So, sorry i haven't updated in a while. I could go on with excuses about why i haven't been able to. I am starting a couple courses online and still going to school everyday, plus i was sick and blah blah blah. These excuses are all true, but i don't think you guys really care. Excuses are excuses. The point is, real life is just more important then the way i wish a book went. Anyway, i'm starting to fear that i might be stopping this story. not many people read it, review it, or even care about it much. I already have everything planned out so i know how it's gonna end but i'm just losing interest in all the filler stuff. Don't worry though, if i do decide to end it, i'll tell you guys everything i have planned, and i will draw it to an ending, not just stop it like the TV networks do to all my favorite shoes. I'll try to keep updating, but like i said, real life is more important. Anyway, hope you like what i got so far.

Cassie's P.O.V.
I peeled the book open and watched as the symbols transformed into pictures and words. thoughts, doubts, wonders and worries flowed through my head. if this really was the book of fate, where did the other one come from? I had a feeling things were only going to go downhill from here. I wasn't really sure if i should read it... but everyone was waiting for me. I face the book to begin nervously. The pictures went along with the words, though there were less of them. Along the inside of the cover, someone had written a message in a chicken-scratch handwriting. I read it aloud for everyone to hear.

before you read this book, you should know a few things. This book is bound and created with great power. The symbols are a spell, cast to show the reader their fate, however, the future is not definite. nothing is set in stone. Our fate's are created by the choices we make, and the options we are given by others. it is best to realize now that you won't like everything that happens to you now. if you want to change it, you need to be able to make the decisions that WILL change it. The future's always changing, you just need to take control of you fate. -the circle of Crowhaven road.

Something about that shocked me a little. Maybe it was the fact that this book could change to fit the reader. Maybe it was that i was right about the future not being set in stone. Maybe it was that the original Crowhaven circle wrote this message. Or maybe it was that they used the exact words diana had. the future's always changing. Either way, i pushed past that thought and went on. at the bottom of their message, there was a P.S. that i read to the group.

P.S. This book cannot be destroyed. It's pages are protected by our magic. Nothing can destroy them. You've been warned.

That was odd. Why would they have to warn anyone. The group was also confused, or so it seemed. It felt like every time i had stopped to think, it had taken hours, when in fact i had only paused for seconds. I hurriedly moved on, and then began flipping along the pages to keep it going, only stopping to breathe.

there is a prophecy that exists within the lines of The Crowhaven Road circle. This prophecy is based on one family in particular. The darkest of magic is in the bloodline of one of the families on Crowhaven road. It has been passed through generations. The prophecy has been close to fulfilled every generation so far. Yet, the power of good magic has overpowered the prophecy, until now. The prophecy states that the family will take over the circle. They will create an all dark magic circle. This circle will be the most powerful that has ever reached this earth. They first will pair up the other families in order for them to have the most powerful children produced. This was accomplished by a man from this line. He called himself Black John. His first attempt failed, but he used a spell to bring himself back to life and stay immortal. Evil spirits helped him with the spell. then he came back generations later and succeeded in the first part of this prophecy. He made the circle mate too whichever person they will make the most powerful child with. He then set it so each witch would conceive a child at the same time. He mated with multiple women, and their children were born with dark magic in their veins. He needed a back-up plan so that if he came to his death, he would have a child to follow in his footsteps. He fathered one child in particular, Cassandra. She was born from equally powerful good magic as she was dark magic. She was the child that would grow to be the only thing stopping him from finishing the prophecy. With the help of the circle that Black John created, she would end him for good. However, one of his children would follow in his footsteps. Jade would come back to New salem and begin the prophecy again. She will take over the circle of crowhaven road unless Cassandra and her circle can defeat her. The results of their final battle will be in favor of...

I trailed off. The last pages of the book were ripped out. I showed everyone why i ended. Now we had no idea what was going to happen and who was going to win. We could all die trying, but we needed to fight Jade for power. She was NOT going to rule us. Not if i can help it. But then i thought to the message in the front of the book. It said that the pages could not be destroyed. So maybe someone got to the book first. Somehow i knew, that the pages were out there, and i needed to find them. No matter what
