Previously on Unspoken Connection...

A smile appeared upon her lightly tanned face 'Hi is Mason around?' she asked getting straight to the point

'Sorry you missed him this morning. He just left for the weekend. Won't be back till Monday' said Tyler looking at her feeling the curiosity overwhelm him of her and jittery to get out and get through today…well get through tonight more likely

'Oh' she said surprised and stated with a shrug of her shoulders 'Well I guess I'll have to see him then'

Turning away Tyler stopped her 'Did you want me to give him a message?' he asked

The green eyed female nodded and said with smile 'Yeah tell him Jules is looking for him'

Once Damon knew he was alone with Bonnie he looked down to Bonnie who had poured the amount of ashes needed onto the table but before she could sweep it into the pouch he placed a hand on top to stop her movement causing her to look up to him. She simply raised an eyebrow in question of his action in which he answered 'Are you sure you can handle this?'

Tilting her head to the side, touched from Damon's concern she said 'Yes I'll be okay'

'I don't want you dying on me. All those hard work of protecting the Bennett lineage and the fact that your mother would stake me for letting something happen to you'

Bonnie chuckled moving her hand out of his grasp and went back to sweeping the ashes carefully into the pouch 'To actually think Damon Salvatore cared about me for a second, then he says that' she said jokingly but it caused Damon to frown

'I do care witch' he said

Pulling the strings to close the pouch she turned to face Damon, looking up to the tall vampire she said low enough for him to hear 'I know you do'

Her green eyes fluttered tiredly 'Did we get…' she asked in a slurred tone but Damon knew what she was asking answering her

'No' said Damon causing Bonnie let her eyes cast down from the letdown feeling only to look back up to Damon asking

'Jere?'

'Right here' voiced out Jeremy causing Bonnie to turn and smile at the sight to see Jeremy okay minus the beaten up look he was rocking there and the fact his neck had dry blood no doubt that Katherine may have snacked on him earlier.

Bonnie smiled a tired smile in which Damon caught sight of it and brushed away a strand of her slightly sweated curls. Bonnie turned her head to face him as he said softly to her 'Sleep little witch'

Sitting up with some struggle and help from Damon she said 'I need to get to Tyler'

Tyler was chained up and ready still feeling the aftermath of the pain from drinking the wolfsbane. He looked to Caroline who was behind the bar of a small cell in the Lockwood underground. The metal bars definitely strong enough to keep him away from attacking her… so he hoped. He looked up to the sky getting close to becoming pitch black. He felt the agitation, the monster within him becoming impatience of the wait and yet all he could feel was a small slight of disappointment of not seeing her here; but that all changed when both he and Caroline head the door open and close followed by the sound of being bolted shut.

Footsteps rushed towards them and he smiled feeling a little braver seeing his best friend 'You came'

Bonnie smiled walking towards him, the fatigue feeling long forgotten as her mind shifted to focus on Tyler. She hugged the half naked, chained up Tyler Lockwood whispering into his ear 'Where else would I be?'

Chapter 9 (Part one)- Only One

When will we see the end?

Of the days, we bleed, for

what we need.

To forgive, forget, move on

Cause we've got…

One life to live

One love to give

One chance to keep from falling

One heart to break

One soul to take us

Not forsake us

Only one…

Only one…

Bonnie sighed leaning against the door frame of her best friend's room staring at the sleeping figure.

"Your staring is starting to freak me out?" he mumbled

"So he wasn't asleep" she thought

Bonnie chuckled walking into his room and sat on his bed. Tyler Lockwood sat up and rubbed his eyes tiredly sitting up to look at his best friend.

"You can stop giving me that concern look. It has been a week since the full moon and you're still giving me those concern look" he said

"What concern look?" she asked dumbly.

"The one that was burning through my skull just a few seconds ago from the doorway" he replied back with a smug smirk

Bonnie rolled her eyes "You've got to give me some time Ty. I did see you go through a painful transformation and I can't help but keep worrying about you, okay?"

"I am okay" he said in assurance. Bonnie just looked at him in disbelief of his words causing the Lockwood teen to roll his eyes at her protectiveness of him

"Okay, I'm still shaken, but what do want me to do B? I'm a werewolf now. Every full moon I'm going to go through that and dammit I think your mom made bacon and eggs for breakfast" he said in agitation.

Since becoming a werewolf, all of his senses were heightened, and right at this moment his sense of smell was being infiltrated by the preparation of breakfast. Tyler pulled back the covers and tried to get out of the bed without causing Bonnie to fall off. She stood up allowing him to get out of bed only to be stopped as he placed his hands on her shoulders

"You know I love you Bonnie, but this is my life now and we are going have to get used to it. Every. Part. Of. It"

Bonnie nodded as Tyler placed a chaste kiss upon her forehead "Now lets' get some breakfast" he said happily before waltzing out of the room with Bonnie following behind him downstairs to the kitchen.

After breakfast, Amelia's eyes wandered to her quiet daughter who was placing the dishes in the dishwasher.

Handing Bonnie the last plate "You want to talk about it?" the older woman asked

Placing the plate, Bonnie closed the dishwasher and directed her attention to her mother "Just taking in everything that has happened"

Leaning against the sink, Amelia crossed her arms over her chest asking immediately "Is this about Tyler's transformation?"

Bonnie nodded "Yeah and also about the deal with Elijah. Have you come up with a decision about your powers?"

"You know what my answer will be?"

Bonnie sighed tiredly "I know. Its just-" she paused unsure of her unspoken question, but decided to continue voicing her opinion

"-can we really trust the Martins or even Elijah?"

"Well your father knew Jonas and besides we won't know until we try" said Amelia causing Bonnie to shake her head in disbelief

"Mom, that's so like you to blindly trust everybody"

Amelia stepped towards Bonnie placing her hands on both side of her daughter's face "Because I want my powers back. To be able to protect you or even to fight by your side. To remind you, that you're not alone"

"He could betray us and you could get hurt"

"Or... he might not betray us and I'll have my powers back" she replied back to her daughter. The doorbell rang through the house cutting the tension between mother and daughter as Mason's booming voice yelled out

"I'll get the door!"

Bonnie sighed and looked back to see the determination in her mother's brown eyes "I can't stop you from this decision can I?" she asked

Amelia smiled at her daughter and placed a chaste kiss on her forehead. Brushing a strand of Bonnie's hair behind her ear she said "No. But your opinion matters to me".

With her decision set in her mind Bonnie said "I will do the spell…"

"Bonnie-" started Amelia but Bonnie continued

"With their help" she finished.

Amelia sighed in defeat. Not even to attempting to argue back because she knew Bonnie would have to be involved in the spell. Spells and their lineage connections gibberish.

Dropping her hands to the side, Amelia ran her hand through her straight hair in defeat quoting Bonnie from earlier "I can't stop you from this decision, can I?"

Bonnie smiled a little nodding "No, but your opinion still matters to me" she replied back to her mom.

Mason stared at the visitor in annoyance "It's really none of your business Jules" he said

Jules chuckled stepping closer to Mason pointing out to him "That's where you're wrong. You joined our pack. Your business became our business"

"Then I left the pack" Mason replied with a smirk on his face

"Yeah you did. When your brother who you barely spoke to died" commented Jules

She took a step back and crossed her arms over her chest stating "I will admit that was an impressive cover up story" she said with an impressed smile

"That wasn't a cover up story" growled out Mason

Jules eyes flashed a golden ring around her irises as she sped to stand in front of him "You don't think I've done my homework Mason. You don't think I know about that pathetic vampire ex-girlfriend of yours and the moonstone"

Mason stared back at Jules in silent as she continued "We took you into our pack; so you at least owe us by telling us where the moonstone is"

"You're going have to kill me before I ever tell you" said Mason not at least afraid of Jules

She glared at him in disgust leaning towards his ear she whispered harshly "Fine be that vampire's bitch. I'm going to find out where that moonstone is, and soon we'll be free to change when we want" she paused chuckling softly

"Don't worry; I'll make sure you have the first taste of the freedom only then to take it away from you" she whispered

Leaning back, Jules refrained herself from frowning in confusion at the sight of the smirking Mason Lockwood as he bent his head down a little to whisper in her ear "Good luck finding that moonstone; it got Katherine in a real mess finding it"

Pulling back he said sternly to her "Just go home Jules" and walked back into the house.

Amelia and Bonnie walked towards Mason just before the door close they both caught sight of Jules walking away

"Who's the beach babe?" asked Amelia looking to Mason

Mason closed the door explaining "That's Jules"

"Ohhh Jules! Wait no I don't know any Jules" Amelia said sarcastically causing Bonnie to roll her eyes at her mother's not so subtle jealousy

Mason chucked placing his hands against Amelia's hips stating to her "She's just a friend"

Amelia raised and eyebrow while wrapping her arms around his neck she said "Well given your reputation in the past, Mr Mason Lockwood; your idea of being friends with a girl meant-" before she could finish Mason cut her off

"No I didn't sleep with her. Never have… never will and never planned to. Besides I got my own match once we-"

"Okay! That's enough for my ears" exclaimed Bonnie causing the two adults to chuckle as Bonnie got the two adults conversation back on track asking Mason

"So is she a werewolf as well?"

Mason nodded explaining "Yeah, she and her pack kind of helped me out when I first became a wolf"

Amelia tilted her head to the side in thought "So she decided to come to Mystic falls to say hi to you?" she asked

Mason shrugged his shoulders. Unwrapping her arm around his neck, Amelia raised an eyebrow at him warning him "Don't even think of faking dumb with me Lockwood"

Mason let a out a low chuckle and spoke truthfully to Amelia and Bonnie "The moonstone. She and the pack know about it and the curse"

Before Bonnie and Amelia could say anything Mason assured them immediately "Don't worry she doesn't know where it is"

"Yeah in the hands of Katherine" said Bonnie in annoyance then said

"I should warn Damon about Jules"

Mason looked to Bonnie shaking his head "No. Don't Bonnie. You know how he is when new people arrive. Remember him torturing me not so long ago?"

"Yeah and I remember you were working with Katherine that time" retorted Bonnie back to Mason

"Are you seriously defending Damon's actions?" asked Mason in surprise

Bonnie shook her head "No, but I understand his reasons. I just think everyone should be aware of this Jules, because we can't have anymore surprises"

"Then let me handle, Jules" said Mason

Amelia looked to her daughter who was gritting her teeth; doubt clearly on her face but her words surprised them both "Okay, but knowing how small this town is; Jules is going to be noticeable. So if Damon or anyone ask me about her I will tell him and what she is after"

"Deal" said Mason with a nod of his head

"Okay" mumbled Bonnie still unsure

Amelia let out an exasperated sigh "Not that anyone seem to care what I think... but I think Damon or even Stefan should know"

"Am!" said Mason in surprise of her suggestion

The woman simply shrugged her shoulders looking at Mason "You aren't exactly on his or Stefan's favourite people list and if they find out that you knew about Jules that would make them not trust you even more"

Bonnie didn't even bother hiding her smirk at her mother's explanation as Mason shook his head "I'm not telling them. They would just kill her…more like Damon would just kill her"

"Fine then" Amelia said then looked to her daughter "Bonnie will tell them"

"Amelia you're going to stir trouble" stated Mason but Amelia shook her head furthermore explaining her point

"No Mason. You're going to stir trouble if you keep your mouth shut"

"Fine then I will tell either Salvatore brothers before I see Jules" he muttered and stomped off without another word to his room

Bonnie looked to her mom and said "Thanks mom for that. How long is he going to sulk?"

"No problems hun, but I do think that Damon and Stefan should know. Who knows; Jules may become an ally; and don't worry about Mason he'll get over it. Beside momma has ways for the sulking Lockwood to not be sulking anymore" said Amelia with a sly smirk and bit her bottom lip in thought causing Bonnie to close her eyes and state in disgust

"OH god mom too much information!'"Amelia couldn't hold back her laugh watching her daughter place her hands on against her ears and walk away from her upstairs towards her bedroom.

Bonnie couldn't help but chuckle from her mom's playful manner, noting that it has been a long time since seeing her this happy. She opened the door to her room not at all surprised to find Tyler laying on her bed looking quite bored

"What's on your agenda on this school-free day? Witch stuff or meeting up with Damon to discuss new wolf in town?" he asked with a hint of sarcasm in the latter suggestion

Bonnie chuckled not bothering to scold him on eavesdropping and explained to him "The new wolf is apparently a friend of your uncle's. Or maybe not so much now, since she too is looking for the moonstone"

Tyler groaned in annoyance of once again hearing about the moonstone. From the corner of his eyes he saw Bonnie walk to her dresser table and pick up dog tags necklace

"I have to return these" she said.

Tyler sat up looking at the foreign object asking "Whose necklace?"

"Luka's" she replied

Tyler squinted his eyes trying to remember where he had heard the name

"The new guy? The one working with the big bad Original vampire" he said remembering from one of Bonnie's explanation of this moonstone situation and all who is involved. Bonnie nodded then proceeded to explain

"On the night of the transformation, I had borrowed some of Luka's power to help get Jeremy out of the tomb. Having an object of another witch or in this case a warlock's allowed me to have a little access to his powers".

Frowning a little to her explanation he asked "Isn't that some type of stealing?"

Biting her bottom lip guiltily, Bonnie could deny and say that Luka would have allowed her to use his powers even if she had asked him, but still what she did was wrong and she knew that. Never would she have wanted somebody to do that to her, ever.

"Bonnie, did you really use some of his powers?" Tyler asked in a soft tone trying not to show his disbelief of his best friend's action.

Bonnie sat on the bed and nodded silently wincing a little from hearing Tyler sigh disappointedly before Tyler could say anything Bonnie beat him to it

"I know it was wrong. But I was desperate and Jeremy was stuck in the tomb with Katherine and that was the first thing that came to mind to save him"

Tyler nodded "I get it Bon. I would have done the same. Its just going to take awhile for me to accept that you would make the same types of choices I would make".

Bonnie smirked a little stating "You shouldn't really be surprised though"

Smirking back at her he nodded "True, we are just too protective of the people we care about"

The two sat in comfortable silence until Tyler looked at Bonnie. Knowing her for so long he could see she was nervous so he asked her "You want some company?"

"Please" she replied back in relief that she wouldn't be doing this alone.

Damon sat down at Mystic Grille motioning to the bartender for his usual drink. Stefan was with Elena doing god knows what. Ever since Elena's escapade with Rose and the showing of Elijah caused the two to reunite. Rose was on a trip checking out a tip about the Martin family to help with Damon's research on the spell that will unbind Amelia's powers and if there is any danger to both Amelia and Bonnie. He found it too easy and too suspicious how willing Elijah and the Martin family wanted to help Bonnie and her mom.

"Where's your partner in crime?" Damon smirked at the sound of Alaric's voice. Turning his head a little to the side to see the history teacher taking a seat besides him and too motion to the bartender telling him with motion towards Damon's drink

"I will have what he is having, thanks"

"My partner in crime is right here" said Damon to Alaric before taking a sip of his drink.

Alaric chucked a little shaking his head "I mean your other younger and must more prettier magical partner in crime. The one you've been attached at hips these past few days."

Damon rolled his eyes to Alaric's explanation about Bonnie mentally thinking "I haven't been attached to her hips!"

"She texted me telling me she had something to do and I wasn't allowed to join as she had chosen to go with wolf jr"

Seeing Damon finish his explanation with a sour look on his face forced Alaric to cover his laugh by sipping on his drink.

Damon frowned in thoughts then said out loud "She must be going somewhere I wouldn't approve of her going to. Maybe I should find out where she is going"

Alaric placed his hand on Damon's arm stopping him from leaving "Or maybe she wanted to spend sometime with Tyler" he said.

Damon rolled his eyes and sat back down stating "I don't see how that will do her any good, he is kind of a dick"

"Hope you are referring to yourself and not my nephew"

Damon rolled his eyes at Mason's voice "Please, join us uncle of dick"

Ignoring Damon's sarcastic response, Mason nodded to Alaric and said "Hey"

Sticking his hand out towards the history teacher "Alaric right?"

Alaric nodded sticking out his hand and shook Mason's hand "And you are Mason, Tyler's uncle"

Damon looked down at the joint hands in front of him in annoyance "Great you two now know names. What the hell do you want wolf?"

Mason and Alaric separated hands as Mason smirked amused at Damon's attitude "You really don't like me"

"What gave it away?" said Damon dryly before sipping his drink.

Alaric chuckled helping out Mason "Since you were working with Katherine, it makes us weary and also the fact that Bonnie chose Tyler to help with her secret mission has him on edge"

Damon groaned stating loudly "I am not on edge because of that!"

Mason raised an eyebrow even more amused "Could have fooled me" he said laughing but stopped seeing the veins creeping up upon Damon's face

"Bonnie was going to tell you tonight, but Amelia thought it would be best it come from me" explained Mason. Damon calmed down and looked to Mason now curious of what the wolf had to say.

"One of my friend back home is here in Mystic Falls" Damon squinted his eyes to what Mason was saying

"When you say friend. Do you mean one your four-legged howling kind?" asked Damon causing both Mason and Alaric to roll their eyes to Damon's not so funny way.

"Yes and her name is Jules. She knows about the moonstone"

Before Damon could ask, Alaric butted in "How?"

Mason shrugged "Your guess is as good as mine. I have no idea how she found out" he said

Damon scoffed "And we're suppose to take your word for it? How do we know you are not working alongside with her?"

Mason smirked at the vampire asking "Aren't you basically a lie detector with your heightened hearing?"

Damon's eyes narrowed at Mason's words because so far he had been telling the truth. Deciding to play along with the conversation, Damon said "Okay so lets just say hypothetically, I believe you. Where is she, so I can put her down"

Both Alaric and Mason rolled their eyes while Damon smirked in amusement of his wolf puns.

"You can't kill her Damon" said Mason

"She is a werewolf, looking for the moonstone and I don't like new people. Those reasons are more than sufficient enough to support me killing her before she causes any trouble" said Damon looking to Mason with eyebrows raised and a shrug of his shoulders wondering what other reasons are there to not kill this new wolf

"She hasn't hurt anyone" pointed out Mason

"Yet" remarked Damon

"Let me talk to her and find out how much she knows about the moonstone" said Mason trying to get Damon to see reason to not jump to the conclusion of killing someone with a drop of a hat.

"He is right Damon. She hasn't harmed anyone yet and maybe she can help us out with this moonstone situation once Mason talks to her" reasoned Alaric. Damon turned his head to Alaric with an incredulous look asking the hunter

"Seriously?"

Alaric looked to Damon with a raised eyebrow "Do you know why you have a lot of enemies?"

Damon rolled his eyes at Alaric's question remarking sarcastically to him before sculling the rest of his drink "Please enlighten me"

"You act on impulse and kill people who you see as a threat before getting to know them. Like me for example-"

"And me" inputed Mason

Damon chuckled looking to Alaric "If I remember correctly, I had more than enough reason to kill you Mr. Vampire Hunter and-" he paused and turned his attention to Mason

" -Katherine's ex dog. So excuse me for killing you two to extend my grand life. But I can't really say I did a good job if you two are sitting here now nagging at me"

Mason rolled his eyes getting the conversation back on track "Just don't kill her Damon. I will talk to her"

Damon rolled his eyes again "When are people going to start realizing that I never take well with orders" he mentally thought

"You do listen to others. It shows through your actions" his conscious [who surprisingly sounded like Bonnie] argued back to him.

"Do whatever werewolf, but if she approaches me or anyone I know, I won't think twice about killing her and her pack"

Mason looked at Damon in surprise that he knew about Jules' pack. Damon groaned annoyed of having to explain himself

"Come on! Give me some credit! I have been around for a long time, and I did pick up on a few things about werewolves. Like the fact that they travel in packs. Unless your pack have been killed or you're a Lockwood. Deducting from those facts and the extra information that she knows about the moonstone...it really doesn't take a genius to realize that she travelled with a pack after the moonstone in hope to break the curse"

With no response from both Mason and Alaric. Damon with a flick of his hand towards Mason "Now beat it. You're stinking up the place"

Alaric rolled his eyes at Damon's words looking apologetically at Mason

"It was nice meeting you Alaric" said Mason with a nod to Alaric who nodded back in response. Mason looked to Damon still unsure if he could trust the elder Salvatore's word that he would not kill Jules and her pack.

"Damon" said Mason and left the Grille.

Mason walked out unsure whether to laugh at Damon's attitude or be annoyed by it.

"How can Am and Bonnie work with him?"

"We were just about to ask you the same question, Lockwood" Mason froze upon hearing his voice.

Mason turned around to see Jules and her boyfriend, Brady. Mason chuckled a little not at all surprised that Brady was here with Jules

"Was wondering when you would show up?" asked Mason

Brady smirked at his old friend answering him "Since you didn't answer any of Jules' questions; I figured I should step in and ask those questions myself" he finished with a smirk

Mason knew what Brady meant when he said he would ask the questions. Mason noted that a couple of people sitting outside the Grille were trying not to be caught eavesdropping on this conversation especially Jeremy Gilbert who was taking his time with cleaning the table not far from them.

"Your ways of persuasion isn't necessary Brady. Lets talk someplace else" he said leading the two wolves to the back of the Grille knowing he couldn't bring them home with Amelia at home.

Then again he did promise he and Bonnier, he would deal with them.

Jeremy watched Mason and the two strangers follow Mason to the back alley of the Grille. Having a bad feeling in his gut; he decided to go inside and inform Damon and Alaric about the situation. Even if Damon didn't want to help, at least he could count on Alaric helping Tyler's uncle which in turn would make Damon want to help if Alaric gets involved.

Meanwhile...

Bonnie took a deep breathe in and out. Her nerves getting the best of her as she stared at Martin's apartment door.

"Anytime today Bonnie" teased Tyler.

Bonnie turned her head, her hair whipping Tyler in the face. Tyler moved his face back from the sudden contact of Bonnie's hair hitting his face about to reply with a sarcastic remark but paused seeing the glare upon her face.

Impressed that Tyler was not going to say anything she turned her attention back to the door. Raising her right hand she knocked on the door and awaited for the door to open. What was only mere seconds felt like extending minutes and the nerves were hitting her. The door swung open before Bonnie could turn her head to Tyler and tell him for them to leave. Luka stood there looking at Bonnie not at all impressed. Seeing that look, made Bonnie unsure of what to say so she pulled out the dog tags from her jean pocket and held them up to Luka as an olive branch and began to apologize

"I am really sorry Luka. There was a life in danger and I panicked-"

"I forgive you" said Luka cutting Bonnie off mid sentence. He grabbed the dog tags from Bonnie's hands and motioned for Tyler and Bonnie to come inside.

Once inside, both Tyler and Bonnie were impressed with how spacious it was inside. They both followed Luka into what looked like a mini library.

Tyler looked around a little unimpressed and not at all fazed by the books not only overfilling up the shelves but all over the floor and study desk. Meanwhile Bonnie was staring at all the books in amazement; immediately feeling the strong, simmering powers in all these books. Tyler who was following closely behind Bonnie, stopped causing him to look down at his best friend weirdly as she bent down immediately flipping through a really old dusty looking book.

Strangely all these type of books looked familiar.

"Is this a grimoire?" Bonnie asked in curiosity looking to Luka

"Bonnie's grimoire! That's what these books look like!" thought Tyler

Luka nodded and motioned with his hands of all the books stating "They are all grimoires" causing both Bonnie and Tyler's eyes to widen in shock of the amount of grimoires in the room.

Bonnie stood up and walked towards Luka who was standing behind the mahogany study desk holding a grimoire in his hand. Tyler took a seat watching as Luka handed the grimoire in his hands to Bonnie. Bonnie looked down looking in amazement of the fraying pages of a witches' grimoire.

"How did you get all these?" asked Bonnie as she placed the grimoire back on the desk

"Well witches from all over the world have collected their spells and grimoires. But over the centuries most of them have gotten lost, and my dad is obsessed in finding them and making sure the family heritage stays in tack"

Tyler raised an eyebrow at the last sentence speaking up for the first time "Wait. So all of these books are your families' grimoires?"

"That's impossible" replied the astonished Bonnie

Luka smiled at Bonnie and explained "The way my dad sees it; is that all witches are family-"

Tyler wanted to roll his eyes at the cliche words this boy was spouting but he could see that his best friend was being drawn by the warlock's words as he continued to say

"-and that we are all bonded together by a code of loyalty to help each other" Tyler raised an eyebrow not liking the way Luka was looking at Bonnie.

"Ah. So that's why you have been so nice to me and wanting to help my mom out"

Tyler this time rolled his eyes at Bonnie's statement "Yeah, I don't think helping you out has gotten anything to do with the witch code" he thought sarcastically.

If it was any other guy [besides Damon] flirting with his best friend he'd be all for it and teasing her about it. But this Luka guy, just gave Tyler a bad feeling. He genuinely seemed like a nice boy that would've been almost worthy enough [in his eyes] for Bonnie, but for him and his father to be working for Elijah just spelt trouble.

"That's one reason" said Luka shaking Tyler from his thoughts as he looked up between the now smiling Bonnie and Luka. Shaking his head to this third wheel situation, he stood up causing Luka and Bonnie to look at him in surprise

"Well you have your necklace back, lets go" he said looking to Bonnie motioning with head for them to leave

Bonnie smiled a small smile holding a finger in signal for Tyler to wait and looked to Luka "I also came here to ask of you to let Elijah know that my mom and I agree to the deal"

Tyler looked at Bonnie in shock choking out the word "What?"

Bonnie didn't look at Tyler knowing she would see the hurt and disbelief of not being included in the discussion. Even though it was her mother's choice, she knew Tyler would've at least a chance to voice his opinion [as he always had when growing up].

"I will let him know. Just know that you and your mom has made the right choice" said a pleased Luka

Bonnie heard Tyler's low sarcastic chuckle besides her followed by the sight from the corner of her eye of Tyler walking away. The slamming of the door caused Bonnie to jump a little from the loud sound. She turned around to make sure that Tyler's strength didn't break the front door.

Turing her attention back to Luka who looked at her still a little surprised from Tyler's reaction. Bonnie smiled apologetically remembering that people and even new people of Mystic Falls still found Tyler and Bonnie's close friendship strange

"I'm sorry. I better go. Oh and thank you for passing on the message" she said before waving a small goodbye and leaving the Martin's apartment.

Finally making her way out of the apartment building, she spotted Tyler leaning against his black jeep, arms crossed over his chest and deep in thoughts. Biting her bottom lip, knowing what was to come next as she made her way towards him.

Once in front of him, she opened her mouth to speak but Tyler shook his head in signal for her to be quiet. "I get why mom would want to do this. To get her powers, but-"

"-you don't trust the Martins and Elijah" said Bonnie finishing his sentence. Taking a deep breath in and out she leaned against the jeep besides Tyler and comfortably leaned her head against his arm

Tyler nodded "There's no other way to get her powers?" he asked

"If there was, I would've gone that way" replied Bonnie and furthermore explained

"If my Grams or my cousin Lucy were still alive then we would have done the spell already; but I barely know the spell and they seemed more informative about it"

Tyler nodded understandingly "I know. Just be careful. I just have this nagging feeling about them giving mom's powers back may some how play into the curse."

"Elijah said that he didn't want the curse broken and wanted to take down Klaus" assured Bonnie purposely leaving out the part of Elijah asking her how far she was willing to sacrifice for Elena

Tyler simply nodded knowing this would be end of the conversation. Motioning with his to his his car "Lets just go grab something to eat and have a break from all of this crap"

Bonnie couldn't help but let out a laugh at Tyler's choice of words for the situation.

Meanwhile...The back of Mystic Grille

"So you don't have the moonstone. Those Salvatore brothers don't have it, and your now ex-girlfriend doesn't have it and she has apparently disappeared" clarified Jules

Mason nodded a little bored of this conversation "Yes, the moonstone is gone. So forget about the curse and carry on with your lives"

Brady let out a hearty laugh looking to his girlfriend saying his thoughts out loud "That Katherine must have really taught you how to lie so brilliantly"

Before Mason could speak Brady's sped to him grabbing him by the throat and crashing the man against wall "The problem about the lies you spew at us back in Florida, makes me not trust any of the stories you tell us now"

Mason growled ready to throw Brady off but he had read Mason's move and with an extra ounce of strength still gripping Mason's throat slammed him against the wall, the back of his head hitting the bricked walls causing him to be a little dizzy.

Brady smirked tightening his hold around Mason's throat and threw the man to the other side crashing into the trash cans. Ready to attack again with the help of Jules, they were stopped by a sarcastic male voice

"As much as I like seeing him tortured or getting beaten down it isn't as much enjoyable if I'm not doing the torturing"

Brady let a small chuckle looking to the black haired vampire "Damon Salvatore. Now you were the last person I would think of to be coming to his rescue"

Brady looked to the older looking man next to Damon; trying to remember who he was. He looked to his girlfriend who was beside him clarifying to her "That would be the vampire hunter, Alaric Saltzman, right?"

Jules nodded. Damon's eyes narrowed at the two newcomers immediately not liking that the fact they knew more that were allowed. Damon motioned with his head towards the now standing up Mason getting straight to the point

"He's telling the truth. Moonstone is gone. Let it go".

Brady raised an eyebrow at Damon looking at him in disbelief talking to Damon as if he was a little child "Now if I didn't believe anything Mason said, what are the chances that I would actually believe words out of a leech?"

Jules laughed at the non responsive Damon as she wrapped her arm around Brady's neck staring now at Mason, Damon and Alaric "We came back to Mystic Falls the day after our transformation. We learnt a lot things during that weekend you were gone" Jules paused smiling a little impressed of the poker face on all three men before continuing

"We know the moonstone is still here like your ex-girlfriend, Katherine and then there's her dopplegänger...Elena was it?" questioned Jules.

"Bingo" both Jules and Brady thought seeing a slight reaction from Damon and Alaric.

"We could just threaten to kill Elena for you guys to give us the moonstone or we could kill two birds with one stone" finished Brady looking to Mason causing the Lockwood man to clench his fist and teeth knowing who he was talking about

"You stay away from them!" he yelled out trying to calm his rage.

Brady smiled mischievously "Who? The love of your life? Your nephew? Your widowed sister in law? Or should I just go straight for pretty Bonnie. Now her death will not only effect you but-" Brady was cut off, shutting his eyes as his head was hit hard against the same bricked wall he first threw Mason against. Brady opened his eyes ignoring the slight throb to a vamped out Damon. From the side he could see Jules was being against the wall with Mason's grip tightly around her throat still in anger from their threat.

Before Brady could say anything, he felt Damon ripped through his chest and grip his heart and then rip it out.

"Brady!" Jules chocked out seemed to have cut Mason from his anger haze as his once glowing eyes [that flashed when he moved to attack Jules] now was fading back to his normal brown eyes. He let go of Jules who instantly fell to her knees in shock staring at the now dead Brady by Damon's feet.

Mason looked at Damon in shock as the veins upon his face disappeared and with his bloody hands he dropped Brady's heart onto the ground.

Damon looked to the shell shocked Jules and said menacingly to her "Threaten Bonnie again or anyone else; you'll be just as dead as your boyfriend".

Jules looked up at Damon in anger as the vampire explained to her "Don't even try to attack me. It's not the full moon and it's three against one".

Standing up slowly, her eyes never leaving Damon she swore for the sake of her lover "I will kill you Damon"

"Get in line" smart mouthed Damon as the three men watched the female werewolf speed off

Alaric sighed looking to Brady's body then back at Damon asking him "Was that really necessary?"

"He threatened Bonnie. To avoid any of us getting killed we kill the threat before they kill us. At least I was being generous to letting female wolf go" said Damon with a wave of his bloody hand in the direction Jules had sped off.

Alaric rolled his eyes at Damon and looked to the quiet Mason asking him "You okay? I know he was your friend and all-"

Mason cut Alaric's pity talk "Damon was right to kill Brady. He would have killed anyone connected to me. That's just who he was. Once he makes a threat he lives by it"

Alaric looked at Damon a little shock that Mason was agreeing with Damon's killing. Damon a little surprised shrugged his shoulders. The silence was disrupted by the opening of the side door and Jeremy stumbling a little to see a dead body and a heart next to it.

"Well no guess to who killed him" thought Jeremy looking to the culprit with the bloody hands

"You guys better clean up the mess before someone other than me find this"

Damon rolled his eyes at little Gilbert's orders "Thank you Gilbert jr. I was just going to leave the body like this" he said sarcastically.

Jeremy not bothering to answer Damon just walked back into the Grille as Damon picked up Brady's body easily putting him over his shoulders.

Picking up Brady's heart, Damon held it out to Mason "You want to keep it?"

Mason looked at Damon not at all impressed with Damon's question. Damon shrugged his shoulder stating "Thought you might want something to remember your ex-friend by"

Damon looked to Alaric telling him "Bring your car by the woods. The shovels still in the trunk?"

Alaric nodded as Damon explained "I'll speed this guy to the woods since no one will be able to see me with a body and call me when you get to the woods and then we can bury this guy"

Mason looked to Alaric telling him "I'll come with you"

Alaric nodded to Mason as Damon sped off with Brady's body and heart.

To be continued...

AN: Hey all! Long time no update! I'm so sorry got caught up with uni, then family getting sick and then my other fan fiction ("Instruments of War"). JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU FOR ALL THOSE STILL STICKING WITH THIS STORY AND REVIEWING!

Special thanks to:

Maya8314, ZOEYSEES, TialovesKatG, randomlittleme, NaeNae1495, babyshan211, Marina164509 and David Fishwick

Answering some of the questions:

-I'll stop doing the previously thingy in the beginning…only put it on this chapter because of how long I haven't updated
-There won't be a love triangle between Mason, Amelia and Jules [TVD has turned me off from writing love triangles… I may tease it a little but I will never go all ahead with it]
-Bonnie's black magic will be on the back burner for the next few chapters…doesn't mean it won't make a comeback when it's really required.

Okay that's all! Hoping I'll have next part this weekend or next (depending on how busy I get with these next few weeks)

OH AND I MADE A CAST VID FOR THIS FANFIC TO "ONLY ONE": watch?v=iqqbuJknw_M (you know the drill…add that after / of the youtube url)
