I woke up feeling warm and comfortable. I opened my eyes and saw that my head was resting on Damon's chest with my right arm lying across his abdomen and chest. He had one arm draped over my waist that made me stay closer to his side.
"Morning sleeping beauty." I looked up to see Damon with one of his arms underneath his head and he was staring directly at me.
"Were you watching me sleep the entire night?" I asked him groggily, still trying to wake up.
"No, but I woke up to this and didn't want to ruin it." He answered truthfully as he started to rub my arm with his hand that was on my waist.
"So what exactly does this make us?" I asked propping myself up with my elbows.
"Well after last night I don't want to go back to being just friends." He took his hand and tucked some loose hair behind my ear.
"So you want to give this a try? Us together as in a couple?" I asked to make sure. On the inside I felt that same magnetic pull suddenly get stronger as I said that.
"Yes and I promise it will work." He assured with a small smirk.
"You seem pretty sure about that." I couldn't help but smile at the idea of us being boyfriend and girlfriend.
"That's because I'm right." He used his arm to prop himself up and met me in a kiss.
That's when I remembered about having to help set up at the Lockwood Mansion. I pulled away from the kiss, which Damon groaned in resistance, and got out of bed.
"I'm helping set up the Lockwood Mansion for the Masquerade Party and I need to get ready now so I can make it on time." I explained as I grabbed some clothes from my dresser.
"You do know Mason will be there." Damon reminded as he put his shoes back on.
"I know that's why I'm making sure that my anger is in check today. I don't want to lash out like I did yesterday." I explained.
"If he touches you again, I'll be quick to deal with him." Damon assured as he wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed my forehead.
"And by deal with him you mean snapping his neck?" I asked.
"Mmhmm" It was easy to figure out what Damon meant by "deal with".
"Okay I have to get ready so that means you have to go." I said slipping out of his grasp and entered the master bathroom so I could shower and get ready.
"Have fun setting up." He called out as he left the house.
I was helping taking out old antiques from boxes and placing it around the tables and I noticed Stefan doing the same.
"Hey Stefan." I greeted sending him a smile, placing an old candle holder on the table.
"Hey Allye." He returned the greeting and returned my smile with a grin.
"So when did you and Elena start fighting, I was kinda thrown off by it yesterday at the picnic." I asked.
"Huh you can say Katherine is starting to get underneath our skin." Stefan said sighing, placing candles in the candle holder.
"That has to suck, to me you and Elena make a cute couple." I said smiling and Stefan smiled lightly and chuckled.
"Thanks Allye, so I heard my brother visited you last night." Stefan said grinning and I looked at him shocked.
"Who told you that, the only person I told was…Elena." I told Elena what happened last night and apparently she told Stefan.
"Just be careful around him, he can snap sometimes." Stefan warned.
"He's not the only one who will snap from anger. A prime example is what happened yesterday." I said letting out a big sigh.
"I wasn't too happy about it either." Stefan said as both of us walked out to the back yard and headed to one of the stands. I grabbed a plastic crate that held wine glasses and carefully set it on the stand.
"Hale, Stefan I'm surprised to see you two here." I clenched my jaw hearing Mason's voice.
"Yeah I had a little accident yesterday, but I'm fine." Stefan said simply.
"How's your hand? You got it hurt pretty bad." I asked innocently.
"It's a little sore but I'll live. Where's Sheriff Forbes?" Mason asked looking between Stefan and me.
"She's fine too and this time you'll have to do your own dirty work." Stefan said sending him a fake smile.
"I'll keep that in mind." Mason said as he turned around then bumped into Bonnie who was walking over to us. Bonnie looked back Mason then over to us and Stefan walked from behind the stand.
"You alright?" I asked.
"I'm fine…it's just I saw something when he bumped into me." Bonnie started.
"Like a vision?" Stefan asked.
"I saw Elena…and they were kissing." Both mine and Stefan's eye brows furrowed.
"Elena? There's no way she would do something like that." I said shaking my head.
"No not Elena…you saw Katherine." That made more sense.
"Hey sorry to interrupt this little chit chat, but Stefan can I talk to you?" I turned around to see Damon standing behind us.
"Sure, excuse me." Stefan said walking away from Bonnie and I and followed his brother.
"It was nice seeing you again Bonnie, I'm gonna help out around here some more." I said touching her shoulder.
"Yeah…sure." She was staring me down, my guess she saw another vision but with me this time.
I was helping at another station when I heard my phone go off, I pulled it out of my pocket and the front screen was labeled unknown caller.
"Hello?" I said answering it.
"Do you know where Mason is?" I recognized Damon's voice right away.
"Yeah he's right across from me and I don't remember giving you my number." I said confused.
"I may have stole your phone last night and enter your number into my phone." I rolled my eyes at that, "I need you to lure Mason out front so we can knock him out."
"Consider it done."
"That's my girl. I'll meet you out front."
I hung up the phone and walked over to Mason and he turned toward me seeing me coming.
"Need something Hale?" He asked with bitterness in his tone.
"A new truck just came out front and Carol told me to come get you to help us lift the heavy stuff." I explained to him.
"Fine but I'm only helping because Carol asked me to." I rolled my eyes at Mason but followed him out front. Once we were at the front yard he look around confused.
"What new truck?" He asked confused.
"My mistake." I put my hands around his neck and jerked my hands, I heard a popping noise and he fell to the unconscious.
"Whoa I said lure him, not kill him!" I heard Damon say as he, Stefan, and Bonnie came out of hiding.
"He's not dead he's unconscious. I hit a pressure point in his neck." I assured them.
"How'd you learn that?" Bonnie asked as Damon put Mason in the back of Mason's truck.
"My brother taught me." I answered.
"Come on get in." Damon told Bonnie.
"Wait if you're going to interrogate him, I think I have just the thing that could make him talk." I suggested.
"Like what?" Damon asked interested.
"Wolfsbane, I have some stashed away in a safe at my place." I answered.
"Get it and come over to the boarding house." Damon instructed, I nodded and left to go find my car.
I rushed upstairs and went into one of the guest bedrooms that use to be Laura's room when we use to stay here. I gently took off the huge portrait of wild horses and revealed a safe inside the wall. I entered the combination and opened it and there was some extra cash in it as well as some weapons that could kill Werewolves. Laura always kept these things around just in case a rouge Werewolf tried to kill us for invading territory. I grabbed a piece of Wolfsbane from the back of the safe and tucked it into my jacket pocket. I closed the safe and hung the portrait back up and rushed back down stairs.
I parked my car in front of the boarding house and walked towards the house just as Bonnie and Caroline left.
"Hey where you guys going?" I asked stopping.
"We're going to try and find the Moonstone. You want to come with us?" Bonnie asked.
"I would love to but I was kinda looking forward to interrogating Mason." I answered, they nodded and I opened the door and walked into the house.
"Damon?" I called out in the house.
"In here!" I followed where I heard his voice and I saw a bloody Mason chained up to a chair and Damon was heating a fire poker in the fire.
"I can't believe you tricked me like that Hale." I heard Mason sneer at me.
"Well if memory serves you tried to kill Damon and Stefan yesterday. You have to admit you kinda had this coming." I pulled the Wolfsbane out of my pocket and Mason stared at it intently knowing what it was.
"You got it." Damon stated the obvious and walked over to me with the fire poker still in his hands.
"Told you I had some." I stated, giving the Wolfsbane to him.
"Thank you my dear." Damon gave me a kiss on the cheek then walked back over to Mason.
"So you're really dating a Vampire? And you call yourself a Werewolf." Mason scoffed.
"Like you're one to talk, you're with Katherine." I said crossing my arms and leaning against the fireplace.
"You know Hale. I know why you're so bitter now." Mason started.
"Oh this I would love to hear. Whatever my brother told you in the past was probably a lie." I informed him.
"So you're family being burned alive in the basement of your home six years ago was a lie?" My eyes went wide, how did he know about that?
"How do you know about that?" I asked getting serious.
"You should know, you were the one that told me a Werewolf can transfer its memories by stabbing their claws into the neck." I forgot about stabbing him with my claws yesterday. I accidentally transferred my memories.
"You can do that?" Damon asked looking at me.
"One of the perks of being a Werewolf. I was so angry yesterday I accidentally transferred my memories to Mason. I'm sure you probably want some answers from me. So how about a trade off? You tell us where the Moonstone is and I'll answer any question you have for me. Sound fair?" I plucked the Wolfsbane from Damon's hand and knelt down to Mason's level, twirling the Wolfsbane between my fingers.
"What if I don't?" Mason asked gulping and I heard his heart beat increase.
"We both know how painful Wolfsbane is but its worse for your species since it burns you just by touching it. But it hurts a lot worse when it gets underneath your skin and into your bloodstream." I flexed my hand and my fingernails were now claws. I cut his arm and dug the Wolfsbane into the cut and Mason jerked in the chair and howled in pain feeling the Wolfsbane enter the open wound.
"Tell us where the Moonstone is and she'll remove the Wolfsbane." Damon demanded Mason, who was still withering in pain.
"You know as well as I do that wounds won't heal with Wolfsbane stuck in it." I reminded Mason keeping the Wolfsbane in the open cut.
"It's in the well!" Mason yelled out and I pulled the Wolfsbane out and the wound instantly healed without the Wolfsbane in it.
"What does Katherine want with it?" Damon demanded once again.
"To break the curse." Mason panted out from the lingering pain.
"The curse of the moon? Why would she do that?" Damon asked.
"Because she loves me." Damon started to chuckle.
"Now I see it, you're completely stupid! She's using you, she just wants the stone." Damon fired back.
"And I love her." Mason fired back at Damon.
"Of course you do, I know what it's like I've been in the same position as you once. Thinking she loved me and I loved her back, but she was just using me." Damon sounded hurt as he told Mason this. Katherine really did break his heart.
"Allye, you have to promise me that this will never happen to Tyler. I don't want this to happen to him. Promise me that you'll protect him." I haven't heard Mason say my first name since we first met. So his dying wish was for me and he wanted me to stop Tyler from becoming a Werewolf.
"I promise." I told him and Damon ended his life by ripping his heart out.
"You okay?" Damon asked looking at me.
"Yeah, I'm going to stop by the Lockwood Mansion. I think it's about time Tyler knows about his family history, what should I say about Mason?" I asked sighing as I ran a hand through my hair.
"That he went back to Florida and be careful, Tyler has a temper." Damon warned putting his hands on either side of my face.
"I know he does, every Werewolf does." I answered putting my hands on top of his. Damon surprised me by suddenly dipping his head and catching me in a kiss. This one was different from the one last night it held a lot more passion. Something I didn't expect from Damon. He broke off the kiss and the pads of his thumbs rubbed against both of my cheeks.
"I'll be fine." I assured him as I took his hands away from my face and made my way to the front door.
I walked up to the Lockwood Mansion and knocked on the door. Seconds later Carol opened the door, "Allye, did you leave something?" She asked.
"No um I have a message from Mason for Tyler. I ran into him before he left for Florida and he told me it was urgent for Tyler to hear it." I lied.
"Oh just one second. Tyler honey, can you come down here?" Carol called throughout the house.
"Yeah mom?" Tyler asked from atop the stair case.
"Allye's here, she says she has a message from Mason for you." This caught Tyler's attention and he came down the stairs.
"Come on in Allye." Tyler said as Carol left to go upstairs.
"Thanks do you mind if we talk somewhere more private? It's serious and I don't think he wanted your mom to know the message." I asked him.
"Follow me." He led me to his father's office and closed the doors, "So what's the message?" He asked patting the sides of his jeans with his hands.
"It's about your Werewolf powers." Tyler tensed and he seemed to get angry by mentioning that.
"You know about that? I told Mason I wasn't going to become one!" Tyler argued.
"I know. Mason doesn't want it for you either. He wants me to look after you though." I answered calmly.
"Why you?" Tyler asked staring at me confused.
"Because I'm a Werewolf." My eyes glowed crimson red and Tyler looked at me shocked, "With Mason gone back to Florida, I'm the only one that will able to handle your rage fits. I know how they get, you black out with rage and you get all this strength from it. But unlike Mason I've learned to control my Werewolf powers. If worse comes to worse and you DO become a Werewolf, I can teach you to live with it." I told him and my eyes went back to their normal emerald green color.
"I won't become one!" Tyler assured shaking his head.
"You don't know that, with your kind it only takes one little accident!" I raised my voice a little bit.
"My kind?" He asked confused.
"I'm guessing Mason never told you that there is two different species of Werewolf. You might want to sit down because I'm about to explain everything, and I mean everything." I instructed him.
Well it looks like Mason's dying wish is for Tyler to be protected. Allye makes that promise but how long can she hold it for? Stay tune for chapter 6!
