Chapter 21: Conversation

Cassie knocked on Esther's door. Finn opened it, he looked surprised. "I want to speak with your mom, please," said Cassie. "Let her in son," said Esther. Finn moved a side, and closed the door after her, getting out in the process to give them some privacy.

"I wasn't expecting you Cassandra," said Esther. "I didn't expect to come either, I just thought about it," said Cassie looking around. The room was a bit dark, and some herb was burning and smoking nearby. "It will prevent people to listen on us, not even vampires could hear our conversation," explained Esther.

Cassie thought it could help her have sex with Elijah without worrying that his siblings or her father and uncle will hear them, the thought made her smile.

"What did you want to talk about?" asked Esther, taking a seat on the armchair and pointing on the other one for Cassie to sit.

"Nick's father," said Cassie, while sitting down. "You killed Mikael," said Esther. "I wasn't talking about Mikael," said Cassie. Esther stared at her intently for a moment.

"What about him?" asked Esther eventually. "His name, who was he, anything you could tell me about him," said Cassie. "Why?" asked Esther suspiciously. "I want to know," said Cassie innocently. "Again, why?" asked Esther. "I don't understand, why wouldn't you tell me? What harm can it do if you do?" asked Cassie. Esther stared at her for a few more moments.

"Fine. I will tell you," said Esther. "Thank you." Said Cassie.

"His name was Ansel. He was the Alpha of the werewolves' pack that lived in our village when we got here, to the new world, to a better world," Started Esther. She looked like she is in another place, another time.

"Mikael wasn't the same anymore, not after we lost a child in the old world, even that we already had Elijah after that. We already had Finn when we lost our daughter. Mikael was cold, and angry, and distanced and that was when I met Ansel," said Esther. She smiled a little but got quiet, deep in her thoughts.

"How was he?" asked Cassie. "Well, he was beautiful, with warm blue eyes. Strong and powerful, but also Kind and caring and sweet. After a while I found out that I am pregnant, I went back to Mikael telling him that I am carrying his son, and that was it," said Esther.

"What about Ansel? Didn't he want to raise his son?" asked Cassie. She wandered if maybe she is wrong, and Nick's biological father wasn't so different then Mikael.

"Of course he wanted to raise his son, I didn't allow him to. If Mikael would have known back then that Nicklaus wasn't his son, no one could have hid from his rage," said Esther.

Cassie wanted to beat her to death. Nick suffer from his rage for his entire life and for a thousand years after that. He could have been raise by a caring father; instead he got a hateful abusive father that just wanted him dead.

"Did you meet him on the other side?" asked Cassie. "Just one time in a thousand years," said Esther. Cassie nodded.

Finn knocked on the door and walked in with Elena. "Thank you," said Cassie and stood up. "You're welcome Cassandra," said Esther as Cassie walked out of the room and back in to the ball.

"Are you alright, love? You seem like you saw a ghost," said Klaus, offering her his arm, which she took. "You have no idea," said Cassie. Klaus tilted his head in confusion.

"Don't mind me, honey. Where is Danny?" asked Cassie as they walked together in to the ball room. "She went to rest upstairs, she is sleeping now," said Klaus. "Ho, is she alright?" asked Cassie. "Sure, just tired." Said Klaus. "And Elijah?" asked Cassie. "He should be in here somewhere," said Klaus. He gave her a glass of cider and took a glass of bourbon for himself.

"Are you sure you are alright love?" asked Klaus. "Yeah," said Cassie. "Did my mother hurt you? Elijah told me that you went to talk with her," said Klaus. "No, she didn't hurt me, I am fine," said Cassie. "You just seem… shaken, a bit pale even," said Klaus. "Yeah, well it was an intense conversation," said Cassie. "About?" asked Klaus in curiosity. "That for me to know and for you to dot dot dot," she said and laughed when he made a face.

"Here you are sweetheart," said Elijah as he got to them. She kissed his lips. "Here I am," she smiled. "Are you alright? You look sick or something," said Elijah. "I am fine love, don't worry," said Cassie. He pulled her to his embrace, kissing the top of her head.

Klaus and Elijah shared a look; they both noticed that something happened to Cassie, and hoped that she is alright.
