"Down here!" Caroline orders as the three of us rush down to the cellar. We slam the main door shut and get behind the iron gate just in time seeing since Tyler, in wolf form, breaks down the door, growls and snarls at Caroline and me from the other side of the iron gate.

 I had my bow and quiver over my shoulder, my main focus right now was not being wolf food. 

Caroline is behind me holding the bottom of the chain and pulling while I'm at the front, I can't exactly let her get too close because we all know what happens when a vampire gets bitten by a werewolf. Even if Tyler gets me, Caroline will heal me.

"Caroline, Ariel, let me help!" Matt yelled at us

Caroline looked back at him. "Get back, we got it!"

Tyler starts to attack, fitting his snout through the bars of the gate and snapping and snarling, making Caroline and me flinch at his speed but hold the gate steady as Tyler backs up and attacks a second time.

"Guys, the door's not going to hold." Matt yells.

He backs away while pointing the gun at Tyler

"Come on!"

"Tyler, please!" I beg.

Tyler doesn't let up on his attack and Matt shoots Tyler, who yelps in pain and backs away before he shoots again.

"Matt! No, hey, no! It's Tyler!" Caroline yells. "It's trying to kill us!" Matt argues,

"Wait!" I yell before Matt can shoot again. Caroline looks back. Tyler is lying on the ground, panting heavily.

"He's wounded." I realize. "Caroline, stay back." Matt barks as Caroline begins to unlock the gate.

"We can go around him." Caroline says.

"Are you nuts?" Matt argues.

"You're not going to shoot him again, okay?" I order him and look at Caroline who stretches her hand to us.

"Okay. take my hand." Caroline extends her hand towards Matt as she opens the gate and walks out, I take my hand" Caroline orders, I take her hand, and turn to Matt who keeps his gun trained on Tyler. "I got it."

I look back at him. "Matt, take my hand." I order.

Matt finally complies and places the rifle over his shoulder. He takes my hand and Caroline uses her vamp-speed the three of us out of the cellar.

...............

Matt, Caroline and I rush into the Lockwood mansion, Caroline shuts the doors and locks them

Caroline and I breathe out, leaning against the doors while Matt peers out one of the front windows.

"Do you see anything?" I ask him. "We're not safe here. If that thing wants in, it's getting in." He's not a thing. Matt opens the chamber of the rifle and reloads it. 

Tyler is not a thing.

"How did you even know what I was? I compelled you to forget!" Caroline exclaims to him.

"I was on vervain. I faked forgetting so I could spy on you. It was your mom's idea."

Matt walks out of the room to peer out another window. Caroline and I, exchanged shocked glances and follow him.

"Wait, my mom knows?! Oh my God! You told her. Well, what'd she say?"

Matt turns back around to look at Caroline.

"Your mom hates vampires. She grew up hating vampires. She'll probably always hate vampires."

"Well, what about you?" Caroline asks.

"What about me?" Matt questions. "Where does this leave us?"

"Stuck in this house. Trying not to get mauled to death by our friend." Matt replies.
