CHAPTER FOURTEEN
"He helped me become who I am. To stop fighting it."

•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•

REBEKAH WALKED INTO THE HOUSE, not even wanting to face anyone, especially Klaus after learning what had happened. Bonnie had told Damon who had informed Stefan who had told her of what cassandra did in the caves. Rebekah didn't feel bad for Jeremy but she was worried about Cassandra and more importantly, what Klaus would say. She knew everyone was waiting for her, walking into the living room. Everyone sits up once they see her making Rebekah gulp. Octavia and Nathan were both staring at her with puppy dog eyes as Klaus and Elijah were patiently waiting for her to talk. Caroline knew bits and pieces but not all of it. "Nik." She says, her voice shaky which he caught onto, leaning forward in his seat.

"Rebekah." He replied, searching her eyes for an answer but Rebekah only looks away from him. "Did you get it?" Klaus asks, knowing something was wrong just by her demeanor. The girl couldn't stand still.

"Katherine stole it." Rebekah tells him as she clears her throat, playing with her fingers. Octavia groans as she glanced over towards the originals.

"I told you, Elijah should've kept her here." She mumbles, this wouldn't have happened if Elijah hadn't of rejected her advances. Katherine did what Cassandra asked and talked to Elijah but the man wasn't ready to move on yet, at least not into a relationship.

"What happened?" Elijah asks, ignoring Octavia's statement as he looks at his sister who was nervously staring at Klaus.

"Bonnie did the spell, she revealed Silas and the cure." Rebekah tells them making them nod slowly, Klaus noticed that Rebekah was alone. That made him wonder about Cassandra's safety.

"Where's Cassandra." Klaus asks, a little more stern as he hoped nothing bad had happened to her as he suggested that she go to the island without him.

"Bonnie told us.." Rebekah trails off for a moment, thinking of the right way to say it. "Cassandra was there after she was hurt, just showed up." She says making Klaus squint his eyes a little bit. "She wouldn't heal her until.." Rebekah didn't want to say it. She didn't know how Klaus would react. Bonnie told them that klaus made her promise to not raise Silas and that's exactly what she did. "Cassandra killed Jeremy, she fed his blood to Silas." Rebekah says too quickly but since they were all vampires, they all heard what she said. It was mixed reactions, Nathan was staring at her shocked, Octavia was confused while Elijah and Klaus were more on the angry side but were still a little bit concerned.

"Why the hell would she do that?" Nathan asks with a scoff, as he didn't exactly want the first immortal being just waltzing around town.

"Because I wanted to." A voice speaks up from behind Rebekah making her jump as she hadn't heard anybody come in. Turning around, the blonde is met with Cassandra but right away she could tell something was wrong.

"Cassandra." Rebekah gasps, a little startled but nonetheless she pulled the girl in for a hug. Cassandra just stands there, her face blank. "I'm so glad you're okay." She says before she is pushed away by Cassandra making her eyes fill with confusion.

"I'm not here for a reunion." Cassandra says with a roll of her eyes before she looks at the group in front of her. "I'm here to warn everyone. If anyone tries to stop Bonnie from completing the ritual, you'll find yourself in an interesting predicament." She tells the with a smirk on her face. Klaus was just staring at her, his mind trying to figure out what the hell happened on that island.

"What are you talking about?" Octavia asks as she stands up from the couch where Nathan was sitting with Caroline.

"She's finishing what Shane started." Cassandra answers, noticing the shock on everyone's faces.

"Bonnie isn't gonna kill twelve people." Caroline scoffs as she didn't believe that her best friend would ever think about doing something like that.

"Yes, she is. She wants to." Cassandra says as she turns her attention to Rebekah who was staring at the floor. "Don't you want you brothers back, Rebekah?" She asks, raising an eyebrow at the girl who's eyes widen. Rebekah did want to see them again but not if it meant doing anything for Silas. But something hits her as she stares at the girl confused.

"Wait, brothers? As in plural." Rebekah asks as she glanced at Elijah and Klaus who both stood up, they were also confused on why she said that.

"I thought it was just the people lost while trying to free Silas." Nathan says as that was what Shane had told them when they interrogated, well tortured him.

"Once Bonnie completes the final sacrifice and drops the veil.. we'll become one with the other side." Cassandra says with a sigh as she was getting bored with all of these questions, knowing Silas was wanting her back.

"You're saying that every single supernatural creature over there will come back?" Klaus asks, not exactly wanting all the people to come back and have a vengeance with him.

"You're crazy." Rebekah says as she shakes her head, stepping away from the girl who only smiles at her but it wasn't sweet, it was pure darkness.

"Am I?" She asks as she takes a step towards Rebekah and puts her hand on her cheek making the girl flinch. "You don't want to see them? Kol, Finn. Anyone you lost who's trapped in a purgatory." Cassandra tries to convince the girl, not wanting to use any powers as she really didn't see any use of doing so.

"Of course I do, but I'm not going to listen to some madman immortal." Rebekah scoffs as she slaps Cassandra's hand away from her. The girl only glares, squinting her eyes at Rebekah.

"Silas isn't a madman."  Cassandra states as the man was more logical than half the people she had ever met.

"You talked to him." Elijah says shocked, not knowing what Silas was up to with Cassandra but he knew it wasn't anything good.

"He helped me become who I am. To stop fighting it." She says as she looks at him, and just like that most of their minds clicked. Cassandra had given in, she had let the divine in completely. Klaus shakes his head, walking over to her and taking her hand in his.

"He took advantage of you, Cassandra. He needs something." Klaus tells her, not believing for one second that Silas was doing any of this to help her. Cassandra only pulls her hand away from him before taking a step closer.

"You know something?" She says as she looks into klaus's eyes and she could tell he was searching for any sign of the woman that he loved. "You can try all you want to reach Cassandra, but the truth is. I am her." Cassandra tells them, her voice was so emotionless and cold. Even with the divine, Cassandra would still have a hint of regret.

"No, she wouldn't." Rebekah gasps as she made the connection that Cassandra must have flipped the switch in order to be this cold towards them, especially Klaus.

"But she did." She says with a sinister smile as her eyes move back to Klaus who had a glare on his face. The person they were talking to wasn't Cassandra, he refused to believe that  she chose to do this.  "And don't try any, I love you, please come back. That wont work. Not when she doesn't care about you." Cassandra scoffs as she could already hear them all begging for her to come back which made her want to vomit.

"You're lying." Elijah says, not believing for one second that Cassandra had turned off her humanity. Not without being forced to.

"Am I?" Cassandra asks as she raises an eyebrow at the man. "You know, I promised that I wouldn't kill any of you but that was before, when she cared." She admits to them making all of their faces drop. "I don't think she cares much now."  She tells them, laughing a little before turning to walk to the door but not before turning around to look at them and give them one final message. "Get in our way and I will kill you." And with that, she leaves the group in pure shock, wondering how Cassandra went from wanting to kill Silas to this.

•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•

WHISTLING AS SHE WALKED INTO HER APARTMENT, Cassandra meets Silas's eyes who was curiously staring at her. He had changed his face to Stefan, Cassandra making that request as she didn't want any emotional trigger to flip the switch back on. Silas licks his bottom lip, tapping his fingers on the table, his back rested against the chair. "Cassandra, where have you been?" He asks as he was waiting impatiently for her to arrive. Cassandra only sighs as she shrugs her shoulders.

"Paying some old friends a visit." She states bluntly as she leans against the table, staring at Silas who only sighs and leans forward towards her.

"We need to talk about your power." Silas tells her making her eyebrows furrow as she didn't know what else they needed to talk about.

"You know I am the divine now, right? I know my power." Cassandra says as she sits on the table, playing with her nails as she wasn't really interested.

"But you don't know how you can use that to become so much more indestructible." Silas points out, catching her attention as she glances at him, her eyebrow perking up.

"I'm listening." Cassandra says as she turns her body to face him.

"Mind control, paralysis, killing people with the snap of your fingers.. if you learned how to do all that combined, if you melted all of your power together, you wouldn't need me to make your immortal, you'd be immortal." Silas explains with a smirk as he leans forward, Cassandra only staring back, half not convinced by it.

"And why are you helping me?" She asks as she crossed her arms, wanting to know the ulterior motive behind it.

"You're ancient. You're powerful. I'm not a fool to make an enemy out of you." Silas states as he wasn't about to make her mad because she was one of the only people who could kill him without needing a witch. Not that he was going to tell her that until after the spell.

"You're scared of me?" Cassandra asks with a snort as she couldn't believe that the first immortal being was afraid of her of all people.

"Anyone with a brain would not dare cross you." He replied with a shrug as he finishes the glass he had poured himself while she was gone.

"Say, I did accept your help." Cassandra says as she moves closer to him, squinting her eyes a little. "What's really in it for you?" She asks as she raises an eyebrow, wanting to know what he wanted in return.

"Protection." Silas states, catching her off guard as they was not what she expected him to ask for.

"You're immortal, what do you need protection against." Cassandra asks as she didn't understand why he needed protection if he couldnt die anyways.

"You'll see." Silas says as he pulls her ever so closer.

"So cryptic." Cassandra says before leaning towards him, smirking. "You know I can read your mind right?" She asks making Silas chuckle as it was a task to read his mind but she could try if she wanted to.

"So, partners?" Silas asks as he raises an eyebrow at her. Cassandra pretends to think about it but ultimately nods her head. Silas grabs a hold of her hand, pulling her closer which made her stare at him. "We have to cement it, don't we?" He asks, needing to complete the spell without her asking questions. "As long as you are with me, as long as you have this power, you cannot do anything to harm me." Silas whispers, their hands glowing as he leans into her. Purple mist forms around his mouth before he connects their lips. Cassandra was a little surprised but kissed back for a second before they pulled away from each other.

"Was the kiss necessary." Cassandra asks with an amused smirk as she glanced at the man.

"What, I'm not a good kisser? I'm 2000 years out of practice." Silas jokes making the girl roll her eyes a little bit. "It sealed the promise. It is quite unbreakable." He tells her making her sighs as she nods her head, at least knowing how to do that now.

"So, you want to find your long lost love somehow?" Cassandra guessed as that was the only thing she could think of that Silas might want.

"Something like that." Silas says, still being cryptic towards her. Cassandra only thinks for a moment before a smirk forms on her lips.

"You don't want to be out of practice... Do you?" She asks as she raises an eyebrow, moving over and straddling his waist.

"Are you trying to seduce me?" Silas asks as he chuckles, his eyes running down her body for a mere second.

"I'm just merely .. asking a question." She states, Cassandra knew it was one of the only ways for Silas's mind to be unguarded so she could read it.

"I can feel your power radiating off of you." Silas whispers as their lips hover over each other, Cassandra smirks leaning in before she is lifted onto the table, Silas standing up.  "You're a temptress, you could have any man or woman fall at your feet." He states, not falling for the charm as he moves away from the girl who only crosses her legs.

"Good to know." She says with a giggle before leaning forward. "Can't I see your face?" Cassandra asks as she gets off the table and makes her way towards him.

"What you don't like this one?" He asks as he raises an eyebrow with a smirk on his lips. Cassandra laughs, shrugging her shoulders.

"Trust me, I've had my fair share with this face. But don't you trust me?" Cassandra asks as she reaches up, pulling on the collar of his shirt. Silas only grabs her hand before leaning in close to her.

"Not yet." Silas states before dropping her hand from his body. That doesn't stop her though as she blocks him from moving, her hand stroking his cheek.

"Are you sure you don't trust me?" Cassandra asks, her voice a little seductive as she leans up towards him. Silas only looks down at her amused before walking back to the table to grab his drink.

"Your little tricks don't work on me." He tells her as he finishes it off before turning back around. Cassandra didn't seem to worried about it, shrugging it off.

"It was worth a shot." Cassandra says as she runs a hand through her hair.

"Now, why don't you go see if you can find the cure." Silas tells her as he walks back over to her and Cassandra only stands her ground.

"Why do you want it?" She asks as she puts her hands on her hips making Silas roll his eyes a little bit.

"Because I do." Silas responds simply as he raises his eyebrows at her.

"But that means I have to probably talk to them." Cassandra groaning as she didn't think this alliance had meant she had to be the one to talk to the Elena gang.

"Kill one if you want, I don't care. Just get me the cure and make sure Bonnie completes the sacrifice." Silas informs her making her purse her lips as she crossed her arms against her chest.

"You know, you really shouldn't boss me around." She tells him making him laugh as a smirk forms on his lips again.

"Because you're an emotionless, powerful, hungry vampire?" Silas asks making her squint her eyes a little bit.

"No because I won't do anything you say if you do." Cassandra bluntly responds making Silas bite the inside of his cheek. He walks over to her, pulling his hand up to her cheek and stroking it, looking deep into her eyes.

"You want to find the cure. You want to make sure Bonnie gets the sacrifice complete, don't you?" Silas as in a whisper and Cassandra stares at him for a moment but ultimately nods.

"Yes." She answers which makes him smirk victoriously. Silas only tilts his head before moving away from her.

"Good, get to work."

WALKING INTO THE SALVATORE HOUSE, she smirks as she sees the group talking in the main room. Cassandra chuckles as she runs her finger along the wall. She didn't want to talk to them but she knew it would be fun to. She was dying to rip out someone's heart and they just might stupid enough to attack her. "Would you look at this. Having a little party?" She asks as she makes her way into the room. Caroline immediately turns her head, her eyes widening as she sees the older vampire. Luckily she had informed the rest on what had occurred at Klaus's house so they knew of her current situation.

"What are you doing here?" Damon asks as his eyes flicker over her, looking for any sign of humanity but he couldnt seem to see any. Great, they got two psycho vampires to deal with.

"Can't I come say hi?" Cassandra asks with a pout before laughing, her eyes moving to Elena who was just staring blankly at the wall not wanting to be there. "What's wrong with her?" She questions as she moves closer to the doppleganger her simply looks at her.

"You killed her brother." Matt says with a scoff causing her eyes to snap to him, a smile forming on her lips.

"Guilty." Cassandra states, her finger running through Elena's hair. Elena only stares at her, her eyes flickering to her hand. "She flipped the switch." She says, it not taking a genius to figure it out. Elena would have attacked her by now if she felt anything towards Jeremy's death. "Maybe I'll actually like her now." Cassandra jokes as she pulls away from Elena and looks around the room.

"What the hell is your problem." Caroline scoffs as she crossed her arms against her chest. She hated seeing Cassandra like this, and she hated how no one kept an eye on her on that island.

"Nothing, Caroline." Cassandra says as she moves over to her for a second, before her eyes finally land on who she was actually here for. "I'm just here for Bonnie." She states, moving to the witch who didn't hesitate to walk towards her. Cassandra guessed that Silas had already gotten to her since she wasn't Cassandra's biggest fan back in the caves.

"No, she's not going anywhere with you." Stefan denies as he stands protectively in front of the witch making Cassandra stare at him, a small smirk forming on her lips.

"Oh, I think she is." She replies before pushing past Stefan and standing right in front of Bonnie. "She wants to come with me, right?" Cassandra asks as she moves her fingers up to the girls eyes. Bonnie stares at her for a moment, already making up her mind. "For Silas." She adds and everyone just stares at the witch, not thinking that she would actually go with her.

"Bonnie?" Caroline asks making Bonnie glance towards her, a sigh leaving her lips as she meets her eyes.

"I'm completing the sacrifice and you can't stop me." Bonnie tells them before taking a hold of Cassandra's hand. The girl smirks before leading her towards the door. Stefan and Damon go to move towards them but Cassandra only lifts her hand, throwing them back into the wall.

"I could rip your hearts out and not blink." Cassandra states bluntly as she looks at all of them. "But I won't. I'll allow you to live as long as you stay out of the way." She tells them before turning around but not before Damon flashes in front of her and grabs a hold of her shoulders.

"Cassandra, listen to me. This isn't you." Damon tells her as he looks at her with pleading eyes. He had just slightly gotten his best friend back and now she was gone, taken by some insane immortal.

"That's where you're wrong, Damon." Cassandra says, acting sympathetic as she takes a step closer to him. Damon was optimistic for a split second, it disappearing when he sees the fake emotion leave her eyes. "It is."
