Hello people! I'm back with another chapter. I hope you like it enjoy it and yeah!
Tyler. I had to find Tyler. How could've I forgotten him? How could I have forgotten the fact that he was a werewolf now and that it was full moon tomorrow His first full moon. The worst one of them all. Oh God, how will he go through it? Mason was supposed to be here if something like this happened. He was supposed to help him, protect him, and now it was only me. A person who Tyler doesn't even know properly. Yes, I have talked to him a few times, I did stay in his house but he basically does not know anything about my personal life. He was not going to trust me. Well he will have to, I know how to help him. Kind of.
There was only one place he could've been at right now. His home. I decided that the best way to get there before he leaves is apparition. Getting exposed wasn't on my mind then. At that moment I really did not care if he knew I was a witch or not. It did not matter.
"Tyler? Are you here?" I yelled. I couldn't be asked to check every room of this house. It was just too gigantic. "Mia, is that you?" A slightly shaking voice came from behind me. I turned around only to be engulfed into a hug. I was not expecting that. Not at all. I patted his back awkwardly. "Hey, hey, it is going to be okay." I comforted him. It lasted for about a minute before he let me go and looked at me. It felt as if he was staring into my soul. I did not like that sensation.
"If you are here, is Mason too? Where is he? I really need to talk to him right now." He talked hystericallly. Oh boy, this is going to be hard. "Tyler, Mason isn't here. He sent me here to help you." I heard a loud groan and my wand was out in millisecond. It turns out that it was a video coming from his computer. I need to stop being so jumpy.
"Tyler, don't watch that." I said and turned the screen off. This was only going to make it worse. I remember Mason telling me about his first full moon and how excruciating it was. It was almost as bad as being under Cruciatus Curse. I would not wish that to anyone. Well that is of course with the exception of Death Eaters. "Look, it will get better, I promise. It is the first time you have to get through and it will hurt less each time. I will be there with you." I assured him and he ran his fingers through his hair.
"How do you know about this?"
"Look, that isn't very important right now. The thing that is important is for you to calm down." I seriously could not comfort people. Usually me trying to do that made things only worse. And things could get much worse than this.
That night I stayed over at Tyler's. He insisted that I would sleep there since he knew I had nowhere to go. Well he didn't really know that, he guessed. We talked a lot. Like hours long talk. Deep inside he was actually a nice guy. I mean he talked about how he felt and everything while I listened to him. That was the best I could do.
And now we were getting ready to head out for the Lockwood cellar. I could not actually believe I was doing this. For Mason. This was for Mason.
"Heading out? Oh and Hermione dear, how are you doing?" Carol Lockwood came into the room. I gave her a slight smile and nodded my head as if saying I'm good. "Yeah... Me and Mia are gonna get lunch at the grill, I've got practice and I'll probably go out after. I'll be late." He said all that without looking at his mother. He fiddled with his bag full of chains and other stuff he needed while Carol had no idea what was going to happen to her son.
A loud ring echoed through the house as we headed for the door. I opened the door slowly only to meet the face of a person I really did not want to see. And I bet she did not want to see mine either. "Mia. Surprising to see you here." She said in her over cheerful voice I hated. "Jules. What are you doing here?" I asked.
"Hi!" She completely ignored my question and turned to look at the two people behind me. "Hi." Tyler said slowly.
"Sorry, rude. You have no idea who I am. I'm Jules, a friend of Mason's from Florida. You must be Tyler." Could she leave already? I just wanted her to like... I don't even know. She just irritated me.
"Yeah? Nice to meet you." He said that in an unsure voice. Good Tyler, very good. The less you say the quicker she will walk away. "So I know it is weird of me to just stop by but I'm trying to track down Mason."
"Mason's back in Florida. He has been for a while now." I forgot that Mrs. Lockwood was still there. She was so sure of what she was saying. If only she knew... If only all of them knew. "See that's the thing. He's not." Now Jules was going to create so many problems. I mean if I was her I would do the same if my friend got missing but this wasn't going to help anybody. There were enough problems at our hands for example Tyler or even Elijah. He was kind of nice to me but that did not mean I trusted him. Especially since I started getting those dreams or whatever they were of him and other original vampires. Were these like some kind of warning of what was to come? The warning that all the originals? I was never the biggest believer in divination, but I knew something was going to happen. Something terrible. And this town was in the centre of it.
I was happy when we actually left that house and went to the grill. "Wait so the plan is to meet Caroline and then go to the cellar afterwards?" He nodded his head and I sighed. "Great, that's just great." We walked into the Grill and I spotted the blonde haired girl immediately. I grabbed Tyler's hand and quickly marched towards her, but I accidentally bumped into someone.
"We'll call her..."
Faces flashed through my mind. One of them was completely unfamiliar but the other one, not so much. Alaric Saltzman, the history teacher was standing with a woman, a small baby girl in her hands. I did not know he had a daughter? For some reason that baby looked very familiar. Yes, I know that when babies are born they all look very similar but her, she had something unique about her. Oh well, I could think about this later. The thing that I did not notice was Ric staring at us from further away, a mix of confusion and sadness clouding his face.
"Caroline" I greeted her and sat down next to Tyler. She smiled at me brightly. Me and her were kind of friends. I actually liked her. She was nice and not that annoying and most importantly she had nothing to do with Mason's murder. Tyler and her were the best people in this town I have met. Well maybe that guy named Matt. He was also nice. Well that is 3 people out of like 7,000.
"Hey, what is wrong?" She asked when she saw Tyler's face which wasn't hard to read. "This girl Mason knows stopped by the house. She said he never made it back to Florida. My mum's freaking out. She was on the phone with your mum when I left. We should get going."
"Tyler, I know her. Jules. I think she is just overreacting you know. Maybe Mason is just somewhere in some beach surfing. You know how he is." This was felt so wrong coming out of my mouth. I was lying to him. I was lying to Tyler. But Caroline was as well and I could tell that the guilt was killing us both.
We have been here for hours now and this place was giving me the creeps. Me and Caroline just stared at Tyler while he was getting ready for the full moon. He was already all tied up with chains hanging from his body. I could see the small prickles of sweat running down his forehead and his fists clenched as he asked, "What time is it?"
Caroline was the first one to take out her phone. "It is almost 8. What time does the moon... crest or whatever?"
"Not for a while." I muttered.
"Mason's journal said that the first transformation can happen before the moon hits its apex." Tyler added in as he walked around the dark room. It was a little cold in here but it was probably only me who felt that since Caroline was a vampire and Tyler was a werewolf.
"Does it say how long you'll actually be a wolf?"
"A few hours? Maybe more. Maybe less. " There was a long pause before Tyler started walking towards us, trying out the chains to see if they would break. He pulled them a few times before getting his wolfs bane drink. This was going to be hard. I saw Mason do this, and it wasn't a pleasant sight.
"Are you sure you want to do that?"
"Yeah, maybe you shouldn't. It will hurt. Like a lot."
"Yeah. Mason said it would diminish my strength. So I can't break free." He took a deep breath and took a gulp. I jumped up to my feet and so did Caroline. "Tyler, are you okay?" That was a stupid question. Of course he was not okay! He was choking and spit out most of what he had drunk. I slowly stepped towards him patting his back. Caroline also tried to calm him down but he just started shouting. "Don't! Don't!"
After a minute or so he had stopped coughing and looked at Caroline. He had tears glistening in his eyes as he said, "I'm sorry." That was so sweet. Caroline then ran her fingers through his hair. Okay, you have to admit, they would make a nice couple.
After I thought everything was calm Tyler's breath hitched and he was trying to get his chains of. It has started. "Tyler! Tyler?" Caroline yelled at him but he was already groaning in pain not being able to hear hear. This was going to be a long night.
"I'm burning up. It burns!" Tyler cried out.
"I know, but you just have to get through this."
"I'm trying."He was crouching on the floor. The moonlight was shining into the room from the small window in here. "Both of you should go."
"We are not going Tyler." I said in a strong voice. I was not. I would stay here with him for the whole night if I had to. "You should leave."
"No, not yet." Caroline declared. But Tyler wasn't listening to her anymore. I knew what was going to come now. Tyler's arm moved back in a weird angle and I heard a sickening crack and a loud scream. "It hurts...it hurts." Then it moved back into its original place and Tyler fell to the floor. Caroline crouched beside him. "I want to help but I don't know what to do."
"There is nothing you can do." The young werewolf pulled himself up and then his spine broke. I could not take it. I could not just look at him and not be able to do anything. This situation was giving me deja vu. "Get out."
"No."
"Get out. I don't want to hurt you."
"No. No."Caroline ran towards him but another bone broke. I stepped back slightly giving them both space. I did not want to interrupt. I just took in the scene in front of me. Two species that were supposed to hate each other, in this dark moment brought together. That was just beautiful.
I could hear them arguing about Caroline and me leaving and I was proud that she didn't leave yet. Werewolfs bite was deadly to a vampire and she was going to risk that just to stay here with him.
However she jumped back when his bone breaking started again. But this time his eyes started glowing as well and his fangs grew out. This was when Caroline got freaked out and ran towards the door. I did the same since this was the part where things could really get dirty since now, it wasn't the human Tyler but the wolf Tyler who would kill anything with a heartbeat. Caroline was fast enough to close the gate before Tyler came rushing towards us ready to take a bite. But the chains stopped him . Do you want to guess what he did? He grabbed the chain and pulled it. He broke the bloody chain! And an expensive one at that.
When Tyler ran towards the gate I grabbed Caroline and dragged her out of the room and closed the door behind me before sliding down it. I could still hear his loud groans from inside there. This was hard for me. He was basically the one of the only people I actually thought of as friends and now he was in so much pain. Why is it always that all my friends have to suffer so much? Is it because of me? Maybe I like bring bad luck to people or something.
Caroline sat down beside me, sobbing softly. "Caroline. Don't worry he will be fine. He is strong. He will get through this." I muttered to ensure her. Or was it me? I didn't even know anymore.
"How can you be so calm about this?"
"I don't know. I think I just got used to this. I saw worse things in my life." I said quietly.
"What could possibly be worse than this?" I did not answer to this. There was a comfortable silence. Wait, silence? Caroline seemed to notice this as well. Then suddenly, the door smashed open and Caroline sped to close it. "Tyler?" Tyler had ran into it again, breaking it slightly, then again. I could see his glowing eyes through the crack he made. I grabbed a piece of wood and gave it to Caroline while she grabbed me and ran through the woods. She stopped after a moment. We were literally in the middle of nowhere.
"Lets go back. I think he should be fine now." I said and she nodded her head slightly. "Well what a night this was!"
"Mia? Are you angry?" Caroline asked out of nowhere. "Why would I be angry?"
"You know, about Mason and everything." I shrugged. Of course I was angry, but it kind of diminished. My emotions were kind of numb lately. "Not at you. Or Tyler." I gave her a slight smile.
"What are you going to do now, since he is gone?" What is up with these questions?
"I don't know yet. I'll probably just stay here for a bit or travel around the world or something. I don't really have anywhere to go." I mumbled a little embarrassed. I absolutely hated when people pitied me. I didn't need it. "Look Caroline, don't worry about it. I'll think of something."
"But where is your family? Don't you have any friends that you could stay with?" That hit a nerve.
"You know that people should mind their own business, right? Because right now I feel like you don't know what that means."
"I'm sorry."
"Look, whatever, it's fine. I'm just stressed and all. And no I do not. That conversation ends here." We walked back down the stairs to the cellar. It was so quiet now. It must have ended. "Tyler?" I called. "Mia?" A hoarse voice of Tyler answered.
Okay, so basically I'm planning to start uploading like once a week or something? I think that would be good? Well yeah, tell me what you thinkk.
