Cassidy's POV
Caroline and I were currently at the Grill together. I'm not sure why because she didn't have a thing for Matt. I imagine that Katherine still compelled him because Tina sipped vervain on the daily. Wow, that sentence sounds like it's trying to be impossibly hip.
"Do you two need a table?" Matt asked.
"We just need to go to the bathroom." Caroline declared as dragged me to the ladies' room.
"Why didn't we get a table?" I asked before Katherine stepped out of the stall.
"Hey, are you two okay?" She asked pretending to be Elena. Caroline lunged at her. "What gave me away? Was it the hair?"
"We know Elena is at home." I declared. That and I could smell her.
Katherine then slammed Caroline against the wall.
"Listen up. I want you two to give a message to the Salvatores." She replied. "Either give me the moonstone tonight at Masquerade Ball or I will kill everyone in town."
With that she sped out. That seemed like it would be hard to do without a nuke, which I don't think she had. Caroline breathed deeply.
"Go to the boarding house and tell them." I declared. "They'll know what to do."
Sadie's POV
Caroline came into the house, visibly shaken. Basically she had seen Katherine who laid down her threat.
"She wants to do it in public." Stefan noted. "Killing Mason shook her up."
"She doesn't think that we'll kill her there." I added. "It gives us the edge."
"Can't we just give her the moonstone so she'll leave?" Caroline asked.
"No!" Damon and I both shouted.
"I'm gonna go to the masquerade ball and I'm gonna kill her." Damon added.
"You're not gonna kill her." Stefan declared. "You're not gonna kill her because I'm going to kill her."
"It doesn't matter who kills her as long as she dies." I opined. "We're gonna need help. We'll get everyone but Elena and Cassie over here."
Bonnie was the last one to arrive. I opened the door for her.
"Welcome." I said to her.
"I got the spell book. What's going on?" The witch asked.
"We're gonna kill Katherine." Jeremy responded as he walked by.
"What he said." I explained. Ric was explaining how the weapons worked.
"For the guys, I recommend this." Ric stated. "It fits under a jacket sleeve and comes out when you're ready for it."
"Sadie, this is too risky. Too many people can get hurt." Bonnie pointed out.
"Too many people have gotten hurt." I argued. "Katherine going after Jenna crossed the line and it's time to end this. She needs to die. We have the element of surprise."
"I could do a trapping spell." Bonnie offered.
"Now that is using your powers for good." I declared. "This is going to work."
"Okay." Bonnie agreed.
"Are you sure that you don't want me to go?" Ric asked.
"No we need someone to stay with Elena and make sure that she doesn't come to the ball." Stefan explained.
"Okay. I won't let her out of my sight." He agreed.
"Alright it's the last chance for anyone to back out." Damon announced. "Barbie are you in?"
"She killed me. Fair is fair." Caroline pointed out as Tina clutched her hand. "Is Cassie helping us?"
"I'll talk to her when I get there." Anna promised.
"I wanna make sure no one gets hurt." Bonnie remarked.
"Okay, tonight Katherine gets a stake in her heart." I responded.
Cassidy's POB
I was wearing a red and black-striped dress with a black mask. There were people playing with fire outside. Mom and I found Tyler in Dad's old study.
"We need to keep that door shut." She instructed. "We don't want guests in here. You know both of you look great."
"You look pretty good too, Mom." Tyler replied. "Listen I'm sorry I've been a dick…a jerk lately, but have you heard from Mason?"
"No, and I don't think we're going to." Mom answered. That was definitely true. "That's just how Mason is. He's the exact opposite of your father."
"We should have canceled this party." Tyler opined.
"This whole masquerade theme was his idea." Mom reminded us. It seemed highly expositional. "And I don't know how this helps the homeless, but once he made up his mind, he could really be a dick…I mean a jerk, but I loved him. It's natural for you two to feel abandoned, but don't feel alone."
"Let's go out there and pretend to have fun." Tyler suggested.
"I don't have to pretend. I have a date." I told them with a smile.
Sadie's POV
I arrived wearing a short silver dress with a matching mask. There are was a lot more variance among the girls as opposed to the guys. Jeremy still looked dashing in a suit. I hoped that when this was over, we'd get a chance to dance.
"Are you sure you can do this?" Stefan asked Damon.
"Who are you talking to?" Damon scoffed.
"You did spend the last 146 years in love with her." I pointed out.
"I'm not gonna hesitate." Damon declared. "I want her dead more than anything."
Cassidy's POV
I met Anna inside of the house.
"So do you want help us kill Katherine?" She asked. She was wearing a red dress with horizontal pleats on one side and vertical ones on the other. It was very her.
"Is there really anything that I can do?" I asked. "It seems like you guys got everything under control. I really wanna dance with you."
"Okay, I guess we can dance a little." She agreed as she grabbed me and spun me around. I giggled at that.
Sadie's POV
I headed upstairs Bonnie and Jeremy as we prepared the room.
"This should work." Jeremy stated.
"Just don't cast the spell until I leave." I requested. "I'm so excited that we're finally going to do this. I've wanted this bitch dead ever since we learned that she wasn't in the tomb."
"You probably shouldn't be excited about killing someone." Jeremy told me.
"I probably shouldn't, but Katherine has done horrible things and I don't exactly feel sympathetic to her." I answered. Even though I knew that she had a rough life growing up, all of my sympathy for her was gone when she killed Jeremy. She was long past being sympathetic and I was long past caring about her. Not to mention, she was going two innocent girls, even if both of them were useless and she was going to try to kill Matt to make Tyler a werewolf. I looked to Bonnie. "So how long is this spell supposed to last?"
"I'm probably going to keep it up for an hour because that won't require a lot of magic." Bonnie explained. "I won't be helping you guys when you kill her."
"I don't know if I will either." I admitted. "Stefan and Damon can probably handle it. I'll stay and protect Jeremy."
"I have my ring." Jeremy pointed out.
"That comes off very easily." I countered. "You're only wearing that ring because Katherine already removed it from John with a knife. I'm your bodyguard for the night."
Cassidy's POV
I decided to go out to the dancefloor with Anna while I scanned the yard for Katherine. I really wish that Tyler had never invited her inside.
"Are you sure that she's here?" I asked Anna since I hadn't seen her.
"Yes, she's here." Anna declared as I saw her step out of the house with Stefan. I guess she wanted the moonstone. Most people didn't know that Elena and Stefan had broken up. I still couldn't believe that Stefan would ever dance with her, but then I remembered that she had threatened to start killing people. It seems like there would be easier ways to get guys.
"I really wish that Elena and Stefan didn't break up." I said to Anna. Katherine was probably too focused on him to be listening to what we were saying.
"Well they can get back together after we're done tonight." Anna pointed out as we swayed to the music.
"I guess." I agreed as I rested my head on her shoulder. I really just wanted to be right here in this moment with her right now. It was at that moment that I saw Aimee walking over to Katherine and Stefan. It was too late for me to save her. I know that she serves no purpose, but that doesn't mean that she needs to die. She's not like Sara who's necessary for Tyler's transformation.
"That girl is about to die." Anna said to me. She was completely right and we watched as Katherine shattered her spine.
"Give me the moonstone or there will be more of these that you have to deal with." Katherine declared. After she was gone, we quickly walked over to Stefan who was holding Aimee's body. It was a sad story of a girl who was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
"I'll go deal with this." Anna volunteered. "Just make sure that Katherine pays for her. Don't try to make her suffer. Just kill her."
With that Anna left me with Aimee's body. I wonder what the story will be for this. I decided to go inside and see if I could find Caroline. I noticed Tina was standing by the gate with a sniper rifle in case Katherine tried to leave. I really don't think that would be effective because she could run away before she even got a chance at a shot off.
Before I could get any farther, I was grabbed by Elena.
"What's going on?" The doppelganger asked.
Sadie's POV
I stood by Jeremy as he looked for Katherine. I think by now Aimee was dead, but I'm not sure if Sarah was or not. I grabbed a drink as we headed down the hall.
"There she is." I declared as we went outside.
"Elena." He said. She was with the witch. "Sorry, we need to talk to my sister."
"Well don't you two look cute." She commented.
"We have a message from my brothers." I told her. "They've got the moonstone by the lake. Meet them there."
"Why don't you have it?" She asked me.
"Because I don't have any pockets." I answered. At that point, Jeremy texted Caroline before he was grabbed by Elena, who had Cassie with her.
"Are you seriously trying to kill Katherine?" The human asked.
"Yes, Elena, we are killing her tonight." I told her, still hoping we would follow through.
"You're gonna get yourselves killed." Elena responded.
"We can take care of ourselves." Cassie stated. "We have a plan in place and it's going to work. This is our chance. My uncle died because of her."
"It's not just about you, Elena." Jeremy declared. "She's messed with all of us and we all want her dead."
Suddenly, Elena began to bleed. That's right she was linked to Katherine. She fell over in pain. I felt the hunger growing.
"What's happening?" Jeremy asked.
"I think she's been linked to Katherine." I stated. "Stay with her. I'll go and get them to stop."
I ran upstairs and to the room as I found Damon hovering over the bitch with a stake above her heart.
"Stop. Everything that you do is hurting Elena." I explained. "Katherine's linked herself to her."
Katherine then broke free.
"You think that you're the only ones who know a witch?" Katherine asked. "I bet my witch is better than yours."
"Sadie, go and give Elena some blood if she needs it." Stefan instructed.
I ran outside and back to them and bit into my wrist and shoved it into Elena's mouth.
"Bonnie, see if you can find the witch and get her to stop." I told the witch. "I'll stay with her and make sure she's okay."
Bonnie then ran off and I laid Elena down on the ground since she was almost unconscious.
"So where's Anna?" I asked Cassie.
"She's burying Aimee Bradley." Cassie declared. "Katherine killed her. I don't think anyone else saw it though."
"So after we find a way to break the linking spell, we can kill her right?" Jeremy questioned.
"I'm not sure. I've never really seen this kind of spell in action." I lied. "You know I just realized something. Katherine must have traded the moonstone to George in exchange for her freedom."
"But why would George want it?" Jeremy asked. "Do you think that he knew anything about the curse of the sun and moon?"
"We still don't even know everything about it." I pointed out. "We don't know how to break the spell or what will happen when we do or if any of this stuff is even true."
"Well I know that the ability to not have to turn would be ideal." Cassie replied. "But Sadie's right. We barely know anything about this stuff."
"We probably need to make sure that the same thing doesn't happen to Tyler." I pointed out. "Do you know where he is by any chance?"
"He was with Matt and Sarah I think." Cassie replied. I realized that I needed to go inside. I sighed and walked in in search of them. I heard the sounds of the fight and headed inside. I ran inside of the room as I saw that Matt was throwing punches at Tyler. I stepped and threw myself in between them. I quickly jabbed Matt with a hook and knocked him out. Tyler looked at me in surprise. I don't know why. I already decked him.
"Matt failed." Sarah murmured. "If Matt fails, I can't."
Sarah then grabbed a letter opener and stabbed Tyler with it. He then flipped her over his shoulder, banging her neck against the desk. I cringed as I heard it snap.
"No, Sarah, wake up. Sarah wake up!" Tyler demanded.
"She's dead." I remarked. At that point, Tyler's eyes began to glow yellow. At least he wouldn't change right here. I hoped that I wasn't about to end up in a love triangle now. I also wished that I didn't have to let her body go to waste.
Cassidy's POV
"I'm going to see how everything is going." I told Jeremy. "Stay with her."
I ran upstairs and stood outside the door. I wasn't going in.
"Well it looks like the mini-wolf is here." Katherine remarked. "I wonder how your brother is doing right now. So is anyone up for strip poker without the poker?"
"Who were you running from, Katherine?" Stefan asked her.
"In 1987 you were in Chicago watching Bon Jovi with that slut Lexi." Katherine remarked. "I was watching you."
She then mouthed 'I love you' and I rolled my eyes. Where was Bonnie with that witch whose name I don't remember? Finally, she began to walk toward the room.
"Katherine, the spell on this room has been lifted." She stated as she walked inside. "I've also got the moonstone, but before I give it to you, I want your word that my debt has been paid."
"Fine it's been paid." Katherine agreed as she took the moonstone and promptly fell to the floor.
"What about Elena?" I asked even though I knew she was fine.
"I've broken that spell as well." The witch declared. "I'm sorry for the part that I played in this."
I kind of expected them to stake her while she was unconscious. I really don't know why they didn't. It was so easy to kill her right now.
Sadie's POV
I had to give my best explanation of what happened to Sarah. I wished that I could just compel her.
"I came in here because I heard some sounds of aggression." I replied. "Matt and Sarah were partying hard and she slipped and hit her head on the desk."
"The sheriff is on her way and I'll call Sarah's parents." The mayor declared. "I'm sorry that you had to see that. It was an accident, but it was no one's fault."
"Mom, the sheriff's here." Tyler stated. She walked off and Tyler came up to me. "Why did you cover for me? I did this. I killed her."
"It was self-defense." I pointed out. "But if it was an accident, no one will question anything and you won't be arrested. You're too young to go to jail, Tyler."
"Why do you even care?" He responded.
"You're friends with Jeremy for some reason that I don't understand. But whatever the reason is, I want to help you out." I replied. "How's your shoulder?"
He opened his shirt and noticed that there was no wound.
"How did you know about that?" He asked me in shock. This was just the beginning.
Cassidy's POV
I found Elena outside as everyone was beginning to leave. Damon had taken Katherine to put her in the tomb. I still don't know why we couldn't just kill her.
"So how do you feel?" I asked her.
"I feel better." Elena replied.
"You know you're welcome to stay the night if you want." I told her.
"No, I think I'm going to go home." She stated. I could stop the kidnapper, but she needed to be kidnapped or the plot wouldn't move along. I headed inside since I did not want to be kidnapped with her.
So Sadie needs to be careful that she doesn't fall for Tyler or vice versa. Also Cassie spent most of the night alone. Please don't forget to review
