Helping Hands:

"So what are you saying? Like you could turn into a werewolf like your uncle?" Beth asked Tyler in a hushed whisper. They were at the grill and Tyler called her earlier to talk about what his uncle told him. She didn't want to let on about her knowing about werewolves so she played along. Besides she knew it was good to find out what ever she could about Mason, especially since he almost attacked them last night.

"Apparently, but that's only if I trigger the curse. Listen, I know how it sounds, crazy and stupid but I saw a wolf in the woods." Tyler said leaning in towards her so no one could hear them. He didn't tell her it was his uncle because he promised not to tell anyone.

"No, its okay, Ty. I believe you. It's just a lot to take in." She told him surprised. He nodded in agreement. "How do you trigger the curse? And why do you think your uncle wants the moonstone?"

"I have no idea. He's says it's sentimental but that's a bunch of crap. And he says you…you have to kill someone; they have to dir by your own hands to trigger it. And then every full moon you lose it." Tyler said running a hand through his hair. Beth grabbed his other hand, comfortingly.

"Don't worry. It's going to be okay." She smiled at him and he gave her a weak smile in return. She saw someone out of the corner of her eye walk up to them.

"Hey, man. How have you been?" Jeremy asked Tyler standing next to Beth. He nodded at her. Beth knew now that Jeremy knew about vampires and he knew she was a witch too.

"Since when?" Tyler asked coldly. Beth kicked him under the table and he shot her a look.

"I don't know man, I haven't seen you much since your father's funeral. I just figured maybe you'd want…" Jeremy trailed off.

"I'm fine, Gilbert!" Tyler snapped, slightly irritated. Beth knew it was just him trying to deal with everything but he still shouldn't act like that. Jeremy got the hint from his tone.

"Yeah, okay." He said starting to walk away. Beth looked at Tyler and he just shrugged. She gave him an annoyed look. "What?"

"Don't be a dick, Ty. He's just trying to help." She hissed at him. She gave him a knowing look. Tyler sighed, knowing she was right and turned to Jeremy.

"Wait, hold up! I'm sorry. Bad day, bad month. Listen, you were cool that day at the wake. Thanks for that. I felt like kind of a freak show." He admitted softly.

"Yeah I know the feeling well." He replied. Beth kind of sensed they needed a moment alone so she got up.

"Listen guys I have to go. I promised Elena that I would be at the volunteer picnic. I'll see you later though." Beth smiled at them both as she got up and left the Grill, hoping they'd get along. She went outside and walked over to the public park that was already crowded and still filling up with people.

Beth spotted Elena and Caroline painting the veranda and decided to go help them. She walked over to them and took of her jacket. "Sorry, I'm late. I was talking with Tyler and I got distracted. What did I miss?" Beth asked as she grabbed a brush from a container and dipped it in the paint can.

"Nothing. I was just asking Elena, how things are going for her and Stefan." She told her. Beth nodded; Caroline had already told her that they had a fight at the grill the other night. She thought it was kind of odd since she never thought of them as the fighting type. "So anything?" She asked Elena.

"No, not since the fight. He's been pushing me away because he thinks Katherine might get jealous enough to hurt me. I just don't know how to change his mind." Elena told them wistfully as she began to paint again.

"You said that Katherine is dangerous. Maybe he has a point." Caroline offered, siding with Stefan.

"Yeah, I know that she's dangerous and I know that he's just trying to protect me but it feels like giving up and I just …" Elena drifted off her sentence.

"Just what?" Beth asked her sympathetically.

"I just thought we were stronger than that." Elena said sadly looking at them. Caroline looked guilty for a second and then turned back to her job. Helping around the park seemed to help Elena get her mind of Stefan. At least until she saw him while they were painting the side of a wall. They both glance at each other before turned away.

"Oh no." Caroline said looking at Stefan and catching the glances. "Longing looks are being exchanged." Elena sighed as she stood up.

"I'm going to go talk to him." She told them determined as she wiped her hand on her jeans.

"No, Elena, I think it's a bad idea." Caroline said quickly but Elena was already leaving them.

"She'll be okay." Beth told her. "She can take care of herself." Damon walked up and nodded at Beth and Caroline as he watched Elena stalk off to Stefan.

"What's her problem?" Damon asked them.

"Don't worry about it." Caroline said to him.

He turned the subject on her. "Why are you being a bitch to your mom?" He asked narrowing his eyes at her.

"Don't worry about it." She repeated, irritated at them. Beth could see Damon about to make a remark. She didn't want to hear them fight. She understood why Caroline didn't like Damon. She told her everything but she still didn't think Damon was all bad, not when he saved her from being attacked.

"Both of you stop it." Beth snapped at them. They both were taken aback but stopped. Damon wandered over to Beth, though he wasn't talking to her. Beth looked at Caroline. She was same. Both seemed distracted. She then saw their eyes flicker to Stefan and Elena and she knew they were eavesdropping. "Eavesdropping, Damon? I'm shocked at you."

"I wouldn't call it that. They know where they are and who can hear them. I can't just turn it off and on whenever you know." He said as though it was obvious and Beth rolled her eyes at him and went back to painting.

"Relationships are about communication." Damon informed them as they saw Elena walk away. Caroline scoffed and walked away. Damon just shrugged. Beth gave him a confused look. "Elena and little brother seemed to be over." She sighed.

"Must you always be an ass to everyone?" Beth asked him.

"Well, not always." He smirked at her. She just shook her head at him. She stood up and saw Damon's attention move over to Mason. He furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. "I'll see you later." He said about to leave.

"Wait, be careful, Damon." She warned him giving him a look. She knew that he might do something dangerous for himself. Especially when it comes to him.

"Don't worry, Sabrina. I can take care of the big bad wolf." He winked at her before taking off. She just shook her head at him. She was getting a bad feeling about today. She watched Damon walk up to Mason who was near the lemonade before she decided to find Elena. She would need a friend right now.

She walked all around the park for a good ten minutes before she finally saw Elena sitting down beside the lake, alone. Caroline walked up behind Beth and she nodded when she pointed out Elena. They walked down to meet her. They both sat on either sides of her. "Are you okay?" Beth asked her, sympathetically.

"No." Elena told them truthfully. Beth placed a hand on her back.

"You know, maybe it's for the best." Caroline said on the positive side. Beth shook her head towards her, knowing that's not what Elena wants to hear right now.

"It's not for the best, Caroline! None of this is for the best." She snapped at her. Caroline looked down. Elena pushed a piece of hair behind her ear. "I'm sorry, okay? I…I don't mean to take it out on you. You're just being a good friend. You both are." She told them. Caroline looked guilty, which confused Beth.

"No, I'm not. I'm not being a good friend at all." She admitted sadly. Before she could go on she saw her mom. She looked confused. "Is she leaving? Where is my mom going?" She asked taking off after her.

"What's going on?" Elena asked Beth as they got up.

"I have no idea." She said honestly as they went after Caroline. They saw her talking to her mom who left before they could get there. Caroline looked suspicious. "Care, what's going on?" She asked her.

"I don't know. Something's up." She said, vaguely. She walked off and Elena and Beth hurried to follow. She knew Caroline had an idea so she would let her play it out. They walked up the hill where they could see the entire town square. They were right near the woods.

"Where are you going? What's going on?" Elena asked confused as they stopped but Caroline was trying to concentrate.

"I need to be able to hear better." Caroline told them.

"Hear what?"

"Something's wrong, Elena." Caroline said seriously. Beth could sense it too, something was happening and she didn't see either of the Salvatore brothers.

"Caroline…"

Both Caroline and Beth said, "Shhh." Caroline closed her eyes and focused as she tried to hear what was going on. Caroline knew her mother was acting weird and Beth could sense something was off. After a minute, Caroline's eyes flashed open shocked. "Oh, God."

"What's wrong?" Beth asked her worried.

"Stefan and Damon!" She said urgently. She ran into the woods as Elena and Beth followed her. They knew they should trust Caroline on where to go. Her senses were keener then theirs were. They ran for a while until Caroline stopped suddenly, looking down on the ground.

"What is it?" Elena asked worried. She knew something bad happened to Stefan and she needed to find him.

"They've been here." Caroline stated as she bent down. Her eyes caught something. She picked up a plant that had some blood on it. Beth hoped it wasn't Stefan or Damon's but she knew it probably was.

"What?"

Before Caroline could explain, they heard twigs breaking. Mason appeared looking surprised. "What are you three doing out here?" He asked them as he looked at all of them.

"Have you seen Stefan or Damon?" Beth asked him. He turned to her.

"Yeah, I've seen them both." He told them.

"Where are they?" Elena asked him getting worried and impatient. Caroline was staring at him, anxious.

"You don't need me for that. I'll let your friend here sniff them out." He said looking at Caroline. She froze. He knew what she was. "Does your mother know what you are? I'll be happy to tell her." He threatened stepping forwards. She went to move towards him but he grabbed Elena from behind by her neck. "Don't be stupid! Necks snap easy around here."

"I can take you." She informed him but sounded slightly unsure of herself. Caroline looked at Beth who nodded.

"Want to bet?" He challenged. Beth concentrated on his hand and soon it started to burn and he quickly let go of Elena.

"Yeah, I do!" She said sounding more confident this time as she rushed him and pushes him against a tree. "Told you." She bragged as she kicked him hard in the leg and threw him on the ground. She kicked him in the stomach once more hard and he was thrown into the tree. She turned to Elena and Beth who were looking at her in awe and surprise. "Come on." She told them before running off.

They ran until they reached the entrance to the cellar of the old Lockwood house. Caroline stopped though as she listened. "What is that?" Elena asked her. She seemed to be scared of what was happening. "Caroline! Caroline, what is it?"

"My mom. She's killing them." She said shocked that her mom would do something like that.

"What? We have to stop her!" Elena cried out before turning to go but Caroline stopped her.

"No, I can't! She's going to find out about me!" Caroline said worried. Beth couldn't wait any longer, knowing she was going to kill them. Elena followed right behind her. "Beth! Elena!"

Beth and Elena both raced down the stairs to find them. When they reached the door of the cell, one of deputies saw them. Beth concentrated on a nearby plank on the ground and lifted it up to hit the deputy and knock him unconscious. They raced into the cell. "Elena? Beth? What are you two doing here?" Liz asked her gun and two other deputies aimed at the weak Salvatore brothers who were on the floor.

"You can't kill them! We're not going to let you." Elena told her. They all heard a noise and then the door closed itself. Beth looked around and didn't see anything.

"What was that?" One of the deputies asked, looking around.

"Who else is with you?" Liz asked them. Suddenly, Caroline attacked one of the deputies and drained them of blood and rushed to the other run and knocked him out. A blood stained Caroline stepped out of the shadows to face her mother.

"Hi mom."
