Ch.3;

Caroline POV

"Did you get the wolfbane?" Tyler asked as i reached the Lockwood cellar. It had been a day since Tyler had come to me for help. If I were the person I was before I turned into a vampire then I would have rather poked my eyes out than spend a night with him in a creepy cellar, let alone help him through his wolf transformation. Damon's right, he is a tool but he needs me right now.

"Caroline," Tyler said breaking my trail of thought.

"Huh? Oh... yeah... I have it," I said as I reached into my bag and pulled up a ziplog bag with the herb, wolfbane.

"You do?" he asked with a surprised look on his face.

"Yeah, but since it's a rare herb, it took me a while to find... but I did," I said, giving him my signature Caroline smile. I then took the wolfbane out of the bag and showed it to him. Tyler then walked up to me and touched the herb, as he did so he howled as if it burned him.

"I guess it's just like vervain then..." I said before I could stop myself. Crap, I gave away too much, now he's going to ask me about vervain, and then right on cue he did.

"What's vervain?"

"Um, it a ..." I started to lie but decided to tell him the truth, "it's an herb that is fatal to vampires, trust me I would know, one of my lockets had the herb in it and when I wore it, it started burning my skin. I'm glad it only had a little vervain in it because if it had a lot then it would have killed me -well again, since I'm already dead," Caroline, stop talking, I told myself as I gave myself mental slaps.

"How did you die?" Tyler asked as I put the wolfbane in the water bottle to prepare for his change.

"Um... remember founder's day when we were driving home?" he slowly nodded so I continued, "Well, after the accident the doctors said that I probably wouldn't live, so someone fed me vampire blood so that I would heal quickly. After that I was getting better... but then someone came to my hospital room and smothered me with a pillow. I then drank human blood... and ta-da... I'm a vampire."

Tyler was silent for a while then, "It's my fault... it's my fault you're dead...or undead...whatever...it's my fault," he said as he sat down on the steps inside the "cage/cellar".

"No, Tyler, no," I said as I sat down next to him, "don't blame yourself, because it's not your fault, it's nobody's fault, because it was meant to be."

"Don't say that, Care," and when he said that looking at me I could feel myself blush... well... i can't really blush since I'm dead but if I weren't then I certainly would blush... if that makes any sense what so ever.

"It's true, if I weren't dead who know maybe you or...Matt... would have been dead. Plus, who would help you with your wolf transformation? Tyler, you need a friend right now, and I'm here for you, always," I said as I took his hand and gave it a squeeze.

"You really have changed," Tyler said smiling.

"What do you mean?" I asked, confused.

"Well, it's just that... I had always viewed you as a hot annoying cheerleader, or Matt's hot annoying cheerleader girlfriend, but now... I realize you actually have a heart, but then again...maybe not," Tyler said teasing me.

"Jerk!" I giggled as I punched him in the arm. That was when I realized he called me hot... twice. If I were still human I would have been blushing like crazy ... but then again if I were still human I would have just rolled my eyes and walked away.

"Ouch, that's going to be sore in the morning," he said rubbing his arm which made me giggle even more, which of course made him smile. Then his face got serious, "Thank you, Caroline. Thank you for staying here with me. I don't know what I would without you."

"I bet you say that to all the girls," I said teasing him.

"You caught me," he winked as he teased me back.

"Ok, the full moon starts in a few hours so we should probably start preparing, like, right now." I said getting up.

"Like, ok," Tyler said as he got up too.

"Shut up, Ty," I mockingly glared at him as he did the same.
