Chapter 35

Jake's POV

Cassie now laid underneath me we were both fully clothed we were both grabbing at any body part we could reach, Cassie then wrapped both of her arms possessively around my neck nipping my bottom lip as I let on of my free hands slide up and down one of her thighs. I just couldn't get the image of Adam and her out of my mind it was enough to make my blood boil, suddenly the arms that were around my neck, were pulled away only to be held at either side of her head by my hands. Cassie tried to capture my mouth with hers by craning her head up I pulled back, she attempted again, but failed.

I let go of her then got off the bed making my way towards the small lump of dark leather on the floor.

" Wh-what are you doing." She asked confused as well as catching her breath in small gulps.

" I'm leaving." I replied quietly.

" I thought you said you were going to stay with me?" She said with an odd edge to her voice.

" Actually I didn't say anything, since you didn't tell me why Adam was all up on you like that I think it's best I leave."

I turned to look at her in the dark the moonlight showing half of her face, while the other half was covered in shadows. I tried reading her face, waited for her to say something, just as I expecting there was nothing.

" Cassie I understand you got a lot going on right now, I'm there with you but, if you don't tell me what's going on how am I suppose to be there for you? As somebody who does care about your feelings and will say something whether you like or not for starters I will not have sex with you tonight just as scape goat, and second I don't like being lied to." I turned around now heading for the bed room door handle.

'Say something Cass, anything just open up.' I said in my mind, just when I thought she would say something she didn't...there was nothing.

" Goodnight Blake, whenever your ready to talk you know where to find me." I opened the door the closed it shut, walking out the house to mine.

I woke up the next day heading downstairs towards the living room switching on the t.v. at this time there was nothing on but, boring ass commercials, thousands of talk shows, and of course the news. Since I wasn't much of an talk show person I just kept it on the news. I walked to the kitchen walking opening up the fridge to see what I could whip up, as my stomach growled loudly.

''Breaking News, just this morning at nine o'clock a.m. the Carnival that was in town for this week has been closed due to the owner of the Carnival finding seven bodies as to be slain and found in different areas of the theme park all victims have not been identified.'' I closed the refrigerator then headed back to the living room to see the news anchor talking about.

I saw police walking around the site, long bags that were zipped which the bodies occupied, being put in the back of ambulance trucks.

" The police have yet to comment on any clues or possible suspects the owner himself is actually in questioning though I can not give out further information, all I can say is the police do want the residents of Chance Harbor to take caution because, the unknown suspect or suspects can still be roaming in the area, even recommending that businesses be closed an at least an one to two hours earlier. Stay with friends at all times. If you notice any odd behavior from anyone please do not hesitate to dial 9-1-1."

All I could think about this was not good, this was not good at all.

I decided to settle on cereal and took a shower straight after, once I was done I wiped the mirror then running the sink tab putting the shaving cream around the small scruff that was starting to appear. Even though I didn't want to think about it, my mind went back to all these events, The Circle needing to find the crystals, me seeing my Grandfather for the first time in twelve years before the fire killed my parents, Jane Blake killed, Blackwell's appearance, Witch Hunters, Cassie, Diana telling me she was the other Blackwell, Cassie and I arguing... me slowly losing Cassie one day at a time. Losing her to what exactly?

Picking up my towel and rubbing off the small residue of cream left over my face. My phone began ringing throwing the towel in the dirty hamper I strode out of my bathroom to the bed picking up my phone I saw it was Faye.

" This better be good, " I said walking over to my drawer now pulling out some socks.

" Relax I'm not trying to barge in on the mood that you and Miss Dark Sunshine probably got going on well...if you can call it that?" she said on the other end.

" What is it Faye I'm actually in a bit of a hurry today?" I replied getting annoyed.

" Well good news is I found My Family Crystal see my mom has been keeping it hidden in one place I didn't think she would think I would bother to check, you know back when my mom all the sudden starting taking medication, well it turns out she's been lying about that the whole time she never needed it, she's healthy as hell anyways she left her purse open on the kitchen counter so I decided play klutzy and out rolled that good old orange bottle can you believe that the bottle seemed heavier than it looked so that's when I found it." She sounded excited.

" That's great Faye." I tried sounding happy for her it wasn't working.

" Well you should be happy that's one less crystal to worry about, the only one left we need to find is Adam's then we're set." Just hearing Conant's name mentioned almost made me see red.

" Look I got to go I'll talk to you another time." I said trying to keep calm.

" Fine whatever, oh by the way Blackwell wants us to meet at the Abandoned house at three." With that she hung up the phone. I placed my phone on the bed now pulling on my boots and shirt, getting up I looked peeked through my blinds to see the window across from mine was closed, letting the blinds shut I grabbed my jacket then headed downstairs out the door to the truck. I had time to spare before I had to meet up with the circle,not knowing why I needed to I had to go to the Carnival sight it was just a hunch.

Once I got there it seemed that all the feds and reporters cleared out leaving the place desolate. I ducked underneath the yellow caution tape taking in the scenery around me. Drawings of Goblins & Clowns, creaks coming feet away from the Merry go round. I placed my hands in my coat pockets, and walked towards the other yellow tape that blocked off a ride. I wondered who these people were, ' Women, children hope not?' A slight shiver ran down my back as I shook the thought out of my mind. I remember the reporter earlier had said that the bodies were found in different area's. I knew I wouldn't have time to check every spot. I turned on my heel to head back to the truck, ' Maybe I'd have time later?' just as I walked something crunched under my foot, stepping back I bent down.

'How in the world would the police forget this? Unless it fell from somewhere from one of the victims ?' I scooped up the...chain? I held it up studying it under the dirt and grime, it seemed that a piece was missing.

" Jake?" I turned around to see my name being called, I looked over to see a tall guy with shaggy dark brown hair look at me as if I was a ghost. I stood up quickly on my guard ready to attack if I needed.

He held up his hands as if in surrender, shaking his head. Zack that was his name, he use to be an acquaintance of mine when I use to work with Isaac.

" Are you alone?" I asked, now looking around hoping no other witch hunters were around the area.

" Yes," he said looking shooked as if then cleared his throat, " Are you?" he looked behind me, letting his eyes roam the area as well.

" Hey I'm the one asking the questions, how did you get here and where the hell is Isaac?"

Zack blinked a few times as if then shook his head grabbing rubbing his eyes, whispering to himself.

" You got to speak up." studying him, looking at his state, noticing he had a cut along his nose, matched with a busted lip.

" He's Dead!" He said looking at me with a crazed look in his eye, " Isaac is dead! They killed him, they killed all of them." He took a few gulps then out of no where charged at me, I was pushed hard on the ground as Zack and I tumbled on the ground trying to get the lead on each other. He was on top of me now, both hands wrapped tightly around my neck, trying to squeeze out air. I balled my fist socking him hard against the jaw twice before his grip loosened and he fell back.

I grabbed him roughly by the collar, shaking him to stare at me and whimpered. " I thought I was being chased, I hid in one of the closed off area's, I saw a woman, she wasn't one of us. They thought she was one of us, she was trying to get away, I wanted to help her but then I saw her...fall to her knees gasping for breath. I think she saw me then she fell down dead, I hid until the next morning, but I hid until the police were gone & the reporters ." He stared off in the distance as if he was to be talking more to himself again then to me.

" Zack what did they look like," He turned to look at me then pushed me away roughly standing up. " I was too busy running for my life, to get a clear look." He heard a creak, then looked around him as if he was scared mouse. " I gotta get the hell out of here." He said turning around, only to stop in his tracks when I asked him who they were.

" It was a Blake and Conant, that's what I heard Isaac scream before he died." With that he turned around and ran.

My world started to spin around, I think I was going to be sick to my stomach. It wasn't that I didn't want the Witch Hunters killed, it was either kill or be killed, or there could have been another way? It was the woman, the woman who wasn't a witch hunter, she got killed in cold blood. I walked slowly towards the truck once I got near it, I gripped the hood for support trying to realize what happened.

Killing an innocent person went against what most witch covens stood for, well at least those who didn't obtain dark magic. That was impossible they would have known, because they would have sensed she wasn't a threat wouldn't they ?

I had a sickening feeling that maybe Cassie already knew and just didn't care.

AN: That was Chapter 35, it's about to complicating with Jake's feelings whether or not he has to protect Cassie or go against her? Do you guys think Cassie was just consumed in the moment that she had a lack of judgement and killed 'the woman' on accident? or She knew and possibly was sticking to her word that she would finish off anyone who got in her way? You guys decide and I'll use your inputs in future chaps. Next chapter The Circle will meet at Blackwell's house prepare for confrontations. Quick Shoutouts to luisa mendoza,queen labamba, and baby-g! Thank you guys for your last reviews. I'll make sure to keep the chapters coming until the story is finished. Thankyou all for reading!
