A/N: Thank you so so much for reading this story it means a lot! The picture above is what I picture her to be wearing, I'll be doing that a little bit through out the book so pay attention for that! Enjoy<3

Her dress was tight. Black, long sleeved, and fit her body perfectly. She sighed, it looked gorgeous but god was it uncomfortable. Cassie looked at herself in the mirror and licked her lips, the nerves in her stomach were building up. She hadn't been back to Mystic Falls since she had died, the memories of it had been suppressed for years. She brushed off her dress and grabbed the mask off of the little night stand, she took another glance at the little motel room, it was quiet and dainty, but would work for the time being.

Cassie walked down the streets taking in the sights. It had changed so much, now it was lively and bright, modern as well. She smiled at the thought, though this town brought back dreadful memories it also brought her peace, it was the only place she ever truly lived. It was also the place she met her demise. The streets were quiet, it was getting dark and the cold wind hit her face, she closed her eyes and took in the fresh air, Mystic Falls always had a certain aroma to it, though she could never figure out what. Cassie made her way to the building in front of her, the Lockwood mansion. It was grand in every way, the lights inside shone bright, the music pouring out of it made her smile. Cassie put on her mask and adjusted it, she walked up the cement steps, and stopped in the door way, "Hello my name is Carol, who might you be?" She looked to her left to see a woman, standing there, her bright blue eyes were locked on Cassie, "I'm an old resident, used to live here when I was younger." Carol nodded slowly, it's like her eyes were staring into her soul. "Does it look much different?" Cassie chuckled, "Very." Carol looked down and smiled, "Well I hope you have fun tonight, come on in." Cassie smirked, "I'm sure I will."

Walking into the doors felt like a wave of relief, she studied those around her, people were talking, dancing, and observing the mansion. She walked further into the house, taking a look into the backyard. A familiar figure stood there, she knew who it was by the way she held herself. The way she stood and the people around her. Katherine. Cassie bit her lip, it had been a long long time since she last saw her, all she could think about was ripping her heart out. Katherine had tried to kill two of the people she cared about most, just to be a spiteful bitch.

Cassie made her way into the backyard, she stayed out of sight, Katherine turned around and smiled that god awful smile, that smile, that smirk, that showed she was in charge. She couldn't help but roll her eyes, she made her way towards the dance floor pushing through the people that got in her way. "Why you look lovely tonight, I love your dress where did you get it?" Cassie smiled, Katherine's attention turned from the man standing next to her, her face dropped, "Cassandra?" She smiled, and made her way closer, she turned so she was behind Katherine, she grabbed her shoulders, "Last time I saw you I swore something, do you remember what it was? I'd hope you do, it would be quite a shame if you didn't." Katherine shivered, "You swore you'd rip my heart out." Cassie giggled and tightened her grip, "You're right, but since I'm in such a good mood, I'll spare you the trouble," Cassie leaned in and whispered against her neck, "Plus, you might just come of use to me." She slowly drug her hands up to the side of Katerina's neck. She gave a hard swipe, a quick snapping noise came out, her body went limp and dropped inside of Cassie's arms. She looked up at the man in front of her, "Aunt Cassie." She smiled and took of her mask with her free hand, "Stefan, my favorite nephew. Mind helping out your favorite aunt?" She dropped Katherine's body, and walked off, she stopped after a few feet and turned around, Stefan hadn't moved. "Chop chop, we wouldn't want anyone noticing now would we?"

She walked into the house, Stefan followed on her tail, carrying a limp Katherine in his arms. "Why would you do that? Why would you snap her neck in front of all of those people?" Stefan grunted, adjusting her in his arms. Cassie turned around and laughed, "No one noticed calm down, the old Stefan wouldn't have cared, so why are you letting it bother you this much?" Stefan rolled his eyes and looked away, "It's a girl isn't it? My my, maybe you haven't changed all that much, still obsessing over girls, typical Stefan." She walked off and up the stairs, she saw an open door and went for it, standing in there was Damon and a blonde girl, they both turned their heads.

"Aunt Cass? Long time no see." The girl turned back and forth, "What is going on here?" Cassie walked into the room, circling the girl carefully, "Caroline Forbes? Am I correct? Actually don't even worry about answering I know I'm right. Well Caroline I'm Cassandra, Stefan and Damon's beloved aunt." She touched Caroline's shoulder carefully and turned to look at Damon. "You've changed. I like this new look." Damon rolled his eyes and huffed, "Are we done with the heart felt hellos? We've got bigger problems at hand." She scoffed, "Tell me how you really feel, god, I remember when you two were actual gentlemen." Damon mumbled something under his breath and Cassie snapped her head towards him, "Want to tell the group what you're thinking?" Damon took a step towards her, "I don't have to be a gentleman to a manipulative bitch." Cassie tilted her head and furrowed her brows, "I did nothing but protect you two your entire lives, next time, I'll kill you myself." She took another step towards him, coming eye to eye with Damon she could feel the anger radiating off of him, "Do it, you won't." Cassie shoved him lightly, "Want to test that?"

There was a thud, Stefan had dropped Katherine's body, letting it lay there, "Are you two done bickering? You're acting like children, we need to kill Katherine, there's bigger problems at hand." Cassie turned to look at Stefan and then back to Damon, "Fine, but if anyone's going to kill her, it'll be me." Damon pointed his finger at her, "Oh no, it's going to be us, not you." Cassie slapped his hand away, "I've had to deal with her all 500 some years of her life, it's going to be me." Damon rolled his eyes, "You're right, I forgot how old you were." Cassie walked over and dragged Katherine's body to the small couch in the center, "You're right, and I still look fantastic." Caroline stood there, a shocked expression on her face, "You guys cannot be serious, you have an aunt?" Cassie smiled, "Oh yes, but I'm not their mothers sister, I'm their great, great, great, great, great, I think you get the idea. I'm their aunt." Caroline narrowed her eyes, "How old are you?" Cassie sighed, "Too old."

There was a loud gasp and a few quick coughs, Katherine held her neck and looked up at Cassie. "You snapped my neck." Katherine stood up and faced Cassie, looking her directly in the eye, "That was nice compared to what I originally had planned." Cassie looked her up and down, god did she want her dead. Cassie gripped Katherine's shoulders tightly, she looked deep into her eyes. "You're going to stab yourself in the heart with a wooden stake." Katherine took a breath, she walked over went to grab the stake from Damon's hand. Katherine pressed the sharp tip to her chest, and looked up at Cassie. "Go on, do it." She slowly pressed the stake in and let out a groan. Blood started to trickle down her chest. "How did you compel her?" Caroline looked at Cassie, "I'm a special vampire." Cassie watched as Katherine pushed the stake deeper and deeper, she cried out in pain. Cassie chuckled, watching intently.

"Stop, stop whatever you're doing!" A girl came bursting through the hallway, "It's hurting Elena, her and Katherine are linked!" Cassie turned her head, "Who the hell is Elena and why should I care?" Stefan rushed towards Katherine, "Elena is my girlfriend, now please get her to stop." Cassie rolled her eyes, "This is insanity." She went over and grabbed the stake Katherine's chest, "Stop trying to kill yourself and tell me how you linked yourself to this girl Elena." Katherine paused and sighed, "I got a witch to link me to Elena so none of you could hurt me." Cassie giggled dropping the stake, "Pathetic and scared, just like always. Now, go run, go anywhere I don't care, just get out of my sight." There was a hush of wind, but before she could blink Katherine was gone. "Well that's that." She brushed off her dress and bit her lip, "All that compelling. Makes me thirsty." Damon grabbed her and turned her to face him, "Are you insane? You could've broken the link!" Cassie smirked, "You're right I could've, but then I'd be saving Elena's life and who says her life is worth saving?" Damon tightened his grip, "I do." She laughed, "The curious case of Katherine continues. You boys have not changed one bit, after over a 100 years you two still cannot figure things out for yourselves. It's sad, truly."

     Damon rolled his eyes, "I am not interested in Elena." Stefan looked between the two of them, then down at the ground, Cassie giggled, "Right, you're not interested in this Elena at all. Totally." She took a deep breath and sighed. Caroline looked at Cassie and paused, she was timid but spoke up. "Damon said you could've broken the link. How?" Cassie turned her attention to Caroline and smiled, "I'm a vampire, an old one as well. I'm one of the original vampires, one of the very first, but I wasn't the original, but I'm just so special I got to be the original heretic, a vampire, and a witch. I'm an abomination of nature. Everyone's favorite because I'm the only one of my kind." The room went silent, they stood there and watched in horror and curiosity. "Now, as much as I'd love to stand here and chat about my existence, we have bigger problems, old friends of mine, they're coming to town. They want your precious little Elena. I'm here to help, truly, but I'm not afraid to shed some blood, know that... I believe I'm done here, you lot have a nice night."
