Cassie's POV
So, eventually, the cops had to step in when it came to Vicki's disappearance. The good news was the only people who remembered what would happen wouldn't tell anyone about it. I doubted that they would even interview Damon about it. I was still surprised that he erased Jeremy and Elena's memories of it (even though we only asked for Jeremy's)
We told them what we had rehearsed. I could tell that Diana didn't seem comfortable about it, but it was what had to be done. Honestly, there was no way anyone would believe that Vicki was a vampire anyway.
We met with Stefan outside after we were done.
"So it worked." I stated. "Jeremy and Elena don't remember anything."
"That's how it's supposed to work." Stefan confirmed. "So do you wanna go and talk about it?"
"I can't do this, Stefan." Diana replied. "Every time I look at Matt or Jeremy, I know that Vicki is never going to come home and they won't know why."
"Next time you see Damon, can you tell him that I'm glad that he did it?" I requested after she headed to the car. "By the way, I'm still rooting for the two of you. Diana's just nervous about this, but I think that she'll get over it."
"Well she can make her own decision about it." He told me. "I like her but she doesn't want to be with me, I'm not going to force her to."
"You don't have to worry about that, I'll convince her." I promised.
I then headed home and found that everyone seemed to be in the living room or the kitchen. Diana was moping on the couch and Jenna was moping with her.
"Do you two really think that it's a good idea to mope?" I asked.
"My moping is legitimate." Jenna declared. "I got dumped."
"Well Logan's a jerk." Elena told her. Diana and I both blushed since we knew he was dead.
"Yeah, but he sent me this simple brush off email saying that he was leaving." Jenna explained. "He didn't even have the decency to tell me face-to-face."
"Can you keep it down?" Jeremy requested.
"Why, what are you doing?" Jenna asked as we looked at him at the table.
"Homework." He replied.
"You're doing homework?" Elena asked in disbelief. I didn't see how it was a problem. It generally was a good thing to do your homework.
"Yes and I'm really behind, so I could use less noise." He stated.
"What do you think robot or zombie?" Elena questioned.
"He could be a zombie robot." Jenna replied.
"I don't think zombies could do homework." I remarked. One reason was because they didn't exist.
"He can hear you." Jeremy commented.
Diana's POV
Cassie and I went up to our room. I was feeling tired from having to wake up so early for questioning. I wanted to take a nap.
"You really shouldn't give up on Stefan." She told me. "He loves you."
"I just can't deal with it." I remarked. "Now I want a nap and unless you want to join me, you should leave."
We both got into bed. It was a little bit later that the door opened and there was Elena and Bonnie.
"What are you two doing?" She asked.
"Sleeping so go away." I declared crankily as they entered the room.
"You shouldn't just be lying in bed because Stefan broke up with you." Bonnie declared.
"I broke up with him and I'm in bed because I had to go to the Sheriff's department at 6:00 in the morning!" I shouted.
"Get up. I wanna show you something." Bonnie declared. I sighed as we got out of bed. Bonnie reached on the bed and grabbed Cassie's pillow before she proceeded to cut it up and dump out the feathers.
"Hey, I sleep on that." Cassie stated before she began to cast a spell and the feathers flew back into it.
"Okay, so I was going to tell you I was a witch, but apparently you two already know about this stuff." Bonnie said in surprise.
"Yeah, but I don't know a spell to put my pillow back together." Cassie declared. "If you don't, then you are buying me a new one."
"So why didn't you tell me about this?" Elena asked us.
"I didn't think that the fact that we were witches who accidentally burned down our last foster home was a good conversation starter." Cassie responded. "Can you not tell Jeremy or Jenna about this?"
I then took a shower and changed into a black sweater dress and decided to see Stefan so everyone would just stop bugging me about it. I knew that nothing would come of it, but no one would listen to me.
I rang the bell as soon as I got to the house.
"It's open!" A woman's voice shouted. I didn't have a good feeling about it but it could have been a girl that Damon brought home. I stepped inside and looked around. It seemed to be the same as when I was there before, though I didn't know why I expected it to be any different.
"Hi." The same voice greeted. I looked to a girl with long, blonde hair…wearing only a towel. "What's your name?"
"Diana. Who are you?" I questioned. More importantly, why was she in a towel?
"Lexi, I'm a friend of Stefan's." She explained. I didn't know Stefan had any friends. "He's in the shower right now if you want to wait for him."
That was when I connected the dots and realized that I should probably go home.
"No thanks. I need to get going." I declared.
"I'll tell him you stopped by." She replied as I headed out the door.
I couldn't believe that he had moved on so quickly, even though he had the right to especially since I was the one that ended the relationship. I probably didn't even have the right to be jealous.
I went home and I immediately started to wallow again. I wasn't even sure why I was upset. I didn't even want to be with him. I was jealous and it sucked. I figured that the sun was shining too bright and decided to prepare myself as I stood outside. I began to cast the spell.
"What are you doing?" Cassie asked which caused me to lose my focus.
"I was going to make it rain." I answered.
"You know that we shouldn't control the weather." I told her. "Anyway, we got invited to a party at the Grill tonight. Caroline's rented the restaurant out…for some reason, but we should go."
"I don't think I'm really up to it but you can go if you want." I declared.
"You know you'll probably have a good time." She persisted.
"I'm not going." I declared. "I just want to stay in."
"Okay, suit yourself but no messing with the weather." She lectured.
Cassie's POV
That night, I went to the Grill wearing a baby blue sweater over a white tank and black leather pants with a white hat. I couldn't understand why Diana was so upset she seemed to be in a worse mood than when she left. I then noticed something that definitely should not have been happening.
"What are you doing still talking to her?" I asked Damon. "You're not supposed to be in 10 feet of her."
"It's cute that you think I'd listen to you, Wendy." He declared.
"What did you call me?" I asked.
"Wendy, the little witch." He explained. "Now I have somewhere else to be."
I couldn't believe that he had used such an obscure reference to give me a nickname. I didn't know whether to be insulted or to be impressed. I supposed I could be both.
Diana's POV
I was at home alone. Cassie and Elena were at the party, Jenna was at her study group meeting and Jeremy was at the library. It was kind of boring being all by myself, but I could use the time to do homework…no wait, I had already done all that. I could watch a movie perhaps. I then heard a knock at the door.
I opened it to see Stefan.
"What are you doing here?" I asked him.
"I wanted to see you." He remarked. "Lexi said you came by the house earlier."
"Right, the girl in the towel." I declared.
"Girl in the towel?" He asked before he chuckled. "Lexi's an exactly a girl. She's 350 years old."
"She's a vampire?" I replied. Well, for once in my life, I felt stupid.
"She's my oldest friend and there's never been anything romantic there ever." He added. "I promise."
"Wow, I feel like an idiot." I told him.
"So could I walk you to the Grill?" He asked.
"Are you going to Caroline's party?" I questioned.
"I have to. Lexi's dragging me along and it's kind of my birthday." He answered.
"Wow, Happy Birthday." I stated. "But I think I was going to stay in."
It was only a few minutes after he left that I decided that I wanted to go after all.
Cassie's POV
Stefan eventually arrived at the Grill and I saw him with some blonde girl. There looked like they were enjoying themselves and it worried me.
"Stefan smiles. Alert the media." Damon commented from behind.
"You haven't given him any reasons to smile." I replied. "So who is that chick?"
"That would be Stefan's friend Lexi and no he hasn't had sex with her, but I have." He declared before I backed away. "Does my presence annoy you that much?"
"I tend to get this rash that flares up whenever I'm around you." I quipped.
"You wound me, Wendy." He declared.
"Stop calling me that." I ordered. I wished that we weren't in such a public place so I could cause him some pain.
I then came across Bonnie.
"So do you think that you and Diana could teach me some magic?" She asked.
"Isn't your grandma doing that?" I inquired. "You should probably have her do it. Diana and I aren't experts in any way and we might not even do the same kind of magic."
"What do you mean by that?" Bonnie questioned.
"All I know is that there are different types of magic. I can't even tell you what they are." I explained. "Diana and I have special powers that we inherited from our parents."
Diana's POV
I headed to the Grill and began to look around for Stefan or at least Cassie.
"Hello, Diana." Lexi greeted me again. She had shots in her hands. "Take this."
"I didn't know that vampires could drink." I declared. Though, it didn't make any sense that they wouldn't be able to especially since I saw Stefan eat.
"Oh yeah, it's greatly beneficial since it helps curb the cravings, but also does make for a lot of lushy vamps." She joked. "You know Stefan's never been with a witch before."
"He told you about that?" I inquired.
"Stefan and I tell each other everything." She explained. "That's the benefit of knowing someone for 145 years."
"Well he hasn't told me everything." I told her.
"He will with time. The big step was telling you what he is and the rest will come with time." She remarked. "I know that he trusts you."
"How?" I asked.
"Because he's crazy about you and I also know that things are going to work between you." She added.
"Do you see the future or something?" I responded.
"No, but the love of my life was human. He went through a lot of the same stuff that you're going through now, but it will pass." She declared. "You are going to have an epic love."
"Well thanks for the drink and for the talk." I remarked before she walked back over to Stefan. I couldn't help but wonder if I should have gotten him a present even though I had no clue what to get someone like him. I didn't even know what was in his room.
A little bit later, I met up with Stefan.
"So, that Lexi sure is something." I told him. I then decided to give him a spontaneous kiss. It didn't last very long and we just looked at each other when it was done. However, before we could say anything, Sheriff Forbes came in and grabbed Lexi. Did they think that she had something to do with Vicki's disappearance? We tried to get out but the front door was blocked by a deputy.
"Come this way." Cassie replied as she led out the side exit. I was pretty sure that she had disabled the alarm. We got out in time just to see Damon drive a stake into Lexi's heart. Why did he have to do that?
Needless to say, Stefan was pissed. I had to hold him back.
"Stefan, you can't do this." I declared. "You can't kill your brother."
"Why are you trying to save him?" He asked. "He killed Tanner, he killed Lexi, he turned Vicki and he abused Caroline. He needs to die."
"I'm afraid of what it will do to you." I explained. "You'd have to live with the guilt of killing him and I don't want you to."
"You were right to stay away from me." He declared before he ran off.
"We need to stop him." I told Cassie.
"We don't even know where he's going and he would probably be able to get there before we could." She replied. "All we can do is hope that he listens to you. Though, I'm not sure why WE haven't killed Damon yet. You know he's taken to calling me Wendy."
"I remember when you dressed as her for Halloween." I declared.
"I'm not Wendy." She stated. "We should probably go home."
So what do you think of Damon's nickname for Cassie? Also they told Elena and Bonnie that they were witches. Please don't forget to review.
