It had been a few years since Tyler's been back in Mystic Falls. After things ended so badly with Caroline, after being freed from Klaus, after somehow managing to graduate despite all the other crap he'd gone through he got the hell out and never looked back. Between the Lockwood money and his skills as a football player he had managed to get into a good college. He never came home. He only saw his mother when she came to visit him.

Until now.

His mother had fallen ill in recent years, and couldn't keep up with her role with the Founding Families. When she first asked him to consider taking her place, he had refused. But something relented in him when she asked him to at least come home and test it out. Which was why he was here now.

He had spent years trying to escape his past. His family. This town. And now he was back here. At a stupid event at his childhood home with far too many familiar faces around.

He so needed a drink.
