Chapter 8: From Hatred To Friendship.
Cassie was sitting in the hallway outside of Alaric's apartment.
It's been close to two days since the full moon. She knew Catherine is in there so she didn't go in.
She used the café's bathroom, and ate her meals there too.
She heard someone coming, just one so she got a floor up, hiding. When she looked back down, the door closed.
Cassie went back to her position when she saw them.
She jumped on Elijah, almost knocking him down.
"What, no hug for me?" asked Klaus. She stuck her tongue at him, making Elijah chuckle. She kissed his lips.
"Impressing jumping by the way, too crazy for a human to jump above flams thought," said Klaus. "It's my hobby, kind of," said Cassie. "Jumping above flams?" asked Klaus with a raise eyebrow. She shook her head. "Jumping from roof to roof," said Cassie. "From all the stuff I heard from humans over the years that's definitely the weirdest one," said Klaus opening the apartment door.
"Looks who stop by," said Catherine.
"Uncle Stefan," breathed Cassie.
"You seem to pop up a lot," said Klaus. "I need your help, for my brother," said Stefan. "First I need to stand up to my word for my brother," said Klaus and stubbed Elijah with a dagger to his chest.
Cassie looked at Elijah greying face.
She threw her fist in to Klaus' face, making the surprised hybrid to stumble.
"I must say I didn't see it coming," said Klaus, smirking. "Really? You just temporary killed my boyfriend and you expect what? A hug?" asked Cassie angrily. "Point taken love," said Klaus and turned to Stefan.
"Now, what am I going to do with you?" asked Klaus and stubbed Stefan with a stake. Cassie came behind him and stubbed his back with another stake. Klaus screamed in pain and started to pull the stake out.
Cassie grabbed Stefan's stake. "Ready?" she asked. He nodded. "On three," she said. He nodded again. "One, two…" she pulled the stake out. He moaned. "What happened to three?" asked Stefan, gasping. "It's the oldest trick in the book say three, do on two. Now what's wrong with my dad?" asked Cassie.
"Tyler bit him on the full moon, the witches said to come to Klaus," said Stefan standing up. Cassie looked at grey-dead Elijah.
Nothing, cara mia, nothing is wrong… Tyler bit him… nothing, cara mia, nothing is wrong… Tyler bit him on the full moon… bit him… bit him…
Everything went black before her head hit the floor.
"It's time to wake up love, Cassandra… Cassie!" said Klaus almost in her ear. Well it sounded to her like he was talking in her ear.
Cassie sat up at once. First she saw Klaus right next to her, and then Elijah's grey body by the door, and then Stefan on the floor surrounded with empty blood bags.
"Uncle Stef', what are you doing?" asked Cassie. "Embracing his true nature," said Klaus. "I wasn't talking to you, annoying redhead. Uncle Stefan?"
She looked at her uncle. "His blood is the cure for the bite, I made a deal," said Stefan. "Why would you want him as a riper?" asked Cassie, annoyed. "Well, he is more fun this way, and more useful to me," said Klaus, smiling. Cassie glared at him.
"Now, Catherina…" started Klaus. "No way, I will get it to him. I need to take some stuff anyway," said Cassie. "I am not following you, love," said Klaus. "True, I am following you, or did you think I will let you take off with my uncle and my boyfriend? No way. I will take your blood to dad, pack up some stuff and come back here," said Cassie.
Klaus smiled widely. "It's going to be a great summer; don't you agree love?"
"How many theater classes did you took?" she asked, shaking her head while taking the jar with his blood and going out the door.
Cassie came in to her father's room. He was weak and sweaty lying in his big bed.
"Hey baby, where were you? I was worried sick," he mumbled coughing. "I am here now, with the cure," said Cassie softly and helped him drink the blood, ignoring Elena's presence completely.
"Where is Stefan?" asked Damon after getting out of the shower with fresh clothes. "He gave himself to Klaus, for the cure." Said Cassie.
Damon notice the bag at her feet. "What is this?" asked Damon. "I'm going with them, I can't leave Uncle Stefan alone with Klaus, and he daggered Elijah so I can't leave Elijah alone with him either," explained Cassie.
"What?! No! You are my sixteen years old baby, I am not letting you go with this psycho, absolutely not!" protested Damon. "I am not asking permission dad, I am going, they are waiting for me," said Cassie.
She kissed Damon's cheek, hugged him quickly and left with her bag.
When she paid the taxi's driver someone touched her shoulder and she turned around with a fist ready to punch, but was stopped by Klaus. "Easy love, one per day is definitely enough," said Klaus.
He looked at her glossy eyes, and released his grip on her hand. "Are you going to cry?" asked Klaus. He wasn't mocking her, just softly asking. "No," she replied and got in the back seat of his car, her bag with her.
She did cry. For the first three hours of the drive that was all she did.
After the first hour, Klaus whispered to Stefan how long it is going to take until she stops. Stefan just shrugged.
When she finally stopped Klaus dared to look at her in the mirror. "Are you o.k. back there?" asked Stefan. "Yeah, sorry," said Cassie. "That's fine," said Stefan smiling at her. She didn't whimper, or cry loudly, but the sight of a young girl shedding tears for three hours was disturbing even for Klaus.
"Can I drive?" asked Cassie. "It's depends love, can you see anything with your puffy eyes?" asked Klaus. She frowned at him. "Yes,"
As a response to her answer he stopped on the side of the road and took Stefan place, sending him to the back seat.
Cassie didn't need to move the driver seat since she and Klaus were more or less at the same high. She put on her seat belt and pushed down the gas pedal.
Klaus was staring at her in amusement. "Want to rob some banks on the way love?" asked Klaus. "She learned how to drive from Damon, this is how he drives," said Stefan, reading a book he fined in the back seat.
"What do you read Uncle Stefan?" asked Cassie. "Romeo and Juliet, original copy," said Stefan. "It's Elijah's," said Klaus quickly. Too quickly. Cassie chuckled. "What?" asked Klaus. "I would have believed you if you would have say it two minutes later," said Cassie, still chuckling. Klaus frowned.
They drove quietly for a while.
"The witches told me something weird," said Cassie suddenly. "Witches always says weird stuff, all of them do, but which witches did you talk to?" said Klaus, looking at her with curiosity. "The hundred dead ones, the witches that tried to kill you?" she reminded him. He made a face.
"I remember those; but if they are dead, how did you talk to them? Are you a witch?" asked Klaus. "No, I am not a witch, I asked a question, and they decided to answer," said Cassie.
She noticed that Stefan abandoned his reading and was completely on focus. "What did you ask?" asked Klaus. "If me and Elijah… well, if it's right," said Cassie. Klaus looked at her in confusion. "Why would you feel the need to ask about it?" asked Stefan. "Well, it happened too quickly, too strongly, neither of us understood that. And, well, since he is an original, I wondered if there is something more in this then just two people falling in love," said Cassie.
"And what the witches told you?" asked Stefan. "Loophole of nature's girl," said Cassie. "I am sorry, what?" asked Stefan again. "Loophole of nature's girl," said Cassie.
She gave Klaus a look he was quiet. "Did you heard it before?" asked Cassie. "No, I am afraid not, love," answered Klaus. "So why did you become so quiet?" asked Cassie. "Just thinking about what you said about Elijah. You are right, he is not the one to fall in love quickly and strongly. He used to be like that, but after a bit of experience he become more… protective, of his heart I mean," said Klaus. Cassie just nodded.
"What about you?" asked Cassie after a long pause. "What was that love?" asked Klaus. "How do you fall in love?" asked Cassie in curiosity. "He needs to have a heart to do so," said Stefan. "He has one, everyone does," said Cassie. "Not the big bad hybrid," said Stefan going back to his book.
Klaus returned his head to the window, not responding to Stefan remark, or to Cassie's question. Cassie passed her fingers through his hair. He stared at her and she gave him a soft smile and turned back to the road.
After hearing his story from Elijah she didn't blame him for wanting to release his wolf side, to be whole again. She let Elijah go after him, because she knew he wouldn't do it, she saw through his memories how much he loved him, as she knew that there is no way that Klaus threw his siblings in the sea.
If not for that, then for her. She saw how he looked at her when he was about to kill Klaus, and knew that he was afraid of what it will do to her, to them.
Cassie looked at the mirror and saw that her uncle dropped the book when falling asleep. She looked at Klaus, he was sleeping too and turned a bit in his seat, his head falling on her shoulder. She smiled and kissed his head lightly.
Eventually they passed by a motel. Cassie parked the car, and both of the men woke up. "Let's get a room, we are too tired for this," she told them. Klaus thought to protest but he couldn't keep his eyes open. He just nodded.
They took their stuff and were lucky to have a room with three beds. Not very good beds, or room, or anything else in this motel, but still they had where to take a shower and get some sleep.
After taking showers, Stefan went for a drive, trying to find something to eat leaving Cassie with Klaus at their room.
Klaus was smiling, looking at her. "What so funny?" asked Cassie annoyed. "Nothing; I was admiring your PJ, has Elijah saw it yet?" he chuckled. She was wearing a set of pink PJ made of shorts and T-shirt. In the middle of the shirt was Winnie the Pooh holding a jar of honey.
"No, he hasn't," said Cassie, glaring at him. "Well, his lose," said Klaus. "Stop mocking me, you have no right," said Cassie. He shrugged. "Why not? It's fun," said Klaus. "Isn't that enough that you ruined my sex life?" said Cassie. "Not my fault, I told you my brother is boring," said Klaus, smiling.
"My point is that because of you I don't have sex life; your stupid ritual got in the middle and then you daggered Elijah," said Cassie. Klaus tilted his head. "I got the second part, the first is a bit confusing," said Klaus, taking a seat in the middle of the bed, his legs folded.
It made her smile. "Are you going to explain your first statement?" asked Klaus. "Never mind," she said and took a seat at the end of his bed, still smiling. "What this smile for?" he asked, annoyed. She chuckled. "You looks like a kid, sitting like that in the middle of the bed," said Cassie. He frowned. She chuckled again.
Then Stefan came in with pizza. "Yay! Pizza!" called Cassie, jumping off the bed and grabbing a slice. Klaus stared at her for a moment, and then started to laugh. She threw a pillow at his face, which he threw back, and surprisingly missed.
Stefan stared at her. She wasn't supposed to become his friend.
Eventually after eating pizza and brushing their teeth they went to bed. Klaus fell asleep at the moment his head hit the pillow. Stefan and Cassie were still a wake, lying in their beds.
"You are not supposed to be his friend," said Stefan. "Why? He wasn't the one that bit dad, in fact, if you would have succeeded at killing him, dad was dead," said Cassie. "And what about your boyfriend?" asked Stefan. "It's his brother, he will wake him up, and if he will take his time too much in doing it, I will do it myself," said Cassie.
"How can you be so sure he will ever wake him?" asked Stefan. "Because they love each other, I saw it in Elijah's memories, he showed me," said Cassie. "Whatever, good night Cassie," said Stefan in a sigh. "Good night Uncle Stefan," said Cassie.
But she didn't sleep. She couldn't, no matter how tired she was. Instead she sat in her bed, playing in her smartphone.
Klaus was turning in his sleep, something was obviously hunting him. Cassie watched him for a while.
When Klaus whimpered softly, Cassie got out of her bed and went to wake him up. "Hey… wake up, honey, come on, you're having a bad dream, just wake up," she shook his shoulder, talking to him softly.
He opened his eyes. She saw horror in them. "What…" he mumbled, confused. "You were having a bad dream so I woke you up," said Cassie, stroking his hair softly. "Sorry to wake you up," said Klaus. "You didn't, I was already up, can't sleep," she replied. She was still stroking his head. His eyelids were dropping slowly. She stroked his hair until he went back to sleep, then she kissed his forehead softly and went back to her bed.
She played in her smartphone until the boys woke up to the new day.
