Chapter 2

Tyler looked at his phone again before he walked into his bedroom. He got out of his clothes before putting on something he was more comfortable in. He hadn't called Caroline back yet, but he had tried calling his mom. She hadn't answered so he thought that Caroline had taken her home.

He was ready to snap because he'd been betrayed by somebody he thought was his friend. Haley had done all of this to in turn get all of the hybrids killed. He was the only one left now and he was sure Klaus was going to try and kill him. He didn't know how he was going to get Haley back, but he would eventually.

He wished he had never met Haley now, never asked her for help because she'd stabbed a knife into his back. It might not be a real one, but it felt close enough. She had killed his pack, which was what the hybrids were.

He had become their leader, their alpha and he had led them to their deaths. He punched his fist into the wall beside the closet. He ignored his phone ringing again as he kept punching the wall until he couldn't anymore. He slid down the wall not able to move at the moment. The tears were falling down his face. He just wasn't sure if it was from the pain of punching the wall or fact he was so angry it was the only thing he could do.

He didn't care who was calling him. He couldn't deal with anybody right now and was glad his mom's room was on the other side of the house. He would have to fix his wall later or she might freak. His hand was bleeding and he could see the bone of his left hand where he'd hit the wall so many times.

It didn't take long for the wounds to disappear, but the blood was still there. He still wanted to go after Klaus, but he didn't. He didn't want to die even though he felt like he was at the moment.

His mom needed him and he needed her. She was the reason he hadn't left town. She was the reason he had gone downstairs when the hunter showed up at their house. He had put his life on the line to protect her then. He had Caroline too and she had saved his mom too just last year. He let out a growl picking up his phone ready to send it at the wall, but when he saw Mom he answered.

"Mom?" he thought she was home and too many thing started going through his mind when he saw the id pop up on his phone.

"I thought if I called from her phone you'd answer me," Caroline said letting out a sigh of relief hearing Tyler's voice. "I don't know what happened tonight, but you need to get to Elena's house now," she wasn't sure if she should mention that his mom had been attacked or if she should just leave it at that. She wasn't with Tyler and couldn't stop him from going after Klaus.

"What happened," Tyler got up off the floor grabbing his coat and he was out of the house before Caroline even spoke again. It was one of the perks of being a hybrid.

"Just get here and no stopping," Caroline said opening the front door knowing it wouldn't take Tyler long to get from where he was to here. He was faster than she was being a hybrid and all. She really liked that, but it wasn't time for that now. His mom's life was in danger and so was his and hers. Klaus had said he was coming for her next before she left.

Tyler sped into the house not stopping until he was beside the couch and Caroline turned around looking at him. "What happened, how do you have my mom's phone?"

Caroline smelled blood and looked down seeing the dried blood on his hands. "Oh my god, please tell me you didn't get into a fight with Klaus," she didn't know why he was bleeding.

"No, I couldn't find him," Tyler said feeling his eyes shift at the mention of the bastard. "He killed my pack; Haley never wanted to let them go,"

Caroline should have known they couldn't trust the bitch. It was ironic because his mom hadn't even trusted Haley and was getting her to spy on her when she could. She just hadn't told Tyler about that little part.

"I have your mom's phone because I brought her here," she said getting back to the reason she'd called him. "It's the only house in town that is owned by somebody alive and Klaus hasn't gotten in the house," she said trying to get it out in a hurry because she knew if she didn't say it soon then he might get a little more upset.

"Caroline," she knew that tone, he was getting annoyed, but she didn't care.

"You cannot leave this house tonight because we need you with use," Caroline said before she finally told him, "I saved your mom from Klaus," she knew it was registering because he was gripping her hand just a little tight, but it wouldn't hurt her, "He tried to drown her, Tyler, but she's okay,"

Tyler was trying to pull out of her hands, but Caroline was the one holding on tight now. "Let me go, he is going to pay for this, my pack, my mom, and you too," Klaus was trying to take everything, but he wasn't getting another damn thing.

He was angry and he wanted out of the house, but Caroline wasn't having it. He had to show Klaus he wasn't going to win. He couldn't keep messing with his life like he owned this town. Klaus had nothing in this town and he was going to leave it.

Caroline made a quick move sweeping her leg behind his and they went crashing to the floor, with her on top. "YOU shut up and listen to me," She said, her fangs weren't out yet, but if she had to she'd do it to make him see some kind of reasoning. "We cannot lose you, your mom needs you right now," she had to get it through his head he wasn't allowed to just give up his life for theirs. She was tired of letting him think dying was the way out. "You are all your mom has, Tyler; you're her flesh and blood, her only son,"

He could easily flip them and take off, but he didn't want to move. Caroline was right and he knew it, but didn't make it right. "He keeps taking everything from me," he would take anything of the way he felt right now.

"He's not taking me, and I didn't let him take your mom," Caroline said moving her thumb over his jaw. She sometimes did it when he was pissed off to calm him down. It always worked and she kissed the veins under his eyes. "You have us both, we're not going anywhere, Tyler," she hoped that it was working because she couldn't risk him leaving.

She would sit on him until she knew he wasn't going to bolt. She'd get him naked if she had to and sit on him like that. She'd even fight him to keep him here if she had to. She had to keep him safe and keep taking care of him.

"Where's my mom at now?" he asked after a few minutes.

His face had shifted back and his eyes where their normal color. He didn't know how Caroline could calm him down by doing what she did. He loved her so much that it had to be the reason. He could swear that his wolf loved her too because he was making whining sounds in his head right now; instead of growling. He could be ready to attack and if she just did what she was doing he'd be calm again in no time.

"She's in the guest bedroom," Caroline said before sitting back against his knees, but she didn't relax. She knew not to relax when things were this bad. Things could go back to the way it was in second flat. "She's okay, a little shook up and scared, but it is safer she stays here right now," their house wasn't safe and neither was hers. "She's asleep right now so not waking her would be better," Carol needed to sleep off her drunkenness and it would give her a chance to rest. She had stayed in the bedroom until she'd known she was asleep again.

"Thank you for saving her, Care," Tyler said lifting her up and getting to his feet in the same second. "You keep saving us," he couldn't ask for somebody better than Caroline.

She said he kept risking his life, well she did the same. She didn't only take care of him she took care of his mom. He knew his mom already liked her, he'd heard her the other day talking to Caroline. She'd said she was already like a daughter to her.

"I can't just stand by and let the ones I love die," Caroline said before she closed her eyes and breathing in his scent. She smiled when he wrapped his arms around her. "I'm on the hit list too," she sighed telling him that Klaus wanted her dead now too. "I sorta took the metal stake from a tent and went to town on his back," she was sure the bastard had a huge hole in his back before she took off with Carol.

Tyler smiled picturing what she had done kissing the top of her head. His mom and Caroline weren't safe anymore and Klaus was going to kill him the first chance he got; if not them too. He had to do something to keep them safe and his self. He just had to talk to his mom about it before he did it. He knew she would agree though.

Caroline pulled away before taking his hand and locking the door before going upstairs to the guest room. She had made a make-shift bed in the floor beside the bed so they could sleep too. "We'll be here in case she wakes up," she said pulling his jacket off tossing it on the trunk at the foot of the bed. She just hoped that Carol slept through the night so they could too.

Tyler lay down with her letting her snuggle up against him before wrapping his arm around her. He was going to make the two women he loved safe again. "I love you, Care," he said.

"Love you too, Ty," she closed her eyes glad to have his arms around her as she fell asleep.
