Thank you all so much for your reviews
Larisa's lungs ached for oxygen as she ran further into the forest. She could feel her heart racing, she was human again. Her legs ached as she pushed herself faster to follow the voice that called to her through the trees, the voice she'd long forgotten in her eight hundred years of being away from her.
''Help me Lara, help me'' her mother's voice rang through the trees behind her. Larisa suddenly whipped round and gasped. She was in the clearing her mother used to take her on the horse her father had bought her mother for her birthday. The sun shone down upon her heating up her skin, Larisa smiled and opened her arms wide as she closed her eyes and twirled, she'd missed the heat of the sun. She opened her eyes and froze on the spot as her eyes rested upon the figure standing infront of her
There in the middle of the clearing stood, her mother. Her blonde hair fells into ringlets along her shoulders and spread along her back like fire. Her blue eyes beamed as she saw Larisa standing there staring at her in shock and confusion. Her white dress flowed down to the middle of her thigh as Larisa noticed she was barefooted. But there was something different about her. Suddenly her screams filled the air as puncture wounds and deep lacerations appeared all over her body. Larisa jumped back in shock as her eyes widened at the sight of her mother. Her screams abruptly stopped before she collapsed onto the ground. Larisa cautiously made her way over towards her mother. She rolled her mother over so she was half lying on Larisa's lap. Her blue eyes were still slightly wide with fear as she looked up towards Larisa
''I'm sorry I was never there'' her mother sniffed as tears filled her eyes. Larisa pulled her mothers body closer to her own as she saw the werewolf venom seeping into her mothers blood stream. With the amount of bites she'd received it would take only a matter of minutes for the venom to reach her heart.
''Shh don't talk, your gonna be fine, dad will heal you I promise. Dad won't let you die'' Larisa said but as she looked around it dawned upon her, her dad was no where to be found. Her mother let out a breathy chuckle
''Your father and I aren't exactly on the best of terms anymore'' Kassandra grinned up towards her daughter. She felt herself slowly slipping away as her heart slowed down ''I'm so sorry sweetheart, I love you''
''No please no mom please, I beg you don't leave me'' Larisa sobbed as her mothers eyes shut eternally. ''Mom''
Larisa awoke with a jump as she felt herself being shaken awake. She looked up into the worried eyes of her Uncle Kol, tears filled her eyes as she sobbed lightly, she'd never had a dream like that about her mother so why now. Kol just held her tightly against him as she sobbed. Within a matter of minutes Klaus was standing at her door looking down at her in concern. Rebekah and Elijah followed him as they'd obviously heard Larisa's cries, Kol was in the bedroom across from her bedroom which is why he managed to get there so fast. Klaus walked forwards as Kol stood to allow Klaus to sit on the bed. The three of them walked off to leave Larisa and Klaus on their own. Klaus looked down at his daughter as she sniffed and dried her eyes quickly
''You wanna tell me about it?'' Klaus asked looking down at his daughter as she lay back against her pillows sighing. Larisa looked up at him, should she tell him or would he get angry if she told him? She decided to go with the latter and just shook her head slowly. Klaus smiled and sighed
''Well if you do every want to tell me, you know where I am. Try and get back to sleep honey, it's been a long day'' Klaus smiled leaning down and placing a gentle kiss upon her forehead. He stood and watched as she wrapped more of the covers around herself and turned on her side so her back was facing him. He smiled before walking towards the door. Larisa lay staring straight at the wall, why did she dream about that? Was it really her dream or were the Salvatores playing some sick twisted little game? But how would the Salvatores know what her mom looked like or how she spoke? And what was with the werewolf bites?
Klaus sighed as he made his way downstairs into the drawing room. He immediately walked over to the drinks cabinet and poured himself a whiskey. He'd been so petrified the moment he heard her scream as he thought the Salvatores were torturing her again. He decided to ignore the fact that it was mom she had screamed out as she awoke, but why would she be dreaming about her mother? He down the whiskey in one gulp before he stood looking down into the glass. His head hung low as he closed his eyes and exhaled softly
''You look tense sweetheart'' a familiar voice made his head snap upwards as his eyes opened instantly. He felt the glass slip through his fingers before it crashed to the floor breaking into tiny pieces. It couldn't be could it?
He spun round and gasped as there she stood. Her blonde hair slightly shorter than when he had seen it last but it still held the same curls that danced upon her shoulders as she took a step towards him. Her light sapphire eyes, darker than his own but lighter than Larisa's eyes. A smirk was placed on her cherry red lips as she looked towards him. She stood with her hands over her hips wearing a red tank top covered by a short black denim jacket with black boot cut jeans with black stilettos. If he was honest she looked just like Larisa did the night they had been reunited. He suddenly rushed towards her and pinned her against the wall, his hand clutching her throat tightly.
''Kassandra'' he hissed her name as thought it was a curse or poison in his mouth ''What the hell are you doing here?'' Klaus snarled, his face inches from hers. She smirked up at him as her eyes held a form of innocence that only she could pull off
''Now Niklaus, is that any way to treat your wife, a wife you haven't seen in over seven hundred years'' Kassandra grinned up in mock hurt. Klaus glared down at her trying to ignore the hand that had somehow slipped it's way up the front of his shirt as she drew circles with her index finger upon his lower abdomen
''It is for an evil bitch who left her husband and her four year old daughter to run off with another man'' Klaus snapped down at her. Her grin shrunk back to the smirk she'd had before
''Touché my sweet, touché'' she smirked as her other hand ran it's way up his chest to the back of his neck. She wound her fingers into his short dirty blond curls and forced his lips down onto hers. Their lips moved in sync as their tongues battled furiously for dominance. Klaus growled as he felt her hand go lower as she rubbed him thought his jeans. He quickly came back to his senses and tore his lips from hers. He grabbed her by the shoulders and pushed her harder against the wall denting it slightly before he thrust his hand into her chest causing her eyes to widen slightly as she felt his grip upon her heart tighten
''Come on now Niklaus, you wouldn't kill the mother of your child now would you'' She said trying hard to hide her fear but Klaus knew by the look in her eyes that she was terrified of him. Seven hundred year ago he would have recoiled in shame but now her fear made his eyes grow darker as he glared at her with an evil smirk upon his lips.
''Try me'' he growled next to her ear in a low warning tone just as the fear in her eyes grew more. ''Give me one good reason not to end your pathetic life right now Kassandra'' he spat towards her
''Because I'm already dying'' she looked up at him. He drew his hand back from her chest as he looked down at her confused. His shock and confusion masked his face
''How?'' he stuttered looking down at her. She winced as she shrugged off her jacket to reveal a werewolf bite on her left tricep. He ran his fingers gently over the bite earning a hiss from Kassandra as he saw the venom swimming underneath the surface of the skin.
''There's no cure, so I've came to say good bye to you and to Larisa'' she looking up towards him. His eyes darkened as he glared down towards her
''You little bitch, you know my blood is the cure for a werewolf bite and that's why you came and found me, don't you dare lie to me'' Klaus growled down towards her. She sighed in defeat, he'd caught her out
''Fine you caught me, now are you gonna help me out or not because this really hurts'' Kassandra glared up towards Klaus as he glared back down at her with just as much hatred as she had.
''I'll help you on one condition, you run far away from here and never return, you never tell Larisa you were here and you stay as far away from her as you can and that why she doesn't get hurt when you do a disappearing act on us again'' Klaus growled down at her. Kassandra clicked her tongue as she glared up towards her husband
''You see that's the problem Klaus, she's also my daughter which mean I can see her if I want to and when or if I die don't you think she'll be more angry if she found out that you could have helped me and you didn't just because you were too scared to admit that you still had feelings for me, that's what this is about isn't it Niklaus? You still love me and your still hurt that I ran off to be with Patrick'' She smirked up at him. Klaus' expression became unreadable as his eyes glared down at her. She smirked up towards him as she knew his silence proved she was right ''But if you help me then yes I'll keep my distance but I'm not disappearing entirely, she's still my daughter and I still care about her''
''Then why did you leave it up to us to save her earlier on tonight, it was you wasn't it, the anonymous person, the one who left the note and sent me the text'' he could tell by her smile that it was her.
''There was four vamps there plus a hybrid, I'd have been killed is I tried to go up against them on my own'' Kassandra snapped towards him. He grinned down at her
''Typical Kassandra, putting yourself before your daughter, go I've lost count of the times you've done that, so Katrina Petrova like'' Klaus grinned as he saw her teeth clench at the mention of the first doppelganger
''Don't you dare compare me to that wench Niklaus Mikaelson unless you want your manhood to remain attached to your body'' Kassandra snarled towards her husband. A gasp sounded at the door as they both turned to face Rebekah who stood with her eyes wide and her mouth ajar at the sight of her sister in law. Her eyes filled with fire as they shot daggers towards her
''What are you doing here, you greedy, selfish bitch'' Rebekah hissed as she rushed forward to tear Kassandra's heart out but luckily Klaus stopped her
''She was just leaving, I just need to give her a few drops of my blood as she's had a rather nasty bite'' Klaus said then Rebekah saw the bite wound on Kassandra's arm and winced slightly
''If she's not out of here in ten minutes then I will throw her out, bite or no bite'' Rebekah snapped before storming off into the kitchen. Klaus sighed in relief before turning round to Kassandra. He quickly blurred behind her and wrapping his left arm around her stomach, pulling her back against his chest slightly before he extended his right arm out to her.
''Go on love, drink up'' he whispered slowly into her ear. Her fangs erupted instantly and sunk into his flesh. He hissed in pain slightly as she began gulping down his blood. He glanced up and saw Elijah staring with wide eyes in the doorway. ''Alright that's enough sweetheart'' he snapped pulling his wrist away as he began to feel light headed. Kassandra noticed Elijah standing in the doorway and smiled up at her eldest brother in law
''Kassandra'' he nodded politely towards her.
''Elijah'' she did the same back before turning to Klaus. ''I should probably go before Rebekah tears my throat out or something. Look after her Nik, I mean it'' Kassandra warned looking up towards Klaus. Klaus snorted at how ridiculous she sounded. She was gone in an instant just as Larisa appeared in the doorway. She eyes scanned the room frantically
''Where is she?'' Larisa asked her eyes narrowing towards Klaus who stood confused as he stared back at the young teenager
''Who?'' Elijah asked from his spot beside his niece.
''My mother, and don't even bother lying to me I just heard Aunt Rebekah telling Uncle Kol she was here'' Larisa snarled towards Klaus as he went to say something but her comment cut him off.
''She just left'' Klaus said. Larisa looked a little hurt, She hadn't seen her mother in over three hundred years and she doesn't even stop to say a hello.
Larisa and Rebekah made their way into the school and straight over to their lockers as Kol was still outside talking to one of his new friends. Larisa groaned as she shoved her books into her locker. She noticed a piece of paper shoved at the very back of the locker. She plucked it out just as she felt a tap on her shoulder. She quickly put the note in her pocket before turning round to face Jason Whitelock she'd been talking to at the bonfire before the whole 'accident'. she smiled up at him and he immediately beamed back, his eyes lit up a little as he smiled at her
''You disappeared yesterday what happened?'' he asked casually leaning against the locker tow down from hers. Rebekah was too wrapped up in a conversation with another cheerleader to be interested in their conversation.
''Erm my uncle, he needed to talk to me about something and ordered me home right away, sorry'' she smiled sweetly tilting her head to the side in an cute manner. He chuckled down towards her and held up his hands
''No worries, but I was wondering wither or not you would join me for a drink tomorrow night at the grill?'' Jason asked looking slightly nervous as he asked the question. She looked up at him and smiled before nodding. ''Great so I'll pick you up around seven'' he smiled before walking off. Larisa grinned as she was nudged by Rebekah who sent her a smirk, it was obvious she'd just been looking interested in the other conversation when really she was interested in the one her niece was having. As Rebekah walked away Larisa pulled the piece of paper out of it.
I want to talk, meet me at the grill tonight after school.
I'll be waiting
Mom
X
Larisa felt her breath catch in her throat, her mom was in town and wanted to speak with her, but why?
Damon sat at the bar downing yet another glass of whiskey before putting his drink back onto the bar and signalling to the bat tender for more. It was moment like these that he really missed Alaric as now he just looked like a bored alcoholic sitting in alone at a bar, where as with Alaric they looked like friends having a drink together, they looked less pathetic. He spied a blonde woman sitting at the end of the bar smirking towards him. He grabbed his now full glass of whiskey and made his way over to sit beside her.
''You look lonely'' he said towards her. She chuckled softly
''You look drunk'' she shot back grinning towards the eldest Salvatore
''My name's Damon Salvatore'' he smirked holding out his hand. She grinned up at him but refused his hand as her blue yes stared into his
''I know who you are, my name's Kassandra Henderson, well technically right now it's still Mikaelson, haven't signed the divorce papers yet. And the reason I know who you are is because I heard you had a bit of a bad experience with my daughter yesterday'' she grinned as Damon looked around towards her, his eyes were as wide as they would go as his jaw looked as though it was about to hit the bar when it dropped
''You're Larisa's mother and Klaus' ex wife?'' Damon asked towards her in shock. She smirked over at him flicking her blonde curls over her shoulder lightly
''Technically me and Klaus are still married as neither of us have filed for divorce but know this'' she snarled before grabbing his leg and gripping it tightly shattered his fibula slightly ''If you r your brother ever hurt my little girl again, it won't just be Klaus you'll have to deal with, it'll be me as well and I only give out one warning'' Kassandra growled as Damon groaned in pain before she released his leg. 'No wonder Klaus married her' Damon thought as he felt his leg begin to mend itself
''So if you don't want anything to do with Klaus then why are you here?'' Damon asked looking at her slightly confused. She chuckled slightly before resting her eyes upon the elder Salvatore
''I didn't say I wanted nothing to do with him but I'm afraid we've grown apart. I heard you and your brother want Klaus dead and I can help you, plus I want my daughter back''
The moment the bell rang for the end of the school day Larisa felt as though she was going to be sick, what was she so nervous for, it was only her mother she was meeting.
Larisa told Rebekah she had to meet a friend at the grill and luckily Rebekah didn't ask many questions. Larisa walked the slowest she could mange the moment the grill was in her sight. Her hands were shaking slightly as she dug her nails into the palm of her hand to try to stop the shakes. She peered in the door and saw Damon sitting at the bar next to a blonde woman who she immediately recognised. Her mother.
She pulled the door open and stepped inside bravely. Damon looked towards her and pointed. Her mother turned round to face her. Larisa felt her heart jump, she was exactly what she was like in the dream. Her mother's eyes fell upon her face as she smiled towards Larisa. Larisa slowly but surely made their way over to them being careful to keep and eye on Damon's hands incase they decided to do another torture mission on her. Damon looked between the two blondes and saw right away that they were mother and daughter.
''Larisa'' Kassandra smiled towards her daughter as she stood infront of her
''Kassandra'' Larisa replied. Kassandra's jaw tightened as her eyes narrowed towards her daughter. ''What? You didn't actually think I would call you mom do you, you need to earn that title''
''You call Nik dad'' Kassandra pointed out
''Yeah because I view him as a parent where as you I just view as the cheap whore who ran out on me, do you know what this was stupid me coming here I'm out of here'' Larisa snapped but Kassandra grabbed her arm before she could take another step
''Lara, I want to make it right, please just hear me out'' Kassandra begged. Larisa closed her eyes as she sucked in a sharp breath. She turned round to face her mom and saw a slightly pleading look in her eyes. Larisa sighed
''Fine but I'm warning you one chance, let's go sit at a booth, no offence Damon'' Larisa sneered towards the elder Salvatore
''None taken sweetheart'' Damon grinned towards her, she gagged slightly before leading the way to one of the empty booths. Kassandra sat across from her.
''So I heard you spoke to my dad last night, fail to trap him under your spell this time?'' Larisa snapped towards her mother. Kassandra chuckled lightly earning a glare from her daughter
''Your dad doesn't care about me, never has, he just wanted to see if his hybrid gene would pass onto his child, he just used me because I was completely in love with him then after your birth, people found out then he had to stay with me, I'm just glad he did a good job on raising you even when I couldn't'' her mother sighed looking over at her
''You never even tried'' Larisa snarled towards her mother. Her mother looked down towards her and was about to argue back but couldn't as she knew Larisa was right. Larisa looked up as Elena and Caroline entered the grill. She glared at them as a low growl erupted in her throat. Kassandra looked confused then turned to see exactly what her daughter was growling at. Her eyes widened slightly as they fell upon the doppelganger
''Is that Katrina?'' Kassandra asked looking over at Elena. Larisa looked a little surprised, how did she know about Katherine?
''Nope that's Elena Gilbert, the doppelganger slash newbie vamp and the blonde beside her is Caroline Forbes, my dad's been obsessed with her'' Larisa said trying to keep her growl in hre throat as she spoke of Caroline, Kassandra's eyes scanned the blonde as she chuckled
''What is it with your father and blondes: first me, then Jennifer and now Caroline'' Kassandra chuckled. The second name took Larisa by surprise a she suddenly remembered the woman her father had a slight relationship with in the early 1400s
''That's Klaus' wife and Larisa's mother'' they both heard Damon say. They looked over to see Caroline and Elena staring at Kassandra who waved towards them chuckling.
''You can see the resemblance both have bitch written across their forehead'' Caroline snapped under her breath but Larisa and Kassandra were still able to pick it up due to vampire hearing. Kassandra grinned over towards the blonde
''Colour green is not good on you sweetie, don't worry you can have my husband the moment my divorce papers are through'' Kassandra shouted looking over at Caroline. The whole of the grill heard her and looked over at Caroline in shock causing Larisa to snigger in laughter at the shocked and embarrassed look on Caroline's face. Her smile faded as her worst nightmare at the moment walked through the door. Caleb. She glared at him as he looked over towards her slightly shocked. ''And by that look I'm gonna guess and ex boyfriend?'' Kassandra said looking towards Caleb
''An ex boyfriend who tried to kill me, but then I forgot you knew all about that'' Larisa snapped slightly towards
''Your dad told you then'' Kassandra sighed turning back around in her seat to look at Larisa
''Yep he told me everything'' she smiled in reply. Just at that moment, as if on cue Klaus himself burst through the doors. He froze on the spot as he saw the two blondes sitting across from each other at the table, both looked up towards the blond male in shock and slight fear as he made his way over to stand near the table. Everyone at the bar immediately turned to face them
''What part of our deal was not clear, I healed your werewolf bite now you run off, it's what you do best'' Klaus snarled down towards Kassandra as she stood to her full height to face him. Larisa had to pinch herself as she never thought she'd see her parents together again then a part of the sentence hit her
''Werewolf bite, what?'' Larisa asked standing to look towards her mother. Kassandra sighed and glared at Klaus before turning round to face Larisa
''I was attacked by a werewolf a few days ago and your father healed me, that's all'' Kassandra sighed, Larisa glared towards her mother. The gang at the bar looked amused seeing Klaus with his wife and daughter
''And you didn't think to tell be this because, god why do you always have to hide everything'' Larisa growled towards her mother. ''No wonder no one can ever fully trust you, you turn your back on them the moment they start to show you just a little bit of trust'' Larisa snarled
''Larisa enough, she may be a heartless cow but she's still your mother so don't you dare talk to her that way'' Klaus snapped towards Larisa, making her and Kassandra look at him in surprise ''Look Lara why don't you go and wait out b my car, I'll be out in a minute, just need to sort a few things out with your mother first'' Klaus said as his tone became softer. Larisa huffed like a spoilt child as she grabbed her bag and stormed out towards her dads car. ''Sorry about that, I have no clue who she gets her temper from'' Klaus said. Kassandra grinned
''I think it's from both of us, thank you for stepping in. I have no clue how to handle her'' Kassandra sighed. Klaus smiled down at her slightly softer than his normal smile towards her
''She may be eight hundred years old and a vampire but at the end of the day she'll still just a seventeen year old girl'' Klaus replied. She offered him a smile before he turned on his heel and walked off towards the exit of the grill. Damon immediately jumped out of his seat and rushed to Kassandra's side
''You two looked pretty sweet there. You still wanna help us kill Klaus?'' Damon asked from over her shoulder. She spun round to face him with a sirk on her face
''Of course, why wouldn't I want my ex husband dead'' Kassandra smirked. As Damon turned his back to her she snuck a sly look out of the window to see Klaus and Larisa embrace each other tightly, her heart clenched slightly. Did she really want to hurt her daughter by taking away her father?
Uh-oh. Is Kassandra going to go through with the plans for killing Klaus? Or will Larisa or Kassandra's feelings for Klaus get in the way?
Is there any hope for Klaroline now that Kassandra is back? Who would Klaus choose?
Should Larisa and Jason be together?
