I had made myself comfy on one of the Salvatores couch's with a glass of bourbon in my hand when a knock on the door sounded through the room. Damon looked at me expectedly like I was to answer it.

"You get it, it's your door." He rolled his eyes and walked over to open the door, I could sense who it was just as he opened the door, baby Gilbert. I hadn't really spoken to him but I knew he existed and he knew I existed, we were civil, I suppose.

I couldn't care less about him or his life but he was Elena's brother which meant - for now - he had some priority. I listened in on their conversation from where I was, "I need to talk to you."

"I don't need to talk to you." Damon attempted to close the door but failed, "Tyler Lockwood has to kill someone to activate the curse, he's not a werewolf yet." I looked up at this, why is it any of his concern, it's good Tyler isn't a werewolf yet.

"Wow, fascinating. Not enough." I furrowed my brow, was Damon using baby Gilbert? I silently stood up and walked closer, bourbon still in hand, "Mason Lockwood is and he's looking for a moonstone, a special rock connected to the werewolf legend, that's why he's here." I knew Kathrine had Mason doing her dirty work and no doubt Mason had the stone already, the question was had he given her it. I may need to do damage control.

"A moonstone?" Damon muttered under his breath, "and I know where it is." I continued to listen as they bickered back and forth about multiple things, I considered Jeremy being under compulsion by Katherine, something to throw us off her trail but quickly scrapped the thought, she was smart - but not that smart.

"Your search for life's purpose is as obvious as it is tragic." I looked up at these words, Jeremy had balls and bravery - I'll give him that, "You gonna let me in or not?" When Jeremy was in the house I smiled at him and went back to where I was sitting, and picked up the book I had brought with me. I had found it amusing to sit in the Salvatore boarding house, everything happens here, plus Damon's bourbon and blood mixture is really good.

Caroline had came in at one point but with a brief smile she went straight down to the holding cell where her mother was - waiting to be compelled to forget about not only the Salvatores but also her daughters vampirism.

The door opened again but I continued reading my book, it was an old one, something Elijah had gotten me as a gift. "Ric!" Damon's voice ring out as Alaric walked further into the room, "what are you doing here?" Alaric asked when he spotted Jeremy standing beside where I was sat, "well, I'm the one who found out about the moonstone." I suppressed a laugh, if only you knew Jeremy, if only you knew.
