1 month later. Ring! Ring! Ring! The alarm clock rang. Cassie's hand smashed on top of it. Cassie groaned and slowly sat up. She rubbed her eyes and blinked again and again until her vision cleared. She stretched. Then she quickly changed out of her fluffy pink bunny pajamas and into her regular school clothes.

Then she quickly walked into the bathroom and brushed her teeth. Later she combed her hair straight. Yawned and walked into their, (Adam and hers) kitchen.

There she saw Adam sitting on a stool eating honey nut cheerios without milk and reading the newspaper. Cassie made a disgusted face and walked her way to join Adam.

"Morning!!" Cassie said smiling.

"Morn.." Adam said without taking his eyes off the newspaper.

"Watcha reading?"

Adam ignored her. His eyebrows were raised as his eyes went side to side quickly as he read faster and faster. Finally Adam's eyes snapped back up. His eyes glittered dangerously.

"Call Thierry in Las Vegas!"

"What? We haven't even met him!" Cassie stroked his ruffled hair, dyed black to calm him. "What is it Adam?"

He shoved the newspaper on the table. "See for yourself.

Adam stood up and read over her should again, softly and attentively rubbing her trembling shoulders as she read.

She looked up at his set jaw "Call Thierry!"

"I told you first!"

"Well I told you second, NOW GO!!"

"I'm not going anywhere!"

"Man, you use to be cool!"

"Cassie, you've changed! You use to be nice now you got this attitude problem!

"Yeah? Well, I'm using this attitude problem to get you to call! GO!!!"

"Fine! You WIN!! HAPPY?!?!

"YES!" Cassie smiled at her victory. Adam quickly walked over to the phone, and then took out a card that their friends, Rowan, Kelestral Jade gave to them. You see, their three friends are Circle day breakers, and so yeah.

"Hello?" Adam said to the phone. Five seconds later, "Password?" he looked at Cassie questioningly. "East pack" she mouthed. "East pack." A few seconds later.. "I need to talk to Thierry.."later... "IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO I AM!!!!" Adam slammed the phone down. "He hung up," he told Cassie, his eyes blazed with anger.

"Boys" then she rolled her eyes. "DO I have to do everything myself?"

"Hey!"

Cassie ignored him, and told him to dial. Smiling, Adam dialed some random numbers just to piss her off. Cassie's face became red, and her knuckles became white from the clutching. Pulling back her fist she shot it forward and it connected with Adams head slamming him down a story down.

"YOU DESERVE IT!" Cassie said satisfied. Then she took the card that Adam left on the table and then dialed it carefully.

"Hello?" she said in her sweetest voice.

"Password" a low voice said at the other end.

"East pack" she said.

"Good and who might you be?"

"Who might you be?!"

"I'm Ash Redfern!"

"Uh huh.well, Mr. Redfern, can you please hand this phone to Thierry?"

"Who you first?"

"IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO I AM!! JUST GIVE THIS PHONE TO THIERRY OR I'LL RIP YOUR TONGUE OUT!"

"Hmm..so 'this kitten has claws' I like that kind of girl.."

"Shut your mouth AND GET THIERRY!!"

"Why should I--" then she head silence, confused, she tapped her fingers on the table impatiently.

"HELLO??!" she shouted. Five seconds later she finally heard a "Hi" in response.

"DUDE! Didn't I TELL YOU TO GET THIERRY ON THE PHONE?!?!?

"Uhm.."

"NO UHMS!! I WANT TO TALK TO HIM RIGHT NOW!"

"I am--"

"GET HIM!!"

"FOR HEAVENS SAKE I AM THIERRY!" Cassie's eyes widened.

"T-ttheirry? I'm so sorry.It's--"

"No problem" he cut her off. "So why did you want to talk to me? And who are you?"

"Well, I'm Ca--" just when she was about to say her name, the front door flew open and Adam came flying in.

"Cassie! I'm SORRY! I didn't mean to get you mad!" Adam said holding his arms out trying to give her a hug. When he was about a foot away from her, she held out a hand for him to freeze; he obeyed. "I-I-I really.Cassie." he said his eyes pleading her to forgive her. Cassie gave him a cold stare then put her finger to her mouth-signaling hem to shut it. Then she turned back to the phone.

"I'm I want to join Circle Daybreak.well, I mean we do. Adam and I.."

"What are you?"

"Huh?" What? They were people and they wanted to join Daybreak.

"Vampires?" Oh.

"Uhm..no..Adam, and me we're witches. Our friends at school are Daybreakers.sir." Cassie wasn't sure how to act with this man..uh vampire.

"And why do you want to join?"

Adam, who had been listening on the other side of the phone exploded. "WHY?!? WHY?!?! WHY?!?! Haven't YOU SEEN THE NEWSPAPER THIS morning?!?!"

"Good luck with him Thierry!" then Cassie gave the phone to Adam so he could scream some more. Adam desperately needed to blow off some steam.

"Oh." Adam said. HE looked at her and mouthed "Las Vegas" Huh?

Adam read the Headline to the phone. "Boy found with Broken heard. 'Literally this kid about our age was found on the street with his heard next to him broken in two, Thierry. At the same time, a girl from the same town got kidnapped and she was also his girlfriend. The kid, Tom Locke right before he died was heard yelling 'I'll get you Julian!! If I had to go through all nine worlds!" Adam took a deep breath. "And that's why I don't think it's safe to live here anymore. But there's no more other place to go except for Circle Daybreak.." Adam took another breath and waited while Thierry talked. Then Adam looked at the phone annoyance showing plainly on his face. "SOOO?!?!!? SO?!?!?! SO?!?!?! HOW CAN U SAY THAT?!?"

"What?!?!" Cassie grabbed the phone. "BUSTER! WE NEED YOUR HELP AND WE JUST ASKED YOU NICELY! IF I HAVE TO DRAG YOU DOWN HERE TO SEE ALL THE DANGER I WILL! NOW YOU EITHER HELP US OR ILL MAKE YOU HELP US!!" there was a chuckle at the other end of the line.

"DON'T THINK I'M KIDDING!!"

"I don't Cassie, It's just you can't possibly drag me, I'm Thierry, lived for mulleminums.."

"And YOU'VE GOT A REALLY BIG HEAD!"

"Say's miss big mouth!" Thierry shot back sort of hurt.

"THAT'S IT!!" Cassie slammed the phone down. "Adam! We're going to Las Vegas!"

"Why?" Adam said already going into their room, probably to pack.

"JUST DO AS I SAY!!" She screamed from the top of her lungs.

"I AMMM!!!" Adam screamed back.

"You're getting mean, Adam" Cassie pretended to sound hurt.

Adam grinned. " I learn from the best"

Cassie pointed to their room, "Pack!"

"Yes ma'am!" Adam mock-saluted. Adam threw out a big suitcase and started throwing clothes in there.

"I'll go get the car!"

Adam looked up at her, eyebrows raised, "You might want to wear something prettier than school clothes!"

"I'll wear what I want to!!" she snapped.

"Fine, I'm just saying.."

"I know what you're saying!! AND I JUST SAID I'D WEAR WHAT I WANT TO!" Adam stood up and grabbed her shoulders.

"What the heck has been wrong with you lately Cass?" he looked at her darkly. "You've changed ever since we came to this god-forsaken town of Briar Creek."

"I..I.." Cassie collapsed onto the ground and bursted into tears.

"Da..arn Cassie. I didn't want you to cry. It's just.you freaking threw me down the next floor today.." Adam's dark eyes turned bright with sorrow and tears but he quickly hid that.

"I'm sorry Adam," sniff, sniff "I'll go get changed," sniff, sniff. She slowly stood up, wiped her tears away and walked into her room. Then closed the door quietly behind her.

5 minutes later..

Cassie came out of her room wearing a blue tank top and a black miniskirt.
