Malik was walking around looking at the preparations while Caroline remained silent and the two of them walked ahead, until they ran into Tyler.

"How are you feeling?" asked Caroline carefully.

"I'm okay. Thanks to Malik the pain is barely there anymore.

"It's the least I could do Tyler" smiled the warlock brightly.

"You did it. You know, you...your first full moon and you didn't hurt anyone. It'll get easier. You'll get better at it, you'll learn to control it and it won't hurt so much."

"We don't know any of that for sure."

"No, Tyler but last night was a victory. You know, let's take it."

"Besides, the more you're willing to accept your wolf, the easier it will get" explained Malik quietly.

"Look, I really want to thank you. I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't been there" answered Tyler and looked at them both, earning a big smile from the duo.

"Yeah, anyway, uh... next month we should probably reinforce the wall because you almost got me that one time and it just would have been, um..." started Caroline

"What? Wait. What is it?" protested Tyler and looked at the girl while Malik just watched them carefully.

"Well, it's not a big thing, it's just that one bite and it's... you know, curtains for me."

"What are you talking about?"

"The legend says that a bite from a werewolf can kill a vampire."

"How do you know that?"

"It's part of the balance of nature" stepped in malik immediately, saving Caroline from having to reveal anything. "I told Caroline about it since I knew a werewolf before."

Before Tyler could have said anything Matt arrived and interrupted their conversation.

"Caroline, you got a second?"

"Yeah, sure" answered the blonde smitten by his presence, making Malik just shake his head and simply walked off while Tyler decided to be more polite about it.

"I'll see you guys later."

The werewolf ran after the warlock and once he reached him he stopped in front of him making the boy look at him.

"I don't take it lightly for what you've done for me Mal... I... thank you."

"Don't worry about it" smiled the boy and tilted his head as he looked at him.

It seemed Tyler wanted to say something, but he was far too nervous which made the warlock chuckle slightly.

"Whatever it is just say it Tyler."

"You said you knew other werewolves... "

"I did, yes."

"What did they think of the curse?"

"Some werewolves embrace it and own it, everything that comes with it. While they were some who did not like that part of themselves... but it's hard to do all that when you're the only werewolf around."

"I guess... I wish Mason wouldn't have bailed."

Malik felt bad, knowing full well he was there when Mason was captured... looking at Tyler he just gave him a smile then excused himself. He had to get away and just enjoy mundane things as much as he could.

But it didn't help much.

All day all he could think about was the events happening around him. An original in town, new witches, werewolves arriving into town... it seemed his simple life was turning completely upside down.
