Cassiopeia

Ordinary Homecoming pt.2

After discussing the plan, they all got out of the car and made their way into the house. As they were passing by Cassie heard blonde baby vampire complaining. "How did he plan a better party than me so fast? What? Is that a band outside?" The blonde all but whined. "Who are all these people?" The Bennet disgrace said, as she looked around the Mansion. "This is weird! Where is Tyler?" Cassie heard the blonde asked as the group made their way past the duo and into the back yard.

Stefan was making his way through the crowd, when Tyler walked over carrying a box of beer. "Hey Stefan! What's up?" Tyler asked as he finally made it to the vampire. "Hey Tyler. Nice party you've got going on." Stefan said with that disinterested air he always has about him these days. "Thanks, but I'm not the one throwing it. I'm just doing what Klaus wants." Tyler nodded as he looked around his backyard, he had to admit it was a good party. "What do you mean?" Stefan asked concerned, what did he mean it wasn't his party, what did party planning have to do with Klaus.

"It's not a party, man. It's a wake." Tyler said as he looked back at Stefan with a smile, then he walked away to go put the beer with the rest of the drinks. Stefan looks to the Stage to see Klaus walking up to the mic as the crowd cheers.

"Good evening everyone! I wanna thank you for being here with me to celebrate! It's been a long time coming" Klaus said as he made eye contact with Stefan in the crowd.

Cassie made her way through the crowd towards, the drink table. Luna and Rebekah had left to dance and Theo and Draco made their way back inside to play beer pong. While she was on her way she saw Klaus and Stefan walking in her direction talking. She stopped to listen to what they were saying, she saw Stefan walk away after a minute.
Cassie had come only because it was a chance to see all the supernatural drama and because Rebekah insisted. Now that she was here she regretted promising Rebekah she would come to this, it was boring nothing had happened so far and her patience with the these high school kids was dwindling.

Cassie was sitting in the grill with teddy a couple days later, Luna had left the day before with the others to go see the rest of the family.
She's ordered her food and was waiting for it when someone walked and she could tell from the aura that it was Klaus, not looking up from her son she smirks a little and says "Niklaus Mikaelson the almighty hybrid"
"You know who I am love?" He asked clearly shocked that she knew who he was without looking.
"Everybody knows who you are." She said as she finally looked up at him.
He hummed quietly, "well I know who you are as well love."

Cassie looked at him with narrowed eyes full of suspicion, "Oh really?" She asked "what do you know about me then?" motioning to him to sit across from her.

Sitting he looked at her for a moment before answering, "Honestly love not much." He said still studying her, "But I remember years ago I was traveling through England at the time and I had passed through this little place called Surrey. There was this little girl, and she was I believe gardening. She had the darkest hair that in certain light it looked blue, and she had these eyes. They were the brightest green eyes that they didn't seem human."

Cassie's head shot up to look at him in surprise, she knew he was talking about her but she couldn't ever remember that happening. She looked at him warily, her sense of self-preservation finally kicked in and she realized just how dangerous this man actually is.

"Calm down sweetheart there's no need to look so worried, I'm not going to hurt you. You probably don't remember you couldn't have been more than 5, out in the middle of summer working in the yard. You looked up at me with these big green eyes that knew to much for someone so young." He broke eye contact and looked around the grill with uninterested eyes.

"So you've known who I was since I came to town?" Cassie asked still wary of the man in front of her. Had he been watching her the whole time, he couldn't possibly he hasn't been in town.
