Werecat Protector: TVD/TO

Finding the Moonstone

Imarina's POV

I'm having breakfast when there's a knock at the door. Damon goes to answer it and I follow while eating my apple. He opens the door and there stands a fifteen year old boy, must be Jeremy. "I need to talk to you" he tells Damon.

"And why do I need to talk to you?" Damon asks him bored.

"Tyler Lockwood has to kill someone to activate his curse. He's not a werewolf yet" he states.

"Wow fascinating" I drawl.

"Not enough" Damon tells him and starts to shut the door. But Jeremy stops him.

"But Mason Lockwood is and he's looking for a moonstone, a special rock connected to the werewolf legend. That's why he's here" Jeremy explains.

"A moonstone?" Damon asks.

Do you know what a moonstone is? I ask Jaguar.

'A magical rock connected to the werewolf curse, don't know anything else' she tells me.

"Do you know where it is?" I ask Jeremy.

"Yes, I do" he answers.

"And you're bringing us this why?" Damon asks him.

"Do I need a reason? Look, I just want to help, okay?" he tells us.

"What does your sister think of this discovery?" Damon asks. Jeremy remains silent.

"Oh, you haven't told her, have you?" I ask him.

"Well, Elena doesn't want me getting involved in all this" he states. Jeremy tries to walk into the house. Damon pushes him out.

"And you're a Gilbert and you just can't help yourself. Wow. Your search for life's purpose is as obvious as it is tragic" Damon tells him.

"You going to let me in or not?" Jeremy asks him. Damon sighs and steps aside. Jeremy walks in and Damon closes the door behind him. We go to the library as Damon calls Alaric and I place my apple core in the bin. "So you're Imarina, the werecat?" he asks me.

"Yes" I tell him. "Don't ask me how I turned, I don't really get it myself" I state.

"You're meant to protect the vampires here right?" he asks.

"Just the ones in the same bloodline as the vampires in town" I correct him. "I had a dream of the Salvatore brothers in a burning building and turned. Jaguar then lead me here" I tell him.

"Does it hurt turning?" he asks as Damon goes to greet Alaric.

"Like hell" I tell him.

"What are you doing here?" Alaric asks Jeremy.

"Helping Damon and Imarina. I'm the one who found out about the moonstone" Jeremy answers. Alaric looks at Damon and I, we both shrug.

"Does Elena know you're here?" he asks Jeremy.

"Not exactly" Jeremy answers.

"What you got?" I ask changing the subject. Damon starts to dig through the box and takes out a book.

"This is Isobel research's from Duke. Her assistant sent it to me" Alaric explains.

"Mmm, Vanessa. The hottie" Damon says smirking. Alaric takes the book out of Damon's hands.

"Vanessa, yes. Now, do you remember the old Aztec curse she told us about?" Alaric asks.

"Sun and the moon, blah blah blah" Damon says.

"An Aztec curse?" I ask as Jeremy and I join them at the table.

"Cool" Jeremy says. I'd rather an Egyptian curse.
