Forty-Six | Dearly Departed

                          
"You coming to snap my neck again?" Damon asked me as I walked with Stefan towards the boarding house cell, "Because I woke up feeling completely un-murderous, and I'm pretty sure that it's safe to set me free."
                          
Stefan threw a vial of blood towards him causing the elder Salvatore to frown, "Really? You've practically bled me dry. At least spring for a bag or something. I'm thirsty."
                          
I put a bottle of water on the door between the bars with a smug smirk, "Think of it as pay back."
                          
Damon frowned, "I helped you." 
                          
"Well, you vervained the bars and it hurt like a bitch." I told him, "I'm here to babysit, just doing what Stefan has ordered."
                          
Stefan turned towards me, "Give him a vial of blood every couple of hours. If he gets too much strength back, or if he just annoys you, bleed him out again."
                          
"Oo, looks like you're gonna be bled out a lot then." I joked. Damon glared at me, "At least lighten up. It's not like you can go anywhere."
                          
I felt someones presence behind us and turned to see Klaus. My eyes widened in shock. I hadn't seen him since last night, "What are you doing here?"
                          
Klaus walked towards us, "I came to help babysit."
                          
"Me or Damon?" I asked. He didn't reply, just smiled. It was so annoying when he did that.
                          
"Like I said to Cassie, give him a vial of blood every couple of hours." Stefan said, still ignoring Damon.
                          
"Silent treatment, huh? Is that your best shot?" Damon asked Stefan before he looked to Klaus, "He's still pissed at me for sleeping with Elena."
                          
"You sure about that? 'Cause I saw him trying to sneak out of Rebekah's bed this morning, which would suggest to me that he's moved on." Klaus said.
                          
I let out a shocked laughed, "Oh wow."
                          
"Well, well. Looks like my brother ripped out a page of my revenge-sex handbook." Damon said with a small smile.
                          
"Well, why don't you two enjoy your little, uh, villain bonding time? And Cassie, don't let them turn you into one. I'll let you know when I get the dagger from Rebekah." Stefan walked away. 
                          
I stared uncomfortably at the cell door, leaning against the wall, "What do we do now?" 
                          
"Get me a blood bag." Damon's voice came from the cell.
                          
"No can do. I can get you a book. How about Twilight? Where an ordinary girl is torn between a vampire and a werewolf. Or in your case, your brother." I joked causing Klaus to chuckle. Damon remained silent, "Oh, come on. You're stuck with us all day, atleast laugh a little." 
                          
"Hm, hilarious." Damon said sarcastically.
                          
"I'm not Stefan, Damon. I actually don't mind you and Elena together." I told him.
                          
"Well, at least someone doesn't."
                          
▂▂▂▂
                          
It had been maybe half an hour since Stefan had left. I was leaning against the wall inside of the cell. Klaus was walking around whilst Damon was laying on the bed, tossing a ball into the air.
