CHAPTER SIX
THE ROAD SO FAR
( s3, ep. ? )
▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃
MONTH ONE,Grief was a funny thing, it could make one act out un-rationally and unexpectedly. Cassie had never experienced loss herself before junior year began, then the Salvatore brothers arrived and Sheila died a couple of months later.
Cassie didn't have a place in the world after that. Bonnie was mourning her grams with her family, whereas Cassie stayed at Caroline's briefly. She stayed less than five days not wanting to be a burden but that's what she was. A burden. A burden that Sheila had to for the last fifteen years of her life.
Richard Lockwood was next to go but she secretly thought it was for the better. She and Tyler had broken up long before he died but Cassie was still there for at at the funeral and gave him a shoulder to cry on.
But before all that, of course, there was the thing that started it all, the accident at Wickery bridge. The day Elena and Jeremy Gilbert become orphans. Cassie was there for the siblings, for Jenna, but Elena stopped crying after two months and told everyone she was fine.
Cassie could always see straight through her acts.
Maybe that's why she wasn't in denial for long. It wasn't a big joke because she knew Elena and that wasn't something she would ever do to her.
The five stages of grief washed over Cassie quicker than she expected, she almost felt guilty for it. Denial was first and short lived. Stefan and Klaus were in the car at the warehouse waiting for Cassie. She was staring at the doors expecting Elena to open them with a big smile on her face explaining everything was one big sick twisted joke.
It wasn't.
Then there was anger. A whole lot of anger. Cassie couldn't tolerate Klaus; she couldn't look at him or hear his voice. Two and a half weeks went of Cassie throwing something at him, siphoning Stefan to give the Original aneurysm after aneurysm, shouting, yelling, screaming at him. Surprisingly, he let her.
Next was bargaining, searching through every grimoire she owned for a spell that would bring the doppelgänger back to life, that would trade Cassie's life for Elena's. Given that Bonnie had most of Sheila's grimoires, Cassie's only source for spells, her sources were limited.
After that was depression. There was nothing Cassie could do. It was her fault Elena was dead, it was her fault Jenna was sacrificed, everything was her fault. Each night for a whole month she would cry herself to sleep, refuse to leave the car when they followed a lead, Stefan basically had to force feed her.
