'Hey TyTy!' I hug him when I walk into the Lockwood mansion. 'What's up?' he asks me. 'Nothing. I'm having thee with your mom, Mason is about to go for a run, you can join him.' He nods after quickly sprinting outside. I laugh and then walk into Carol's office. 'hey honey, how are you doing?' she asks me as I sit down across from her. 'I'm doing great, just adjusting to be being back.' I say and she laughs. 'So I talked to Liz, the sheriff, for you, and she would be happy to give you a spot on her squad.' She says and I smile. 'That's great, thank you so much! I was getting so bored being home all day.' I say making Carol laugh. 'Have you heard anything from your parents?' she asks me and I nod. 'Well, sort of. I told me I was going to stay here, and they just sent my stuff.' Carol nods. 'How's your grandma doing? Haven't seen here in ages.' She asks. 'She's doing fine. Still working in the garden, that's a good thing I guess.' Carol nods. 'But... you guys have at least 300 acres. Is she maintaining it all by herself?' she asks and I nod. She loves it. And what else does she have to do all day?'

'Hey mom, have you ever been down to those old ruins in the woods?' Tyler asks as he steps into the room. Carol and I frown. 'On the old Lockwood estate?' Carol asks and he nods. 'Yeah, what do you guys know about it?' Tyler asks. 'It was the original plantation house. Beautiful antebellum architecture, and if it hadn't burnt to the ground we'd probably be living in it now.' Carol tells him. 'After it burned it was a tough time for the Lockwood family back then, so we sold the proberty to the Labonair family.' Carol also says.

'SO what's the deal with the freaky underground cellar.' Tyler asks. Nice. He must have seen Mason checking it out. 'We don't talk about those kind of rooms.' Carol says. 'Why not?' Tyler frowns. 'Well, this is the south, but no one like to reminisce about the old slave days.' I explain. Then Mason walks in, shirtless, which makes me stare a little. 'Hey, what are you guys talking about?' He asks. 'We were just talking about the old Lockwood property. Thinking of having some friends over to the swim hole.' Tyler says while looking at his mom. I raise an eyebrow. 'Well, be careful-' I stop Carol from talking. 'I'm sorry Carol, but that's not your decision to make. It's my property, not yours. So no, Tyler. I'm sorry. If anything happens, my family is reliable, so no party. I don't want any drunk teenagers wondering around, sorry.' I say and Tyler nods.

'This good?' I ask Mason while tightening the chains around him, and he nods. 'I'll be right outside. With my gun.' I say and he nods. 'Are you going to be okay?' I ask a little worried and he nods. 'You should go now.' He says. 'okay, yeah.' I say and start to walk out. I walk over to Mason's truck, and sit in the open back of the pick-up. I load the guns, and stare at the full moon. Whenever there is a full moon, I feel so much more energetic. Suddenly, I notice Tyler going down the cellar with some girl. 'Oh, shit.' I sigh as I jump out of the truck. Just when I want to follow them down, I notice Mason running out of the cellar from the other side. 'bastard.' I say and start running after him. I hear some howling to the moon. He already turned. 'MASON?' I yell while trying to chase the sound. I stop running, to look around. I close my eyes, and focus. I hear something running, like a dog, so that should be him.

I jump down from the jeep with a gun, and start running towards the sound. I look up at the sky. The moon appears from behind the clouds, and a stinging pain goes through my body. I scream in pain. 'Rose? Are you okay?' I hear Stefan's voice say. It sounds far away, because of the loud beep in my ears. After a little while, it get's less, and I get up from the ground. 'I have to find Mason.' I say as I start to run again, even though every bone in my body hurts. I stop by the car, Stefan still with me. 'Do you hear that?' He asks me as he walks closer towards the back of the truck. Now I hear the growling too. 'Stefan, get back.' I say and he frowns. 'Why?' He asks and then Mason jumps thorugh the window, in wolf form, and storms off. 'What the hell..?!' Stefan says and I sigh.

'Wait here.' Stefan speeds off, and a little while later he is back with Caroline. 'You guys need to get out of these woods, now.' I tell them and Caroline frowns. Suddenly, Tyler appears from out of the cellar. 'What the hell are you guys doing here?' He asks. 'Uhm, what are you doing here when I told you very clearly not to come here?' I tell him, but then all of a sudden, Mason jumps on top of Caroline, in wolf form, and she starts to scream. Stefan pushes him off, and he gets ready to attack. 'NO!' I scream, and miraculously, he backs off.

Tyler and I hang out by the truck, untill the moon starts to vanish. We just sit there, not talking, untill a dirty, naked Mason appears in front of us. 'It was you.' Tyler says, and Mason nods, as I throw him his clothes. 'Let's get you boys home.' I say while getting behind the wheel.
