Mackenzie was sitting on the cold and wet leaf-covered ground, looking around, frightened at the idea of the wolf coming back. But the noise she was hearing came from the opposite direction that the beast had taken and it sounded more like footsteps. It didn't make her feel better though. Who could be walking around in the forest at this hour? No one with good intentions, that was for sure.

Mackenzie quickly got up, almost falling again under her weak legs, ready to run back to her car at any moment. The footsteps became closer and she took a step back when she saw a figure coming out of the darkness.

"Mackenzie?"

Her eyes widened when she recognized the vampire, and she breathed out, half-relieved.

"What are you doing here?"

"Caroline! What are you doing here?"

"I, um," she paused. The blonde had been told about Mackenzie and everything she should know – like her incredible smell and the mystery of why she couldn't be compelled. But Caroline had been busy with some business of her own and had no idea what Mackenzie knew and what she shouldn't know. She tried to figure out what she could say, keeping in mind that Damon couldn't know about this otherwise she and Tyler would both be dead. "Promise you won't say anything to anyone," she ordered.

Mackenzie was surprised by the blonde's request. It was the last thing she expected her to say, especially because it seemed that everybody in Mystic Falls knew everything about anything. Except for her, of course.

"Um... sure, okay," she nodded.

"I'm helping Tyler. It's his first full moon."

"Tyler?" Mackenzie repeated as her eyes grew bigger. She felt like nothing could surprise her anymore and yet, she couldn't believe that. "Tyler Lockwood? Tyler's a werewolf? That," she asked, pointing at the direction the wolf had taken, "That was Tyler?"

"What? No! I mean yes. I mean..." Caroline spluttered. "You were attacked by a werewolf?" she almost shouted.

Mackenzie nodded. She swallowed heavily before she took a deep breath. It was over now, at least. She needed to start seeing the good sides of things or else she would lose her mind.

"No offense but... how are you still alive?" Caroline asked with a suspicious tone.

"Uh... it... it went away," Mackenzie shook her head. She wasn't feeling like telling the truth, especially because she didn't know it herself. And she wasn't about to tell the blonde how the wind saved her life.

Caroline raised her eyebrows and the look on her face told Mackenzie she didn't believe her. "It went away?" she repeated.

"Yes."

Mackenzie was too tired for this. It was too much for a single night. First Elijah, then the wolf, then this? She was too weak for Caroline's interrogation and she had no patience for it, especially because it sounded like she was calling her a liar.
