The unknown daughter

Chapter 14: The diary

A little warning in advance: 
My writing schedule could become even more messed up for the next two months. I have to apply to University now and to say my anxiety is through the roof would be an understatement. I am buzzing with nerves. 
I don't know if I want to go somewhere else, away from home, or if I want to stay here.
Pros of staying: I don't need to pay as much, I always have a safety net to fall back on and I wouldn't be alone.
Pros of leaving: I could discover myself more; I could get away from my history here, see something new, get to know new people; the chances of running into old classmates would be really fucking small. 
What should I do? So, I'm a little stressed...
Sorry for the rant, I just need to get these things out in order to calm down. 

Lots of Love,
Hellfire.

"So what's the plan from here on out? The chamber has been opened, so what is your plan?" Marvolo looks at his two siblings expectantly. Cassiopeia seats herself on the edge of her bed, Kol leaning against her headboard, attentive eyes on his soulmate. Corvus takes a seat on the couch in the middle of the room: "Now, we wait." 

One of the Ravenclaws impatiently shouts: "Wait for what? Tell us your plan already!"  Some of the other students agree, all feeling impatient to finally find out what the teens have planned. 

Regulus and his friends have scooted closer to each other, whispering about things that no one but themselves can hear. Draco watches them with a smirk on his face. Ginny, who leaned closer to him, softly whispers: "He has the same look on his face, that you always wear when you figured something out." That gets her a pinch in the side from the white-haired male. Her other boyfriend, Theo grins mischievously: "She's not wrong, love." He gets a hand to the back of his head. But the two just laugh at his annoyance. 

Molly watches with a wide smile, something Arthur takes notice of: "You think, they are good for her?" The woman hits him softly: "Can't you see how bright she's smiling? Our little girl is happy, that's all we could ever wish for." Her husband softly hums, a smile grazing his features as they watch their youngest interact with the two males. 

Marvolo grunts: "We wait? What are you waiting for? The chamber has been opened." Cassiopeia laughs at her brother's eagerness: "I know you want the diary, brother. But getting it now would be too suspicious. We need to wait until the pieces have all fallen into their rightful place." 

Kol sneers at the reminder: "I still don't agree with this, little witch." "Well, it's too bad that no one asked you, then" The witch replies with just as much venom. She is sick of him telling her what she could do. If she wanted to do something reckless, she would. Not that she would ever do something reckless. She was a snake for a reason. All of this was well-planned, which only made his input all the worse. It's like he's questioning her intelligence.  

Stillness follows her words, only interrupted when Corvus whistles: "Wow, sis. I have never seen you lose your cool like this." Her eyes cut to him: "Sorry that I don't like it when people question me on my intellect every five minutes. It's not like I'm a bloody Gryffindor. We're not running into this face-first, we have a plan. A good plan." 

Now she looks at Kol, who is looking her in the eyes as if he's searching for something. Then, slowly, a grin creeps onto his face: "You get better every minute, darling. I like pretty little things with sharp tongues. We're going to have so much fun together." 

All Cassiopeia does, is roll her eyes. She still had hope that all of this - him - was a bad dream and she would wake up any minute. Unfortunately, she knows that that is not the case. Kol Mikaelson is really here, in corporal form, but still. And he wasn't going anywhere. Didn't mean that it's not a lot to swallow for the thirteen-year old.
