Authors Note: I know I already put a reminder of the ending on chapter eight but I'm going to do it again.

Previously:

Spenser

Cassie held her hand up and used powers she didn't even know she possessed to clamp Kate's lips closed.

Kate's eyes widened in shock, "If they don't stop I'll make what happened with the familiars look like a day at the spa," Cassie leaned in enunciating her words.

"Now do we have an understanding?"

Cassie let Kate feel the extent of her power full force and Kate just nodded, frightened beyond belief. "Good."

As she turned to walk away she was met by the shocked expressions of Reid and Tyler. Cassie's previous actions hit her like a ton of bricks, since when did she use her powers against people? Since when did she have THAT much power?

Now

Danvers Mansion

Caleb pounded Cassie's bedroom door, Pogue and Tyler sitting beside him, "Cassie come on out already we should talk about what happened with Kate, It's not your fault Cass." When there was no response Caleb sighed, it had been like this since they got back from school, "Oh come on! It's been three hours you have to come out eventually."

"She's not coming out till she's good and ready Caleb, just give her some time," Pogue said attempting to sooth his friends' nerves from his seat on the floor next to the oldest Son of Ipswich.

Pogue partially felt responsible for what happened in the cafeteria that day, after all if he'd never dated Kate, never told her their secret, she would never have come after Cassie and the incident in the cafeteria would never had happened.

Unfortunately it had and now the three Sons were sitting outside Cassie's room while inside the girl he had come to think of as a friend was huddled up in her room refusing to leave and feeling tons of remorse for using her powers against someone like that. Really has Kate always been this big of a bitch.

With the rumors Kate and Kira had been spreading around Spencer about Cassie he knew it was just a matter of time before she reacted, he just wished he had anticipated how long it would take for said reaction the way Tyler and Reid had. He wished he had been with Cassie when she had her error in judgment, trust Reid and Tyler to be so stuck in their own shock they didn't even think about what their lack of action could have cost the group.

"I should have been there," Caleb said, unknowingly voicing his best friends thoughts.

Tyler looked at the two and shook his head, sighing, "You guys didn't see her in there, it was dangerous, she looked like was going to lose it. At first I thought she was going to hit Kate right then and there, instead she used her powers and god the energy coming off of her was unlike anything I've ever felt before. "

"Did it look like anyone noticed, like we'd been exposed?" Caleb asked knowing that if they had he would protect what he considered his family tooth and nail.

Tyler shook his head, "No man, you know Aaron and his band of idiots share a brain, they saw that Cassie was angry and my guess is they thought there was gonna be a fight." Tyler laughed, "I half expected one of those morons to yell 'chick fight' when it was all going down, and hey if it had just been a fight I would have suggesting we get some Jell-O from the back of the cafeteria myself."

Suddenly they simultaneously jumped a little in their seats as they heard the sound of glass shattering in Cassie's room . "Tyler I can hear you, you know," Cassie called out from her bedroom which she had magically locked to keep the Sons from getting in.

Both Pogue and Caleb glared at Tyler for having upset Cassie even more then she had previously been since that made them guilty by association. Tyler looked at his two companions sheepishly and shrugged, "Sorry."

Suddenly the three heard the downstairs door slam and Reid bounded up the "Well lookey here just as I predicted, you three still haven't gotten her out of the room or made any progress whatsoever , not a surprise really." Reid leaned in and whispered, "It's cause you lack the Garwin finesse. But no worries boys Reid is here to save the day."

Tyler sighed, "Reid, if she isn't letting us in, what makes you think you're any different?"

"Why Tyler I'm surprised that you of all people doubt my ability to get Cassie to open that door, have you not learned yet not underestimate my abilities to get inside a girls bedroom? In fact would you boys like to make a wager that Cassie will open that door in the next, oh, five minutes. Loser has to buy the winner their round of drinks at Nicky's for the next month."

Pogue smirked and looked at his fellow Sons who each looked at him and nodded their heads in agreement, "You're on Garwin."

"Good," Reid clamped his hands together and began to knock on Cassie's door but stopped inches before his fist his the door, "because I brought reinforcements." Reid turned around just as Sarah came bounding up the stairs carrying two heavy looking grocery bags.

"No, no Reid I really don't need your help getting the groceries out of the car and hauling them through the driveway and up a flight of stairs," an angry looking Sarah quipped sarcastically before throwing the bags at Reid to hold.

"Really Garwin you are just SUCH a gentlemen.'

"Anytime, Sarah, anytime."

Sarah turned to Caleb and kissed him on the cheek before wrapping her arms around his neck and asking, "What am I working with?"

Caleb smiled down at his girlfriend loving that she was so willing to take charge and save Cassie from herself. "You heard what happened in the cafeteria?"

Sarah nodded, "Reid filled me in," she shrugged, "and even if he hadn't it was kind of all anyone would talk about after lunch."

"Yeah we figured as much, with the number of students in the cafeteria to witness her and Kate's fight I don't think it's an exaggeration to say the whole school knows at least some of what happened in the cafeteria today. The problem is Cassie hasn't left her room since we got here and she's started to break things."

"Right okay, let me see what I can do." Sarah knocked on Cassie's bedroom door, "Cassie, it's Sarah, I come in peace and I bring chocolate."

The boys ears perked up when they heard Cassie pipe up, "What kind? Dark chocolate or milk?"

Sarah smiled, "I thought given the situation we'd go with the dark chocolate."

"Okay you can come in," the Sons sighed in relief, "but only you Sarah," then slumped back on the floor.

The Sons felt Cassie use her powers to unlock her bedroom door and Sarah crept in with the two bags she had brought in with her.

Reid did a double take, "Wait, both of those bags were full of chocolate? What the hell that probably weighs more than Cassie."

Cassie's Room

Sarah breezed past Cassie and began to lay out the contents of the bags onto the bed. Cassie eyed her wearily, "I suppose you know what happened with Kate today."

Sarah looked up from what she was doing, "You know it's funny, when I first met you I thought you were this badass being and nothing and no one could bring you down. Do you remember when you faced down the Sons? Yet here we are, a few weeks later and you let Kate Tunney get to you. It's not just that you used your powers on her, it's that it was over something as meaningless as the Spenser rumor mill, it's about the fact that if anyone noticed you using your powers both you and the Sons could have been exposed."

Cassie heard Sarah sniffle and touched her shoulder, "I wouldn't just be losing Caleb if someone finds out about you guys, I'll lose all of my friends and God knows what they would do to you." She wiped away her tears and snorted, "Wow I sure am doing a great job at comforting you huh Cass."

Cassie swiped a Godiva bar from her bed and waved it in front of Sarah, "Chocolate?" They laughed and Sarah took the bar. Soon Cassie sobered, "They could still be exposed, if Kate decides to talk."

Sarah shook her head and waved the Godiva bar in the air, "Not going to happen, after the whole thing with the familiars and Chase, Kate knows what the Sons have the potential to do and she's way too afraid to risk their wrath."

Cassie nodded, "I'm sorry I got out of hand today, I've honestly never done anything like that before and that's what scares me. I have never possessed that kind of power before so I don't know how to control it."

Cassie sat done on her bed and began to unwrap the first candy bar she found. "Wait," Sarah said, sitting next to her on the bed, "what do you mean you've never had that kind of power before? You're a witch."

"Yes, but I'm not like the Sons, before I came to Ipswich I possessed powers sure, but nothing that strong, certainly nothing up to par with the Sons."

Sarah looked toward the door and got up, "We should talk to Caleb about this, maybe he and the other Sons can help."

Cassie grabbed Sar

ah's arm before she could head toward the door, "While I agree that we should tell them I don't want to do it quite yet. Right now I just want to gorge on chocolate with my favorite American mate and make those boys wait outside my door for as long as possible."

Sarah laughed, "You just have 'em lining up at your door eh Cassandra," she teased.

Cassie joined in, "Well how can they resist me, I mean I look at me I'm sooo…" Cassie took a deep breathe and said seductively, "bewitching." Cassie wiggled her eyebrows suggestively and Sarah began laughing. When they stopped laughing they both lay back and looked at the ceiling.

They were like that for awhile until Cassie broke the silence, "You know when I was normal I wished I was anything but an ordinary girl. But now that I've had a taste of the abnormal I would give anything to go back to just being an average girl, I would give up the witchy powers and everything."

Sarah sighed, "It's typical human behavior Cassie, that whole 'grass is always greener' concept. Besides if you had been a normal girl you would have never popped into my life in a big ball of light and now where would the fun be in that."

Cassie turned on her side and looked at her friend smiling, "I suppose we could chalk this up to one of the good things that came from meeting Azazeal." Cassie cringed at having said the name aloud; she and Sarah had never broached the subject of the fallen angel before.

For this very same reason Cassie had piqued Sarah' curiosity causing Sarah to on look up at Cassie and ask, "Was it mostly bad with him, with Azazeal?"

A/N: Kind of leaving on a cliff hanger here only because I wanted to put Perie in the next chapter and then this would have drug on. I'll update soon and please REVIEW!
