You know Nothing About Me

Disclaimer: I don't own The Vampire Diaries

As Tyler entered Mystic Falls, it was early morning. The town was still asleep and the streets were empty. He didn't know where to go. He wasn't sure if he was welcome at home since he had disappeared for more than a week, and only left a short letter to his mother explaining that he needed to leave town. He had driven through towns and cities until he finally reached the shore. He had rented a cheap motel room and gone every night to the beach and stayed there from moonrise to moonset. He stayed in his room all day long, mostly sleeping and only came to the beach when the sun was dying in the horizon and plunging into the ocean, leaving its place for the moon and the stars. He would stay there on the same spot every night, watching the moon and would leave when the sun was beginning to rise.

During that week, he thought about everything Caroline had told him about the other face of Mystic Falls. He still couldn't believe it. This town was probably the most dangerous town to live in… Well if there already were vampires, witches and werewolves, what next? Zombies, Ninja Turtles? (A/N: Looooooved Stefan's line in Brave New World xD, couldn't help it :p!). The more he thought about it, the more he thought that moving out of this town would be best for everyone that lived there.

He sighed, he was tired of this inner monologue. He still didn't know where to go but finally decided that it was best for him not to stay in town today and he drove in the direction of the old Lockwood property. He parked his car in a secluded path, where no one would see it. He reluctantly took his cell, turned it on and checked his messages. Most of the messages were from his mother, worrying and the others, from his mates. But there were also missed calls from a number he didn't know. There was nothing from Caroline, since he had told her not to contact him, though he was a bit surprised. He knew that he needed to see her and talk to her, but he didn't have the heart to do it. At least for now.

He got out of the car and made his way to the cellar, he hadn't been there since he had turned and felt a rush of emotions in his body when he approached the steps. But, as he put his foot on the first one, he heard noises. Someone was there! He heard someone curse and a loud noise. Tyler rushed down the stairs and entered the room. He was surprised by the two people that were there. It was Stefan Salvatore and his brother, Damon.

"Oh Stefan look, Wolf Man is paying us a visit!" Damon said, sneering.

There was a gust of wind and Tyler was grabbing Damon by the collar and shoving him against the nearest wall.

"What the hell are you doing here?" he shouted, grabbing Damon by the collar. "How dare you come here?" His eyes were blazing with anger.

"Tyler, stop! Calm down!" Stefan said trying to get between them.

"WHY? WHY DID YOU KILL HIM?" Tyler shouted, shaking Damon.

"Two reasons: first, he worked with Katherine and second, he almost killed me and my brother. He was a threat. So yeah, I killed him. Never heard of self preservation?" Damon answered, a smirk playing on his lips.

"Right I forgot that we are natural enemies. Better be careful on the next full moon, maybe I won't be chained up in this cave like last time…" Tyler trailed off in a menacing tone.

"Ooooh, you're threatening me? Don't give me the 'you're marked' shit! We know that right now, I'm the strongest from the two of us." Damon said and shoved Tyler against the nearest wall and was strangling him.

"Damon, stop! You're killing him!" Stefan said.

"Why would I stop? If I kill him, we'll be rid of him. My list of problems is long enough, that will shorten it a bit." Damon replied.

"Oh yeah? Don't you remember what happened last time? That helped you a lot!" Stefan said, sarcasm heavy in his voice. "So now, you let him go." A few moments passed until Damon finally spoke up.

"Fine, but don't say I didn't warn you. If something happens, it's on your hands." he said and let go of Tyler, who slid to the ground and coughed, a hand clutching his throat.

"Are you ok?" Stefan asked Tyler.

"I'll heal." he answered in a croaked voice. "What are you doing here" he asked again, his voice returning slowly to normal.

"We were replacing the door before you barged in here, shouting and insulting us at the same time." Damon said sarcastically.

"Why would you do that?" Tyler stared at him, frowning.

"It was Blondie's idea. She said that door needed to be replaced, so we're replacing it. As if I had any other choice." Damon said, rolling his eyes. Stefan glared at him.

"It was Caroline's idea?" he asked, puzzled.

"She was the one who asked us for help. She came up with everything." Stefan explained. Tyler, still on the floor, spotted two bags near the entrance. He stood up and opened one: it contained darts.

"What are these?" Tyler asked.

"Tranquilizer darts filled with wolfsbane. And before you ask, yes, that was her idea too." Damon replied. "If you want explanations, you better go to Blondie's, it was her plan."

"You realize she took big risks when she stayed with you, down here. You could have killed her." Stefan said.

"I know. But I didn't ask her to stay, hell I even asked her to leave. She didn't listen and stayed anyway. She knew the risk."

"If you want my opinion, Wolf, you owe her big time. She feels terrible for chasing you out of town because she told you the truth. I wanted to stake her for that because she didn't listen when I told her – well threatened her – not to be your friend and not to reveal you her true nature. But of course she couldn't leave her mouth shut and let the wolf out of the bag." he rolled his eyes. "So I guess I'm finished, both with you and the door so I'm out of here." he said, walking towards the stairs, leaving Stefan and Tyler alone.

"I want to apologize for everything. And for Damon, sometimes he's a real pain in the ass." Stefan scoffed. "There are other chains in the other bag. And here's the key for the entrance door, we thought it be best if you want to keep strangers away. You know, she thought you would need it, in case you came back for the full moon, everything would be ready. Don't be too hard on her, it wasn't all her fault. So, I guess I'll see you around."

Tyler found himself alone in the cellar.

Caroline was sitting on the couch, going through the pages of a fashion magazine. The day had passed slowly and was once again, like any other days since he left, filled with thoughts of him and of course, worry. She tried to focus on her reading but caught a movement in her peripheral vision. She turned around and saw Tyler. At first, she thought it was her mind playing her tricks. But then he said "Hi."

She flew across the room and threw her arms around his neck. She hugged him so tightly that a human would have been crushed in that embrace. He didn't immediately return the hug and she was ready to pull back when he suddenly hugged her too, tightly. They stayed like this a long moment. When they finally parted, she looked at him.

"You're finally back! Where have you been? I have been so worried! I thought something bad had happened to you! Are you okay? You look like you didn't get enough to eat… Would you like something to eat or something to drink? Or would-" he put a finger against her mouth and silenced her.

"I'm fine. Don't worry." he said, looking at her, his eyes burning with intensity.

"Ok." she said and hugged him again. "I missed you."

She pulled away, grabbed his hand and tugged him towards the couch, where they sat next to each other. There was an awkward silence, neither of them wanting to start talking. After a moment, she spoke up.

"How are you feeling?" she asked, looking at him.

"I feel like I'm lost in some sort of dream that never ends and I can't wake up from. Everything seems so unreal, it's eerie." he said.

"I know the feeling." she sighed, "I'm sorry that I lied. I didn't have any other choice and-"

"I know." he interrupted her. "Damon told me he threatened you if you did. But you did anyway and that almost got you killed."

"You talked to Damon? When?" she was puzzled.

"I walked into him and Stefan, at the cellar this morning."

"Oh. So you saw…" she trailed off.

"Yes. Why?"

"I felt bad, very bad for lying to you and making you leave town. So I kept myself busy. Planning for the next full moon and all. And don't think that I was looking for you to forgive me about everything when you came back. Well maybe a little bit but I wanted to help you, you're my friend." She started to feel uneasy, he was staring at her.

"Thank you." he said, laying his hand over hers.

"You're welcome." she said quietly, laying her other hand over his and putting her head against his shoulder.

A/N: Happy New Year everyone! I wish you the best! Sorry for the delay, I had a bit of a writer's block.
