It had been over two weeks since the disaster that was the fight in the mystic grill, in those two weeks no one saw hind, nor hair of Hadrian, and whilst Elena was adamant at sticking to her deal, the others were not, Damon and Stefan were constantly looking for ways to get around this, they thought if they knew more about the Originals, they may have been able to bargain, this idea hit a dead end, after coming back from the fight, Rose had disappeared, none knew where she went. Jeremy was helping Bonnie looking for any magical spell that could, one that would either stop an Original, or protect Elena when the time came, Caroline was still trying to help Tyler, but was constantly being rebuffed, it became even worse when he discovered the existence of Vampires, she was still reeling over that.

It was a busy Saturday afternoon at the mystic grill, as Stefan and Caroline were eating, she decided to bring up the whole Tyler thing, "So, don't hate me, but Tyler knows", at this Stefan nearly choked on his cola, as he looked up and saw the seriousness on Caroline's face, he nearly began to hit his head on the table they were sat on, "What do you mean he knows",

"He knows I'm Vampire, I mean he didn't outright say it, but he was pretty much there," She said, trying to finish speaking even quicker towards the end, before she could speak Stefan quickly interrupted, "He doesn't know about the rest of us, does he ".

"No", Stefan let out a laarge breath of release, although it was slightly too soon, "I mean I don't think so". Stefan stared at Caroline, almost incredulously, "How does he know", She had to admit, she didn't know, "I don't know, but we cant tell Damon, he would kill him"

"Of course, he would Caroline, he's a Werewolf" he finished under his breath, conscious of those around them, "With everything that is going on, of course he would take him out, and for good reason, you saw Rose, a single bite and you're dead, and I don't think Hadrian would heal us as he did for Rose".

"So what do we do" Caroline added, slowly sipping her drink, "ill talk to him, Don't tell Damon"

Obviously" Carole said, with a slight eye roll.

After finishing their food and walking away from each other, Caroline was about to get to her Car, when none other than Tyler appeared, he looked very serious, no sense of humor or smile could be seen, "Hey Tyler", Caroline received no response, before she could follow up, she felt a sudden pain in the back of her head, her eyes went black, sand he fell to the floor, as she fell, the form of an overly large bald man appeared behind her, he simply nodded to Tyler, picked up Caroline and chucked her into the back of his Pickup.

...

Tyler was sitting at his desk, thinking about what he had learned, not only were Vampires real, but they had killed his Uncle, he Hated Caroline,s he appeared to be a friend and to help, when at the same time, she had helped kill his Uncle, before he could think more he heard a creak on the floorboard in front of him, as he looked up, he saw Stefan Salvatore, thinking quickly he ran to the open door, before he could even get halfway there he was pushed against the wall before he could do anything the voice of Carol Lockwood heard "Tyler, honey, I'm heading out" Before he could speak, Stefan held his hand over his mouth, as he did his eyes darkened, back veins appeared under his eyes and fangs appeared from his Canines, "Say anything and I will kill her", Tyler kept silent. After getting no response, Carol soon left, as soon as he heard the door close, Tyler began to struggle, all this got him was Stefan holding him against the wall with even more force, "your strong Tyler, but not that strong, not without a full moon" Seeing as he would get nowhere, he gave up, as he did Stefan stopped holding him, before he could make a move, Stefan forced him to sit at the Desk. "We need to talk Tyler".

"What happened to Mason" It was all Tyler wanted to know, but Stefan wasn't speaking, he just looked at Tyler, "Listen Tyler, I don't want this, to become something that it doesn't have to be, I mean we go to the same school, we have the same friends, this doesn't have to end bloody"

"I thought all Vampires hated werewolves", "That's just some throwback from a long time ago, but it doesn't have to be that way anymore, this can work Tyler, this is your home, it's my home too, this can work, I want it to work"

Before Tyler could answer, his phone rang, he quickly answered it and screamed for help, Stefan quickly sped over and ripped the phone from his hand, breaking a few fingers as he did so, as he looked at the caller ID, he looked back to Tyler, "Who's number was that" as he got no response, he threw the phone back onto the desk "Dammit Tyler I'm trying to save your life"

...

Caroline woke up in a daze, pain radiating through her body, as she looked around she could see she was in a small cage, as she looked down she was a large bald man sitting in front of her, what really got her attention was the gun, as the man looked at her, he just smiled, "This is going to be a long night sweet pea", he said this he raised the gun before Caroline could speak a bullet impacted her right shoulder, all she could do was scream in pain.

As the bullet was pushed out as her body healed, the man looked down on her in such a way it give her chills, once again he just smiled, "This will be fun", he raised the gun again and shut her through the lung, Caroline couldn't even scream, as the bullet had thankfully passed through her it healed quicker, she could suddenly breathe again, before she could sigh in relief she felt electric coursing through her body, as her body and muscles spasm she began to scream so loud she was sure people in the next town could have heard her, suddenly it stopped, and as she lay on the ground, at the back of the cage, the man just looked down at the large cattle prod, and again, just smiled.

...

As this was happening Stefan was still sitting with Tyler trying to get it through his thick skull that this didn't have to end in blood before he could speak again his phone ran, as he looked down he saw it was from Caroline, quickly answering "Hey Caroline, are you okay". what he heard back was not Caroline, it was more sinister.

"That all depends, how badly do you want to keep her alive" Hearing this Stefan stood, looking back at his phone to check he hadn't made a mistake, as he put the phone back to his ear "Who is this" he quietly asked.

"Ask your brother, where Tyler", as she spoke her voice began to more recognizable,

"Jules", as he said this Tyler looked sharply up, but with a look of confusion more than anything, "Where Caroline"

"She is right here, would you like proof" as she said this all Stefan heard was a much quieter, "He wants proof" Suddenly a gunshot was heard and Caroline could be heard screaming on the other, end, as his heart began to beat faster and blood filled his ears in anger, "Hurt her again, and your dead"

Even as menacing as this sounded, Jules's reply was, almost chirpy, "I hurt her again, and she's dead, this is the deal, bring Tyler to me, and she won't be, come to the Wickary fall's, you have twenty minutes or you'll never find her body"

Before he could speak the line went dead, hearing this brought a new feeling, Rage, he swiftly looked over to Tyler, who was strill looking confused, that was replaced with fear when Stefans began to move towards him, as he did his sclera filled with blood and his fangs extended.

...

In the clearing out the in the wood stood an old run RV, before it stood Jules, who had begun to pace, before she suddenly stopped, as he turned to the opening "I know you are out there, come on out" As she said this Stefan walked out, with him, was a scared-looking Tyler, who was being held in a very strong grip. As Stefan entered the clearing he asked "Wheres caroline" he couldn't see her anywhere, "On she's looked uptight" Jules said, with a slight nod back to the RV.

"Well, you bring her out, and I release Tyler, this doesn't have to get messy", before Jules could respond Damon walked in, with his usual level of swagger, "Oh my brother the peacemaker" As he spoke he was finally level with Stefan, "now seeing as my brother got here a little before me, I'm going to let him his way, before I result to my way, which is a little bloodier" as he said this, a bloodthirsty grin appeared on his face. "So I suggest you give us Caroline".

"Give me Tyler, and you can have the pretty little blond", Damon starting to get annoyed added "Gives us Caroline, without a full moon your no match and you know it, we will take you" before anyone could say Anything Jules just smirked, and suddenly she gave out a loud whistle, as she did multiple people starting coming out of the surrounding Forrest, they were all brandishing stakes and weapons, one Damon noticed, even had a flame thrower, as Damon looked around as saw they were trapped, he looked to Tyler "You heard her lassie, Get over there"

As Tyler walked over Caroline was dragged out, she was covered in blood, her body bruised where it couldn't heal anymore without more blood, at the site of her both Stefan, and suprisingly Damon felt rage, before they could grab her and get out the larger man, who was holding Caroline spoke "Which one of you killed Mason", Silence rang through the clearing, as Damon let out a little cough "oh, yea, that would be me", he added by lifting his hand in the air. At this, the bald man nodded "Good, make him suffer".

As the others began to enclose Damon and Stefan, Damon looked to his brother, "We can take them", as Stefan looked around the clearing and at the sheer number of people he added, "I'm not so sure". Before anyone could begin, the wind suddenly picked up, Thundering clouds appeared overhead, and the trees that surrounded them began to crack, as though gravity was suddenly too much for the trees to handle, as it did Ozone filled the air, to Stefan and Damon it was confusing, but all Caroline could feel was relief. "Hello boys", as they heard the voice, all of them looked to Hadrian Mikaelson, who was walking towards the group from behind them, as he began to walk towards them they noticed the bloody heart in his hand, as he followed their eyesight, he let out a little grimace "Yea, some idiot tried to stop me". As he stood next to the boys, he looked around the clearing, as he did he let out a small whistle, "a lot of wolves out tongnight" As he finished looking around he stopped when he saw the condition of Caroline, as he did the Thunder began even louder, the trees began to crumble in on themselves, but the true tell of his rage. His eyes were glowing brightly.

Hadrian let out a small smile to Caroline "Don't worry, it will all be over soon", as he finished the wolves all began to laugh, suddenly Jules stepped forward, feeling braver than she had any right to be, "looky here boys, another Vampire to add to the list" at this the rest of the wolves began to laugh and nod. Before anyone could move Hadrian turned to look at the man holding Caroline, as he did he pointed to him, "You will die last" as he said this he spun back around and looked at the Salvatore brothers, both of whom were looking and an odd assortment of happy that he was here, and slightly more terrified that he was, with a smile he said "Enjoy the show boys", before anyone could react Hadrian moved, suddenly two of the wolves scream out and their hearts were ripped from their chest, seeing this the wolves began to charge at Hadrian, who let out a small laugh and sped over the masses. All anyone could see was a mass of wolves converging on Hadrian, before either Salvatore could move to help, the wolves all began to scream, holding their heads, as they did they all began to kneel on the floor, unable to stand due to the pain they were experiencing, as blood poured from their eyes and ears, suddenly they stopped, they made no more sound, they simply fell to the side. Dead.

As Hadrian walked away from the now fallen wolves that had surrounded him, he noticed there were now only wound 5 wolves left, as he surveyed the damage, he looked to the large bald man, and with a click of his fingers, he was thrown back and stuck to the side of the wall of the RV, as he was thrown Caroline was suddenly let free, before Hadrian could start again the rest of the wolves scattered, running as fast as they can before they too were killed.

As soon as the rest of the wolves cleared, the thunder was gone, the trees were no longer groaning, and all that could be heard was a small wince in pain, as Caroline had fallen to the floor, unable to stand under he own weight, before Stefan could even move, Hadrian was crouched next to her, "Hello Love", he said smiling down on her, Caroline looked up to him, "How did you know to come",

With another smile, Hadrian placed his hand over Caroline's forehead, as he did it began to glow a soft white, and with that, her body began to heal, "You didn't show up to our appointment, I got worried, luckily I caught the end of the conversation of what was happening". As she was healing, all Stefan, Damon, and Tyler could do was look in amazement at the magic being performed in front of them, soon they were distracted by the struggling groan coming from the man who was still trapped at the side of the RV, as they looked Hadrian stood and with him so did Caroline, as Hadrian began to stalk to the man, he looked over to Caroline, "He was the one who did all of this, yes", Caroline simply nodded, feeling ashamed and weak again, she hadn't felt that since she was turned, and hated the feeling.

Hadrian looked back at the man, as he did the man fell to the ground on his knees, before he could stand, he looked up and stared up at Hadrian in horror, this turned into terror as Hadrian's eyes began to glow, as they did Lightning streamed out of Hadrian's hand and struck the werewolf, all he could do was stay kneeling and scream in pain, to Damon all he could feel was slight relief that it not him on the end, as he continued to see Lightning stream from Hadrian's hand before it continuously stuck the werewolf, leaving a bright light blue glow silhouetting those in the clearing.

Before long Hadrian stopped, the flesh of the man was beginning to blacken and peel off, all the hair the man had, had been singed and begun to slightly burn, as he stopped he looked at Caroline, he knew that look, the feeling of helplessness, he walked over to Caroline, picked up her hand and gave her a small smile, hand in hand Hadrian pulled her over the kneeling, whining wolf and asked: "would you like the honors". At this Caroline looked in horror, before slowly that look added, as she began to remember the feeling of pain and fear he had caused her, as she was feeling this a strange smile formed on Caroline's face, suddenly she sped back into the RV, she soon came out, but this time with a gun, the same gun that had been used to torture her, as she stood back to Hadrian, she looked at him, he could see the hesitation in her eyes, he simply looked at her without judgment, steeling her resolve, Caroline looked back at the kneeling man, with that she pulled the trigger, a loud gunshot was heard and birds scattered in the surrounding trees, as the man fell down with a small hole through his head, he was dead.

All Hadrian did was nod to her, and with a small smile held out his hand, with a slight moment of hesitation, she took it, as she did Hadrian looked back to the Salvatore brothers, "I made Elena a deal, and I stick to my deals" With that Hadrian and Caroline vanished, leaving both brothers to stare in confusion as to what happened, and with Tyler, who was frozen where he had stood, simply staring at the what was left of the men who had been here.
