Chapter 9
Bad
Cassie
With my eyes wide open I watch Klaus as he's pouring some of his blood into a small bottle and then me makes Stefan finish the whole blood bag. Yuck, it's just disgusting! They drink blood like if it were a water. I try to stop Klaus, to ask him for showing him some mercy, but this time that jerk keeps ignoring me, focused on his present victim. Horrified, I watch Stefan, taking another blood bag that Klaus gives him, and the third, fourth, fifth, until that bastard, my ex, allows him to stop. And only to accept the deal he's offering him. And what a deal it is! Ugh, I could even think that what's he's offering Stefan is a lot worse than what was our deal. Poor Elena's boyfriend! He's got to leave town with us, being this… horrible 'Ripper' Klaus calls him.
And, what's worse, he doesn't even let Stefan go and save his brother, but compels… Katherine to go and do that. I see the despair in Stefan's eyes and understand this feeling.
Watching Klaus The Monster in action, I instantly come up with some ideas of punishment. Making him promise to not drink from humans? Making him not using compulsion on people? But then, I get it that my influence on him is very limited and just like that I can't expect him to do such thing. But what if I could torment him in the other way?
I take a page from the notebook I've got in my bag and start to write. I title this list: "Things to make Klaus's life miserable" and right away I feel better and slightly smirk to myself.
Later
Klaus takes us both to some warehouse where… he puts Elijah's body into a coffin and I can see that there are some caskets more he's keeping here. I keep quiet, inside laughing out loud and planning my first move in my big plan of taking a revenge on Klaus. Unfortunately, he notices that and suddenly he's right beside me, sending me fake concerned look.
"You're very quiet, my dear…"
I raise my head to look him in the eye. "Oh, now you're not ignoring me? Great. Well, you see, I'm quite busy. Texting Caroline and stuff…"
He narrows his eyes. "So maybe I should take away your phone so you could focus on the world around you…"
Immediately I put my phone close to my chest so that he couldn't steal it from me. "I guess that saying 'the world' you mean 'you', right?" I can see his smirk and I know I'm right. I shake my head. "You can't take away my phone. You know very well that I can't live without my electronic devices, so if you don't want to end with a wooden stake in your stomach, better try not to mess with me." I send him defiant look, not carrying at all about what he thinks about me now.
Well, if I thought that saying this I would make him angry, I was wrong. He instantly grins like the Cheshire cat. And, what's worse, he leans down so our faces are dangerously close to each other.
"It's a promise or an invitation, love?"
I've got to fight very hard to stay calm and not show the flush of excitement that I feel, seeing his hungry eyes. "Keep calm, Gilbert! Stay focused!" I say to myself. I take a deep breath and try to walk out of the warehouse, but he grasps my hand before I can take one step.
"And where you think you're going, darling?"
I roll my eyes. "Don't worry. I'll keep my word and don't run. I just have to walk outside, I'm allergic to dust." Yeah, right! It's just that I have to take some more deep breaths to fight the instant urge to jump on him and kiss him or to just slap him.
He eventually lets me go and right after I leave the warehouse and continue to text Caroline and Elena. Thank God, Katherine actually showed up at the boarding house and she brought Damon the cure. At least Stefan's sacrifice isn't for nothing.
Then I hear woman's screams from the inside and I run into the warehouse to see… Stefan ripping some girl's neck and draining the blood out of her body. I can just stop and disbelievingly stare at him, open-mouthed and wide-eyed.
"You see, darling? That's the real Ripper!" Klaus walks to me and I can hear satisfaction in his voice. I turn my eyes to him.
"What's wrong with you, Klaus? Who is that heartless, soulless monster in front of me?" Am I wrong or do I really notice a flash of hurt in his eyes when I'm saying that?
"That's the real me, sweetheart – Klaus, The Big Bad Original Hybrid who killed your sister." His eyes become cold, distant. I can feel he wants me to hate him that moment. Guess what, bastard? I already do!
"You say that to scare me, to make me do what you say." I say recklessly.
He seems curious about something. "And yet, you're not scared." I suppose it's not a question, but rather an observation. I realize he's right. I've never been scared of him.
"And I can assure you, I'm not going to do what you say." I hope I sound braver than I really am.
He narrows his eyes. "I could make you obey me."
Oh, this time I'm the amused one. "And yet, you're not doing that." I paraphrase his words. "Why?"
I almost jump when he runs his finger down my neck and then my shoulder.
"Maybe I want you to come to me willingly. Maybe I want you to be aware of who I really am, when you decide to give us the second chance. Maybe I want it to be real." I'm shocked when he decides to tell me the truth. But not for long.
"And maybe you're hallucinating. And you're not even saying 'if', but 'when', like if you're sure that I would give in to you eventually. Dream on, you monster!" I turn around and again leave the warehouse, holding tears that are about to fall down my cheeks. I don't want to let him see that even knowing how bad and evil he can be, a part of me would still be able to do what he just said – to give him a second chance. All because I've seen him being hurt by what I said to him.
I compose myself quickly. He doesn't deserve the second chance. He deserves hell and he's going to have it. Like, from now on.
I grab the keys to Klaus's car from one of his minions and before anyone could notice I jump behind the steering wheel. Oh no, I'm not going to run away. But taking the huge, black SUV for a ride seems like a good idea for now.
Number 10 from the list of "Things to make Klaus's life miserable":
Taking Klaus's car for a crazy drive with the highest speed. – CHECKED!
A/N: First of 101 points on the list - checked!:)
There will be a lot more, 'cause I'm planning to develop their trip
and to show you this way how Cassie and Klaus's feelings for each other
change during that trip;)
And, although Cassie saw Stefan killing this poor girl,
I want him and Cassie to be friends - eventually:)
