Matt hated Enzo with every fibre of his being, he was psychotic, a lunatic and nothing more than a murderer. It was like he was a British version of the original vampire Klaus Mikaelson. Right now Matt would rather deal with Klaus than Enzo. At least Klaus was open about what he was and what he was going to do to you, but Enzo was a sneaky son of a bitch and you never could work out what he was up to. Matt hated him. First he killed Monique who was pretending to be Sarah Salvatore to gain a family. Now here he was doing something that involved Matt and an innocent girl.
Leaning against a tree watching Sarah from a distance gazing at her as she walked around the university grounds taking pictures of leaves on the ground, the small lake. How could she be a descendant from the Salvatore blood line? Did she even know that she had any family alive, well alive in the technical sense that they were vampires. What Matt didn't understand was why Enzo had a growing interest in this girl and what the main reason was for wanting to hurt Stefan.
He caught a glimpse of Sarah talking to some friends as Matt gazed around him, he wanted to get out of here. Turning around briskly he sighed when Enzo appeared in front of him "You following me?" he asked angered by the mere presence of Enzo, especially so close to all the innocent humans that he could murder.
Did Enzo trust Matt? Of course not however the man seemed motivated by the thought of his dearest friends and family being harmed. No one seemed to see connects and relationships for what they truly were, weaknesses. For the briefest of moments he'd considered breaking his own rules and though of Caroline as holding the potential to be more than just an acquaintance and then that was all shattered. Funny how one person seemed to be the cause and bane of everything bad that had happened to him since Damon had freed him from Whitmore.
While Matt watched Sarah, Enzo watched Matt. It wasn't hard to tell the hatred the other man had for him but it seemed to be for all vampires and wasn't exclusive to just him. Though currently that rage was focused on him for holding things over the other man's head and causing him to go against his sensitive morals. Sarah was nothing to Matt and yet he cared, it was a strange concept for Enzo.
As Matt turned to move away from where he was watching Sarah Enzo moved toward him with vamp speed. At this point the human really ought to be used to it. "Well I asked you to follow her and now I'm just making sure you follow through Matt. But I think the time for brooding, silent stalking is over."
It was obvious that Matt wasn't too happy about what he was being told. "Come on you used to be a quarterback and even got an Original vampire to fall for you. Time to put that charm to use." He turned to go before looking back towards Matt. "Oh and I'm sure you already know this, but this isn't a request mate."

Matt had never wanted to stake a vampire so much in his entire life. Enzo had threatened to harm his mom and all those who he cared about. That was the main reason why Matt was even at Duke university, and also because he knew what Enzo was capable of. Matt had heard the story of what Enzo did to Stefan, making Stefan kill him so that Damon would hate his brother. So Matt knew that he had to act with caution around him, but still that did not sate the hatred that Matt had for Enzo.
"What do you even want with her any way?" Matt asked with curiosity, even though he knew that Enzo would never really tell him his plan. But still Matt had to at least try and work it out. Matt knew it was pointless in even trying but Sarah was human and he assured that she knew nothing of the supernatural and knew Stefan wanted to keep it that way.
Matt grunted when Enzo spoke of Rebekah but chose to keep his comments to himself. He actually wished that Rebekah was here right now. He would have taken the pleasure in watching Rebekah tear Enzo's heart out and part of him even contemplated calling her, but he decided against it.
"So then what? What are you going to do to her? She's an innocent!" he barked at Enzo
There was such spirit and fury behind those blue eyes that seemed to captivate women around Mystic Falls. However now they weren't in Mystic Falls and though Matt hated him and wanted to be anywhere but here he knew the man would do what he was told. How did Enzo know that? Because unlike him Matt actually have the capacity to care for others and wanted to be the good guy. Enzo would give the man credit he was brave for a human though not very bright.
"Stefan would like to think he's doing Damon a favor by keeping her a secret and alive but Stefan rarely does anything for anyone other than himself. As so what I want with her, I've already told you Matt and that's all I intend to tell." He knew that Matt was going over every way he might be able to save this girl in his head. Trying to figure out what he was up to so he could find a loophole or get Elena or some other self-righteous vampire involved.
Ah now there was something. Never had he actually expected to get a response from Matt in regards to the Original Barbie but now he just couldn't help himself. "Though Rebekah was probably easy compared to Sarah. Pretty little blonde always looking for someone to love her. Give her the smallest bit of attention and she follows you like a puppy. I mean she did sleep her way through Mystic Falls before she got to you didn't she?" To insult an Original was a relatively stupid idea but given they called New Orleans their home and not a peep had been heard from them anywhere near Mystic Falls he was sure it was safe.
"An innocent?" He couldn't help but chuckle his lip curling into a partial smirk. "No one is innocent Matt not even those that pretend to be. Now I believe it's time for you to stop asking questions since you may need your tongue if you intend to charm someone with words."

Matt could feel his hands clenching together in tight fists by his sides, the vein throbbing at the side of his head. Matt despised Enzo, part of him even scared of him although he wouldn't admit that but he had a hunch that Enzo knew.
"So you want to make Damon hate his brother for keeping secrets from him? Is that you're big plan? Stefan forgave Damon for Elena falling for his brother, do you really think that this will make them hate each other" he countered interrupting Enzo mid conversation.
But what angered Matt more was the way that he spoke of Rebekah "She is nothing like that!" he hissed "But go on say what you like about her. One call is all it would take for her to come back and snap your neck, maybe even tear your heart out" he smirked smugly hoping to keep Enzo's attention away from Sarah as he brief glanced over his shoulder to see her still taking pictures.
Matt stuffed his hands into his pant pockets shifting his weight between his legs "And what if I say no? What are you going to do?" he asked keeping Enzo's attention on him.
Enzo watched as the muscles in Matt's arm flexed as he clenched his fists by his side. He wanted Matt to get angry it was far more fun this way. The man thought on a small scale where as Enzo's plans were far bigger. Whether Matt was scared or angry really didn't matter since there was no other choice the man had other than to help.
Looking at Matt as he began to speak he was only half listening at he looked past the man towards Sarah. "Oh Matt, you mistake tolerance for forgiveness. Damon only pretends to forgive until it all builds up. And you think so simply human. My plans far surpass that but they aren't for you to know." Apparently villains in shows these days spoke of their plans to those that might stop them but Enzo wasn't that sort.
Ah he'd struck a nerve with the blonde original. Strange how Donovan could have such hate for vampires and such puppy love for the Original blonde. "Oh Matt one call is all it would take to stir up old memories. You seem to forget she's been around far longer than you. Spent a good deal of time in England right around the time I turned. She was pathetic then too." He wasn't afraid of a call that Matt might make given that he was sure the lot of Originals had enough to worry about in their war for New Orleans or whatever. "But I'm sure you had good times and it felt...special."
Maybe now wasn't the time to get Matt all pissed off given that he needed the man to be charming and charismatic but sometimes he just didn't know when to stop himself. "Well mate if you say no I'll just start killing people on campus starting with the first person that looks at me. I'm a bit peckish after all." A sinister smirk spread across his face. "I'd say I'll start with her roommate but oops I already did."

Matt wanted to keep Enzo distracted enough so that he could by Sarah some time to get out of the way, but the small glances over his shoulder made him realize that she wasn't going anywhere soon. She seemed to preoccupied in taking photo's of a tree bark. But what did get his attention was the way that he continued to mention Rebekah. He couldn't imagine that Rebekah would ever go near him, although somewhere deep in the back of his mind he had an inkling that there was a strong possibility.
How could Damon be friends with Enzo? Why was he still even alive? Matt was surprised that no one had tried to kill Enzo...again. All he had cared about was using Bonnie to come from the other side, he didn't care about who he was hurting in the process. All Enzo cared about was himself and now Enzo was using whatever he could to make sure that his presence was known.
"You know what?" he paused and took a step closer towards Enzo, not really caring that he was just a human and Enzo could kill him in seconds "I will never understand why Caroline tried to be your friend. All she did was help you and then you try to ruin everything around her" he hissed directly at him.
But knowing that Enzo had already killed an innocent girl, Sarah's room-mate. Matt knew that he was left with no choice "What do I have to do?" he asked defeated.
It was almost endearing the way Matt was trying to protect a girl he didn't even know, a girl Matt perceived as innocent. Innocence was something he didn't believe in, no one was innocent their guilt just hadn't been proven yet. Everyone was in deed guilt of something, everyone had a sin or two to hide. Despite Matt trying to distract him Sarah wasn't going anywhere and Enzo wasn't soon to forget his reasoning for being here.
Of course he knew Damon was the only reason he was alive, the two had a bond that no other would share because when you face hell you don't forget those that helped you through. The conversations of revenge and longing for freedom which he finally had. After returning to life the only reason he'd stuck around was to try and get Damon and Bonnie back. One of the two was returned and it seemed doubtful Bonnie would ever come back. A noble sacrifice if there ever was one.
Now he had no reason for sticking around and helping those in Mystic Falls. Sure he'd stayed for Caroline since she seemed to sad and broken and trying to fix him seemed to give her a reason to continue on. Of course he wasn't broken and didn't want to be fixed, he was comfortable with what he was and how he was there was no point in playing human as others seemed to do.
Snarling at Matt he reached out and grabbed him by the throat. "Caroline wanted to turn me into one of the Mystic Falls vampires that thinks they're too good for feeding from humans. I am a vampire and I know what I am and have no reason to befriend those that wish to try and kill me." Releasing Matt he looked back over to Sarah who was still caught up in the pictures she was taking.
"I don't try to ruin anything around Caroline. I simply wish for Stefan to pay and for those around him to see what he truly is. Now as for Sarah become her friend, be nice and charismatic. You know the opposite of the way you are around me mate." Matt had no idea what he was helping with, he didn't simply want to kill Sarah there would be no fun in that his plans were far worse than that.

Matt felt the air trap in his lungs as Enzo's hand wrapped around his throat, he could feel his skin warming and was starting to become light headed. He could barely make out whatever Enzo was saying as he struggled to force himself to remain awake. Feeling a rush of fresh air fill his lungs as he gulped when Enzo had let him go as he stumbled back a few steps.
Rubbing his throat feeling the sting around his neck. He turned around to see Sarah packing her things up into a bag. Turning back to face the monster who was standing before him, hatred seething from his eyes with a glint of evil that consumed him. Matt just wanted this over with and if that meant going along with Enzo, then he was left with no choice.
His friends were in danger and that left Matt with one option and that was to do whatever Enzo threatened and commanded him to do. Continuing to rub his neck forcing more air into his lungs he glared at him "If I do this...You leave my friends alone" he added knowing that Matt couldn't do anything to really stop him "You leave my friends and my mom alone Enzo" he instructed the animal in front of him.
Matt hated that he was having to do this but again he had no choice. Not even giving Enzo the chance to speak he turned his back to him and made his way over to Sarah.
The physical fight seemed to leave Matt and he fought for air. The man was under the impression that because Enzo was using him that he actually needed him and the truth was Matt was as expendable as little human who'd pretended to be Sarah. You killed one human and there was always a thousand more and he could just compel someone on campus to help him. Matt seemed to forget that but Enzo had no problem reminding him.
He and Matt both looked over towards Sarah who had apparently captured the shots she wanted to out here. She was getting ready to leave which meant Matt had better work fast because in all honesty Enzo really was starving and there was a campus full of fresh meat. For the time being he'd just feed and leave them alive but only because he didn't need hunters crawling all over Duke.
As Matt began to speak Enzo's eyes momentarily moved towards him before he rolled them in annoyance. "I don't make promises Matt but if you're a good boy I'm sure I could be persuaded to leave everyone the way I found them." He had no intention of leaving Matt's friends alone they were all far too much fun to play with but he could leave his family alone since that portion of Matt's life was rather dull.
"I'll leave your Mum alone Matt but only because her life seemed pathetic enough. It's sad really, however did you survive up until this point in life?" Shrugging his shoulders he watched as Matt turned his back on him and moved towards Sarah. "Good boy." He muttered under his breath.
