So, I wanted to update once more before the new episode tomorrow, so I did. Thank you SO MUCH for the kind reviews I've been getting. :)

Continued...


Jake's mind is in a full-blown 'panic mode'. Cassie or Faye? How could Issac expect him choose between his ex-girlfriend, or his to-be girlfriend?

He couldn't see any way out of this; there were no shortcuts, no easy way out, he couldn't run this time.

He looked past Issac and Faye and met her eyes.

He drew strength from her gorgeous blue eyes, and he knew what to do.


Cassie watches Jake in horror as she fidgets in her bonds. She couldn't make him choose between her and Faye; the two had so much more history than she had with him, and even then, it would be cruel. She sees Jake glance over Issac and Faye to meet her eyes and somehow, she knew what to do.

"Now I know you aren't actually that sadistic, Issac."

"Ahh, but I am," the witch hunter says. And although she's standing behind her, Cassie can feel the evil smirk on his face. Growing impatient, he snaps, "Go on, I don't have all day. Choose!"

"Do you have the ingredients to kill them?" Jake played it cool.

Issac gestures to a table overflowing with a plethora of witch-hunting supplies - which included both Faye and Cassie's blood.

He moves to grab them, and for a split-second Cassie's panicking that Jake lied to her. He was actually going to kill both of them, and she was just standing here doing nothing except foolishly believing that she had influenced Jake enough that he was on their side... her side. At this point, trusting him was all she could do.

Jake holds both glasses, and it's so quiet and tense that you could hear a pin drop.

"Well?" Issac raises his eyebrows, tapping his foot impatiently. God, this was like a real-life Saw movie, Cassie thinks as she notices the torturous conflict in his eyes.

"Why don't you go to hell, Issac?" With that, Jake smashed both glasses on the ground and punched Issac in the face. The shards of glass scrambled around the room, and Issac swore profusely before grabbing him and tackling him to the ground.

"You can't walk away from this!" he snarls, grabbing Jake by the shirt collar and throwing him against the wall. Meanwhile, Faye untied herself. Seeing that she was free, Cassie stepped on the guard's foot with her heel.

Howling in pain, he let go of her and she broke free. She ran towards Faye, but a "Stop!" caused both witches to look at Issac, who was holding Jake with a knife to his throat.

"You will listen to me if you want him to live, witches. He's caused me enough trouble as it is, I would rather just off him right now. The punishment for treason is torture and death in most countries, and you should thank your lucky stars that Jake is still alive."

Both Faye and Cassie held still, their eyes on the witch hunter.

"What do you want us to do?" it was Faye who finally asked the question.

"Excellent question! Call the others in your circle, and tell them to come here. If I think you're warning them in any way, he dies."
