Chapter 5

"What are you doing here?" Elena asked standing up from the couch

"I missed you guys" Katherine replied walking down the two stairs to get to the living room.

Stefan stood up and wrapped his arm around Elena's waist "Katherine what do you want?"

"I heard my wolf was in town and decided to check on him," she answered sitting on the couch where Stefan and Elena had just been sitting

"You know Klaus is still here" Elena told her "and he still is pissed"

"Which is why I'm here and not wondering around town." Katherine replied

Elena turned to Stefan "I don't want her here Stefan" Stefan rubbed Elena's arm with his hands

"Oh get over yourself," Katherine said standing and walking over Damon's bourbon supply "I see becoming a vampire hasn't changed anything"

Elena glared at her

"If I wanted to kill you, you would be dead so chill" she said pouring herself a drink.

Damon walked back into the boarding house to see Elena and Stefan sitting on the couch and across from them was Katherine sitting in a chair

"Well look what the cat dragged in," he said walking over to his drink station

"Nice to see you too" Katherine replied

"What are you doing here Kat?" he asked

"I told your brother that I was here to see my wolf" she replied

"No, what are you doing here" he said gesturing to the house "if you wanted to see Mason go to his place"

" I would but, he is off on some secret town council meeting with the sheriff, the mayor, and somebody else" she started getting up from the chair and walking over to Damon. "Now who was it?" she poured herself another drink "oh that's right" she said grinning over at Elena and Stefan "its your big sister, Cassie right?" she asked

"Whatever you want with her" Elena started to threaten

Katherine interrupted with laughter "save the threats Elena, your not good at them anyway" she took a sip of her drink "besides your sister can take care of herself" she swaggered back to her chair and lounged in it.

"What does that mean?" Stefan asked

"Exactly what I said Stefan." she said.

Elena looked at Katherine who just smirked and took another drink

"Whatever, Katherine can't you see that nobody want you here?" Elena said

"Ok, I'll think I'll go get a bite to eat at the grill" Katherine said standing up "Elena is your brother working"

"Ok Katherine point taken" Stefan said

"How about you stay for dinner?" Damon asked "we are having a party for Cassie and seeing how you seem to know her" he said shrugging his shoulders

"I would love to Damon" Katherine said walking up the stairs "I just need to take a shower, you're welcome to join Stefan,"

Stefan heard the shower turn on and he turned to Damon "what the hell?"

"What" Damon asked?

"Dinner! Damon" Elena said joining with the yelling "you invited her to dinner"

"That's not the only person I invited" Damon said smirking

Stefan looked at his brother "was this person at the council meeting?"

Damon just smiled at his brother.

"Who did you invite?" Elena asked still confused

Stefan tapped her on the shoulder and motioned her to big quiet by putting his finger to his lips then putting his finger to his ear.

Elena nodded that she understood

"Great now that everybody knows" Damon said, "I'm going to get ready for dinner" he said going up the stairs

"Come on" Stefan said grabbing Elena's hand "we need to start on dinner"

Cassie pulled up to the town house. It was actually the Forbes lake house but Cassie knew that the council used it for secret meetings.

She walked in and saw Mason, Liz and Carol waiting for her.

"Liz, Carol, what can I do for you" she asked walking over to where Mason was standing

"I know that you are an excellent vampire hunter" Liz started

"But you don't want me killing your daughter" Cassie asked

"How did you know?" Carol asked.

"I've been keeping tabs on my siblings since I left" Cassie said "and you guys don't have to worry. I babysat Caroline, Liz I would never hurt her, or Tyler either" she said looking at Carol.

Carol nodded in relief

"Its not just them" Liz continued

"Liz" Cassie said walking over to her " I know about everything that's going on in this town, I'm not going to kill anybody, this isn't the middle ages anymore I know that not all vampires are evil"

Liz hugged her in relief that she didn't have to worry about Cassie killing her daughter. Caroline looked up to Cassie and Liz looked at cassie as another daughter.

"Is that why you wanted me out here?" Cassie asked

"Yes" Carol said, "Mason said you knew everything but, I just had to make sure that Tyler" she cut off not being able to finish the thought.

Cassie walked over to Carol and hugged her, "don't worry, I'll do everything I can do to keep him safe, and Caroline," she added looking over to Liz who smiled.

The four of them sat down and talked about the politics of what was happening in Mystic Falls. Until Mason stood up "well, if you want me to look nice for this date we better get going." He said

Cassie laughed and the four of them stood up. They walked out to their cars when Cassie heard a twig snap. She jerked her head up and looked at Mason who had heard it to. "Grab your chains," she said before walking back in with the mayor, Liz and Mason bringing up the rear.

Everyone was at the Salvatores with the exception of the originals and Cassie. Needless to say no one was happy about Katherine being there.

"Jer. Are your sure Cassie said she was on her way?" Elena asked

"Yes Elena" Jeremy answered her question… again

There was a knock at the door and Caroline went to answer and Klaus, Rebecca, and Elijah walked in.

"What are they doing here?" Katherine asked Damon terrified

"I invited them," he said smirking walking over to the Originals

"Sorry to crash mate" Klaus said "but I couldn't resist meeting the eldest Gilbert"

Damon shrugged his shoulders "I knew when I told Ric about it, and after you staring at Cassie the entire meeting I had a feeling you would show up"

Klaus looked past Damon and saw everyone there including Katherine "ah Katarina, fancy seeing you here"

Katherine shrugged her shoulders while she drained her drink "Cassie and I are close friends" she answered

Rebecca went over to talk to Matt and Jeremy while Klaus and Elijah joined the Salvatores and Elena in their conversation.

"Stefan I'm worried" Elena said, "Cassie is irresponsible but she is never late"

"Elena, chill" Damon said "I watched your sister take down a vampire by herself today, she is fine"

That tidbit of information spiked Klaus's curiosity

"What do you mean?" Elijah asked interested

"Some new vampire killed someone and stuck around to see the show, he snuck up on Ric and she took him down and staked him," Damon answered remembering how amazing Cassie had been while doing it.

"Yep she saved my ass" Ric said joining in their conversation. "Where is she I would like to thank her"?

"Probably still at the bar" Elena replied irritated with her sibling.

Klaus pulled out his phone

"Excuse me I need to make a call"

"Ya boss what do you need?" Came the voice at the other end

"You still tailing her" he asked

"Yes"

"Good, attack her, don't kill her but make sure you bite her"

" Ok"

Klaus hung up the phone and walked back to the conversation

"Still no word" Klaus asked concerned

Elena didn't answer her concern clearly on her face

"She isn't even in town a day before she gets in trouble," she said to no one in particular.

She walked into the kitchen with Stefan following her. Damon and Ric went over to talk to Caroline and Bonnie.

Elijah turned to his brother "who did you call?" he asked

"Now brother it was just business" he said grinning

"Klaus" Elijah started

"Oh save your rant for later," Klaus said, "this is a party after all"

AN: Thank you so much for the love you guys have been showing me!
