Chapter 11

Damon stared at her. "Your what?" he asked

"One of the five Damon, I'm a vampire hunter" she replied

"And you have your vampire killing instincts under control" he asked half getting up.

"Yes, a hunters heart is the opposite of vampire's" she replied "as long as I do cardiovascular in the morning and avoid caffeine I'm fine."

"Cardiovascular?" Damon asked raising his eyebrows

"Running" Cassie, said glaring at Damon.

"And did you run this morning?" he asked knowing the answer already.

Cassie just rolled her eyes and stood up to pour them a drink "no, not this morning, I had a bit more fun this morning" she smirked.

Damon smiled, he was starting to like this girl "What about dinner last night?" he asked

"I had snapped your neck, and killed two vampires, I was a little jumpy."

"Why didn't you come back?" he asked

"It took me a long time to get it under control." She said "it's kinda hard to be in your siblings lives when at the time they are both dating supernatural creatures."

Damon sat back down on the couch.

Damon stared at her "so why do you let Elena think you don't care"

"Why do let Stefan think you don't care" she retorted back.

Damon looked shocked, "I don't care" he replied

Cassie looked at him "Damon, I thought we said we are not going to lie" she said. "Don't worry, I wont tell if you wont, I have an image to protect."

Damon half smiled. "So I have one more questioned" he started

"Then I get to ask you some?" she asked

Damon thought about it for a moment. "Fine" he said.

Cassie sat back in the chair across from Damon, "ok shoot"

"Elena is adopted" Damon said "so.."

"Yes, I'm adopted, Isobel is my mom but john isn't my dad" she said

Damon looked at her "who is your dad?" he asked

"I don't know" she said "apparently Isobel was married before she met john on her quest to become a vampire, so I'm guessing that is who my dad is, or it just could have been some one night stand I don't know. But when my parents told me I went looking for Isobel, that's when I found out she was dead, which is how I met Katherine actually."

Damon sat in silence soaking up all this information. "Why are you telling me all of this?" he asked

"Nope, its my turn" she said smiling

Damon leaned back on the couch, "go ahead" he said.

"Besides you, who can I trust in that Scooby gang?" She asked

"Alaric" he said without hesitation.

"The guy who was getting is ass kicked by the vampire in the woods?" she asked

"That's the one" he replied.

Cassie nodded. "What about your brother?"

"Stefan is incapable of keeping a secret from your sister"

Cassie nodded "Jeremy knows, but I can get him to keep it quiet, but nobody else should know."

"You don't want to let anybody else know?" he asked

"I don't want to have to deal with the kids running their mouths on top of all of this mess," she said.

Damon laughed.

"Plus, as long as Klaus thinks Jeremy is the only hunter,"

"He is not going to kill him" Damon finished

"Leaving me to fulfill my master plan without worried about them" she finished "hey what's thee deal with the originals?" she asked

"Deal?" he asked "and what's your master plan?'

"I know we can't trust any of them but who is the least untrustworthy?" she asked completely ignoring his question.

Damon took a breath, "Elijah" he answered "he is all concerned about honor, just watch how you word any deal with them"

Cassie nodded "and Barbie Klaus?"

"Desperate" he answered "just wants a friend"

"Baby Klaus"

"Reckless"

Cassie finished her drink "ok, just one last question" she said

"Shoot" he said

She smiled at him, "Star Wars or Star Trek?"


Caroline sat at the table with Stefan and Elena during lunch.

"So we need a decade for the dance this month" Caroline said

"How about the '20's" Rebecca said sitting down with them.

"What are you doing here?" Elena asked

"I'm suppose to see if your big sis decided to show up" Rebecca said "Elijah was worried"

Yes, she finally showed up this morning" Elena said bitterly

Rebecca nodded "so about the dance, what do you think about the '20's?" she asked Caroline

"I'll think about it" Caroline said

Matt and Bonnie sat down with them

"Hey Matt how is Jeremy?" Elena asked concerned.

Rebecca rolled her eyes and left the table.

"He is struggling" Matt answered, "last night was to much for him"

Elena nodded "I shouldn't have made him come, I shouldn't have even had it in the first place" she said

"Elena, lay off your sister" Caroline practically yelled at her

"How about we drop the sister subject" Stefan said trying to keep the peace between the two of them

Elena didn't say anything as she started looking through her bag "great, I left my chemistry book at the boarding house" she said getting up from the table

"Do you want me to go with you?" Stefan asked

"No, I'll be quick" she said and she left the cafeteria.

Stefan looked at Caroline "do you mind not yelling at her?" he asked

Caroline glared at him "are you kidding me?! She is being rude to Cassie?"

"Caroline her senses are heightened" Stefan began

"Oh my god if I hear her senses are heightened one more time I'm going to scream, I get it, I went through it myself, but you didn't let me be a bitch because of it, so I don't know why you are letting her" she ranted and stood up leaving the cafeteria as well.

Matt just looked at Stefan and started laughing.

"What?" Stefan asked

"I used to be the one who had to play referee between the two, I'm glad it isn't me anymore" he said still chuckling

Stefan just smiled and ran his hands through his hair.


Elijah looked at his phone in the living room of the mansion.

Cassie showed up this morning, she is fine

Elijah looked to Klaus "Rebecca just texted me, Cassie showed up, she is fine"

Klaus looked at his older brother "I know"

"What?" Elijah asked

"I had Kol following her last night," he said

"Why?" he asked

"I wanted to make sure she was safe" he replied getting up and walking past his brother into the kitchen.

Elijah followed Klaus into the kitchen "and why is that brother?" he asked

Klaus looked at his brother "you know why" was all he said and he continued to get a drink from the fridge

Elijah didn't say anything to his brother for a while. Kol however came bouncing in the room at that moment.

"Well hello brothers" he said

"I see someone had a good time," Klaus said

"Well I have to admit it, Gilbert sure does know how to party" Kol said smiling.

"Good to know" Klaus mumbled to himself.

Elijah and Kol just looked at each other. Elijah gave Kol a sad smile and left the room.

"So it's a good thing you enjoy Cassie" Klaus said once Elijah had left.

"And why is that?" Kol asked

"Because I'm going to need you to befriend her," he replied


Elena walked up the steps to the boarding house hoping that Cassie isn't there; she really didn't need another fight.

When she walked in she saw Damon and Cassie arguing and laughing at each other.

"What is this?" she asked

"Oh I am trying to talk some sense into Damon" Cassie answered, "he thinks Star Wars is better than Star Trek."

"Because it is," Damon said

Elena saw the glasses on the table "drinking already?" she asked

Cassie looked at the glasses on the table. "Had to get rid of my hangover somehow" she replied shrugging her shoulders.

Elena just rolled her eyes and walked up the steps.

Damon looked at Cassie when Elena was out of eyesight, he saw her eyes grow sad for a second then she hid any emotion again.

"What are you doing home from school?" Damon asked "don't you have a physics test or something" when Elena came back down the steps

Elena held up her book "forgot this" Damon nodded as Elena left, before she got to the door Elena turned back to Cassie and Damon "try not to get to drunk, Jeremy wants to talk to you" she said and left.


"Was that the reason for the question?" Damon asked whenever Elena had left

"Nope, I just wanted to see which one you will choose." She replied.

Damon stared at her knowing she was lying, he opened his mouth, when her phone beeped.

Cassie pulled her phone at and laughed.

"I got to go" she said standing up "Rebecca is bothering Caroline"

Damon followed her out of the door.

"Are you following me?" she asked

"Do you have a way to get to the high school?" he asked back.

Cassie turned back to Damon, "no, I don't" she said realizing her situation

Damon pulled out his keys "I know"

She smiled. Feeling like she finally found someone who understood her.


AN: before all of my readers get angry, i enjoy both Star Wars and Star Trek, i just needed a topic for the two of them to talk about.

and i know some of these lines are cheesy, love conquers all, and the somebody finally understands her. but i feel like with the first one Cassie was mocking it and the second one, we all have that feeling of finally someone can see through all of the barriors that we put up.
