Chapter 3

After an hour of catching up Mason and Cassie stood up to leave.

"Come I'll drive you" he said

"Thanks but I have one more stop before I head over there" she replied

Mason nodded his head and the two of them departed.

When Damon got to the Lockwood's house he walked up and rang the door when mason answered it.

"Hello Wolfy" he said

"Play nice" Mason warned "Klaus is here"

Damon nodded that he understood and walked in.

He walked into the meeting room and took his seat

"Well is this everyone can we get started?" Klaus asked ready to get this done with

"Not just yet, Cassie is in town and is coming" Mason said

"Cassie is in town?" Liz asked

"Who is Cassie?" Klaus asked but before anybody could answer him the doorbell rang. "I'll get it," he said rising out of his seat.

When he walked out of the room Damon leaned over to Alaric and whispered to him about the dinner to get to know Barbie Gilbert. Ric said he would be there.

Klaus opened to a girl who had her back to him, she turned around and his breath caught in his throat, here she was with her whiskey brown eyes, her beautiful brownish-red hair hanging to her lower back.

"Hello" she said

"Hello" he said hoping she didn't notice his reaction, "I'm Nicklaus but you can call me Klaus" grabbing her hand to shake it

"Cassandra, but you can call me Cassie" she replied shaking his hand. After their handshake Klaus dropped his hand and walked with her to the meeting room

When she walked in everybody stared it was not very often that Cassandra Gilbert was in Mystic Falls but she just walked over to where Mason sat, and sat on the arm of his chair.

Damon just stared at the girl who attacked him this morning. She was beautiful to say the least but there was something about her, they she sat was guarded and although she gave off and air of indifference her eyes remained alert and aware.

As the sheriff started the meeting, Damon couldn't help but notice that he wasn't the only one staring at her, Klaus was as well. He was staring like he couldn't believe she was here, like he was seeing a ghost.

Liz finished up and Klaus stood to say his piece when Damon heard something faint coming from the other end of the house. He looked around and Klaus heard it obviously, Wolf man heard too, but Barbie Gilbert did as well, she played it off as cool as the rest of them did but her body language changed. Ric looked over at Damon and tilted his head. Damon casually put his hand to his face and tapped his teeth so Ric would understand that it was a vamp.

Halfway through Klaus's news Liz got a phone call. Damon heard with his super vamp hearing that someone had been murdered and his or her blood had been drained. Liz said she would be there soon and tapped Cassie oh her shoulder and the two of them walked out.

Damon was even more confused, how would Barbie Gilbert know more then he did?

Klaus finished his speech and the meeting was over, Damon and Ric drove over to where the body was.

When they got there they saw Cassie talking with the M.E. about the body. Damon walked over to Liz

"Is it a vampire?" he asked

She nodded her head, and the two of them walked over to the body, Damon bent down and was looking over the body when he smelled it, blood, he turned around,

"Where is Ric and Cassie?" he asked Liz

Liz shrugged her shoulders "do I need to send people out to look for them?" she asked

"No, I got it" he replied and left following the smell of blood. As he got closer he heard the sounds of fighting and grunts from Ric as he was hit. Damon started running to them, Elena was never going to forgive him if he let her sister die.

When Damon got there he saw a vampire kicking Ric in the side who was lying on the ground. He was about to jump on the vamp when Cassie came out of nowhere and tackled him. He tried to throw her off but she stayed on top grabbing a stake from her boot and driving it into his heart. She held it in place until the vampire was completely dead then she stood up, pulling the stake from him and putting it back in her boot she walked over to where Ric was.

"You ok?" she asked helping him up

"Ya, that's not the first time that's happened" Ric replied

She laughed and then noticed Damon just standing there in awe of what had just happened.

Damon walked over to the two of them, "your sister wants me to invite you to dinner tonight" he said

Cassie laughed, "ok, I'll be there but right now I need a drink" she said walking away from the two of them "care to join you two?" she asked

"Thanks but I should probably change and take a shower before dinner" Ric said

"I'll join you" Damon said ready to find out more about her.

"Ok" she said and left.

Damon and Ric watched her leave "so that's Elena's sister?" Ric asked

"Yep" Damon said "but somehow Elena down played her vampire hunter skills."

Elijah hurried to find this girl before she got to the Lockwood's. He finally found her right before she knocked, Kol was right she was the exact image of Anita, he needed to get her attention, so he threw a rock. She turned around looking for the cause of the sound. Elijah snuck up around behind her and prepared to grab her when he heard Klaus coming. Elijah quickly blurred away as she turned back around to meet him.

Elijah followed her to the crime scene where he found the vampire who had murdered the man and compelled him to attack her so he could grab her. He didn't count on Alaric being there as well as Cassie being skilled with a stake.

He heard Damon invite her to the dinner party and decided that he was going to make a guest appearance at the party

Klaus watched the sheriff and Cassie leave angry that he didn't get another chance to talk to her. But he heard Damon talking about a dinner party. He got his phone out and texted Rebecca

Dinner tonight at the Salvatores dress up

He left the meeting and walked out when it was over and waited for her reply

Ok see you then

she replied. Klaus put his phone in is pocket and got in his car.

When Jeremy left and Matt followed him to the house.

"Hey Jer. Are you ok?" Matt asked

"Its just this hunter stuff, I'm on edge all the time" Jeremy replied.

Matt nodded knowing how hard a time Jeremy was having with trying to keep his hunter instincts at bay, with his sister being a vampire and all.
