Was it meant to be?

Chapter 31: However long it takes

We made it to Beacon Hills and Damon brought me to my apartment. We were outside of the apartment complex when my phone starts ringing again.

"Cass, will you please answer the phone." Damon says.

I sigh and answer the phone, not caring who it was.

"Hello?" I ask.

"Cassie where the hell have you been?" The voice was coming from Allison.

"Sorry Ally I had to get some things taken care of. Where are you?" I ask.

"Dereks loft, everyone's here. Including dad." Ally says.

"I'll be there as soon as possible." I said, and hang up the phone. I turn to Damon, "We have to get to Dereks loft."

He nodded his head and started speeding towards the lot as did I. When we got there everyone was there, Allison, Issaac, Lydia, Stiles, Scott, Mellissa, John, Dad, Derek, Peter, Cora, and even Deaton was there. They were all standing around hugging each other, happy that everyone was safe. I run in and instantly go to my dad, giving him the biggest hug possible.

"I'm sorry I wasn't here dad." I said, into his chest.

"It's alright, you're here now." He says, hugging me back just as tight.

I go around hugging everyone until it was finally Scotts turn.

"Hi Scotty." I said, giving him a hug and nuzzling my head into his chest. He hugged me back as well, tight, like he was scared I was going to leave.

When we pulled back from the hug he looked down to my neck and caressed it. "The bite, it's healed." He says.

"Yes, that would be because of me." A deep English accent said. I turn around and saw Klaus walking into the loft.

"Who the hell are you?" Derek says.

"Klaus Mikaelson. The original hybrid. A thousand year old vampire werewolf." He says, looking around the room. Damon was standing off the side was keeping a close eye on him to make sure he didn't do anything stupid. "I wouldn't do anything though, I am immortal and cannot be killed." He said, glancing around the room once more before landing eyes on me again.

"Klaus, what are you doing here?" I ask. I was standing in the middle of the room near the table, leaning against it with my arms crossed.

"I came to say good bye Cassandra. I'm going back to mystic Falls to take down my mother." He says, walking closer to me.

Scott didn't like that he was getting closer to me and started walking towards us but I gave him a warning look to tell him it was ok.

"Is that all?" I ask.

"Not entirely. You lied to me, earlier Cassandra. I don't like people who lie to me." He says.

"What are you talking about?"

"You said Deucalion was the one who bit you. Yet it was Jason who really did. Why did you lie to me?" He asks.

"Because you would have killed him for hurting me. You killed his entire family when he didn't protect me once. I wasn't going to let you kill him too." I said.

"I'm sorry, you killed the hybrids entire family because he couldn't protect Cassie?" Damon asks, getting closer to him.

"Of course I did. I would watch the world burn if it meant Cassandra was safe." Klaus says, looking behind him at Damon. I look at my dad who was getting mad about the situation and then to Scott, who was looking hurt about what Klaus was saying.

"Now why the hell would you care about Cassie?" Peter asks, now getting into the conversation. "You're a thousand years old. Why are you obsessed with her?"

"Yeah, I'd like to know that to." My dad says, finally speaking up.

"She knows exactly why." Klaus says, looking to me. I look away from him not wanting to face him. He comes closer and grabs my chins so I can look him in the eyes. "Cassandra, Scott's your first love. I attend to be your last, however long it takes." He says this and speeds out of the room, leaving me dumbfound.

I couldn't' look at anyone so I kept looking at the ground. Until someone cleared there throat. I looked up to see Damon walking towards me.

"I told you he was in love with you." He says, smugly.

"Damon, not now." I said, getting up of the table and walking away.

"Kid, you know you can't escape him. He is always going to be around, and we can't kill him." Damon says trying to reason with me.

"We could. We have the white oak stake." I said.

"Cass, you know that's not going to work. Not now at least." Damon says.

I sigh and look down because I know he was right. I look around at everyone in the room, remember I wasn't alone.

"I'm sorry about all of that. You shouldn't have had to see that." I said, looking around at everyone.

"Do you like him?" Scott asks.

"Scotty." I said, coming closer to him. I didn't want to talk about this in front of anyone so grab his arm and speed us out of the loft and downstairs. We were outside of the loft on the side of it. Scott grabs his stomach and leans down.

"I did not like that. How do you do it?" Scott asks.

"You kind of get used to it." I said. "Look, Scott. I don't like Klaus. He's a murder, he's killed thousands with no remorse. I would never go with a guy like that."

"But, all those things he said. He would do anything for you. I mean fuck he killed a family for you. What is he going to do to me when he finds out were dating and you're my mate." Scott says.

Although I couldn't say anything back. Scott and I haven't talked about our relationship, since we first connected. I didn't know we were dating.

"Were dating?" I ask. Scott looks shocked at what I had just said, and stats kicking the ground beneath his feet.

"I mean yeah. I thought we were." He says.

"I mean , I guess I figured we weren't because we haven't really had the talk yet." I said.

He looks back up to me and grabs both sides of my face with his hands.

"Cassie, will you be my girlfriend?" He asks.

"Of course I will Scotty." I said.

He leans in and gives me a light kiss and pulls away, but I wasn't satisfied, so I pulled him back down for another kiss. This kiss lasted longer and the more it went on the more heated it got. He pushes me against the wall and we start full on making out.

He starts kissing down my face and to my neck and starts sucking hard, leaving bruise that would heal in moments. My fingers were in his hair, tugging at the dark curls. He bites down lightly at my collar bone and I have to hold back a moan that almost escaped my lips. He starts kissing back up my neck and to my lips again, capturing them with his. We started kissing, his tounge trying to get past my lips, yet I wasn't letting him, wanting to play hard to get. So Scott grabs my neck and squeezes It hard and I let out a moan, which he uses as an opening to put his tounge in my mouth. Our tounges danced with each other, fighting for dominance, until Scott won. We finally had to pull back for air.

We were standing there, panting, trying to catch out breaths.

"That was, amazing." I said, finally after moments of silence.

"It was baby. But we should probably go back upstairs. They're probably worried about us." Scott says, caressing the side of my face.

I let out a groan, "I don't want to. I wanna stay down here with you." I said.

"Cassie, We have to go back up to our families. Besides do you really want Damon to alone up there with everyone. Especially Peter." Scott says this, and he does have a point.

I smile and grab his hand, heading up to the loft.

In this moment, I was the happiest I've ever been. Little did I know everything was going to be crashing down.
