Vampire Diaries (Aria Gilbert )

Kill or be killed

*Emerald Coast One Year Ago,In the Emerald Coast, Florida, Mason is in a bar.*
Mason: All right, Carlos. That's it for me.(He pays and goes outside. A man who's been drinking and observing him follows him. Mason goes to his car. The man pushes him.)
Jimmy: Mason!
Mason: Hey Jimmy. Easy. Let's get you home.
Jimmy: Screw you!(He pushes him again.)I know about you and Marla.
Mason: What are you talking about? You've had too much to drink.(Jimmy strangles him. Mason pushes him.)
Mason: Dude! What's up?! It's me, Mason! I'm not messing with Marla. You know that!(Jimmy punches Mason in the face.)You don't want to do this buddy.
Jimmy: I'll kill you!(Jimmy throws Mason on the ground and kicks him in the stomach. Mason catches his arm and pushes him. Then, he carries him and throws him on the floor. Jimmy's head hit the ground very hard. He's dead.)
Mason: Jimmy? Jimmy?

*Lockwood Mansion*
Tyler: Wait, the guy died? You killed him?
Mason: He kept coming at me. He got in his head that I was sleeping with his girlfriend.
Tyler: Were you?
Mason: No. No. I wouldn't do that, he was my friend. He was drunk and attacked me. It was self-defense.
Tyler: And it triggered the curse.
Mason: On every full moon, I lose control. If I don't sedate myself and chain myself down, I'll kill anything in my path. You have to be careful. All it takes is an accident, a car wreck. Any death at your hands and you'll have a lifetime of this. You don't want it Tyler, trust me.All right. Where's the moonstone? A deal's a deal. I answered your questions.
Tyler: Um, yeah, I'm not sure but I'm guessing it's in here.(He goes toward his father's safe.)My dad, he was very kooky about his hiding spots but I figured most of them out over the years.(He opens the safe.)It's all yours(Mason looks inside the safe but the moonstone isn't there.)Are you gonna tell me what's so important about this rock or what?
Mason: I told you, it's just something I want. Sentimental value.
Tyler: Yeah, I'm not really buying that. Why do you really want it?
Mason: Do you know where it is or not?
Tyler: No, I figured it would be in here, man.

*Gilbert Residence,Elena is in the bathroom. Jeremy is there too.*
Jeremy: I can't believe Tyler Lockwood is a werewolf.
Elena: We're not sure about that yet. The only thing we know for sure is that Mason Lockwood is.
Jeremy: It should be enough easy for us to figure it out.
Elena: There is no us. I said that I wouldn't keep things from you anymore. That doesn't mean that I want you involved in it.
Jeremy: By definition of being in this family, I'm involved,and besides Aria already said it was ok for me to help.
Elena: This is dangerous, Jeremy and don't listen to Aria,she might be older than you but am the oldest.You have to stay out of it, okay?
Jeremy: Alright. Just saying.(He leaves. Elena opens her closet. When she closes it, Stefan is here.)
Stefan: Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.(She closes the door and kisses him.)
Elena: Hi.
Stefan: Hey.(They embrace each other.)Are you ready for today?
Elena: No. I hate fighting with you, even if it's fake.
Stefan: I know but if Katherine thinks that we are fighting, then she will think that she's winning and it keeps her from following through with her threats.
Elena: Yeah. But it doesn't make it any easier. Neither does knowing that Caroline will be there, reporting everything back to her.
Stefan: Hey, everything's gonna be okay. Yes, we have to keep up this ruse for a little while but the best way to keep Katherine from hurting anybody, from hurting you or Aria,even if she says she wouldn't hurt her.
Elena:About that,why does she keep calling Aria her sister?
Stefan: because they were in Aria's past life.
Elena: oh, yeah that's really hard to believe that she isn't a doppelgänger.
Stefan:yeah,and about her being a wolf as well.
Elena:Just promise me that she won't get her way with us. We can fake a fight, we can pretend that her threats are tearing us apart but none of it is real, okay?
Stefan: Okay, how about this? Today, when we're fighting, if I say "I can't do this anymore, Elena", what I'll really mean is that I love you.
Elena: And when I say, "Fine Stefan, whatever", well that means I love you too.(They kiss.)
