Love At First Sight - Klaus Love Story(Vampire Diaries)

Part 2

"I have to go somewhere Daddy" Cassandra said.

It had been twelve years since Elijah found Cassandra in the woods.

At first, she was a responsibility and an asset, then she became a companion and a friend and now she was like a daughter to him. He had unofficially adopted her not to long ago, so hearing she had to go somewhere was like a little piece of his heart dying. He didn't like the thought of her going somewhere in this big and dangerous world without him to protect her, especially not with her sight being as poor as it was now, she could barely see anymore and had to use a cane to go about in the world outside their house.

"Why Cassandra? It is too dangerous" Elijah stated, she was probably the only person in the world who could detect the small tremor of fear that was concealed in his voice.

"I don't know Daddy, all I know is that I have to go to Mystic Falls. Something important is happening and..." she stopped in the middle of her sentence and stood frozen only her eyes moving, Elijah had learned to be patient with her when she got a vision and just stood ready to catch her if it was too forceful.

Suddenly she gasped and lost her balance, Elijah was ready with a steadying hand on her shoulder.

"It seems you have to come to Daddy. It has something to do with your family and a curse"

"Niklaus" he stated with venom in his voice, but she could hear the sadness in it too.

"Do not judge yet Father, I feel a reunion with your family is coming" Cassandra only called him Father if she was angry at him or if he was missing something and since she wasn't angry he asked.

"What do you know Cassandra, he told me my family was at the bottom of the ocean"

"Exactly" she gloated a little, she always liked knowing something he didn't, she said it made it more even. He had experience, she had knowledge.

"I think you had better explain" he stated.

"All you know is what he told you, but how can that be true, if I know you will see them again" she asked, sounding a little smug.

"So they are not lost to me?"

"No, but you must act like they are, or things will not turnout the way they are supposed to" she said, in a very serous tone. He had learned not to argue when she used that tone of voice, it never went well for him and he always ended op having to apologise to her after. He had also learned that she only shared a vision when it was important.

"Is there something more I should know?" he asked, just to be on the safe side.

She thought for a moment.

"Just remember that, sometimes, family is more important than honour."

He looked at her for a moment, thinking. He took his honour very seriously, so it must be of great importance that she asked him to put it aside in the future.

"I understand"

Suddenly all the serous air was gone from around her, like she had taken off a cloak, and only his darling little daughter was left, with her usual childishness, she said

"We had better begin packing Daddy and by we, I, of course mean you. We should be there no later than a week"

He smiled fondly at her.

"Of course princess. I will start packing tomorrow. It is time for you to go to bed"

"Exactly how long is it that I have to have a bedtime, I'm already seventeen Daddy, I should be in charge of when I go to bed" she said a little grumblingly.

"We have had this conversation before sweetheart, when you are twenty-one you can start choosing when you go to bed and you can drink a little, but no..."

"Yes yes" she interrupted "no boys until I'm thirty and no sex at all, but what about when I meet my mate..." she stopped looking slightly nervous.

"Mate?" he asked slowly, she could hear the treat in his voice for whoever was her mate out there, he was ready to run out and castrate him, before she ever had a chance of meeting him.

"Weeell" she said slowly "I don't know who he is, I just know he is out there somewhere and that we are meant to be together and that something will pull us together as soon as we meet"

"Why did you never tell me of this mate you have, as you put it, out there somewhere?" he asked a little hurt she would hide something like that from him.

"I didn't know until very recently and I didn't know how to tell you. You are not very happy with the thought of me out in the world, and thinking of me having a boyfriend makes you want to kill everyone of the male species. I simply wasn't sure how to tell you" she said sadly, Elijah could see what she meant, he was very protective of his little princess.

"I will accept him as long as he doesn't hurt you, if he does, I will kill him" and he meant it, he would try to accept his little princesses mate, but if he hurt her, there was no place he could hide, Elijah would find and kill him.

"Thank you Daddy, I love you" she said happily

"I love you too sweetheart, go to bed. I will see you in the morning" he said kissing her on her forehead.
