I'm starting from the part where Diana gives Cassie the chalcedony rose and tells her to be with Adam except I'm going to pick it up and twist the story a bit. Please remember to review and stuff. It's page 199 in The power if you have all the books in one then I don't know the page number sorry.

I don't own anything. Except this story and some other characters I've added.

'Well,' Melanie said. Adam wouldn't look at her, so she went on anyway. 'It was when Adam was telling us how he met you,' She said to Cassie. 'He described a connection - what you called a silver cord. You remember that?'

'Yes,' said Cassie, not moving otherwise. She was looking at Diana now too, searching Diana's face. Diana looked back serenely.

'Well, the silver cord is something real, something in old legends. The people it connects are soul mates - you know meant to be together. So when Diana and I heard about it, we knew that's what you and Adam are,' Melanie finished, sounding glad to be done explaining to people who wouldn't look at her.

'That was why I was surprised about you and Nick, you see,' Diana said to Cassie, gently. 'Because I knew you could only love Adam. And I was going to tell you in the beginning, but you were asking me to give you another chance, to let you prove you could be faithful… and I thought that was a good idea. Not for me, but for you. So you'd know, Cassie, how strong you are. Do you see?'

*This is where I pick up*

Cassie shook her head, she didn't know. 'No.' That one word had such a impact and caused a stir among the circle. Everyone had shocked looks on their faces, they all wanted to say something but Cassie continued. 'Diana, what happened today did show me how strong I am. I understand what I want now. Who I want and Adam, it's not you.' She turned to look at everyone in the circle and stopped at Nick. She addressed the whole circle although everyone knew the comment was for one person alone. 'I love Nick.'

The comment shocked everyone, she had said it with such conviction. 'But, the silver cord.' Diana said.

'It's not the same anymore. I love Adam, I really do, but I don't love him enough.' She turned to Nick and said the words he had been dying to hear again. 'I love you and I want to be with you. Forever. What do ya say Nick.'

'Are you sure?' He said silently praying she would say yes. She didn't let him down.

'Yes, I am.'

'Then I say,' He said walking to her. He put one of his arms around her waist and pulled her towards him. 'I love you too.' Their faces were inches apart, then he kissed her with more passion than ever.

There were whistles coming from the rest of the circle. 'Alright, that's enough you two.' Faye said and the two of them broke apart. Cassie could feel the blood rush to her cheeks.

'Well, what now then?' Diana asked, calmly. Adam walked over to her and whispered something in her ear. She nodded, beaming at him, he kissed her lightly.

Cassie went over to the two of them, she handed Diana the chalcedony rose. Diana smiled and hugged Cassie.

'Come on Cassie, I'll walk you home.' Nick said. She nodded and the two of them left together.

They hadn't walked far before a figure appeared in front of the two of them. The figure couldn't be seen in the darkness, it looked like a shadow. It was coming straight at them.

Okay I know this is really short but I only did this chapter so I could have the story ready for what I have planned xx

Please review because if you do I'll give you a cookie :D
