44. Death isn't the end of someone

Caroline's P.O.V.

Matt and I are still in the cellar, resisting to keep Tyler away from us with the iron gate. I'm still holding the chains as Tyler, in wolf form, growls and snarls at us while trying to get to us. He bites on the iron gate and tries to break the bars. Matt is behind me, holding the rifle tightly in his hands and looking nervously at his friend in wolf form. This is the second time now that I live this situation but for Matt... He has everything at the same time. Knowing that I'm a vampire and that his best friend is a werewolf must be hard. It was for me, I remember...

- Caroline, let me help! exclaims my boyfriend scared but brave at the same time. He was about to grab the chain but I push him back.

- Get back, I got it! I scream back at Matt. Tyler starts to attack us, fitting his snout through the bars of the gate, snapping and snarling. He gets madder and madder, and rougher. I flinch but keep a tight hold on the gate. Tyler backs up and attacks a second time.

- Caroline, the door's not going to hold, tells me the blonde boy standing behind me. Matt backs away while continuing to point the gun at Tyler. Come on! Tyler charges to us again and the bars spread more and more each time.

- Tyler, please! I plead and scream at my werewolf friend. Tyler doesn't let up on his attack and backs away again. He was ready to run towards us again when Matt shoots at the werewolf, who yelps in pain and backs away. Matt! No, hey, no! It's Tyler! Matt shoots him again.

- It's trying to kill us! yells my boyfriend.

- Wait! I lower his gun as I keep a hold on the chains. I turn around and look at Tyler who is laying on the ground of the cellar, panting heavily. No... He's wounded.

- Caroline, stay back, I begin to take the chains off and unlock the gate.

- We can go around him, I tell to the blonde boy as I let the chains drop.

- Are you nuts? questions Matt, pointing the rifle on Tyler again.

- You're not going to shoot him again, okay? Okay. Matt, take my hand, I say as I hold my hand out and look at Tyler on the ground with a frown. I slightly walk out, waiting for Matt to grab my hand. But the boy keeps his rifle pointed on the wolf.

- I got it.

- Matt, take my hand, I say to the human boy while looking back at him. Matt finally lowers the gun and places the rifle over his shoulder. He sighs before taking my hand. Not even a second later, I vamp-speed the two of us out of the cellar, to get him and I in a safe place.

Damon's P.O.V.

I'm sitting at the bar in Alaric's apartment, staring at my hands which are crossed. I frown, thinking. Katherine stands over me, staring at my hands as well as I play with my thumbs. How can I go there, saving Elena and Gillian at the same time? And especially Gillian. If she has a wolf bite, Klaus might kill her immediately. Or with some luck, he'll just leave her on the side. but with a very faint luck. This is so wrong. It shouldn't have turn that way. And now, he has not only Gillian and Elena but Jenna as well. Alaric is going to freak out.

- So what does a werewolf bite looks like? questions Katherine to me as she arcs her brows. I look up at her with a frown. I mean, all along the sickness.

- You don't want to know, I answer as I look away.

- It's not that bad, right? I mean, you have a, huh, a antidote, a cure or something to save, right? asks Gillian's mother with nervousness.
