When Cassandra came too she was laying on a couch, she could hear Rose-Marie explain things about the Originals, she almost laughed at the fear she heard, but instead she lay listening to what was said.
"I don't know what's true and what's not true. It's the problem with all this vampire crap, but Klaus I know is real" Rose-Marie explained.
"Who is he?" Elena asked.
Cassandra couldn't help but laugh a little at that. The three vampires attention was instantly on her.
"Who are you?" One of the male vampires asked her and she could almost feel the glare he sent her way.
"My name is Cassandra Mikaelson and you are?" Cassandra asked with a sweet smile.
Rose-Marie blanched and sucked in an loud breath at her last name. Cassandra just kept sitting with her eyes closed and a sweet smile on her face while waiting for them to introduce themselves. One of the two male vampires came over to her and introduced himself.
"My name is Stefan Salvatore, that is my brother Damon and this is Elena Gilbert. Rose-Marie is the one standing over there" Cassandra assumed he was pointing out who was who, not that she could see it, but that was what people usually did.
"Why are your eyes closed?" the one called Damon asked, rather rudely.
"I'm almost blind Mr. Salvatore and my eyes can be quite uncanny" Cassandra answered sweetly.
"Ohh I apologise for Damon, he can be quite rude" the one called Stefan said.
"That is quite all right, you should probably go back to your conversation, I won't interrupt again" she said sweetly "Before I forget, Klaus is not the oldest Original, but he is probably the strongest. I haven't had the pleasure of meeting him yet, Daddy doesn't like to introduce me to potential dangers"
"Who is your Daddy" Damon asks very rudely and quite stupidly, Cassandra have already decided she doesn't like him, he is rude, stupid and he staked her Daddy.
"Who do you think?" Cassandra asks with a raised eyebrow. "Who did you stake right before I went quite mad with grief, if you think hard enough you might be able to figure it out even with your limited brain capacity"
"Elijah" Elena whisper.
"Ding Ding Ding, and we have a winner" Cassandra answered with a sarcastic tone. "I must admit I am very angry at you Damon for staking my Father, but he will have his revenge someday" Cassandra said.
"He is dead" Damon said, sounding quite smug. Cassandra would have killed him if she could, but it was important that he stay alive, for now at least, but she would keep a lookout for when the perfect time for her father too come back from the dead would be, so she could help him put Damon in his place. Instead of any threat she could cast at him she simply said.
"Yes, he has been dead for many centuries. Is there something to eat here or should I just wait to die of starvation, you are really not the best host's I have ever had and I'm quite hungry"
"I will get you something to eat when we are done here, okay?" Stefan asked.
"I can wait that long" Cassandra answered "This conversion won't take so long anyway" she said under her breath with a sly smile.
Damon stared at her intently, she sounded like she knew exactly how long it would take. He shook his head, he was over thinking it.
Cassandra sat thinking about her next move, should she reveal some stuff for them or just let them walk in blind, she would let them walk mostly blind, perhaps give them some hints, but nothing to extreme, she didn't trust them not mess up the future.
When she focused back on the conversation, Elena was about to leave and Stefan tried to follow, but was shot down. Cassandra really didn't see what he and his brother saw in her.
"She's in denial" Damon said to Rose-Marie. How could they not hear the undercurrent of deceit in her voice, Cassandra wondered. Elena had a plan and the boys were to much in love with her to hear it.
"Shut up Damon" Stefan said.
"Could I get something to eat now?" Cassandra asked.
"Of course, just follow me to the kitchen" Stefan said and started walking out of the room.
"You are going to have to guide me, I can't see, remember?" she said, sounding a little put out, she wasn't used to having to remind people that she couldn't see.
"Of course, how should I guide you?" Stefan asked.
"Let me hold on to your arm and tell me if the is something in my way or a step or something" Cassandra explained.
When Stefan and Cassandra arrived in the kitchen, Stefan pulled out a stool for her to sit at the counter while he started making her a sandwich.
"I hope a ham sandwich is okay?" Stefan asked handing her the sandwich. "I forgot to ask what sort you would like, you are not allergic to anything right?"
"That sounds delicious and I have no allergies, my Daddy had me checked very thoroughly when he found me" Cassandra answered with a smile when she remembered how completely out of his depth Elijah was with a five year old running around with lots of energy an very bad eyesight.
"Found you?" Stefan asked sounding interested.
"He found me in the woods near his house when he was going out hunting, my foster parents were about to bury me alive when he came and rescued me from them" Cassandra had an very happy smile un her face as she remembered it. "It was probably the best night of my entire life"
Stefan looked at Cassandra in shock.
"Why where they trying to kill you?" Stefan asked.
"I have a gift, I know things, see things that have happened, do happen and will happen. Basically I know your past, present and future, my foster parents couldn't handle it, they thought I was a monster, so they decided to kill me, but since they didn't want blood directly on there hands they decided to bury me alive. I still don't quite get there logic"
Suddenly Damon was in the room, his face right in front of Cassandra's.
"So you can tell us how to protect Elena" he stated.
"I guess I could, but I wont" answered Cassandra with a little smile.
Before she could even take a breath to explain her statement, Damon had her by her throat against the wall, her eyes snapped open in shock. Damon noted absently that they were a beautiful silver colour with almost no pupils.
"What do you mean you wont?" Damon roared.
Cassandra tried to speak, but she could get almost no air to her lungs.
"Let her breath Damon" Stefan shouted, though Cassandra noted he didn't come to her rescue.
Damon's hand loosened a little so she could get some air to explain.
"Right now" she started, then coughed a few times. "there is a bigger chance of her surviving, IF I don't tell you anything"
"What do you mean?" Stefan asked.
"Would you be able to trust me enough to let me make all the decisions for you two and Elena and maybe even ask you to put her in danger at a moments notice. Like for example lets say we are standing at a cliff and I tell you too throw her off that cliff. Would you do it?" Cassandra asks.
"Of course not" Damon answers intently.
"Ohh and now she is dead" Cassandra says in a cheerful tone.
"What!?" both Salvatore brothers explodes.
"There some shooters in the woods surrounding the cliff and they gunned her down because you didn't listen. The future always changes, so every time I do something everything around me changes. I'm like that stone that is thrown in the pond creating ripples. Right now she has a better changes of surviving than if I interfere, because you wouldn't be able to do as I say, and to be quite frank. I don't like Elena enough to change everyone's fate, she will cause enough trouble as it is, all the people that have to die to keep her safe and for what?" Cassandra looks at them angrily "Who are you to decide how many lives her life is worth. You don't even know all the people I have to sit by and watch die, just so you can save your precious little Elena, lives I would have liked to have saved"
"You talk like you know them, who is going to die, why can't we safe them?" Stefan asks.
"Because if I change any of it, some of the bright future I see might not happen. The easiest way for things to go great, is to just hand Elena over. Then only three people will die, instead of all the others that will suffer because of her and your actions" Cassandra states angrily.
"We wont let her die" Damon states angrily.
"Then let their deaths also be on your conscience" Cassandra gives a sigh "I wont help you because you wont do as I say and if I give you clues you will get even more people killed with the actions you would take. Do you understand?" she asks tiredly.
Cassandra can feel Damon is about to demand answers again, but Stefan interrupts him before he has a chance to say anything.
"I understand"
"What!" Damon demands angrily.
"She can't tell us because we don't trust her and would act to late or change things that must happen" Stefan summarises.
"But what about Elena" Damon asks angrily.
"Would you event trust anything I say?" Cassandra asks. "I could tell you everything and you would probably try to get her out of town, then Klaus comes kills all the people she loves, tracks her down and kills her, while she dies she curses you with her last breath, I have seen it. There is no outcome where someone doesn't die, I have just chosen the only outcome where most people come out alive. Don't you get that?" Cassandra yells at Damon. "and while we are talking about outcomes" Cassandra continues, calming down a little "who ever said I was on your side? I'm on my side, I'm on the side that protects the people I love, and I must say I'm quite tired now so if you could show me to a room I can rest in, that would be nice" Cassandra directs the last at Stefan.
Cassandra can just feel Damon's hostility, luckily enough Stefan chooses to guide her to a room where she can rest.
