Monster Within [EDITING]

Cassie's P.O.V

Aunt Bekah and I headed down to the Wickery Bridge restoration. Rebekah www talking to Carol Lockwood while I went over to Damon, Ric, and Meredith.

"Hello." I said awkwardly.

"What is Rebekah up to? She's been snooping around in places she shouldn't be." He asked, eyeing me. Well that was blunt.

"I have absolutely no clue what you're talking about?" I said quickly. Obviously Rebekah was looking for the white stake, but Damon couldn't know that.

"Tell me again why we're here?" Ric asked.

"Well Ric, the world can't stop because you're an accidental psycho killer." Damon stated. That's when he noticed Sage.

"Who is that?" Ric asked.

"Blast from the past." Damon answered, pulling me through that crowd.

"Damon Salvatore, my favorite student." Sage said, she hadn't noticed me yet.

"Sage, my favorite teacher." Damon replied with a smirk.

"Gross." I said as Rebekah joined us.

"Look what the cat dragged in." Rebekah sneered.

"Easy Rebekah. She used to beat men for sport."

"Always quite the common." I sneered.

"Cassandra. Rebekah. What a happy surprise." Sage said, faking a smile.

"What are you doing here Sage?" I asked.

"Well I heard Finn was finally free from your casket rageaholic brother, Klaus, carted him around in." She replied.

"If you're looking for Finn, you just missed him. He left town and didn't tell a soul where he went." Rebekah said with a condescending smile.

"He probably went looking for me." She said proudly. I laughed humorlessly.

"It's been 900 years Sage. You might have a bit of an attachment problem there." I said, as she glared at me. "He probably forgot all about you."

"I doubt that." Sage snapped.

"No? Because he didn't mention you at all whilst he was offering himself up as a sacrifice. Sorry you came all this way for nothing." Rebekah sneered, walking away. I shrugged and made my way to the Gilbert house.

"So it's the ring doing it to him? No mental issues?" I asked.
