Chapter 22: Death is coming

The vampire diaries 3x15: All my children

I woke up the next morning from the ball with a killer headache. I get out of bed and go downstairs to get some medicine when I run into Rebekah and Damon.

"So, let's not make a big deal out of this." Rebekah says.

"My thoughts exactly." Damon says, leading her to the door. I was behind them; they both knew I was there.

"Besides, I expect you'll call soon enough."

Yeah, I don't think so Rebekah, of course I said that to myself.

"Let's not hold out breaths." Damon says opening the door, and Elena appearing on the other end. This should be interesting.

Damon leaves to go get a shirt on and Elena invites herself in. It was awkward between the two of us, not knowing what to talk about.

Damon finally returns with a shit that he was buttoning when walking into the living room. He was walking towards the bourbon, but not before coming to me and kissing me on the head. "Morning flower." he says. Elena looks annoyed that he was ignoring her.

"Did you stop taking vervain?" she asks, finally.

"You think Rebekah had to compel me." he ask pouring himself and I a drink.

"What's wrong with you? She tried to kill me less than 48 hours ago." she says.

"Can't we move past that Elena?" I ask, trying to ease the tension. She gives me a death look, so I look the other way sipping my drink.

"So, is that how it's going to be now? I hurt your feelings, and this is how you lash out at me?" Elena says.

I roll my eyes at her. Not everything is about you Elena.

"Well, maybe for once, something I did had nothing to do with you." Damon says.

"You should know that Esther is planning on killing her entire family. She's linked them all together will a spell whatever happens to one happens to all of them." Elena says.

"That's great, Klaus will finally be dead. We win." Damon says, raising his glass. I raise my glass to, to show the celebration, until I looked at Elena, whose face was sad.

"Why do you look like someone just shot a panda bear?" I ask.

"Because she didn't just link the siblings, she also linked Cassie to the spell." Elena says, looking over to me.

"Wait, you helped her though. You knew she was trying to kill me, and you still helped her." I said standing up and walking to Elena.

"I had no idea what she linked you until after the spell was finished. I'm sorry Cassie. She says, you're a freak of nature and the ancestor want to eliminate you as well."

Next thing I know Damon is throwing his glass against the wall.

"Fuck, now we have to stop her from doing the spell." Damon yells.

"I thought you wanted Klaus dead?" Elena asks.

"I don't want my sister dead as well." he says, looking over to me, tears forming in his eyes.

"I'm not going to die Damon; we'll figure something out. We always do." I say, going over to him and hugging him tightly."

"We'll have to figure something out before tonight, that's when she is going to do the ceremony." Elena says.

I let go of Damon, "I have to go talk to Klaus, he can help us." I say.

"Out of the question. You're not going anywhere. I'm not letting you out of my sight." Damon says, standing in front of me.

"Damon, he can help us. We need all the help we can get if we are going to stop a thousand-year-old witch." I said.

He looks down, knowing that I am right. "Fine, but be careful please." he says, hugging me once more.

I nod my head and leave for the Mikaelsons house. I get into Damon's car, knowing that he won't care that I am talking it.

After about 30 minutes I finally arrive at their house (Or mansion) and knock on the door.

The door opens and a familiar looking face is on the other side.

"Kol." I say.

"Ah yes, Cassandra. Klaus's girl." he says, stepping aside to let me in.

"I'm not Klaus's girl. Why does everyone keep saying that."

"Because he would do anything to protect you, and by anything, I mean it." he says. "Klaus, Cassandras here!" he yells.

He leaves me to stand by the door, awkwardly. When finally, Klaus comes descending down the stairs.

"Cassandra, what are you doing here?" he asks.

"I need to talk to you, somewhere private." I say. He nods his head and leads me to his room.

It's a rustic looking room, with a bed near the windows and a fireplace, with a couch in front of it. "Please sit." he says pointing to the couch.

I sit down and pull out a candle and some salt. I light the candle and throw the salt in right after it. He looks at me, confused.

"What was that for?" he asks, sitting down at the opposite end of the couch.

"It will protect our conversation from prying supernatural ears." I say, turning to be looking right at him. "Klaus, your mother. She has spelled you and all of your siblings to be connected. Whatever happens to one happens to all." I say, ripping off the bandage.

"What?" he says, his voice is dark and is eyes look like they are going to kill someone.

"She did it last night at the ball. She's planning on killing you all tonight, using Finn as a sacrifice."

"But she said she was here to be a family again." he says, looking hurt at what his mother is going to do.

"that's not all. She's linked my life as well. So, when you all die, I will too." I said, looking down at my hands.

This is when Klaus gets up and throws the center piece to the coffee table at the wall. "Now she's crossed a line. How could she link you too, your innocent." He says.

"Because I'm a monster for being a vampire and a witch, and the ancestors want me dead for it." I say. Looking back up to Klaus still standing. He gets on his knees right in front of me and holds my hands.

"I promise you; we will figure this out. You still have so much life ahead of you. You are not dying tonight." he says, holding my face.

"I know, but just in case it doesn't work out. I want to go see my family once more. Even if they are mad at me." I say, looking away.

"Then go, see them again. I will call you if we have any information."

I smile at him and lean forward turning to the side to kiss his check. "Thank you, Klaus." I say, getting up and speeding out of the room.

Now to see my family.
