Chapter 43

2:40 a.m.

Cassandra knocked in the door, hoping that someone was still awake. She bounced on the heels of her feet and fidgeted with the small piece of paper in her hand as she waited for someone to answer the door.

A light turned on and she could she a figure walking down the stairs. The door unlocked and then opened to reveal Bonnie. "Cassandra! Where have you been?" Bonnie exclaimed quietly, as she engulfed her younger cousin in a hug.

Cassandra hugged her back then pulled away from the hug. "That's the reason I came here. We need to talk." Cassandra looked into Bonnie's eyes. Bonnie could tell whatever it is Cassandra needed to talk about, it was serious.

Bonnie poured to cups of the tea, that just finished. She slid the cup across the counter where Cassandra was sitting. "Are you ready to talk about it?" Bonnie brought the cup of tea to her mouth.

"Yes, I am." Cassandra looked down in to the cup of tea before looking back up at Bonnie. She looked up. "It happened 11 months ago, I was in Vermont..."

Cassandra looked to the clock on the wall, reading the time 5:43 p.m. It was time. She walked out of the townhouse and onto the busy street. She walked across the street to where all the small shops and outdoor market were. She grabbed a small brown fabric bag and started picking fruit.

She walked around, picking up fruits and vegetables. She felt a familiar yet unfamiliar presence. She looked around and then walked to the check-out stand.

After paying for the vegetables and fruit she walked away from the market and walked into a dark alley. She could tell someone was following her. She continued walking, when she reached the end of the alley a van pulled up in front of her. The door slid open and she went to turn around but a man was there.

Before she had the chance to use her magic, old chains were placed on her wrist. The guy threw her in the van and got in, shutting the door. The van drove off.

"Who the hell are you guys?" Cassandra's voice filled with venom.

"That's not your concern right now." The red haired girl said.

"What do you want with me?" Cassandra asked cluelessly.

"You'll find out soon enough, Cassandra." A man with brown hair said.

"So you were kidnapped? I'm sorry I didn't try harder to get I contact with you." Bonnie hugged Cassandra.

"It's okay, Bon. Now the other reason I came here was to talk about Isabella." Cassandra pulled away from the hug.

"What about Isabella?" Bonnie asked.

***

"She sent you a note?" Katherine wanted confirmation that Isabella actually sent some sort of message. 

"Yes, I had just escaped Tristian and Aurora's dungeon and I ran here. When I reached the door a piece of paper fell in front of me." Cassandra grab the piece of paper from her back pocket. "Here." She held it out for someone to grab it. 

Elijah grabbed it and read it out loud. "You probably already know but Aurora, Tristian, and Lucien captured Joshua and me. I need you to tell my family if they don't already know. I'm sure exactly where we are but I know that we are un some sort of cellar, there is a small window near the ceiling and I can see trees and the moon. Please Cassandra hurry, I won't be able to escape without you and my families help. - Isabella."

"Looks like we have to move up our plan." Everyone looked at Kol. "We go tonight."
