the bottom of the reven. You know us teens and our underage drinking. Tragic as it is, we have living people to worry about or the living dead. So did you see Tyler's eyes turn yellow?

"They were more gold with amber highlights." She asks. "Does that mean he can he turn into a wolf now?

"We already covered this Caroline." Alyssa says a bit annoyed. "He can only turn on a full moon. But now he has increased strength and who knows what else. "I wonder how much Mason told him."

Damon asks Caroline if he knows about them but she doesn't answer, if Alyssa had to guess it was because she was primping herself for school.

"Hey!" Damon calls to get her attention. "What did you tell him?"

"Nothing, really. I don't think he knows much of anything. He seemed really freaked out and honestly, I felt kinda bad for him."

Alyssa hears them leave the room and patiently waits for the conversation to continue.

Seconds later Damon says, "He's got to know something."

"Alright. I'll ask him."

"No, you won't Caroline! He cannot know about us. A bite from a werewolf can kill a vampire so don't be his friend! Do you understand me?"

"I understand. I'm late for school."

"Right. If you want to drop the hint to your mom, that Aimee's body is at the bottom of a ravine with a cracked spine. Might save your mom some time."

She looks at her nails as she hears the door open and shut.

"Here I thought your violent outburst of protection was aimed towards only me."

"That didn't only go for Caroline. Stay away from Tyler."

"Like I would willing go near the one person who being kinky with would literally kill me." She says right as Tyler walks up.

"What are you doing?" Tyler asks.

"You're with him right now aren't you."

"Gotta go," she hangs up on Damon and jumps off the hood of his car. "What does it look like? I'm here to see."

"We haven't spoke since my father's funeral."

"Yeah I know and that's on me. I just have a lot things going on, Elena drama with Stefan if you had a sibling you'd understand."

"What do you want?" He didn't believe she came just to check up on his life.

"I heard about what happened with Sarah. I came to see if you were okay."

"Why wouldn't I be. I didn't have anything to do with it it was an accident."

"So you and Caroline told the sheriff." she steps closer to him and whispers, "but you and I know both know that's not the truth."

"I don't know what your talking about." He says walking over the car to the driver side.

She kept her back to him when saying, "I know what you are." He pauses his body going stiff. She turns around to face him knowing she had him where she wanted. "You have two options, you can get in that car and drive off or you stay and talk me and we can figure this out together."

He takes a second to think about it and shuts the door.

She smiles slyly, "good boy."


"How did you find out about me?"

She turns to him when he walks back into the room with her tea. "I read the same journals that Jeremy did. Then there was Mason…"

"You talked to my Uncle Mason. Did he tell you anything?"

"No. I didn't. Sorry," she put the cup up to lips smelled it for vervain before taking a sip when she didn't find any. "All I got to go on is the journals. He spoke about your family and it's secret. I always thought that it was ramblings of a mad man but then…"

"What?"

She sat down the cup on the table, "I saw your uncle turn into a wolf. Well I didn't actually see him turn. I saw him go to his truck human and come out...not. So I did more reading and I found out that one of your ancestors was one also. It's where the moonstone came from."

"He wanted to break the curse. Do you know where it is now?"

"I didn't even think it existed until Jeremy said that Mason was looking for it. I still can't believe it."

"How did you even know?"

"Caroline, you know much she loves to gossip. She told me happened with Sarah and the masquerade party. Again thanks to Jeremy I knew what was going to happened on the next full moon. But I'm sure you have Mason to help you through it."

"Mason took off." He sat down on the chair distraught. "I don't know what's going to happen to me."

"I know I can't understand what you're going through but I want to help." She says sitting down on the chair beside him. "You don't have to go through this alone." She took his hand in her, "we can figure this out together."

Stefan and Damon are outside the school when Alyssa shows up with Tyler. Alyssa tells Tyler to go ahead and walks over to Damon just as Stefan enters the school

"Let me guess," she says with a slight sigh, "another Elena crisis."

"She didn't come home last night and her car is still over at the Lockwood's." Damon says with a hint of irritation. "I thought I told you to stay away from Tyler."

She wasn't about to back down. "And I told you, you don't get to tell me what to do anymore. So I'm guessing Elena's missing."

He knitted his brow together wondering how she could have known that.

"I was over at the Lockwood's remember. I saw the car. She wasn't home this morning so I just assumed."

"And you didn't think to say anything?"

"Well I was kind of preoccupied with finding out what Mason told Tyler. He doesn't know anything by the way. He thinks Mason left town which is good you know since he can kill us and probably will if he finds out what we did to his uncle. Besides, I knew you and Stefan would be on it. So I'm guessing were ruling out Katherine since she's stuck in the tomb. Which means that what she said before you shut her in there was true and Elena really is in danger."

"Stefan wants to talk to her."

"What does he think's going to happen? Katherine's going to suddenly be in a generous mood and willing offer up any information to save Elena while she rots in the tomb for the rest of her unnatural life. Because I can tell you right now that's going to happen. You know what is, she's gonna negotiate her release which you're gonna be dumb enough to give her and she's gonna get out and kill us!"

"It's Elena."

"What it is is a bad idea."

"It's Elena."

"I know." He made his feelings for Elena very clear on more than one occasion. "So I know no matter what I say, you're going to try and save her. Even though you have no idea who has her or why. So you go ahead and run to her rescue like always. I'm going to stay here and come to yours." She walks away and headed towards the only the school.

The only way she knew to do that was to find out why Katherine really needed Mason, who it was she was running from and what Elena has to do with it. She knew all three of them were going to be a challenge to find out. Since Mason was dead and Tyler knew nothing, there was only person she could turn to for help.


"Did you find anything else about the Lockwood's from Isabel's research?"

Ric looks up from his papers as Alyssa walks into his classroom. He looks around to make sure no one else is before addressing her.

"Everything I had about the Lockwood family and Isabel's research, I gave to Damon."

"I know but I was hoping maybe she would have told you something during one of your late night sessions."

"I thought you would have moved on to something else now that Mason's...no longer an issue."

"I would have. If Katherine wasn't the evil bitch that she is and hadn't compelled someone into getting Tyler to trigger his curse. So unless I can find a way for him to be able to control it…."

"Damon's going to kill him." Rick says knowing that it was a good possibility. "Okay, I'll see what I can find out."

"Thanks," she starts to leave but stops and as an afterthought says, "oh yeah you might wanna know, Elena's possibly been kidnapped by someone looking to get back at Katherine, or, because of Katherine, either way, we're going to need some weapons."

She drops the weapons on the table in Alaric classroom, "if you're going to after Elena, you're going to need weapons."

Stefan looks through the bag, "where'd you get this?"

"Rick, I knew I couldn't talk you out of this clear suicide mission. Have you found her yet?" Bonnie was there along with Jeremy so she knew they were using a locator spell to find her.

"Bonnie was able to map it out till a area. Jeremy's going to map it, aerial view will show us what's around there, help us narrow down the area." Stefan tells her and she's please because it meant that she could focus on Tyler.

"Well, it looks like you got it cover." She says walking to the door. Stefan watches her leave.

"You're not coming?" He thought she would insist on coming to make sure they didn't do anything that would get themselves killed to save Elena.

"An hour car ride with you and Damon racing to save Elena….No... Besides I have my own rescuing to do."

"Damon never said he was coming."

"You can't be serious right." She knew Damon would never stay behind when Elena's life can be in danger. He was going to come in on his white horse and save the day as he always had to. They all turn to the door when it opens and Damon walks in. Alyssa turns to Stefan with an I told you so look and says, "Like I said," she walks passed Damon and leaves the classroom.


Tyler is outside playing basketball with a few guys from school. Alyssa watches from a distance as he uses his super strength to jump up and slam dunk the ball.

"Dude," one of the guys says after watching, "what the hell was that? Where did that come from? How'd you do that?"

Alyssa comes to his rescue by throwing her arm around his shoulder and saying, "Tyler is working on his game, trying to becoming the next Micheal Jordan. Now you fellows will excuse us Tyler has other sweating to do." She leads him away from the group of boys he had been playing with. Her arms still around him, "you gotta to be more careful than that." She lets him go when they were blocked by the school bus.

"I don't even know what that was or how I did."

"Your a werewolf now Tyler. That comes with special gifts, speed, strength, even your emotions are going to be heighten."

"How do you know all of this?"

"Not here, is it safe to talk at your place."

"Yeah."

"Then I'll meet you there."

Tyler lets in Alyssa in and she comes in going straight for his father's study where the liquor is.

Tyler comes in behind her, "my mom has meetings all day." He says so that she will know that they had privacy and were free to talk.

She turns and hands him a glass of scotch that his father liked to keep in the inside of his desk draw, something she had learned from Tyler when they were together.

"Drink this, it'll help with all the inside jittery stuff. Keep you from wanting to rip someone's head off for even looking at you wrong." She says taking a sip of her own drink.

"Was that in the journals you read?" He takes a sip of it.

"No," she picks up the letter opener on the desk, "something I know from experience."

Tyler just looks at her.

"I'm not the same girl that you knew."

"I know." He could see a change in her every since her parents died.

"No, you don't." She looks up at him from studying the letter opener. "If I'm going to help you there are some things you need to know."

"Okay." He wasn't sure what she was about to tell him but she knew it was bound to change everything.

She tosses the letter open at him and uses her vamp speed to catch it before it touches him.

He jumps back frightened dropping his glass, "what the hell?"

"I mean it when I said you weren't alone Tyler."

"You're like me."

"No, not exactly like you. I do know what you're going through. Like you I never wanted this, nor did I have a choice."

"How?"

"I want to tell you everything Tyler. I want to tell you about your mom and the council and everything but I can't unless you promise me that it stays between us. If you tell your mom what I am. I'm as good as dead."

"I promise."

She downs the rest of her drink and sits down. Tyler gets that this is something that he needs to sit down for and does.

"Well for starters your mom…."


"Damon," she walks into the Salvatore house and into the foyer where the fire was burning but sees Stefan instead of Damon. "I thought you were Damon."

"Yeah," he says holding a glass. "I heard."

She steps into the room. "Jeremy text me that Elena was home."

"Must have disappointed you."

"So what happened? Who took her? Did it have anything to do with Katherine like we thought?"

"So it turns out Elena needs to die to activate the moonstone." Stefan says after filling her in on the situation.

"The moonstone's in the tomb with Katherine and neither one of them are getting out. Elena's safe."

They hear noise coming from the library before Stefan has a chance to response. They share a look before going into the library to check it out.

Stefan calls out, "who's there?"

Rose arrives.

"Rose I presume." Alyssa says to Stefan.

"I'm not here to hurt you."

Stefan asks, "why are you here?"

"Lexi once told me that you're one of the good ones."

Her mentioning Lexi surprises Stefan, "You knew Lexi?"

"Trevor was my best friend. For 500 years I have lived with one person and he's gone and I don't want to run anymore because I don't have anywhere else to run to."

"Well, I'm sorry but I can't help you."

"I don't need your help but I think you need mine. Elijah may be dead but this isn't over."

"What do you mean "it's not over"?" Alyssa asks but she knew that there was no way that it could have been that easy.

"It isn't over. The originals, they'll come for her. They have to. They're doing it for him."

"For who?"

"Klaus."
