Sorry it's been a while (again)! I've got wattpad and now I usually concentrate on that, I'm so, so sorry!
Cassie's POV;
I squinted my eyes, trying to see into the dimly lit room. The first thing I felt when I awoke was more pain, but this time it was bareable. I glanced around apprehensively. There wasn't much to see other than a large candle in the corner and a small table underneath it. I leant against the cold wall. It felt like all my energy had been drained out of me and I could barely hold myself up. I'd never been so helpless in my life. I felt in my jeans pocket for the familiar bulge where my phone would be, but it was gone. They'd took my phone. It looked like I was going to be in here a while.
Adam's POV;
I tried calling Cassie again and recieved no answer...again. Obviously she was upset about something, but she couldn't just pretend I didn't exist, I atleast deserved an explanation. I decided I would go and look for her on the beach, I knew that's where she went to get away from her problems. It always amazed me how much she loved it.
I scanned the long beach as I walked, looking for any sign of life, but there was none. It was completely deserted, which was no surprise as autumn was beginning to merge to winter. Even so, Cassie was usually found here staring out to sea. Without her here sat on the sand, the beach was nothing. It was just like any other, dull, abandoned, forgotten beach. It didn't have its magic, it didn't have its queen.
"Cassie?" I shouted into the icy breeze that cut through me, hoping maybe she was hidden in one of the coves. I stayed silent for a few seconds, waiting for a reaction, but there was none. I walked further up the beach, not letting any inch of it out of my view just incase she was here. I felt a crunch under my foot as I stepped on an uneven piece of sand. Looking down, expecting to find a rock. I could barely believe my eyes when I saw its real identity. I picked the object up slowly and cautiously, making sure it was really what I thought. Cassie's mobile. I looked at the screensaver to be sure, hoping it was someone else's. It wasn't, the picture was of me and her, smiling happily against the summer sun, snuggled comfortably against each other.
"Cass?" I whispered to myself, my heart thumping. Maybe she had dropped it on her way home, maybe she had forgotten it, I hoped. I walked up to her house, gripping the phone tightly. Please, please let her be in.
I knocked and soon enough her mom answered.
"Hi Mrs. Blake. I'm really sorry to bother you, but is Cassie here?" I smiled politely at her, trying to hide the distress I felt.
"No, I think she went to the beach, you should look there," she smiled in her warm, loving voice. That was one of the things Cassie inherited from her, she was always smiling and kind to everyone. I loved that about her.
"I already have...I found her mobile," I said, my voice no longer disguising it's worry. Something was wrong, it had to be, Cassie wouldn't just go missing, she was always near.
She grabbed the phone out of my hands, her eyes widening, full of concern. "Oh no..." she whispered. "I knew they'd come."
"What are you talking about? Do you know where she is?" I asked desperately, so confused at Mrs. Blake's behaviour.
"I have an idea...You should come inside." She lead me into her old house, sitting me down on the sofa.
I gave her a questioning look, getting more frantic. Her mom looked worried, terrified. What if she was in danger? I wouldn't know what to do.
"I think witch hunters could of took her. They've been around here for a while now, I've felt their presence. They're after her, Adam." Suddenly, her face crumpled and tears spilled over her lids, making her look incredibly young, incredibly like Cassie.
"W-Witch hunters?" I repeated incredulously. It couldn't be true...Could it?
She nodded her head, confirming my disbelief. So she was in danger...
"Why her? Why Cassie?" I asked almost to myself, standing up and pacing the room as my heartbeat quickened significantly.
"Because she's his daughter, Adam," she answered anyway, not having to say his name as we both knew exactly who she meant. Black John. "If it's true, you need to save her and quick. She's in big danger, they won't think twice about hurting her. You need to call the circle, look through the books of shadows to find a locator spell. I know you can save her, Adam, please, I'm begging you," she said frantically, taking my breath away at how much she knew. The elders usually acted so clueless about our magic, but they must of known more than we thought.
I nodded. "I'll get her back, I promise," I vowed determinedly, pulling my phone out of my pocket immediately and texting the circle to meet at Diana's garage as usual.
I smiled once reassuringly at Mrs. Blake before sprinting out the door and down to Diana's house. When I got in the garage, Diana was already there.
"What's going on?" She asked curiously, laying out our coloured candles and looking at my distressed face.
"It's Cassie...She's been taken by witch hunters. I'll explain when the rest get here," I sighed tiredly. Why couldn't we just have a happy, normal, non-witchy life? Why did they have to take Cassie, of all people? Just...Why?
Cassie's POV;
My body was aching so bad it felt like every breath was an effort. I honestly thought I was dying.
"Adam," I mumbled, my brain completely disconnecting from the rest of my body. "Please help me?" I whispered in despair, almost as if he could hear me. It felt as though he could, even though it was completely impossible. He was miles away for all I knew, probably oblivious to the fact I was kidnapped. I groaned again in pain as I felt an ache shoot through my body. It hurt so bad I was sure I was about to die. I longed for unconciousness to pull me back in, hoping for nothing but darkness. I couldn't cope like this, I was ashamed of giving up, but the pain had only gotten worse and I wanted nothing more than to fall back into numbness. "Adam," I whispered again before my eyes stayed close and darkness swimmed around me again. It was a relief.
Adam's POV;
I heard her. I heard her whisper my name, beg for my help. I heard her.
