Jake's POV

I glanced over my shoulder to make sure no one was following us. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Conant still staring daggers at me. Then I spotted a suspicious man sitting in the corner and turned back to the Circle and Cassie. "Let's go somewhere else to talk. It's not safe here. How the abandoned house?" Cassie nodded as the Circle headed back to their cars.

"We'll meet everyone there", Diana agreed. I turned to Cassie.

"Do you want to ride with me?" I asked. Cassie nodded firmly. I lead her back to my new car. I had to ditch the last one because the witch-hunters were tracking me.

When we were in the car, Cassie turned towards me. "Are you okay, Jake?" She studied me anxiously. I turned away, not wanting her to see the pain that was showing in my eyes.

As we neared the abandoned house, Cassie was chattering away on what I had missed when I was gone. That's what I loved about her. She can keep positive even in the darkest situations. When we parked, the rest of the Circle was already here.

We walked inside to direct chaos. Diana was nearly in tears, Conant was standing there angrily, Melissa looked frightened, and Faye was just bored. "I told you, I'm not going to break up with Holden just for you, Adam. You can look at Cassie all you want, but we're not going to work out", Diana whimpered, as she stormed away. Adam took one look at Cassie and I's intertwined hands and sadly looked after Diana. He gave the rest of us an apologetic look (carefully avoiding my eyes) and ran after Diana.

Faye raised her eyebrows at me, as if to say, So what do we do now? Melissa looked quite intimidated at the fight. I actually felt sorry for Melissa. Her boyfriend and my brother, Nick dies and here is Adam and Diana having a fight in front of her face.

Faye strolled over confidently, leaning against the wall, and asked, "What now, bitch?"

I sighed. She was clearly still pissed at me for sleeping with her, than ditching her, and then choosing Cassie. " Let's wait until Conant and Diana comes back". As if on cue, Diana strolls in with red eyes, a clear sign she was crying. Conant walks after her, trying to get her to listen. I quickly began, "Now everybody's here, I can tell you what I meant to tell you, the witch-hunters are after Cassie, and I've been doing everything in my power to try and stop them. But somethings are inevitable. Every one of you is in danger. Do you hear me?" I said seriously. "The witch-hunters will do anything to capture Cassie. And kill anyone that tries to stop them in the way. Also they decide that since they're here, they might as well finish all of you off, too."

"Jake?", Cassie asked in a tentative voice. "When you say 'they', is it only the witch-hunters?"

I hesitated. I know whatever I say next will give it away. I shrugged instead. "Perhaps the council is coming, too. I can't be sure". Cassie nodded, satisfied with this answer. I immediately felt guilty for lying to her. But it's for her own good, so I push the guilt away. The Circle looked shocked. I can't blame them, if I were one of them, and when the witch-hunters were thought to finally leave for good, they decide to come back, I would personally be terrified. Not that I would let it show, of course. I glanced outside the window, and saw a raven. My blood turned cold and I froze. It can't be.

Cassie's POV

I peeked up at Jake. He seems distracted, somehow. I followed his gaze outside the window and only spotted a blur of black. I tried to shake off that feeling of unease. He caught me looking and smiled at me. I grinned back up at him, ever since Jake came back, I have this warm fuzzy feeling inside me every time he smiles or even looks at me.

Jake wrapped his arm around me, and held me comfortingly.

"It's all going to turn out alright in the end", he assured. He looked around at the rest of the Circle and for a second, I thought he was hesitating. But then that moment was quickly gone and my doubt disappeared. Jake would never betray us, I thought to myself. "We have to hide until it's over. I have a couple safe houses in the woods that you can stay in until the danger passes", Jake continued.

"No way", Adam interrupted. "We're not going to hide and do nothing. And what about our families?"

"They can hide with you", Jake said. "And you have to hide. You don't know what you're going against."

Adam huffed at Jake in frustration. "You know that's never going to happen."

Everyone else just watched Adam and Jake arguing back and forth like a tennis ball match. Meanwhile, I gazed out the window again, only this time I see a raven that makes my insides freeze. There's just something that's not right about this whole scene. I tried to shake off that feeling, but then I realized everyone else had noticed the raven too and Jake was the most panicked of all. "They're coming." Those two words Jake said sent everything into chaos. Again.

A/N Sorry this chapter was so short. I was running out of ideas, so if u have any, pm me or review;)
