The Secret Diaries of Cassie Blake

Disclaimer: we own nothing

Chapter 1

Cassie sighed in frustration as she stared at the stars on the ceiling of her new room. She just got to Chance Harbor a few hours ago and now she was waiting for her first day of school tomorrow. When her mother died in the fire, her grandmother became her legal guardian. The problem is she would rather be with Klaus.

Cassie was in deep thought as she remembered the day her life changed forever. She was thirteen years old and she just got out of a party. Then this teenage of a jerk saw her alone and decided to have some "fun" with her. She got really scared and when he had her pinned down Cassie felt something stir inside her and the next thing she knows the guy who attack her was laying in the floor with his neck snapped.

Cassie didn't know what happened but somehow she knew she had killed him and started freaking out. A few moments later, a cop saw her and ordered her to come with him to the station for questioning. And then, like an answer to prayers, a gorgeous man showed up and somehow convinced the policeman to leave her alone.

"What's your name?" The man had said.

Cassie was about to reply but before she could, she started to gasp uncontrollably and her eyes turned yellow all of the sudden. Back then, she didn't know who was more surprised, him or her but she remembered the interest that gleam in his eyes.

He took her home and promised to meet her the next day to explain things to her but he did tell her not to mention anything that happen that night to anyone. Cassie readily agreed and, true to his word, he met her the next day to give her some answers.

At first, Cassie was shocked when he told her that not only vampires were real but that he was the most powerful one. But when he told her SHE was a werewolf and a witch Cassie was downright stunned.

While she was speechless, the Original vampire, who introduced himself as Klaus, explain to her that the werewolf gene is passed through the bloodline but that in order to activate the curse the person had to kill someone and that was what Cassie did the night before. He also told her that she is a witch, and that he suspected her powers were activated instinctively when she faced danger as she snapped the neck of that guy without touching him.

When Cassie asked her how she could be a witch and a werewolf, Klaus asked her what the last names of her parents were. When she told him her mom's name was Blake, Klaus replied impressed that the Blake family is one of the oldest and most powerful magical bloodlines. But when Cassie explained to her she never knew who her father was or even his name Klaus suspected he must be the werewolf.

Then he offered her training with some witches that were on his side to help her develop her powers and Cassie happily agreed. Every summer and most weekends, she would go to this club where she would meet a witch named Greta that was very loyal to Klaus. Then they would practice different spells and branches of magic to their heart content. She became a really good friend of Greta and she in turn was fascinated with Cassie because she had never heard of a hybrid of the sort Cassie was. So, they began experimenting with magic to see if Cassie could control her actions during the transformation and to find out if she could shift at will. It took them a couple years but in the first full moon after Cassie turned fifteen they perfection the spell and she succeeded in reverting back to her human form with the moon still in the night sky. Then it was only matter of concentration until the next day she turned during daylight and had perfect control of her actions.

Sometimes Cassie felt bad for never telling her mom of her little secret but she was loyal to Klaus after he opened the doors to the supernatural world to her and to be fair, her mom was keeping things from her as well. But after the fire killed her, she felt like trash for never telling her. Moreover, she felt awful because she also felt like she had a weight lifted from her shoulders. She felt bad for feeling like her mom was holding her back but that was what she really felt. She felt free and she wanted to go with Klaus and see the world with him but he told her the timing wasn't right.

"Wait a couple years more," He had told her. "When you turn eighteen and be of legal age you can disappear with me."

"Promise?" Cassie had asked him.

"Of course, my moon princess," Klaus said with a charming smirk.

Cassie stopped reminiscing when she heard her cellphone ring. She looked at the picture being sent and smiled. Klaus draw a painting of herself petting a dog under the moonlight. He is such a sweet and ironic Hybrid.

With a tired sigh, she looked at the stars above one last time and fell asleep.
