Second Chances

Marcellus

"Elena?" She nods. "You need to go home, Katherine got Jenna off of vervain, she knows everything about you too." I gesture towards Stefan. "Don't let her answer the phone. She'll make Jenna stab herself. Go!"

"What?!"

"Go now." She rushes out the door with Stefan behind her.

Now Mason is fully conscious. "Your girlfriend is a real bitch." I rip the chains off of him.

I hear Damon rush towards me again. Without looking back at him I flick my wrist and he falls to the ground, his neck snapped to the side.

Masons eyes widen, guess he hasn't seen magic before.

Caroline, Bonnie, and Jeremy are still here watching this all silently and with wide eyes.

When they see me look up, they disperse, going somewhere else in the house.

"Katherine was using you Mason."

"No, she loves me. I trust her, she wouldn't do that."

"Then why did you put the moonstone in a vervain filled well?" He's silent. "That's what I thought. I need you to listen to me Mason." I grab his hand and lead him to the couch where we sit down. I cast a silencing spell for privacy.

"The curse of the sun and moon? It's not real. There's a much bigger curse that the moonstone is bound to. It requires three sacrifices. A vampire, a werewolf, and a human." He's shocked at this. "She needed you for the moonstone and for the sacrifice. She turned Caroline as well for it."

"Why would she do that?"

"A very powerful family needs to lift that curse and she needed to help them in order to get her freedom. She was using you Mason, she was going to bring you to get killed. Do you understand me?"

He hangs his head low. "Yes."

"You need to disappear, if you tell anyone where we are going she will just kill you and get someone else. I want to help you. But you have to let me."

"Okay what do we need to do?"

His phone rings. "Give me your phone." He hesitates for a second then pulls it out of his pocket and hands it to me. I click answer and put it up to my ear.

"You're late, where are you?"

"I'm sorry, Mason can't come to the phone right now."

"Where is he? What did you do!?"

"Oh my bad, did you want him alive?" I hang up the phone and text Carol the same thing that Damon was going to. I then throw the phone at the wall making sure it is destroyed.

I stand up and hold out my hand. "You ready."

He takes it and begins to walk with me. "I guess. Where are we going anyway?"

A smirk brings itself to my lips when I look up at him. "You'll see, it'll be fun."

Three hours later, our plane lands and we get in a cab when I get a phone call from Damon.

"Yellow."

"Where the fuck are you!?"

"Far away from you and your temper tantrum. I'll be back in time for the masquerade ball, bye bye." I hang up before he can say anything else.

I turn to Mason and pull out a "manly" bracelet. "I need you to wear this."

"Why?" He puts it on and I sniff. Nothing.

"It hides your scent. Werewolves aren't exactly welcome in the quarter. I'm going to get you a free pass but until then, you'll be safe. I promise."

When we reach our hotel , we step out with our bags and check in. After relaxing for a bit, it is nighttime and that means it's time to go find Marcellus.
