Chapter 15: back to the start

It was a few days after the homecoming dance, a typical morning, well kind of.

"Cassie I need to talk to you- oh my god," started Damon and froze.

"Get out!" called Cassie warping a blanket around her naked body.

Damon just burst in, not bothering to knock on the door.

"Can you just… " Started Damon with his back to them. "What is he doing in here?" asked Elijah sleepily. "Not getting out. Dad get out! Now!" called Cassie. "Yeah. I will meet you down stairs." Said Damon and went down stairs.

Cassie stood up and slammed the door after him.

"What time is it?" asked Elijah. "Seven thirty," answered Cassie, getting back in the bed, stroking his head. He yawned. "Early." He mumbled. "Yes." Said Cassie in a smile while checking her phone. "Nick called me, twice. Bonnie called too, and my dad just burst in. you think the town is on fire?" asked Cassie.

"I don't care, I am tired," grumbled Elijah and put his head in her lap. Cassie giggled.

Suddenly her phone buzzed. "Morning Bonnie." Answered Cassie. "Good morning. Sorry for calling that early, I just need your help in something, just a little talk." Said Bonnie. "Mmm… give me an hour and I will meet you at the grill?" suggested Cassie. "Sure, thanks and sorry," said Bonnie. "Not a problem," said Cassie and hanged up.

"You are leaving," Elijah accused. "I am needed in other place," said Cassie. Elijah made a face. She kissed his lips softly. "You can sleep in," she whispered. "Good night," he mumbled. Cassie laughed all the way to the shower.

Cassie went down the stairs. "Elijah is sleeping in, so stay away from my room," said Cassie. She was dressed in black jeans, blue tank top, leather jacket and black sneakers.

"Right. Sorry about earlier, I didn't think much." Said Damon. Cassie sighed. "Fine. What did you want to talk about anyway?" asked Cassie. "I don't like fighting with you baby girl, so I am sorry. I was angry about the other night failure," said Damon. "Apology accepted, but why so early in the morning?" asked Cassie. "Couldn't wait," said Damon. She smiled and kissed his cheek.

"I need to go, witchy stuff," said Cassie. "Sure," said Damon. He saw her downing a pill with a glass of water. "Feeling sick?" asked Damon. "Birth control. See you later dad," said Cassie and took off chuckling on her father frown.

"Hi Bonnie," said Cassie and joined to her booth. "I order you some breakfast," said Bonnie. "Thanks, I am really hungry," said Cassie. A waitress came with coffee and juice, omelet, salad, cheeses and bred.

They just ate for a while.

"So what's up?" asked Cassie. "I have some dreams, the same one over and over again actually," said Bonnie. "Wired. About what?" asked Cassie. "Well, I see three coffins," said Bonnie. "Coffins?" asked Cassie. "Its stupid right?" laughed Bonnie. "Not really. Nick has his siblings in coffins, daggered," said Cassie.

"Cassie, my favorite girl. How come you are with the witch and not with my brother?" asked Klaus. "He is sleeping in, long night," she smirked. Klaus chuckled.

"You called twice this morning, why?" asked Cassie. "I needed you," said Klaus. Cassie looked concerned. "What happened?" asked Cassie. "Nothing much yet. Your uncle stole my coffins, and I have no idea where is my sister," said Klaus.

"Rebecca is missing?" asked Cassie, worried. "Pretty much. You don't know anything about that or the coffins are you?" asked Klaus. "Sorry, no. we were sure that Stefan left, and I didn't see much of Rebecca," said Cassie. "What about you witch?" asked Klaus. "No idea," said Bonnie. "Right. Well maybe Elena and Damon knows something," said Klaus.

He kissed Cassie on the top of her head and went to the dartboard that was occupied by Damon and Elena.

"I didn't even notice that he came in," said Cassie, looking at her dad. "Neither did I," said Bonnie. "Well, that's explains your dream," whispered Cassie. "Pretty much, I think I know what to do, thanks for the information and everything," said Bonnie. "Sure," said Cassie in a smile and watched her leaving.

Cassie turned to look at her dad and Klaus still talking. When she turned back lips captured hers.

She giggled. "I thought you are sleeping in," said Cassie. "It's not fun without you, or easy without you for that matter," said Elijah. "Hungry? Bonnie ordered too much for me, I can't finish it," said Cassie. "Sure, I just need some coffee," he signaled for the waitress.

"Your brother is cranky. Rebecca is missing and Stefan took the coffins as revenge I guess," said Cassie. "Not nice love, I am not cranky, I just want back what's mine," said Klaus, joining to their booth. "Hello brother," said Elijah. "Lovely Cassie said that you are sleeping in," said Klaus. "Not anymore," said Elijah starting to eat his breakfast.

"Well, I think it's time for me and your dad to have a little chat," said Klaus standing up. Cassie sighed. "Brother," called Elijah. "Yes?" asked Klaus. "Please behave," said Elijah. "Isn't I always?" asked Klaus and took off.

Cassie and Elijah went to a walk after breakfast. They were just across from the Gilbert's house when they saw Jeremy standing in the middle of the road.

"Jer'? What are you doing?" called Cassie. He ignored her. Cassie saw the speeding car, saw Elena and Alaric coming out of the house shouting.

"Cassie!" called Elijah as she pushed Jeremy away and got the whole impact of the car.

Elijah gasped as he ran to Cassie.

"Cassie, Cassie can you hear me love?" Elijah was terrified. "I called an ambulance, they are on their way." Said Alaric. "I am so sorry," said Jeremy. "You were compelled, it's not your fault, it's my brother's," said Elijah stroking Cassie's hair.

"You hit who?!" called Klaus angrily. "I am sorry, she got in the way, pushed the boy aside," said Toni. "Two girls were off limit and you actually hurt one of them, you and I will talk soon," said Klaus and finished the call.

"Two girls off limit? One is Elena obviously, who is the other…" Damon voice trailed off as realization hit him. He vamped out and threw Klaus on the wall. "My daughter?! She stood up for you against me and your stupid hybrid hurt her?! If she dies, I will rip your heart out!" called Damon and sped away from there.

The ambulance wasn't there yet. Elijah listened to her shallow breathing, her slowing heart. "Where is this ambulance?!" called Elijah, panicked.

He bit his wrist and let his blood drip in to her mouth. At least now he knows that if she dies, she will come back to him as a vampire.

"What have you done?!" called Damon seeing Cassie's blooded mouth. "I prefer her as a vampire than dead," answered Elijah.

He listened to her speeding heart. She will be fine, alive, and still human.

"Get the hell out of here," said Damon. "Damon he just-" started Alaric but Damon refused to listen. "You had no right to do that to her, stay away from my daughter." Said Damon and sped away with Cassie in his arms.

Jeremy canceled the ambulance and leaned down to Elijah. "Why don't you come inside? Have a drink, clean up. Come on," said Jeremy softly helping him up.

"Elena do me a favor and call Bonnie," said Jeremy. "Why?" asked Elena. While Jeremy led Elijah to the kitchen counter, pouring him a drink. "She is his friend, Cassie's too, much closer than me," said Jeremy.

Elena went to make the call.

"Drink," said Jeremy. "It's over, I lost her," whispered Elijah. "No you didn't, Cassie is worst then Damon when it comes to stubbornness. But you may need to start over, you know, keep it a secret again," said Jeremy.

Elijah said nothing, just downed the drink.

Jeremy poured him the fourth drink when Bonnie came in.

She waved her hand and Elijah suit, face and hair were clean and in order.

"Hi Elijah," she said softly and sat across from him, looking in to his falling face. "It's going to be alright, I promise." She whispered and wiped away some of his tears.

Cassie came out of her shower, wearing fresh clothes and drying her hair with a towel.

"Dad I am fine." Said Cassie. He nodded saying nothing.

"Tell me something, is Jeremy o.k.?" asked Cassie. "He looked fine to me," said Damon. "And where is Elijah?" asked Cassie. "Not here and will never be here, ever again," said Damon. "And why is that mmm? Why my boyfriend can't be in my house?" asked Cassie. "Because you two are done. It's over at the moment he gave you his blood," said Damon.

"It's not your decision to make," said Cassie. "Yes it is. You are my daughter and I don't want you to be a vampire," said Damon. "So how exactly this is any different than what Stefan did to you? He made your choice to become a vampire, and you are making mine not to? If I will want to be a vampire, I will be," said Cassie.

"How he is allowed to make this decision for you?" asked Damon angrily. "He is not, and he didn't. Because if he would have done it, I was in transition right now," said Cassie.

"He gave you his blood, what if you would have die instead of healing?" asked Damon. "So I was stuck as sixteen and a half years old girl, not something that I would like much, but not a big deal either," said Cassie as she walked out of her room.

"Where are you going?!" asked Damon speeding in front of her. "Out." Said Cassie. "You are not going back to him, he is bad for you and I don't want you with him, it's over," said Damon. "Fine!" shouted Cassie and slammed the entrance door in her father's face.

_ Cassie was walking fast and away from the house while calling Bonnie.

"Hi Bonnie I need a favor," said Cassie. "What do you need?" asked Bonnie. "I need you to do a locating spell on Elijah," said Cassie. "No need, he is here with me, at the Gilberts' house," said Bonnie. "I will be there in five minutes," said Cassie and hanged up.

When Cassie came in to the Gilberts' house Elijah was sleeping on the couch.

"Hi, he is sleeping but not without help," said Jeremy as he opened the door for Cassie. "What do you mean?" asked Cassie quietly stepping in to the living room. "After your dad took you and told Elijah to stay away from you he was a mess; I helped him in and gave him some drinks, and then Elena called Bonnie," explained Jeremy.

"I cleaned him up with a simple spell and made him some tea with some herbs, calming herbs, natural sleeping pills," said Bonnie. "He was in that bad shape?" asked Cassie sadly. "Cassie he was crying, I never saw him like this, none of us did," said Jeremy.

She nodded and kneeled in front of the couch. "Thank you," she whispered to them. They nodded and left Cassie and sleeping Elijah alone.

She stroked his hair softly. "My beautiful vampire," she whispered.

Elijah's eyes opened slowly. "Cassie?" he mumbled. "Hey you," she said in a smile. Elijah's face crumbled in sadness and agony. Tears ran down his cheeks. "Hey… its o.k., don't cry," she whispered softly and climbed to the couch taking him in to her arms. "I am sorry; I am so sorry…" he kept mumbling. "Shhh…" she soothed him. "I shouldn't have done it, it was selfish I am sorry," he half whimpered. "Hey, it's o.k. I am happy you did it, I didn't want to die," said Cassie.

She wiped his tears away. "Your father, he said-"

"I know what he said. It's just mean we need to go back to sneaking around for a while, just until he calms down," said Cassie stroking his hair. She kissed his lips softly.

"I have a headache," he groaned and put his head in her lap. "It because you drank and cried a lot," said Cassie stroking his hair. "You soften me. I don't remember the last time I cried like that," said Elijah, closing his eyes. "It means you are more human than you think," said Cassie. "I am not human, I just have some humanity left in me," he mumbled. "Shhh… sleep my love," she whispered and covered him with the blanket. She put his head on the pillow and walked to the kitchen.

Cassie sighed. "Hey, are you o.k.?" asked Jeremy. Bonnie was standing next to him, worried expression on her face. "Yeah, my dad is pissed, he doesn't want me to date with Elijah anymore, and Elijah… well you saw him," said Cassie.

"Damon wouldn't buy it that you broke up with Elijah as he asked you to," said Bonnie. "I know, I am still thinking what to do about it," said Cassie.

Bonnie made them some coffee and they went up to Jeremy's room.

Cassie leaned on his bed headboard, Jeremy sat at the chair and Bonnie took the carpet.

"So any ideas?" asked Cassie, sipping from her mug. Jeremy sighed. "None,"

"Bonnie?" asked Cassie. "The only way he will believe you is if you had a new boyfriend," said Bonnie. "I am not leaving Elijah!" called Cassie. "No! No! I meant fake new boyfriend," she clarified. "Who?" asked Cassie. "Well, not Klaus, that's for sure," said Bonnie. "Why not?" asked Cassie. "He loves you too much, even as a friend, he may turn this fake-boyfriend plan in to real disaster." Said Bonnie.

"Jeremy?" suggested Cassie. "Sure," said Bonnie. She was still angry with him for kissing with his ex-dead girlfriend, Anna. "No, I am not an option," said Jeremy. "Matt?" suggested Bonnie. "No Rebecca will rip my heart out, she likes him," Said Cassie.

A knock on the door interrupt their conversation.

"Come in," said Jeremy. Elijah came in and closed the door behind him. Cassie put her mug on the bed side table and opened her arms for him. He climbed to the bed, snuggled to her body, putting his head on her chest and closing his eyes. Cassie stroked his back in a soothing manner.

Suddenly Cassie's phone started to ring.

"Hi, Nick." Said Cassie. Elijah's eyes opened at once and he growled. "Amm… it sounds like my brother," said Klaus. "Yes, your very angry brother. You got us in a lot of trouble," said Cassie. "Well, I am sorry. I just wanted to make a point," said Klaus. "With the life of a sixteen years old boy? Honey you are better than that," said Cassie. "Maybe I am not. Anyway, it got me somewhere, Elena made a deal, my daggered sister for her brother's life," said Klaus.

"Elena knew where Rebecca was?" asked Cassie. "She was the one that daggered her, they put her in your cellar," said Klaus. "What?! She was there in my house all this time?" asked Cassie, shocked.

"Yes. Anyway, I just needed to know that you are o.k. my hybrid wasn't supposed to hurt you," said Klaus. "I am fine; Elijah gave me his blood. My dad on the other hand got furious at him because of that and don't want me with him. Now we need to sneak around again," said Cassie. "So you should thank me, believe me, secretive sex is much better than the regular one," said Klaus, chuckling.

"You are unbelievable Nick. Grow up already," said Cassie, rolling her eyes. "Amm… no." said Klaus. Elijah rolled his eyes, listening to the whole conversation.

"I need to find a fake boyfriend," said Cassie. Elijah frowned. He heard some of their conversation when he woke up and went upstairs to Jeremy's room. "To fool Damon, not bad. I am more than ready for the job sweetheart," said Klaus. Elijah growled. "I wasn't going to ask you, I was trying to see if you have any ideas," said Cassie. "Well, why not me?" asked Klaus. "Because your ego is too big already, she doesn't want to make it bigger by fake-dating with you," called Bonnie.

"So you are with the witch, and my brother, who else is part of your little scam?" asked Klaus. "Jeremy," said Cassie. "So if not me, why not him?" asked Klaus. "Not an option, next," said Cassie. "The blond quarterback," said Klaus. "Your sister will kill me, next," said Cassie.

"Put him on speaker," said Jeremy. "You are on speaker now," said Cassie.

"Well, hello little witch, Gilbert boy, brother," said Klaus. "You were saying?" said Bonnie. "Fine, let's continue with the game, 'find Cassie a fake boyfriend' it's kind of fun actually," said Klaus. Elijah growled. He was still in Cassie's arms but now he was facing the room, his head leaning on Cassie's chest.

"Easy brother. What about the history teacher? Alaric?" suggested Klaus. "Still grieving on his girlfriend, that you killed, by the way," said Cassie. "And she is his student and he is an adult, it's illegal," said Jeremy. "And being with Elijah is not?" asked Klaus. "The sheriff is in the council, she knows what Elijah is, and she can't arrest him, Alaric she can," said Bonnie. "Good point little witch; what about Tyler?" asked Klaus. "Dating Caroline," said Bonnie.

"If I had my coffins back, I would have wake up my brother Kol for you, since you don't want me," said Klaus. Elijah growled, and vamp out completely. "Brother I swear to god-" started Elijah.

"Elijah! Calm down," said Cassie. Klaus was chuckling. "There is a brother that worst then Klaus? Great," said Bonnie. "Not nice little witch, I am trying to help," said Klaus. "Nick," said Cassie. "Yes love?" asked Klaus. "I am going to kill you," said Cassie. He chuckled. "Such a temper," said Klaus. Cassie rolled her eyes.

"Brother just compel her a senior or something," said Klaus. "Damon will notice that her boyfriend is compelled," said Elijah. "Lend her a hybrid," suggested Bonnie. "What was that witch?" asked Klaus. "It's actually a good one; we already know that they are sired to you, all that Cassie need to say when Damon point it out as bad thing that she doesn't care," said Jeremy.

"What do you think?" asked Cassie. "Well-"

"I was talking to Elijah," said Cassie. "Oh, so be more specific love," said Klaus. "It could work," said Elijah. "Nick?" asked Cassie. "O.k. fine, I will lend you one of my hybrids," said Klaus.

"Who?" asked Cassie. "Well, I would have say Toni, since he is my right hand, but he is also the one that hit you with the car," said Klaus. "I don't really care about it, is he young and good looking?" asked Cassie. Elijah growled. "She is right brother, if she will date with someone ugly Damon wouldn't buy it," said Klaus.

Cassie kissed Elijah's lips softly. "No making out on the phone please," said Klaus. Cassie sighed. "So how is this Toni?" asked Cassie.

"Hey mate, smile to the camera!" they could hear Klaus calling.

"Just send you a picture," said Klaus. They all leaned over Cassie's phone. "Not bad," said Bonnie. "He actually smiled," said Jeremy. "Photogenic, green eyes, dark hair, barely my type but it's not like my dad will notice," said Cassie.

They all looked at Elijah. "He is fine," said Elijah. Cassie chuckled.

"Perfect I will just tell him-"

"No way. You are not going to make a mess in that, I know you, you little demon. Just tell him that he is working for me now," said Cassie. Klaus chuckled. "Tell him to meet me at the grill and I will explain," said Cassie.

"Fine love. But you can still change your mind and take me, after all I am the prototype," said Klaus. "Nick, even if I was choosing you, you still wouldn't gain anything from that," said Cassie. "So I need to tell Toni to leave his condoms at home?" asked Klaus. Elijah was growling loudly.

"Nick. Don't push your luck," said Cassie. "It was a joke," said Klaus innocently. "Bad one; just tell him to meet me at the grill and that he need to do whatever I say," said Cassie. "O.k. love," said Klaus. "Thank you Nick," said Cassie. "What are friends for if not to find their friends fake boyfriends?" asked Klaus. Cassie rolled her eyes. "Talk to you later, bye," said Cassie. "Bye, sweetheart." Said Klaus and hanged up.

"It's going to be alright," said Cassie. "I hope so," said Elijah grumpily. "He is much hotter than Toni, right guys?" asked Cassie. "Sure," said Bonnie and Jeremy together. Elijah looked at them with raised eyebrow. "See?" asked Cassie. Elijah laughed.

"I love you, and I am going to give Toni very specific orders, so you have nothing to worry about," said Cassie. He nodded. "I love you too."
