"THANKS FOR COMING RIC, CAN I GET YOU SOMETHING TO DRINK?" Damon asked opening the door for Alaric.

"Coffee, bourbon, bourbon in your coffee?"

"Elena mentioned you needed my help?" Ric dismissed his question going into the parlor where everyone sat together

"Yeah we were hoping you could shed some light about the lockwood family?" Stefan asked as he sat next to Elena

"Why would I know anything about the Lockwood family?" He asked confused

"Well you wouldn't"

"But you dead not dead vampire wife would" Damon explained looking sneakily at his friend

"Isobel's research from when you guys studied at Duke's?" Elena asked

"You said she spent years researching this town " Marco answers, he didn't really have any interest to be honest he knew everything about werewolves at least what katherine told him, but he knew if he said something everything about his relationship with the she devil would come out

Call him selfish but his brothers are everything to him if this would come out they would never speak to him especially Damon.

"Isobel's research here in Mystic Falls rooted in folklores and legends but at the time I thought much of which was fiction." Alaric said sighing in between this was hard for him talking about his wife.

"Like that amazing vampire story" Damon smirked

"Aside from vampires, what else?" Elena asked

"The lycanthrope"

"Werewolves?" Marco asked, shifting in his sheet sipping ons his bourbon.

"No way, impossible, way too Lon Chaney." Damon shifted in his seat, clearly unimpressed about this new species.

"is it?"

"I've been on this planet one hundred and sixty some odd years, never came across one. If werewolves exist, where the hell are they?" He shrugged his shoulders.

"Why do you suspect the lockwoods?" Alaric asked, looking around the room at everyone.

"Because vervain didn't affect the mayor at Founders' Day but the Gilbert device did and it affected his son Tyler." Damon said looking at alaric

"And at the school carnival his uncle Mason exhibited inhuman behavior when he fought with one of the carnival's workers." Stefan added

"And they're absolutely psycho," Marcos added, smirking.

"It suggests it's some sort of a supernatural entity."

"We were hoping that Isobel's research could help us figure it out," Elena said, hoping Ric would help them as they want to know why or what Katherine is searching for.

"All of her things are still at dukes because she's technically still missing."

"Can we get access to it?" Damon asked

"Ric, we need to know what we are dealing with. If this wolfman thing is true, I've seen enough movies to know it's not good." Damon persistently said as he saw ric doubting they needed to get that research it was the only way.

"It means Mason Lockwood is a real-life Lon Chaney and that little Tyler punk may just very well be Lon Chaney junior, which means Bella Lugosi, meaning me, is totally screwed." Damon said clearly seriously this time.

"Ah shit" Marco thought they were either gonna drag him with them to duke or he was gonna be babysitting Caroline, he absolutely couldn't wait for Katherine's tantrum.

They still hadn't talked after, she was being quiet, way too quiet.

He was the babysit.

He had to teach Caroline how to hunt, animals he had the best control out of all his brothers surprisingly .

But first he had to convince Bonnie to make her friend a daylight ring, and honestly The bennet witch was being very stubborn.

"I don't know how to make a daylight ring, and honestly I don't even know if I want to," Bonnie whispered as they sat in the grill.

"Emily made mine and my brothers ring too, everything must be in her grimoire." He explained.

"Doesn't mean i can cast the spell."

"Bonnie" Marco cleared his throat "You know how to drop vampires with one look, i'm pretty sure you can make a daylight ring." He smiled , he was serious; he knew the young witch had lots of potential.

"Caroline killed someone Marcos, I can't make it easier for her to do it again." She frowned; she really liked that boy.

"We're not going to make it easier, we're giving her a chance to survive, everyday that she is cut off from her old life, from Elena, from Matt, it's gonna get harder for her to stay huma,." He explained, he truly only wanted the best for her.

"And how do you know she won't hurt anyone else". She frowned

"I don't, it may happen again, maybe it won't, but how will yoàu know if you wont give her a chance." He honestly said, he didn't know how he could, he was only trying to help.

"I don't know if I can trust her, Marco." She sadly said this was hard for her , she grew up with Caroline.

"Then trust me."

"So i don't get to choose the ring that i have to wear for the rest of my life" Caroline scoffed, looking at the ring she finds ugly.

"Hey.. if you don't want it." Bonnie said looking at their friend.

"No.." Marco began looking at the blonde. "She wants it."

"Now what?"

"Now I will explain the rules. The witch who spelled the ring can also despell it, so if you do anything to hurt someone i will stop you." Fair enough, Marco thought he would do the exact same.

"I'm not going to hurt anyone." Caroline scoffed, looking away and annoyed at her friend.

"You're a vampire, the urge to kill is a part of who you are." The witch explained clearly

"You're supposed to be my friend Bonnie," Caroline pouted clearly upset.

"You killed someone Caroline, I can't forget that."

"Put the ring on the bed." Bonnie said as she walked to the window , Caroline did as she said before beginning.

"Did you really think I meant to kill that guy at the carnival?" Caroline annoçyingmy said.

"He's still dead now. Do you want me to cast the spell or not?" Bonnie said before Caroline got the memo and quieted down.

Bonnie opened the curtain a bit, Caroline flinched away,

Marco looked at Bonnie as she was muttering a spell

"Its done," Bonnie gave the ring

"Hm so that's it nothing witchy happened, no gusting wind no flickering lights?" She brabbeld "Have you ever done this before?"

"Caroline." Marco dragged on looking at the blonde in annoyance sometimes she really couldn't quiet down.

"I just wanna make sure it worked." She scoffed before she shrieked as Bonnie opened the curtain the sun doing nothing to the blonde

"It worked." She smiled

"What if it hadn't bonnie?" She scoffed looking at her friend

Bonnie looked at marcos with raised eyebrows before whispering. "She's all yours;"

Caroline looked at her ring, it wasn't really that ugly, before looking at Marco smiling, as he smiled back.

"So I just hunt the rabbit, kill the rabbit?" Caroline questingly asked Marco, who was standing next to her.

"Look, the only reason why you're hunting rabbits is because i had to from Stefan." Marco sighed, rubbing his brows, he really didn't wanna be here, he liked Caroline but he wasn't on the bunny diet so why couldn't Stefan teach her.

"Aren't you the oldest?" She snickered, bumping into him.

"Yeah I thought so too, but I trust Stefan , if he says bunny diet, its bunny diet." He sighed before walking on using his hearing.

"So what else do vampires have?" She asked

"Well all your emotions are heightened." He calmly said

"What do you mean?" Caroline asked.

"Well as a human I was calm and stable so as a vampire all of that magnified."

"So you're saying that now I'm basically an insecure, neurotic control freak...on crack?" She scoffed looking at the man in front of her

"Yeah pretty much."

"Look i'll make a deal well hunt the disgusting rabbit and after we'll have some fun at the swimming hole."

"Are you ignoring me?" He typed on his phone as he had Caroline in his sights. She was talking to Matt after compelling a girl away from him, She was a lot like Katherine , jealous but less violent.

"She was also nothing like Eliza, Eliza Forbes was never jealous she knew Marcos was in love with her, He did miss her but it is better this way, he didn't want her to see the monster he had become.

"Maybe." She typed back. "Did you listen to me?"

"You know I have no choice, Katherine."

"Can you meet me?" She typed back.

"Not now i'm at a swimming hole."

"Ok, be careful it's a full moon." She said,

"Shit." He sighed it was already becoming evening he had to get Caroline and get the fuck out.

"Caroline." He called and cursed she wasn't where she was before.

He called her phone only for it to ring in the back of Matt's pickup.

Marcos walks further into the woods, looking for Caroline when he hears an animal growling. He sees Mason's car and goes toward it, noticing scratch marks on the ground. He sees chains tied to the tree. He looks into the car and sees yellow eyes looking out. "What the." A wolf jumps through the window, falls on him and leaves.

"CAROLINE NO." Marco yelled as he pushed her off the wounded boy.

"Listen, we need to go right now." He grabbed the girl before looking at the boy. "Matt, do not move."

Marcos hears noise around him before he looks at Caroline. "Listen me and you , we're gonna run, it's gonna follow us we're gonna drag it away from Matt, ok?"

She nodded shakily, "Ok go!"

They start to run towards the old rune. "Wait, what is it?"

"It's a werewolf he will try to kill us and he can, one bite and it over Caroline." He distressed says trying to move on, but he can't as Tyler suddenly pops up . "Hey, what are you doing?"

"What are you doing?" Marco furrows his brow, but he can't ask more as the wolf pops up again and jumps on top of Caroline.

"No" Marco yelled, tackling the wolf and quickly jumping away from it.

The wolf was going to attack growling and hissing his drooling canines at them. "No!' Tyler yells, the wolf looks at him seemingly softening its eyes and running away.

"You ok?" Marco asked after seeing Caroline compel Matt.

"Yeah just.." She sighed, getting emotional.

"I'll get Stefan to put Matt on vervain so you wont get to compel him again." He says pointing at him.

"Ok.." She says sniffling

"Come here." He says pulling her into a hug, he really found himself liking the blonde more and more he was confused.

"Go on, go home and get some sleep."

Marcos knocks on the front door of a hotel room, the door is opened by the beautiful devil Katherine Pierce, she smirks opening it further. "Knew you couldn't stay away."

He scoffed going through her to go inside.

"Sure, let yourself in." She scoffed closing the door.

"Yeah, look, we need to talk." He said as he already helped himself to a drink before sitting on the bed.

"I'd rather we didn't talk," She smirked before seductively sauntering over to him and straddled his lap.

"He sighed and looked at her. "I think we should talk."

"Then talk" She whispered, kissing his neck and biting his earlobe, taking a moan out of him. "Fuck it." He cursed before flipping her over onto the bed, moving his hand up her thigh and ripping her panties off.

She captures his lips as she unbuckles his jeans and makes him enter her roughly. "Hmm I missed you."

"Yeah did you miss me." He smirked before diving into her neck and biting her making her moan.

"You're mine aren't you, only mine" She declared before moaning as he thrusted into her harder.

"I'm yours, I'm only yours." He moaned, finishing into her and kissing her one final time.

"Yours"
