It had been close to four years since I last saw my 'brothers' back in Ipswich. After numerous times trying to muster enough courage to go home, I finally made my decision to leave California and head home to my mother, brother and his friends whom I considered as my other brothers since we had been so close before the 'incident'.

"CASS!! Com'on and get your ass here before I come in there and drag you out of that room!" Lissie shouted. Liz was my best friend while I was staying in California. She was one of the best friends a person could have.

"Alright already, I'm coming." I replied back grabbing my brown duffle bag from the chair and slinging it on my shoulder. I turned around in my room one last time and internally sighed. For the past four years, this very room had been a safe refuge for me. A safe harbor during all those times of hardships. But today, things are going to change. I slowly walked to my door opening it and letting myself out before closing it for the last time. Tomorrow my new life begins. I slowly walking in the direction of the elevators and met with Liz on the ground floor pacing impatiently.

"Alright I'm ready, let's go," I said to Liz before heading out of the lobby area in the direction of the waiting cab driver. She followed close behind me dragging her three luggages.

After half an hour of silent conversations in the cab, we finally made it to the airport. We went through screening and boarded our plane that was bound for Ipswich.

"Hey Liz" I broke the eerie silence between us while I seated comfortably in my plane chair.

"Yeah?" She questioned grabbing her Ipod before seating herself back in her seat.

"Well, I just wanted to thank you again for agreeing to follow me back home to Ipswich and schooling with me there…. I know you have better things to do than just tag along with me.. So I just want to..T…Thank y…"I strutted.

"Don't mention it," She answered before I could finish my sentence. "Besides, Ipswich Academy is one of the best Academies to go to if u want to go to Harvard and also, I've been dying to see the boys that you've been rambling about for so long." She added quietly.

I couldn't help but giggle at her last comment. I sighed leaning back into my seat, into a comfortable position before letting my mind run free upon the thousands of questions that were flooding my head; 'How are the boys going to react with me returning? Will they remember me? Will they hate me after what I did to them? Are they going to forgive me?' I was cut of mid thought feeling a little pressure on my shoulder. I turned around and found that Liz had her hand on my shoulder and was applying light pressure on it.

"Cass, have you even been listening to me?" She asked me with a questioned look.

"Sorry Liz I guess I just got so caught up with my own world I didn't listen to you. Erm, what were u saying?" I replied

She bit her bottom lip before speaking again "Do…do you think they'll like me?" She squeaked softly.

I started to laugh at the worried look on her face before I answered her. "Of course they'll like you silly." 'It whether they'll like me that I'm worried about' I stated mentally to myself

"You rely think so?" She asked with a little enthusiasm in her face.

"No I don't think so." I saw the sudden enthusiasm fall from her face. I smiled at her before I continued, "I know they'll like you." Her face shot up and her smile grew bigger.

"Thanks" She said before leaning into her seat and started to hum a song to herself.

During the flight, I started to think of the day that I left Ipswich. The day I left my family behind. The dreaded day that I've been keeping at the back of my mind and trying to completely forget about.

Flashback

It was 20th September, it had been a week since my brother, Caleb and me received our powers. We were both walking hand in hand around our backyard. Mother suddenly called us to the house. Both of us obediently walked towards the house to where our mother had called us.

"Yes mommy, you called? A thirteen year old me asked my mother.

Evelyn turned around to Caleb telling him to go up to his room. He nodded and did as he was told without question. As soon as Caleb left, I saw it in mommy's eyes, the pain she was trying so hard to hold back. I walked to her and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"Mommy what's wrong?" I asked.

"It's your father sweetie, he's becoming more and more sick" Evelyn stated.

"Will daddy be ok?" I asked concerned. My father, James had always been healthy, it was unusual to find him sick but recently, James has been 'Using' a lot and me and Caleb knew what that meant. James had always warned us from young that the power we get from thirteen is addictive and that if you 'Use' it too much, your life would be sucked from you. Evelyn remained quiet and tears began to form in her eyes. I had never seen my mother cry; all I wanted to do was to take all the pain from her face away because I missed her carefree smiling. She had one of the most beautiful smiles but recently she's been down and wouldn't smile anymore.

"Mommy, everything will be ok." I said trying to comfort my mother with what little I could do. She suddenly stood up and started to walk, I followed her wondering where she was going. It surprised me a little that she headed straight to my room. I followed her into my room and saw that all my clothes were packed in big baggages.

"Mommy, why are all my clothes packed up?" I asked in total confusion. Evelyn remained silent, tears still streaking down her face. She turned around slowly and looked at me.

"You're going to go and stay with one of mommy's friends in California ok." She answered her tone matched someone who was dead.

"But. Why am I going?" I questioned.

"It's for your own good Cassie darling." Evelyn stated.

"My own good?? What do you mean mommy? I'm confused." I answered even more confused then before.

"Your father told me to send you there. He said it was for your best that you not be here for the next few years." Evelyn said as a few more tears started to streak down her face.

"YEARS!!" I shouted the words. "Mommy what do you mean that 'it's the best for me not to be here for the next few years'. I don't want to leave you all for a few years!" I said in a voice that was sad.

"I'm sorry honey, but I have to do as your father wishes." Evelyn said looking away from me to the bedside window.

"I'm. Not. Going." I said through clenched teeth.

"CASSANDRA JOELYN DANVERS! Don't you dare talk to me like that again" Evelyn started to yell at me.

I was taken aback because this was the first time that my mother and me had even gone into a fight and I had raised my voice to her. Tears started to weld up in my eyes and I couldn't control them any longed and let them flow down my face dropping to the ground with soft 'thuds'.

"Com'on now lets go, the car is waiting for you outside" Evelyn said after what seemed like hours but it was merely minutes.

"But…I…I…" I stuttered.

"Cassie you are going to do as I say. You are to march down that flight of stairs and walk out of this house in that car to the airport and take that plane to California. Do you hear me!" Evelyn said with finality. "DO YOU HEAR ME!" Evelyn all but shrieked at me. I slowly nodded my head down in defeat. I did as I was told. I went to the car waiting outside and got into it. I took the plane to California and when I got down from California, I meet with mommy's friend who looked like a kind lady with a genuine smile.

She smiled at me but all I could do was look up at her with a tear-streaked face and continue to cry quietly. I was like my own personnel hell. All I wanted to do at the moment was to die but I couldn't muster enough energy within me to anything other then to cry and whimper at the thought that I wasn't loved anymore by my parents. I cried all throughout the day. That day I cried the most in my entire life. Even when my grandmother had died when I was 10 years old, I had never cried like this before. I had never cried this much in my entire lifetime.

End Flashback

"Cass! Cass! Com'on girl get up, were here!" Liz silently shouted in my ear while lightly shaking my shoulders. I got up a little startled and looked at her. She turned up and looked at me in the eyes before saying "Cass, why are you crying?"

I instantly turned away from her clearing the tear streaks that were present on my face before answering back. "Oh, it's nothing. I just got some dirt in my eyes." I lied easily.

"Com'on let's go before they chase us out of the plane." I stated jokingly.

We both left the plane and went to the baggage collection point. Once we collected our bags, we walked out of the airport looking around trying to find any of the boys that were supposed to meet us. I had called Evelyn a week before I planned to return and she promised me that one of the 'Sons' would be there to greet us.

Suddenly, I turned my head to the corner and found not one but all the 'Sons' standing before me. I stood frozen on the spot when I spotted my brother Caleb silently talking to the other 'Sons'. I felt my heart give a sudden squeeze when I saw Caleb and the tears, which I had been fighting; to hold back started to freely flow down my face.

Caleb suddenly turned around and froze looking straight at me brown eyes meeting brown eyes.

"Cassie!?" Was all he said.
