Chapter 4: Loophole Of Nature's Girl

A few days later, Cassie heard her father speaking about Elena putting the dagger in Elijah again and that it needed to stay there so he will stay dead.

She came down to the Salvatores' cell to see Damon burning Elijah and Catherine standing next to him. "What the hell are you doing and what this slut is doing here?" asked Cassie.

"I am trying to get the dagger out," said Damon. "And I am Catherine not Elena," said Catherine in a smile. "Oh I know," said Cassie. Catherine's smile fell. "Stop doing that!" called Cassie. "Why?" asked Damon. "He is my friend," said Cassie. "Your friend?" asked Damon. "Yes, my friend," she said angrily and went upstairs.

She sat to read the diaries in the living room, Jonatan Gilbert's diaries. She heard her father talking about the place where hundred witches were burned. She was surprise to actually find it.

Damon looked up. "Is that your car?" asked Catherine. "Yes," said Damon and ran upstairs only to see the dust his daughter left behind.

Cassie stepped in to the big old place.

"Hi, I am not a witch but I believe that you can hear me," she said hesitantly. Candles lit up. "I just want to ask something. Is it right what I feel about Elijah? I mean, I never had a mother to consult with, and a lot of you are women. Why is it so strong?"

Cassie closed her eyes and listened.

Damon went to Jeremy's house and with Bonnie drove to the witches' house.

"How do you know where is it if Cassie took the diary with her?" asked Jeremy. "I am following the GPS of her phone," said Damon.

"I don't understand, please what it's mean?" asked Cassie. They kept whispering. "Please," she whimpered, tears rolling down her face. "Please,"

"Cassie? Baby please snap out of this," Damon was holding her face. "She is a witch?" asked Bonnie, looking at the burning candles. "Of course not, you would have known," said Jeremy.

"Bonnie do something!" called Damon hysterically. "Please… I don't understand… please…" mumbled Cassie. Bonnie chanted for a moment and Cassie opened her eyes.

"Hey… are you o.k.?" asked Damon softly wiping her tears away. She shook her head. "I will take you home," he said carrying her. "You are on your own now," said Damon and went to his car.

"What did they do to you?" asked Damon softly, stroking her hair. Cassie was in her bed after taking a shower.

"They told me something, but I didn't understand and they didn't explain," she mumbled quietly. "That's why you were begging and crying," he stated, she just nodded.

"What was it? What did they tell you?" asked Damon. Cassie shook her head violently. "o.k. o.k. don't tell me, its fine. Shhh…" he stroked her head until she fell asleep.

"Well?" asked Stefan. "I talked with Bonnie, she is ready." Said Damon. "What do you mean you talked with her? You weren't there?" asked Stefan. "Cassie was the first one in the house, she talked with the witches and she was really hysterical when we found her, she refuses to tell me what they said," said Damon.

Cassie came in to the living room. "Hey there, are you o.k.? your dad just told me what happened today," said Stefan softly. She nodded and snuggled in to her father chest. Damon kissed her forehead.

"Go to the decade dance on Friday, it will be fun," said Damon. "O.k. but I don't have who to go with," said Cassie. "Who cares? Just blend in," said Damon. "o.k. I need to do something now," said Cassie.

Suddenly Damon notice that she was dressed to get out. "Where are you going?" asked Damon. "I need to talk with Bonnie, I already asked, she at Jeremy's and they said I can come over," said Cassie. Damon and Stefan exchanged a look. "O.k. not too late, and take a jacket," said Damon. Cassie kissed his cheek and took his car's keys.

"Hi, Cassie, come on in," said Jeremy. "Thanks," said Cassie and went in to the living room.

"How are you?" asked Bonnie softly. "Better, but I need to ask you something," said Cassie. "Sure, go ahead," said Bonnie. "To leave you alone?" asked Jeremy. "No, you can stay but I need you to keep it a secret, no matter what you are going to hear in here, can I trust both of you?" asked Cassie.

"Of course," said Bonnie. "Yeah, you can trust us," said Jeremy and joined them on the couch.

"O.k." she breathed. They looked at her but didn't push her.

"Well, me and Elijah have something, I mean we are kind of together," said Cassie. "Oh my god!" said Bonnie, shocked. "Nothing really happened yet, but we clicked and we had some moments of touch," she continued. Bonnie opened her mouth in shock. "Innocent touch! God, Bonnie," called Cassie, embarrassed. "Oh," said Bonnie. "Yes, Oh." Cassie rolled her eyes at her.

"The thing is, it's really strong for both of us. I mean, Elijah is in town for not very long and we met only a few times, and it's really powerful, and since he is an original I thought that maybe… ah," Cassie stopped midsentence.

"You thought that maybe magic involved so you went to the witches," said Bonnie. Cassie nodded. "How did you even know to look for them? I thought Damon is keeping you out of all of this," said Jeremy. "He is, but I eavesdrop now and then, especially since I met Elijah," said Cassie. "So you are spying for him?" asked Jeremy. "No! No, of course not, it's for me, I just want to know what to expect next," said Cassie.

"You miss him," said Bonnie softly. "Badly, but I can't just get the dagger out, my dad will never forgive me," said Cassie.

"So you asked the witches if you being with Elijah is o.k.?" guessed Jeremy. "Something like that, yeah." Said Cassie. "And what did they say?" asked Bonnie. "They just said loophole of nature's girl? Did you ever heard about something like that?" asked Cassie. "No, so you asked for explanations and they told you what?" asked Bonnie. "They repeated it over and over again, and I freaked out," said Cassie.

"O.k. we can look for it in the grimoires we took from Martin' right?" suggested Jeremy. "Sure, they are in my place," said Bonnie. "Do you mind if we start now?" asked Cassie. "Of course not let's go," said Bonnie in a smile. "Thank you," said Cassie.

They took two cars. Bonnie drove with Jeremy at her car, and Cassie followed them with Damon's car.

"I will drive you home later," said Cassie. "Sure," said Jeremy.

They started to read. The thing is that the words 'loophole' and 'nature' were everywhere, but never together.

Cassie's phone buzzed. "Hi, dad." Said Cassie. "It's late cara mia." (= 'my dear' in Italian). Said Damon. "I know, but we are at Bonnie's now, they are helping me, can I stay? Please," asked Cassie. "One more hour," said Damon. "Two more, please," she whined. "It's a school night, hour and a half more, that's it," said Damon. "Thanks dad," said Cassie. "Love you," said Damon. "Love you too dad," she answered and hang up.

"I never thought I will say it, but its looks like Damon is capable of being cute," said Bonnie. Cassie made a face and Jeremy chuckled.

"Back to work," said Jeremy and they went back to the books.

They worked on the books for two days, and find nothing. Bonnie said that maybe it's too rare that most of the witches don't know about it, or just didn't write about it.

Cassie hoped that Elijah will know something. She just wanted him to wake up.
