Sweet but Psycho

Chapter 46: The Hybrid

Ryan wakes up in the cemetery, curled up in a ball in front of John's rock and on top of his grave. Grumbles under her breath as she stands up and her heels break. She takes them off and she walks to her car, and it won't start. She yells out and she slams her hands against the stirring wheel.

She grabs her phone and texts Elena.

To: sis.
From: Ryan

Can you come get me? My car won't start Nd I'm stranded.

From: sis
To: Ryan
I'll be right there, Ryan. I'll call a tow truck for the car.

Ryan sighs and she gets out of her car, and slaps the door shut. She folds up John's letter before putting it back into the pocket of her blazer, and waits for her sister to pick her up.

Ryan goes to the bathroom as soon as she gets to the house, she and Elena are going to be bonding today. Ryan had grass in her hair and she smelled like marijuana. She didn't mind the smell but Elena might.

Ryan and Elena sit across the table from Tyler at the Grill. He was surprised to hear from both of the twins but he agrees to meet then. Alaric is sitting at the bar. But Elena wanted to ask Tyler about werewolf packs and locations for full moon shifts for the runners.

"A lot of us like to keep to ourselves to a full moon, chain ourselves up," Tyler explains. "But there are some werewolves that like to gather in places where they don't have to do that, where they can enjoy it."

"What kinds of places?" Elena asks as Ryan stuffs her face with the fries, she has the munchies.

"Mountains, state parks, deserts," Tyler lists, "that kind of stuff."

"Anywhere in Tennessee?" Elena asks.

"Yeah, here, give me your phone," Tyler says. "I'll try and pull up a map."

Elena pulls out her phone and she hands it over to Tyler. "Thanks for this. I know it's asking a lot."

"As Caroline likes to remind me, Stefan's in this mess because I got Damon," Tyler says as he works. "I figured I owed you guys one... Ryan, have you talked to Caroline today?"

"No," Ryan replies. "Sorry."

"It's okay," Tyler says and he hands the phone back to Elena. "That's your best bet."

Elena and Ryan thank Tyler, and Tyler says he'd pay for Ryan's food. They walk up to the bar where Alaric is.

"Did you guys hey anything?" Alaric asks.

"How do you feel about a hike through the smoky mountains?" Elena asls.

"You want to hunt down a pack of werewolves on a full moon?" Alaric scoffs at the two of them.

"We'll be out of there before the moon is full," Ryan says. "If you don't wanna come, Elena and I will go alone."

Alaric gives her a look.

"What?" Ryan smirks. "You texted me. Told me I could be a badass all on my own now."

"I meant fighting vampires and training," Alaric grumbles. "Let's just... lets just go. But, uh, you're driving."
