Masquerade
Hollaa sorry it took so long to update and with farther ado the chapter!
Enjoy !
I woke up feeling the warm sun, today they were releasing Jenna from the hospital and my mother's funeral was over, I honestly don't think I could've survived it without Tyler and I'm very thankful he was there but on the other hand there was Matt who didn't to say anything to be there for me.. and Jeremy and Elena I guess I'm grateful that there my family at first Elena kept apologizing to me but I made her understand that I wasn't mad at her and that there was nothing we could've done and if I was at someone it would be Katherine.
Elena just called saying they just got from the hospital so I was on my way there
"Hey where are you going?" my dad's voice stopped me just as I was opening the door
"Elena's she just called, Jenna's home." I answered turning to look at him "I thought you're at work" I finished looking at him questioningly "Yeah, I'm just taking a few day's off.." he answered trailing off smiling sadly at me
"Look I know I wasn't here for you a while but losing your mother made me realize that you're all I got now and I just want you to know that ok?" he said looking at me with tears in his eyes making my heart ache
"I know dad, I love you" I stated and walked over to him embracing him tightly "I love you too sweetheart" he answered embracing me back.
Just as I got to Elena's house I saw Jeremy coming out of the house.
"Hey where you headed?" I asked coming up the stairs stopping in front of him.
"Just out, how are you?" he asked putting a hand on my shoulder "I'm hanging there" I reassured him with a half smile.
"Listen what are we going to do with Katherine?" he asked making me drop my smile.
"Nothing Jeremy, ok you need to let it go" I answered pleading him with my eyes.
"I can't let it go Sam, she killed your mom and hurt Jenna! We can't let her get away with it!" he stated furiously making me sigh.
"Yes we will, if that is what will keep us safe, we will" I answered raising my voice a little.
"And what makes you so sure that she won't try anything else?" he argued.
"Look Elena and Stefan are over and she won and that's it! Just please let it go she's not worth it!" I pleaded grabbing his hand "I'm sorry but I can't" he answered pulling his hand from me walking away from me "Jeremy!" I screamed after him but he ignored me and kept walking.
I sighed heavily and ran a hand in my hair and went inside the house, there I was greeted with Jenna lying on the couch with Matt beside her and Elena who was probably at the kitchen.
"Hey Sam" Jenna greeted with a smile when she saw me and Matt smiled at me softly making me smile back.
"Hey Jenna, how are you?" I asked walking over to her and sitting next to Matt.
"I'm doing ok, just a few stitches" she told me with a reassuring smile
"How are you?" she asked with her smile faltering a little.
"Ok considering, I'm grateful to everyone though" I answered smiling at her than Matt who threw him hand on my shoulder
"Well, that's what were here for" he told me with his warm smile giving me a side hug making laugh a little.
"You know you could stay, we are going to watch some boring movies with pizza, Ric's included, lot's of fun!" I told Matt trying to bribe him into staying making him laugh.
"As tempting that sounds I'll pass, I'm going to the Masquerade party aren't you?" he asked stopping in front of the door turning to face me.
"Uh, no I'm gonna stay here and hang with Elena, with everything that has been going on with her and Stefan, and well, between me and Tyler…" I answered.
"I've got to go, there's something I got to do" Matt stated.
"Really, what is it?" I asked him confused.
"Just something, I can't talk about it but I've got to go" he answered.
"Ok than, have fun" I said smiling at him.
"Yeah, me in a suit" he answered smiling with a smirk making me laugh.
"Well don't worry, you look good in a suit" I assured him making him smile.
"You and Tyler will work things out" he told me his face turning a little serious.
"I hope so" I answered looking at me only for him to give a warm smile.
"Whatever happens I'm here for you" he said and pulled me to a reassuring hug.
"Are you sure you guys don't want me there tonight?" Ric asked everyone in the room.
"No, I need you to stay with Elena and Sam I don't want them to know about this" Stefan told him.
"Ok. Well, I'll make sure they don't leave my sight" Ric assured him.
"I feel like an invalid" Jenna complained taking her tea from Elena.
"That's because you are an invalid" Elena replied to her making me laugh at the both of them.
"Where's Jeremy, isn't he hungry?" I asked noticing he wasn't here.
"He already left, to the Lockwood party" Jenna answered making me and Elena frown.
"He went to that?" Elena asked just as I was about to, something weird was going on here, it's like everyone was avoiding me and Elena today.
"Yeah, I'm glad, he needs to have more fun" Jenna replied rubbing her belly.
"I'm gonna go get some napkins" Elena stated walking to the kitchen to question Ric I suppose. "Glasses" I told Jenna finding an excuse to go to the kitchen.
"What are you hiding Ric?" Elena was asking Ric just as I got to them making Ric glance at me than back at Elena.
"Yeah Ric, what is it?" I joined folding my arms waiting for an answer.
"Stefan asked me to keep an eye on the both of you, just in case Katherine showed up while he was at the party" Ric answered.
"So Stefan's at the party too?" Elena asked him in complete disbelief.
"He would never go to the party by himself, he did that stuff for me" she finished.
"Just let this one go, ok?" Ric asked with a pleading tone.
"Ok I'll wait by the car" I told Elena after we figured out a plan to sneak out and go to the party.
"Got it" she confirmed.
"Hey, I'm headed home it's late" I told Ric and Jenna who were sitting on the couch together.
"Ok, good night" Jenna answered turning back to the T.V and I left and went to Elena's car standing there waiting for her to come out.
After a few minutes she came out with her car keys and unlocked the car
"Let's go" she stated and we both jumped into the car and drove to the Lockwood mansion.
"There's Jeremy" I told Elena after spotting him walking over in our direction
"Quick grab him!" I told and she quickly grabbed him pulling him over to us making him gasp in shock.
"Jeremy" I started the sentence
"What the hell is going on?!" Elena finished.
Jeremy just finished telling on their plan, we were standing with Bonnie.
"You guys are trying to kill her here?" Elena asked them in complete disbelief.
"We saw an opportunity and we knew we had to take it" Jeremy answered.
"Ok, stop it with the 'we' did you guys completely lost it? You're gonna get yourselves hurt or killed!" I cut him off angrily.
"We know what we're doing, Sam" Bonnie told me with confident.
"And how Elena and I are supposed to feel if one of you will get hurt because of us?" I asked.
"It's not just you two anymore, She's messed with all of us, she has to be stopped" Jeremy replied making me and Elena sigh knowing he was right.
Suddenly Elena gasped and screamed on pain shocking on
"Elena!" I yelled grabbing her before she fell to the ground.
We quickly sat her at one of the chairs I don't know how but she was bleeding pretty badly.
"What happening?!" Jeremy asked panicked.
Elena yelled again in pain starting to bleed from her arm clutching it
"What the hell?!" I yelled
"Jeremy it's Katherine, she's linked to Katherine, Get them to stop Now!" Bonnie yelled at Jeremy realizing what was happening to Elena.
Elena screamed again and turned her hand revealing a cut.
I was trying to help but I didn't want to cause her pain by touching her
"Sammy it hurts" she told me with her voice broken making my eyes to water seeing her in pain not knowing what to do.
"Bonnie isn't there anything you can do?" I asked her pleadingly with a hoarse voice.
"I can't break the spell, but I can try and take some of her pain away" she replied with tears already in her eyes.
"Do it!" I told her and she took Elena's hands from me and started chanting a spell.
After a while Jeremy came back panting and dropped near Elena with concern on his face.
"Are you ok?" he asked looking at Elena. I felt my phone vibrate and saw it was Caroline.
"Caroline?" I asked picking up the phone.
"Sam, thank god I need you, I'm near Tyler's dad office something is going on get here!" she told with panic making my heart race
"What do you mean?" I asked starting to panic making Jeremy look at me.
"Just get here!" she stated and hung up.
"What is it?" Jeremy asked just as I hung up.
"Something's happening with Tyler" I told with concerned
"Go, I got Elena" he assured me and I looked at Elena who nodded and I quickly took off.
When I was near the office I saw Caroline listening and I ran over to her
"Care?" I asked stopping in front of her.
"Matt and Tyler are fighting, something bad is about to happen, do you think it has to do with Katherine?" she asked looking at me worriedly.
"I don't know, let's go before something happen" I stated and pulled her to the office.
Only to walk into chaos Tyler and Matt were on the floor fighting.
"What is going on? Stop!" Caroline screamed separating them throwing Matt to the ground but he quickly got back up and ran at Tyler again
"Stop!" Caroline screamed again stopping in front of him pushing him while I was doing the same with Tyler.
"I can't! Let me go, I have to finish!" Matt growled trying to push Caroline while I was trying to hold Tyler back
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Tyler hissed against me.
"Let me go!" Matt growled again and before I realized what happened he was on the ground unconscious bleeding from the nose.
Tyler and I stared in shock at her and she realized what she did "Matt!" she said worriedly before kneeling next to him.
Tyler was breathing heavily behind me clearly aggravated
"Hey calm down, he was drunk ok" I said grabbing Tyler face making him look at me
"Clam down" I told him stroking his face reassuringly making his breathin slow down
"Matt failed. If Matt fails, I can't" Sarah said in a monotone face making me frown.
Suddenly she lifted her hand and I saw her holding a dagger advancing at Tyler
"Tyler watch out!" I screamed and he quickly turned but not quickly enough and she stabbed him in the shoulder making him scream in pain and he roughly pushed her making he fall back and hit her head on the desk's edge with a sickening thud.
"Oh god!" I whispered when I saw that she wasn't moving.
Tyler quickly kneeled begging her to wake up, and judging from the look on the Caroline's face she wasn't going to. I glanced at Caroline knowing what her death meant, Tyler triggered her werewolf curse.
Suddenly her got up and crumpled at the ground growling in pain
"Tyler, what happening?" I asked worried and in fright
"Go away" he hissed in pain and when he opened his eyes they turned into this amber color and I backed away a little bumping into Caroline who was standing behind me
"Care" I whispered worriedly asking if she saw it too "I know" she replied conforming.
"Matt and I were fighting, we broke up you know, and Sarah was drunk and dancing and she just tripped. And then she wasn't breathing." Caroline lied smoothly to Carol.
"Okay, your mom's on her way and we called Sarah's parents. It was an accident. It was a terrible, tragic accident" Carol replied.
"Mom, the sheriff's here" Tyler announced walking back into the room.
"I'll go prepare her, just don't leave. Just stay here okay? She's going to want to hear the story from you" she told Caroline looking at me too before leaving.
"I'll leave you two to talk, I'll be outside" Caroline whispered to me and left the room.
"Matt's in the car, sleeping it off, Caroline will deal with him we don't want him involved in any of this" I informed him.
"What are you doing?" Tyler asked coming to stand in front of me.
"I'm trying to fix a very bad situation with Caroline" I answered.
"Why? I did this. I killed her" Tyler stated.
"No, you didn't, it was an accident you didn't mean too" I said trying to calm him down.
"Sam, she's dead you don't know what that means" Tyler hissed.
"You're right, I don't but It doesn't mean that I can't help you" I replied.
I decided to change the subject when I realized that there was no point in arguing with him anymore.
"Has your wound healed?" I questioned making him frown and check up on his wound and when he lifted his head realizing it was gone in pure disbelief.
"How did you...?" he trailed off looking questionably at me.
Suddenly my phone rang breaking our intense gaze.
"Elena are you ok?" I asked backing away from Tyler.
"Yeah I'm okay Bonnie broke the spell I'm headed home should I wait for you?" she replied.
"Yeah I'll meet you by the car" I answered hanging up.
"I need to go" I told Tyler turning to leave.
"Hey, wait up how you knew?" he asked pulling my hand spinning me around.
"I need to go" I said tugging my arm away and leaving before he got the chance to grab it again.
I was walking to the car when I saw Stefan standing at the hill and he saw me too and started to walk over to me so I stopped and waited for him.
"Hey you okay?" he asked when he reached me.
"Yeah I'm fine, listen Tyler just triggered his werewolf gene" I said worried.
"How did it happen?" he asked.
"I think Katherine compelled Sarah" I answered remembering Sarah's monotone voice.
I was already shaken up from seeing Elena and than seeing her Sarah die, I didn't realize I was shaking until Stefan grabbed my hands
"Hey look at me, breath, deep breaths" Stefan soothed looking into my eyes calming me down a little.
"Come here" he said before pulling me into a tight and comforting hug making me hug him tighter.
"Let's get you home" he whispered rubbing my back and guiding me to his car.
