Thank you for the Reviews

Tyler rushed quickly down the stairs and opened the front door to allow Jules to slip right in. He led her to a secluded room so as to not allow his mother to see her.

"I was right wasn't i?" Jules asked not wasting any time as they both sat down on the double couch. "Your little vampire friend and the others killed Mason didn't they?"

Tyler didn't want to respond. It came as a shock to him when Caroline confirmed Jules story of the Salvatore's involvement.

…

Caroline looked terrified at his angry betrayed expression.

"Tyler i can expl_

"Who else was involved?!" He didn't care about her explanations. The fact of the matter was that she had known that Mason had been dead for quite some time and lacked the courage to tell him. "The Potters?!"

"No! Tyler no!, Harry and her sister had nothing to do with this. They didn't want anything to do with our infighting…" Caroline was suddenly cut shot.

"So they did know about what you were planning but chose not say anything? Is that it?!" He demanded.

"Tyler…"

"I trusted you and them Caroline!" He shook his head trying to suppress the werewolf that was threatening to break out and attack before turning around and leaving Caroline not caring about her shouting for him to stop."

…

"They have all been lying to you Tyler!" Jules brought her back to the present. She leaned forward to face him. "A vampire will never be you friend Tyler, it's our nature to be enemies."

Tyler stared as though she was out of her mind. "You do realise how stupid that sounds?"

"It's not safe here anymore for you Tyler." Jules spoke firmly. "We have to leave this town."

Tyler's eyes widened in shock. "I am not going anywhere with you, my life is here. My mom would freak…"

"Your old life is over Tyler now that you have triggered the curse. You need to learn what it means to be alycanthrope. We live by a code of honour, we take care of each other. Please let me help you." Jules pleaded.

"I already have help. I am fine…"

"Tyler, you cannot trust a vampire…" Jules was starting to look annoyed at the defiance in his eyes. He couldn't understand the danger he was in.

"Caroline isn't the only one who is helping me." Tyler said. "I have made friends with non vampires who know about werewolves."

Jules narrowed her eyes at that confession. "Who Tyler? Some random humans?"

"There are not some random humans!" He sighed in frustration. He couldn't tell her that there were witches despite the anger he felt against them. The Potters had willingly aided him without any demands and he got the feeling that telling Jules about them would put them in danger.

"Tyler, humans aren't supposed to know about our kind. It's a closely guarded secret, do you have any idea what would happen should there decide to expose us?!" Jules demanded. She was on the verge of snapping at the sheer way he was trying to hold the information closely to his chest that was vital to her and the others who were already on their way to this town.

"There won't sell me out okay!" Tyler barked.

Jules sighed and adopted a friendly expression. "Alright Tyler, I believe you."

He narrowed his eyes in suspicion at her gaze. Wasn't she after their blood a moment ago?

"I just had to make sure Tyler." Jules spoke softly seeing his expression. "It's not easy being different. I've seen vampires and humans kill werewolves for sport which is why it's important to keep secrets."

After a moment Tyler nodded before rising to his feet and headed towards his mother who was calling him. And once the double doors to the lounge had been closed, Jules quickly picked up the phone which he had forgotten on the table and began to scroll through the names.

There were many it seemed. Was he popular?

Jules sighed in frustration and started to scroll through his massages.

Matt – "Tyler, there is this girl named Jules who is looking for you?"

"No he doesn't know his secret." Jules muttered silently when he read some of the boy's messages. She then moved on to the next person and snorted when she realised that it was Caroline and then jumped on to the next.

Few seconds passed before she finally arrived at another name.

Harry Potter – "Tyler mate, wolf's bane also commonly known as aconite or monkshood does not cure lycanthropy but weakens a werewolf enough to reduce the chances of breaking free from their restraints and hurting someone while they're changed. An overdose could kill you."

Jules narrowed her eyes.

…

Opening up her eyes groggily, Iris felt a sharp pain in her at the centre of her head as she tried to recall what had happened. She remembered getting off of her car intending to retrieve her grocery shopping from her trunk before darkness befell her.

"Hello sunshine"

Looking up slowly to face Damon who had spoken. She realised that she was seated chained to the chair inside the Boarding house. "Why am I tied up in your living room Damon?"

The vampire smirked coldly. "I was hoping to get some answers from you and for your sake, I strongly suggest that you cooperate." She looked questioningly at him.'

"How well do you know Elijah?"

Iris blinked in surprise. She didn't think that original would be so reckless as to divulge her secrets to the Salvatore brothers. "Hasn't he felt the need to collaborate?"

Damon narrowed is eyes. "I am asking you"

He never told them anything she realised. They most likely eavesdropped in on their conversation which she had taken place the previous day and Damon was just fishing for further information. "I didn't know a lot about him except for the obvious and for the record, we just met for the first time yesterday."

"Wait, what do you mean the obvious?" He took a step forward.

"That he is an original, one of the very first of the vampire species to roam this earth who can't be killed." Iris responded squirming slightly to relieve herself some of the pressure from the chains.

Damon was beginning to feel the frustration of being told what he already knew. "What about Klaus and the sun and the moon curse?"

"The same as you Damon that he has been trying to break the curse for centuries. She replied. "He's also an Original."

"How do you know all of this?"

Iris stared as though he was daft. "In case you haven't noticed Salvatore, I come from England which is filled with the supernatural elements. They talk. Now are you going to release me or not?"

"Right, so you can retaliate by killing me."

Iris sighed in annoyance. "How many times do I have to tell you this Damon, I neither want anything to do with you or your brother and I most definitely don't want anything to do with Elijah either."

Damon's phone began to buzz in his jacket pocket and he pulled it out to answer it.

"Elena?"

Something must have been wrong seeing his expression shift from disbelief to fury. "Why am I just finding out about this now?!" He became silent as Elena spoke only to cut her off a second later. "That I would what? Kill him? Well that's exactly what needs to happen. Tyler is a werewolf Elena, he needs to die and I am willing to do it. It's a win-win."

"You can't kill Tyler Damon!" Iris was appalled. This was one of the reasons why she didn't want to associate with vampires. They killed indiscriminately without remorse.

He snorted derisively at her. "You don't even know what this is about…"

"I know that Tyler is innocent, that's reason enough." She retorted glaring at him.

Damon hung up his phone and smirked coldly at her. "A werewolf named Jules has taken Caroline and your brother as hostages because I killed Mason. She somehow managed to manipulate my brother to trade them back for Tyler…"

"But she won't hold in on her promise because she wants revenge." Iris scowled. This wasn't good at all.

Damon turned to leave.

"She isn't working alone Salvatore." Iris said making him stop in his tracks. "Werewolves have a tendency of travelling in packs. Sure, you and your brother might be stronger than them since it isn't the night of the full moon but there have the numbers game and are probably armed. You need my help."

"A moment ago you expressed your distaste of working with vampires." He shook his head as he approached her and started to unchain her. "Perhaps I should take a page from her and use your brother as leverage if that's what it takes to get you to help."

Rising up she gave him a dark glare as she proceeded on to stretch her muscles. "Trust me Damon, you wouldn't like the outcome."

Rolling his eyes at what he considered to be an empty threat he grabbed her before blurring away from the Boarding house.

…

Harry stared unblinkingly through the cage at his wand which Brady the werewolf was using to scratch his back as he sat leisurely across them from him and Caroline.

"What kind of stake is this?" He brought it in into their view. "It's not sharp to impale a vampire, so what other purpose does it serve?"

"It's just a wooden stake that's all." Harry replied.

"Lies. And do you want to know how I know?" Brady leaned forward. "I just heard your heart skip a beat human." He sneered.

Great. He never mastered occlumency and didn't bother to ask her sister to teach him the craft. Even Caroline who had been sobbing from being shot with wooden bullets and gun sprayed with vervain narrowed his at him in suspicion.

"What do you think it does then?" He asked only for Brady to give him a chilling smile.

"I suggest you tell me before I decide to use the wooden bullets on you and trust me when I say this, your little vampire friend here won't be allowed to heal you."

Harry clenched his fist in anger at the threat. If only he could cast spells wandlessly. "Hand it over, and I will show you how it works."

"Like I would trust you." A gun was suddenly pointed straight at his gut making Caroline's veins appear underneath her eyelids in warning. This only earned her a smirk from Brady. "This is your last warning human."

Before Harry could reply the door of trailer opened to reveal Jules. "Be ready, Stefan is bringing the boy."

Lowering the gun, he got up and exited from the room.

"Can't you do anything?" Caroline asked the bespectacled boy.

Seeing the hopeful expression on her face he couldn't help but feel annoyed at himself for not knowing what to do. They were all going to die.

…

Stefan stood holding Tyler closely to him as he stared in surprise at Iris who approached them. So his brother didn't kill her after all.

"Give us Caroline the boy Jules, without the full moon it's not an even fight and you know it. We will take you."

Jules narrowed her eyes at the sheer arrogance that was exuding from the vampire. "I don't think so tough guy." Putting her thumb and index finger in her mouth, she blew a loud whistle and more werewolves appeared a second later flanking her.

"Let's try this again, give us Tyler." Damon couldn't find a quick witted response and instructed Stefan to release him.

"Which one of you killed Mason?" A male werewolf barked angrily.

"Ah that would be me." Damon spoke pointing a finger at himself. None of them were amused at his antics.

"Make sure that one suffers." The male werewolf instructed the pack.

Iris quickly narrowed her gaze at the werewolf that had a small gas tank strapped at his back. The nozzle had been set ablaze and before he could pull the trigger to spray the fire, Iris snapped her finger.

An explosion occurred resulting in his death and five others who stood close besides him.

The Salvatore brothers froze momentarily in shock staring at the girl. It was a genius move on her part.

"No!" Jules screamed in anger levelling the girl with a dark glare as it became clear to her of what she was.

Stefan and Damon dashed off to face other werewolves leaving her defenceless but she quickly raised her palms to remedy that. A wooden projectile hit her invisible shield making her search for the opponent who had fired it. Locating him the werewolf as it loaded the crossbow, she flicked her wrist snapping his neck.

A gun was fired and Damon fell down. Stefan tried to dash off to help him but was stabbed by a wooden stake in the back. Seeing Jules raise her weapon towards her, iris quickly moved out of the way and was missed by a few shots as she hid behind a thick tree.

"Ah bloody hell!" Her wand dropped from her hoister. If her secret was gonna be discovered so be it. She apparated away from her position only to reappear at the side of the trailer giving her a view of the werewolf leader about to stake Damon with Harry's wand. Jules had quickly dashed off to the tree were she had been previously hiding.

Wasting no time she pointed her wand at the leader and stunned him.

A second later she suddenly felt powerful magic in the air which forced the remaining werewolves to clutch their heads as they screamed in agony before dropping to the ground.

"Elijah made a deal with Elena, I'm here to see it upheld. You need to leave now."

Iris moved out of her hiding place and faced the man who had made that bold declaration. The warlock in question stared at the girl curiously before his gaze slowly dropped to face the wooden stick in her hand.

His eyes narrowed slightly when she placed it in her jacket pocket.

"You should leave." He turned around and walked away.

Iris walked over to the werewolf that had been holding her brother's wand and picked it up from the ground. The door of the trailer was pushed open by Tyler. He got off followed by Caroline and Harry.

"Are you okay guys?" She dashed off to her brother and pulled her into a hug and then did the same thing to Caroline.

Damon and Stefan who were slowly getting up to their feet only watched in surprise at the girl's friendly gesture towards Caroline. How was it possible that she managed to befriend her?

"Tyler?"

"I'm so sorry Iris." The teenage wolf said looking very remorseful.

"Guys we need to go." Stefan said looking worriedly at the werewolves that were sleeping. It wouldn't be long before they got up again.
