Chapter 30: There Is Never A Moment Boring With Vampires
Cassie and Elijah danced the whole night. It was midnight when everything has change.
As the clock stroke midnight, the lights went off and the panic started.
"Elijah?" she breathed in panic as people pushed her away from him.
"I am here, I have got you sweetheart," he whispered holding her close.
A sharp scream made everyone froze.
"Blood," whispered Elijah.
"Vampires," said Cassie.
He just hummed.
"I have some weapons upstairs, I be right back," she mumbled and released her hold on him.
"Cassie!" he called but she was already gone.
Cassie was back at the ball room.
She had a night vision goggles on her eyes, her bow in her hands and arrows on her back.
She clicked a baton on her goggles and black light (exposes blood) joined to her night vision.
Cassie looked over the crowed. She spotted her Elijah first, and then, a few men with blood covered chines.
She aimed and released her first arrow.
One vampire fell down.
Then a second, third, fourth and fifth.
Suddenly she felt fangs sinking in to her neck and then-
A body falling.
"Are you alright?" asked Elijah.
"Yeah, yeah. Pull the fire alarm would you?" she breathed after drinking some of his blood to heal her neck.
"There is no fire,"
"There will be, soon enough,"
He nodded and sped away.
Cassie heard the fire alarm and watched all the people running away.
When the ball room was empty, she used her lighter to torch some of her arrows and lit the vampires' bodies on fire. Then she threw a few more burning arrows in to the room and started to walk away.
She bumped in to Elijah.
"Come on, I will speed us to our room, we grab our stuff and go back to our yacht where we will be safe," said Elijah and sped them away.
They were in the middle of the ocean again.
"You scared me to death tonight," said Elijah.
"Sorry. But I must say, it felt like home," she grinned and he sighed, pulling her against his body.
"It's too bad we need to get back so soon," said Cassie.
"We had a great time, and you need to go back to school anyway,"
"Mmm… Earlier, you said something about getting the dress off me and getting me to-"
Elijah cut her mid-sentence with his lips and sped them to the room below the deck and in to the bed.
Elijah parked in front of the mansion.
"Home sweet home," sighed Cassie.
Elijah smiled and sped to open the door of the car for her.
She kissed his lips and went to grab some of the bags even that Elijah tried to prevent her from doing so.
They got in to the house and Klaus welcomed them with little Diana on his arms.
"You are two days early," said Klaus as Diana reached for her uncle that took her in his arms with a smile.
"You know how it is, honey moon, Rome, vampires in the ball room… the usual stuff."
"Do tell," asked Klaus as they went to the living room after dropping the bags in the entrance.
"Nothing to tell, the lights went off, screaming, blood,"
"Arrows, dead vampires, fire. Don't keep out the good stuff sweetheart," said Elijah as he is playing with his giggling niece.
Cassie smiled at him.
Klaus smirked.
"Are you cooking one of those already?"
Elijah chocked on his drink.
"Not that is any of your business, but, no. we are not," said Cassie as Elijah cleared his throat.
"Just asking,"
Cassie glared at him.
"Hi guys," said Danny, she sat down next to Elijah and then noticed Cassie's glare.
"What did you do now?" she sighed.
"Nothing."
"Nicklaus," said Danny.
"Don't call me that, not you," he whined.
"Then behave,"
He pouted at her, making Diana giggle.
A little laugh came from the doorway, deep and warm.
"Hi, Ansel." Smiled Cassie.
"Hello. How was your honey moon?"
"Pleasant," said Cassie and Elijah together.
Ansel and Klaus looked at them with raised eyebrows.
Diana started to make noises and tried to get out of Elijah's hold.
"What's wrong?" asked Elijah.
"Nothing's wrong," said Caroline that just came in. "Ansel is her favorite person, when she sees him she reaches for him right away,"
"Oh. Take her, then. I don't like it that she is so unhappy," said Elijah.
Ansel grinned happily and took Diana in his arms, twirling her around, making her laugh.
Caroline chuckled and went to grab a drink.
"I didn't have time to ask you Caroline, but how is college?" asked Cassie.
"Not bad, but I miss Ansel allot; I only see him at weekends and holidays," said Caroline. Ansel gave her a warm smile while playing with Diana so they knew that he was listening.
"Yeah… I don't know, maybe I will give up on college, I don't want to be away from Elijah," said Cassie.
"Elijah can teach… something," said Caroline frowning a bit. She had no idea what he can teach.
Elijah chuckled. "I can teach history, literature and some languages,"
"Cool. See? He can teach, and you can live together on campus or close to it," said Caroline.
"We will see, I want to finish my senior year first," said Cassie.
"Obviously," said Caroline.
Ansel smiled at her.
"What?" asked Caroline.
"You are lovely," said Ansel.
"Oh." She was a bit embarrassed.
"I love you," said Ansel, embarrassing her a bit more.
"Love you too, but let's talk for a bit about how not to make your girlfriend embarrassed in public…" she said, grab his hand and pulled him up the stairs while Diana was left alone on the carpet.
Diana wobbled her lips and started to cry.
Elijah looked confused.
Klaus picked her up and started to sooth her.
"Caroline took away her favorite toy," explained Danny.
"Oh," said Elijah and chuckled.
"Well, she definitely took after her aunt Rebecca when it comes to what she wants," said Cassie, making everyone to laugh.
