Matt Donovan thanked the waitress who brought him his third cup of coffee as he sat at the table that Stefan and Sarah had been sat in earlier before they had both left together. Matt was curious to know what they had to talk and why they couldn't have done it here where Matt could keep an eye on her.
He didn't exactly trust Stefan or well any vampires other than Elena and Caroline and he especially didn't trust Enzo. A friend of Damon Salvatore's if you could call him that.
He was more likely a murdering buddy, Matt disliked him and he didn't care who knew it. Enzo had killed innocent people like Ivy and Tripp Fell. Turned Tripp into a vampire before they were able to save him and now Matt would have to live with that guilt for the rest of his life. If it wasn't for the fact that Caroline wanted to keep Enzo alive Matt would have killed him.
But Tripp wanted Enzo kept alive so that he could reveal all the vampires in the area. But still it did not quell the hatred that he had for Enzo. Sipping slowly on the steaming hot liquid from his mug, he glanced briefly at his watch and then to his phone. Sarah had promised to call him later, but he didn't trust that Stefan would allow her.
But Sarah had wanted to go willingly with Stefan, hearing the chair in front of him screech on the floor he saw Enzo slide into the seat in front of him "Haven't you got anything better to do?" he grumbled.
Ordering shakes to have the machine turned on so he couldn't hear the conversation between Sarah and Stefan had been a smart move but not truly smart enough. Something was very off about the little human along with the way Stefan was treating her given that she was supposed to be family. Family, now that was something Stefan didn't deserve since he couldn't seem to figure out how to treat them or fight for them.
When the dynamic duo had left to talk in private he knew something was wrong and not just that he was here. Stefan was hiding something and he had every intention of finding out what but for now he was in a rather playful mood and still a little raw over finding out Caroline truly cared for. There was another person he could think of to take that out on though, someone who had her and let her go which was more than he would ever have.
Seeing Matt sitting at a table and sipping coffee with a slight scowl on his face Enzo had made up his mind. He knew that Matt hated him for killing one of the hunters in the woods, of his town patrol buddies or whatever. Though given the man had been trying to kill him he felt justified in his actions. Was everyone from Mystic Falls really this self-righteous? Matt, Stefan, Elena and even Caroline all shared that characteristic.
For some unknown reason Tripp Fell's death seemed to affect Matt more than the others. He hadn't done anything to Tripp that the man hadn't done to him, well besides killing him but Tripp had given it his best effort. The man wanted to know of all the vampire's in the area so by killing him Enzo had done them all a favor, that and it oddly been what Stefan had asked of him and yet he was the one being crucified for the action.
Pulling out the chair from the opposite side of Matt's table he turned it around and straddled the back as he looked at Matt. "Anything better to do? Well my plan to ruin Stefan's life is still going right on track so no at the moment I haven't anything else to do. I mean I could help in that annoying hunt for Bonnie but I got who I wanted back...sort of." Matt's gaze was so full of hate and yet Enzo found it amusing.

Matt sipped again on his coffee before returning the cup back onto the table and glared at Enzo "So you thought you would stick around here and annoy me?" he arched his brow as he chuckled.
Matt hated Enzo and he didn't care who knew about it, he had told Caroline enough times that he didn't deserve her kindness. But Caroline saw something in him that apparently no one else could and clearly so. All Matt could see in him was a murderous psychotic monster who needed to die.
But even Matt wasn't that stupid to take on Enzo, he wasn't strong enough. He had even considered asking Jeremy to help him but he was getting his life back together now and he didn't want Enzo ruining it.
"So this plan to ruin Stefan's life, does Damon know about that? Cause I'm pretty sure that he would kill you if he did. Planning on killing his brother?" he smirked sarcastically at the British vampire in front of him.
Why couldn't everyone else see that Enzo being here was going to cause everyone a problem, that his solution to everything was to kill them. Innocent people died when he was around, Tripp was trying to protect the people of Mystic Falls and Enzo murdered him for doing that. Matt had to bury Tripp in an unmarked grave because there would be too many questions about his death that Matt could not answer.
"So why are you even here? I mean you are alive, so why stay? Surely there is plenty of other little towns that you could go and destroy" he grumbled at him.
Matt just wanted Enzo to leave town and to never come back. Then maybe life would start getting back to normal, or whatever normal was before vampires came to town.
Matt was rather confident for a human given that he could snap his neck right there and now and compel everyone to forget. Though there was the problem with Stefan having seen him here and Caroline probably wouldn't be too happy with him if he killed her high school sweetheart but he really didn't care anymore. Changing who you truly were for a girl was stupid and Damon was just finally beginning to figure that one out. Was Enzo a bad person? Potentially but he did the things that everyone else was afraid to do and he could live with himself afterward not having to block it from his mind or pretend to be someone or something else.
"Well Matt there really isn't much to do in the outskirts of this town so I'll take entertainment where I could find it. You know now that Tripp's no longer alive to play with." He smirked seeing the hatred grow in Matt's eyes. He, Damon and Stefan had nearly died and Ric had died as a vampire and Jo had brought him back to be a human and yet Matt didn't think that Tripp should have died, what a naive way of thought.
Matt would never understand where he was coming from, where he'd been or what he'd seen in alive so he just saw everything through a small town way of thinking. Tripp was dead and Matt's friends were saved, Enzo called that a win and yet none considered him a hero was a pity. Though as he'd told Damon, vampires like them would always be the villains no matter the good they did.
"Never said I plan to kill him mate just tear apart everything he ever cared about. Damon's not exactly in the caring mood as of late given he's rather focused on bringing Bonnie back so Elena will love him again. You seem to forget Stefan gave up on Damon, he knows that he knows that I don't forgive and forget." The fact that Matt thought he should be sacred or worried about what Damon thought only solidified that the man was an idiot. He'd been alive long enough not to care what others thought, not even his friends. Given how much Damon had caused Stefan to suffer over the centuries he didn't know why Matt thought Damon would care.
When Matt asked why he was still here Enzo couldn't help but smirk, "Isn't it obvious mate? I promised Stefan a life time of misery until Damon was returned. However Stefan gave me up to a hunter hopping I'd be killed so the rules have changed." He had been willing to allow the vendetta to end when Damon came back Stefan had to go and do something stupid and if he hadn't been for Damon Stefan would have left him in Mystic Falls to die.
Leaning across the table he smirked, "I will destroy every bit of happiness Stefan ever finds and kill everyone he ever loves or cares for. You look at me like I'm a monster but do you truly believe Stefan wouldn't do the same? I make no qualms about what I am but Stefan hides behind the mask of a man knowing he could lose control at anytime and yet it's me you hate."
The smirk on his face grew, "Do you know what Stefan's last words to me where before we found out that Tripp's people had Caroline's Mum? He said get rid of so he'll never be a problem again. So before you go throwing stones maybe you should look at the people you trust." He leaned back resting his hands on the back of the chair and resting his chin on top of them.

Matt listened to what Enzo had to say about everything that he had asked him and he could not help but feel his fists tighten together under the table. Sure he could reach out and punch him, but what good would that do? Absolutely nothing. Enzo could kill him without even blinking and there would be no witnesses to see his death.
He would just be another dead body buried in an unmarked grave out in the woods. He knew that he was just a human and couldn't take on any vampire, no matter how many weapons he used. The only protection Matt had right now was the barrier that surrounded Mystic Falls.
Trying to keep his raging anger inside of him in case he did or said something that would result in him with a broken neck. He sank back into his chair as his fingers drummed along the edge of the table, his head tilted to the side as he tried to ignore Enzo, but that ridiculous British accent made it impossible to ignore.
"I don't trust Stefan or Damon" he paused "In fact if it wasn't for them then people would still be alive. Bonnie's grams, my sister, Jenna and Caroline, Elena and Abby wouldn't be vampires. It's because of them that everyone that I love and care about are either dead or vampires" he snarled at Enzo "So you think what you want about me. Think I am a pushover because maybe your right, I am" he leaned in a little closer to Enzo "But never underestimate me because when it comes down to my friends over Stefan and Damon...I know who I'll choose" he added.
Sitting back up right in his chair as his eyes darted around the diner as he could already feel the waitress eyes on them both but ignored it and faced Enzo once again "So you do what you want with Stefan, hell I couldn't care less if you killed him. But I wouldn't wanna be you if Damon finds out" he smirked sarcastically at the vampire in front of him.
Matt tried to see what Caroline saw in him, but still he was coming up with nothing. Matt hated even more now and especially since he made a promise to kill everyone that Stefan cared about and that included everyone that Matt cared about.
It was fun to watch the rage building inside of Matt, both of them knowing the human couldn't do anything about it lest he end up dead. It really would be a pity to kill one of Caroline's friends but he wasn't above it that was for sure. Maybe Cape Horn was nice this time of years since he knew that if he did kill Matt he'd probably best get the hell out of any area Caroline was close to.
Matt seemed to slump against the back of his chair in defeat as his fingers thumped out a pattern against the table top. Even with sensitive hearing it was easy to ignore the sound given you had to learn to focus or be overwhelmed by all the sights, sounds and smells around you. A large part of him want to bail Matt into attacking him or acting out just so he had a reason to kill him but a dead Matt would mean a sad Elena and Damon went stupid when Elena was sad and would likely try to kill him and he didn't want to have to kill his best friend since he'd just gotten him back.
It wasn't a surprise that Matt didn't trust Damon but hearing him say he didn't trust Stefan cause his brow to rise slightly. "Well I guess Stefan did sort of steal your girlfriend back in the day huh?" He wouldn't trust a man after that. Of course he just knew all this stuff because Caroline loved to talk which meant he'd heard far more gossip than he had ever wanted to on their travels to find Stefan.
The other thing he hadn't expected was such intensity from Matt as he spoke of all those he'd lost due to Stefan, Damon and himself. Though really he'd only killed two people Matt knew given that no one besides Caroline had really known Ivy and even that hadn't been for very long. Stefan and Damon seemed to only stay out of the realm of hate due to helping the Mystic Falls Scooby Gang with their problems.
Most of the people Matt spoke of he had never known so it was kind like, well that sucks for you. "Funny mate I though Stefan and Damon were your friends? Do they know about these vengeful feelings you have? Probably not." He knew that the only reason Matt tried to hide those feels was for Elena and Caroline's sack but the only person who cared for him was..well he wasn't even sure it was Caroline really.
"You'd probably rather I killed Stefan it would save you the trouble and hatred of the two girls you like the most." He smirked since they both knew it was true but you couldn't torture someone if they were dead and Stefan deserved to suffer.
Looking at the clock behind the counter at the diner he took into account how long they'd been here. "You know that if your friend is lying to Stefan about who she is he'll just kill her right? And yet you left him alone with her." He tisked at Matt, "She's probably dead right now." He was curious to see how fast Matt would leap into action because what ever was going on between Stefan and Sarah didn't seem to be what they thought.

Matt couldn't and didn't care less about Enzo and what he thought about him. But once thing was clear they both certainly clear that they both disliked Stefan, Damon was debatable when it came to Enzo. It was Damon who had turned Caroline into his blood supply and almost killed her. It was because of Stefan and Damon that Katherine Pierce came to Mystic Falls and made their lives hell.
"Yeah, your right. He did steal Elena from me, but I got over that. Because no matter how I try to analyse it, she was better for her" he paused "Until he destroyed every part of her life" he snarled at Enzo.
Matt scoffed when Enzo mentioned about these feelings towards Damon and Stefan and chose not to say anything to him. He couldn't trust Enzo wouldn't say anything to Elena or Caroline about how he felt about the Salvatore brothers or vampires in general, so he kept his mouth shut.
"So this thing with Caroline, you got a thing for her?" he mocked "You know that she would never go for a guy like you right? I don't think psychotic killers are her thing" he smirked sarcastically mocking the vampire in front of him.
He didn't know if he knew about Caroline and Klaus, especially since Klaus were ten times worse than Enzo and had a tendency to kill anything that angered him or even just for the fun of it. At this point he would rather it be Klaus sitting in front of him that Enzo and that was saying something for the possibly only human left in this mess with vampires.
But when Enzo talked about Sarah and Stefan and the fact that if Sarah was lying about who she was then Stefan would kill her. Sarah couldn't have been lying because she had searched the whole Salvatore house and found the pictures. She was the daughter of Zack Salvatore. But knowing that Enzo could be right, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a few dollars and left them on the table.
Pushing himself to his feet as the chair screeched along the floor as Enzo remained in his seat "Are you coming or what?" Matt couldn't believe that he was asking for Enzo help, but his words rang in his ears about Stefan killing her if she was lying, it was better to have a vampire with him at least. Even if Matt hated the very sight of him.
Talk about holding all your feelings in. For Matt nothing good had come from all the vampires in Mystic Falls and yet he would still help them because of Caroline and Elena, now that was loyalty and he wondered if anyone every gave the human credit, probably not. After all no one had ever seemed to give Bonnie credit either before her dead and yet now they were all in a rush to get her back since they had partially caused her death. How many times had the witch died for them all? It was pathetic the ways these people treated their so called friends. Then again his best friend has left him in a burning building to die so it wasn't like he could say much on the issue.
When Matt said he was right he had to do a bit of a double take not believing the human had just agreed with him, well that was a change. Though as he continued to talk he caught on to the deep seeded hate that the man had been trying to hide for who knows how long, it was a wonder he hadn't exploded and killed all the vampires outside of Mystic Falls yet. It seemed Matt needed a outlet and that outlet just so happened to be him since few of his friends cared if Enzo ended up dead or not. "Yes well judgy and self-righteous seem to Stefan's only state of mind besides Ripper and he has a way with destroying everything he touches."
Which was true given everything he'd seen so far, everyone that trusted Stefan he let down or gave up on it was an unending cycle and yet people still cared and trusted him and treated like him a wounded animal. Matt was a time bomb and he had the feeling the human would burst at the most inopportune time.
Glowering at Matt as he mentioned his attraction to Caroline he hated the man for telling him what he already knew driving the knife deeper in a wound he was trying to ignore. "Oh by psychotic killers are her thing mate given that she's in love with a Ripper. I may be a murderous vampire but I'm far better than that." Apparently Caroline had a thing with men that needed saving and Stefan was her next project, far be it for him to stand in the way.
He watched his words about Stefan and Sarah sink into Matt's thick skull and though he seemed to fight with himself about it for a moment Enzo knew what side would win out. The distrust Matt held for Stefan ran deep even in no one else saw it and that was what made Matt dangerous. As Matt stood Enzo smirked knowing he'd won out on this round but his brow rose in question as Matt asked if he was coming.
Rolling his eyes he pushed himself up from the chair he was sitting on and stood looked at Matt. "By all means lets go save the day and by the heroes." Yeah right if anything Matt was likely to get himself killed but if Stefan killed him, well that would be fun to explain to Caroline.
