Hello all! This chapter is dedicated to aletheswan because the episode 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' aired on her birthday. So I hope you had a very happy birthday :)

Also another big thank you to Lindy for reviewing 4 times to make this story reach 80 reviews! Now it's neck and neck with 'Sweet Dreams Are Made of This', which is still my baby because it was my first fic.

And I added some lemony fluff in this chapter so I hope you enjoy it ;)

I know that I've been posting an author's note in every story I've updated so far bc I want my readers to understand that I won't ever stop writing. I might have to go on a hiatus because of school but please bear with me. I will have a big break coming up in December so should I temporarily stop writing then I'd be back in December but I'm gonna keep on trucking to get these chapters out.

I own nothing of TVD's, only Cassandra and my story.


Cassandra felt Damon's fingers skimming up and down the curve of her hip as she stirred from her sleep. A smile graced her lips before opening her eyes and looking up at Damon through her dark, thick lashes. He was so handsome that her heart leapt at the sight of him with just the bed sheet wrapped around his lower body.

"Good morning." He murmured while still walking his fingers up her hip.

"Morning, handsome." She chirped before stretching her arms over head, enjoying the sound of her back cracking. The bed sheet moved slightly but settled back into place so it strategically covered her supple body which Damon so badly wanted to see again. Cassandra then propped herself up on her side, resting her head on her hand. To Damon she looked like a goddess with the blanket draped over her as her curls framed her flawless face. "Have you been feeding regularly?" She inquired and he raised an eyebrow at her. "I mean you look like you wanna eat me." She then smirked and Damon wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her closer.

"And what if I do?" He challenged.

"Hmm, I don't think I would mind." She purred and softly kissed his lips. It felt unbelievable to be back with him in Mystic Falls again. The best feeling was waking up in his arms. Damon pulled her closer and started to drag the bed sheet from Cassandra's body when his phone rang.

"Don't answer it." Cassandra moaned in between kissing him.

"Wasn't planning on it." He smirked as his phone kept ringing. Damon rolled them to hover over Cassandra, their lips never moving from each others. He nibbled at her plump bottom lip, begging for entrance and she granted it to him. Suddenly Cassandra's phone started ringing shortly after Damon's stopped. Damon groaned and broke their kiss. "You're back in Mystic Falls for a couple of hours and already everyone wants something from you." He said exasperatedly. She laughed and reached to the bedside table.

"Hello?"

"Hey it's me. You busy?" Elena asked warily.

"YES!" Damon yelled loud enough for Elena to hear. Cassandra threw him a look and he just shrugged his shoulders.

"Oh, I'm sorry...I'll just talk to you later."

"No! It's fine. Damon's just being rude." Cassandra said snidely and he smirked. "What do you need?"

"Can I come over after school?" The teen asked.

"Elena, it's your house." Cassandra stated.

"I know that but I figured that you and Damon were..." She trailed off.

"You got that right!" Damon smirked and Cassandra elbowed his ribs.

"Okay...I'll uhm, be over around 3 o' clock." Elena mumbled before hanging up the phone.

"Come on babe! I wanted to spend all day in bed with you." Damon whined.

"We can do it another day." She sighed and Damon pouted. "Listen...uhm; do you think that we could play 'normal couple' for a while?"

"You're a hybrid and I'm a vampire. I don't think that qualifies as normal." Damon quipped.

"No I mean, like can we not be all lovey dovey in front of Elena?" She clarified. "I feel bad for her that we got our happy ending and she didn't."

"Oh...gotcha." Damon nodded. "I'll try, okay?" She smiled and kissed him tenderly. "See if you do stuff like that in front of Elena then I'll have to take you on the floor." He smirked. "Does the same rule apply for Stefan?"

"Nope. He screwed this one up so I don't care what we do in front of him." Cassandra answered snidely.

"Hallelujah!" Damon cheered and pounced on her again. She playfully shrieked as he kissed her with a little more gusto. He gently caressed her skin through the sheet and her body arched up to meet his touch. His kisses moved down to her neck where he carefully suckled the skin making little nips and bites.

"We can't do this now..." Cassandra moaned. "Elena's coming over soon."

"Well she's not here now." Damon smirked up at her from her collarbone before dipping his head back down and tracing his tongue over the skin. Cassandra sighed feeling his warm hands move under the sheet but her thoughts were slightly jarred hearing light voices and music playing coming from down stairs.

"Do you hear that?" She suddenly asked him and he lifted his head to listen when a look of fear crossed his face. The two of them climbed out of the warm bed, threw on some clothes and made their way downstairs. They had to step over two dead female bodies towards the bottom of the stairs. Their necks were ripped out and bloody. In the living room, Stefan was spinning a twister spinner while three heavily bitten and bleeding girls played the game. The twister mat was covered in blood and the girl's laughed trying to situate their bodies to touch the according colored spots.

"Someone's having a little too much fun this early in the morning." Cassandra frowned at the young vampire.

"Well, you two had your own fun last night so I figured that I'd indulge a little." Stefan mused while watching the girls move on the mat. "Besides you guys were so loud that I could barely hear myself think. You mind keeping it down?" He teased.

"I hope our fun kept you up all night." She growled and Stefan just glared at her. Damon placed a comforting arm around her waist. "If you weren't being a 'grade A' douche than you'd probably be all cozy with Elena."

"Elena, who?" Stefan quipped and the couple visibly tensed. "She's an asset to Klaus so naturally I need to protect her."

"And this is what Klaus had in mind by compelling you to protect Elena?" Damon spoke up now and gestured to the girls still playing Twister.

"These ladies are helping me be all that I can be." Stefan smirked widely.

"Uh, yeah those two brunettes on the staircase owe me a Persian rug." The elder Salvatore said simply.

"You mean they owe us a Persian rug?" Stefan corrected. "It's my house too, brother." Both Cassandra and Damon rolled their eyes at his attitude when three sharp knocks rapped at the front door. Damon opened it to reveal a very pissed off Rebekah with a ton of shopping bags on her wrists.

"Where is Stefan?" She pushed passed Damon.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Cassandra growled angrily.

"He left me here! My brother actually left me here!" Rebekah whined angrily, ignoring the female hybrid.

"Oh I'm sorry. Your tone implies that I'm actually supposed to care." Stefan said nonchalantly and Rebekah visibly frowned.

"Well now that all of us are acquainted…which one is my room?" She asked seriously.

Stefan chuckled, thinking she was joking. "You're not staying here."

"I second that!" Damon and Cassandra butt in. Rebekah turned to look at them disbelievingly before looking back at Stefan.

"Rude. The three of you." She spat and took her things past them and to an empty guest bedroom upstairs. "I'll see to it myself."

"I guess she's staying here." Stefan quipped and Damon and Cassandra grumbled before leaving Stefan to his game.


Cassandra and Damon lounged on his bed, now fully dressed as he spoke to Katherine and Vanessa on the phone. The two vampires had been in Mikael's tomb for at least two days and there was no luck in getting the hunter to wake up. Damon and Cassandra could talk about this safely since the blonde brat and the ripper were at school.

"Well, try harder." Damon prodded as he rubbed his hand over the small of Cassandra's back as she lay on her stomach. "We need him to kill Klaus so I can 'de-rippify' Stefan before he destroys my house." He added and Cassandra motioned for the phone. "Oh can you put Vanessa on the phone?"

"Fine, I'll get another shot." Katherine huffed and passed the phone to the blonde vampire before slamming the mausoleum gate behind her."Look, I know you're really mad at me and I should be at school but I wanted to help you!" Vanessa babbled.

"I know you wanted to help me but you're gonna get yourself killed." Cassandra replied seriously. "Besides when did you start working with Katherine?" She asked.

"It's more like I'm working with her." Vanessa clarified. "She was looking for Stefan, I was looking for you so we decided to help each other out. You were unhappy with Klaus…and I knew you wanted to be back with Damon."She added sincerely before picking up the mouse and dangling it over Mikael's mouth once again.

"I really appreciate it." Cassandra said looking up at Damon and he laced his fingers with hers. "More than you know, but please get out of there before you get hurt." She pleaded.

"Yeah but if we wake Mikael than he can kill Klaus and that will break Stefan's compulsion. It's a win-win. A no brainer." Vanessa argued and Cassandra breathed out a sigh.

"There's just no use talking any sense to you." The hybrid unlaced her hand from Damon's to pinch the bridge of her nose.

"Nope. Oh by the way…Am I still grounded for totally going behind your back?" Vanessa's voice raised an octave, as if hoping that Cassandra would go easy on her.

Cassandra laughed before replying, "Yes, and don't think for a second that you'll get out of it." She said firmly and she heard the blonde vampire groaned on the other end of the phone.

"Come on mom!" She whined and Cassandra rolled her eyes while Damon burst into laughter at the term of endearment.

"Don't you 'mom' me!" Cassandra chided before turning to Damon, "And you!" She jabbed the vampire in the ribs. "Don't encourage her!"

"Oh look at the time and Katherine's back with some human blood…"

"Vanessa!" Cassandra scolded.

"Love ya! Talk to you later!" She chirped before hanging up the phone. Cassandra sighed before handing Damon his phone back.

"That girl will be the death of me." She moaned and laid her head down on the bed. Sensing her frustration, Damon rubbed his hands over her back and shoulders in an effort to calm her down.

"She's a strong girl. You taught her everything you know." Damon comforted.

"Maybe so but she's still a vampire. Klaus's intentions was to make her a hybrid but for some reason he didn't."

"Do any of us ever know why that psycho does anything?" Damon quipped.

"You know something…last night I think he had every intention of letting me go. I don't know why he would but…" Cassandra trailed off. Part of her wished Damon hadn't come so soon so she would have been able to hear what Klaus had to tell her. Despite what most people thought, Klaus was capable of love. Cassandra had witnessed it even though it rarely shown through his hard exterior.

"Like I said, we will never know what goes on inside that head of his."

"Exactly. He's gone now and I'm back." Cassandra smiled happily and switched her position to lean up against the headboard with her legs resting on Damon's lap.

"Yes you are." He whispered huskily and brushed his lips against hers. Cassandra hummed and let her tongue lap at his upper lip before running over the roof of his mouth. That movement alone made Damon's fangs drop down and Cassandra took that chance to circle his sharp teeth. "Mmm, you little minx." Damon moaned and Cassandra gently bit his bottom lip.

"So Elena, Stefan and Rebekah are at school…" She giggled and played with the collar of his V-neck shirt.

"You don't have to tell me twice." Damon rasped before smothering her mouth with his. Cassandra returned his kiss but broke it to nibble his earlobe. Her tongue then traced the shell of his ear before blowing air over the wet skin. Damon's eyes nearly rolled into the back of his head hearing her purr softly in his ear, "How about that foreplay we skipped last night?"

"You bet." Damon smirked and Cassandra straddled his lap. She bent her head down to kiss him but she pulled back. Damon craned his head up to catch her lips but she kept teasing him.

"You know what...actually I might take a shower." She said innocently and Damon's eyes widened.

"Oh no you don't." Damon challenged but Cassandra was already off him and making her way to the bathroom. He blurred to her and threw her over his shoulder. "You're not leaving me with a case of blue balls, sweetheart." He growled and spanked her.

"Well if you wanted to shower with me than you should've just said so." She giggled and Damon placed her on her feet in the shower. Cassandra turned the water on, watching it soak through both of their clothes. They rid themselves of the fabrics that stuck to them like a second skin and Cassandra gripped the soap in her hands, working it into a lather before spreading it all over Damon's body. She rubbed it into his wet skin, watching the bubbles drip down his rippled body. She was sure to clean his entire body except for the one obvious place where Damon needed her to touch him the most. Cassandra worked more bubbles into her hands before curling them around his hard cock. He hissed out as her hands firmly gripped him before she started to pump the slick lather over the slippery skin. Damon threaded his hands in Cassandra's wet hair and brought her lips to his in a steamy kiss. She moaned loudly into his mouth while her thumb stroked his thick mushroom head. Cassandra released him to rinse him down, making sure his skin was all clean and bubble free. She smirked at his throbbing cock which was standing at attention and got down on her knees before him. Her tongue jutted out to circle his slit which was dripping with pre cum. She lapped at his juices and hummed at the zingy taste. Cassandra puckered her lips around his head and sucked hard then she moved her mouth in time with her pumping hands.

"Mmmm yeahhh baby…" Damon groaned and tangled his hands in her hair as she worked him harder. She was now taking him down her throat while her hand cupped his balls, gently fondling them. Her pace switched as she removed him from her mouth and tapped his cock against her pouty lips. She pumped him and her lips suckled his balls. She laved them with her tongue like they were her favorite treat. Damon felt himself bordering on tipping over the edge and went to pull her hands away but she growled up at him.

"Consider this payback from last night." She purred and held his hips and began deep throating him all over again. He wanted to be in control last night and he was, but right now she was gonna be the one controlling him. Her thumbs dug into the juts of his hips while she licked him like an ice cream cone. Damon moaned, feeling his grip on reality slowing slipping as her throat tightened around his cock. His hands gripped her head as he thrusted his cock down her throat. He was fucking her mouth when he heard her slightly gag but she wasn't letting up.

"Ngahh! I'm gonna…ohhh fuck!" He threw his head back and it hit the shower wall when suddenly his cock twitched in her mouth and his hot seed spilled down her throat. Damon shuddered and she still continued to milk him for all of the cum he was worth. She finally released him, watching his now softening cock fall limp against his quivering thigh. Cassandra looked up at him proudly and licked her lips as if to challenge Damon. He pulled her up to her height before slamming his lips on hers. They switched positions as she was now with her back against the wall. Damon took the soap in his hands and did the same thing to Cassandra's body. He massaged every curve and dip in her body till she was humming in delight. After rinsing her off, Damon peppered her wet skin with equally wet kisses and licks. His tongue traced her collarbone before dipping down to her perky, supple breasts. He massaged them gently, seeing her nipples become erect and begging for attention. Damon's tongue circled them before pulling them into his mouth and suckling them. He bit her peaks and Cassandra's back arched, pleading him to continue. Damon kissed her taut stomach and dipped his tongue into her navel. Now he was the one on his knees and looking up at her. She propped her leg up on his shoulder, allowing him to fully see her dripping pussy. She was perfectly pink and ready for him. He nibbled at the skin on her inner thigh, teasing her a little before he gave one long lick up and down her slit.

"Mmm you're so wet, baby." He purred and used his thumbs to spread her lips, eliciting a low moan from her and he thrust his tongue into her waiting hole. She pulsed around him and Damon's cock started to harden again just thinking about burying himself within her again.

"I'm wet for you, Damon. Only you." Cassandra keened out feeling his tongue still within her and Damon took it as a hint to wiggle his tongue around while his thumb rubbed over her swollen clit. The water made her skin extra slippery and the movements Damon made against her were extra smooth. His touch glided over her flawlessly as he continued to thrust his tongue in and out of her. Cassandra yanked roughly at his hair and angled herself so he could have more access to pleasure her further. "Faster!" She chanted and Damon latched his lips over her clit. His lips puckered, much like she did to him, and sucked ruthlessly. She was so sensitive, nearly to the point of pain and Cassandra tried to pull herself away from him but Damon held her still. Her hips bucked into his face as she continued to scream and wail. Damon bit her clit and she suddenly went rigid. "YESS!" She screamed and came in his mouth, her hips still bucking and her legs felt weak. Cassandra slumped against the wall and Damon continued to lick her. His tongue lapped up her cum and every time he licked her clit her walls would flutter violently from the aftermath of her shattering orgasm. He was amused by her sensitivity and sucked one of her lips into his mouth, pulling it with his teeth before rising up to his full height. Cassandra was panting and her legs were wobbling uncontrollably so Damon held her waist, cradling her to him so she wouldn't fall.

"You alright, Cass?" He asked with some worry laced in his tone.

"Mmm hmm." She moaned. "That was just…amazing." She breathed and looked up at him.

"I try." Damon smirked and kissed her flushed forehead. Cassandra chuckled lightly and craned her head up to meet his lips, joining them in a soft kiss.

"Make love to me, Damon." She whispered against his lips. Damon shifted her in his grip so they were standing back to chest and Cassandra pressed her upper body against the glass shower door. The cold from the glass made her shiver and her nipples hardened once again from the chilling sensation. She braced her hands on the glass feeling Damon's cock nestle in between her ass. Damon kissed the curve of her neck and her shoulder feeling the blood rushing through her veins underneath the skin. He took a couple of quick pumps at his cock before gently sliding into Cassandra from behind. She gasped out and her back snapped back registering Damon stretching her. Even though they made love the night before, she was still incredibly tight. He bit where her neck and shoulder met, stilling himself for a while and then started to gently thrust into her.

"My God Cassandra, you're so tight." He rasped in her ear as he picked up his pace. She leaned her forehead against the glass before Damon wrapped his hand loosely around her neck and craned her lips to touch his in a steamy kiss. Cassandra moaned in his mouth feeling his cock hit all the right places within her. Damon's other hand wrapped around her body to lightly pinch her nipples, hardening her buds to tight peaks. Cassandra felt Damon move faster so she imagined that he was close. Wanting to cum with him, she frantically rubbed her clit. The tingling sensation in her stomach was coiling once again and she rubbed herself faster, trying to get herself off.

"Faster, Damon! Ohh God!" She moaned and pushed her ass into him to ensure that he was deeply nestled within her. Her thrusts were in time with his as they rocked into each other ferociously. Cassandra leaned down feeling her orgasm approaching quickly. She registered the touch of Damon's lips running over her shoulders and back. He placed a hand on her flat stomach and pressed against it, "Arch your back, beautiful." He chanted in her ear and she did so. She gasped and so did he. He was now thrusting up into her and was knocking against her swollen g-spot. The air around them got considerably thicker, the steam making it hard for them to see and breathe but they didn't care. All they noticed was the two of them rocking into each other. Damon lifted his wrist to his lips, biting into it and offering it to his lover which she took greedily. In turn, Damon bit into the spot where her neck and shoulder met and their orgasms were automatically triggered. His cock twitched and exploded inside her while her pussy fluttered and squeezed his cock. Their juices mixed together, running down their legs before swirling together at the bottom of the shower and flowing down the drain. They were both panting furiously, trying to get some air into their lungs. After Damon fed, he nuzzled his nose into her neck and Cassandra chuckled while reaching her hand back to scratch at the back of his neck.

"I think you're picking up some of my werewolf tendencies." She giggled and Damon scoffed.

"No way! I'm your big, bad vampire, remember?" He smirked and bit teasingly at the skin.

"Always." She whispered and craned his lips to mold to hers.


Elena huffed and tried to keep her feet moving as Cassandra continued to take hits at her with human speed. If she was that fast at human speed, Elena couldn't imagine going against a vampire. Cassandra took her out to a clearing in the woods so they wouldn't be privy to Stefan's attitude and Rebekah's constant nagging.

"You wanna make sure to keep your feet moving all the time." Cassandra coached and threw a punch to Elena but she blocked it quickly. "Very good." She complimented and Elena smiled. The two girls paused for a water break – well for Elena to take a water break. Cassandra on the other hand could go another couple of rounds. "When you're fighting an opponent you never wanna look for an opening or where you can hit them. If you spend your time looking for it then you'll get distracted, giving your attacker a chance to strike and then the opening will have already closed." She explained but Elena's nose wrinkled.

"I don't get it." She stated while trying to sort out the hybrids words in her head.

"Hey Buffy!" Damon quipped as he walked into the clearing. "Whatcha doing out here?"

"I was just teaching Elena how to defend herself." Cassandra answered. "I need a little help. I'm showing Elena not to look for the opening and I need a volunteer."

"Sure. I'll go easy on you." He joked and took a spot across from Cassandra. The two of them circled each other cautiously, each trying to read the other. None of them made a move at first while Elena watched them move stealthily. Damon made the first move to blur at her but Cassandra was faster. By the time Damon got to Cassandra she was already standing behind him. She kicked Damon's legs out from under him and he gripped her arm to pull her down with him. The pair wrestled on the floor, each of them trying to establish dominance until Cassandra threw Damon off her. They each got to their feet, snarling and hissing at each other – now the real fight started. They lunged at each other, holding the other at arm's length before Damon took her arm and twisted it behind her body but Cassandra was able to rustle out of his grip. They took shots at each other, sometimes hitting the other and sometimes missing by a hair. Elena watched the both of them completely fascinated. It was like watching a martial arts movie – without the crappy special effects and stunt doubles. Cassandra kept moving her feet and Damon followed her movements. The hybrid quickly saw the opening she was looking for and Elena was able to see it as well. Acting quickly, Cassandra jabbed Damon in the face and brought her leg up to kick under his jaw but he gripped her foot in midair. The vampire pulled her leg toward to mess up Cassandra's balance, which it did and he shoved the two of them to the ground. Damon pressed his entire body against her, their curves meeting each other's and Cassandra stilled, knowing she lost. Damon smirked down at her before turning over his shoulder to look at Elena. "And that's how it's done." He said proudly.

"Lesson number one." Cassandra spoke up and quickly blurred the two of them so Damon was on the bottom while she established her dominance over him. It was her turn to smirk as she held him down. Damon struggled but she was much too strong. "Never turn your back on a vampire." She called out to Elena but kept her eyes on Damon. He smirked playfully and Cassandra purred, "Pinned you."


Cassandra was roasting a marshmallow on a stick when she felt Damon's presence behind her. Elena had come up with this grandiose plan to lock Stefan up at least until Mikael woke up. Naturally Damon's job was to preoccupy Rebekah while Elena and Alaric would get Stefan stabilized, and by stabilized they meant pumped full of enough vervain to keep him down for a long time. Cassandra was a little upset that Elena just volunteered Damon to take care of Rebekah, but she knew that it was all part of the plan to get Stefan locked up.

"You're supposed to be distracting Rebekah." She chided playfully and he took a seat on the bench next to her.

"Yeah but I don't see her yet so I figured I'd spend some time with you." He smirked and Cassandra couldn't help but notice that he looked devastatingly handsome with his face being lit by the flames of the small fire in front of them. "Whatcha making?"

"Smores." She answered simply and placed the marshmallow in between two graham crackers and a piece of chocolate. She took a bite and hummed at the delicious taste. Cassandra offered it to Damon and he bit into it, the tastes all mixing together in perfect harmony. "I haven't made these in so long. Last I made them I was with my nieces in New York. They were having a sleepover." Damon was able to pick up the sense of longing in her tone. She really hadn't seen her family in a long time.

"How about this, when all this crap is over, we'll visit them." He offered and she nodded.

"Sounds like a plan. Besides, they need to meet my new boyfriend." She smiled cheekily and Damon caressed her cheek lovingly.

"I know you're upset with Elena, but you know that Stefan can't be walking around like this. It's not good for anyone." He explained and Cassandra nodded wordlessly but she understood.

"I just worry about you. Rebekah is an Original." Cassandra reasoned.

"I'll be alright." He said and kissed her lips. "Mmm you taste like smores." He chuckled and moved in to kiss her again but Cassandra placed her finger on his lips.

"Later." She murmured. "Barbie Klaus is here." Damon groaned and gave her one last kiss before walking off to join Rebekah. She was sitting on a bench, brooding and charring a marshmallow on a stick in the flames.

"What? No friends your own age?" Rebekah quipped.

"Like you can talk." Damon said sitting down beside her.

"Why are you talking to me? You hate me, you should be mean." She glowered.

"You're right. I do hate you. You practically threatened to dislocate my girlfriend's head from her shoulders." Damon growled.

"All in a day's work." She shrugged and blew out the burning marshmallow in a seductive manner but Damon merely rolled his eyes at her antics. "You do know that my brother intends to come back and take her as his once he makes more hybrids. I wouldn't get too comfortable." She stated haughtily.

"Well your brother will have to pry Cassandra from my cold, dead hands. There is no way I'm giving her up." Damon growled and stood to tower above her.

"She'll never be able to give you what you want." Rebekah sang with a dark smirk on her face. "Even though she can pro create, you can't. She won't be able to give you a family. The two of you will live forever, granted that Klaus doesn't stake you, to be older than dirt with no legacy and no family." She stated snottily and if she weren't an Original, Damon would've ripped her head off by now.

"It doesn't matter. We'll have each other."

"My brother could give her everything she could ever want." Rebekah stated with a grin.

"I already have everything I want." Cassandra spoke from the shadows and came into view. She'd heard the whole conversation and wasn't too happy that Rebekah was shit talking her.

"The both of you are distracting me. Why?" Rebekah raised an eyebrow while standing up.

"I'm just trying to be a good housemate." Damon smirked. "So let me give you some friendly advice, direct from me to you, if you ever threaten my girlfriend again I will rip your spleen out your back and shove it down your throat." He growled and all Rebekah did was smile wryly.

"There's no real fair fight between us, Damon." She purred before stabbing the branch that she was roasting the marshmallows on through Damon's stomach. He groaned and knelt down while Cassandra ran to his aid.

"That little…blonde...Barbie Original bitch!" Damon gritted as Cassandra pulled the branch from him. "AH!" He yelled out and Cassandra tore the fabric of her shirt, pressing it to wound to make the bleeding stop. "I think we distracted her long enough." He rasped.

"Yeah you think so?" She chuckled lightly and lifted his shirt to see that the wound had healed.

"I'm gonna kick her ass when she gets home." Damon said holding his still sore stomach.

"Take a number, Casanova. She's first on my shit list." Cassandra growled. "Did you hear what she was saying about me?" She suddenly shrieked, the sound echoing in the open are around them.

"I was hoping that you didn't." Damon replied honestly. He really didn't want her to get upset. They had wanted to start a family for a long time but they knew it was impossible. Cassandra huffed, rising from the bench and started to pace back and forth. The leaves crunched under her feet as she tried to release some of her anger. "Take it easy, Cassandra." He comforted her but she was just about blowing hot air out of her ears.

"No! I hate her! She's a complete bitch! How dare she say what I can and cannot give you?" She hollered while still pacing.

"Cassandra." Damon called.

"I mean, she doesn't know us so why the hell is she assuming anything about our relationship?" She continued to rant and rave, all the while ignoring Damon.

"Babe!"

"She's lucky I don't take my foot and shove it right up her – " Cassandra was stopped mid speech as Damon's lips came into contact with hers. She suddenly forgot the reasons why she was kicking and screaming. She breathed out a sigh, finally relaxing and Damon pulled back to look in her eyes which were wet with tears.

"I love you and no one else. No matter what we can and cannot have." He spoke to her and cupped her face.

"You mean that?" She blinked and some tears dripped down her cheeks.

"Of course. I will always love you, baby. I will till my heart stops beating." He said truthfully. Being a vampire and not being able to have children was a sensitive subject, especially for Cassandra. Maybe it was because in 1864 it was imperative for women to get married and have children. Really, that's all women could do in that time. Damon could see her being a mother. She was great with children and Damon felt his stomach twist knowing that he couldn't give her that satisfaction.

"I love you." She whispered and pressed her lips to his.


"I apologize for my outburst. It would have made more sense had you known that I've been denying myself human blood for as long as I can remember." Mikael spoke for the first time in hours. Katherine had fed him blood from a young man mourning a loved one in the graveyard but Mikael begged for her to get it away from him. Regardless with the human blood in his system his color came back and he could move granted he was restricted by the heavy chains that bound his body. Vanessa had started to light candles around the room since it was dark out. "Why is it that you awoke me?" He asked.

"I thought that you might know how to kill Klaus." Katherine replied. "But something's tells me I've been sorely misinformed." She added after looking over Mikael.

"Would you mind helping me with these?" He asked and the girls tensed. How could they trust that he wouldn't stake them where they stood? "I can assure you I won't be able to kill Klaus from beneath them."

"Does that mean you do know how to kill him?" Vanessa bent down cautiously to speak with him.

"I can kill Klaus. And I will." Mikael said confidently and Katherine hesitated but tore the heavy chains from his body. He took a deep breath and exhaled, elated that he was free of those chains.

"Thank you." He said appreciatively and rubbed his sore limbs.

"A little human blood will grease those muscles up real quick." Katherine noted but she put her hands up in surrender. "Just saying."

"I don't feed on living things." Mikael said gravely.

"Then what do you eat?" Vanessa asked and suddenly Mikael lunged from his coffin and bit the blonde's neck. She screamed and struggled while Katherine was trying to pull her away from the hunter.

"Let go of her! Let go!" Katherine seethed but Mikael wasn't giving up his hold on the vampire. Even if he hadn't fed in a while he was still able to overpower Katherine. Vanessa fell limp, her upper body hanging in the coffin and Mikael gripped Katherine now, his hunger still not satisfied. He ripped into her neck savagely and Katherine quickly felt her life force leaving her as she then crumpled to the ground.


Damon was rolling up the bloodied Persian rug when Cassandra came through the front door. She had to drive Alaric and Elena home since the history teachers' car was completely torched due to Vicki's involvement. Damn ghosts.

"Hey, you need help?" She asked and bent down even though he didn't give her a definitive answer.

"Ehh, why not." He shrugged. "Ric hates me doesn't he?"

"Well...you did kill him." Cassandra pointed out.

"Yeah but he pissed me off." Damon defended.

"I know that but you've gotta keep your emotions under control."

"Now that you're back I won't have to worry about losing my temper again." Damon mused.

"It'll take some time but I think everything will turn around. Besides, I think Ric misses you." Cassandra quipped. Damon smirked and walked his index and middle finger up her denim cover thigh. She turned her attention away from the carpet and bit her bottom lip. "You're hornier than I remember."

"I haven't seen you in a couple months so excuse me if I'm a little horny." He waggled his eyebrows at her and swooped her up in his arms. Her legs wrapped around his lean waist and her arms tangled around his neck while Damon held her at her thighs.

She giggled as his hands traveled to rest on her ass. "Mr. Salvatore we must focus on the task at hand." She jerked her head at the still unfolded carpet.

"Right now my task is satisfying you." He whispered dangerously close to her lips before kissing her. She immediately moaned and massaged her tongue with his. Damon blurred them to inside the living room and sat her down on the bar, their lips still moving passionately over one another's. She still held him close to her with her legs while her hands rested on his hard chest, tracing little patterns over his shirt. Damon bit her bottom lip and tugged gently at it with his teeth which caused her to growl playfully. Their fun ended when a glass vase shattered on the living room floor. Cassandra rolled her eyes, thinking that it was Stefan mocking them for being intimate. "Keep it up, Stefan." Damon yelled into the empty room but it didn't seem like Stefan was listening as a gust of wind blew by and more fragile items met their demise as they crashed to the floor.

Cassandra swung her legs off the bar and went to help Damon clean up the broken vase but something hit her in the back of the head so hard that she was positive that it broke the skin on her scalp. "Ah! What the hell Stefan?" She screamed and held her head. Damon cradled her head to see the wound healing up quickly.

"Jesus! You alright?" He asked worriedly and saw more broken glass pieces on the floor.

"Yeah I'm fine. If you'll excuse me I'm going to find your brother. He's in need of a good ass kicking." She spat bitterly and Damon chuckled lightly before kissing her forehead. Cassandra exhaled, feeling some of her anger leave her but she still had some pent up energy to release on Stefan. She followed the breezes down the hall; all the while they rattled the paintings on the walls. Cassandra jumped out of her skin when suddenly a light bulb above her head burst, the light dimming and the glass shattering. That wasn't the work of Stefan. He would have had to physically crush the bulb in his hand to make it break. The other two bulbs on the light exploded as well, the sudden sound making her jolt. "This isn't funny, Stefan!" She said more serious this time. She had to admit that she was a little spooked.

"Boo." A deep voice taunted in her ear and Cassandra whipped around to see no one there. She eyed the narrow hallways for any kind of movement while she broke off the wood from a picture frame. She held the makeshift stake close to her and continued to keep her head on a swivel.

"Who's there?" Cassandra asked warily and was greeted by a gust of wind that threw her to the wall.

"No need to be so scared. You look as if you've seen a ghost." The voice laughed and Cassandra shot the stake to the spot where she thought the voice came from but it buried itself into the wall opposite her. She growled angrily, knowing full well she had missed when the voice chuckled. "Ohh! So close but no cigar, sweetheart."

"Who are you?" She gritted and she was met with silence. Cassandra listened for something, anything to clue her in on where this force went. She heard a loud thumping noise, like a body dropping, and ran back to the room Damon occupied. The pieces of the vase still littered the floor and Damon was unconscious. Her adrenaline pumped through her body and she sprinted to him to see he'd been knocked out. No doubt it was by the same person or thing that taunted her in the hallway.

"Aww don't pout; I'm nowhere near finished with him yet." That condescending voice spoke again and it sounded closer than ever. Cassandra looked out of the corner of her eye to see someone standing within close proximity to her. She whipped around but a sudden shooting pain in her back made her halt all movements. She looked down to see a stake protruding from her chest. It was the very same stake she armed herself with in the hallway. Stabbed in the back with her own weapon. "And I'm not done with you either." The gruff voice sounded in her ear and Cassandra dropped to the floor. Her eyes fluttered as she felt her entire body go numb.

"No…Damon..." She whimpered weakly and her world went dark.

"This is gonna be fun." Mason Lockwood smirked above the two unconscious beings. He knew that they wouldn't be out for long. Truthfully he had no idea how he'd been able to come back into this world but he didn't care. He wanted to take revenge on Damon Salvatore for a long time and now he planned to take it, however he was completely intrigued by Damon's lover. She was strong, really strong and incredibly beautiful. He thoroughly enjoyed toying with her in the hallway even if it was just for an easy scare. Perhaps when she woke up he'd inquire about her more before killing her. And Mason would make sure that Damon watched.


Uh oh! Mason Lockwood has come back to play! And what will happen with Vanessa and Katherine? Please review :)
