~Chapter Eleven~
(Part One)
"I am who I am and I have the need to be."
-Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (The Little Prince).
Tuesday, 2nd March 2010
Marcus knocked on Bonnie's bedroom door "Bonnie! Are you awake?"
No response. Marcus knocks again. Marcus puts his ear against the door to try and hear an answer but instead hears silence. Placing his hands on the door knob, he twists it and opens the door to find Bonnie still asleep.
Walking into the room "Bonnie! It's seven am! You already missed training! Are you going to miss break-" he pauses when sees her sweating. He rushes to her side and tries to shake her awake "Bonnie!"
Her breathing was short and labored mumbling lowly "It's not true…no. Please, no."
Marcus in a panic begins to shake her "Bonnie, wake up! It's a nightmare! Bonnie!"
She suddenly sits up only to knock her forehead against his instigating both of them to say "Ow!"
Marcus sat back rubbing his forehead while Bonnie was doing the same while trying to wake up.
"Marcus?" she says sleepily "Why are you here?" she asks a little more awake moving her hand down.
"Trying to wake you up. You're gonna miss breakfast if we want to get to school on time."
Bonnie frowns confused grabbing her phone off the bedside table to see the time "Oh my god! Seven!" she drops her phone on the bed and moves to get out of bed but is stopped from Marcus placing his hand on her arm.
"What?" she asks looking to him.
Wordlessly Marcus puts his hands on her shoulders turning her around "Marcus what-" she asks as her back now facing him.
"It's glowing, " he says moving her hair to the side to see her tattoo glowing, and the light slowly fades out.
He looks up to see Adara standing by the bed "What is the purpose of these dreams."
Adara shrugs her shoulders "I'm just her powers. I don't have the answers to why the universe are sending her these dreams."
Bonnie shudders when his thumb grazes over her tattoo "What happened?" he asks.
She looks to the ground taking a deep breath, and she looks at Adara "I felt like I died" her words halted his movements he gets onto the bed allowing her to look to him.
Marcus's eyes are full of concern as Bonnie continued "I was looking at him, but I felt his emotions as if I saw the world through his eyes."
"Where were you?"
"Hospital" she smiles sadly at Marcus feeling the rush of emotions from the dream "I am certain he was there" she closes her eyes trying to remember his face only to open them and sigh in frustration of her blank mind. She may not remember his face, but she remembered what he was feeling. She places her hand over her heart as the tears fell surprising Marcus.
She takes a deep breath in and out "He sat by the bedside. He loved her so much" she closes her eyes again "It's the same hurt we've been through," she says.
Marcus pulls her into a tight hug as she cries into his chest the pain the boy in the dream felt. He was devastated, broken and angry at life. Bonnie couldn't explain the strength of the pull towards this mysterious boy lately in her dream; it was almost as if they were becoming one mind. They were beginning to understand each other.
"Now she's connecting to him" Adara states causing them both to look to the demonic spirit to explain.
"It's a memory meaning-"
"You're going to meet soon" Marcus finished. Bonnie looks up to him while Adara disappears knowing he would explain to her.
"There have been some writings that state the witch will start to have visions of the past memories of their Kindred. Each time that has happened the fated witches soon cross paths."
"I don't even know how he looks like let alone his name."
Marcus brushes a loose strand of hair behind her ear and places his hand against her cheek "You'll know. That's the beauty of Kindred. You won't be able to explain it, but you'll know."
Bonnie feels comforted from his assuring looks nodding a little. The boy smiles and places a comforting kiss on her forehead pulling back he tells her "We'll be here when you meet him, or we'll make our way to you when you meet him."
She closes her eyes feeling that last tear drop she falls easily onto his chest wrapping her around him. With her cheek laying on his chest, Marcus's arms wraps around her waist. Bonnie breathes in his scent, and for those few seconds in his arms, she feels safe…protected. A feeling she was getting comfortable with since moving to Light Haven.
Gabriel sighed deeply from the sound of his son's laughter in the living room after Lucy Bennett had finished her story of why she was in debt to Katherine Pierce.
Lucy Bennett, late 20's, brown skin, brown eyes and long brown hair. After a day's drive, Lucy Bennett sat piously on the long couch beside her cousin Michael. It seemed she too was tired of Michael laughing and punched him in the shoulder shutting him up
"What the hell, Luce?" It's not my fault you owe Katherine a favor" he said rubbing his shoulder.
"Well you don't have to be a dick about my situation," she said.
"Well technically-" Lucy raised her closed fist warningly as Michael surrendered "Okay shutting up now."
Rosario chuckled to Michael and Lucy's relationship. With Bonnie, he was the older protective cousin to her, but with being younger than Lucy, he couldn't help himself but be the younger annoying cousin to her causing these two to clash when they met.
"Did she tell you exactly what she needs you to do to pay your debt?" Rosario asked.
Lucy shook her head "Only that I needed to meet her at Mystic Falls three weeks from now for some Masquerade Gala. All I got from that conversation is that she needs a witch to locate an object described to be the moonstone. I had a feeling to call you guys since you had spread the word to the other covens that the last known location of the moonstone was with Katherine."
Rosario looked to her husband seated adjacent to her in the single arm couch "So Katherine doesn't have the moonstone, but she wants Lucy to find it meaning-"
"-it is in Mystic Falls, and she has a plan on how to retrieve it."
Lucy looked to Michael motioning to his parents "They still finish each others' sentence."
"Yep," he said.
Gabriel looked to Lucy "Do you still remember the Bennett covert training?"
"I'd say no since she got caught- ow!" Michael said receiving another punch from Lucy.
Looking to her uncle with a smile "Yes sir."
Rosario shook her head "It'll be too dangerous for her. We don't know where Katherine is staying. Maybe we should send Scott again."
Michael snickers when he sees Lucy stiffen to Scott's name. The woman turns to glare at him, but that didn't stop him from his suggestion "Maybe we should send both Lucy and Scott together to Mystic Falls."
Rosario look to her son "Michael leave Lucy alone."
"I'll be okay" Lucy assures her uncle and aunt.
Still unsure Rosario looks to Gabriel "Maybe we should send Michael and Scott before Lucy arrives. To gather info about the event and any information that we may not know is going on in Mystic Falls."
Gabriel hums in agreement "They can go this weekend."
Michael groaned laying back "Do I have to?" he whined.
"Is he really complaining?" Gabriel asked his wife "I'm pretty sure I heard him say when he decided to have a break from studying at a university because he wanted a year to spend with the coven. Do you remember that?"
Rosario patted his lap responding back just as sarcastically as him "Yes. Yes. What was it?" she stops and imitates her son's voice "Dad, mom I want a year off to focus on myself as a witch and as an assassin. To become stronger and more knowledgeable about our coven. I promise to do all that is require-"
"Okay. Okay. I get it" Michael said cutting his mother off "I'll go. How about I just go. Less attention if I just go and I can just say for my cover that Bonnie told me to stay at her place while I'm on this break I'm having from college."
"You know they will ask why Mystic Falls?" Gabriel said.
"Uhhh I had to pick up something from Bonnie's house," Michael said so quickly.
"How many times have we used that excuse" Rosario pointed out.
Michael clicked his tongue trying to think of another reason until it came to him "Why don't I actually tell them the truth."
"Meaning?" Gabriel questioned intrigued.
"Our coven is trying to find out more about the vampire that killed uncle Zachariah, and we think we may have missed something in the house. They just don't need to know that it's Klaus we're looking for."
Gabriel smirked impressed looking to Rosario "He is indeed learning" he looks to Michael "We will go with that."
"At least I can bug Matt, and I can just say Bonnie has already introduced him to the family during the Skype chats," Michael said not to blow Matt's cover of being a spy for them.
"I'll tell them that Matt knows nothing about vampires, witches, and werewolves."
Pleased with his son's words, Gabriel looks to Lucy "You will continue with what Katherine has plans for you, but if you see the moonstone."
"I'll bring it back to you guys," Lucy said, but he shakes his head.
"No, leave it with the Salvatore brothers. You'll know who they are."
"What! Why them?!"Michael exclaimed standing up "They couldn't even handle keeping the Gilbert device safe."
"Everything that is required to break the curse will be in one place," Rosario said looking to her husband "We're risking it right now."
Gabriel chuckled "I have a feeling we'll be returning to Mystic Falls soon."
Soon Michael makes the connection "You're setting up bait for Klaus" looking to his father "In Mystic Falls."
Gabriel nods and asks Lucy, "Are you going to be okay with Katherine?"
Lucy nods "Don't worry. I can handle her."
"Sounds good," she says looking around the room "So when will I finally meet Bonnie?"
"Why don't you stay the night and get to know her. When did you last see her?" Gabriel asked.
Lucy's eyes narrow trying to remember "I think it was her first birthday" she nods more certain "Yeah that was her good year for us all to travel."
They all nod in remembrance for that was the last time they had seen Joanna Bennett before cancer got the worse of her four years later. Little did the family know the year her mother died was when Lucy went a little crazy creating the perfect opportunity for Katherine to "save" her after getting caught using magic.
Michael tapped his cousin's shoulders "You down for a duel?"
Lucy raised an eyebrow "You really think you've gotten stronger than me?"
He stands up "Oh Luce, you haven't seen me since I was eleven. A lot can change my dear cousin."
She laughs to his words looking to Rosario and Gabriel as he waves them off "Go, go and you know where the guest room are"
Monday, 8th March 2010
Scott parked the car near the Lockwood mansion. After getting to Mystic Falls the day before they learned that the whole town was coming to the Lockwood mansion to help set up for the Masquerade ball. This was a good and bad thing for Scott and Michael. A good thing because Michael could do small talk with the town's people and have a better bearing of the mansion to assist Lucy. They were also hoping that Katherine would show up, but they knew it was unlikely. The bad thing was getting questioned, and it didn't help that Scott warned him about Damon Salvatore's curiosity about the coven. Gabriel hadn't informed everyone yet, not until he knew how much Damon knew about the coven and if he discovered Bonnie's hybrid nature and her connection to the Prophecy.
Looking to Michael seated in the passenger seat, "So where did Matt say to meet him?" he asked.
"He just told me to call him when we-" he paused "-What the hell?" Michael whispered in confusion.
Scott looks to where Michael was looking and raised an eyebrow at the sight of Damon dragging a knocked out man into the jeep. They watched him lock up the back then proceed to get into the car.
"Should we be following?" Michael asked Scott while watching the Jeep drive past them.
"Yeah, we should, but I have a good idea of where Damon would be taking that unconscious man," Scott said starting up the car again "Let Matt know to keep an ear about what Damon may be up to or if there is anyone else missing."
Michael nods grabbing his phone out of his pocket dialing Matt's number "Hey Matt. Scott and I won't be able to make it. It seems like Damon is up to something that we got to check out."
Michael stays quiet listening to Matt's response that was suddenly stopped. Scott turns right to avoid being caught by Damon taking a detour knowing that he was heading to the Salvatore house.
"Really? Thanks, man. We'll call you later" Michael says hanging up the phone he looks to Scott.
"Mason Lockwood seems to be missing. Tyler's looking for him, he was asking Matt if he had seen him"
"Damon Salvatore interrogating Mason Lockwood. About the moonstone?"
Michael nods "It would make sense. Matt did say that Mason was asking Tyler about the location of it, maybe he finally found it."
"Which means Damon is not going to go easy on Mason," Scott said stepping on the accelerator.
Parked not far from the Salvatore Boarding House, Michael now seated in the back was slipping on his mask.
With the mask hanging around his neck, "How many people do you think we need to confront in there?" Michael asked.
"Including Damon, I'd say max six people from the other two cars parked there."
"Make that four people" Michael states watching an older man followed by a pissed off teen walking out of the house to the car.
"Four against two isn't bad," Scott says with a smirk.
Michael laughs pulling out Scott's mask and handing it to him. He then proceeded to look through their assassin bag.
"Okay we have my knives, vervain darts, ropes, bottles of vervain, stake guns-" he looks up to Scott, "I think we may have overpacked for this trip."
"It's a good thing we did," Scott says slipping on his mask to cover the lower half of his face.
He looks to the side of the house "Shouldn't be that hard to open a window."
Michael nods "Ropes, vervain darts, magic and our wits will save us today."
"I guess we can say a maximum of three people" Scott say watching a blonde teen rush out of the house and into her car and drive out.
Scott looks back to Michael "Ready?"
"Always," Michael says with a smirk and pulls his black mask up to cover up the lower half of his face.
In the training room in Light Haven, Bonnie dodges another hit from Robbie stepping back she moves swiftly to grab his wrist of the next flying punch and moves his arm behind his back.
"Don't be so quick to attack when you're frustrated-" she says from behind him "-If you miss the hit the first time, your next move should flow fluently." she lets go of his wrist.
Robbie turns around shaking off the pain from his wrist as Bonnie demonstrates with a closed fist coming towards Robbie's face he moved his head back to watch it fly past his face. Bonnie turns her body in that one motion and moves bends her other arm to strike her elbow at his throat. Before Robbie could register Bonnie paused her movement. Robbie gulps looking down to see his mentor's elbow aligned accurately to strike at his jugular.
Bonnie drops her arm and turns to look at Robbie "Understand?"
Robbie nods his hand running scarily over his throat "Yes, Miss Bennett" he says in a slightly high pitched voice.
She chuckles to his tone as they both hear the bell ring to indicate the end of his one-hour training.
"Guess that's it for this, afternoon," she says walking towards the mini fridge in the practice room.
Grabbing two bottles of water, she walks back to join the sweaty and tired out Robbie seated on the floor.
"Thanks," he says accepting the bottle of water and immediately opens it.
"No worries," she says opening the bottle and having a drink of it.
Swallowing the water, he moves the bottle from his lips and closes the bottle looking to his mentor unsure if he should ask the question on his mind this past week ever since Lucy left. Bonnie seemed to turn the heat up on his and Alexis's training.
"Are you going to ask or wait till Michael gets back today to ask me?" Bonnie asked startling Robbie out of his thoughts.
"Uhh," he stutters and quickly clears his throat "You've been kind of-" he pauses trying to think of the right word "-tense. Especially with combat training for Alexis and I. Usually, you like to balance it with our magic training or the combination of both."
Closing her water bottle, she looks to Robbie "I need you and Alexis to be able to protect yourselves, especially without your powers and weapons. It may not always save you guys, and I may not always be around to save you two."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
Bonnie stayed quiet as Robbie exclaimed, "Lucy did say something to you?!"
The girl scoffs and tries to plays it off "What?! No!"
"She did! What did she say? Bonnie! What did she tell you?" he repeatedly pokes her knee to each word.
She brushes his hand away giving in "Okay, okay, I'll tell you, but you can't tell anyone because I still don't know what it means."
"Okay," he says.
She raises an eyebrow as the boy raises his hand "Scouts honor."
Watching Robbie lay his hand on his leg she explained what had been bugging her this past week "Lucy had a vision about me when she was about to leave. She hugs me goodbye only to pull back and holds me by my shoulders-" she demonstrates by grabbing Robbie's shoulder "-don't go back to Mystic Falls. Death awaits you." she drops her hands from his shoulders.
Robbie laughed nervously "That's impossible. You're not going back to Mystic Falls."
Bonnie looks knowingly at him. He shook his head asserting his words "No. Bonnie, you can't go back" he grabs her hand "Why would you when Lucy gives you a warning like that."
"Klaus."
His hold drops her hand and looks away.
"Robbie-"
He looks to her telling her "You have to tell Mr. and Mrs. Bennett or…"
"Or what? You'll tell" she finished for him.
"Yeah!" he exclaimed suddenly only to retract that statement realizing who he yelled that at.
Robbie lowered his voice "Yeah… if it means to keep you safe."
Bonnie smiles slightly at the soft-hearted twin "Robbie you know visions that are of the future aren't exactly precise. Something can always happen in between that can change the future."
"What if this doesn't."
"If you were in my shoes what would you do?"
Robbie sighed in defeat "I wouldn't let a vision stop me from getting answers on my dad's death."
"Exactly," she said and assures him "I'm a witch hybrid. I'm not going to be that easy to kill."
He looks away mumbling "It's still possible."
"If that happens, it happens. Why do you think Lucy didn't tell my aunt and uncle?"
"Because they would want to change the vision and ban you from ever entering Mystic Falls."
"Meaning?"
"Someone else could get hurt" Robbie finished he looks at her "I can't say anything to anyone can I?"
Bonnie nods standing up then looks down to Robbie "You can tell Alexis if you want to vent but get caught" she motions a finger across her neck "You're dead."
The boy nods quickly "I promise. Only between the three of us."
She stretches out her hand towards him in which he accepted and helped her student stand up.
"You know I don't like keeping this a secr-"
CRASH!
"What the hell?!" Bonnie exclaimed from the sudden crashing sound below them causing the shake in the training room.
"The coven room," Robbie said as the two rushed to the door leading downstairs to the coven room.
"Michael!" she exclaimed at the sight of the passed out witch in the circle pentagram used for the transportation spell.
She rushed to his side placing his head on her lap and see his bleeding palms. She looks up to see a passed out man in his 30's chained up to a chair and Scott shaking his head from the use of the spell.
Gripping his bleeding palm, he stood up slowly and said in a lethargic tone "Barrier."
Bonnie hears footsteps rushing down the stairs towards them and see Rosario, Gabriel and Alexis enter the room.
"Michael!" Rosario cried out rushing towards her.
"We need to get him out and create a barrier now" Bonnie explained quickly motioning to the man chained up in the chair.
Rosario nodded as Gabriel rushed towards them.
Michael opened his eyes in time to see his father's face "Dad?" he whispered.
"Hey son, we're going to stand up now. You think you can do that?"
Michael nodded as Rosario untied the towel wrapped around her wet hair and tied it tightly around her son's palm to stop the bleeding. Michael sat up leaning against Bonnie's chest. Rosario stood up and walked out of the circle as Gabriel took her place and put Michael's arm around his shoulders while Bonnie grabbed the other side putting his arm around her shoulders.
Michael clumsily stood up with the support as the three huddled quickly out of the circle. Gabriel looked to Robbie laying out his orders "Robbie go to the southwest point" he looks to Alexis and Bonnie finishing his command, "Alexis go and stand at the east point. Bonnie stand at the southeast point."
Bonnie and Gabriel slowly seated Michael on the ground letting him rest against the wall.
With Rosario tending to their son, Gabriel went to stand on the eastern point of the star pentagram. He looked at slightly tired looking Scott standing on the north point of the star pentagram "You okay for this?" Gabriel asked.
"Yeah I'm fine," the man said and informed them "Werewolf in the chair."
All five witches now surrounded the chained up rugged looking man in the seat. They knelt down and placed a hand on the point they stood on and recited the spell to create the barrier. All five witches watched the shield appear creating a dome casing the man within.
Stepping back, Gabriel asked, "You want to tell me why Mason Lockwood is here and chained up?"
"Mason Lockwood"
Bonnie walked to stand beside Alexis to have a better look at the older man "Woah, he still looks the same yet older" she chuckles seeing Alexis staring at him "He was the older Lockwood we all had a crush on"
Alexis nodded still staring at him in curiosity of the pull she was feeling towards him. Not a crush-like pull but a wonderment pull. Like she was supposed to know him.
"Oh! Don't worry about me, I'm fine. Just keep staring at the werewolf" Scott shouts getting everyone's attention.
Alexis chuckles watching Gabriel, and Bonnie, go to Scott's side and help him stand up while Rosario was already helping Michael leave the room to go and tends to his wounds. Alexis looks to Mason only to take a sharp intake of air when Mason opened his eyes to stare at her.
"Are you okay?" she hears her brother ask standing behind her.
"Look at him" is all she says watching his eyes falter shut tiredly.
Robbie looks to Mason confused by his sister's order only for his eyes to widen "What the-?" he whispered looking down to his sister.
"I know" she looks up to her brother "Should we tell somebody?"
Robbie shook his head "Once we find more information about him and if the pull gets stronger, then we'll tell someone. Okay?"
Alexis nods "Alright" she mumbles.
"Robbie," causing the twins to look at Bonnie in surprise and a little worried she heard them, but it seemed she hadn't as she continued "Call Marcus and let him know that Scott is back and that he's okay."
Robbie nodded as she motioned them to follow her "It's okay to leave him. The barrier is stable. I'll attend to his wounds, later on, his wolf genes, for now, will help him heal."
The twins nodded and left the room walking past Bonnie up the stairs. Standing at the bottom of the stairs, Bonnie takes one look at Mason to watch him close his eyes to rest. She focuses her hearing on Mason's heartbeat and hears it beating calmly.
"Rest easy. Mason" she says and walks up the stairs leaving him alone in the room.
Back in the Salvatore Boarding house, Damon groaned shaking his head. Tilting his head side to side his hand rubs across the crook of his neck of where he felt the pinch Sitting up he looks to the fireplace then to where Mason once was. Now gone.
"What the hell?!" he yells.
He begrudgingly stands up looking around the room wondering what the fuck just happened and how did Mason disappear. One minute he was interrogating the wolf and just about to stick his hands to grab that weak wolf's heart then get attacked by a masked witch. Only there was two cause one got attacked him behind with some tranquilizing darts. Whatever was in the tranquilizing dart was enough for him to pass out. Vervain? Definitely vervain.
Damon screams in anger and punches the wall creating a hole in the wall. He hoped Stefan had better luck today or he's going on a war path to figure out who made a fool of him today.
Mason slowly opened his eyes only to shut it tightly from the sound of dripping water. Taking a deep breath in and out, Mason opens his eyes. He sees a familiar young woman squeezing the water out of the face towel into the bowl of water. She turns and places the warm folded towel onto his forehead causing him to sigh from the warmth.
"You're awake," she says.
The man stares curiously at the young woman.
She smiles at him "You may not remember me. My name is Bonnie Bennett."
"Bonnie," he says in remembrance only to chuckle remembering the young Tyler always following Bonnie around when they were kids.
"Where am I?" he asked.
"Light Haven," she says placing the small towel in the bowl "How are you feeling? The wolfsbane seems to out of your system."
Mason nods slowly sitting up "You know what I am?"
Bonnie nods helping the man sit up and lean against the headboard "I do now. Does that mean Tyler is one yet?"
Mason shakes his head "No. I have warned him about the werewolf curse and killing someone will break it."
"So the Lockwood family are werewolves."
"And the Bennett's?" he asked.
"Witches," she says with a smile.
He squints his eyes "You have more questions don't you?"
"Yeah. We can do this the easy way or the hard way."
Mason chuckles "After what Damon put me through I'll go easy" he looks away "There may be some truths that came to light that I've known for awhile that I didn't want to admit."
"Katherine."
Mason looks to her surprised "Don't tell me that you know her too."
"I know of her and that she wants to break the sun and moon curse."
"She can't. Not until she has the moonstone" Mason sighs realizing "Damon and Stefan must have it by now."
Bonnie turns to the door hearing her uncle enter the room "You hear that?"
Gabriel leaned against the door frame "At least we know where it is now."
"Gabriel?" Mason said surprised.
"Little Mason, still causing mayhem I see."
The man chuckled to his former nickname "I've gotten into some deep trouble haven't I?" he said scratching his neck nervously.
"Bonnie why don't you go help your aunt with dinner. It seems Mason, and I have some catching up to do."
She looked between Gabriel and Mason and stood up and walked out of the room leaving the two men to catch up.
Tuesday 9th March 2010
Michael gathered the cut-out newspaper articles that he took off his corkboard from the kidnapping cases that was now over thanks to the help from his cousin.
"I thought you were supposed to be resting up today?"
"Jesus, Matt! You scared me" he said turning to see Matt Donovan leaning against his door frame.
"I know that," Matt says walking into the room while Michael takes a seat beside his desk.
Matt sits on Michael's bed looking across to Michael "Why aren't you resting? Scott said that was a major spell for you to do with him to transport yourselves and Mason here."
Michael rolled his eyes "I'm okay, Dad" he says sarcastically "Did you find Scott's car?"
"Yeah, lucky it was parked far away enough from the Salvatore house, so no one would have spotted me at least I hope not. Thanks for the keys, Scott told me it was your idea in the first place to make a copy of the car keys for me."
"I had a feeling we were getting too comfortable knowing you were in Mystic Falls. One of these days we were going to leave a car behind" he finishes with a chuckle leaning back in his seat only to wince a little.
Noticing Matt raised an eyebrow "One day of rest isn't going to kill you, you know that right?"
"I know, and I slept enough, I just need to keep busy."
Matt raises his hands in surrender "Okay, okay dropping the subject" he drops his hands "Mason seemed fine, passed by him on his way to the kitchen."
Michael chuckled "Yeah he quickly made himself home, but I think that's because of dad."
"Friends?"
Michael hums unsure thinking of another term to describe them "A person he looks up to and respect."
"So Mason told you guys everything or did he have to interrogate him?"
Michael shook his head "He said everything. He knew about the Sun and Moon curse but not what was required of it. Mason was the wolf, Katherine was going to give up to Klaus and Tyler was the backup plan. Scott and I got to him in time to hear him confess the location of the moonstone to Damon."
"Meaning they have the moonstone, now," Matt says in understanding but still take notes of Michael's expression "Why do you have that look?"
"What look?" Michael states confused.
"You're still not sure if you should trust Mason. You had that look when I first stayed here. Every conversation you had with me, you had that unsure look of sitting on the fence of trusting me or not."
"One, that's a little scary you know that look and two…yeah."
Matt leaned forward and said in Mason's defense "He was being used by Katherine, he only knows what all the wolves know about the curse. Maybe lay off on the distrust."
"I'll try" Michael mutters leaning back in his seat he looks up to the ceiling of his room only to sit back up "You're not rushing back home?"
Matt laughs to Michael's questions shaking his head "No, I'll stay until Friday. Besides, I can't miss out on the twin's 16th birthday tomorrow."
"You better not" Alexis voiced out surprising both boys.
Matt laughed standing up "Speak, and she arrives."
Alexis giggled walking into the room allowing herself to be pulled into a hug she leans back with her arms still around Matt's waist.
"When did you get here?" she asks with a smile.
"Not long ago. Where's Robbie?"
"Downstairs."
Nodding Matt asks "And...how are you?"
"I'm good," she says.
Matt raises an eyebrow at her. He had spoken and messaged her a couple of times since Derek's betrayal but hadn't gotten a chance to see her face to face, until now.
"I'm doing better" she assures him.
"Good," Matt says pulling her back into a hug. He closes his eyes hoping his hug was bringing her comfort.
Michael clears his throat "Still here" he says watching the two separate and looks to him.
Alexis rolls her eyes "I can see that"
About to retort back, Michael was cut off from the out of breath Marcus entering his bedroom. Matt and Alexis looked to the teen in confusion while Michael threw his hands up in the air of everyone casually entering his room now.
"My bedroom is not the common room!" he exclaims.
Ignoring Michael's protest, Marcus informed them "Mr. Bennett said coven meeting in 5 minutes."
"Still doesn't explain why you ran all the way-" Alexis paused mid-sentence now clearly seeing the eagerly impatient expression painted on Marcus's face "Oh no" she whispers.
"What?" Matt questions confused
"He has a theory," Michael says knowingly standing beside Alexis.
The mere mentions of the word theory cause the boy to smiles widely while Matt questions still confused about Michael and Alexis's pained expression "Theory about what?"
Marcus opened his mouth to begin, but Michael stopped him "No don't. Explain in the meeting where Bon can translate your crazy theories."
Michael chuckles to Marcus' pout like a child getting scolded. Walking past Matt and Alexis, Michael places a hand on Marcus' shoulder in motion to move out of his room.
"We better go before dad comes looking for us," Michael said.
Walking down the foyer of the Bennett house, Gabriel led Mason into the vast library. Thinking here was everyone was meeting here he was guided to the spiral staircase on the left side of the library leading to the second floor of the library which led to his confusion following the older Bennett into a small room. Walking down the narrow hallway, he realizes the walls he passed was actually a back of a bookshelf. Mason paused at the entrance framed by the sides of the bookshelves on both sides of Mason. Gabriel stopped and turned sensing that Mason wasn't following him. The man walked back to see that Mason was looking into the room surrounded by bookcases with a small wooden desk and chair seated in the center of the room.
"This is where Amerie and Robbie can mostly be found translating all the old documents we find during our missions."
Mason just nods while Gabriel motions with his head to the end of the hallway "Meeting room is through that door" he says.
Mason turns his sight away from the room and follows Gabriel towards the brown wooden door. Pushing open the door, Gabriel steps into the room and holds the door open for Mason to walk in.
"Damn..." he mutters in shock once stepping into the area. An enormous classroom-sized room with five by two rows of table and chairs already with everyone seated. A classroom setting with a large desk in front for the teacher to look over their students. A whiteboard planted for the students to read. Gabriel closed the door behind him and walked ahead of him. While it did remind him of school, the only difference was the weapons displayed on the walls followed by mannequins in glass cases displaying different types of era's clothing.
"These are replicates of what our coven has worn throughout the years. From photographs being collected, Alexis began looking through the photos about two years ago and replicate the clothing designs to have a better understanding of what was worn by our witch assassin ancestors."
Mason still speechless of what he has seen in this room just nods mutely as Gabriel motions for Mason to take the last seat beside Eric.
Robbie sitting in front of him turns around to ask "Wolfsbane out of your system?"
"Yeah," Mason says only to stop when Gabriel knocks knuckle against the large wooden desk.
"Alright let's start this meeting," he says turning away he picks up a black whiteboard marker and writes Niklaus Mikaelson at the top of the board.
"What do we know?" the man asks.
Mason directs his attention to Michael seated at the far right front row from him when he answers "Niklaus Mikaelson said to be the Original vampire wanting to breaking the Sun and Moon curse."
Bonnie continued despite Gabriel writing short notes of what their answers were "The Sun and Moon curse require the Moonstone along with the sacrifice of a doppelganger, a vampire, a werewolf, and a witch."
Matt sat behind Michael spoke next "Klaus already has Elena for the doppelganger, Greta to play the witch part. Mason would've been the werewolf."
Still writing Gabriel says "Now he's not. Whether Klaus has a werewolf in mind or not, Katherine is looking for her next werewolf to hand over to Klaus."
"Tyler," Robbie said.
Mason looks at Robbie with wide eyes holding back his fear.
Gabriel paused in his writing and looked to Robbie to explain "Logically speaking with Katherine in Mystic Falls including the arrival of Lucy there for the Masquerade Ball. She then has the witch, Elena the doppelganger and of course the three vampires to choose from. All she needs is to retrieve the moonstone from the Salvatore brothers and a werewolf."
Alexis nods in understanding finishing Robbie's line of thinking "The only werewolf in Mystic Falls is Tyler, and it shouldn't be too hard for Katherine to get him to trigger his curse" she paused turning to Mason "Sorry that sound insensitive. I tend to blurt things without thinking."
Mason cracks a small smile "It's okay" he mutters the girl situated on the right side of Robbie.
Mason looks to Gabriel "Tyler does not know anything. He only knows about werewolves. Not about vampires, witches, Klaus or what the moonstone is truly for."
Amerie looks past her husband to Mason "No one told him about the Lockwood family history?"
Mason shakes his head "I didn't know until I triggered my curse and began researching my families' history. I don't even think my brother knew."
"He needs to be protected from Katherine," Amerie said looking to Gabriel "Should we put protection on him."
"Bring him here" Rosario suggests causing Gabriel to roll his eyes
"Honey, you can't just bring every person in danger so quickly into our coven."
"Well what do you suggest we do?" she asked with a raise of an eyebrow awaiting her husband's solution.
"I propose that we leave it up to Mason. Tyler is his nephew."
A little taken back from Gabriel's words, Mason said "Thanks."
Rosario sighs "Fine" she looks to Mason seated in the same row of tables as her "Our house is open if you and Tyler need protection."
Gabriel nods "It is," he says then changes the discussion "Okay with everything we know, Rosario and I have been discussing that we will have to return to Mystic Falls."
"We will?" Bonnie speaks up surprised.
Gabriel nods and answers her before she could ask of when "Only when we get word of Klaus making his move towards the town then we'll go."
"Shouldn't we already be there and be prepared?" Bonnie said.
"Bonnie we have a life here. We can't just drop everything on an unsure timeline of Klaus's movement. We would be blindly winging it, and I would like to try to avoid doing that as much as I can with our coven."
Bonnie nods solemnly to her uncle's words as he continues "Okay we'll need to keep in contact with our sources on Klaus's movement and look into the ritual spell for this curse. It would make sense that a spell this powerful would need the power of the full moon especially with a sacrifice of a werewolf."
"So Klaus will aim to perform this spell on the night of a full moon," Alexis said.
Gabriel nodded "It is my working theory. Once Klaus is strong enough to return to his body, that is when he'll begin to make his move on breaking the Sun and Moon curse."
Gabriel looks to Bonnie "Bonnie, you will stay in contact with Elena and the rest of Mystic Falls gang" he looks to Matt "Matt, you will continue to be our eyes and ears when you go back home."
Matt nods to his orders. Gabriel looks to Marcus and motions with his head "Come on up and tell us about your theory."
Marcus excitedly gets up from his seat to where Gabriel stood. The older man passed the black whiteboard mark to the teen who quickly turned around and drew a line from top to bottom next to Gabriel's writing to now has to space on the right side of the whiteboard.
Turning around he begins "Okay we know there are two types of vampires."
"Two?" Mason questions out loud in confusion.
Marcus palms his forehead forgetting that Mason was new to this and sums up a little bit from their coven's history "The first witches of this world are known as the Elders. 5 families were blessed with the power of each element to protect humans of this world from Lucifer and his demons."
"Lucifer?" Mason chuckles in disbelief "As in Satan? You're kidding right?" he asks looking at the others to see no one laughing or assuring him that it was a joke. No response.
Mason looks back to Marcus "You're not kidding."
Marcus shakes his head "I'm not. So to kill the witches created to protect this Earth, Lucifer created vampires" he turns around and writes Demonic Vampires
Turning back around "We call them demonic vampires because they originate from Lucifer's creation. We believe Bonnie's vampire side comes from the line of demonic vampire nature. The second vampire type we call them-" he pauses to turn around and write Original vampires beside the first type of vampires.
"Klaus" Mason says catching on.
"Yeah," Marcus says turning back around "From what we have researched we've concluded that Original vampires were created from magic. Originals because they were first to be created by magic. Make sense?"
"Yes, still crazy but yes it makes sense," Mason said.
With a broad smile Marcus continues his theory "My theory is on the Original vampires" he turns around and writes Klaus. So these past weeks I've been researching like a maniac on vampires linked to Klaus until I stumbled on Mary Porter" he draws a line from Klaus and writes Mary Porter.
"And who is Mary Porter?" Michael asked
"A slightly obsessed Original groupie" Marcus sighs tiredly remembering how long it took to find this vampire "She's in Kansas, but it took forever to pinpoint her location."
"Wait, is that why you were all secretive about your trip last week. Why didn't you ask me to join you?" Bonnie asks disappointed.
"I wanted to be certain, and besides you wouldn't have met Lucy and-"
"My uncle said no" Bonnie said cutting him off.
"Yeah," he said not even denying it and before Bonnie could ask Gabriel why Marcus spoke up "From the tip-off that Mr. Bennett got about Mary Porter she was not only a groupie of the Original vampires but had spent some time with them. Finally confronting her, she wasn't very compliant to answer my questions, so we had to forcibly search through her memories" Marcus motions to his uncle "That's why Uncle Scott came with me. We wanted to find a connection of Mary to Katherine through the memories that Scott searched in Katherine."
"So Mr. O'Donnell performed the memory search on Mary Porter," Robbie says and looks to Scott "Did you find a connection?"
Marcus smiles proudly "Yes a nameless female vampire" he states turning around he draws a line down from Mary Porter and writes a Nameless female vampire. Marcus then draws another line down and writes Katerina Petrova.
"Woah, so Mary Porter turned this nameless vampire and in a process that vampire turned Katherine. Then Katherine turned the Salvatore brothers and then Damon turned Caroline" Alexis said summing it up.
"Exactly!" Marcus chirped of the summing up.
"What's the theory?" Michael asked.
"Huh?" Marcus said caught off-guard
"The theory from all this-" Michael's hand motion up and down at the whiteboard.
"Oh! Yeah!" Marcus says in realization and turns to circle Klaus's name.
"My theory is that whatever happens to Klaus will affect everyone."
"A domino effect?" Robbie questioned
"In a sense. Hypothetically if Klaus was to get killed then that's bye, bye to-" he puts a stroke through Mary Porter then the following names "and bye, bye to Katherine, Damon, Stefan, and Caro-" he stops when Bonnie raises her hand
"I get it, Marcus," she says. Placing her hand on her small desk, Bonnie shakes her head "It's just a theory right?"
"Yeah, but something you'll need to consider."
"How certain are you of this theory?"
"Of its possibility? 95.9% but I don't have facts or evidence to show you except our knowledge of magic especially when it comes to spells and connections."
Bonnie bites her bottom lip "Are you telling me that I can't kill Klaus?"
"No! I-" Marcus's sighs "I just want you to be careful with the decision you make when it involves Klaus."
"Is that all, Marcus?" Gabriel asks with his arm crossed over his chest now deep in thought. While it was just a theory, Gabriel knew he couldn't dismiss it not when Bonnie's friend could be in danger of being a part of Klaus lineage. Call it logic or thinking out of the box, Marcus was smart when it came to creating theories and has opened a lot of pathways in some of their cases.
Marcus winced at Gabriel's tone nodding. He shouldn't have been so excited about explaining this theory. He was so stupid to forget how much the Bennett family wanted to kill Klaus and now he basically just dumped a huge obstacle to stop them.
Handing the whiteboard marker to Gabriel he murmured "I'm sorry."
Gabriel's expression softens and places his hand on the young teen shoulders "Don't ever apologize for your theories or anything you discover."
Marcus just nods, but Gabriel stares at the boy "Okay?" he says with a smirk.
"Yes, Sir," Marcus says smirking back and goes back to his seat.
Standing up straighter, Gabriel looked to everyone "We heard Marcus's theory now we need to keep in mind of it and find out if it's true or not-" he points to Nameless Female vampire "I want to know the name of the vampire that turned Katherine."
"Why?" Bonnie wondered
"Knowledge is power" is all Gabriel says continuing "I need to know more about Klaus's family history. If we can't kill him, then let's look for ways for us to weaken Klaus before he breaks the Sun and Moon curse."
Rosario spoke up causing everyone to look to where she was seated "We also need to pinpoint who Klaus will use for werewolf and vampire for this curse and be one step ahead of him of his gathering."
"Yes. We're not going to take anymore assassinating cases and put all our focus on Klaus and making sure he and nobody else breaks this curse. Understood?"
Everyone in the room including Mason nodded "Good. Everyone dismissed" Gabriel said and watched everyone stand up moving to leave.
"Bonnie, stay back," he said.
"Uh okay," Bonnie said watching everyone leave.
"Talk later," Michael said patting his cousin's shoulder before leaving.
"Yeah," Bonnie said watching him move.
Once everyone leaves Gabriel sits on the edge of his desk while Bonnie sits on her desk.
"I didn't want to ask about the Prophecy or about Zach's case with Mason around."
"Don't trust him?"
Gabriel shook his head "It has nothing to do with him" he finishes with a knowing smile causing Bonnie to chuckle.
She sighs sadly shaking her head "Nothing besides what we know about Klaus and Adara hasn't been any help either" she says thinking about the dreams she still hadn't told her uncle or aunt, not that it would do any good.
The dreams had the same structure, she was in an unknown location where a stranger would need help and then she would run to help only to be stopped by a strange man at least that's all she remembers after that. The dreams were now becoming frequent of three times a week.
"Adara? How would the demon help you?"
"Uh-" Bonnie stated but became speechless. She sighs knowing she has to tell him about her dreams.
"I've been having dreams" she confesses.
"Dreams?" Gabriel questions his eyes narrowing, but that didn't deter Bonnie from furthermore explaining roughly what her dreams were about and the involvement of Michael and Marcus to decipher the meaning of the dreams.
Bonnie blows out a quiet breath after telling him everything "The boy in your dreams. Do you sense him being good or evil?"
"Good," Bonnie says without any hesitation.
Gabriel nods "Michael and Marcus may be right on him being your kindred for your Prophecy. The boys would've told you to be more wary of your locations."
Bonnie nods "Yeah, they did. Some of the locations have been repetitive. One is me in a cave, and I can hear water far away. Another place is at a house, or at least I think it is as I'm walking down a hallway of a very elegant looking house. I'm going to help someone but then suddenly I'm running from someone, and the boy saves me. The other locations are hard to remember."
"And...Adara appears afterward?"
"Yeah. Only Marcus can see her. I know Adara is basically me but you know I thought a demonic spirit being created years ago would have some insight into these dreams."
Gabriel nods "Hmmm and how long have you been having these dreams?"
"Since I completed my transformation."
"Bon..."
"I know, that I should've told you and aunty, but I didn't know what the dreams were about and Michael and Marcus were helping me trying to decipher the meaning of it."
Gabriel sighs "Okay. I'm glad you told Mike and Marcus about this, and you're not handling it on your own. Instead of summing up these dreams, write or type out a precise recount of the dreams. Put in as many details you can remember, maybe something that might mean nothing to you may mean something to one of us."
Bonnie nods to the idea "Okay. I'll do that."
Wednesday, 10th March 2010
Mason closes his eyes feeling comforted by the chatter and laughter in the Johnson resident. Everyone was gathered here to celebrate the twin's 16th birthday with a big dinner. The older man couldn't explain how quickly he felt at ease with everyone. Usually, it would take him weeks to get used to his new surroundings and then months or years till he can somewhat trust new people. Yet here in Light Haven, he couldn't see himself staying here long but-
Mason opens his eyes to the sight of everyone hanging out in the backyard. Eric handed an opened bottle of beer to Mason before taking a seat beside him on the top of the small set of stairs.
"Thanks," Mason says before taking a drink. Swallowing he looks out to the backyard. To the families gathered together. The families that saved him. He couldn't stay here long, but strangely he trusted everyone here.
"You okay?" Eric asked
"I have a nagging feeling that you all don't agree with my decision to keep Tyler in the dark."
Eric smirked, "I'm guessing Rosario and Amelia have been dropping hints."
"Yeah and surprisingly they're intimidating ladies that they are making me think twice about my choices."
Eric chuckled knowing how his wife and Rosario would subtly drop hints vocally.
"You know what Amelia said? She stated that it's good that Tyler has someone looking out for him with knowledge of his possible werewolf nature. Then later during the night, Rosario says it's good that Tyler knows about the werewolf curse in the Lockwood family and-" he pauses for effect "having the confidence that Tyler will be safe."
Eric laughs "Now you're thinking twice about whether you should bring Tyler here or not"
"Yeah" he looks to Eric "What do you think I should do?"
"It doesn't matter what I think. What do you want to do?"
"Truthfully," he sighs thinking about how he really wanted to handle this situation "I want to be as far away from him as possible. Trouble has always followed me, I don't to put Ty in any more danger."
"May I suggest that you stay on the west coast to be safe from Klaus and Katherine" Eric suggests before taking a sip of his drink.
"You'd all be okay with me just leaving like that?"
Eric nods "Mason, we trust you. You were just a pawn to Katherine to a much larger game. I may not agree with your choice of leaving Tyler, but it's your choice."
"Ouch, don't sugar coat it Eric."
The comment makes the man chuckle "Then I'd be lying to you if I did sugar coat it-" he looks to Mason "Should you choose to hide what you are from Tyler, you must know that it will not always be a secret. Secrets have a way of being discovered and sometimes found out in the worst possible way. My only advice is that he should learn the secrets from you. From somebody, he can trust to tell him the truth. From what Bonnie, has said about Tyler, it sounds like he doesn't have a lot of people in his life that he can trust"
Mason stares at Eric touched by his words and looks back to the coven now getting ready to eat "West coast you said, yeah?"
Eric smiles that Mason takes his advice "Yeah" is all he says standing up he looks down to Mason "Whatever you decide, just know that the coven will have you and your nephew's back."
"Thanks" is all Mason says watching Eric leave and go join the table of Gabriel, Rosario, and Amerie.
"Yo, Mason!" Mason looked to his right to Scott calling him. The twins, Marcus and Matt waving him over to him
"Wanna test your wolf senses?" Scott yelled out. Clueless of what Scott meant he stood up and walked towards them for whatever idea Scott cooked up. Was that blindfolds in his hands?
Amerie looked up to see Eric approach the table and take a seat beside her.
"Did you convince him?" she immediately asks.
"Am, you know I can't convince him despite the strange pull we feel to him."
"Yeah, what's that about?" Rosario spoke up "Do you both feel a connection to Mason? The kids?"
Eric and Amerie nodded, looking to each other on how to explain it to Gabriel and Rosario.
"Yeah," Amerie says looking to Rosario "It's why we trusted him so quickly because we felt could trust him to protect us" she shakes her head thinking of her family has been feeling "Like a guardian…a protector for our family."
"Protecting his pack" Gabriel notes looking to his wife who's intrigued by this information.
Rosario states, "Werewolves and witches have had a decent history of when working together. They protect their own, and we protect ours, what if-" she pauses knowing her husband caught on.
"It's a good theory. We just don't have the evidence to back it up."
"What are you getting at?" Eric asked
Rosario looked to Eric "We know the demonic vampires were created to kill the Elders. When were werewolves created? Our coven has never considered that. What if they were created the same time as the Elders? What if they were designed to become their-"
"Protectors" Amerie states softly.
"Exactly," Rosario says.
Eric and Amerie look to see Mason bending his knees a little for Alexis to tie the blindfold around his eyes.
"Are you saying the Lockwood line are the protectors of the Johnson line?" Eric says looking across the table to Rosario and Gabriel.
"Just theories to hopefully explain why you all feel that way about him," Rosario says looking to the others across the backyard testing out Mason's werewolf defense skills against Marcus's.
"It's a shame that Mason doesn't know a lot about his family history other than the fact that they have a werewolf curse."
"Another thing to add to our list to research about." The others laugh to the sound of Gabriel's tired sighs from his words.
Meanwhile, in the quiet of Johnson's kitchen, Bonnie dried the last plate before placing it back in its proper place. Closing the door, she turned around tossing the tea towel to Michael who caught it with ease and tossed over his shoulder.
"Why did you get us to volunteer to wash the dishes? We could have done the cleaning of the table."
"I wanted to talk here without my parent's eavesdropping," Michael said leaning against the kitchen counter with his arms crossed his chest while Bonnie leaned back against the sink raising an eyebrow.
"About…"
"An interesting conversation I had with Robbie last night, about Luce's vision."
"Shit, I'm gonna kill him" Bonnie muttered
"Don't kill the kid," he said with a chuckle reminding her "He's just worried about you, they both are"
Bonnie sighs putting it together "Alexis wanted Robbie to tell you."
"Yeah, Robbie doesn't want to meet Adara again unless Alexis is by his side," Michael says chuckling "Poor kid thinks Adara will kill him. I'm surprised his mind hasn't wrapped around the fact that Adara is still you."
Bonnie smirked to her cousin's words then proceeded to explain herself, but he cut her off
"Don't bother explaining yourself. I called Luce myself to tell me about the vision herself" he sighs "As much as I want to be mad at you, I get why you hid it from us. You can thank Robbie for telling me to look at it from your point of view."
Bonnie smiled. She walked over to stand beside Michael copying his posture. He chuckles when she leans her head against his shoulder
"Being cute is not getting out of this"
"I know," she says.
"You're going have to tell my dad and mom about it."
She nods "I will."
Closing her eyes, Bonnie truthfully states, "I'm sorry."
"I know," Michael says tilting his head to lay on top of Bonnie's head.
The two stared out the window seeing the people important in their lives. Michael lifts his head standing up straighter causing Bonnie to lift her head off his shoulder. Michael ignores her confused look grabs her arm softly tugging her towards the sink. He positions Bonnie to stands and look out the window and stands beside her.
"Who do you see out there?"
Bonnie looks to Michael about to ask if it was a trick question, but he answers for her "It's not a trick question."
Bonnie mutters an okay and looks back out the window to the backyard "I see everyone."
"Who?"
Bonnie rolls her eyes to her cousin's skeptic behavior "I see Uncle Gab, and Aunt Rosario in a deep, serious conversation with Mr. and Mrs. Johnson" Bonnie looks to her right and laughs at the sight.
"Marcus and Mason blindfolded and trying to avoid attacks from the twins and Matt. It's more likely that this was an O'Donnell idea since we have Scott on the sideline most likely keeping a tally of who avoided the attacks quicker. Actually, this looks like fun we should join" she jokes looking to Michael.
Her smile drops from her cousin's grave look. He looks out to the window directing Bonnie to back out "That's your coven. Your family. The ones that will always have your back" he turns her around to face him "I don't want you to feel like you have to protect us when it concerns your life."
Bonnie smiles slightly "I know, Mike" turning away from him to look back outside "You also need to remember it's still going to take me awhile to share everything with everyone. It's still instinct for me to keep things to myself."
Standing beside his cousin "I know you're worried that we'll stop you from going to Mystic Falls, but Klaus is the one responsible for Uncle Zach's death. When it's time to go back to Mystic Falls, you won't be going back alone."
The Bennett cousins both wince at the sight of Marcus tripping over vines ripped out from underground by Robbie. The poor boy smacked dabbed to the ground causing everyone but Mason to freeze then laugh at the fallen Marcus.
"Children" Michael mutters causing Bonnie to laugh out loud. Michael moved past Bonnie grabbing a tea towel on his way to the freezer. He grabbed a handful of ice cubes placing them on the open towel on the counter.
Bonnie chuckles looking out the window "My family" she whispers with a faint smile.
Her smile dropped seeing Marcus instinctively raise his hand to attack Robbie but in one swift movement, the blindfolded Mason was in front of Robbie. The man suddenly moved Robbie away from the blast attack from Marcus.
"What the hell?" Bonnie said stepping towards the sink to get a closer look to what she just witnessed.
Michael moved to stand beside Bonnie, but she sped out of the kitchen to stand in front of Marcus.
Mason ripped off the white blindfold standing protectively in front of Robbie. Everyone's eyes widened at the sight of Mason. The man was breathing heavily, mouth slightly parted revealing his canines, but it was his eyes. His eyes were not glowing yellow or orange. No, his irises were eyes bright red, and he was looking over Bonnie's shoulder to Marcus.
Bonnie's eyes shifted from green to red "Don't" she said warningly causing the older man's face to change back to his human face.
Mason stared back at her in fear "What are you?"
Bonnie steps towards Mason "I should ask you that question. Last time I checked a werewolf's eyes are supposed to glow yellow."
"What?" Mason questioned confused looking back to Robbie then to Alexis standing beside him.
The girl nodded "It was as red as Bonnie's eyes."
"Impossible."
Scott smirked "Possible, and now I'm intrigued," he says with Marcus nodding in agreement.
AN: Stay tuned for Part 2 posted tomorrow afternoon (Aus time). Hearts to reviews and favs.
