Caroline's POV

"So you're telling me that two wolves just came here and attacked you, without any provocation? Why would they do that? It's not even a full moon. You could have killed them." Alaric says. I'm not really surprised that it is taking Alaric this long to process what Damon has just told us about the attack. Alaric never believes anything Damon says, until there's concrete proof. This whole thing would go a lot faster if Stefan would speak up and back up his brother, but surprisingly Stefan stays completely silent. Usually he's in the thick of the plotting and scheming. Now he's just sits silent nursing all his wounds.

"I bet you it was Tyler that little punk probably found out that I killed Mason and that we're vampires, and now he wants revenge. Got Mason's girlfriend to help him out. I have to kill them. Before the next full moon or else they'll come after us again." Damon says, as he rubs his shoulder. He hasn't had enough blood to fully heal, and he's tired. I want to ask him to sit down, but all he seems to be able to do is pace. Besides, I'm too distracted at the idea of Tyler and Damon battling it out.

"It couldn't have been Tyler; he wouldn't try and kill anyone. He's still too confused about what he is to do any damage. Besides he doesn't know about you guys being vampires, and I know for a fact that he's helping his mom set up for the Lockwood annual barbeque, so he couldn't have been here attacking you." Damon's eyes shoot up and it seems like he wants to argue with me, but something makes him refrain. May be it's the desperation in my voice.

"Fine, then we all go to the barbeque and see if we can figure out who attacked us, and what they want. If anyone thinks they're being threatened, go in for the kill. I don't want anyone taking any chances. Elena, you and Jeremy stay here." He says, moving into motion.

Predictably, Elena and Jeremy both get up and with a solid "no" declare that they're coming too. As Elena and Damon argue, I take a moment to look around at the others in the room. Out of everyone I'm most worried about Stefan. Neither of the brothers are up for a fight right now, but Stefan's silence means that there's something he's worried about. Something big that he's not telling us. Usually he would be fighting right alongside with Damon to keep Elena out of the fight, but his mouth is set in a frown, and he seems miles away. He's not even looking at them. Instead he seems to be gazing at the carpet, motionless. Before I have anytime to approach him, Damon is pulling my arm.

"Come on Barbie. I'm going to need you to distract Tyler." He says, and two minutes later were out the door.
