Chapter 14: Home Coming

Elijah and Cassie came in to the living room together. Cassie felt Elijah frizzing next to her.

She looked at Rebecca, her father, Elena, Stefan and someone that was daggered, grey on the floor.

"Who is he?" asked Cassie. Everyone looked at her.

"My father, Michael." Said Elijah quietly. "Where the hell did he come from? What are you doing? Who is on the phone?" asked Cassie quickly. "Keep her out of that, she will ruin everything, she is his friend," said Stefan.

"Look Cassie, no one is on the phone yet, and we have a plan-" started Damon.

"To kill my brother?" asked Elijah, cutting him off.

"Yes," said Stefan. "What?! Why?!" called Cassie angrily.

"Sister?" asked Elijah. "He lied to us, he killed our mother, not father as he told us," said Rebecca. Cassie looked at Elijah worriedly. "I see. If I were you, I wouldn't trust Michael," said Elijah before turning and getting out of the living room. Cassie followed him.

"Hey you, handsome, tall and dark," called Cassie. Elijah stopped and turned to Cassie. She gave him a bright smile, he laughed.

"Come here," she said softly, pulling him in to her arms. "It's alright, everything will be fine, I promise," said Cassie.

He had no idea what he would have done without her. She was everything to him, friend and lover, source of warmth, security and comfort.

"Let's go for a walk," suggested Cassie. He nodded and they went in to town.

"Here you are you two, I am calling both of you for hours," said Caroline. Elijah tilted his head. "Us?" he asked. "Yeah. The homecoming dance is tonight; you are coming right?" asked Caroline. "I am a junior remember?" asked Cassie. "So? Who cares! Both of you are coming, see you tonight!" called Caroline as she walked away from them.

"She sounds like my brother. Are we going?" asked Elijah. "Well, the whole plan of my father and yours for that matter probably will happen in this dance. Besides, do you want Caroline to kill us both?" said Cassie. He chuckled. "I guess not." He said.

"Mmm… do you want to come with me to buy a dress?" suggested Cassie. "Sure," he said in a smile.

"How is this one?" asked Cassie. She was in a black dress, very tight, very short. Elijah growled. "What now?" asked Cassie, rolling her eyes at him.

She lost the count of how many dresses she tried on. And not because they didn't fit or that she didn't like them. It was Elijah that refused to choose.

"Everyone will stare at you, it's too sexy," he half whined. She sighed. "Next time I am going with Caroline, or Rebecca. You are impossible," she sighed and went back in to the changing room.

She put on some blue dress, a bit tight in the upper part with straps and a puffy skirt that got just a bit above her knees. It has a delicate cleavage. All of it fit perfectly with her necklace.

"If you said one word I will kill you, this is the one. I am not trying any more dresses," said Cassie. Elijah lifted his hands in surrender. She looked at him, narrowing her eyes. He kissed her. "Is it so bad that I want to keep you to myself?" he asked softly. "No," she stroked his hair. "But you are driving me crazy," said Cassie. "Sorry," said Elijah. She kissed his lips, and went to change and pay for her new dress.

"Caroline called, the gym got flooded and the party moved in to the Lockwoods' house," said Cassie while putting on some mascara. Elijah was ready half an hour ago and now was sloping on the bed.

"O.k." sighed Elijah.

"I am ready; how do I look?" asked Cassie. Elijah sat up. With her new dress, high heels, her necklace and half of her hair up she looked perfect. He smiled. "Beautiful," he breathed. She stared at him, biting her lip.

Elijah cleared his throat. "Let's go before I will take this dress off you and we will stay here, in bed," said Elijah. "Tempting. Come on, let's go." said Cassie dragging him down the stairs, out of the house and in to his car.

"Who the hell are all this people?" asked Cassie. "I have no idea my dear," said Elijah. They looked around, most of the people didn't look familiar at all. There was a band, and alcohol. "Come on, let's go inside, get a beer or something," said Cassie, leading Elijah in to the house.

With bottles of beer in their hands Elijah and Cassie kept looking around. "I don't like it," said Elijah.

"What there is not to like brother? Band, alcohol, treason," said Klaus. Cassie looked at him for a moment and then slapped him with all of her power.

Elijah opened his mouth, shocked. Klaus lifted his hand to his sore cheek. "Why-" he started and stopped when Cassie hugged him. He wrapped his arms around her. "You are wired love," said Klaus. She chuckled.

"Why did you slap me?" asked Klaus. "Because you compelled my uncle to turn off his humanity," said Cassie. "So…?" asked Klaus. "So, because of you I got pushed to the floor by uncaring Stefan," said Cassie. "What?!" he hissed. "Never mind, it's over," said Cassie.

"How are you?" asked Cassie. "Not bad; what you are up to?" asked Klaus. "You are very close to another slap Nick, seriously," said Cassie. "O.k. so you are not plotting against me, what about your boyfriend?" asked Klaus. "Her boyfriend knows that you killed his mother so…" said Elijah. Klaus made a face.

"No Nick, Elijah is not plotting against you, even that you killed well, your mother," said Cassie. "So you are here because…?" asked Klaus. "Caroline treated to kill us if we wouldn't come," said Elijah. Cassie looked at him and started to laugh. Klaus smiled.

"By the way, you look gorgeous love," said Klaus. "Thank you, you too," she replied. Elijah grabbed her hand and pulled her back to his side. "I am not stealing your girlfriend Elijah," said Klaus, rolling his eyes about his brother's behavior.

Cassie kissed Elijah's cheek.

"Someone wants to talk with you," said a girl in to Klaus ear. "I am kind of busy, love," said Klaus. "He said his name is Michael," said the girl. "Oh, so let's don't make the guest of honor to wait," said Klaus.

He whispered in to the girl's ear some instructions and went to the back door. Cassie looked at Elijah, that nodded and they followed him.

Klaus was already talking with Michael.

"Elijah, once again standing with that abomination against me?" asked Michael. "He is my brother," said Elijah simply. "You still call him brother? Even that you know that he killed your mother?" asked Michael. "Your wife doesn't deserve to be call a mother," said Cassie.

"Oh? And who are you? I don't remember meeting you," said Michael. "I am Cassie, Elijah's girlfriend and Nick's friend," said Cassie. "Really? And what make you think you have the right to comment over my wife?" asked Michael, angry. She shrugged. "It's a free country, I can comment over whatever I want. I actually don't know what worse, an abandoning and indifferent mother or an abusive father, I guess they are both sucks," said Cassie.

"Insolent child. I really don't know what you are doing with her, son," said Michael. "That's because you don't know me, you were too busy hunting me and my siblings for a thousand years," said Elijah. "I was never after you, you are my son. I was after the pathetic, coward beast you call brother," said Michael.

Cassie saw the tears run down Klaus' cheeks. She grabbed his hand and gave it a squeeze. Klaus looked at their hands.

"Come over here and face me boy!" said Michael. "You are all alone, and will always be alone. Who do you have that you didn't force their loyalty to you? No one!"

Cassie looked at Elijah with a raised eyebrow. "Where was he at the last ten minutes?" she asked, Elijah smiled at her.

Suddenly Damon jumped at Klaus with a white oak stake. Klaus screamed in pain when the stake got in to his flesh. Elijah pulled Cassie to him.

Out of nowhere showed Stefan, pushing Damon aside. Cassie grabbed the stake off the floor and run outside, jumping from the stairs right on Michael, stubbing him in his heart. He screamed in pain. Cassie stared in to his eyes, frozen on top of his body and was pulled away by Elijah, just before Michael started to burn up.

Stefan and Damon were gone, once again Stefan was free.

Klaus came outside.

"Did she got burned?" asked Klaus. "No, I am fine, I just... Amm…" she grumbled. Klaus tilted his head at her. "Never kill anyone before?" suggested Klaus. "It's not that, I killed a vampire before, a few actually," said Cassie. "Oh, I thought you are innocent," said Klaus.

She looked at Elijah and started to laugh. He made a face. "I don't think that he meant it to have double meaning Elijah," said Cassie, still laughing. "Double meaning…? Oh," said Klaus.

He smiled his dimpled smile. "Congrats brother," said Klaus, chuckling. "Shut up," said Elijah. She kissed Elijah's lips.

Klaus was looking at his father body that was still burning. Cassie looked at him, then at Elijah and frowned.

She squeezed Elijah's hand and then walked over to Klaus.

"Are you alright Nick? You are not regretting that he is dead, are you?" asked Cassie, stroking his hair. "God no," said Klaus. "So what is it?" asked Cassie. She saw another tear falling down his cheek, exactly like when Michael insulted him.

She wiped it away. "Cassie I will wait for you in the car," said Elijah, deciding to let her talk with his brother alone. "Sure love, see you soon," said Cassie in a smile. Elijah kissed her lips shortly and left.

Cassie pulled Klaus to the stairs, siting on one. He sat next to her. "Talk to me, Nick, I am your friend," said Cassie. Wiping another tear that slipped down his cheek.

"What if he was right?" asked Klaus. "About what honey?" asked Cassie. "About… well everything," said Klaus, looking at her. "Mmm… let's see, you are not alone, and you are not a coward, you don't have a tail, well usually not, so you are not a beast," started Cassie, making him laugh.

She held his face in her hands, wiping his tears away. "You are not an abomination, because werewolves are people, and so does vampires, you are just both. And not wanting to stay alone, is natural thing to want, and there is nothing pathetic in you," she told him softly.

"Do you understand?" asked Cassie. He nodded. "Good," she said in a smile and pulled him in to her arms. She kissed his cheek, hugging him tight and stroking his head.

"Stick around o.k.?" asked Cassie. He nodded. She kissed his forehead and stood up, sighing. "Great party," said Cassie winking at him. He laughed. "Thank you Cassie, for everything," said Klaus. "Well, since I am planning to keep your brother forever, we are practically family. Good night Nick," said Cassie, walking away. "Good night love," called Klaus after her.

"Are you o.k.?" asked Elijah when Cassie came in to the car. "Sure." Said Cassie. "Is he o.k.?" asked Elijah, starting to drive to the boarding house. "He will be; when people keep telling how wrong and bad you are, it's difficult not to believe them. Your father was the worst thing that ever happened to Nick, he ruined him." Said Cassie. "He basically ruined us all," said Elijah.

"You came out o.k." she told him in a smile. He kissed her lips before speeding to open her door.

"Mmm… let's get inside, get you out of this dress," whispered Elijah seductively. "Good idea," said Cassie.

They came inside to see an angry Damon.

"Why did you have to save him? Why?!" called Damon. "Because he wasn't deserved to die," said Cassie. "What? After everything he has done to me? To your uncle?" said Elena, shocked.

Cassie laughed. "You are alive; you were supposed to die but you are alive. Nothing happened to you, you lost Jenna, but she lost her life, and my uncle is none of your business, since you are so cozy with my father," said Cassie.

"He is responsible for all that happened," said Elena. "No. you are. And the original witch too. He didn't ask to lose half of his identity or spending a thousand years trying to get it back, while running away from a father that abused him since he was a child," said Cassie. "Michael wasn't his father," said Elena.

Cassie slapped her with all of the power she had. "Don't you dare to ignore anything that will not fit with your actions. Michael abused Nick when he still believed that he is his son and you know it, Rebecca told you everything about it, I am sure she did. You knew perfectly that Michael found out that Nick isn't his son only after they become vampires," said Cassie.

"So what?" asked Elena still holding a hand to her soring cheek. "So you send an abusive father after his son, a father that didn't mind killing his own children if they stood in his way," said Cassie.

"He was using her blood," said Damon. "So? He could have dried her, taking all of her blood, or taking her with him when he left to create his hybrids using her as he pleased. Instead he took some, and left her behind in this town that is a magnet for troubles, letting her live her life," said Cassie. "He left her behind because he knew that Michael is awake and he was afraid of him," said Damon. "Really? Leaving his sister and brother behind to deal with him alone? I don't think so," said Cassie.

"Why do you think that he cares so much? He cares for no one but himself," said Elena. "It may come as a shock to you, but not everyone is like you and Catherine, people do care for others and so does Nick." Said Cassie.

Cassie turn to the stairs. "Cassie," called Damon. "What now? Are you going to ask if I am compelled? Or you are going to pretend that I am dead from now on?" asked Cassie in a sighed. "Why would I do that?" asked Damon in a frown. "Because I ruined your perfect plan, because I hurt your precious Elena," said Cassie.

"Well technically, your brother ruined your plan when he jumped on you, Cassie just used the opportunity to get rid of Michael," said Elijah. "I guess you are right, I just wish she would have use the opportunity to get rid of Klaus," said Damon. "I don't hurt my friends like she does. Because if she really cared about you, she would have let you go instead of using you while her boyfriend is a riper," said Cassie.

Damon opened his mouth to say something but Cassie stopped him. "I am just want to go to bed, you can hate me if you want I was just telling the true. Good night," said Cassie pulling Elijah with her. "Good night baby, I love you," said Damon after her. "Love you too dad," called Cassie before closing her bedroom's door.

"We can just cuddle if you like it better at the moment," suggested Elijah. "No," said Cassie, opening her dress and letting it drop to the floor. Elijah was staring at her with open mouth.

"I guess we can cuddle after…" mumbled Elijah as she pulled him to the bed, getting rid of his clothes in the process.
