Remy POV
It's been a month now since Athenadora hit Cassie and Cassie got worse than anything. She was in the hospital room for two weeks. None of us were allowed to see her. We could hear Cassie yelling angrily at whoever was in there and apologize profusely for yelling. She so angry all the time. It's like with a flip of switch her emotions change. Aunt Rose is the only one that seems to be able to deal with her. Everyone agrees Cassie needs some sort of outlet. Art therapy is doing nothing; she goes in calm and leaves angry. Cassie doesn't even walk around the castle anymore, but I know for a fact she's never in her room. Briar and I actually plan on stalking Cassie today after she leaves Uncle Jasper's art therapy session.
"Hey retard," Briar said waltzing into my room. I looked at her and raised an eyebrow. She held up her fingers, "Three, two…one."
"This is stupid! I'm unfixable get that through your heads. What is painting going to do? I'll tell you what its going to do. It's going to nothing absolutely nothing!" we heard Cassie yell right on cue, I shook my head.
Briar and I left my room. We saw Cassie walk right past her room and into the library. We seen walked into the library to find she wasn't there. Briar opened a secret door that I had forgotten was in this room. We jumped down into the secret passageway and closed the door. We followed the hallway to where it lead. When we opened the exit passageway. We found that we were outside of the Castle. That little brat hasn't even been in the castle! She found a way to leave the castle without anyone knowing…I'm jealous. Briar and I got out and closed the passage way. We followed Cassie scent and we found it at a store. It was one of the little bookshops here in Volterra. Of course she'd leave the castle to go to a bookstore. Briar and I walked in, but Cassie wasn't in the store exactly. We heard conversation in the back and we walked towards it.
We peeked through a window and saw Cassie talking to boy about our age. She was helping him lift a long tree branch that was about five inches in diameter and about ten feet long. She helped him load it onto a truck. She helped him with the rest of the tree branches and then hopped on the back of the truck. Briar and I ran in alleys and followed the truck to the outskirts of the town. When the truck stopped we hid in the trees. Cassie helped him take out the braches again and they started to work. It took some time to realize that they were making a fence. Briar and I decided to leave and go back home. We used the secret passage way and went back into the library. However when we turned around after closing the door we saw Mom, Grandpa, Grandma, aunt Heidi and Rose looking at us.
"Where have you been?" mom asked. Briar and I looked at each other.
"Well, we wanted some air and we didn't want to go to the garden and," I started.
"I'll get the guards to seal that passageway," grandpa said. Shit Cassie is going to kill us.
"Briar," Mom said, Briar looked at mom and I knew we were done for.
"Briar fight it," I said as she and mom both looked at each other not once blinking. "Briar don't look."
"Cassie's been sneaking out using this passage way and she's on the outskirts of town helping build a fence," Briar blurted out and then put her hands over her mouth.
"Good one idiot," I stated. Briar looked guilty and I knew she saw it as betraying her best friend. Mom was silent the whole time.
"Where?" mom asked and I stepped in and grabbed Briars hand.
"You wanted her to find an outlet, well she has an outlet," I said and I walked out of the room dragging Briar with me.
"She's going to kill me," Briar said once we were in my room. I looked at her and laughed. "Shut up it's not funny."
We hung out with all of our other hybrid friends and my brother. When we told them about Cassie they all laughed and said it would be something Cassie would do. We talked and by the time it was time to eat dinner we walked down the stairs. However I was surprised to see Cassie walking down the hall to her room. She walked into her room and I heard her gasp. I turned to her room and saw mom sitting on her bed. Shit! Briar and I are both dead. Cassie however ignored mom and went towards her drawers and grabbed clothes. She was going to take a shower. The bedroom door closed. I walked away and sat down on the ground next to one of the vents to hear them.
"Cass you can't leave on not say anything…you had us all worried," mom said.
"No I didn't you guys were worried about Remy and Briar. I know I saw them, but I wasn't going to let them distract me from my work," Cassie revealed.
"No we knew you were gone, but we also knew you would be alone because you don't hang out with anyone. Cassie you know you can't…."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah I can't leave the castle alone…whatever," Cassie said in a monotone voice. I heard mom groan in frustration.
"Your grounded for two weeks. No complaining, no leaving the castle, no computer," mom said and I heard her leave the room. Cassie quickly followed. I then rushed downstairs.
"You can't do that," Cassie yelled after mom.
"I just did Cassie," mom stated.
"You don't understand I'll lose my job! I only volunteered to help with the fence today. I didn't have too. I work at the bookstore!" Cassie yelled. Everyone was surprised.
"when did you get a job?' mom asked.
"Two weeks ago. I got it the day I asked if they were hiring. I'm not losing my job, just because you don't want me leaving the Castle. I can't be watched for the rest of my life. Everyone here is smothering me! I don't know what the hell you all want! Cassie Spencer Swan the pathetic insolent weak child isn't here anymore! She's dead and she's not coming back!" Cassie yelled and she turned around and walked back to her room.
"I think I've had my Drama filled for one day," I muttered and went into the kitchen.
Cassie POV
Really, she wants to ground me. At least I'm sneaking out of the castle because I actually have something to. I'm not sneaking out to spy on people. Ugh! I hate this… you can't spell smother without mother. I threw my towel on my bed and decided to go down to the gym. I know exactly who I could get pissed off easily to fight. He's always there anyways.
I walked down to the gym and saw Afton in there. I started throwing little flicks of water at him. He didn't do anything. I started throwing them faster and harder until he started to get mad. I was starting to annoy him. Finally after throwing water at him he looked at me.
"Stop it,' he stated angrily. With that I threw a water droplet at him with a diameter of one inch. With that he came at me and I easily dodged. We started to fight and I should say I really didn't care if I was winning or not.
Afton and I circled around each other both angry. We ran towards each other and smack both our bodies connected. We fought each other. He threw punches and I blocked. He threw punches and I blocked. No one was winning or losing. Somehow it was turning out to be a fair fight. Just as I thought no one was winning I felt a connection to my abdomen and I flew, I then was caught in the air and thrown to the soft matted ground. Afton kicked me. If he wants to play like that, then fine. I got up quickly and took hold of Afton's shoulders and pushed him to the ground as he walked away thinking it was over. he quickly got back up and were fighting again. I wasn't fast enough in blocking and his fist made a connection with my face. Just then I lifted my hand and did and under hand punch to his chin. I kicked him hard and he stumbled back. we were circling each other again before going at it.
"What the….stop right now!" I heard someone yell. Afton and I looked towards the person as both our fist were still in the air. It was just Alice. I looked at Afton and took this chance. I tackled him and we were on the ground. He threw me off him and I hit the wall. When I went to the ground I started to run. He tried to kick me, but I slid on my knees. I grabbed his leg he kicked up and punched the middle of it. I heard him hiss, but I knew nothing broke. Afton swiftly turned around and his hand was grabbing my neck in no time.
"Don't pester me again child,' he stated as he chocked me.
"Alice, did we hear you yell," I heard Edward. Afton still had his hand around my neck. I flicked water at him and he looked at me angrily. He dropped me to the ground and instead of taking in air I kicked his back. Once again we were fighting.
"Alice, do I hear fighting?" of course idiot who asked.
"What the Fuck is going on?" I heard mom yell, Afton fist made connection with my shoulder, just as my fist connected with his face. "Afton! Cassie!" mom yelled and we both stopped. I looked at Afton.
"Thanks for helping me practice," I said. Afton smirked and nodded. I then walked out of the gym. I knew my Mom, Edward and Alice were walking behind me. However I don't care about what they have to say.
"That was not a practice Cassie. That was actual fighting,' I heard mom state.
"So, I've heard worse happen to me," I stated as I started up the stairs, everyone in the living room looked at me.
"Cassie don't you dare walk away from me," Mom yelled.
"Or what? Are you going to throw me to a wall? Lock me in a cage? Whip me? Starve me of food and blood?" I said, there was no response, "Didn't think so. And even if you did it's not like you or anyone in here can touch me. I'm not making that mistake again." I started walking up the stairs. I felt someone behind me. I grabbed the hand and twisted it back.
"Ahh, okay, point proven," it was mom. I immediately let go and shook my head.
"Sorry," I stated and ran up the stairs. What the hell? The point of learning to use your senses is to use it on an enemy not family retard!
Edward POV
Cassie twisted Bella's arm without even knowing it was Bella. She was using her senses, but her brain wasn't telling her who it was. It was just saying you're going to get hurt. Cassie shook her head as if she was trying to get everything back into its right place. She said sorry and ran up the stairs. The entire time yelling at herself about how stupid she is.
"Edward are you okay?" Bella asked.
"She didn't know. She's using her senses but it's like sense of smell is blocked. It's her reflex to stop anyone from touching her. It's not looking at who is going to hurt you, its hurt the person who wants to hurt you before they can touch you," I said. Bella looked at me and sighed as she sat on the couch.
"So what about what happened in the gym?" Bella asked.
"Cassie started it. She wanted to blow off steam and she decided pestering Afton would be a great way to start…she wanted to fight him. It's why she ignored Alice when she told them to stop," I stated.
"Great, that's just perfect," Bella muttered. I sat down next to her and kissed her cheek.
I knew what Bella meant though. None of the kids had ever gotten in trouble at school, but if Cassie becomes the instigator than she will be in fights and what not. School has actually started in America. Bella hasn't made up her mind if she wants the kids to be homeschooled or got the school here in Volterra. One thing's for sure though if she decides to put the kids in school, Cassie will not be going. She's not better; she's sure as hell not ready either. She may act like she's better, but there's a storm in her mind.
