Cassie rummaged the cabinets and got out a few bowls as Caroline tossed her some chips and she emptied them into the bowls. After the pizzas were ordered, Klaus's arm snaked around Cassie's middle and she felt the smile tugging at her lips, but Caroline's voice stopped it. "So, how did you two meet?"

"The first time or this time?" Cassie asked and Caroline gave a look. "You have to consider, Caroline I am nearly as old as the Originals, in fact I was Elijah's first sire, even if it was an accident."

"And accident?" Stefan asked, and Cassie nodded.

"I come from a family of hunters, and I had just started awakening for the first time. My brother and I separated and I was hit with one of his arrows. Elijah found me, gave me some of his blood to heal, and I went on my way. Klaus here, killed my brother and when I got there, he killed me."

"And because you died with the blood in your system, you're here now." Stefan said, and I nodded.

"Yeah, but we have met plenty of other times, just glad it wasn't a few centuries earlier." Cassie said, taking up her glass.

"Why?" Caroline asked, and Cassie suddenly felt exposed, but she sighed.

"Let's just say when I turn off my humanity it's a lot worse than when others do it." She said, dropping the topic before looking to Caroline. "Anyway, I was in New Orleans as a favor to an old friend, and Klaus was there too " 

"See Klaus, I am not the only one who sees the man behind the monster." Caroline said, and Cassie rose a brow, but dismissed it quickly enough. If she showed her emotions, it could end badly... like it had centuries ago.

Damon looked to Klaus when he spoke, before they entered the kitchen. "Let's just hope that doesn't bother her like it does others." He said, and he noted how the girls in the kitchen seemed to be getting along. It didn't surprise him much though. Caroline was still very much human despite being a vampire, and Cassie when around Klaus was humanesque, but he listened as they talked and he felt something shake in his core.

How could one vampire be worse with a flipped switch than another? The topic was dropped, and Damon looked to Anya again, giving her a look. He wanted to know if she knew anything, but then again, she and Cassie hadn't really been around each other much.

Damon spoke, "Well, at least you didn't meet Klaus locked in Mystic Falls high school." He chuckled. "Oh wait... no I met Klaus in a bar, in his body anyway."

"Why are we bonding over meeting Klaus?" Stefan asked.

"Yeah, bonding topics are generally about music and food. But food is on the way so music it is!" Caroline said. "What kinds do you like, Anya?"
