"Ug" Cassie groaned curling into Klaus's side "make it stop"
"Its your phone, love" Klaus said kissing the top of her head.
"Fine" Cassie huffed rolling out of bed.
"Damn" she said looking at her phone "something happened, Stefan, Caroline and Matt have called me a thousand times"
Klaus blurred behind her and looked at the phone.
"Son of a bitch" Cassie yelled seeing the message.
"Elena, Damon" Jeremy yelled walking into the boarding house. "I got your message."
There was silence.
"Elena?" Jeremy asked.
Jeremy was thrown to the ground.
He tried to throw a punch but it was blocked.
Before Jeremy could realize both of his hands were pinned and he was trapped.
"Your dead" Cassie's cold voice came from above him, a stake digging into his chest.
"What the hell" Jeremy yelled.
"That's how quick it takes for me to kill you" Cassie said her voice still cold and hard. "You let your guard down for one second and boom," she said digging the stake a little harder.
Jeremy cried out.
"Your dead" Cassie finished.
"That's why I'm training with you" Jeremy said.
"Really?" Cassie yelled, "Because it seems to me, that you're going behind my back with Damon and Elena!"
Jeremy froze "how did you find out?" he asked.
"That's not the point!" she yelled finally getting off of Jeremy.
"The point is that I trusted you!" Cassie yelled "I trusted you to stick with my plan, so you wouldn't get yourself killed!"
Jeremy stood up as Elena and Damon walked in.
"Cassie, we weren't going behind your back" Jeremy said.
"Oh, really, then what exactly do you think you were doing?" Cassie asked.
"Taking back control." Damon said
"Control?" Cassie asked.
"Ever since you got here you have been calling the shots," Elena said.
"So this your plan," Cassie said, "Completely destroy the plan we have worked so hard to make, and go back to being reckless and stupid."
"Oh please" Damon said "we were never reckless and stupid."
"Really?" Cassie said, "Is that why Elena is a vampire? Or how about the fact that you brought Jeremy here in a house where any vampire can enter?"
"That's not fair" Jeremy said, "You come here all the time."
"Because I can take care of myself," Cassie quipped back "because I have been training for a lot longer, and I never let my guard down."
"Oh really?" Damon asked.
He blurred towards here, but Cassie was ready she threw Damon towards the ground and staked him two centimeter away from his heart.
"Really" Cassie growled.
Damon groaned.
Cassie stood up and faced the three of them.
"You called me" Cassie asked, "you needed help and you called me"
Cassie turned around and left the house.
Caroline and Stefan were sitting at a booth,
"How do you think Cassie is taking it?" Caroline asked worriedly
"I think she killed them," Stefan said.
"Stefan" Caroline reprimanded, "I'm serious, Cassie and Elena have deep serious problem, kinda like you and Damon. And after what happened earlier."
"What happened earlier?" Stefan asked.
"Elena, told Cassie that she hated her, and Cassie said after she finds the cure for Elena, she's done." Caroline said sadly.
"I'm sure she didn't mean it" Stefan said.
"Not then, but now? Stefan there is a reason Cassie hardly ever comes here, its too painful. But Jeremy called and asked her to come, only to find out they are going behind her back?" Caroline said.
"They are sisters" Stefan said, "now, I don't know what's going with Elena but I do know that means something to Cass, she is going to fix it. Fix this."
"What if she doesn't want to?" Caroline asked.
"Honestly, if Cassie won't or can't fix this how mess with the cure and Mikael." Stefan replied. "Then no one can."
Cassie walked into the Gilbert house, pissed and angry. She went to her room and pulled out her duffel bag.
Her phone rang.
"Hello" she answered.
"Cassandra, are you ok?" Klaus's voice came out.
"No, I'm not ok" she said pulling out one of her guns and started loading wooden bullets in it. "I'm pissed and I'm angry and if one more person tells me that its Mikael compulsion I am going to scream."
"How about I tell you to calm down and stop loading a gun." Klaus asked.
"Nope, I'm done playing games," Cassie said sliding the clip into the gun.
"What is that suppose to mean?" Klaus asked his voice rising in concern.
"It means that I'm not going to be home for dinner," Cassie said.
"Cassandra"
"Don't wait up for me honey" she finished before hanging up the phone and throwing it on the bed.
Stefan walked into the boarding house.
"Brother" Damon said, "finally come to join the rebellion"
Stefan just glared at his brother. "I'm here to make sure nothing happens to Jeremy." He replied coolly.
"That's what I'm hear for" Elena retorted.
"No, your to wrapped up in becoming human again, and lets face it Damon you're to stuck up Elena's ass to even notice anything else." Stefan quipped.
Damon growled.
Jeremy laughed.
"Fine," Elena huffed "you can help"
"Gee thanks" Stefan replied walking over to Jeremy.
"Look Stefan" Jeremy started.
"Save it Jeremy" Stefan said " I don't have it in me to hear how you have justified this to yourself."
Bonnie was sitting in professor Shane's office.
"I mean who does she thinks she is just coming back into town and taking control like that?" Bonnie ranted.
"Cassandra is intelligent when it comes with the supernatural. You should be wise to trust her decisions." Shane said.
"She doesn't trust you" Bonnie pointed out.
"She's right" Shane said "a mysterious stranger pops out of the blue claiming to know all of the answers to the cure of vampirism. And wanting to raise an immortal being, I'm surprised she is the only one who doesn't trust me."
"You're helping us," Bonnie said
"No, you're helping me" Shane answered.
Bonnie stared at Shane, confusion in her eyes.
"Now, where were we?" Shane asked handing Bonnie a cup of tea.
"Cassandra" Klaus growled throwing his phone against the wall.
"What's wrong?" Rebecca asked walking into the room.
"She is going to get herself killed." Klaus yelled.
"Cassandra?" she asked.
"The rift rats of mystic falls decided to take Jeremy and fight vampires behind Cassie's back" Klaus spat out.
"Oh" Rebecca said. "This isn't good"
"No" Klaus said grabbing his coat "it isn't" he finished before walking out of the door.
Cassandra walked into the hunter's headquarters.
"Oh Cassandra" Vaughn's Scottish tilt rang through the hall "did you miss me already?"
Cassie turned to Vaughn "I need your help" she said.
"What's wrong lass?" Vaughn asked concerned at hearing her tone.
"Where do you want to start?" she asked.
8 hours later.
Cassie walked up the steps to the gilbert house.
She set her bag on the ground and started searching for her keys.
Cassie stood up and turned around she had a stake in her hand.
"Ok" she called "I know you're there"
Klaus blurred in front of her. He took in her appearance, her hair was piled on top of her head and she had dirt and blood on her clothes, arms, and face.
But it was her eyes, her eyes that Klaus noticed and was concerned about.
The bright shining eyes that he adored were dimmed and they looked, worn down and tired.
"Are you ok?" he asked.
"I'm fine," she said looking down at herself "its not mine."
Klaus just nodded.
"Is that all you wanted to say?" she asked raising an eyebrow at him.
"No, that is not all I want to say" he growled out.
"I thought so," Cassie said sitting down on the porch swing. "Ok, I worried you so go ahead"
Klaus started pacing in front of her. "I'm furious, Mikael is out there and you just ran off, I know you can take of yourself that's not what I am angry about."
"Then what are you angry about?" Cassie asked confused.
"I couldn't find you!" Klaus yelled. "I searched everywhere for hours and I couldn't find you"
Cassie stood up and walked in front of him.
"What if you were hurt and dying" Klaus continued "I couldn't have saved you"
Cassie cupped his face with her hands. "Is that it?"
Klaus leaned his forehead against hers "no, I'm worried about you, and no matter how angry I am, I'm more worried"
Cassie sighed, "I'm sorry I didn't tell you my plan I just needed to cool off and get some answers. I'm not use to having to give someone caring enough about me to want a play by play"
Klaus kissed her lightly on the lips.
"And I am not used to this feeling of desperation, but I felt it Cassandra I was desperate to find you, to cover your back so I knew that you were ok. I was desperate and I hated it. Please don't ever make me feel this way again." Klaus pleaded to her.
"I'll try," she promised.
"Don't think I didn't notice you avoided the question," Klaus said, their soul bearing moment over.
"Its cold out here" Cassie countered "lets not"
Klaus pulled her close and blurred away.
"Stay out here" she finished looking around Klaus's bedroom.
Cassie turned back to Klaus, he was smirking.
"Shut up" she said.
"Come on" Klaus said grabbing her hand and leading her to the bathroom.
"Um" Cassie began "Nik?"
"Love, your covered in dirt and some poor souls blood, I'm not letting you in my bed."
"So you're making me take a shower?"
"On the contrary love" Klaus said pulling her flush against him "I plan on you and me taking a bath and talking about what happened today, because if anyone knows about sibling problems its me."
"I'm going to need some wine," she told him
Klaus let go of her and walked over to the counter where two wine glasses and two bottles of wine were sitting.
"Red or white?" he asked.
Damon, Elena, Stefan, and Jeremy walked into the boarding house.
"That was to close" Stefan said throwing his jacket on the couch.
"Oh please" Damon said pouring himself a drink "we were fine"
"Jeremy almost died" Stefan said looking between Elena and Damon "you went out hunting one time and Jeremy almost died. This is why we need Cassie."
"I'm going home," Jeremy said walking out the door "we will talk about what happened in the morning."
"I'll go with you," Stefan said "just to make sure you get there."
Jeremy nodded and the two of them walked out.
Elena turned to Damon, "we're doing the right thing right?" she asked.
"Hey" Damon said hugging her "Jeremy killed three vampires, that means we are three more vampires closer to finding the cure for you."
Elena just nodded and kissed Damon
Cassie was sitting across from Klaus; her foot was on his shoulder as he massaged her arch of her foot.
"Nik, I am never going to leave if you keep doing this" Cassie say lying her head against the edge.
"Is that a promise?" Klaus purred.
Cassie smirked at him.
Klaus leaned forward towards Cassie as she pulled him closer with her foot that was still on his shoulder.
He kissed her as he ran his hands up to her thigh.
Cassie returned the kiss eagerly.
Klaus gripped her thigh and pulled her into the water.
Cassie gasped as water ran into her mouth; she tried to sit back up but, a hand kept her underneath the water.
Cassie looked up and saw that it wasn't Klaus shoving her underneath the water, it was Mikael.
Cassie doubled her efforts to get air but she was slipping into blackness fast.
Cassie shot out of bed, gasping for air. She turned and saw Klaus asleep next to her.
Cassie calmed her breath and pushed her still damp hair out of her face.
She slipped out of the bed as quietly as she could and walked over to the balcony.
She grabbed a book from Klaus's desk and sat on one of the plush chairs that were outside.
She curled up and opened the book.
"That's one of my favorites" Klaus said softly as he set two mugs down next to the chair.
Cassie leaned forward and Klaus slipped behind her.
"Bad dream?" he asked kissing the top of her head.
"Did I wake you?" she asked.
"I heard your heart beat racing, and when you didn't come back to bed I was worried." Klaus said.
"I'm sorry" Cassie said.
"Hey, sweetheart, its alright" Klaus said handing her, her mug.
"Thanks" she said
"Wanna talk about it?" he asked.
Cassie just shook her head and took a sip of her hot chocolate.
Klaus reached his arms around her and picked up the book.
"What makes King Arthur one of your favorites?" Cassie asked as she watched Klaus trail his finger over the cover.
"I think its because Arthur is noble and he invokes such a loyalty and love in his knights, and he is human." Klaus said.
"You admire him?" Cassie asked.
"Very much so" Klaus said.
Cassie opened the book and snuggled into Klaus. "Read to me," she said.
"Tell me what your dream was about, it terrified you, the only time I have ever heard your heart that fast was when I saved you from the Russians" Klaus said.
Cassie took a deep breath and took a small sip of her hot chocolate.
"We were sitting back in the bath tub" she began "and then we started to make out but you pulled me underneath the water."
Klaus tightened his grip around Cassie
"I couldn't breathe and I tried to get air but when I looked up it wasn't you anymore, it was Mikael."
Klaus growled.
"And then I woke up" she finished.
Klaus was silent for a moment.
"I made you that scared" he asked, his voice braking.
Cassie turned to face him. "No" she said firmly taking his face in her hands.
"Nicklaus Michaelson it wasn't you, I am terrified of suffocating, and drowning is a part of that." She said.
Klaus searched into her eyes looking for confirmation that it wasn't him that scared her.
Finding it her kissed her, passionate and eagerly, she returned it just as much.
Klaus pulled back to let her breathe, now extremely aware of how much air she actually needed.
"For I have promised to do the battle to the uttermost, by faith of my body, while me lasteth the life, and therefore I had liefer to die with honour than to live with shame" Klaus started to read.
Cassie leaned her head back and listened to Klaus's voice as she drifted back to sleep.
Cassie rolled out of Klaus's bed to find Klaus gone,
She picked up her phone and saw missed calls and messages.
"Screw it" Cassie said throwing the phone on the bed.
She slipped on a pair of Klaus's boxer shorts and padded down the steps into Klaus's study where he was.
She slipped into a chair as quietly as she could and watched as Klaus painted.
He was shirtless and in low hanging pj pants. His back was to her, Cassie stared and his back, watching as his muscles moved as he made each stroke calculating.
Ten minutes passed and her then her stomach growled.
Klaus turned around.
"Hi" she said shyly,
"How long have you been here?" he asked setting his paints down.
"Like ten minutes," Cassie said shrugging "I hope that it's ok that I was watching."
"You could have said something," Klaus said walking towards her.
"I could have" Cassie said standing up, she wrapped her arms around his neck "but you were busy"
Klaus leaned done and kissed her.
"Good morning" he said against her lips
"Mmm" Cassie hummed "I could get used to this"
Klaus wrapped his arms around her waist "I could too"
Klaus leaned down to kiss her again, but Cassie's stomach growled.
"Breakfast for the human" he laughed.
Cassie blushed.
"What do you want?" Klaus asked.
"Umm" Cassie said hopping up on the counter next to him "waffles?" she asked.
"Waffles it is" Klaus confirmed as he started grabbing the ingredients.
"No, Nik" Cassie said.
Klaus looked at her, confusion in his face.
"You don't have to make them from scratch for me, waffles from a box are just as good." Cassie said.
"Cassandra, as long as I'm around, I'm going to make sure that I can do everything for you, up to and including making anything that you want from scratch." Klaus said.
Cassie smiled, she felt happiness radiate through her, something she hadn't had in a while.
"So we might be in trouble," Cassie said as Klaus went back to making the waffles.
"And why is that love?" Klaus asked.
"Because I had several missed calls from our Scooby gang and I might have ignored them," Cassie said
"Why is that?" Klaus asked
"Whatever they need, has either something to do with the cure or Mikael and I don't leave here and deal with them." Cassie said.
Klaus just smiled and kept on mixing everything into a bowl.
"Is there anything I can do to help?" Cassie asked, "I feel useless just watching you."
"Nope, I have breakfast" Klaus said.
"Fine, but I have lunch" Cassie countered "no arguments"
Klaus laughed "fine sweetheart"
The two of them were sitting in silence Cassie was staring at Klaus; his hair was curling around his ears her eyes traveled down to his neck where several necklaces were sitting.
"Its rude to stare at people" Klaus said after seven minutes of silence.
"Its also rude to ignore your girlfriend" Cassie said smiling.
Klaus dropped the whisk and turned to face her.
His eyebrows were raised; his blue green orbs were holding hope.
They seemed to doubt if this was true, that maybe Cassie wasn't saying exactly what he thought she was saying.
Cassie saw this hesitation and just kept smiling, she nodded her head yes to his unasked question.
Klaus gripped her and the next thing Cassie knew, she was back in his bed. "lets find a way to fix this." He told her.
Klaus was on top of her, he stared down at her, and her hair was splayed out against his maroon sheets.
"Darling, are you sure?" he asked.
Cassie just leaned up and kissed him. "You have proved to me, I'm sure, the only question is, are you sure?" she asked.
Klaus answered her question with a kiss just as fervent as hers. He knew, he always knew that as soon as he could prove to her that he was capable, then he would have proven to himself.
Proven that he could be loved.
He unbuttoned his shirt that was on Cassie slowly, kissing every inch of bare skin each button revealed.
Cassie's hands were running through his hair, her fingernails scraping his scalp.
Klaus had finished unbuttoning the shirt; Cassie sat up while Klaus shrugged the shirt off.
Cassie's arms wrapped around while her fingers clenched at the base of his curls. Klaus's fingers were slipping her bra straps off of her shoulders.
Neither one of them were speaking, both lost in the passion of each other.
Klaus's hands wrapped around her and his fingers trailed up and down her spine, Cassie shivered and Klaus unhooked her bra, throwing it to the side.
Klaus pulled back from her, his eyes lustfully taking in Cassie's body as she started to breathe heavily.
Cassie blushed a little under the scrutiny of his gaze.
Klaus cupped her face "you're beautiful" he said seriously looking straight into her eyes.
Cassie gazed straight back into his eyes.
She nodded and she flipped over, so she was on top of Klaus.
She smirked down at him as her fingers trailed around his body.
She started to his him, light butterfly kisses down his jaw line and further down.
She slipped his pj pants down as Klaus kicked them off of him.
Klaus growled as her fingers started to play at his thighs.
He quickly flipped them back and slowly slid her underwear down.
"Nik" she finally gasped.
Klaus smiled as he finally ripped them away, both of them naked now.
His fingers ran up to her breasts, Cassie gasped as Klaus leaned down and captured on in his mouth.
Cassie arched her back; Klaus smirked as he turned his attention to the other breast, as his hands were still massaging the other one.
Once he was done he kissed his way back up to her mouth. The two of their tongues fighting for dominance.
Klaus positioned himself over her.
"Are you sure?" he asked one more time.
Cassie just kissed him again as he buried himself in her.
Caroline was rushing around the backyard of the Lockwood mansion.
"Caroline" Tyler called out.
"No, Tyler I don't want to hear it" Caroline said.
"I need your help Caroline" Tyler said.
"Tyler, you can't tell me that your un-siring hybrids because then I have to lie straight to Cassie's face and that's not apart of the plan," Caroline said
"There isn't another way, Cassie's plan covers everyone but the hybrids I have to help them." He protested
"Cassie's plan doesn't involve in any backstabbing which means that nobody dies"
"We have to get them free of Klaus's control"
"And you think Klaus is just going to let them go?"
"We have a plan for that too"
"Tyler!"
"Caroline we have an opportunity that we need to jump on, Klaus is distracted and wont see this coming."
"Your plan is going to get someone killed, and I don't want any part of this, lets just take care of getting the cure then Mikael then we can work on the hybrids"
"No, we are doing this my way" Tyler said leaving Caroline alone.
"Ahh" Caroline screamed. "You" she said pointing to a helper.
"Yes?" the girl asked.
"I want these centerpieces at every table, this year is going to be perfect no screw-ups" she snapped.
The girl ran off and Caroline looked down at her clipboard, so far everything was going to plan, and she was determined to keep this pageant perfect.
Klaus pulled Cassie closer to him and nuzzled her neck.
Cassie hummed as her hands found there way back to his hair.
"So much for breakfast." She joked.
Klaus chuckled sending his breath over Cassie's shoulders, she shivered.
Klaus tucked a stray curl behind her ear "your beautiful" he told her looking her straight in the eye.
"Stop" she said playfully swatting his hand away, she rolled off the bed taking the sheet with her.
"What makes you think you can leave this bed?" Klaus asked laying back watching her.
Cassie turned around smirking at him "I'm taking a shower, your welcome to join" she teased as she dropped the sheet walking into the bathroom.
Klaus blurred into the bathroom picking Cassie up as the two of them got in the shower.
"Nik" Cassie yelled. "The water isn't warm yet"
"My bad sweetheart" Klaus said looking down at her "let me find someway to warm you up."
Cassie laughed and pushed her wet hair out of her face.
She reached up pulled Klaus down to her lips.
