Warnings: PG-13
Status: Complete

She didn’t want him there; it wasn’t a secret…Elena would have preferred to be left alone, instead of saddled with someone who was hell bent on helping her. Tyler wasn’t one of the Salvatore brothers; he’d never been wrapped around her finger, and he didn’t place her above everything else in Mystic Falls. Never had; whether that was good or bad…but he still cared. And more than anyone else in their circle, he knew what it was like to be ostracized. Everyone had turned their back on him when he was sired to Klaus; this was a little different…she’d flipped the switch to get away from the grief. And grief? Yeah, he had more experience with it than he ever wanted to. Now they were stuck in Hell; or supposed to be. It didn’t really feel that way to him. Hell was looking at the manor that had always belonged to his family and realizing that they were all gone. He had been on the run up to this point…why should he feel any different now?

There was Klaus too; he had given Tyler ‘permission’ to come back home. The arrogant son of a bitch. It made his blood boil just thinking about it. The kind of white hot anger that never truly went away. It was why he had doubled back to his apartment to begin with; grab a quick shower, change clothes, try to get his emotions back in check. Because he already knew Elena was going to push his buttons; she liked doing it now…and he wanted to go in there with a cool head, at least to begin with. There was his roommate too; a really attractive brunette, one that he had almost given a heart attack to when she woke up. But that was something that he could deal with later. She seemed nice enough; and he hadn’t tried to be a dick, just had a lot going on in his head, coming and going out of the apartment their shared pretty frequently.

His short hair was still damp as he made his way across the apartment complex; he could have taken the elevator, but Tyler elected on going the long way. Just bracing himself. She was going to bring up Caroline and Klaus. And that? Was a subject that he didn’t handle very well. Part of him just wanted to run outside, let the change happen, and be completely free. It’d be worth the pain; the odds of hurting someone, or killing them, was the only thing that kept it from happening. He knew what room she was in; Elena didn’t even have to tell him, her scent was pretty distinct, easily picked up. Sometimes having a little wolf in you was a good thing. He was walking down the long corridor, arms at his sides, dressed in an under armor shirt and shorts…Tyler had a feeling this was going to get pretty physical.

602. That was where he came to a halt; he knew that Elena was inside, could feel her, just as much as her scent was the strongest there. Probably could have heard her too, if he wanted to listen close. Raising his hand, he knocked loudly against the door, knowing she wasn’t going to just open it. “Lena, let me in.” A second knock followed just a few seconds later. He didn’t hear anyone else; which meant her roommate wasn’t in. She’d only mentioned him in passing; some guy named Roy. Why did it make him jealous? Tyler refused to dive into that question; he had always had a short fuse…it was a little bit better now after everything he had gone through, but not drastically so. Elena was going to do whatever she wanted. She had made that much clear from the get go. But he also knew she tolerated him a lot better than she let on; maybe it was arrogance, but Tyler was pretty certain that if she was going to have to be stuck with someone from Mystic Falls right then, he was going to be her number one choice.

"Hm. Let me think about it." A finger came up and tentatively touched her lips in feigned deep thought. It was actually a major no brainer in her opinion. "Uh, duh. I think it's the obvious perfect choice." She'd been a best friend to Caroline once upon a time and before the switch was flipped, Elena had been starting to rekindle that relationship again, something they had from their childhood before boys and popularity took it away. If Tyler wanted to hurt the blond, Elena was a perfect choice. It'd just reinforce her underlying belief that all guys wanted Elena and none wanted her. It was total bullshit. She had the king of all douches drooling at her doorstep and his former hybrid minion as an actual boyfriend. Granted, Elena didn't really want Klaus drooling at her doorstep and well, Tyler was, well, Tyler and she was determined to keep it that way even if everything else kind of screamed at her otherwise.

Elena stepped back towards the door, steps hurried, but no less precise. She was going to run, there was no doubt about it. "I doubt you know how to do anything, but play rough, Lockwood," she retorted smoothly. "Unless, well, Caroline probably leashed you up a long time ago, didn't she? 'Sweetly' is all you got left." He wasn't the same major asshole he'd been when junior year started and while a lot of it might have been being a werewolf, a lot of it was Caroline Forbes too. Having a steady girlfriend, someone who loved him and wasn't just obsessed like Vicki, made a big difference. Even after he became a hybrid, one of Klaus's bitches for a good portion of time, he'd still been in love with Caroline, enough to go off into the mountains and break every bone in his body numerous times transitioning into a beast. It was admirable even if the beast inside didn't get to play much.

He pulled his shirt over his head and tossed it down in the splinters from the door and the remnants of the chair she'd used as a weak enforcement earlier. If Elena had her emotions back on, an impressed expression might have been easily displayed on her face. Instead, she laughed. "Look at you. Nice try, but your sex appeal is pointless right now." Braver and bravado got the best of her and she stepped forward, closing the gap between them, a hand coming up and touching his chest. The heat came off him in waves. Elena leaned in and pressed her cold lips to his ear. "Don't you wish I would have ripped it off you instead?" Before he could even react, breathe, she pressed her lips to his in a brief, but rather powerful kiss. "Catch me if you can, Lockwood." Another laugh and playful grin and she was gone, turning and blurring out the balcony door, over the railing and to the street, landing easily without a scratch. Elena took off down the street.

"You've got no idea what I have left," being defiant was in his nature and it was even more so when someone like Elena was trying to call him out on it. There was no point in pretending that his life hadn't been one big mess...for a long time. But that was an apt description for most of Mystic Falls residents now, wasn't it? Something else that Klaus could be thanked for. "There's no leash. I can do anything that I want." It was those digs that bothered him the most; Tyler didn't want to be the person he had been before...selfish, completely arrogant, nothing mattered unless it was able to benefit him somehow. There had been freedom in that, though. Those animal instincts were even harder to deny now than before. Elena Gilbert brought them out in hm; her attitude, the way she looked at him, the inflection of her voice...everything about it just got to him. Created thoughts in his head that he didn't know how to deal with. Wanting to completely dominate her so that she would never so much as raise a question again.

When she closed the distance between the two of them, Tyler didn't know what to think, or what she had planned. His arms stayed down at his sides but he visibly tensed; was it all going to start right then? Maybe part of him wanted it to. The tension was thick in the air; she might not feel it, or ignore it completely...he knew it was there, though. Even her scent had changed ever so slightly; no one else would have picked up on it. Her hand came to rest on his chest; cool, a sharp contrast to how much heat was radiating off his skin. His head tilted to glance down at what she was doing. A bad move on his part; it made it even easier for Elena to whisper in his ear. He wanted to tell her yes; that it was exactly what he wanted. That he would rather grab her and tear her clothes off instead. Tyler didn't though; he breathed out unsteady, it was obvious everything inside of him was fighting having an even more obvious reaction. Then she kissed him; their lips only pressed together for the briefest of seconds, but there had been power behind it. Enough to make the sensation linger. To get just a little taste of her. And then she was gone; disappearing over the balcony, out onto the city streets below.

Catch her if he could? Tyler relished in the challenge; the wolf inside of him wanted to be able to stalk her, track Elena's every movement, corner her until she had no where else to go...no way to get away from him. Closing his eyes, he breathed in deeply, taking in Elena's scent, committing it to memory. No, she wasn't going to get away from him. There wasn't a place in Los Angeles where he wouldn't find her. Displaying the same kind of speed, Tyler vaulted over the railing of the balcony and landed heavily on the street outside. She was going to get him arrested; a half naked man chasing her, looking wild and feral...what did he care? They weren't going to catch him, either. Muscles rippled as he sprung forward, dark eyes alert, looking for any sign of her. "Lena..." His voice was low; almost a growl...he didn't have to speak loud in order for her to hear him. If she was hiding somewhere, he knew the word was still going to reach her. "You think I'm going to give up...I'm not. You picked the wrong person. I'm a wolf...I want the chase." Even if he considered himself the predator, it didn't mean Tyler had every advantage. His heart was pounding in his chest; beating wildly...the sound enough to give him away to any vampire. Droplets of sweat still slid down his broad back.

Though Elena was already three blocks away, her sensitive hearing picked up the sound of her own name, a mere growl on the wind. Knowing the danger, Elena still smirked to herself in the darkness. It was amazing how a few choice words could be the strongest, most potent weapons of all. Especially when they were applied to someone with such a short, vulnerable and obvious fuse. Tyler's temper was well known throughout Mystic Falls, along with his cockiness, overconfidence, and being a dick. He didn't hide it or keep it in check much until Caroline had taken a more permanent spot in his life. The temper was still prominent though and with no humanity to stop her, to engage the conscience, Elena had no reason to stop either.

"Come and get me, Lockwood. Come and get me," she whispered back to him. Much like her, his hearing was enhanced and no matter how light she'd said the words, the challenge, Tyler could hear it. He wouldn't back down now. Like he said, he was a wolf and much like the predator buried within him, he was keen and up for the chase. Elena was a predator too, but in the realm of supernatural killers, she was definitely on the bottom compared to Tyler. Tyler was Klaus's first hybrid and had the combination of both a wolf and a vampire running through him. However, Tyler was a wolf first and that part was always the most strong and most powerful. Him hunting her down was only going along with that line of thought and nothing else.

She waited a pace, a moment more, and then she took off. The streets were vacant, empty of most, if not all people. Elena could run and keep running without stopping. A blur. He might have had all the strength, but Elena could hear his heart beat and she could tell when he was getting too close. The only problem? There were other humans, other living things with heart beats and she couldn't really distinguish between the sets all around her. The best chance she had was that Tyler's was a bit more strong, louder, no matter where he was in the city. It had to be the wolf in him, but even then, Elena had to stop and listen carefully to distinguish it. It put her behind and made her more vulnerable. In the end, she just kept running. If she stopped, he would catch her. He was faster, a bit older, and a lot stronger. In catching her, Tyler would make her pay for all the little remarks and while she had a mixture of curiosity and fear, though she tried to squelch both, Elena didn't want to get caught. At least, not easily.
