Twisted Love
Season Two
By the Light of the Moon
DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the Vampire Diaries, I only own Grace and Fayth :)
Grace yawned softly as she woke up from her deep slumber, rubbing her chocolate brown orbs she slowly adjusted to the light in the room. Rolling onto her side she saw that Damon was still fast asleep facing away from her onto his side. Leaning over she pressed several small kisses along his jaw line to wake him up.
"Hey." She whispered rolling him onto his back from his side to straddle his waist "Wake up, sleepy."
Damon groaned blinking a couple of times, rubbing his hands up and down her sides "Morning, Gracie."
"Morning." Grace ran her finger tips over his firm pecks loving the feeling of his warm skin under her small fingertips "You going to see Stefan today?"
"Yep, then I'll come help you babysit Elena." Damon replied brushing her long locks of chocolate brown hair from her eyes as she looked down at him "But first." He flipped her over so she was underneath him, she giggled as they tangled themselves in the thin sheet that covered them both.
"Damon." She whined but he began to attack her neck with butterfly kisses making her squirm under him.
Tyler was in the Lockwood Mansion inside of his father's office as he continued to watch Mason's transformation movie on is laptop whilst preparing everything he would need for the full moon that was tonight, grabbing his phone he called Mason but once again he didn't answer.
"Mason, it's Tyler again." Tyler spoke to the dead werewolf's voice mail "Look, your cell's voice mail is full. I need to talk to you. It's a full moon tomorrow and… I found your recording and I'm freaking out. So, just call me back, please." He hung up sighing heavily, placing his phone back into his pocket with shaking hands.
At Mason's apartment in Florida Tyler's message was playing aloud to a unknown blonde female standing there in fitted black skinny jeans, knee high boots and a thing white tank top. She had long locks of honeycomb blonde curled hair with a evil smirk planted on her lips.
Elena was up in her bedroom sitting on the bed cross legged whilst inspecting the smooth, white moonstone in her hands, Bonnie walked in the room crossing her arms over her chest walking in to sit next to her on the bed.
"Now that you've got this back, what are you gonna do with it?" Elena asked curiously.
"Right now it's what is binding the sun and the moon curse. If I can figure out a way to remove the spell from the stone, the stone becomes useless." Bonnie informed her.
"And according to Katherine and Fayth, Klaus becomes vengeful." Grace stood in the doorway to the room.
"Maybe if he finds out." Bonnie shrugged.
"Bonnie, can this wait? Stefan is stuck in the tomb with Katherine and Fayth. We've got to get him out." Elena stood up next to Grace who nodded understandingly.
"Stefan wants me to focus on this." Bonnie replied.
"Don't listen to him. He thinks that he's protecting me but he's wrong." Elena vented.
"I'm taking Stefan's side with this one." Bonnie looked at the twins "We're not gonna let you get used in some creepy sacrifice ritual."
"Ok, I agree with that too." Grace nodded.
Jeremy walked in the room, and Bonnie took the moonstone from Elena's hands placing it inside her bag away from the doppelgänger and the vampire.
"What are you guys arguing about?" Jeremy asked cocking an eye brow.
"We're not arguing about anything." Bonnie stated as she rose from her seat leaving her bag on the bed "I need a coffee." Bonnie shot a look at Jeremy as she walked past him.
"What?" Elena looked at him.
"Why are you on some suicide mission?" Jeremy asked.
"I'm trying to prevent everyone else from getting hurt." Elena growled.
"Oh so, bringing Klaus the moonstone so you can get yourself killed is ok?" Jeremy rolled his eyes as he left the room.
"C'mon, we're leaving." Elena grabbed the moonstone.
Grace blocked the door "Elena, I'm not sure that's a great idea. This isn't going to end well for anyone."
"Grace, your either with me, or against me." Elena told her "Please, I need you right now. I need my sister."
"Of course, you play the sister card." Grace smirked and Elena pleaded her with her big brown eyes "I can't loose you, Elena."
"I know." Elena nodded "But you need to trust me."
The vampire let out a heavy sigh as she walked downstairs to see Bonnie, she was waiting at the bottom of the stairs arms crossed, Grace smiled a little.
"Where are you going?" Bonnie cocked an eye brow.
"To see Damon." Grace replied casually "Elena's coming we're going to check on Stefan."
"You're lying." Bonnie hissed.
"No, she's not." Elena stood behind Grace holding her keys in her hand.
"Really? Tell your face." Bonnie shook her head.
"Are you serious?" Elena rolled her eyes.
"She took the moonstone." Jeremy stood at the top of the stairs searching through Bonnie's bag.
Elena gasped "How did you-"
"We tested you, and you failed. Both of you." She looked at Grace.
"Klaus killed Katherine and Fayth's entire family just because she crossed him. I can't let that happen." Elena told them.
Bonnie moved aside and Elena walked towards the door to be held back up an invisible barrier, she presses her hands against it unable to leave her own house.
"What did you do?" Elena looked back at the witch.
"It's for the best, Elena." Bonnie's voice was low.
"Grace. Help." Elena begged.
"I'm sorry, Elena. There's nothing I can do." Grace shook her head apologetically as she walked towards the door about to leave "I'm going to check on Damon-" She hit the barrier too unable to get out.
"I'm sorry, Damon told me to lock you in too." Bonnie told her softly.
"Are you kidding me?" Grace asked "Bonnie, you have to let me out. I can't be trapped in a house."
Down in the tomb Damon was standing at the entrance talking with his trapped younger brother whilst Katherine and Fayth stood a little further in listening to the brother's.
"You trapped them both in the house?" Stefan asked.
"It's for the best. Trust me. Elena is on a martyr tear that rivals your greatest hits." Damon smirked.
"And Grace?" Stefan pried.
"Well, as much as I love the girl she can't be trusted at the moment, plus you said you wanted Grace to protect Elena, her being in the same house is doing that." Damon shrugged as he threw a bag at Stefan "I brought you this. Care package: candles, lanterns and..." Damon pulled out a bottle of blood "Lunch."
"Give that to me and I'm just gonna have to share it with them." Stefan tilted his head in the direction of the twins.
"Yeah..." Damon nodded.
"You two are surprisingly calm considering Klaus will hunt you down and kill you if you mess with his little plan." Fayth announced.
"I've been dead before. I got over it." Damon narrowed his eyes at her before looking back at his brother "Once we deal with this moonstone, we'll figure a way to get you out." He promised.
"Don't worry about me. Just keep the girls safe." Stefan told him before Damon turned and left the tomb.
Tyler packed a big bag of supplies that he would need for tonight full moon, his mother saw him packing his items and walks towards him, Tyler's heart rate increased as he tried to keep calm.
"Heading out?" Carol questioned.
"Yeah… lunch at the Grill, I've got practice and I'll probably go out after. I'll be late." Tyler lied as he walked towards the door opening it, a pretty blonde woman with dazzling bright blue eyes was standing there with a kind smile on her face.
"Hi." She smiled at the two, it was the same woman that was in Mason's apartment in Florida.
"Hi." Tyler creased his eye brows at her, confused to who this mystery woman was standing in his doorstep, the woman caught this look and laughed a little.
"Sorry. Rude. You have no idea who I am." She chuckled shaking her blonde head "I'm Jules, a friend of Mason's from Florida. You must be Tyler."
"Yeah. Nice to meet you." He shook her hand, juggling his large gym bag at the same time.
"So, I know it's weird for me to just stop by but I'm trying to track down Mason…" She looked at the two for information, but sadly they had none.
"Mason's back in Florida. He has been for a while now." Carol answered her confusion covered her facial expressions.
"See… That's the thing… he's not." She gnawed her on her bottom lip gently.
At Mystic Grill across town Jenna was sitting at a both with new boyfriend Alaric discussing a job Carol Lockwood has got Jenna to do, she wasn't really looking forward to it.
"So now I'm playing historical society hostess to some writer who's doing his book on small town Virginia." Jenna informed him.
"Well that sounds…" Alaric tried to find the words.
"Lame, yeah but Carol Lockwood played the dead husband card, said she was too busy to deal with it. Plus, my sister kept most of the archives so there you have it." She laughed gently as she rose from her seat pecking his lips gently before leaving.
Alaric noticed Tyler enter the Grill, he seemed edgy as he started walking straight over to Caroline, who was only sitting a table away from him, he could listen easily to the conversation they were having.
"Hey." Tyler greeted her with a worried smile.
"Hey. What's wrong?" Caroline asked slightly concerned for the soon-to-be werewolf.
"This girl Mason knows stopped by the house. She said he never made it back to Florida. My mom is freaking out and she was on the phone with your mom when I left." Tyler informed her, Alaric creased his eye brows at the conversation "We should get going."
"Yeah." Caroline agreed looking at Alaric as the two left.
Grace was stood in the kitchen of the Gilbert house making Elena and Jeremy some food when the front door opened and footsteps entered the house walking towards the kitchen, she didn't move from where she was standing.
"Gracie, I'm home." Damon peaked around the corner at her "well, not home, but here." He joked
"You're so lucky I don't stab you with this knife." Grace hissed as she clenched a incredibly sharp, rather large knife in her hand.
"Take your best shot, honey." He dared his breath-taking bright blue orbs flashing with humour.
"Fine." She zipped towards him but before she could ever get close to him she was forced against the wall, so her chest was pressed against the wall and the tip of the knife pressed against her hip.
"Don't move." Damon whispered huskily in her ear, shrugging him away Grace walked back to the kitchen counter and Damon chuckled to himself "C'mon, pouty. At least give me two points of ingenuity."
"Do you think this is funny?" Grace spat "I'm locked in a house, Damon."
"Sure, Gracie. I find hilarity in the lengths that I have to go to keep you and your suicidal sister safe." Damon narrowed his eyes at her, not mad at her, but more at the fact that she doesn't understand why he was doing this to her.
"What does Stefan say about all this?" Grace asked as she saw Elena standing in the arch way leading into the kitchen.
"We had a good laugh." He joked.
"And what did he say about Elijah being alive?" Grace asked again cocking an eye brow.
"Yeah, that... I didn't tell him." Damon shrugged.
"Why not?" Elena asked.
"Well, A) He can't do anything about it; and B)... what I just said." He looked at Grace before seeing Jeremy enter the room "Where is Bonnie?" Damon asked casually.
"I thought she was meeting you." Jeremy replied.
"No, she's on moonstone duty and I'm on Grace and Elena patrol." Damon smiled at the twins who both glared back at him.
"And who's on Tyler Lockwood and the full moon?" Jeremy questioned.
"Vampire Barbie asked me if she can handle it and why not? Figured if she screwed up he'll bite her and then I'll be rid of two of my problems." He told them all carelessly.
"Damon." Grace warned "Oh crap, Tyler was turning tonight. I hope he'll be ok." She asked her eyes widening slightly.
"Yep. Whatever." Damon popped the 'p'
"Hold on a second. Tonight's a full moon?" Elena asked.
"Yep, so you stay out of the woods this time unless you want to die for real this time." Damon threw Grace a look as he answered his ringing phone and she scoffed "What?"
"Sheriff Forbes has officially declared Mason Lockwood a missing person." Alaric told him from where he stood in the Grill.
"What? Why?" Damon asked and Grace looked at him being able to hear the conversation.
"Some girl from Florida showed up on the Lockwood's door step looking for Mason." Alaric replied.
"What girl?" Damon questioned creasing his eye brows.
"I don't know, but she sure got everyone in a tizzy." Alaric told him.
"That's not good. Where are you?" Damon asked.
"I'm at the Grill." Alaric answered.
"I'm on my way." Damon hung up shoving his phone back in his pocket "Change of plans, you're on suicide watch." He looked at Jeremy who nodded "Hey, why don't you come with me to the Grill." He smirked at Grace "Oh wait, you can't." He and Jeremy both laughed
The younger vampire growled as she launched a knife into his gut and he winced slightly before he laughed as pulled it out placing it on the side next to him.
The young human boy and the doppelgänger gasped as Damon caught Grace in his arms slamming her against the wall in the hallway. He had felt that his wound had already healed, but it had left a hole in his shirt.
"That wasn't nice." Damon pouted "You've hurt my feelings, sweetheart."
"Get off." She squirmed.
"You say that as if you don't like being held like this." He wrapped her legs around his waist and a rosie tinge appeared on her cheeks and a cocky smile plastered his perfect lips.
Damon kissed her passionately, sliding his tongue in her mouth making her pull his hair gently. Moving down to her slender neck breathing on it gently, a moan escaped her lips and she tried to kiss him again but he denied her. Placing her gently on her tiny feet he smirked before leaving the house.
In the woods Caroline stops the car looking across as Tyler got out first opening the trunk to get all his things out, the blonde was trying to find the right words to comfort him on the his missing uncle, he had already lost so many people.
"Maybe he just stopped to go surf somewhere." The vampire suggested "Isn't that Mason's whole thing?"
"Maybe." Tyler muttered "This girl just seemed to think he would have called."
"I'm sure he's ok." Caroline held his gaze for a second.
"Yeah, anyway... let's do this." Tyler nodded.
Back at the Lockwood Mansion, Jules was just leaving, being escorted out by Carol Lockwood, they stood on the porch talking about Mason.
"so you'll call me as soon as you hear anything?" Jules looked at her hope written in her eyes.
"Of course." Carol nodded.
"Oh, I didn't get to say goodbye to your son." Jules remembered Tyler.
"I'm afraid he's at the Grill with his friends. I'll let him know." The blonde turned to leave but Carol stopped her "Jules... Let's hope for the best." Carol smiled assuringly at her.
Jules bid her goodbye and walked to her large car getting inside and pulling away from the mansion, as soon as she got outside the gates Jules pulled out her phone talking to a mystery person.
"Hey, I'm here. No one knows where Mason is. He's missing. You were right, Mason was lying, there's another werewolf. His nephew." She informed the person.
As Jules continued to drive through Mystic Falls she appeared outside of the Mystic Grill, parking her car she walks inside when she saw a young boy busting tables, it was Matt Donovan.
"Hey, excuse me." She stopped him from working "Crazy question: do you know Tyler Lockwood?"
Across the bar Alaric and Damon were watching Jules as she spoke with Matt, they could hear the conversation she was having with the human boy.
"Mmm, Mason's mystery woman." Damon announced as he sipped his drink.
"Where is Mason anyway?" Alaric asked.
"Decomposing in his truck." Damon answered like it was nothing.
"So you think she is a werewolf?" Alaric questioned.
"Well I hope not, being that it's a full moon, Ric, but we should definitely find out." The vampire reached into his jacket pocket to pull out a small plastic wallet with a yellow herb inside.
"What is that?" Alaric asked.
"Wolfsbane." A devilish smile creeped onto the vampires face.
At the old Lockwood Property in the underground in the ruins Tyler was preparing for the full moon, Caroline was helping him doing all that she could.
"Tell me you brought the instruction manual." Caroline announced as she saw Tyler securing the chains.
"Tell me you brought the wolfsbane." Tyler countered looked over his shoulder at her.
"Yes. Not an easy herb to find. This is it." She held the wolfsbane out to him, as he went to take it his skin sizzled on contact.
"I have water bottles in my bag." Tyler informed her retracting his hand "we can mix it in there."
Caroline walked over to Tyler's bag and pulled out a small bottle of water, placing the wolfsbane inside she began to mix it and the water turned a deep yellow colour, almost gold.
"The guy at the hardware store said this set up could resist up to 5000 pounds." Tyler informed her tugging on one of the chains to test how strong they were.
"Is that more than a werewolf can pull?" Caroline questioned.
"I have no idea." Tyler replied simply.
"Hey Tyler, how are you doing?" Caroline asked kindly seeing that he was rushing around.
"Still human." Tyler replied before taking off his shirt to reveal his toned, tanned abs and chest, Caroline turned around and saw him undressing, she turned straight back around covering her eyes.
"Oh my God, you're not gonna get naked, are you?" Caroline asked.
"It's elastic." Tyler smirked "What should I wear? I don't think it's like The Hulk, where I get to keep my pants." He joked and Caroline turned away again let out a small breath.
At Jonas and Luka's apartment, Bonnie approached the door knocking it gently to be greeted by the young disappointed face of Luka Martin standing there.
"Hi." She smiled simply as she showed him his necklace and he snatched it from her hands sliding it into his pocket.
"I don't know what makes me more upset: that I showed you how to channel or that you almost killed me." He narrowed his eyes.
"Luka, I'm so sorry. I wouldn't have done what I did unless it was really important. It's just that there are things that I-"
"I forgive you." Luka cut her off with a nice smile, he moved out the way so that she could walk into his house.
It was amazing inside, there was old books scattered around the place, stacking up high, she ran her fingers over the material dust brushing off onto her fingers.
"Wow. So much stuff." Bonnie noted wiping her hands on her black jeans as she saw Luka looking through one of the books, she titled her head gently "Is that a grimoire?" She asked.
"They're all grimoires." Luka replied gesturing to the many books around him.
Bonnie's mouth fell ajar, there was possible over 30 books in that one room, maybe more around the house "How did you get all these?" She asked surprised.
"Witches from all over the world have collected their spells in grimoires over the centuries, most of them have gotten lost and my dad is obsessed with finding them, and making sure that our family heritage stays intact." Luka explained.
"This can't all be your families?" Bonnie looked around the room in surprise.
"Well the way he sees it, all witches are family." Luka shrugged "We're all bonded together by a code of loyalty to help each other." He smiled at her.
"So that's why you've been so nice to me." Bonnie smirked at him.
"That's one reason." Luka flirted.
"Listen... do you know how to break the bind between a talisman and a spell?" Bonnie questioned hopefully, he was a better warlock than she was a witch, he had been brought up with getting used to magic, he was her only hope.
"That depends because spells are unique and very special, but I'm sure we can figure it out." Luka winked.
Jules was sitting alone at the bar still in at the Grill, just about to finish of her drink when Alaric stumbled over pretending to be drunk so that he could spike her drink with wolfsbane.
"Well hello. Can I have a scotch and whatever this beautiful woman is drinking?" Alaric ordered.
"No, one if my limit." She shook her head denying the drink.
"Oh come on, it's not like I'm a freak. I'm just being friendly to somebody who's new to town." He grinned charmingly.
"Ok, if you insist." Jules laughed rolling her bright blue eyes "How do you know I'm new?" She eyed him suspiciously.
"Because I've never seen you here before and I am here every night." He joked and Jules laughed.
Damon arrived the over side of Jules giving him a look "Excuse me, is this guy bothering you?"
"I'm not bothering anybody." Alaric slurred.
"Perfect. Well... do it elsewhere." Damon's eyes flashed with warning "Don't worry, he's harmless. He's sort of the town drunk." Jules and Alaric's drink arrived, quickly the human emptied the wolfsbane into her drink whilst Damon captured her line of sight "And you know, when we get tired of him we just put him in a cab and send him back to wherever he came from."
"Please don't talk about me like I'm not here." Alaric handed Jules her drink.
"Why are you here?" Damon narrowed his eyes.
"Thanks for the drink." Jules nodded at him, Alaric rose his glass in a cheers fashion before stumbling away across the bar sitting down at a table keeping an eye on the vampire and werewolf.
Stefan was laying on his back in a bed, arm slung across his eyes trying to block out the twins, the light from the dimly lit candles and the deep feeling of hunger burning his throat, igniting through his whole body.
"So we're fasting now?" Katherine asked "We're so pious. How long have you actually gone without blood? I know you get desiccation in theory, Stefan, but in reality... it's much worse. Your heart still beats, struggling to pump whatever blood remains. When it's gone, your veins rub together like sand paper. It's excruciating." She purred and he sat up looking across at her.
"The pleasure I'll get from watching you suffer is greater than any pain I'll ever feel." Stefan narrowed his eyes at her cruelly.
"It's stuffy." Katherine complained running her hands through her satin hair "And I've been in this dress for days. You want to help me out of it? Come on, Stefan. Don't be such a grump." She pouted as she unzipped her dress sliding it off her toned body revealing her black panties and matching bra "You really think Damon is going to rush to get you out?" She scoffed "He's got what he wants: Grace."
"Stop." Stefan commanded.
"Given what's most certainly going on out there, I'd say you're free to do whatever you want in here. Nobody will ever know." She smirked kissing him.
Their kissing turned into a burning need and she removed his shirt revealing his amazing, slightly tanned body. Pushing her roughly against the wall he deepened the kiss further, knotting his hands in her hair.
Gasping as he woke up Stefan glared across at Katherine who was sitting there with Fayth, laughing and smiling at him. It had all been a dream planned out by the twins.
"Stay out of my head." He ordered narrowing his beautiful hazel eyes.
"Maybe I can do eternity in here after all." Katherine threw him a lopsided smile.
Grace and Elena sat up in her room talking about random things trying to pass the time, they had heard Jenna come home a little while ago and Jeremy was in his room listening to music whilst doing school work,
"I'm going to get a drink." Grace informed her getting up,
"Ok, can you grab me a coke?" Elena asked,
"Sure." Grace nodded walking from the room bouncing down the stairs to see that Jenna was in the cupboard under the stairs looking through boxes on a mission to find something.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Grace asked casually leaning against the banister.
"Perfect timing." Jenna handed her a heavy box of books and papers.
"What is this stuff?" Grace asked.
"Miranda's files from the historical society. I got roped into helping Mrs. Lockwood and by roped, I mean very excited to participate." She closed the door to reveal Elijah behind it, Grace was so startled to see him she almost dropped the box, she carefully placed it to the floor at her feet she was ready to fight if she needed to, although she would never win.
"Hey, I'm Elijah." He grinned at her, he was incredibly handsome, with his heart melting smile standing there in a casual suit, yet very much alive still.
"Elijah is in town doing some research on Mystic Falls." Jenna told Grace as Elijah stepped closer to her.
"It's a pleasure." Elijah reached out his hand for her to shake, carefully she placed her hand in his and shook.
"So you're welcome to stay here and rummage through this stuff or Grace and I could help you load it in our car." Jenna offered with a kind smile.
"Or I can get someone to pick it up tomorrow." Elijah returned the smile.
"Also a good plan." Jenna laughed as she walked over to the door.
"Thank you so much for inviting me into your home, Jenna." He then looked down at Grace "And Grace... I hope to see you sometime soon." He walked out the front door.
Grace zipped up the stairs as fast as she could and leaped to the closest door to her, which was Jeremy's she banged hard on it when Elijah was suddenly standing next to her, he placed his little finger over his mouth to signal her to be quiet.
"What is it?" Jeremy opened the door and Elijah hid against the wall, not breathing to make sure Jeremy didn't know he was there.
"Jenna was just asking me to get you to help with the boxes." Grace stuttered running her hands through her chocolate brown locks nervously.
"Yeah, ok." Jeremy nodded as he walked from the room, jogging down the stairs.
"A wise choice." Elijah nodded.
"Grace, what's going on?" Elena walked from her room to see Elijah standing there with his hand firmly on Grace's shoulder, her mouth fell ajar as she saw the original "Oh my God."
"I think it's time we all had a little chat." Elijah smiled.
Back at the Grill Damon continued to sit at the bar with Jules as they talked about where Jules would be staying whilst she was in Mystic Falls.
"There's a B&B down the road and there's a motel on I-90 but you know, if you asked me, it's kind of a mistake." Damon smirked.
"No it's fine. I'm just here for the night." She informed him "It's a long story, looking for my friend."
"Who?" Damon quizzed already knowing the answer.
"Mason Lockwood." She replied.
"I know Mason." Damon laughed as he sipped his drink eager to her get her to drink.
"You do?" Jules looked at him in surprise.
"Yeah. He's a great guy." Damon told her, it was a blatant lie.
"He's missing." Jules replied.
"What do you mean? Like... I mean, missing missing?" Damon looked at her eyes filled with fake sorrow.
"How do you know Mason?" Jules looked at him cocking a thin blonde eye brow.
"Friends of friends." Damon shrugged as he sipped his drink, Jules still was no drinking hers and Damon exchanged a look with Alaric.
Down in the Old Lockwood Property Tyler was no shirtless and all chained up, he was beginning to get anxious as he paced the room, Caroline sat away from him knees pulled up into her chest.
"What time is it?" Tyler asked.
"Almost 8." Caroline looked at her watch "What time does the moon crest or whatever?"
"Not for a while. Mason's journal said that first transformation can happen before the moon hits its apex." He explained.
"Does it say how long you'll actually be a wolf?" Caroline asked curiously.
"A few hours. Maybe more, maybe less." He answered vaguely as he walked towards her about to sit next to her when he was stopped by the chains, sighing heavily he grabbed the bottle of wolfsbane.
"Ar you sure you want to do that?" Caroline asked.
"Yeah. Mason said it'll diminish my strength so I can't break free." Tyler looked at the bottle wincing before chugging the bottle, he falls to the floor about to vomit, Caroline drops to the floor next to him.
"Tyler." She rubs his back soothingly.
"No." Tyler growled.
"Shh..." Tears wheeled up in her eyes.
"Don't! Don't!" Tyler coughed before looking up deep into her silver eyes "I'm sorry." He apologised or his out burst and she touched his face gently.
"Forgive the intrusion. I mean your family no harm." Elijah told both girls as they sat up in Elena's room looking out of her window.
"Why did you kill those vampires when they tried to take me?" Elena asked crossing her arms over her chest.
"Because I didn't want you to be taken. Klaus is the most feared and hated of the originals but those that fear him are desperate for his approval. If word gets out that the doppelgänger exists there'll be a line of vampire eager to take you to him and I can't have that." Elijah smiled "And once he knows that you are alive, little telepathic-vampire, he will come for you too, whether you are Vampire or human." He explained to Grace.
"Isn't that exactly what you're trying to do?" Elena asked.
"Why would he come for me? I'm no use to him." Grace shook his head.
"His love runs very deep, for women like you. You being a vampire is better for him, now he doesn't have to decide between you both, he has Elena and he can have you." Elijah explained and Grace looked at him eyes wide "Let's just say that my goal is not to break the curse."
"So what is your goal?" Grace asked.
"Klaus's obsession has made him paranoid. He's a recluse. He trust only those in his immediate circle." Elijah explained.
"Like you?" Elena asked.
"Not anymore." Elijah shook his head.
"You don't know where he is, do you?" Grace narrowed her eyes.
"So you're trying to use me to draw him out?" Elena asked.
"Possibly both of you." Elijah replied "But to do that you need to stay put and stop trying to get yourself killed, Elena."
"How do we know you're telling the truth?" Grace asked narrowing her eyes suspiciously.
"If I wasn't being truthful, all you friends would be dead and I'd be taking you to Klaus right now. Instead, I'm here and I'm preparing to offer you a deal." Elijah smiled at them linking his fingers together.
"What kind of deal?" Elena creased her eye brows.
"Do nothing." He replied simply "Do nothing, live your lives, stoping fighting and then, when the time is right, we shall draw out Klaus together and I shall make sure your friends remain unharmed." He smiled knowing he had them.
"Then what?" Grace asked.
"Then I kill him." Elijah replied.
"Just like that?" Grace scoffed.
"Just like that. I'm a man of my word, ladies. I make a deal, I keep a deal." He informed them.
"How are you gonna be able to keep everybody safe?" Elena asked.
"I noticed you have a friend Bonnie, is it? She seems to possess the gift of magic. I have friends with similar gift." He smiled.
"You know witches." Grace announced.
"Together we can protect everybody that matters to you. So do we have a deal?" Elijah questioned.
"I need you to do one more thing for me." Elena spoke up.
"We're negotiating now?" Elijah smirked at her.
On the roof of Jonas and Luka's apartment Bonnie was lighting some candles whilst Luka was looking in one of his many grimoires, searching for the right spell.
"You know, this is good. This is really good. There's a clear view of the moon and it's private." He informed her looking up at the bright moon in the sky.
"If anyone looks out, they're gonna think we're insane." Bonnie laughed.
"aren't we?" Luka joked his eyes flashing with a taunt "So what is this mysterious talisman we're unbinding?" She pulled the moonstone out of her pocket and Luka took it from her hands "Oh, wow, a white rock. This is fascinating."
Bonnie laughed "Hey! I know it doesn't look like much-"
"What's it spelled with?" Luka asked she didn't answer him, just looked down at her shoes avoiding eye contact "Really? Help a girl out, she still keeps secrets."
"Sorry." Bonnie sighed shaking her head gently.
"I'm just teasing you." He placed the stone in the palm of her hand and places his hands under hers. They both closed their eyes and begin to cast their spell, suddenly the stone rose into the air above their heads and explodes into lots of sparks and bright lights. It was destroyed.
Down in the old Lockwood cellar Tyler was in pain on the floor, the was trying to break the chains off, but Caroline was stopping him.
"Hey. Tyler. Tyler." She tried to get his attention but he began to cry out.
"I'm burning up." he announced "It burns!"
"I know. Just breathe through it, ok?" Caroline soothed him.
"I'm trying." Tyler cried "You should go. You should leave." He told her worried for her.
"Not yet." Caroline smiled, but a scream echoed the ruins and Caroline jolted when the stomach churning sounds of his bones bending and snapping erupted from Tyler's body, the vampire screamed at the sound and Tyler cried.
"It hurts. It hurts!"
Damon was still up at the bar with Jules and she still hadn't taken a sip of her drink that Alaric had spiked with wolfsbane.
"You know, listen, I'm really tight with the Sheriff. If there's anything I can do to help locate Mason, I will. He's a great guy after his brother's funeral, he stuck around and helped his nephew-"
"Tyler?" Jules asked.
"Yep. Mason was with him the whole time. Helped him through all that grief. You haven't touched you drink." Damon nodded towards her glass of full liquid.
"You know, I'm not much of a drink. I should get going." Jules stood up from her bar stool grabbing her bag.
"Oh, come one. Look, one drink." He grinned at her.
She sat back down on the stool "It'll help me sleep."
"To sleep." Damon rose his glass, she rose her glass too about to take a sip when she sniffed it, the smell burnt her nostrils, slamming her glass down on the side she glanced across at him.
"You fool." She growled "You think you're clever, don't you?"
"What do you want with Mason Lockwood?" Damon's voice changed from friendly to deadly serious.
"He's my friend." Jules replied.
"Well, I'm sorry to inform you that you probably won't find him." His bright blue eyes narrowed.
"And why not?" Jules cocked an eye brow.
"You should leave town." Damon told her firmly.
"You're threatening me? On a full moon. How stupid are you?" The wolf scoffed when Alaric walked back over to the two.
"Damon, how about that second round?" He smiled.
"I think we're done, Ric." Damon told him before looking down at the female werewolf "You think I'm afraid of you?"
"No, I don't. That's your vampire arrogance. You should be." She growled menacingly "I sniffed you out the moment you entered this bar along with your pathetic wolfsbane." She looked at Alaric "I've been at this a long time and any other night of the month, the situation would be reversed but tonight is not he night to pick a fight with me. You've been marked." She hissed at Damon before getting up and leaving.
Tyler was still on the floor rolling around in pain, Caroline was sitting next to him just watching him, there was nothing she could do to help the pain.
"I want to help but I don't know what to do." Caroline told him close to tears.
"There's nothing you can do." He breathed digging his nails into the floor as he bones began to snap again, this time the silver eyed vampire was sobbing "Get out!" He warned.
"No!" Caroline replied stubbornly.
"Get out! I don't want to hurt you." He told her protectively.
"No! No." She shook her head shimming closer to him to wrap her arms around his back embracing him tightly.
Walking out of the Grill Damon was breathing heavy and so furious, Alaric followed him as they stepped outside into the cold air they crossed the road towards their cars.
"Where is she?" Damon demanded.
"Just let it go, Damon. Don't be stupid." Alaric hissed.
"So what? Just let her get away? 'you've been marked' what the hell kind of wolf thrown down crap is that anyway?" He growled.
"Damon, look up! Just look up." Both of the men look up to see the moon at it's fullest shining brightly "If this werewolf stuff if true, one bite and you're dead. One bite! Alright? Don't risk it. It's not just yourself you're risking now, if she knows that you're with Grace she'll go after her-"
"She wouldn't dare." Damon spat "She'd be dead before that bitch even got near her."
"Don't risk it and Grace doesn't have to be in danger." Alaric told him "Go home, lock your doors and call Grace, tell her to stay put. We'll sort things out in the morning."
"Yeah." Damon's eyes flared with anger as he turned and left.
Back at the Lockwood cellar Tyler's eyes were closed as he lay face down on the floor, Caroline was still holding him comfortingly, tears confirmed to trickle down her face.
"It's ok." She whispered "You'll fight through it, ok?"
"Leave!" Tyler spat.
"No." Caroline shook her head.
"Just go, please!" Tyler begged.
"No, not yet." She told him firmly.
"Just go!" Tyler hissed.
"I'm right here and I'm not going anywhere." Caroline confirmed.
Suddenly he let out a blood curling scream as his bones began to snap again this was to get his bone structure ready for his transformation, his eyes were glowing their deep amber, gold colour and fangs were extended both on his top jaw and bottom. The blonde quickly jumped up and ran behind the gate locking him in, he looked around and saw her hiding, rushing towards her the chains broke and groaned under Tyler's new found strength.
She apologises through her tears and scurries through the open door leading to the outside world, slamming the heavy wooden door shut she leant against her hearing Tyler's screams from within. After a while the noise died down and there was nothing to be heard, the transformation was complete and Tyler was a beautiful pure black werewolf with glowing golden eyes.
Just as Caroline thought it was safe Tyler began hurdling himself against the door in an attempt to break free. His snout made it through the wood and began to snap at her, blocking the door with some more wood she made a run for it into the forest tears pouring from her eyes.
"Hey Gracie, I know you're probably really mad at me, but I'm sorry ok, I love you. Know what I did to you was the safest thing I could think of, I did it for you. I'll see you in the morning, just stay where you are for now, ok? It's too dangerous to be out there on a full moon. Bye." Damon hung up talking to her voicemail as the older vampire walked into his house locking the door behind him, he walks into the library and Rose was sitting there in a pretty black cocktail dress.
"You just can't stay away, can you?" Damon glared at her.
"You don't answer your phone." She shrugged.
"What do you want?" Damon asked.
Rose sighed "I want to apologise."
"Just admit it, you don't have anywhere else to go." Damon narrowed his bright blue orbs fed up with her.
"I'm sorry about Grace. I wasn't thinking straight. And Elena. I didn't know that she had a death wish, but I called you, I tried to make it right, ok? I'm sorry, Damon. And I have nowhere else to go." She begged him.
"There's nothing here for you, Rose." Damon told her scowling.
"Well, then-" She was about to leave when a noise echoed from behind them, zipping through the halls of the house they both ended up in the living room, the window was shattered, someone was in the house, Damon grabbed a sword down from a art piece and holds it in his hand.
Rose saw the wolf lunge for Damon before he did and she shoved him out of the way, the white wolf pinned her to the round snapping it's deadly jaws wildly at her, it got close enough and took a chunk of flash from her shoulder. Damon shoved the sword into the wolf's side and it fled the room at wolf speed.
"How bad is it?" Damon asked in debt to her now she had saved his life.
"It hurts." She whispered before the wound began to heal quickly.
"It's healing." Damon noted.
"Oh my God, I thought a werewolf bite was fatal and I thought-" She couldn't finish her sentence and began to sob, he embraced her lightly.
"You're going to be ok." He whispered.
At Jonas and Luka's apartment Luka walks in and Jonas was already sitting at his desk waiting for his son to arrive back home.
"You were successful?" Jonas questioned.
"Of course I was." Luka scoffed smugly "She fell for the whole show and didn't suspect a thing." He pulled the real moonstone from his pocket placing it on Jonas' desk.
"Thank you, Luka." Jonas took it.
"Yeah, whatever. I'm going to sleep." Luka shrugged.
"Wait." Jonas stopped him "There's one more thing Elijah needs us to do before we lose the full moon."
In the tomb with Katherine, Fayth and Stefan they all sat their in silence, facing each other. Katherine let out a large sigh as she looked between the two.
"Are we seriously not going to talk at all?" She asked.
"We could talk about how you regret all you've done to make mine and Damon's life miserable." Stefan told them both.
"What do you want us to say, Stefan?" Fayth growled at him "Say that I'm sorry for everything that we've done? Well I'm not, ok?" She narrowed her eyes "It's called self preservation. We've been looking out for ourselves for 500 years."
"Look where it's has gotten you." He glanced around the dim lighted cave.
"Yes, I've done terrible things. We both have. I, however, do not regret it." Fayth hissed as she rose and walked away.
"I know that we have done terrible things, but I love you Stefan." Katherine told him "Even if you don't believe it."
"You want me to believe you? Show me. Do something. Prove to me that there's something inside of you that's actually worth trusting." He dared her.
"And then what? You're still gonna hate me?" Katherine asked.
"Maybe and maybe I'll see that there's still hope for you after all." Stefan suggested.
"You're playing me." Katherine hissed.
"Am I?" Stefan teased.
"You want to find Klaus? Kill him so that you can protect your precious Elena and Grace?" She scoffed.
"Let me guess: you know where he is." Stefan assumed.
"No, I don't, but I could help you find him." Katherine nodded.
"For a price I'm sure." Stefan narrowed his eyes.
"Start with Isobel, Elena's mother. She was a research expert. She found me." The older vampire shrugged "You're welcome."
The door began to open, Katherine, Stefan and Fayth all rushed to the door surprised to see Elijah standing there with a smug smile planted on his lips.
"Elijah." Katherine breathed, both twins took a step back.
"Good evening Katerina. Fay." He nodded at them "Thank you for having the good sense to be frightened." He smirked before looking at the younger Salvatore Brother "Your release has been requested."
"What? By who?" Stefan asked.
"The lovely Elena and Grace drive a hard bargain. However we reached a peaceful agreement, the ladies and I. Please." He stepped to the side allowing Stefan out "Come."
"I can't." Stefan shook his head.
"Yes you can, I've had the spell lifted." Elijah informed him and slowly Stefan walked through the door gaining his freedom, Katherine and Fayth both rush for the door but Elijah blocks it beginning to compel the both of them "as for you both however, you should not exit until I say so. When Klaus comes he'll want to know exactly where you are." he finished him compulsion before looking at Stefan "You're free to go. Elena will explain the arrangement to you. If she keeps her word, I'll keep mine." With that Elijah was gone with a gust of wind.
"Stefan, no." Katherine called "Please don't let him leave me in here."
"Goodbye ladies." Stefan purred before leaving the tomb.
Deep in the woods Caroline was alone, it had been hours since she had gone to check on Tyler, approaching the old Lockwood property there were no more sounds to be heard from the inside. Stepping lightly inside to see Tyler's tanned body on the floor, he was human again. Rushing towards him she covered him with his jacket.
"Tyler?" The blonde asked.
"Caroline." He muttered weakly.
"Tyler." She whispered thankfully "You're ok. You made it. You didn't get out. You're ok." She assured him, but the new werewolf began to cry
"No, I'm not." Tyler cried into her embrace.
Elena was up in her bedroom looking out over her yard when she saw a pair of hazel brown eyes looking at her, turning she saw Stefan standing there smiling at her.
"Elena? Hey." He embraced her tightly never wanting to let her go.
"Hey." She whispered before kissing him passionately, he moves her back onto the bed and just stares down into her chocolate brown eyes for a moment.
Grace zips into the Salvatore Boarding House to see Damon sitting on his own on the coffee table in front of the fire, he looks over his shoulder to see her standing there.
"How-" He got up.
"Bonnie let me out." Grace explained "Are you ok?"
"Rose, she took a bite for me. A werewolf bite." He explained holding his glass of scotch.
"Rose? She was here?" Grace narrowed her deep chocolate brown orbs taking the glass sipping it before handing it back to him.
"She came to apologise." The older vampire told her.
"So she's dead?" Grace assumed.
"No. She lived, werewolf bites don't kill us." He smiled gently leaning down and kissing her softly.
"Who... Who was it? Was it Tyler?" Grace asked anxiously.
"No. Caroline told me that he was all locked up. It was Jules." He explained.
"Jules?" Grace looked at him confused.
"She's a friend of Mason Lockwood's, she came into town today from Florida. She has a small grudge, she went for me-" Damon explained and Grace gasped her jaw dropping "I'm ok, like I said, Rose took the bite."
"I'm glad you're ok." Grace stood on her tip toes pressing her lips to his.
Quickly he dropped his scotch to the floor and gathered her up in his arms, moving through the house at supernatural speed stopping every-so-often at walls to kiss her deeply, as they arrived in his room he lay her down on the bed pulling back for a breath.
"How was your day with Elena?" Damon asked pressing small kisses to her neck, nibbling the skin gently, she arched her back.
"I'll tell you tomorrow." She moaned flipping him over so she was on top.
"Damon?" Rose stood in the doorway "Grace?"
"What's wrong?" Damon asked as Grace pulled away.
"I wanted to apologise to Grace." She stated her eyes filled with sorrow.
Grace moved away from Damon as Rose stepped towards her "I'm really sorry for leaving you there with Elijah, I was scared." She explained and the younger vampire nodded "I want to help."
"Help with what?" Grace asked.
"With protecting Elena." She replied "I owe you that much."
"Thank you, Rose." Grace smiled at her gratefully.
Suddenly Rose called out in pain her hand immediately rising to her shoulder. Grace peeled her hand away from her shoulder to see that he skin was bubbling and gone a dark grey colour, it looked toxic and infected.
"What is that?" Grace asked.
"A werewolf bite." Rose whispered her eyes welling up with tears.
