Now And Then - Stefan Salvatore (currently editing)

1.5 A Werewolf

A couple days later. Morning.

I walked downstairs and heard voices. 

Alaric, Stefan, Damon and Elena were sitting there. 

I leaned against the door frame with my arms crossed. 

Alaric asked confused  "why would i know anything about the Lockwoods?"

Damon nodded "Well, you wouldn't. But your dead...Not-dead vampire wife might"

Elena "Isobel's research from when you guys were at Duke together."

Stefan added "you said that she had spent years researching this town. "

Alaric "Isobel's research here in Mystic Falls was rooted in folklore and legend. At the time, i thought most of which was fiction"

Damon said fake excited "Like that amazing vampire story"

Elena "aside from vampires, what else?"

 "The Lycanthrope. Werewolves" i answered and everyone's head shot in my direction. Surprise was written all over their faces.

Damon shook his head "no way. Impossible. Way too Lon Chaney"

I shrugged "Witches, Vampires and Doppelgangers exist. Why not the Werewolves?"

Damon shot me a look  "i've been on this planet 160-some years, never came across one. If werewolves exist, where the hell are they?"

I argued back "Well, i've been on this planet for 500-some years and i've come across some. They exist, Damon, trust me"

Alaric asked confused  "why suspect the Lockwoods?"

Damon "Vervain didn't affect the mayor on Founders Day, the Gilbert device did. And it affected his son Tyler"

Stefan added  "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 being."

Elena "We were hoping that Isobel's research could help us figure out what it is"

Alaric nodded, shrugging "Well, all of her things are still at Duke. I mean, her office is still there. She's technically still missing."

Damon "so can we get access to it? Ric, we need to know what we're dealing with. If this Wolfman thing is true, i've seen enough movies to know it's not good. It means Mason Lockwood is a real-life Lon Chaney. And that little Tyler punk may just very well be Lon Chaney Jr. Wich means Bela Lugosi, meaning me, is totally screwed."

I smirked.

Alaric, Elena and Damon had went to Duke to grab Isobel's research.

Stefan had gone to god knows where which meant that i got to snoop around the mansion. I was snooping around Damon's room when i came across his bar. I smirked and grabbed a bottle and opened the top. Then i smelled it and smirked before taking a sip from it.

Then i walked out with the bottle and upstairs into Stefan's room. Pretty basic. I walked over to his desk and grimaced at the picture frame that was standing there. A picture of Stefan and Elena, laughing and being all happy and shit. I looked at it before turning to frame around to make it face the wall. 

Then i flipped through his open diary before something caught my eye. I raised an eyebrow at the last page or more like was laying between the pages. I grabbed it and looked at it, my face softening. 

It was a picture of me in 1864.

"He still has it. " i said as i bit my lip. 

I jumped for a second when my phone rang. I answered it without looking at who it was. My eyes landed on the open window. It was dark outside and the moon was out. A full moon.
