Merciless - TVD [1]

After Mallory found out about Mason trying to kill her brothers, she knew he had to go, even though he hadn't messed with personally.

Mallory was in the parlor, drinking from a blood bag when there was a knock on the door. Not knowing who it was, she hid the blood bag behind her back. She sighed in relief when Damon opened the door to reveal Jeremy, "Mallory's busy," Damon replied, about to close the door.

"I'm not here for Mallory, I'm here to talk to you," Jeremy informed him, causing Damon to furrow her eyebrows in confusion.

"And why do I need to talk to you?" Damon questioned, about to close the door.

Before he could, Jeremy pressed the palm of his hand against the door, stopping him, "Tyler Lockwood has to kill someone to activate his curse," He told Damon quickly, "He's not a werewolf yet."

"Wow. Fascinating," Damon sarcastically replied, "Your girlfriend already told me about that. It's not enough."

Damon tried to close the door again, but Jeremy stopped him once more, "But Mason Lockwood is, and he's looking for a moonstone; A special rock that's connected to the werewolf legend. That's why he's here."

"A moonstone?" Damon questioned, quickly glancing over Mallory, not remembering her ever telling him about that when she explained her excuse for not being there to save him and Stefan like she always did when they were in trouble.

"And I know where it is," Jeremy smiled proudly.

"And you're bringing me this why?" Damon asked him.

"Because I knew Mallory wasn't going to tell you because she's up to something bad and I don't want to be apart of that," Jeremy replied, not knowing that Mallory in the living room listening to their conversation, "Look, I just want to help, okay?"

"What did your sister say about this little discovery?" Damon questioned Jeremy, who remained silent, "Oh, you haven't told her, have you?"

"Well, Elena doesn't want me getting involved in all of this," Jeremy replied as he tried to enter the house.

Damon placed the palm of his hand on Jeremy's chest and pushed him back, "And you're a Gilbert and you just can't help yourself. And of course, the most important reason: Your girlfriend's a vampire and she's roping you into all of this without anyone knowing, isn't she?"

Jeremy remained silent, shaking his head. He knew Damon was right, "Wow. Your search for life's purpose is as obvious as it is tragic," Damon commented.

"You going to let me in or not?" Jeremy asked Damon annoyed.

"Let's ask your girlfriend," Damon told Jeremy, whose eyes widened in shock as he opened the door wider to reveal Mallory standing in the parlor with her arm crossed, "Ooh. She doesn't look too happy."

"Can I come in or not?" Jeremy asked the two vampires in.

Damon turned to Mallory, waiting for a response. Mallory stayed silent and nodded her head, allowing Damon to let Jeremy in, "Come on in, Little Gilbert," He told Jeremy with a smirk on his face, "But I can't promise you that my sister won't rip you to shreds for snitching on her."
