Chapter 29
Damon woke up to see Cassie laying her head on his chest and she was still asleep.
Damon played with her hair. He smiled as the memory of what they did last night still fresh in his mind.
"That's a good look on you" Cassie mumbled.
Damon looked down at her with confusion.
"Smiling" Cassie clarified. "I like it when you smile"
"Well, you gave me a reason to smile" Damon said
Cassie didn't say anything and the two lay in the bed.
Damon moved his hands from her hair to her body.
Cassie looked up at him and kissed him again. Damon returned it as he rolled on top of Cassie. He trailed kissing down her jaw till he reached her neck. One of his hands stared tending to her breast as he continued kissing down her collarbone.
Cassie ran her hands over his chest and made her way to his hair. She tugged the ends.
"Damon" she moaned as he switch his attention to her other breast.
He continued his trail of kissing to her stomach and then he stopped, he saw her scar that ran across her lower stomach starting on the left side.
He stopped and leaned back on his knees.
"How did you get this?" he asked his finger trailed across the scar.
Cassie looked down at the scar. "It's a long life changing story," she whispered.
Damon looked into her eyes and saw fear, sadness and longing.
"You don't have to tell me right now" he said softly
Cassie sat up and wrapped her arms around Damon. "Its not that I don't want you to hear it, its just that I haven't told anybody the entire story who wasn't involved."
"I understand," he said wrapping her arms around her waist pulling her close. "Tell me when you are ready."
Cassie nodded and laid her head in the crook of his neck.
Damon trailed his fingers down her spine.
"I like this" he said
"What?" she asked.
"It's just you and me, no evil hybrids or crazy curses." He said.
"Or younger sibling?" Cassie teased
"Especially younger siblings" Damon laughed.
Cassie laughed too.
Damon's phone rang. He looked at the caller I.D. and groaned.
"Speaking of younger siblings." He said.
"Hello Stefan" Damon said
"Damon, is it safe for Elena and I to come back to the house?" he asked.
"I don't know" Damon said. "Hey Cassie, can the younger siblings come back home?" he asked her.
Cassie looked at the clock it was 12:30 in the afternoon! "Yes" she said getting off the bed.
Damon groaned "yes Stefan you and Elena can come home." He said before hanging up.
"What are you doing?" he asked Cassie.
"I'm taking a shower and no, before you ask, you cannot shower with me." Cassie said.
"Fine" he said and lay back down on his bed.
She quickly finished her shower and wrapped a towel around her. She left the bedroom and found Damon still on the bed.
"Go take a shower" she told him.
"Mam yes mam" he mocked and walked into the bathroom.
Cassie looked around the room and saw her clothes all scattered around Damon's bedroom. She laughed and decided to get clean clothes from Katherine.
She grabbed a white halter tank top and some dark jeans with some white high heels.
Damon quickly showered and got dressed. Wanting to spend the last few moment of peace with Cassie. He looked around his bedroom and saw that her clothes were gone and so was she.
Disappointment came rushing through him, she had left.
"Yo, Damon" she called from the kitchen. "Do you want some eggs?"
Damon smirked and blurred down to the kitchen.
He stood in the entryway and watched her; he decided then that he loved her in white.
"Its rude to stare" she teased
Damon blurred behind her. And wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Just admiring the view," he said.
Cassie rolled her eyes. "Wow" she said, "how many times have you used that one?"
"Five or six" Damon said
Cassie rolled her eyes and she stepped out of his embrace and placed the plate of eggs, two cups of orange juice and two forks at the island.
"Do you remember the first time you had eggs here?" he asked.
Cassie laughed. "Yep, I had stuck a stake into Klaus and took off to a bar."
"I knew after that we at the very least be friends" he said taking a bite from the eggs. "That would make your total what two?" she teased.
"Yep, you and Alaric" he said.
Cassie chocked on her OJ "oh my god" she sputtered.
"Alaric" Damon said.
"My dad" she whispered.
"I just slept with my best friend's daughter" Damon whispered.
Cassie smiled and tried to keep her laughing silent.
But she couldn't hold it in anymore. "He is going to kill you," she laughed.
Damon glared at her. "Yep, he sure is" he said.
"We should tell him," she said. "Before he finds out from someone else"
Damon nodded "meet the parents" he said, "That's a first"
"Well if it will make you feel better you have technically already met him." She said.
"And killed him, twice" Damon said eating another bite.
"What do we tell him?" Cassie said.
"I don't know yet but it has to be somewhere public." Damon said.
"I tell you what, you think about what to say and I'll hide all of his weapons." She said.
Damon shook her hand "deal"
Cassie's phone rang. "Its Jeremy" she said "I should take this" she kissed his cheek "see you tonight" she said before leaving
When Cassie pulled up to the boarding house she saw a manila envelope sitting in front of the door. She picked it up and saw her name on it. Frowning a little she picked it up and a silver dagger dropped into her hand.
Fear filled her as she recognized exactly what this was, a warning.
Cassie turned and got back into her car.
"Hey slut" Katherine answered the phone "is it safe for my ears to go back to the boarding house?" She asked.
"We have a problem," Cassie told her.
"What?"
"Do you remember the first vampire mission we did together?"
"Ya" she answered hesitantly
"Well we need to get the gang back together" Cassie said, "The bitch is back."
Stefan and Elena walked back into the boarding house to see Damon in the kitchen cleaning up their breakfast mess.
"She already has you cleaning" Stefan teased.
"More like she has to go hide all of Alaric's weapons and that's going to take some time." Damon said.
"What?" Stefan asked confused.
"Because you and the Scooby gang are incapable of keeping a secret so we are going to tell Alaric" Damon said.
Elena drank some of the OJ "tell him what that you two hooked up after she brought your drunk ass home?" she scoffed. "That will go over well."
Damon glared at her.
"Elena has a point," Stefan said.
Damon directed his look toward his brother.
"A very poorly worded point" he clarified "but if what happened between you and Cassie is just a one time thing," he trailed off.
Damon nodded that he understood where his brother was going with this. He then looked at Elena sitting at the island, then back to his brother.
Stefan noticed this motion and the two of them went to the other side of the house.
"I don't want this to be just a one time thing." Damon confessed. "But I have absolutely no idea what to do, this is your territory, this whole relationship thing."
Stefan laughed at his brother's lack of charm. "I can't give you a play book for this, its different for each girl." He said. "But I would loose those cheesy one liners you throw at other girls."
Damon nodded.
Stefan's phone rang.
"Hello" he answered
"Stefan" Cassie said, "I need a favor"
"What do you need Cassie?" he asked.
"You, actually" Cassie paused.
Damon glared at Stefan.
"What she means" Katherine said taking the phone from Cassie "is that we need you to meet us at the grill in ten minutes, by yourself, no brother who I know is listening and defiantly no mini me"
Stefan looked and Damon who shrugged his shoulders.
"Ok see you in ten" he said before hanging up.
"What do you think is going on?" Stefan asked his brother.
"I have no idea," Damon said. The two brothers walked back into the living room. Stefan kissed Elena on the cheek then grabbed his jacket and left.
"Where is he going?" Elena asked.
Damon ignored her and just went to go get himself some blood.
"Damon" Elena screeched, "Where did he go?"
"Elena, vampire" he said "I heard the first time "
"Then why didn't you answer me?" she said.
"Because I don't know" Damon said, "Katherine and Cassie needed to talk him."
"So you let him go off with Cassie and Katherine!" Elena yelled.
"I cant control him Elena, he is a 162 years old." Damon said.
"And the fact that Cassie called him and not you doesn't bother you?" she asked.
Damon stopped. Why had they called Stefan and not him?
"We should go" Elena said walking close to him "we don't want Stefan to steal your girl away… again"
Damon looked down at her.
Elena ran her hands up his chest and then rested then around his neck. "Doesn't it bother you that Cassie is keeping secrets from you?" she whispered.
"Elena" Damon said.
"Yes" she purred.
"Why now?" he said. "You had a year to decide to be with me, why now?"
"I didn't know how much you meant to me before I lost you." She said softly.
"I told you to make a choice," he said.
"And I did," Elena said, "You, I choose you."
Stefan made it to the grill and Cassie was standing there.
"Hey Stef thanks for coming" Cassie said.
"What's wrong?" Stefan asked.
"Not here" Cassie said "we are waiting on one more person."
Cassie nodded her head into the grill and Stefan saw Klaus and Kol at the bar. He nodded.
"Lets get food" Stefan said.
"Ok" she said.
Katherine came walking over to them "so Daniel will be here in ten minutes. And I know you don't want Damon to be involved, but"
"He needs to know" Cassie said agreeing "its to dangerous"
Katherine nodded and blurred over to the boarding house.
"Cassie is everything ok?" Stefan asked
Cassie turned to him before they walked into the grill "what do you remember about the twenties?" she asked.
I'm with your sister" Damon said.
"No, you slept with her there is a difference" Elena said. "Besides we all know that she was just a distraction, in fact even Cassie knows that." She started to kiss his neck. "You won, Damon you finally won," she continued.
"Your right" Damon said.
Clap clap
"You know you almost had me fooled." A voice came from the top of the steps.
The two broke apart.
Damon looked up and saw Katherine standing there.
"Katherine" Elena said.
"Now I expected this from you" Katherine said looking at Elena "because you're a bitch. But you" she said changing her look to Damon. "I would have never thought you were capable of this."
"Kat" Damon started
"You know what, we have bigger problems then how you just broke Cassie's heart" Katherine said. "We need you at the grill" and she blurred away.
Cassie saw Daniel walk into the grill and waved him over.
"Hey Danny" Cassie said, "This is Stefan. Stefan Danny"
Stefan gave his usual nod of hello.
"Not that I don't love getting the gang together" Mason began
"But what's going on Daniel asked.
Cassie sat a dagger on the table.
"Is that?" Mason asked.
Cassie nodded.
"Shit" Daniel said putting his face in his hands.
"What?" Stefan asked but Cassie shook her head and put her finger to her lips.
"Lets go" Cassie said.
The four of them stood up and began to leave when Cassie's phone beeped. She looked down at it and read the words Katherine told her. She closed her eyes and read the text again hoping she read them wrong. Nope.
"You ok?" Stefan asked.
Cassie shook her head and handed him the phone.
"Cassie" he said after reading it "there has to be something we missed, I talked to Damon earlier today, he wanted you."
Klaus's vampire hearing picked up on those words and he tuned into the conversation the two were having.
"He wanted Elena," she said.
Just then the three of them walked into the grill.
"Speak of the devil and he shall appear." She whispered.
Stefan squeezed her arm.
Damon not knowing that Katherine told her what had happened walked over to Cassie.
"Hey" he said pulling her into a kiss.
Cassie was shocked and pulled back.
She slapped him and turned to walk away.
But Damon grabbed her hand and pulled her back to him, "what was that for" he asked.
"The basement" Cassie said.
"Look" Damon started to explain "she caught me off guard but we"
"We were nothing more then a very drunken night" Cassie said pushing him away from her. "And I have bigger things to take care of"
She grabbed her keys and Mason and Daniel went with her in her car.
Klaus who happened to hear everything walked over to Damon. "Fourteen hours mate," he said patting him on the shoulder. "You screwed that up in fourteen hours" he walked past them and left the bar.
Stefan looked at his brother and girlfriend. Could he even call her that anymore? No I guess since Elena choose Damon its ex now.
"Kat" Stefan said, "I need a ride" not wanting to deal with that problem at the moment.
Katherine nodded and the two of them left.
Damon didn't know what to say, so he sat down in the booth. Elena sat across from him.
"Damon" she whispered.
"I've messed everything up," he said. "With Cassie and Stefan, I was finally gluing the pieces back together with her help and now all of that has fallen apart."
Elena smirked and took his hand "you just need stronger glue" she told him.
Damon looked her in the eye "your right" he said. "Now come on lets go find out what this problem is."
The two got up and Elena kept holding his hand while they left. But what Damon missed was Elena glanced back and winked at the man who was sitting in the shadows watching
When the gang had made it back to "headquarters" Stefan stopped.
"Ok tell me what's going on he said.
Cassie sat in a chair, "Klaus gave you, your memories back from the twenties right?" she asked
Stefan sat in a chair across from her not sure where this was going. "Ya"
"Good" Katherine added "when you were playing kissing face with Rebecca, Klaus had another sister there remember?"
"Faye, ya I remember her," Stefan said. "She had a twin."
"Robert" Cassie said. "They were the eldest of the family, do you remember anything else?"
"She was ruthless" Stefan said, "I remember one night she got so mad even Klaus seem afraid of what she was going to do."
Cassie put her face in her hands and groaned.
"Why?" Stefan asked.
Cassie put the dagger on the table. "Because with the help of this gang we managed to dagger her and her twin."
"Although Robert wasn't very hard," Katherine said. "Faye however almost killed all of us."
Daniel and Mason nodded remembering that mission.
"And now she is back?" Stefan said.
"Faye is going to want to watch us suffer." Cassie said.
"We should let Klaus know" Stefan said.
"And say what?" Katherine asked. "Hey you know your older siblings and why you haven't seen them for a year and a half? That's because we daggered them and now one of them wants to kill me. That would go over well."
"So what are we going to do?" he asked.
"Well Faye is already here" Daniel added, "I could sense her the moment I walked into the grill."
Stefan looked at Daniel.
"Warlock" Mason told him.
"So a vampire, warlock, werewolf, and a hunter all walk into a bar." Stefan started smiling.
Cassie and Mason chuckled. "Nice one" Cassie mumbled.
"But back to business Katherine said. "what are we going to do with that bitch you still call your sister?"
"Honestly, I would rather not think of her right now." Cassie said.
"Well as much as I hate you sister I think Faye is using her." Katherine said
"Why?" Stefan said.
"Well when she was feeling up Damon she did that thing with her hands that Faye used to do with Mason." Katherine said.
"I loved it when she did that" Mason said
Cassie and Katherine glared at him.
"What?" Mason said
"Boys" Katherine said.
"So do you think she is possessing her?" Stefan asked.
"I hope not because that would a shame because that means I don't get to kick Elena's ass for what happened in the basement," Katherine said.
"I don't think so, Faye wouldn't of had time to grab her" Cassie said.
"Well something is off with her" Katherine said.
"Either way" Daniel said, "we need a plan"
"And we need to lure Faye away from mystic falls" Mason said "we have to much family here"
Everyone agreed.
"I'll call Tyler" Mason said, "he can help."
"I'll call Jeremy and Alaric" Cassie said.
"I'll call Caroline" Stefan said.
Katherine looked at Stefan. "Blondie? Really"
Stefan shrugged "when it comes to planning Caroline is good at seeing if we missed any minor details."
Once everyone showed up Katherine looked at the group. "This is one hell of a group" she commented
"No jokes Stef" Cassie teased.
Stefan smiled.
"So," Caroline said, "what's the plan?"
