I Will Make You Mine

Chapter 2: Startling Revelation

   Seven twenty five pm found Cassie in her new room upstairs getting ready. Dressed in dark jeans with a few stylish holes and wearing a peasant fashioned tank top, she sat in the chair before her vanity table that held her makeup. Cassie never was much for wearing a lot of makeup, besides she didn't really need it. Her skin was soft, smooth and clear while her eyelashes were long, thick and dark of their own accord. So all she applied was light base powder, a hint of blush and some purple eye shadow to matched the purple color of her top. All that was left to do was her hair and she was debating on what to do with it when there was a knock at her door.

    After calling for whomever it was to come in, Cassie saw Elena open the door, step in then close it behind her.

   "Oohh it appears that you are getting ready to go somewhere." Elena grinned and playfully nudged Cassie.

   Cassie couldn't contain her bright smile. "Yeah I got a date. I can't decide what to do with my hair. Should I leave it down or pull it up?"

   Elena stepped behind Cassie and ran the brush through Cassie's glistening brunette locks. "You know I would pull some strands off the top and sides then pull them back while leaving the rest down."

  "Sounds good." Cassie agreed and sat still while Elena did her hair.

   "So…who is it?" Elena asked in a sort of sing song teasing voice that made Cassie laugh.

   "Damon Salvatore."

    "Damon?" Elena froze.

    Cassie wondered what was wrong. "Yeah when I went to the park he showed up and asked me out on a date. He is taking me to his and Stefan's place where he is going to cook me dinner then take me for a drive around town. Why? Is something wrong?"

   Elena finished Cassie's hair then sat down on the edge of Cassie's bed. Turning in her own seat, Cassie faced her and saw the concern on Elena's pretty face.

   Elena nodded. "Yeah there kind of is. I had hoped to not ever have to tell you any of this but Damon is forcing my hand here. I don't know what he is up to but I'm going to try to find out. I don't want you getting hurt."

   "Why would Damon hurt me? And what did you not want to have to tell me?" Cassie watched Elena quizzically.

   Elena wore a serious expression and after sighing, she proceeded to tell Cassie all that she believed Cassie needed to know.

   "I know it is hard to believe but Damon is a vampire. So is Stefan. They have supernatural strength, hearing, vision, mind controlling powers and speed. Both of them were turned by a vampire named Katherine who was selfish and played the brothers against one another. When she was rounded up with other vampires in Mystic Falls, it had been believed that she had been entombed in a tomb under the old church. Damon had been persistent in wanting and trying to set her free because he loved her. Both Salvatore brothers had but while Damon still sought Katherine, Stefan found me. When we finally got into the tomb, Katherine was not in there. She had never been in there and had been roaming the whole time without caring about either of the brothers. Damon then cared nothing more for Katherine and began to pursue me. However I've always been interested in Stefan so finally after a untimely and unexpected appearance of Katherine, the trouble that ensued and finally her death, Damon moved on. I don't know what he is up too but being around or with him is dangerous. He can do unpredictable things when his emotions run high, something by the way he's still trying to deal with and get use to." Elena reached out and held Cassie's hand. "I just don't want to see you hurt."

   It was silent as Cassie tried to think on what she had just heard her cousin say. However she didn't think that it could be real. After all how could it be? Yet she didn't think her cousin would just randomly make up some story and lie to her either.
