Chapter 43
Klaus woke up the next morning on the couch, the fire had died out and there was no Cassie next to him.
Klaus looked around trying to find any sign of the little brunette that had captured him.
A piece of paper fell off of his forehead.
Time to face the music and deal with my sister
Thanks for last night, I needed it.
- Cassie
Cassie had already showered and changed into new clothes when she walked into the boarding house.
Elena and Caroline were talking in the living room.
"Hey Elena" Cassie called "what's two plus two?"
"Four?" Elena asked confused at where her sister was taking this.
"Well your brain works so you want to explain to me what the hell you were doing last night?" Cassie asked.
Caroline's eyes widened and she looked from sister to sister. "I'm just going to go," she said before she blurred away.
"Well!" Cassie yelled
"We were helping" Elena said
"No you weren't, you were causing a scene and drawing attention to yourself" Cassie said "you knew you weren't suppose to be there Elena why did you show up"
"We wanted to help" Elena said
"No, you wanted to be the hero!" Cassie yelled "you and Damon walked straight into Vaughn's operation and put all of those kids lives in danger!"
"I didn't know" Elena began
"Yes you did" Cassie interrupted "we told you, you and Damon weren't needed last night, so answer the question Elena why did you show up"
"I wanted to show you up," Elena said
"So you put the lives of everyone in danger?" Cassie asked.
"I didn't think" Elena said, "I never thought that everyone else would be in danger."
"Elena, you have got to start thinking about the consequences of your actions, you're an adult, hell you're a vampire now, its time to stop reckless." Cassie said.
"Don't talk to me about consequences of my actions" Elena hissed, "I'm well aware of them"
"Then act like it" Cassie said, "start thinking about something else besides yourself."
"Like you do?" Elena asked, "Is that why you didn't come home after mom and dad and staying in school, because you were thinking about everyone else."
"Elena, we've already talked about this" Cassie said, "You know why I didn't come back"
Elena didn't answer her.
"Do you really hate me that much?" Cassie asked, "that you would do something this reckless just to show me up?"
"Its not fair" Elena said, "how come you get to graduate high school and go to college and live a normal life"
"Do you seriously think that being one of the five is a normal life?" Cassie yelled,
"Your still alive" Elena countered, "you get to live, that sounds pretty normal"
"I'm programmed to kill!" Cassie said, "So if that's your definition of a normal life then hell you as a vampire must be living the dream"
"I didn't ask for this" Elena said
"Well you sure as hell didn't stay away from it, you have no one to blame but yourself Elena!" Cassie yelled "but here we are bending over backwards so you can have a second chance a do over and all you can do is think about yourself. Did it ever occur to you how think effects me, how this effects Jeremy?"
"I don't understand" Elena said confused
"We have to kill Elena, in order for the mark to grow and you to get the cure, we have to kill, we have to deal with the blood of people on our hands, all for you!" Cassie said "and here you are walking around and trying to blow our cover at every turn"
"I didn't realize" Elena mumbled.
"Of course you didn't Elena" Cassie said her voice back to normal "God, I don't know what to do with you anymore, I thought after the last talk we had you understood, that you would finally grow up."
"I really thought, you know" Cassie said "I really thought that we could be close again, but with you trying that thing with Faye and now this"
"Cassie" Elena said, "I'm so sorry"
"No, don't say it" Cassie spat out "don't say it, I know you don't mean it"
"What are you going to do?" Elena asked
"Honestly, I don't know I was planning on kicking your ass, because talking to you obviously isn't doing a damn thing, but I'm tired Elena, I'm tired and I'm done. You're my sister and all I ever have tried to do is what's best for you. And you hate me" Cassie said softly. She turned and headed towards the door.
"Elena," Cassie called softly "once we have the cure, and you have your life back, are you going back to all of this? Right back to the exact place you were at before you became a vampire. Because if you are ask your self how long your going to last as a human this time?" she finished and walked out of the door.
Elena watched her sister leave, her words were still ringing in Elena's ears.
Elena ran out of the house and ran straight to Caroline's house.
"Hey Elena" Caroline said answering the door. " What's wrong?"
"Cassie and I had a fight Care" Elena whispered.
"Oh sweetie you two fight all the time" Caroline said "but you guys fix it and move on"
"I don't know Care, this time it feels different" Elena said, "She said she was done"
"Done?" Caroline asked, "What else did she say?"
Elena and Caroline walked in Caroline's living room.
"She said that I don't think about the consequences to my actions, that I'm reckless, and that this is my fault" Elena said.
"Well, it is" Caroline said, "I wouldn't have put it that way, but she's right"
"What?" Elena asked
"Elena, you being a vampire that's your fault, you chose to stay in the supernatural world, you need to accept that and stop blaming everyone else" Caroline said.
"God, Caroline I wanted you to make me feel better," Elena said
"You know what, no" Caroline said "that's all everyone has tried to do since you became a vampire, its time to face the truth Elena"
Elena was quiet for a while "what's wrong with me?" she finally asked turning to Caroline. "Why am I so different as a vampire"
"We think that maybe you and Damon are being compelled or there is a spell over you guys" Caroline said.
"Compelled?" Elena asked, "Why would any one compel us?"
"We don't know why" Caroline said "but you have to admit that you and Damon have been living in your own little world while everyone else is trying to get this cure"
"I don't want lose my sister Caroline" Elena said
"Then you need to grow up" Caroline said, "You need to realize that this is the life you chose and deal with it."
Cassie was sitting in the Grill; she had a plate of fries and a beer in front of her.
"Well you look troubled" Stefan said sliding across from her in a booth.
"I'm thinking" Cassie said
"Care to share?" Stefan asked grabbing a fry from her plate.
"I talked to Elena today" Cassie began "about her and Damon ruining our mission"
"Oh, was it productive?" Stefan asked
Cassie shook her head "she hates me Stef. "
"She doesn't hate you Cass" Stefan tried to comfort her.
"Ya, she does, she doesn't think its fair that I got a "normal high school" experience and she is a vampire" Cassie said as she took a swig of her drink.
"You also didn't date a vampire," Stefan said.
"I told her the same thing, more or less," Cassie said.
Stefan raised an eyebrow.
"Ok, more" Cassie said.
"Is that the only thing bothering you?" Stefan said.
"Why Elena?" Cassie asked, "Why compel Elena and Damon?"
"I'm been thinking the same thing, no one can figure it out" Stefan said
"That's what I mean, assuming it was Mikael, what does he gain from putting the two of them together?" Cassie asked.
"That's what we can't figure out." Stefan said
"Ok, so with Elena and Damon together, that leaves you single" Cassie said.
"It leaves you single too" Stefan said eating another fry.
"What?" Cassie asked.
"It leaves you single too," Stefan said again "this only happened after you and Damon got together"
"Your right" Cassie said, "it leaves me single"
"Not that you stayed single for long" Stefan said "Klaus swept you up pretty quickly"
Cassie dropped her fry that she was holding "oh my god" she said looking up at Stefan.
"What?" Stefan asked
"Stef, getting Elena and Damon together, left me single so I could get together with Klaus." Cassie explained "Mikael said that I was apart of his plan since I arrived here."
"So what if Mikael's plan is involved with you and Klaus together." Stefan said.
Sheriff Forbes got out of her car and walked towards the crime scene. "What's the situation?" she asked.
"You're not going to like it," the deputy said walking with the Sheriff towards the body.
"It's the medical examiner the deputy said pulling back a sheet.
"Is that a stake in his chest?" Sheriff Forbes asked.
