CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN
"Well, you still want to get married right?"

•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•

CASSANDRA WAS LAYING IN KLAUS'S ARMS ON THEIR COUCH, her eyes shutting momentarily before feeling soft kisses on her cheeks making her wake up again. She looks at Klaus who only smiles down at her with nothing but love in his eyes. Damon was lounging on one of the chairs, minding his own business as he was there first and wasn't about the leave because of them. Klaus tries to see the emotion in cassandra's eyes but she only closes them again before he can properly look. Elijah had mentioned something to him about Cassandra still being emotionless and he hadn't taken it lightly, he wasn't about to let Elijah accuse her of not having her humanity because he knew it was there. There would be a lot more bloodshed if it wasn't.

"Greetings." Silas suddenly announces as he bursts into the house making everyone groan in annoyance. "Good morning frenemies." He says before walking to the window and opening the blinds making Cassandra squint at the bright light. "You know I'm only a few hours into my old life as a witch but somehow the sun feels warmer. Probably because I'm not cursed with having to outlive it anymore." Silas says, almost talking to himself as the rest of them didn't seem to care.

"Whats with the home invasion, Silas?" Damon asks with a groan as he stands up from his seat. Cassandra only sighs before sitting up lightly.

"Well, Damon. After two thousand years of a miserable existence. I finally get to die." Silas says with a smirk on his lips as he turns back around to face them. Cassandra had never before met someone that was more eager to die than him.

"And bring Bonnie back in the process." Cassandra adds making sure he wasn't just going to back out at the last second.

"I didn't forget our deal." Silas tells them before his eyes flicker to Klaus and Cassandra. "So, when's the wedding?" He asks but he wasn't really interested as he immediately changes the topic. "We all know that Tessa was a real vengeful bitch. Your doppleganger amara died at her hands." He mutters as he glances at Katherine who only squints her eyes at him hatefully. "But today, after two thousand years. Amara and I will finally reunite." Silas announces making Damon roll his eyes with a scoff as he crosses his arms.

"Okay, skip the mushy parts. Look, Cassandra here is just trying to have a good day. And there are promises she's expecting you to keep." Damon tells the man who only nods his head, knowing what he was referring to before looking at Cassandra.

"Oh, you don't think that I keep my promises." Silas says with a fake hurtful tone, pressing his hand towards his chest.

"You said now that you're a witch, you would bring Bonnie back from the other side." Cassandra says, almost trying to convince herself of the plan that seemed nearly impossible to accomplish because Silas wasn't exactly trustworthy.

"I did. And I can." Silas says bluntly making her squint her eyes at him.

"And you promised Damon that you would do that if he helped you." Cassandra adds making Silas nod his head as he didn't know where she was going with this.

"Yeah." He replied, looking around the room before his eyes land back on Cassandra.

"But you're kind of evil, no offense." Cassandra finishes making Silas laugh as he hears her words.

"None taken." Silas says with a smile making Cassandra roll her eyes a little bit.

"So, I'm just trying to figure out how I can trust that one of your last acts in this world will be to bring our friend back." Cassandra explains herself and Silas only stares at her for a moment. The air filling with silence.

"Did you want me to pinky swear?" He asks mockingly we he holds up his pinky towards her. Cassandra only stares bluntly at it, wondering if he was actually trying to he real or just his sarcastic self.

"I will break it." She threatens and Silas only smirks at her. Damon puts his hands on her shoulders before staring at Silas.

"She's trying to have a good day. Just tell her how it's gonna go down." Damon tells the man who only nods his head.

"I just want to destroy the other side so I don't get stuck in that pit of a purgatory when I kill myself. Before I do that, I'll bring Bonnie back. And being the amazing and incredible and all powerful witch that I am, I can totally do both things, I just have to find the anchor first and destroy it."

"The anchor?" Elijah asks as he didn't know that the other side was only bound together by something that could easily be destroyed.

"If I get rid of the anchor, the other side ceases to exist. It's in New Jersey." Silas explains to them making Damon scoff as he shakes his head.

"New Jersey? The supernatural other world is bound by an object in Snooki's backyard?" Damon asks making Silas glance at him for a moment before continuing to talk.

"It's in a stockyard and it's being shipped out, so we really need to get going." Silas tells them before smirking to himself with a dramatic sigh leaving his lips. "ah, I really love being a witch again. It's like I'm reinventing myself again. I'm like a supernatural Madonna, don't you think?" He asks them but everyone only stares blankly back at him. "Obviously we can't all go so pick. But not you." Silas says before Katherine can even think about opening her mouth.

"You're not serious." Katherine scoffs as she glares at the man who didn't seem to be too fond about her.

"No, he's not." Damon says but Silas only raises his eyebrows at the group of people in front of him.

"I'm one hundred percent serious." He interjects making everyone look at him curiously. "She's a freaky carbon copy of my one true love amara. You can understand why I don't want to stare at her imposter face all day." Silas snaps a little and Damon only squints his eyes, not understanding his logic.

"That makes no sense." He says with a roll of his eyes.

"It makes perfect sense if you were ever in love with anybody who looked exactly like her." Silas points out making Damon stay silent as he thinks to himself. Cassandra only presses her lips together to contain her laugh.

"Fine go." Katherine mutters as she turns around, not even wanting to go anyway. Cassandra walks towards Damon but Klaus only grabs her arm to stop her.

"You're not going." Klaus tells her and Cassandra only crosses her arms against her chest.

"Nik." She whines, pouting a little bit but it didn't have any effect on him as he wasn't about to put her in danger.

"No." He denies sternly making her roll her eyes a little. Damon glances over at them, knowing Klaus needed a little help.

"He's right, Cass." He tells the girl who only sighs, before nodding hesitantly but her eyes were still on Klaus.

"Just be careful." She pleads as she wraps her arms around klaus's neck and he nods his head, pressing a kiss to her cheek. Klaus thinks for a moment, remembering Silas's words about their engagement.

"When is our wedding?" Klaus asks her and she was a little taken aback by the sudden change of topic.

"I havent really thought about it." She admits with a shrug as the last thing on her mind was what day their wedding was going to be on.

"Well, you still want to get married right?" Klaus asks, almost worried for the answer but she only smiles at him before bringing him closer.

"One week." Cassandra tells him and he only smiles at her but was kind of worried about how they can put together with only a week notice. "Everything will be over and Caroline can put together a small thing. I don't need a big thing, I just need you." She states as she plants her lips softly on his and he only smiles into it, kissing her back deeply before pulling her into his arms.

•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•

CASSANDRA DIDNT EVEN WANT TO KNOW HOW CAROLINE ALREADY HEARD OF THE WEDDING PLANS. The girl was going all bridezilla even though it wasn't even her own wedding. Cassandra wanted at least another day of peace before Caroline hounded her with all the questions and requests about her wedding. So everytime she saw the blonde she would find some way to hide herself in attempt to not have to see the crazy look in her eyes.

She sees the girl walking down the hallway and immediately goes into the room next to her, closing the door quietly as to not raise suspicion that she was even there in the first place. What she didn't know was that she had invaded Katherine and Elijah's privacy. "Wow, I know you are desperate during your pregnancy but I didn't think you'd suggest a threesome." He speaks up making Cassandra glance over at the couple who were together under the sheets, Elijah on top of katherine.

"I'm hiding from Caroline. Pretend I'm not even here." Cassandra tells them as she turns back around making Elijah roll his eyes a little bit and get off of Katherine who sighs, laying back against the pillow.

"Yeah, the mood is gone." He mumbles making cassandra shrug her shoulders.

"Sorry." She says but he could tell that she didn't really mean what she said.

"Hey, I've been meaning to ask what's wrong." Elijah interjects as she was here, he might has well ask as he knew there was gonna rarely be a chance to bring it up.

"What? Nothing." Cassandra says as she furrows her eyebrows at him but she could tell in his eyes that he didn't believe her.

"I think there is." He retorts making Katherine look at him, wondering why he was so keen on there something being off with Cassandra.

"Elijah, I'm fine." Cassandra tries to assure him but he wasn't letting it go so easily.

"Did you turn your humanity on?" Elijah questions and that makes her stare at him with a shocked expression. She knew her emotions were not their but that didn't mean that she had no humanity, right?

"Elijah. Did you not see me practically break down?" She asks with a scoff and he only shrugs his shoulders. Katherine only stays quiet as she hadnt noticed anything different about the girl.

"That doesn't mean anything." Elijah says making Cassandra only roll her eyes before running a hand through her hair.

"I'm going to take a bath, I don't need your constant judgement." She says before leaving the room, practically slamming the door shut. Making her way to the bathroom, she pours herself a bath. Cassandra couldn't deny Elijah's claim but she did believe that she had a humanity. In reality, she didn't know what to say with Elijah which is why she got so snappy toward him.

Maybe he was right. Maybe her humanity was still off but it didn't feel like it to her. She didn't feel like some evil bitch who wanted to kill and not be with any of her friends. If it was off, she doubted that she would have stayed with Klaus. Or even slightly cared about the baby she was carrying.

Cassandra relaxed in the bath, trying to clear her brain of all the thoughts. She just wanted a peaceful bath. That's what she wanted at least. Of course someone had to ruin it by kicking the door open, making it hit against the wall. She opens her eyes with a groan.

"Kol!" Cassandra scolds as she watches the man just barge in. She groans as she knew he wasn't about to leave anytime soon. Kol only looks at her, thankful she had put enough bubbles in to start her own shop. "Knock much?" She asks before resting her head back against the back of the bath tub, closing her eyes as she made sure the bubbles covered her before doing so.

"Sorry, I'm just worried."Kol tells her as he sits down on the tub, his hands rubbing his face. "There's no way this is going to work." He mumbles to himself mostly and Cassandra only sighs. She looks around before reaching for her towel and standing up feom the water to wrap it around herself. She steps out, sitting next to him on the tub.

"He can do the spell." Cassandra states trying to reassure the man but Kol only scoffs, Silas didn't have a heart. He wasn't going to be a decent person and bring Bonnie back before dying.

"Will he do it though?" Kol asks her as he raises his eyebrows at the girl who stays quiet. "I keep thinking she's going to show up and tell me that the plan is off." He admits, waiting for Bonnie to magically appear and tell him that they couldn't do it.

"Kol, listen to me. I promise, no matter what happens, we will get Bonnie back." Cassandra promises making Kol think to himself for a moment, taking in her words as he didn't think there was any other way other than Silas.

"What?" He asks, his voice cracking a little bit as his eyes meet hers.

"You just have to trust me." She says and he only looks at her confused, wondering what she was talking about. It seemed Bonnie knew what she was going to suggest and was already shaking her head but cassandra couldn't see her.

"What are you going to do." Kol questions as he looks at her and Cassandra only takes a deep breath, fiddling with her fingers.

"If Silas breaks his deal.. I'll bring her back." Cassandra states making Kols eyes widen at her idea. He could hear Bonnie tell him no and even he wasn't too keen on it after realizing the true danger of her unlocking her power again.

"You can't do that without unlocking your power." He points out and he was acting like she didn't already know that. She didn't have magic unless she released her powers since she was a vampire so her natural witch abilities which she never knew she had disappeared.

"I know." Cassandra says bluntly as she sees Kols head shake frantically as he stands up from the bathtub.

"No, you can't do that." Kol tells her and she only groans. Just before he was practically begging her and now he was saying it was too dangerous?

"Maybe I can control it. I'm linked to Qetsiyah aren't I?" She asks, raising an eyebrow at the boy but he was still unconvinced. Cassandra only grabs a hold of his hand, looking him straight in the eye as she promised him.

"I will bring her back."

•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•

KLAUS DID NOT EVEN WANT TO QUESTION WHY KOL WAS IN HIS BEDROOM WITH CASSANDRA IN THE BATH. She was trying to relax and wasn't going to let Kol's need to rant interfere with her time so Cassandra climbed back into the bath after their talk about Bonnie. Klaus only walks in slowly, his eyebrows raised lightly as he flickers his eyes between them. Kol only continues to talk to her as if he wasn't even there. Klaus wasn't worried anything would ever happen between them, he was just wondering how they went from no physical contact at all to Kol sitting on the bath which Cassandra was naked in. He used to practically scream at the sight of her in a bathing suit.

"What happened?" Cassandra asks as she makes her way down the stairs, Kol and Klaus following behind her. She is met with Damon who is accompanied by Elijah and Katherine who are both glaring at him.

"We ran into a bit of a snag. Silas is gone." Damon says with a breathy chuckle as he scratches the back of his neck. Kol looks at him alarmed as he couldn't believe that they let the lunatic get away.

"What?" He asks with a scoff making Damon press his lips together as he didn't want to reveal the rest of it to them as well.

"He disappeared and now Amara is cured and easy to kill." He says it almost too fast to actually catch and if they weren't vampires, they wouldn't have heard him.

"Wait, Amara?" Cassandra questions as she remembers hearing about Silas's one true love who just so happened to be the original doppelganger too.

"Yeah, the anchor, not so much an object." Damon mumbles as he sighs, thinking about how he met Amara who basically seemed bat shit crazy after being desiccated for over two thousand years. "So, the fate of the other side where Bonnie currently resides rests on a living, breathing human being that we now need to protect." He explains to them and it only makes them more confused as they didn't know that you could actually making a living person practically into an object.

"That we need to protect?" Klaus asks as he squints at Damon who only sighs before bringing something in from outside. It's then that they see Amara tied up with ropes as she shakes her head frantically, mumbles leaving her lips. They weren't shocked at the sight of the girl, they were more confused on why Qetsiyah made her the anchor but it did make sense because Silas couldn't have what he wanted without killing his one true love.

"Everyone meet crazy pants. Crazy pants meet everyone." Damon introduces as they all just stare at Amara who continued to talk to herself. Cassandra only raises her eyebrows as she sees yet another doppleganger even though she was apparently the first one of the Petrova line. Something hits her, if they needed to protect her it meant that she could actually be killed. Well, she had taken the cure so it was pretty obvious. Why did the cure have the be so inconvenient at times.

"Wait, she took the cure out of Silas?" She questions and Damon only nods his head, not wanting to explain it for the millionth time."Isn't he gonna die then?" Cassandra asks, wondering if the true age of the immortal would catch up with him. Silas was still a witch but he wouldn't be able to fight against it, right?

•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•

I still don't understand why Silas didn't start aging but maybe he didn't have time to before Stefan killed him. ?? Idk. anyways comment.
