I'm very, very sorry, but I'm afraid I won't be able to update tomorrow.
That's also why this chapter is LONGER than the previous ones:)
This chapter's song is definitely "The Point of No Return" from "The Phantom of the Opera" by A. L. Webber
(I love especially the movie version,
with Gerard Butler as The Phantom/Erik and Emmy Rossum as Christine Daae):):)
As I said, I'm not native, so if anyone would like to become my BETA reader,
I would be very grateful:)
Here's the Sixth Chapter of O&O!
Cassie's taking action!:):)
Please, R&R!:)
Chapter 6
The Point of No Return
Klaus
Banging at the door makes Klaus look in its direction. Is it one of the Salvatore brothers, trying to ruin his plan? Then there is a voice from the outside.
"Klaus, I know that you're there. You son of the bitch, open the door!" Cassie's yelling at him. He grins like a Cheshire cat. That's exactly what he's been waiting for! Slowly, he walks to the door and opens it, seeing very furious and at the same time, very beautiful Cassie in front of him.
"Well, hello, love. It's very nice of you to come around." He's amused, observing that she's nearly trembling with anger. She doesn't wait for the invitation and just enters the apartment. Then she turns around and comes very close to him, glaring at him.
"Leave Jenna alone!" she shouts at him. Klaus doesn't seem to care at all.
"You're in no position to tell me what to do, love. You've had your chance yesterday and you decided to turn it down." He's still smirking, but his eyes are cold, icy-blue. He notices she wants to tell him something but then changes her mind and decides to do something else.
"I didn't have any chance at all! Even if I wanted to come to you, they would make me refuse!" He stares at her, confused. That allows her to continue. "That's why now, knowing that you won't leave Elena, I want you to at least let Jenna go, still human." He can hear her sweet voice shaking at the end.
He needs to hear her telling him what he wants.
"So what's your offer exactly, darling?" He narrows his eyes, waiting for her to capitulate.
He can't take his eyes away from her as she's taking a deep breath and firstly biting her lip, then licking it, before saying something. He has the instant urge to feel once again those sweet, full, pouty lips on his. No, he has to wait. There will be the right time and place to do that.
"If you let Jenna go, I will stay with you, as you wanted." He wants to say something and instantly smirks triumphantly, but she stops him with her hand. "On three conditions." Her stormy-grey eyes are piercing his, icy-blue.
Klaus raises his eyebrows in amusement. "Three conditions? As I said, you're in no place to make any demands, love." Yet, he was already prepared for that. He knew that she wouldn't give up without a fight. He can see the unshed tears of anger in her eyes and that's what makes him say: "But I think we can hear them, at least." He knows he's already won. He can make some concessions, after all. What's most important, he will have her back. He will have back the only light in his darkness.
Cassie hesitates only for a moment. "One: I want you to promise to keep my family and friends safe and to never hurt them." He could promise her that, so he nods almost imperceptibly. After all, it's not him who could hurt them later on, he can have someone to do that for him. "Two: I know you want to turn me to a vampire, but I want to wait with that… let's say, five years."
"I can give you a year, darling." He retorts, waiting for her reaction. She stops for a moment, but then nods.
"As you said, I'm not here to make demands. I was counting for at least two years, but OK, let it be a year." He can see her shaking a little, while she realizes she would have so little time left as a human. Still, it doesn't make her stop. "Three: I want you to promise me you won't make me have sex with you." He notices that she hesitated a little before she said that.
If she wasn't so dear to him, she would be dead already. Klaus is instantly filled with anger. It takes all the control he has left to respond her with a seemingly calm voice, even with mockery. "I didn't know that you're taking me for a man who would force himself on a woman." Anyone else would already got freaked out by the flashes of fury in his expression. Anyone but Cassie.
"I don't know you enough to know if you're such a man or not. Maybe Nik wouldn't do that, but Klaus? I have no idea." She responds him boldly, fearlessly. He cannot do anything but admire her bravery. "And I think you cannot expect me to jump into bed with you right after you kill my little sister."
Once again, he nods almost imperceptibly. "Very well. I can agree to those terms. I let Jenna go, in exchange you stay with me no matter what and in a year you let me turn you so that we could be together as long as it pleases me."
Klaus wants to chuckle, hearing her mutter very quietly to herself: "I hope it will end sooner than later…"
"So, we have a deal?" he asks, acting like if he didn't hear her a moment ago.
Cassie nods reluctantly. "We have a deal." She answers quickly.
Then, before she can react, his arms slide around her and he leans down so now their faces are only inches apart, even with her wearing flats and almost nine-inch difference of height between them. Her eyes grow bigger and with her navy blue top on, he can admire how their shade changes from dark grey to light blue. Her heart seems to beat a thousand times per second and her breathing gets uneven and shallow.
"So now I think we can seal the deal, darling." Klaus smirks as her cheeks turn red at the realization of the double meaning of the phrase. He leans down a little bit more and now their lips nearly meet. He stops at the last moment, knowing that it has to be her own decision.
Cassie
I hesitate only for a moment. I know that with 'sealing this deal' I make my fate sealed and connected with his. I close my eyes and my lips finally touch his and now everything is changed. A year ago it was just the same, except the fact that I wasn't aware of who he really is. Now I know it all, and I still feel my legs shaking and my hands trembling. He tastes like bourbon that he must have been drinking and when our tongues meet the world just stops for me. Heat floods through my entire body and I know it's too late to try to back down from my decision. His lips are crashing mine and I can feel his hands roaming over my shoulders, my waist and then my back. At the beginning I want to stand still, to pretend this kiss isn't affecting me in any way, but soon the need in me takes over the control of my body and my hands go up to his face and then to his hair. It was so long ago when we last kissed that way and from the very beginning I knew he would ruin me for any other man. He did and he's doing it right now.
Then the alarm bells start to ring in my head. What am I doing?! Have I lost my mind?! I'm kissing my enemy! Who cares if he's the only man I've ever been with and he can make my body burst into flames with just one kiss?! As quick as possible, which is, as quick as I'm able to take control over my body, I take a step back, breaking the kiss. My breathing is shallow and I'm openly panting. I look up to his face and I see that Klaus is able to control himself earlier than I can. His face breaks into his trademark, annoying, sexy smirk.
"Katherine, love, call Greta. She has to let Aunt Jenna go." His voice is calm and then I realize that we are not alone in the apartment! Oh my God, I remember, they told me Klaus has this whole Katherine Pierce, Elena's ancestor. And she just saw me kissing him! Great.
I look at Klaus who's still smirking and then he puts his jacket on and leans down to look me in the eye and to quickly caress my cheek. "Stay here, Cassie, darling. Don't ever try to run away from me again." Before I can do anything, he pecks me quickly on my lips and when I blink, he's already gone.
"You must be the older sister of my stupid doppelganger, Elena." I hear Katherine's voice from behind. I turn around and see her at the other end of the room. It's unbelievable that she really looks exactly like my little sister and I stare at her for a moment. Then I see the difference.
"And you must be that raging bitch, Katherine, who's not worthy of anybody's attention." I shoot her a death glare and don't care when in a flash she's right in front of me, with her monster face and showing her fangs. "Bad idea. Klaus would be furious if he found me dead when he's back. You would end up dead rather sooner than later." I have a fake smile from ear to ear plastered across my face. She knows very well that I'm right and quickly her face turns normal. I'm not going to worry about her, so I pass her and walk to the fridge to find something to eat.
"You're an idiot if you think you can make deals with Klaus and trust him." I hear her from behind. I turn around and try not to chuckle.
"And who says I trust Klaus?"
If what Stefan told me is true, the Big Bad Original will be dead by the end of the night. I'm sure a part of me that still is in love with him will cry and mourn, but the other me will laugh and cheer. Especially that they told me there is a way to keep my little sister alive even after she'll be killed by Klaus.
If they are not able to kill him and he'll be back, I've promised myself that I'll make his life a living hell and even before this year of me being human ends, he'll free me, happy to get rid of me.
But for now, this kiss we shared that turned me on so badly, made me pass the point of no return. There is no way back now.
A/N: And here it is! The first kiss that I've ever written in English:)
I hope you liked it:) Let me know, because it was really challenging for me:)
I'm not used to write such things in different language than mine:)
Especially that there will be more situations like this one in future chapters:)
Klaus maybe is not forcing himself on women
but that's because he doesn't have to:)xD
