Jake
There she was, right in front of me. Those beautiful blue eyes that I learned to love were staring back at me.
"You can see me?" she asked
I just looked at her, forgetting the pain that was streaming through my body.
"Cassie," I whispered
She ran over to me with tears falling down her face. She kneeled down taking my face in her hands, so gentle her hands were and soft.
"Jake are you okay?" she asked
"How did you get here?" I answered
"I don't know, I was falling asleep thinking about you and next thing I knew I was here," Cassie told me
I couldn't answer her back because I was so shocked that she was actually here in front me of. I missed her so much.
"What is going on?" came a voice.
I looked over to see Michelle confused and angry.
"Jake what did you do to my hunters?" she asked
I looked back at Cassie.
"She can't see me," she said
I looked at Cassie, how could Michelle not see her? She was pretty hard to miss.
"How did you get here?" I asked again
"I told you I feel asleep thinking about you and I wound up here," she said
"That doesn't make any sense," I said more to myself
"Jake!" Michelle yelled
I looked back at her.
"What did you do to my hunters?" she asked again
"I didn't do anything," I said standing up
"Well your the only one here with magic, so it had to be you."
"Why can't she see me?" Cassie asked walking over to Michelle
Cassie was in front of Michelle staring at her and she didnt notice. If the situation wasn't as bad as it was I would have laughed.
"Jake whats going on?" Isaac asked
Cassie started reaching to touch Michelle's shoulder.
"Cassie don't," I said without thinking
Cassie turned and a look of surprise crossed Michelle's face.
"What did you say?" she asked
I stood there.
"Lock him up. I want him back in his cell immediately," Michelle said.
Isaac went and grabbed a hold of me. I didn't resit, the farther I was away from Michelle so I could talk to Cassie the better.
I looked over at Cassie and sent a look to follow and she did. I guess miss leader of the council saw the look because she followed to.
Isaac threw me back in my little insane room and Cassie followed in. It looked like she walked through him.
Isaac shut the door and locked it.
I sat on the bed but winced from the pain of getting jumped.
"Here let me help you," Cassie said
She went over to the end table I had and got water and towel that was on a tray of food, water and medical stuff.
"Guess there somewhat considerate to who they jump." I thought to myself.
Cassie got a cloth and wet it in the bowl of water. She came over and sat down next me on the bed. She started gently wiping away the blood on my face.
We sat in silence, neither of us not knowing what to say.
"I just don't undertstand what happened back in the council room," Michelle's voice said coming in throught the door.
"Well he said Cassie so it had to have something to do with her," Isaac told her.
"Well I want to know how."
"There is only one thing I know of that could explain why he saw Cassie," Isaac said.
"Which is?"
"When two witches of the same circle start falling for each other, a bond is made. They have a closer look into each other's feelings and thoughts but Cassie and Jakes is different. Their bond feeds off their feeling and energy towards the each other, so it became stronger when Jake was getting jumped. All he thought about was Cassie and she him so she was able to manifest. Their bond is alot more powerful then most witch bonds," Isaac explained
"And why is that?"
"Cassie and Jake are associated with darkness. Cassie's family orginates from black magic and she defys the destiny of being with the Conant witch that was made through magic and Jake joined us, a Society of Witch Hunters. He is not with the essance of magic but the darkness that is hidden from it. Darkness is apart of them so it makes their bond strong. It binds them and rules over them," Isaac said.
"So because of being associated with dark magic, their bond is stronger than most?" Michelle asked.
"Precisley, but its mostly Cassie who makes the bond stronger because of the black magic that runs in her veins, but it doesn't mean her feelings for Jake aren't real."
That was the last Cassie and I heard from them. They continued talking about what they were going to do about the situation as we heard their footsteps fade.
I felt Cassie grab onto my hand. "I didn't know witches had bonds with each other."
"Me either," I said
I really didn't know. I did know alot about Witchcraft but nothing like this.
"And were bonded together, by darkness," Cassie said
I grabbed tighter onto her hand. "Its better then being bonded to Faye."
Cassie laughed and gave me a smile. I missed that sound.
"So where does this leave us?" I asked
"Well you heard her, were bonded together."
"Yea because we fell for each other, I wanna know if its going to stay that way," I told her.
Cassie looked at me. "I care about you alot Jake, so much that if you left me for good I wouldn't know how to get out of bed."
"I care about you alot too Cassie but I can never figure out why you care so much about me. I've done things that hurt people I care about, I made choices that kept people away from me, I've made mistakes I can't fix, why would you want someone like that?" I asked
"Because when we met you didn't show me that person. You showed me the guy who was confused about what to do with his life and how lonely he felt, whether there was something for him to live for or not. You showed me the guy who was just like me. Sad, lonely, confused and then the way it was so easy for me to talk to you made me start falling for you harder. I never opened up to anyone like I did with you and I could tell it meant alot to you too because you opened up to me. It was at the Gala that I realizied your alot more important to me then I thought," Cassie told me
I sat their in silence taking in everything she said. She was right about how I felt when I met her and right about when she opened up to me.
"Your the only girl I ever felt comfortable with. The way I talked to you and the way everything felt natural was something I haven't felt in a long time. You took the time to get to know me and see past all the accusanations people made about me, and that meant something. I never had anyone like you care for me the way you do. Your the short blonde girl I can open up to and the reason for me to keep living," I said
Silence had fallen after that. Cassie and I just looked at each other, staring into the eyes of the person who we cared about most.
I started leaning into her, wanting to her closer to me.
Cassie
He was getting closer and closer to me. The distance was closing between us and I was ready.
I felt the warmth of his lips on mine.
Stars started dancing behind my eyelids and an electric current went through me. I was happy being in his arms, I wanted to stay in his arms for as long as I could.
Jake made me feel things I didn't know I was capable of feeling. Being alone alot makes you think you can never have that strong relationship with someone that people always talk about, but with Jake I have it.
Our kiss had became more heated. I felt his tongue caressing my lower lip asking for entrance and I let him. Soon we started a battle, both of us wanting control. Soon I found my back against Jake's mattress and him hovering over me.
The kiss kept going on and on neither of us wanting to stop. Jake started placing soft kisses down my neck after he bit my lip and I sighed in happiness.
Jake had his hands underneath my shirt feeling my exposed skin and mine were wrapped in his hair. Neither of us could stop the pleasure we were feeling.
I finally put my hands under his shirt and feeling the muscle that was there and Jake moaned. I smiled to myself in the glory that I got Jake to moan before he made me.
He started kissing from my shoulder back up my neck. I could feel his hot breath on my skin.
"I care about you so much," he whispered in my ear
He started nibbling on my ear and I felt a warmth spread throughout my body. It was then I realizied how close my hands were to his belt and how tense the situation had gotten. I froze.
Jake moved his face in front of mine.
"Did I just find your turn on spot?" he asked with a teasing smirk
"Jake," I said out of breath
He studied me for a second and realized what was hapening. Jake got up and sat back on the side of the bed he did when we first came in the room. I sat next to him.
"Cassie I am so sorry," he said
"Hey its okay, were both to blame," I told him
"But I should have stopped, I shouldn't have let it get that far."
"Jake its okay, we stopped just in time. No reason to start looking for names," I said trying to lighten the mood in the room.
Jake didnt smile.
"You know I never thought of having a family," he said "I never thought of settling down and having kids, I didn't think I deserved it."
"Jake."
He didn't answer. He was staring off into space thinking hard.
I put my hand on his shoulder and he snapped out of his thoughts.
"Sorry I didn't mean to freak you out about that. Sometimes stuff like that bothers me," he said
I smiled. "Its okay. If your willing to talk about stuff like that I'm willing to listen. I want you to be comfortable around me."
"You are my comfort."
I put my head on his shoulder and wrapped my arm around him. I could feel the rise and fall of his chest.
"I'm sorry I took advantage of you like that Cassie," he whispered.
"Its okay Jake."
"You just dirve me crazy sometimes I forget to think."
I smiled and held him tighter. "I understand. Sometimes you make me feel that way too, especially since you did find the spot."
Jake smiled and put his arm around me and thats how we sat. Holding each other in the dim lighting of his prison room.
"You know what would be nice?" he asked
"Hmm?"
"Laying down next to you wrapped in my arms."
I looked up at him. "Then I guess were going to have to do that."
He smiled and kissed my forehead.
Jake was on his side with my back to him. He had his arm wrapped around me and my hand holding onto his.
I could feel the thump of his heart against me. Jake was nuzzled into my neck and I could feel his breath, I scooted closer to him so his arm was around me tighter.
I could tell he was tired and wanted to go to sleep, but he wouldn't because he knew when he woke up I would be gone.
I lay their thinking about everything that has happened. Jake and I's relationship was on a level that was now passed caring and feeling. We were still on falling but it was different, it was stronger.
"Their bond is alot more powerful then most witch bonds," I remembered the head Witch Hunter guy saying.
Speaking of Witch Hunters, why was Jake getting jumped?
"Jake?" I whispered
"Hmm?"
"Why were those guys beating you up?"
He was silent.
"Because I went after Michelle after she told Isaac to go back and kill you," he said.
I tensed. They were coming back for me?
"Don't worry Cassie, I have a plan. The Hunters won't get anywhere near you. I promise you and everyone you love will be safe," he told me
"I believe you," I said which was true.
"Lets not talk about it right now. I just want to go to sleep with you next to me and I want to wake up next to you."
I snuggled closer to him. Letting the pounding of his heart and his gentle breathing be my lullaby.
