Tyler left after they told him everything from the Salvatore brothers, Bonnie, the founding families and the secret council. Drake knew that he left to meet up with Jules. She won't be able to tell him anything he doesn't already know. They made sure that Tyler's view on Jules is askew before even meeting her.
"You sure that was the smart thing to do, telling him everything?" Katherine asked from inside the bathroom.
"Lies are a powerful weapon Kat but they're glass cannons. Once the truth rules out the lies are useless but the truth will always be the truth." He said flipping through the grimoire, "We need Tyler on our corner especially since Jules' pack is on their way here."
"It'll be quite the show." Katherine said emerging from the bathroom in a new set of clothes, "Seeing them rip each other apart."
"Don't forget we need at least one of them alive for Klaus' curse." Drake reminded as he opened his laptop, "Not to mention we still need someone else to join our little group project."
"Yes, now who is our soon to be ally?" She asked curiously.
"Matt Donovan." Drake answered, "You said that Damon and Stefan killed his sister right?"
"Damon turned her and Stefan staked her." Katherine clarified as she got up and leaned over her brother's shoulder, "He'll be harder to convince given the whole human thing."
"I know but I already have a plan for that. We have to prove that some of the misconceptions about vampires are false." Drake explained as he found Matt's Facebook account, "His eyes are incredibly blue."
Katherine let out a content sigh, "I know." She pushed off her brother's shoulders and stood straight.
"Getting Matt on our side will just as vital as Tyler's involvement." Drake stated confidently, "We'll need to get one of the Gilbert rings for him so he could be less fragile."
"That could be tricky." The vampire warned, "Those things are currently with Alaric and Jeremy."
"We'll take Jeremy's ring." He stated simply, "If Alaric loses his ring then there will be questions but if Jeremy lost it then he's just a reckless teenager."
Katherine gave a slow nod, "Make sense."
"I'm also working on resealing the tomb so that vampires and werewolves can't leave once they enter." Drake explained, "Once we capture Jules we don't want her running off on us."
"Speaking of the tomb." Katherine said as she sauntered to the mini bar, "What happens when someone sees I'm not there?" She asked pouring herself a drink.
"I've already have something in mind." Drake answered before the shower sprayed on. "I've set up camera's around the tomb. They're motion sensitive, you know, like how scientist track endangered animals. When someone walks by the tomb it'll take a picture and send it straight to my phone."
"Since when did you know how to work this techno stuff?" Katherine asked curiously.
"I know a lot of things." He replied simply.
"How are we going to tell the golden boy about his perfect girlfriend being not so perfect?" Katherine asked curiously as Drake drove.
"Simple, we don't." He answered receiving a confused look from his elder twin, "We'll tell him about what happened to Vicki and about Damon and Stefan. He'll go to Caroline and try to get her to avoid them which will either end with her telling him the truth or compulsion."
"But what if he goes to the police?" Katherine asked, "He'll tell them who told him and they'll start snooping around for us."
A small smile grew on Drake's face, "I have a plan for that."
Suddenly Drake's car spoke, "INCOMING. CALL. FROM. TYLER. LOCKWOOD."
"They really need to improve this things voice." Katherine muttered before pressing the answer button.
"What's up Tyler?" Drake answered.
"You were right. About Jules, about Caroline and the Salvatores, everything." Tyler said almost frantically.
"Tyler, I need you to calm down, okay?" The twins waited a moment as they hear Tyler take a deep breath, "Okay, now start with Jules, what happened?"
"She said everything you told me. About how werewolves and vampires are mortal enemies and how it's in our nature. And get this, she wants me to leave Mystic Falls!" Tyler exclaimed before he took a breath and calmed down, "She said some stuff about teaching me how to survive."
Drake scoffed, "Believe me if anyone can teach you how to survive it's me and Katherine." He frowned before he moved on, "And what about Caroline and the Salvatores?"
"Again, everything you said ended up being true, Damon killed Mason and she tried defending him." Tyler explained with a hint of venom in his voice.
Katherine smirked. The young werewolf is quickly growing a distaste for the Salvatores.
"Ok, Tyler I need you to listen to me very carefully. Can you do that?" Drake asked gently.
"Yeah."
"Caroline is going to go to the Salvatores and either Stefan or Damon will come to you. Stefan will try to talk you down and stop you from going after Damon." Drake explained.
Tyler scoffed, "Like hell I'll do that."
"If it's Damon, quickly break whatever wood you have around and use it as a stake." The hybrid instructed, "We're too far to get to you first so make a few stakes and plant them around your house and do it now. If anything goes wrong then call Kat, ok?"
"Got it." They heard him breathing deeper, "See you later, maybe." He said before hanging up.
"Think he's going to put up a good fight?" Katherine asked curiously.
"The Moonlight Earring I gave him allows him to not only control the shift but to summon the strength, speed and senses of his wolf form. He should more of a match for one of them." Drake said confidently.
"One of them." She repeated, "So if they go together he's as good as dead."
"They won't go together." He assured, "They think he's weak in his human form. Tyler is literally his own secret weapon."
"We'll lose that element of surprise if Damon or Stefan tell the others." She explained.
"They'll think it belonged to Mason." Drake shrugged, "Besides it won't deter our plan. But first we got to reseal that tomb."
Katherine smiled, excitedly, "I do love seeing you work."
Arriving at the Mystic Grill, Drake entered the bar before he immediately scanned the room for Matt. He had sent Katherine around the back to wait for when he took Matt outside. The plan was to compel Matt into following Drake into the alley behind the Grill and tell him what happened to his sister.
Spotting Matt clearing out a table of dirty dishes he began to make his way to the teen when a second blonde appeared. Drake halted his stride as Caroline sparked a conversation with her boyfriend. He didn't care enough to hear their conversation so he sauntered over to bar. He compelled the bartender to get him a shot of tequila for free before glancing over his shoulder at the couple who were still engrossed in each other.
"Such a shame." He sighed as his shot was served. He took the small glass in hand and downed it in one go, "Well, young love, burns bright and hot before it burns itself out." He muttered before spinning around the stool only to find Matt and Caroline walking out.
It was at most ten minutes before Matt returned. He glanced around to the bar to make sure he was the only vampire in thr Grill before getting. He walked with purpose as he silently stalked towards the young man. He followed Matt into the bathroom and quickly grabbed his shoulder and turned him around.
Staring into the blue eyes he compelled the teen, "You will follow me, no questions asked."
"Okay." He nodded helplessly.
Drake gave him a satisfied smirk before turning around and walking away. With Matt in tow they exited the Grill and walked around into the alley. Towards the end of the alley stood Katherine who had her arms crossed. Drake immediately felt her frustration through their link.
"Elena?" Matt asked aloud.
Drake chose to ignore the teen, "What's wrong?"
Katherine let out an exasperated sigh, "Just saw Jules, she kidnapped the baby vamp."
Drake nodded silently, "Has Tyler called you yet?"
"Tyler?" Matt blinked in confusion.
"Not a peep." Katherine shrugged.
"Then we gotta assume something's about to go down. Which means we have to make this quick." He sighed before he turned to face Matt, "Alright Matthew, allow us to introduce ourselves, Drake Pierce."
Katherine stepped up next to her brother, "Katherine Pierce."
Matt looked between then confused, "Elena what's happening?"
"Prepare yourself Matty blue blue this is going to be a shock." Katherine smirked before the veins around her eyes began to protrude and her eyes became bloodshot.
"What in the fu-" Matt began to exclaim before Drake slapped his hand over the taller boy's mouth and shoved him against the brick wall.
Drake raised his finger to his pursed lips, silently ordering him to remain quiet, "Matthew you have nothing to fear from us. We aren't the bad guys here." He said gently, "Now remain silent." He compelled the teen once more before removing his hand from his mouth.
"Let's start things off." Katherine sauntered next to Drake, "First things first, I'm not Elena. She's my duller than vanilla doppelganger."
"Essentially she's a copy and paste of my sister" He smirked.
"But I'm hotter." Katherine smiled, "Beyond that we're vampires."
Matt gulped down before he asked, "Like the blood sucking kind?"
The twins shared matching smirks, "Hit the nail on the head."
"Are you going to kill me?" He asked backing impossibly closer to the wall.
"Matthew if we wanted to kill you you'd be dead already." Drake pointed out, "No we're here to tell you the truth."
"About Vicki." Katherine clarified, "How she died."
Matt blinked in shock, "You did that, you killed my sister?"
"We didn't but other vampires did, you might know them. Pair of devilishly handsome brothers." Katherine hummed with a smile.
Drake rolled his eyes as Matt realized who she was talking about, "Stefan and Damon, they're vampires too?" He quickly processed all the information before he asked, "They killed my sister?"
"Not only that but Damon turned her." Drake stated, "Newborns are volatile especially during transition. You see, when we first turn we have an option ingest human blood or die. Vicki chose to live but had a hard time controlling her hunger and when the Salvatores decided that she was too much to handle Stefan killed her."
"So they just-"
"Ruined her life before ending it? Pretty much." Katherine shrugged.
Matt leaned against the wall and buried his head in his hands. Drake reached over and put a comforting hand on his shoulder, "Damon and Stefan killed your sister and they will pay for it, I promise." He gave Katherine a nodded, "See you around."
The twins began to walk away from the teen. They exchanged a silent look before they heard Matt's heartbeat pick up, "Wait." Smirking the twins turned to face the blonde, "If you're going to make them pay for what they did then I want in." He said with an air of confidence, "For Vicki."
"Of course." Drake smiled.
After convincing Matt to let Katherine take him to their hotel Tyler called the doppelganger who frantically told them what happened. The Salvatore brothers and Jules' pack clashed as they expected but the witch helping them was an unexpected surprise. Apparently this witch incapacitated the entire wolf pack single handedly. Whoever this witch was definitely knew what he was doing.
Drake arrived alone at the trailer where Tyler stood amongst the unconscious werewolves, "How did this happen?"
"Stefan cornered me at my house and I tried to call Katherine but I ended up calling Jules." He explained, "One thing lead to another and-" Tyler took a deep breath.
Drake inspected the werewolves on thr forest floor, "This one Jules?" He pointed at the blonde women. Tyler nodded before the hybrid kneeled down, "Why didn't you fight against Stefan?"
Tyler took a moment before deciding on an answer, "I thought that fighting back would tip them off about you. Especially with my new strength and speed."
Drake smirked, impressed, "You played the long game and it payed off. Quite well, might I add." He said before standing, "I'm impressed."
A small prideful smile grew on Tyler's face before he asked, "What do we do now?"
"Simple." The hybrid replied, "We put the dogs in the kennel, after them the witch thay saved Damon and Stefan. With them out out of the way we can focus on the Salvatores. Don't worry they'll pay for what happened to Mason."
"I'm not worried." Tyler replied surprisingly calm, "Damon and Stefan barely made out alive tonight. With you, Katherine, and I they can't beat us."
Drake gave Tyler a silent look before he smiled, "You're confident, I like that." He winked at the teen getting awkward shifting eyes jn return, "Let's load them up in the trailer."
When Isobel told John to meet Katherine he thought she was crazy. But then she offered the prospect of removing Damon and Stefan from Elena's life. Despite what everyone thinks he did care about his daughter and her well being. Being around vampires like thr Salvatore brothers will put her under constant threat of danger.
That's why he's currently walking down the stone steps of the tomb with a flashlight. He needs Katherine not only to keep Elena safe but to also get ride of the Salvatore brothers, one of them anyway. The older doppelganger knows the most about Klaus and how he thinks she'll be invaluable in taking him down.
Making it to the foot of the steps his boots kicked up dirt as he cautiously made his way to the door of the tomb. Pointing his flashlight he darted the light around the tomb looking for the vampire, "Katherine? Katherine?!" He called his voice echoing in the tomb, "Katherine, it's John!"
Hearing a series of groans were his reply. John quickly realized that the tomb didn't only have the vampire inside but others. It was impossible the spell was lifted. The only reason Katherine remained inside was because Elijah compelled her.
Stepping away from the tomb he quickly turned to run only to find said vampire, "Hello, John."
A second figure appeared behind her, a man who bore a striking resemblance to her, "Goodnight, John." He added before he whispered a chant and the men passed out on the floor.
Katherine huffed out a laughed before kneeling down next to thr vampire hunter. She pushed his head around before looking up at Drake, "So, what's your big trick, erasing his memory?"
"Close." Drake replied before kneeling next to to his twin, "I'm going to plant false memories in his head."
Katherine gave him an intrigued look, "How are you going to do that?"
Drake grabbed John's arm before offering his other hand to Katherine, "Take my hand." She took his hand curiously, "I'll go back before he makes it down the steps. You'll have to act as though you were in the tomb the entire time and figure out what he wants."
"What happens when the memories fade?" She asked.
"They won't as long as he doesn't hear or see anything that contradicts the memory." He explained before he closed his eyes, "Let's get started." He began to chant as Katherine's eyes fell shut.
They remained like for a minute before the twins opened their eyes. Drake let go of their hands and looked up at Katherine as she stood up, "So?"
"You mean you didn't see it?" She asked skeptically.
Standing up Drake began to explain, "I can only see the memories when the link is between me and another person otherwise I focused entirely on the linking of two other people."
"I'll tell you on the way back." Katherine stated as they moved behind John. "Wakey, wakey John." She taunted as Drake began to chant.
John's eyes shot open before he got up from the floor. He moved like a doll and Drake was the puppeteer. She watched as he marched his way up thr stairs and out of the tomb.
Finishing his chant Drake sighed, "There, your secret escape remains a secret." He said confidently before turning to his sister, "And the new occupants as well."
Hearing the wolves wake up the twins made their way to the doorway. They watched silently as the pack stood up one by one. Hearing the groans of confusion the twins laughed catching their attention.
"Hey Jules." Katherine raised her hand with a mocking wave towards the Alpha, "Let me introduce myself properly I'm Katherine, Katherine Pierce."
Jules had a sudden look of realization before rushing the twins only to come face first with an invisible wall. She stumbled back before the horrified look of realization settled in. Drake took a step foreword and leaned against the doorway. Jules' eyes burned gold as Drake smirked at the pack.
"You're not getting out anytime soon." He stated confidently, "You see, I made this barrier with blood magic. The only ones that can go in or out are those with Petrova blood and the only one that can break it is a Petrova witch aka me."
Jules glared at the pair,n"What do you want? Where's Tyler?!" She demanded.
Drake gave her a sly smile before he raised his hand. Suddenly one of the werewolves screamed in pain. The whole pack looked at him in shock before his chest burst open and his heart flew across the tomb. Drake caught the heart with ease and laughed at the shocked and horrified looks from the pack.
"Now, watch your tone." He warned mockingly, "As for your questions, Tyler's fine better than fine actually. You see unlike you I actually helped the kid and in return he helped orchestrate your little brawl against the Salvatores."
Brady, Jules' pack mate and boyfriend, stepped foreword, "You're lying."
"Are we though?" Katherine asked mockingly, "The only one that witch didn't knock out was Tyler."
"Why? Why would Tyler side with you?" Jules asked, watching her tone to avoid the death of another member of her pack.
Drake answered smugly, "Because I gave him something you couldn't. I helped him control the shift."
The she-wolf shook her head, "Impossible."
"Nothing's impossible for a hybrid." Drake laughed before he raised his hand again causing the whole pack to flinch gaining another laugh from the hybrid, "Calm down, quit being so serious. Besides, if I were you I'd be more worried about each other."
Katherine sent them a little wave before Drake waved his hand putting the door back where it was.
"Now It's time for the real trouble to begin."
