1864
Anna and I were outside on a dark night. She was showing me how she fed. There was a carriage approaching.
"We need some help." Anna told them. "We're lost and can't find our way back home."
"You shouldn't be out here so late." The man replied.
"Don't move or scream." Anna compelled before she bit into his neck. She didn't end up killing him. "So now I just heal him up and send him on his way. You don't remember any of this."
"So you don't kill?" I asked her as I looked over the man and she wiped the blood off of her lips.
"A lot of do, but I like not leaving a trail of bodies back to me." Anna explained.
"Thank you for the lesson, Miss Harrison. Now I should get home before father notices." I stated.
Present
I woke up with Jeremy in my bed. It was nice waking up with his arms on my naked body. Damon was probably going to visit Stefan and Elena so I didn't have to worry about anything.
"Hey, sexy." I greeted him. I had my hand touching something of his. I felt like being this morning if you know what I mean.
"Wakey-wakey you two." Damon replied from the end of the bed. I quickly moved my hand as I pulled the cover over me. I guess assuming what Damon was going to do was not a smart idea.
"What the hell?" Jeremy asked in surprise.
"Stop being smutty." Damon told us. I blushed.
"Get the fuck out of here." I ordered. I was pretty sure that he wouldn't listen.
"If I see something I haven't seen before, I'll throw a dollar at it." Damon quipped. Well at least I was glad that we weren't in the act when he came in. "Now we have some very important business to discuss."
"Why can't you discuss it with Stefan?" I asked.
"Because I trust you more than him." Damon remarked. Okay, that was a good reason. "So in order to open the tomb, we need the grimoire and in order to do that, we need the journal. I heard you were doing a report on it. What did you do with it?"
"I gave it to Mr. Saltzman." Jeremy replied.
"Then you need to get it back from him." Damon instructed. "That journal is very important to our mission. Now hurry and get dressed. We have much to do today."
Damon walked out of the room and Jeremy tried to get up.
"We are going to finish what we started." I declared adamantly. I don't think he objected.
Cassidy's POV
I had just got out of the shower and was getting dressed when my phone rang. It was Anna.
"What are you doing right now?" She asked me.
"I am putting clothes on." I replied. "Are you outside of my window watching?"
"No, but I was wondering if you wanted to hang out today." She declared. "I mean I have a few things to do, but I really want to see that journal of your family's. So I can come over now if you want to play dress up."
"No, I'll see you later." I responded as I rolled my eyes. I ended up putting on a purple dress with a belt around my waist and a leather jacket with black socks and grey boots and styled my hair so it fell on my right shoulder. I then went into the kitchen where I found Caroline.
"Your mom said that you found your camera, so I want to start reporting today." She stated. I guess I could do that while my girlfriend was busy. Okay, so she wasn't officially my girlfriend, but she was going to be.
1864
"I stole this from my mom." Anna replied as she handed me a small bottle. "I want you to have it."
"What is it?" I asked as I opened it.
"It's a special elixir that will prevent compulsion and vampires from drinking your blood." Anna explained. "You drink it."
I put it in my mouth and began to ingest it. I went down okay at first before I began to choke. It felt like my throat was closing up. Anna quickly gave me some of your blood.
"I think you might be allergic to vervain." She told me. "I'll have to find some other way to protect you."
Well that was an unfortunate memory. I was glad that vampires didn't have allergies, because I would probably need to start drinking vervain later when the Originals come to town.
Present
Jeremy and I began to get dressed. He wore the same clothes as yesterday, while I went with a black tank top and jeans with a leather jacket. I tied my hair into a ponytail.
"So do you think that he might be at the school?" Jeremy asked me.
"Maybe." I replied. "I think it should be the first place that we check because I won't need an invitation to get it."
"So are we actually doing this?" Jeremy replied. "Letting all of those vampires out doesn't seem like a very good idea."
"They can't just walk out of there." I responded. "They've desiccated, which will prevent them from being able to move. I'm not going to let you get hurt, though. Trust me when I say this will all turn out okay."
Cassidy's POV
I took out my camera that I barely knew how to use and headed outside with Caroline.
"So, what are we doing?" I asked her.
"We are going out to the woods to investigate." Caroline told me.
"What are we going to do if one of the animals comes after us?" I questioned.
"I have mace." She explained. "We have to figure out what is making them so aggressive."
"I'm pretty sure that mace will make them aggressive." I pointed out. I was just glad that she thought that it was animals or not anything else.
"So Vicki and Mr. Tanner both had these strange neck wounds." Caroline noted. "We have to find out what kind of animal would go for the neck."
As long as she didn't think vampires, we'd be okay.
"Okay, but I'm meeting with someone later, so I don't have all day." I told her.
"Do you have a date?" She asked.
"No, we're just hanging out." I answered nervously.
Sadie's POV
Jeremy and I went to the school. I wasn't sure if Anna was already here or not. I think having him as a buffer will make Ric more civil and might make me more civil. I needed Anna to get to it first. I wish that I could more time with Cass.
I went into the room and he shot a stake at me, which I tried to catch, but it ended up going through my hand. Fuck, that hurt. I pulled it out and prepared myself to attack.
"Mr. Saltzman, we need to talk to you." Jeremy replied. This is why I wanted to bring him. I went and grabbed his weapon out of his hands.
"Take a seat." I instructed as he did so. I looked over the weapon. "Is this compressed air? It looks like you made it yourself. Who are you? You can trust me. So who are you?"
"I'm a history teacher." He answered. I snorted. "I'm also a historian and I discovered some interesting things about your town."
"Being Van Helsing isn't smart." I told him.
"My wife was a parapsychologist." He answered. He would be so much better off if she was dead. "She spent her life researching paranormal activity in this area."
"Isn't she the one that died?" Jeremy asked.
"Yes, a vampire killed her." The teacher explained. Well that explains why he doesn't like us. It's still pretty racist.
"So I need that journal back." Jeremy stated.
"What do you want with it?" Ric questioned.
"It doesn't matter. It's his." I pointed out.
"It's on my desk." Ric answered.
"No, it's not." I told him as he looked at the desk.
"It was on my desk." He declared. I knew who took it and where it was, but she needed it.
Cassidy's POV
We began to look through the woods. I was glad that I was wearing boots.
"This is Caroline Forbes and I am trying to solve the mystery of the animal attacks." She said to the camera.
"So what do you want post this on YouTube or something?" I asked her.
1864
I watched as our father explained that he wanted Stefan and Damon to help him with the roundup of the vampires. I knew from that point on that I needed to help hide Anna. I would also have to be secretive about it. At that moment, I began to feel sick. I ran as to not be noticed, but soon I was discovered by my friend. I was coughing very loudly and it was hard to see.
"What's happening?" I asked.
"It's consumption: tuberculosis." She told me. "I don't even know if my blood is still in your system."
I was finding it hard to stand before once again Anna began to fill my mouth with it. As soon as I was able to swallow it, I felt my throat clearing up.
"I'm sorry that you have to keep saving me." I apologized.
"I would save you infinitely more times." She explained tenderly. You know I don't think I noticed it before, but I think it's possible that Anna may have been in love with me. I did know at that time that I needed to save her even more now.
Cassidy's POV
After a few hours, we predictably found nothing. I headed home, wondering how long it was going to be before Anna showed up. I wanted to invite her in, even though I knew that she might kidnap me.
Sadie's POV
"How long have you known about me?" I asked.
"It was just recently when I met your brother." He explained.'
"Which one?" Jeremy questioned.
"Which one do you think?" I retorted. Even if I didn't know it was Damon, I still would have been able to guess that.
"Who do you think killed my wife?" Ric asked.
"Are you sure it was Damon?" I responded.
"I saw it myself." He replied as I unzipped my jacket slightly.
"You shouldn't be here for revenge. Damon will kill you, so unless you have some magic way to come back to life, you should stay away from him." I responded. I felt like being cute.
"I just wanna know what happened to her." He declared.
"You said Damon killed her." Jeremy pointed out.
"Well I saw him sucking the life from her, but then he disappeared with her body." Ric told us. "They never found her."
I was surprised that he wasn't able to guess why.
"Do you have any copies of the journal?" I asked him. "If you give it to me, I'll figure out what happened to your wife."
Cassidy's POV
I was having dinner alone because my parents were at a council meeting at a secret function and Tyler…I was pretty sure that he was having sex with some random girl in his room. Does he want to get a disease just to know what it feels like to have one? Anyway, it was a far contrast of what was happening over at the Gilbert. Come to think of it, I don't know why I didn't just go there.
1864
Later in the day, I was with my brothers as we watched Katherine and our father play croquet.
"She's beating me again." He told us. I still don't think I understood croquet.
"You know she seems like she actually likes him." I noted.
"She knows what Father would do to her if he knew the truth." Damon remarked.
"Maybe he wouldn't." Stefan piped in. "I think maybe we should talk to him about it."
"Stefan, he'd probably kill us just for bringing it up." I stated. "Father is set in his ways. It would take something short of her saving his life for him to trust her."
"Please promise us that you won't tell him, Stefan." Damon requested.
"I promise." Stefan vowed.
Present
Ric took us to his locker in the teacher's lounge.
"So do you have any idea who could have taken the original?" I asked for no reason.
"Well I know it was a vampire." Ric answered. "I don't know who they were, but they obviously knew it was there, so it was someone who is familiar with the school."
Cassidy's POV
I finally got a call from Anna around 8:00.
"So do you want to come to the Grill and bring the journal?" She asked me.
"Sure." I replied. "I wish you had called before I ate."
"Well I just got done with my stuff." She explained.
"Maybe we you should just come over here and we can finally have our fright night." I suggested as I left to go to the Grill.
Sadie's POV
Jeremy and I finally made it back to his house. He used his key to open up the door and Stefan, Damon, and Elena quickly came outside.
"Did you get it?" Damon asked.
"No." I lied. "He didn't have it. Someone took it."
"Who took it?" Damon asked.
"I don't know." I replied.
"I bet it was that teacher. There is something off about him." Damon stated.
"No it wasn't him." Jeremy stated. "There has to have been someone else in town that knew about it."
"Well wherever it is, we can't find it right now." I stated. "Maybe we should just go home."
I didn't need to do the Damon feeding his blood to Elena and threatening her because there really wasn't much of a point to it since Anna wasn't going to kill her. How would Anna even be able to kidnap her if she couldn't get into the house?
"Well I'm going to go to the Grill to see if Bonnie is done with her date." Elena replied. Okay, that answers that.
So we ended up going home. Damon was having some liquor and Stefan went out to hunt. I probably needed to get some blood eventually soon, but I could wait a little longer. I needed to talk to Damon right now. I guess I could also have a glass of whatever he was drinking as well. I went downstairs and over to him. I took out a cup and filled it up.
"So I thought you might be interested in seeing this copy that Mr. Saltzman made." I told him. "I didn't want to tell Stefan because I wasn't sure if he wants to open the tomb or not."
Cassidy's POV
I went to the Grill and met up with her.
"If it isn't my favorite 5'2 brunette with hazel eyes in town." Anna joked as she gave a light hug.
"That's pretty specific." I pointed out. "So what do you wanna do?"
"I want to play some pool." She declared.
Sadie's POV
"I found something about Emily." I replied. "The Fells thought that I should look after the witch's book, but George Lockwood graciously volunteered."
"So it doesn't say anything?" Damon asked in disbelief.
"Hold on. I'm pretty sure that I know what to do." I declared as I took out my phone and called Cass.
"Hello?" She answered.
"Hey, did you ever find that journal?" I asked her.
"Yeah, I did. I'm kind of busy right now, though." She told me. Was she with Anna?
"I just need to know if there's anything about the location of a spell book." I responded.
"It said that it was buried with Giuseppe Salvatore." Cass replied before she hung up.
"I guess we need to go visit Dad." I said to Damon as I went to go find a shovel. I don't know if Cass had actually read it, but I was pretty sure that she didn't need to since like me, she knew exactly where it was buried. Okay, I didn't know the location of the grave, but Damon did so that would work.
I kind of wished that it wasn't so cold and muggy tonight. Why were we doing this at the end of December anyway? We were lucky that there was no snow. You know I don't think that I've even seen snow on the show before. Maybe it's because fake snow is incredibly hard to make. I know that they used to make it from asbestos, but that is kind of toxic. Eventually, Damon and I made it to our father's grave and we began to walk up the hill. Not many girls dig up their father 145 years after he died. Okay, none do.
Cassidy's POV
"So do want to head back to my house?" I asked her. "I know it's too late for a marathon, but we could watch something."
"Sure." She replied.
Sadie's POV
We lit some torches and each of us took a shovel. We began to dig the whole by the monument.
"So what's the plan to open the tomb?" I asked him. "I don't think that there's any way that we can convince Bonnie to help us."
"I know a few different witches." Damon explained. "It would just take me some time to contact them. So why do you even care about the tomb? Everyone knows that you hated Katherine."
"That may be true, but you're my brother and I want you to be happy, even though I think you could do better." I responded.
1864
I was currently with Anna inside of her home. Pearl seemed to like me more than she liked Damon and she didn't really know Stefan. I managed to overhear a conversation between them.
"Annabelle, we need to go soon." Pearl stated.
"I don't want to leave Sadie." Anna replied. "We probably have a few more days before they come."
"She's not like us, Annabelle." Pearl argued. "We can't risk our lives for a human. It's bad enough to that Katherine wants to stay for her brothers."
I knew that I didn't want Anna to go. I didn't have the same feelings that she did towards me, but she was my only friend since they weren't many single young females around.
We continued to dig until we hit the box.
Cassidy's POV
"So what movie do you want to see?" I asked once we arrived at my house.
"I don't know if I really have time for a movie." Anna stated as I frowned. "I can't spend the tonight. Maybe sometime later, but not right now. We can hang out for a little while."
"Well do you still wanna come in?" I invited.
"Yes." She remarked. "So this George guy was crazy. All this talk about werewolves and witches and vampires: it sounds like you had a crazy person in your family."
"Well it was probably some weird reaction to being in the war." I proposed.
"So am I ever going to get a chance to meet your friends?" Anna asked curiously. "I mean you do have other friends. You went away to take that call."
"That was Sadie. She's pretty here as well." I explained. "But yeah, you can meet them sometime. I haven't spent a lot of time with them lately to be honest."
"They probably think that you're obsessed with me." She joked. I wouldn't say that.
Sadie's POV
I finally decided to let Damon do the rest of the digging because I didn't feel like getting dirt on my jeans.
"So are you just gonna stand there?" He asked.
"Yeah, you can handle it from here." I replied. "Besides, this way, Dad will just haunt you."
He hit the box and opened it and there was our father's skeleton holding the book. Damon unhinged it
"I think that you need to give that to me." Stefan replied. Well, this was an interesting development.
"How did you find us?" I asked Stefan.
"I found Damon's car out here." He answered. "So how did you find out that it was here and why did you come without me?"
"Because there is no reason that we can't let Katherine out of the tomb." I pointed out. "It's like I told Jeremy, they can't just walk out."
"I can't let that happen." Stefan replied. "It's too risky. I'm sorry."
"Well I'm sorry for ever thinking that I could trust you." Damon replied before he charged at Stefan.
"STOP IT!" I shouted at them. I had picked the book open. They stared at me. "So I'm the one that has the book and I'm going to decide what we do with it. I think that I'm going to keep it until one of you manages to convince me that we should or shouldn't open it."
Okay, so now I was acting more like Elijah than I was Rebekah.
Cassidy's POV
Anna stayed for about an hour before she had to go home. I kind of expected her to kidnap me. I guess she was still going to try to kidnap Elena. I wondered how that would work.
1864
I was with Anna and Pearl as they went to return me home. It was at that point that we managed to find that the townspeople were running around hysterically on their vampire hunt. Pearl went to talk to Jonathan which ended up in her being shot and captured. Emily told us she was going to save all of them, but at that time, I didn't know how.
"It's going to be okay." I told Anna. "Emily said that she'd save your mom."
"I have to go." Anna replied. "Wait for me until I return."
I was about to say something before suddenly, Anna snapped my neck and everything went black.
So we found out how Sadie became a vampire or at least how she died. The rest will be revealed in Blood Brothers. In the meantime, Anna managed to get rto Elena before she got home and she also had feelings for Sadie, which she has since grown past. Please don't forget to review.
