A/N: Hey everyone!

Here's the next chapter! Hope you like this. I know I said I will update sooner. Sorry, life got in way. And I also want to say, I am sorry for less DELENA. Originally, I planned the chapter to be pure DELENA but then I realised FORBEWOOD haven't came for too long. So, that's why the less DELENA. But don't worry the next chapter will have DELENA, SPELL, FORBEWOOD. You will get DELENA and also get to know Damon's past.

I don't own 'The Vampire Diaries'.

Salvatore Boarding House

"Elena, we need to talk to you." Caroline said and walked out with Bonnie hot on her tail. I sighed and followed them. Why are they having problem? I want to help Damon. Is that so hard to understand? Really?

"Elena, what are you doing?" Caroline demanded as soon as we were out of the house, and at a fair distance so that no vampire ears can pry on us.

"I am trying to help Damon." I stated annoyed.

"We know that. But did you forget Stefan is your boyfriend?" Bonnie accusingly questioned.

"And did you forget, we broke up?" I asked back.

"Because of Katherine." Caroline stated,"Tell me if I am wrong, but you weren't planning on breaking up with him before Katherine came in the picture."

"Umm." I said biting my lips.

"Yes, Elena?"

"I will talk to Stefan." I stated simply,"And it's not like I am sleeping with Damon or something."

"One minute, why would you talk to Stefan. Shouldn't you say, I get what you are saying. I will not be the human to bind." Caroline demanded.

"C'mon Care, that had nothing to do with this. I am doing this to help him. This will change nothing."

"Elena, we both know that's not true. This. Will. Change. EVERYTHING." She shirked.

"How? I am just helping him. And if you have forgot, Stefan is Damon's brother and he also don't want him to hurt."

"That's not what we are trying to say, Elena. What we are trying to say is that, you will be bind to Damon. Even though I hate the guy's guts, but we know when one live so long he goes through everything, good and bad. You will share his all important memories. Do you thing that will change nothing?" I was going to say,'No, it wouldn't' but Bonnie continued,"First think, then answer. Do you really think knowing his memories won't change a thing?" Bonnie asked.

Would it? I questioned myself. Would knowing Damon change anything?

Of course it would. You would come to know why he is the way he is. You will break his hard cover that he pulls up in front of everyone.

"Yes." I finally answered.


"Stefan, can we talk?" I asked him as we re-entered the boarding house.

"Yes, what is it?" He questioned worried.

"Alone." I stated and started moving to his room.

"What happened? Is everything alright?" Stefan shot as soon as we were in his room.

"Nothing happened. I just wanted to know how you feel about the spell?" I enquiried,"Do you think we can survive this?"

"Honestly? I don't." He replied in a heavy voice.

"Me too." I said not meeting his eyes.

"So, this is it?" Stefan asked after some minutes of silence.

"I guess." I spoke after a moment of silence,"But, I still want you in my like. As a friend. Very good friend."

"I will always be here. It will take time for thing to go back to normal. But you will always have me." I smiled.


Mystic Falls High School

Tyler was on the basketball court, shooting hoops. As he shot for a basket and missed one hoop, Matt approached him, grabbing the basketball on the way and carrying it toward Tyler.

"Hey man, how you doing?" Matt asked.

"Good, you?" Tyler answered and questioned back.

"I'm pissed at myself for picking a fight with you. And feeling guilty for what happened to Lara. I mean, I've been dodging you for days because I didn't know what to say to you." Matt apologised.

"Don't worry about it, man." Tyler told him.

"I'm really sorry. Please know that." Matt handed Tyler the basketball and walked away. After a few steps, Caroline approaches Matt. He stopped when he saw her.

"Matt." Caroline acknowledged.

"Hey." He greeted back.

"How are you?" She asked genuinely concerned.

"I- I've been better. I gotta- I gotta get to class." Matt stumble upon his words and quickly walked away.

"Okay." Caroline said when he was gone with sadness. Then she walked over to Tyler.

"You two still on the outs?" Tyler asked.

"Looks like it. You realize tomorrow night's a full moon?" Caroline asked him changing the topic.

"Vampires don't have enough problems, you want to take on mine?" He asked.

"Have you even thought about it? The whole... wolf thing? Do you know what you're gonna do?" Caroline questioned changing the topic.

"I have a plan." He said shortly. When he made no move to explain further she asked,"Well…?"

"Kind of private." He said and blushed a little.

"I'm student council vice president, head of the prom committee, not to mention I single-handedly organized this town's clean up campaign. And you're really gonna turn down my help?" She demanded and they both laughed.


The Woods...

Tyler and Caroline were walking through the woods towards the Lockwood Cellar.

"Matt's bumming pretty hard." Tyler informed Caroline.

"I know. It's better this way." Caroline told him.

"I get it." He told her.

"You do?" Caroline asked surprised. No-one understands, how could he?

"Yeah. You can't be honest with him." At this Caroline stopped and looked at Tyler who has stopped as well,"It's not really fair to be with someone and not really let them know who you are. I get it." He said and started to walk again and Caroline followed him.

"Right over here. There's a cellar that goes to our old property." Tyler informed her when they could see it.

"I know." Caroline said.

"You do?"

"I know that this is the old Lockwood property." Tyler looked at her skeptically but headed down the steps of the Cellar.

"Watch your step." Tyler told her as she followed him. Tyler turned on a flashlight as they enter the Cellar and moved the beam of light around the room.

"I'm guessing this is where Mason was headed the night he turned. It's this way." Tyler said and headed deeper into the Cellar with Caroline cautiously entering behind him.

"Did Mason tell you about this place?" Caroline asked.

"Mason bolted before I triggered the curse, but I found these." Tyler said and shined the beam of light at a part of the cave. Caroline walked into the Cellar and looks at where the beam of light has landed. Three deep scratches run across the wall there. Just like the claws of a wolf.

"Whoa. They look old." Caroline said. Tyler continued shining the light further down the wall at a pair of rusty chains.

"And these bolts and chains. I need new chains, but the bolts could still hold." He said and garbed the ring around the bolt and pulls it hard, showing Caroline how resistant they were."I think that's what this place was used for. Full moons." Then Caroline and Tyler proceed to glance around the cave. Caroline walked forward and spotted something in a nook.

"What's this?" Caroline asked garbing an item wrapped in a piece of cloth and walks back over to Tyler.

"I have no idea." Tyler said. Caroline unwraps the cloth around what appeared to be a journal. She takes it out of the cloth and hands it to Tyler.

"Was it Mason's?" Caroline asked and Tyler took the journal from her and flipped through the pages. He stopped at a page and begins to read out loud from it.

"August 31 - My body is changing. I'm edgy, angry, impatient. I get so mad, I black out and forget what I say or do. I'm not myself, not since Jimmy's death. What's happening to me?" Tyler flipped further back into the journal and glanced up at Caroline and said,"He chronicled everything." Tyler then stopped at a page and read more from it,"The full moon is tonight."

"Well, does he say what happened?" Caroline asked. Tyler flipped the page and sees a memory stick taped to the page of the journal. He slide it out of its place and held it in his hand, looking at it and then up at Caroline. Both of them were puzzled.


I had just finished telling Damon about the spell and he is surprisingly silent. I wish I was Edward Cullen, could know what is going on his mind. I was hopping he won't refuse this. Well, he doesn't have a choice. We am doing this either he agrees or not. I won't see him hurt and if this is the way I could save him, then so be it.

"Why?" He asked.

"What why?" I questioned back confused.

"Why you?"

"'Cause I am your friend and I don't wanna loose you."

"No, that's not what I meant. I want to ask, why you? Why not Jeremy or Alaric?" He clarified.

"Jer, he's a child. I would like his eyes somewhat innocent." I told him.

"I would like to keep your eyes somewhat innocent." He said back.

"No, I have seen enough. I don't think my eyes are as innocent as you think." I reasoned.

"Alaric? His eyes are less innocent that yours." He demanded.

"You killed his wife. You killed him. And both of you are just getting along, I don't want anything to break your friendship again." I explained.

"I don't want to break my friendship with you because of some stupid mistake I made in past." He said vulnerably.

"Hey," I said cupping his face in my hands,"You won't loose me, specially because of something you did in past."

"You are saying that now. What will happen when you see those memories in which I am monster. When my humanity switch was 'off'. You will hate me, loath me, be afraid of me. I don't want that. I want you to stay just like you are."

"You will never loose me. I promise." I said and hugged him tightly.


Forbes' House

Caroline and Tyler were sitting on a couch in the living room. Tyler has his laptop out and he inserts the memory card into the flash-drive. A video starts to play.

"It's September 15- 2 hours from the first full moon since I triggered the curse" Mason voiced said from the screen

"He taped his first transformation." Tyler said and paused the video and looked over at Caroline, who had Mason's journal, flipped through the pages.

"Um... There's nothing." Caroline said but the she found something and held the journal towards Tyler, pointing at the page," September 16th, he wrote about everything the next day." Tyler then fast forwarded through the video as Caroline reads aloud from the journal,"I chose the garage. I could deadbolt the door. It was far from the street so no one could hear. I bolted hooks to the floor for the carabiners." Tyler slowed the video down and watched,"Like for mountain climbing?" Tyler speed the video up again,"Retractable cables." He said, and slowed down the tape to a part where Mason is drinking a golden liquid from a water bottle. Mason sputters and coughs, kneeling on the ground.

"What's he doing?" He questioned Caroline.

"It's... wolfsbane." She continued to read aloud."I diluted wolfsbane with water to weaken myself, but I could barely get it down without puking. It felt like I was drinking battery acid. Over an hour passed and nothing happened. It got so quiet I could hear my own blood pumping. That's when…" On the video, Mason begins to scream in pain, pulling at the cables holding him. Caroline put a hand up to her mouth in shock, but continued reading as Tyler watched the video play out.

"I kept thinking I'd black out and not feel it. But I did. I... I felt all of it" Caroline read. On the video, Mason had fallen to the floor due to the pain he is experiencing. Mason cried and yelled for help.,"How long is it?"

"We're three hours in." Tyler said in a shaky voice. Then he started to fast forward the video,"Four hours," He continued to fast forward the video,"Five hours. How long does this last?" Caroline flipped through the pages again, but doesn't respond. Tyler continued watching the video. Mason's body begins to contort and he yelled even louder now. Tyler, not being able to handle it anymore, pauses the video. He got up, his eyes filled with tears.

"I can't- I can't do that. Caroline, whatever that was, I can't go through that." Tyler spoke, his eyes had unleashed tears in his eyes. Caroline got up and hugged him.


Caroline closed Mason's journal and placed it on a table. They were still in her house. After Tyler's mini-breakdown they continued read his journal,"You know what? I don't think we should read this anymore."

"Why? What did you read?" Tyler asked her.

"There's a… a reason it's called a 'curse', Tyler." She told him. Tyler took the journal from off the table, opens it up, and begins to read aloud.

"Unimaginable pain. I thought it would never end. It was the worst night of my life" Tyler then laughs humourlessly, shuts the diary, slams it down on the table, and sits back down on the couch. Caroline approaches him.

"But… he did say that the transformation speeds up over time." Caroline tried to comfort him. Tyler took a glass of alcohol and drained it in one gulp,"So, if you can just get through this first time, then-" Caroline was saying but Tyler cut her off.

"Why are you helping me?" He asked.

"What do you mean?" She questioned back.

"Why do you care? We've never been friends before." He said.

"That's not true. I've known you my entire life, Tyler. I—" She was saying but again got cut off by Tyler.

"We've never been close. Not like this." Tyler explained further.

"I don't know. You just seem like you… like you kind of need it." Caroline said and sat down next to him,"I was alone when I turned. I had no control over my body or my... urges. And... I killed somebody. I don't want that to happen to you. I don't want you to be alone." Caroline said and Tyler nodded in understanding.
