Wrong

Jade woke up the next morning, head throbbing. She realized this was what she missed least about drinking, the hang over being the worst part. No, the worst part was remembering what all she did. She had fought with Kelly and tossed her out, that wasn't so bad. Then, she remembered kissing Damon, which wasn't bad either. It was great actually and was something she wanted; too bad she went for it drunk and upset.

"Good morning," Matt greeted her with a smirk as she dragged her feet into the kitchen.

"Mmmm," Jade groaned, laying her head on the table.

"Made you breakfast," Matt said, setting some toast next to where her head was. "I gotta get to work," he said now, ruffling her hair. "Feel better."

"Mmmm," Jade groaned again. Soon after Matt left, she felt someone hugging her behind her chair.

"Morning!" Vicki greeted her happily before taking the seat next to her.

"Why are you both so happy this morning?" Jade complained, lifting her head up and picking at her toast.

"Um, because you were awesome last night," Vicki laughed, stealing a piece of toast.

"Then why don't I feel awesome?" Jade asked, massaging her temples.

"Probably the vodka," Vicki said lightly. "Seriously, Jade, you kicking mom out..." She grinned. "That was so cool. She was like 'they're my kids' and you were like 'no they're my kids'."

"I was there," Jade sipped water now.

"Really though," Vicki said seriously now. "No one ever fought for us before. Not dad, not mom." She smiled. "But, you did."

"Well, you're mine now," Jade said, squeezing Vicki's hand on the table. She nodded over at the couch as she let go of her hand. "Why are there sheets on the couch?"

"Damon stayed last night," Vicki grinned and Jade looked surprised. "He was going to see how you were this morning, but we needed um..." She bit her lip. "Breakfast."

"Gotcha," Jade nodded.

"So, you love him," Vicki said casually, unable to miss hearing them kiss last night. "He clearly loves you." She smirked at her sister. "When's the wedding?"

"Bite me," Jade told her.

"Jokes you don't want to make to a vampire," Damon said, having let himself into the house. Jade blushed as Damon handed Vicki her blood bag, knowing he heard the conversation. "How are you feeling this morning champ?" Damon joked to Jade as he sat across from her.

"Sober," Jade pointed out. "So...we need to talk about yesterday."

"I'm gonna go," Vicki said, starting to stand up, thinking it was about Jade and Damon.

"Not that," Jade told her, Vicki slowly sitting back down; she noticed Damon's smirk. "About John Gilbert."

"Oh yeah," Vicki said like she was suddenly remembering. "I mean, not that anyone really likes Jeremy and Elena's uncle..." She trailed off, looking at Damon. "Speaking of, what do I do about Jeremy?"

"Nothing," Damon urged her, having talked about Jeremy wanting to turn after Jade had passed out last night. "The last thing we need is another new vampire," Damon explained, worried about her and Stefan now when it came to control. "Especially with the council so on edge."

"John knows we're vampires?" Vicki asked with worry.

"Knew," Jade corrected and Damon nodded. "Did he tell anyone else?"

"Doubtful," Damon shook his head. "I don't think we'd still be walking around after last night if anyone else knew."

"That's comforting," Vicki muttered sarcastically, taking a drink.

"We've just gotta keep blending in," Damon insisted. "I'll keep working with the council, you keep doing what you're doing," Damon told Vicki; he looked at Jade now. "She's doing really good."

"I know," Jade nodded. "What about your brother?"

"Ah," Damon hesitated. "Still a little up for debate, but he's better."

"Can I talk to you?" Jade asked now, then gave Vicki a look.

"Oh, now I'm gonna go," Vicki half laughed, getting up now. She decided to go see Jeremy, given that he and Elena had just lost their uncle.

"Look," Damon said, getting up to follow Jade over to the sink to refill her glass. "With John missing," he said with air quotes. "I don't think there's much to worry about. Not if I stay friends with Liz Forbes anyway."

"I know," Jade nodded, sipping then setting her glass to the side. "I trust you."

"Then...what's the talk?" Damon asked and she half smiled, not able to believe she was going for it again.

"I'm sober now," Jade reminded him before kissing him again. She felt him smile against her lips before pulling her in tighter, continuing to kiss her deeply.

It was two weeks since the Founder's Party. With Jade and Damon back together, he spent most of his time over at her place. Matt was still skeptical of him, but happy for Jade. Vicki was ecstatic her sister finally got back together with Damon, still trying to keep Jeremy from wanting to turn. With Elena's help, Stefan was doing much better at controlling himself.

Everything seemed to be going well as Damon was keeping an eye on the council, listening for any plans that they had. It was Saturday, with Damon, Jade, and Vicki going into town for the parade Elena, Stefan, Jeremy, and Matt were all in. Afterwards, they were all gathered to watch the fireworks when Damon got pulled aside by Mayor Lockwood.

"Something wrong mayor?" Damon asked him curiously.

"It's happening tonight," Richard said. There had been a plan in the works to take care of the vampire problem once and for all; there were more vampires back in Mystic Falls than Damon had realized. Even within the council, there were only a select few who knew what the plan was and when it was taking place.

"What do you need me to do?" Damon asked now.

"I already sent Tyler home with Matt and Caroline," Richard explained. "The plan is happening tonight because we think the vampires are going to try to attack." He looked over where Jade was walking alone, waiting for Damon to come back. "Get her home, that way you're both safe."

"Absolutely," Damon nodded in agreement, heading Jade's way now. She didn't like the look on his face as he was walking over. "Where's Vicki?"

"She just went home with Jeremy," Jade shrugged, not thinking it was a big deal. "Why?"

"Good," Damon said, taking her hand firmly and leading her away from the crowd. "And Matt left with Tyler. We have to get out of here."

"What, why?" Jade asked in confusion.

"They're taking care of the vampire problem," Damon said, keeping his voice low. "So, we have to get out of here..." As he was saying this, he was still looking around for his brother; and that was when he felt it, the sharp stabbing pain in his head.

Whatever was going on, this must be how they were singling out the vampires. As he fell to the ground, he briefly saw Elena shuffling Stefan away from everyone while he held his head; he hoped they got away. His view of them was blocked though as Jade came falling onto the sidewalk next to him, holding her head and crying in pain. What was wrong with her? He reached for her, but felt things starting to go dark as he was injected with vervain.

"Damon, wake up!" Jade was frantically shaking him awake.

Groggy, Damon opened his eyes, though they immediately burned with smoke. They were in some basement, the other vampires were there as well, the founders setting the building on fire. He saw that Vicki wasn't there and neither was Stefan, and he was happy they got away. He noticed Richard there, wondering what happened to get him and Jade there. They weren't vampires, but what were they?

"You have to get out of here," Damon told her with a weak voice.

"Oh no," Jade protested, grabbing his hand and pulling with everything she had. "I'm not gonna leave you in here."

"Get out," Damon continued, nodding to the basement window.

"I can't," she said, struggling to hold his weight up against her. There was less smoke now, and suddenly Damon was lighter. That was because Stefan was lifting him away, helping him up the stairs while Jade ran up behind them. Bonnie and Elena were waiting outside the door, and Jade remembered that Bonnie was a witch and she must have been the one controlling the flames.

"Are you guys ok?" Elena asked worriedly, looking between them; Jade nodded, looking Damon over.

"What were you doing down there?" Stefan asked Jade now in concern.

"I don't know," Jade said honestly, checking out Damon as he was standing on his own now, getting his strength back.

"We should get you both home," Stefan said now.

They started the drive back to the Salvatore boarding house, with Jade calling Vicki on the way to make sure she was ok. Whatever it was that affected the vampires, she must have been far enough away at Jeremy's house because she wasn't harmed by it. She tried to call Matt now, not that she was as worried because he wasn't a vampire. Then again, neither was she. Matt wasn't answering and she very quickly saw why as they came up on an accident on the road.

"Wait, wait, stop," Jade said quickly as she recognized the car and Elena stopped her car.

"Jade, I don't think you can-" Elena started off, but Jade was already out of the car.

"Matt!" she spotted him standing by an ambulance, rushing over to him.

"Jay," Matt said in surprised, hugging her quickly before letting her go; he was surprised she was there, but happy.

"What happened?" Jade asked worriedly; Damon had gotten out of the car and followed her over.

"I...I don't know," Matt shook his head. "Tyler started freaking out, hearing this noise or something..." Jade noticed Tyler passed out on the ground, the paramedics checking on him. What was going on with the Lockwoods tonight? "And they had to take Caroline to the hospital," he was going on.

"We can take you there," Damon offered now, leading Matt and Jade back to the car.

"Hey," Damon woke Jade up in her hospital chair.

They had all been waiting on news on Caroline's condition. Damon had spoken to Liz, who didn't even know about the plan that night much less that Damon and Jade got taken to the basement too. After talking to Elena and Bonnie, they agreed that it was a good idea to give Caroline some of Damon's blood to help heal her. Stefan had taken Elena home and Bonnie had gone; it was just her, Damon, and Matt at the hospital.

"Hm?" Jade asked sleepily, rubbing her eyes.

"C'mon," he said, helping her up. "I'm gonna take you and Matt home."

It was a long, awkward car ride home though Matt didn't know the reason. Jade and Vicki had contemplated him for awhile, but now with whatever was going on with Jade she wasn't so sure. Things were still quiet as Jade said goodnight to her brother, going into her room with Damon following her. She knew he wanted to talk about it, they hadn't said anything yet. The more she thought about it though, the more it panicked her.

"So," Damon said, sitting on her bed while she started to change out of her clothes. "Are we going to talk about what happened earlier?"

"What?" Jade asked, pulling a t-shirt over her head. "About how there's something wrong with me?"

"There's nothing wrong-" He tried to assure her.

"Sheriff Forbes said they used a device that was going to make the vampires drop," Jade argued with him, then motioned to herself. "Dropped, not a vampire." She shook her head. "And so did the mayor, and Tyler. What does that mean? Vicki always joked about him being my dad...I mean, is that why Mason found me in Florida? Because he's my uncle?" That thought freaked her out as she had spent the better part of high school crushing on him. "And even if that's all true, it still doesn't explain what the hell-"

"Ok," Damon stopped her, getting up now and walking over to her. "The wake is the day after tomorrow, right?" She nodded. "Mason should be there, maybe he'll know something." She nodded in agreement, letting him kiss her once before hugging her. "We'll figure it out," he promised.

Jade paced the Lockwood house nervously, wondering where Mason was. She made polite small talk with Carol, giving her condolences. Damon was telling her to relax, that she was doing the pacing thing that started to make him nervous. Matt came by, telling them that Caroline was doing a lot better. She saw Elena there, wondering why she came alone. Spotting Mason in Richard's office with Tyler though, she didn't think much about it as she set out to get her answers.

"Hi Tyler," Jade said nicely. She had this pit in her stomach as she wondered if he was her half brother. Was she finally going to find out about her dad? "I'm really sorry about your dad."

"Thanks Jade," Tyler nodded at her.

"Um..." Jade wasn't sure where to go from here. "Can I talk to Mason for a second?"

"Ah, sure," Tyler shrugged, leaving the room.

"You ok Jade?" Mason asked, picking up on her weird energy as she shut the door to the office.

"I really don't have the patience to build up to this," Jade was telling him and he raised his eyebrows. "I know about this town, ok? I know about the council, I know about the vampires. I know what happened to your brother and I know what caused Tyler to wreck the other night." She took a deep breath. "And I know because the same thing happened to me." She motioned to herself. "Am I...related to you?"

"Sorry blondie," Mason teased her. It was true, he, his brother, and nephew all had dark features; most of the Lockwoods did. "Look, I kept an eye on you in Florida because we kind of have this sixth sense about other people like us." He shrugged. "That's probably why my brother wanted to watch out for you." Even if his brother didn't know about the family curse, the instincts were all there.

"What are people like us?" Jade asked with raised eye brows.

"You really wanna know?" Mason asked. "Because, when I tell you-"

"Just tell me," Jade interrupted impatiently.

"You're a werewolf," Mason told her.
