(Just gonna skip)
two days had passed, and that night was the night of the full moon, for Emily it wasnt jsut the night of ritual, it was the ngiht Tyler would be turning..something she had said shed be there for if Tyler texted ehr askign ehr to be ther.e. Yet he hadn’t.. for the last two days,Emily hadnt left her room. Her door locked for the inside,same as her windows and she kept everyone out. She laced her door and windows with vervain to keep any vampires out. Bonnie was kind enough to spell her room too to kepe Erika out, she wnated nothing to do with anyone anymore… and since she had her own bathroom and mini kitchen in the basement suit, she didnt need to leave at all. The day before the ritual, Emily gave elena two vials of her blood and siad to give them to Erika for the ritual on the night of the ritual. then locked herself inside her room again… she was even thinking of asking to graduate early, she had all the credits she needed and technically didnt need to continue on.. it was a tempting thing to do… in all.. she felt.. exhausted.. depressed.. and jsut… over all done with everything…
Stefan hadnt really spoken to Erika much over the ast few days, he was still going throguh the motions of everything eh ahd found out. He had tried to talk to Emily, but she was shutting everyone out. He sighed to himself gently.. he and dmaon had talked about tit all. And even damon was confused by it all… knowing Stefan , even in his ripper phase, he definitely wouldnt have exposed Erika and her family to Mikael.. but they both kinda understood the paranoia that niklaus had too…stefan wasnt really sure if he even wnated these memories back.. he liked getting to know Erika.. but now knowing they had once known eahc other.. he wasnt sure how he felt about the girl now.. and he didnt wnat old feleings mixing with new ones that were devolving and then makign him confused about it all… that night he sighed as he damon and elena met wiht Erika, klaus and the rest fo the family, caroline was with Tyler that ngiht, but Bonnie came along just in case, while Jenna and jeremy were at home. ‘’Where is Emily?’’ Elijah asked ‘’still in her room… shes closing herself off again like she did when our parents died.. she ont up at all.. but she did give me these to give to you Erika’’ she siad and handed her a small cooler with the vials of blood in it. Stefan looked at Erika but kept his face calm and neutral…
Over the last two days Tyler had calmed himself down about the secrets that Emily kept from him, he understood why, mostly at least. When Erika had come to explain what was going on with Klaus, he didnt hesitate to offer up a vial of his blood so it at least saved him from being killed altogether. Tyler sat at home that evening in contemplation, the last thing he wanted was to lose Emily over this so he decided to text her. 'Em, I'm sorry. I know you were trying to keep me from alot of this weirdness going on, and I'm sorry I got so mad at you about it. You were only trying to protect me, and I'm a jerk, I don't deserve you at all' he wrote then hit send. "I got the wolfsbane" Caroline said. "Thanks, my water bottle is in my bag" Tyler said as he began to strip down to his boxers and set up the chains in the old Lockwood basement before the full moon fully hit and he'd begin to change. "You sure you don't want me to call her again?" Caroline asked. "I already messaged her Care, and you said she vervained and spelled the house, she's not going to come" Tyler said in a strained voice as he got the chains on just in time before falling to his knees in agonizing pain.
Erika felt like her heart had dropped deep into her stomach, ever since Emily told Stefan the truth about their past, he hadnt spoken to her. Erika also blamed herself for even telling Emily, she thought she could keep a secret but apparently Erika was wrong. Erika waited in the dark field, Klaus on her left, then Elijah and Rebekah, on her right was Finn then Kol. Everything was set up for the ritual, they just needed the others to arrive. Erika took the vials from Elena. "Here's Tyler's too" Damon added and gave it to Erika. "Thank you" she said as the rest of the Mikaelson's went to where an old tree stump on a rock was, Klaus took out the moonstone. "None of you need to stay for this. I will ensure my uncle leaves town as Emily requested" Erika said simply. "Wait, what about Stefan's memories?" Bonnie asked. Erika paused a moment. "That is his choice. If you want them back, you can stay, if not, I suggest you leave. Once my uncle is a full hybrid he will shift and hunt, and werewolves prefer to hunt vampires" she told them before walking to where Klaus was waiting, a fire abruptly coming from the tree stump underneath the moonstone.
