I wanted to cry out to him, tell him to jump off the boat and come back to me. But I knew if I did that, than that means that I'd give the witch-hunters a good reason to come back. And that means that I'd most likely loose the only person who understood, me and my powers. Yes, I, Cassie Blake come from a very long line of dark magic and witches. My father, John Blackwell was the darkest of them all!
As the boat sailed I away, I looked through the fire to Jake's eyes. His were stern, but also soft. He cares about me. That's why he wanted me too leave! Before I could stop myself, I undid the fire that was blocking my way to the rest of the dock!
"Cassie! Don't." cried Adam, taking my hand, pulling me backwards. I steadied my gaze on Jake, noticing the others along with him on the boat saw what I'd done. I whirled around. "Don't. Touch me." I yelled, shoving Adam backwards. It was like slow-motion, from when I shoved him, to when he landed at the other end of the deck. 'All of your emotions, let them go...that's how you do single magic outside the circle. Passion, anger, love...all of them! Just let them go.' I remember Jake telling me, at Faye's grandfather's lake house.
"Adam!" shouted everyone else, turning away, rushing to his aid. Perfect! I thought, smiling to myself. Loving the way this new kind of power felt, without the others, flowing inside me, waiting to be released for who knows what.
I turned around, and saw the boat had fully stopped, and that all of its passengers had seen what had happened, the one who hired Jake to kill me was in awe. Jake on the other hand knew what I was going to do. Whether he liked it or not.
I walked to the edge of the dock, I looked out into the harbor, seeing its vast, empty space. I closed my eyes, breathed in, breathed out. Relaxing myself! Slowly I concentrated on the boat, imagining it bursting into flames. The wind picked up suddenly, my blonde tendrils were flailing around my face. Then all of a sudden, there it was. What I was waiting for, the explosion! Then a splash, Jake was swimming back to the docks.
"NO! Cassie what have you done?" screamed Faye. I looked at her, "Shut. Up." I said slowly. I turned my eyes back to the water, Jake was already half way back to me, swimming as fast as he could as the debris of the now blown up boat, came soaring through the ashy night sky. "What the hell is wrong, with you?" screamed Diana, helping an injured Adam. I didn't look at her, none of them. I knew what my faced must've looked like. Darkness. Then suddenly, arms came around me, something hit me upside the head. I blacked out, but not before I saw Jake running up the dock.
~The next day~
I rolled over, opening my eyes, seeing my alarm clock. It read 10:05. "Good, you're awake." said I voice, I knew all too familiar. I looked to where it came from, and there sat Jake beside my bed.
"Jake! What happened?" I asked, sitting up, he looked at me. "You blew up the boat, last night. Don't you remember?" he asked, sitting in front of me. "No, I remember all of that, but who brought me home?" I asked, him. He smiled, softly, "Faye, and Diana. Why?" he said, "Just wondering, that's all." I said in return.
Then, he took my hand, in his. "Cassie, you do know that you used black magic, last night. Right?" he asked me, I shook my head yes. I leaned, towards him. "It felt really good, too." I whispered, just before capturing his lips in mine.
The kiss was like fire, burning deep inside me. He kissed me back, slowly his hands wrapped around my waist, pulling me to him. Mine played in his hair, then I felt his tongue sweep across my bottom lip, asking for entrance. Which I granted, his tongue and mine fought for dominance. not caring who won, I gave up. Pulling away from the kiss, I rested my head on his shoulder. His lips brushed slightly against my neck, once more. It was soft unlike all of the other kisses we've shared, which shocked me. I let out a gasp, I could feel Jakes smile against my now burning skin.
He pulled away, from me. "Cassie, as mush as I want to stay I can't. Your grandmother could come back anytime. And I'm sure you don't need any unwanted attention, today!" Jake said kissing me one last time, before walking out of my room.
I sat the dumbstruck at what just happened. Still shaking from his touch, I stood up, closed my door, went to my dresser, and got out a sky blue tank top and matching stripped pajama shorts. Reaching for the zipper, I noticed it was stuck, then all of a sudden my door opened, again.
Whoever it was, didn't say anything at first. Then they walked up behind me, moving my hair, and placed a small kiss at the base of my neck. "Need a hand?" came the persons voice. Fingers played against my skin, as they undid the zipper in one try. I gulped, as I felt the dress split in two! But whoever it was, was holding up my dress so it didn't fall to my feet. I didn't have to turn around to know who it was.
