Saving Grace
Chapter 2/B
"You want me to do what?" Ric asked, he'd gotten Damon's text that he needed his help, but this was not what he was expecting. He'd told Damon not to mess with fire, but his friend never did listen. Damon had did worse than mess with fire he had tortured a werewolf that could come back for revenge.
"Take him over there and just drop him off," Damon said pouring a glass of whiskey for his self. Mason was still out, but he'd moved him to the basement/cellar near the freezer where they kept the blood. He had made sure the werewolf was still breathing when he had left him there almost two hours before. "Toss him out on the go if you don't want Jenna to know was you," he said.
He knew that Ric had feelings for Jenna, but she was too wrapped up in Mason to care about anyone else. He'd planned on killing Mason and then Ric would have had a chance in few months maybe. He could be Lily's dad, but him and his damn heart for the little girl. Lily would be better off not having a werewolf for a dad he thought.
"I am not going to dump him and speed off," Ric didn't even want to do this, but he couldn't leave Mason here for Damon to kill. He might get a change of heart all of a sudden. "I'll figure something out, but you owe me Damon," He left going to where Mason was at. He didn't want to be nice to the guy, he had the woman that he loved, but it would be worse if Damon killed him. Lily didn't deserve to be left fatherless and not like this either.

The smell of blood was thick and you didn't have to be a vampire to know it was all over the floor. Ric felt to see if Mason still had a pulse and was relieved when he found it after a few moments. He didn't know why he was even holding onto any hopes of Jenna, she was clearly in love with the werewolf. They had a daughter together; there was no competing with that or their friendship.
Mason opened his eyes looking up letting out a sound that sounded like a growl, ready to attack if it was Damon. He wasn't going to let his self be put back in that chair. He didn't know how long he had been out, but he was awake and alive. He could barely move, but he reached out grabbing Ric's arm.
"I'm not going to hurt you," Ric said, he didn't even notice that Mason had woken up until he grabbed him. He could see the blood dried around Mason's neck and the holes he had in his shirt. The blood was also dried around his mouth from where Damon tried get him to swallow it whole. "Can you walk?" he could get him to the shower and maybe he could get the blood gone before taking him to Jenna. He couldn't exactly drop Mason off like this.
Walk? Mason thought to his self, he couldn't even talk yet and Ric wanted him to walk. He groaned hoping that would give the other man his answer to whether he could walk or not. He just wanted to be home right now with Jenna and Lily. He wanted to be holding both of his girls in his arms right now. He was going to get Damon back for this, he would wait until the time was right, and then hell was going to come to the vampire.
Ric wasn't sure how, but he got Mason into the bathroom that was downstairs. He wasn't sure how bad the damage was going to be. It had to be bad if Mason still couldn't walk after two hours. He knew that Damon had given him wolfsbane the scent of the burnt plant and flesh was lingering.
Mason wished he could keep his eyes open, but he just couldn't. The last bit of strength had gone when Ric had moved him in here. His entire body felt like it was burning from the inside out. The fire pokers and the wolfsbane were all combining in his body and doing a lot of harm. He knew the only reason he was alive was because of his daughter. If he didn't have Lily he would have died in the living room with his heart being ripped out.

Jenna woke up to her phone ringing, she didn't know what time it was, but she answered it. "Mason?" she asked into the phone, it had to be him. She thought he would have done came home and carried her upstairs by now. She loved when he just picked her up and held her it made her feel safe.
"No, its Ric, can you come over to the boarding house?" he asked, he knew that Jenna knew, she was with Mason, she had to know. If she didn't then something was seriously wrong. The guy's body temperature was at least a hundred and ten on a normal day. During the full moons it probably rose to about hundred and fifty at the highest point.
Jenna took a moment to process where Ric had asked her to come before she sat up, "What did Damon do to him?" she had seen Mason and Damon's alpha male moments. Mason had told her all about what Damon had done the other night after her BBQ too. She had spiked his shot glass with vervian the last time he was over for what he had done. She kept a nice long stake handy too because she was going to teach the older Salvatore a good hard lesson if he touched Mason again.
"He's alive, but they had a fight and I just think it's better if you at least knew, and possibly came here," Ric said. He loved Jenna, but she was in love with the werewolf that was lying on the floor. He knew she wouldn't just forget about her best friend and fiancé for him. They had a daughter together and Mason had said he was staying for good earlier. It was the other reason Damon had decided to take his anger out on Mason.
Jenna got up off the couch going upstairs after she told Ric she would be there. She checked Jeremy's room noticing that he was thankfully there. She decided to get a few things before she woke him up. She wasn't taking Lily with her because she wanted to keep her daughter safe. The one thing she knew Damon wouldn't do was hurt her daughter, but she didn't want her seeing her dad right now. If Mason was badly hurt it might scare her, even if she wasn't too old to understand things. The little girl could understand screams and shouts.
Ric looked down at Mason and gave him a weak smile, "You got an amazing woman," he went to get some towels after he got Mason into the tub. It was going to require more than just his self to clean him up. It was the reason he had called Jenna, she knew how to take care of him. They had probably done a lot of that when they were teenagers.

Mason opened his eyes again when he woke back up and this time he saw Jenna beside him. He thought he was dreaming at first, but he could feel her hand against his body. "Jen," His vision was still blurry because of the wolfsbane, but after a few moments he saw just one of her.
"Hey," she said, trying not to cry, she had somehow kept the tears away when she first saw him. Ric had helped her get his clothes off before he had left so she could take care of him. "I thought I lost you," it had been almost an hour since he had moved. She had kept on hoping and praying that he would wake up because there was no way she could live without him. She was pissed already about the stupid feud that had started.
She kissed him gently not wanting to hurt him letting the tears fall finally. He was starting to heal now that the wolfsbane was leaving his body, but it was going to take time. She still remembered what it did to him during the full moons when he drank it. "I'm sorry, I guess I shouldn't have told Liz," Mason said reaching up wiping her tears away. "I never meant to hurt you too, but I did,"
"Did you not think about the retaliation?" she about shouted, she was upset, scared, and the tears were pouring now. She didn't stop until she had named everything he had forgotten. She started with the retaliation and ended with Caroline dying. Caroline didn't deserve what Katherine had done to her, but they were all trying to help keep her alive. "Her mom's a vampire hunter, did you not think what would happen, you promised not start any fights," she said before wrapping her arms around him.
Mason knew he had screwed up and he had known she would yell at him. He just wanted to keep Lily and her safe, but it really wasn't working. It kept coming back to the feud that started years ago. He was going to have to try and work his issues out because he wasn't leaving. "If I could do it differently I would, can you forgive me?" She might love him always, but she could hold sex over his head for a few weeks if she wanted to.
"You're so going to get hurt later," Jenna said trying her best to glare at him, but she couldn't stay mad at him.
"I already am, can we just count this as you hurting me too?" He asked giving her the best smile he could muster up.
"No," Jenna said before she pulled the plug on the tub. She was sure by now that he would have some strength back and could walk to the couch in the next room. She walked into the next room getting the bag she had brought for him too.
She had already made it clear that till she could get him home that she'd be staying. She really hoped he would be healed enough by morning to do just that. She was also going to have a conversation with Damon. It would be more her shoving a stake in his back just inches from his heart.
Mason got up still weak, but he got to sink area before Jenna got back. He didn't know how he was going to get dressed, but figured she would help him. She helped him after every full moon that she was there for. She was his saving grace and so was their daughter. He wouldn't be here now if it wasn't for the two of them.

Jenna came back into the bathroom with some clothes for him and after a few minutes they got them on. She was glad that Ric had called her; because she didn't trust anybody else take care of him. She had protected him before months ago when she'd had the first run in with Jules and her pack. They hadn't taken kindly to her since she wasn't a werewolf too. She'd made it clear that she wasn't leaving when she'd punched Jules in the face. She had to defend herself because Mason had been detained by Brady.
They got the the living room area near the bathroom and laid down on the make shift bed that she'd put together. "The two of us are going to my family's lake house this weekend," Jenna said running her hand along his arm, she wanted to hold him closer to her, but she didn't want to hurt him. HIs entire body had marks, cuts, burns, and all on him.
"Sounds good," Mason said glad that his mouth had healed quickly from earlier, when Damon shoved wolfsbane down his throat whole. He still felt like it was there, but he knew he was safe with Jenna now. He still smiled at the sight of her taking Jules on; she had gotten in a great punch. "Thank you, for taking care of me again, I'll try and stay out of trouble," he said as his eyes started closing.
Jenna laughed knowing that trouble always found them, "You're welcome," she whispered resting her head on his good shoulder. She would never stop saving him and she was going to punch Damon when she saw him too.
