The front door opened and Elijah walked in first spotting both of his sisters waiting to hear of Tyler's fate, then Nik walked in holding on to what appeared to be a chain and at the end of it was Tyler wearing a metal collar. As soon as Caroline spotted him she stomped down the stairs with Elena right behind her as Kol walked in and shut the door. Elena walked over to stand next to Kol while Caroline marched right up to Tyler.
"That is for kidnapping us, betraying our friendship and for biting me" she said angrily as her hand connected hard to his cheek, while Elena looked on surprised Caroline slapped him.
"Well Tyler I'm going to go easy on you, I'm going to let them decide your fate...but not tonight" Nik said amused looking at him.
Klaus led him down to the cellar with Elijah right behind them, Kol stayed upstairs and was getting ready to fill them in on what happened when Elena's cell phone buzzed in her pocket.
Did they get home alright with the package?
Yeah, thank you for helping
Figured it was the least we could do for me acting like a dick
:)
Good night
Good night Damon
"Just checking to make sure you guys got home with Tyler" Elena said looking at Kol.
"He was where we were told he would be, wasn't very smart to only have a handful of hybrids with him though. They were easy to get rid of" Kol said.
"Probably thought he was safe where he was hiding, but for him to be found doesn't that mean a hybrid turned on him? I imagine he only told those he trusted" Rebekah stated.
"What are you getting at" Caroline asked.
"I'm just saying we shouldn't trust the person who so easily gave him up, for all we know it was a plan to get Tyler in the house closer to them" she pointed out.
"Rebekah's right, he would have only told a handful of people so he has to know who it was" Freya said.
"I'm going to the cellar to let our brothers know" Kol said as he started to walk away.
"Should I let Stefan and Damon know?" Elena asked as she ran to catch up to him.
"No, not until we're sure Damon wasn't a part of it" Kol said.
"Ok" Elena said with a worried look on her face.
"Sorry love, just precaution. It's my job to keep you safe from those who would do you harm to get to me or my family" he said looking down at her.
"I understand, I just hope they weren't involved" she said.
"I know, I better get down there. You should try and get some sleep if you can. I love you" he said with a smile.
"I love you too" she said smiling back at him as he turned to head down to the cellar.
As she walked back to the others she felt more tired than she realized and told them goodnight as she headed upstairs. She grabbed her pajamas and headed into the bathroom to take a quick shower, then she crawled into the big bed and fell asleep.
"I thought you were staying upstairs with the girls in case any of his hybrid friends decided to be stupid and pay us an unexpected visit?" NIk said as soon as he spotted his younger brother.
"Something we didn't think of, don't either one of you find it odd how easy he was to find? I mean I doubt you told many people where you would be hiding" Kol said as his dark gaze bore into Tyler's.
"What are you suggesting? That it was plan to get him into the house closer to the girls?" Elijah asked.
"What a clever idea, but at the same time a stupid one. We could have killed you before we got here. So Tyler which hybrid betrayed you...if it was betrayal at all?" Nik asked.
"I don't know what you're talking about" Tyler said smugly.
"I would compel you, but I can faintly smell vervain which means it's wearing off. Be rest assured I will find the person who helped in this little plan" Klaus said.
"Nobody helped me do anything" Tyler said.
"And I think you're lying Tyler. But it doesn't matter, as your fate will depend on what the girls decide tomorrow" he said with an amused look.
Tyler watched as the three brothers turned to head upstairs, it was unnerving to have their dark gazes on him especially Kol's. He knew who had betrayed him, and he also knew what was in store for Kol. After he saw the way Elena looked at Kol upstairs, he decided he wasn't going to help the person who turned on him.
"Wait" Tyler called out making all three of them turn to look at him.
"Decided to come clean?" Nik said.
"I know who told you and I know why" he said.
"Who betrayed you and for what reason?" Elijah asked.
"Damon Salvatore, pretty sure Stefan has no idea. Damon wants Elena to think that he accepts her relationship with you to gain her trust back, he plans on compelling her without her knowledge to poison her mind against you. That's why we took her along with Caroline from her house that night so he could, but you showed up before he did. He plans on taking you down anyway he can" Tyler said looking at Kol.
"Why the change of heart?" Kol asked.
"I saw upstairs how the two of you looked at each other, and right before you came down here I heard you two talking. I know where she belongs and it's not with Damon...not anymore" Tyler said.
"So you taking Caroline was to get at me, and taking Elena was for Damon?" Nik asked.
"Yeah" he said looking at Nik.
"So Damon is willing to go to any length to get his ex-girlfriend back even if it means hurting her in the process" Elijah said shaking his head in disbelief.
"I'm going upstairs to bed before I decide to go rip Damon Salvatore apart" Kol said and turned to leave.
"Rest assured brother Damon will get his" Nik said smoothly.
"I'm going to go make sure Kol is indeed in his bedroom with Elena" Elijah said then he was gone.
"You have been most helpful Tyler, see you in the morning" Nik said with a smirk leaving Tyler alone.
