Hey guys! So I actually got to update pretty fast! Well at least I think so I usually update every weekend! Were having a 3 day weekend so I decided why not? I love the reviews I've been getting thank you guys so much! They really make my day! Anyway enjoy and review!

I couldn't think. My mind couldn't form coherent thoughts and everything was just getting jumbled up.

I paced back and forth in my room probably putting a giant dent in the carpet in the process. I could feel Adam's eyes on me as I walked back and forth silently.

This wasn't how tonight was suppose to go. It was suppose to be a night to forget all of our problems. Not have more problems just

show up at my door step.

Finally I decided to give up the pacing and just sat down on my bed. Adam sat down to and rapt a firm arm around my shoulders.

"He's my brother" I whispered.

Even saying it out loud sounded absurd. It still was just now sinking in the words that had brought my mind to a complete halt.

Adam just brought me closer to his chest and rubbed my back.

"How?…why wouldn't my fath- Blackwell tell me?"

He sighed "I don't know Cassie. I don't know. We don't even know if he's telling the truth."

I shook my head. "No, I believe him why else would Blackwell help him?"

"maybe he has other reasons. Nick obviously isn't being very….nick right now."

I nodded "does that mean Jake's my brother to?"

"no. Jake already asked him after you ran up the stairs. He said it was just him."

I sighed in relief.

"that means he has dark magic to." I stated looking up at Adam.

"I guess. With the way he's acting I don't think that's a good thing"

"what about Mellissa?"

He just shrugged "She left with Gale a few minutes after you came up here. Diana, Grant, Faye and Jake all went home too and Nick…just kinda disappeared"

I took a shaky breath and suddenly stood up going to the window. I slowly moved the curtains out of the way and peered into Nick's house.

The curtains were shut and all the lights in the house were off.

"He's not home" I said turning to Adam.

He sighed leaning forward with his hands on his knees.

"what are we gonna do?" I whispered

"I don't know. But we will figure it out Cassie. All of it. We always do" he said standing up rapping his arms around me.

"Always is a strong word" I muttered laying my head on his chest.

"I know" he leaned back and kissed me softly.

Suddenly he pulled away backing up from me.

"Adam?" I asked

Within in a second he was down on his knees clutching at his chest in agony.

"Adam! What's happening!" I screamed dropping to my knees beside him.

He gasped and tried to speak "I don't kno-"

He screamed again and rapped his arms around himself.

Panic was rising in me. Watching him like this was torture and I didn't know what to do. I rubbed his back trying to figure out what was happing.

Then I heard laughing. My head jolted up at the bitter noise and there stood Nick.

"hmm you know this dark magic thing is actually pretty fun I don't know why your so scared of it."

"Nick…why are you doing this?" Adam chocked out before yelling in pain.

"Stop!" I yelled at Nick "your hurting him!"

He just rolled his eyes and smirked.

I felt Anger over take the fear and in a blink of an eye I was standing up glaring at Nick before he went flying into the wall.

Adam sucked in a giant breath and I ran to him. Rapping my arms around his small frame.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm okay." he breathed

"thank god"

"you two are just so cute." Nick said laughing getting back to his feet. "really it just warms my heart"

"get out" I said glaring at him

"I have better things to do anyway, but this was fun" with that he turned on his heal and walked out.

I turned my attention back to Adam and slowly helped him get up.

"are you sure your okay?" I asked eyeing him carefully

He gave me a small smile "I'm fine Cassie. I promise"

We sat down on the bed and I hugged him tightly.

"what was he doing to you?" I whispered

"I don't know exactly…my chest just felt like someone was stabbing at it and my whole body felt like it was on fire but its okay I'm fine now"

I nodded and kissed him.

I jumped and smiled when my phone started ringing.

"hello?"

"Cassie it's Melissa. I cant find Gale"

"what do you mean you cant find Gale I thought he went home with you?" I said standing up

"he did but I went up to take a shower and when I came back down he was just…gone"

I sighed "okay… we'll be over there in a few minutes… everything's gonna be fine"

"I hope so.." then she hung up

"we need to go. Now"

When we had all finally got there Mellissa explained exactly what had happened.

After that we looked everywhere and each one of us called his phone several times with out an answer.

"Nick probably has something to do with this." I muttered

"why would you think that?" Mellissa said no emotion in her voice

"because he attacked Adam with his dark magic tonight"

"oh.." she said looking down "We have to find Gale" she whispered

I sighed and rapped my arms around her. "we will I promise"

"maybe your dad can help" Faye suggested

"no. he probably has something to do with this to."

"then what are we gonna do?"

I turned to Jake, "I have an Idea but I need your help"

Jake nodded "ill do anything."

"Blackwell said that demons had one special place that they would take to kill people a place that use to mean something to them" (A\N be reminded this is an OCC story or basically my personal story lol)

"wait so you think Nick's got a demon inside him?"

I sighed "I think it's a possibility but no one knows him better then you. Do you know of a place that had a lot of sentimental value to him?"

He looked up thinking about it for a few minutes.

"the clearing." he muttered

"what?"

He sighed looking at us

"there's a clearing in the woods by the old house. I always found him there whenever he got mad and stormed off. It was his favorite place to go to….just get away."

"We need to hurry then. If I'm right he's gonna try to kill Gale."

The car ride to the old house was quiet. All our minds swimming with the worst possible idea's.

Adam told me that everything was gonna be okay. And I believed him. I just don't know what were gonna have to go through to make it okay.

"lead the way" I said to Jake nudging him in the arm as we got to forests edge.

As we walked through the never ending darkness Adam squeezed my hand reassuringly but all I could give him was a small smile.

"over there" hollered Jake pointing to a large opening.

As we stepped inside the clearing our eyes flew around searching the main spots.

"Cassie?" I heard a small weak voice whisper my name.

Suddenly I turned around and there was Nick holding Gale up by the back of his jacket.

"Gale!" Mellissa yelled running towards him.

"no no no" nick said in a sing song flinging Mellissa a few feet back.

Faye slowly helped her up.

"why are you doing this!" I yelled at him.

He smiled "oh I don't know I had some free time…it sounded fun and I was bored"

I glared at him "Let him go"

"I'll pass"

"I warned you" and then Nick went flying into the tree while Gale fell to his knee's on the cold forest floor.

Jake ran and helped him up bringing him to Mellissa who hugged him tightly.

Nick slowly started getting up laughing in the process.

"fine take him. He's useless. I'll just use you instead"

He slowly started sauntering towards me and I could feel his dark magic push against mine.

"I don't think so. You touch her I'll kill you." Adam growled and in a matter of seconds a long line of fire separated us from Nick.

"ahh so if your soul mates in trouble your magic becomes stronger…I'll be sure to remember that." Nick said smirking.

"I think John will want to know that as well"

"what are you talking about?"

He just shook his head his smirk still in place. "ask your father" he said then walked away.

It took me a few seconds for my body to function and when I could finally get my brain to tell my body what to do I realized the fire was still up.

"Adam" I whispered lightly touch his arm.

He looked down and the fire instantly went out.

"lets go" I muttered beginning to walk out of the forest.

"thanks for saving him" Mellissa said giving me and Adam a small smile before getting out of the truck.

"yeah thanks" he said

"your part of us now. We protect one another you don't need to thank us" I said

he smiled "well I did" and with that he followed Melissa up the steps to her house.

We had finally dropped everyone safely at there houses and now it was just me and Adam.

"where you going?" I asked Adam as he drove passed my house.

"you'll see" was all he said

He slowly pulled his truck into the boathouse and jumped out opening my door for me.

"the boat house?" I asked raising an eye brow.

He laughed and rolled his eye's

"nope. The creek."

I smiled as he took my hand leading the way.

"I definitely needed to come here" I whispered as we sat down on the cool grass. Next to the water.

"I figured. So do I"

I smiled and tucked myself into his side instantly feeling safe and content when he rapped his arm around me.

I looked down at the water then back at Adam.

His eyes were bright and clear while the moons light reflected of his cheekbones.

He looked down and chuckled.

"what?"

"just wondering how I got so lucky" he muttered

I laughed and rolled my eyes.

"your right" I whispered

"you've lost me" he said looking confused

"about us getting through all this. Your right. We'll figure it out. As long as were together."

He smiled "I know. You should learn to listen to me more"

I smiled and kissed him.

"I love you" I whispered

"I love you to" he whispered bringing my lips back to his.
