*AGE CHANGE FROM 12 to 14; Birthday no longer on Founder's Day*
Emma sat on the comfy single seat in the Salvatore living room with Stefan and Elena sitting in the love seat across from her. The young girl was drinking hot chocolate that she made at the house. She was a bit surprised to have found the substance in the kitchen considering all Stefan and Damon ever ate these days were. . . blood. Though, that didn't stop her from making it anyways. The door bell rang and she watched Damon make his way to the front door.
After what happened at the carnival, Emma tried her best to avoid Damon as much as she could. She couldn't face him. She knew that he was questioning as to why she tried to save him, who wouldn't think that after he temporarily killed her brother? So, with every chance she had, she tried not to talk to him, make any eye contact, and to never be in the same room alone with him. If it seemed liked that was going to happen, Emma would simply tag along with Elena.
"Thanks for coming, Ric." Stefan said from his seat after Damon had opened the door to reveal the history teacher.
Alaric entered and made his way to the living room as Damon shut the door behind him. "You need something to drink? Coffee? Bourbon? Bourbon in your coffee?" Damon offered, following him. He gestured toward the other love seat for Alaric. Damon walked over and stood by Emma's chair, making her shift uncomfortably.
"Elena mentioned you needed my help." Alaric said, taking a seat.
Stefan leaned forward. "Yeah. We were hoping you could help shed some light on the Lockwood family." he explained.
"Now why would I know anything about the Lockwoods?" Alaric asked, slightly confused.
From his spot next to Emma, Damon sat on the arm of Emma's chair as he spoke. "Well, you wouldn't. But your dead, not dead vampire wife might." Emma scooted slightly away from him.
Alaric looked down, starting not to like where the conversation was headed. He was about to protest but Elena cut him off.
"Isobel's research, from when you guys were at Duke together." she started.
"You said that she had spent years researching this town." Stefan continued. He leaned forward and rested his elbows on his kneels.
"Isobel's research here, Mystic Falls, was rooted in folklore and legend." Alaric began to explain. "At the time, I thought most of which was fiction." He glanced at the two vampires.
Damon smirked. "Like that amazing vampire story." he joked.
Emma took a sip of her hot chocolate. "What else was there besides vampires?" Emma asked.
Alaric looked her in the eyes. "Lycanthrope."
Emma furrowed her eyebrows. "Isn't that-"
"Werewolves." Damon finished. Damon and Stefan glanced at each other. "No way." he said, crossing his arms across his chest. "Impossible. Way too Lon Chaney."
"Is it?" Stefan countered.
Damon gave Stefan a look. "I've been on this planet for 160-some odd years. I've never come across one." He looked over at Alaric. "If werewolves exist, where the hell are they?"
"Well, why do you suspect the Lockwoods?" Alaric asked.
"Because vervain didn't effect the Mayor on Founder's Day but the Gilbert device did. And it effected his son Tyler." Damon pointed out.
Stefan continued. "And at the school carnival, his uncle Mason exhibited inhuman behavior when he fought one of the carnival workers. It suggested some sort of a supernatural entity."
