"But I won't give up, when I want it enough…
No I won't give up – anything, anyway, anyone, any day.'
-Foo Fighters, 'Normal'
There were times Tyler wanted to give up and go home.
He had lost track of time during his exile in some godforsaken cave in the backend of nowhere. Strewn about were articles of clothes, the scent of vervain and wolf's bane, and screams of agony as skin, bone, and sinew stretched and snapped as Tyler transformed ad nauseum.
There were times he thought of becoming human again, to be normal. But normal would not give him the strength needed to protect Caroline - his Caroline who was incredible, spectacular… supernatural.
She was worth it.
Suddenly normal seemed very pedestrian.
