Okay People, sorry for the wait but I've had a lot on and a lot of problems at home but now I'm back with a vengeance.

Thanks for all of your comments I really do appreciate them all.

I haven't named Cassie's powers yet because I thought it would be more mysterious if they came out as the story came along. But I must answer the public! Lol Her powers are:

Freezing

Blowing things up

Levitation

Premonitions

Orbing

Moving things with her mind

Telepathy (reading people's minds)

Reading people's emotions

These powers are all from her aunts; she's got them all because she was the first-born heir of the charmed ones. Although these are all her powers right now, she may get more as the story progresses but I can't name them now because Cassie doesn't even know she's got them. Hope that helps anyways on with the chapter.

Cassie brought her focus back to the room. She looked along the table to see what way the Poltergeist would be coming and when she did she caught a boy's eye, the guy who had looked at her earlier when she was walking towards the table. When he saw that she had caught him in the act of watching her he flushed a bright red and looked down at his plate. Before Cassie could analyse this strange behaviour a loud noise issued from the entrance doors. She turned to look and saw the poltergeist, Peeves fly in through them clanging a metal helmet and a wooden spoon together and singing very loudly. Cassie smirked and stood up, as everyone else was doing, he looked towards her and gave a tiny wink, which she returned as he scooped up the jugs of pumpkin juice from the tables and poured it over the heads of the children. Through all the chaos Cassie quietly slipped out of the great hall.

"What the hell?" Cassie exclaimed as she got outside. A creature that was half man half horse was rearing up in the air as a load of arrows hot out at him from the dark forest. She ran forward, towards the creature but couldn't get close enough without getting hit by one of the arrows herself.

"What's going on?" She screamed at the creature. He turned around stunned.

"Get away child!" He said to her, there was pain in his voice and she could see where it was coming from, an arrow had made its way to his chest. While he was talking to her another arrow flew through the trees and hit him in the shoulder, he staggered and fell to the floor. Cassie ran to him and felt an arrow fly past her left ear

"That is it!" She shouted, She held out her hands and froze the scene. The arrows stayed stillborn in the air, the creature on the floor stayed where he was and there was no noise coming from the forest. She made her way towards it. Unlike her mother her freezing powers didn't stop in one place, she could freeze up to anywhere she wanted, whether it was one mile or ten, she could make anyone unfreeze if she wanted, so she wasn't afraid if anyone came out, because that was impossible.

Once Cassie reached the woods she peered inside as far as she could see. There was a straight line of the same kind of creatures as that man, and they were all aiming their arrows where she had just come from.

She decided to see what was going on before she killed anyone or passed out judgement. She flicked her wrist and all the men/horse guys' heads unfroze.

"Ahhhhh What's happening?" One screamed. Moving his head, to and fro but not being able to move his body.

"Silence" Cassie said quietly, she didn't need to shout as when she said that, all their heads turned towards her.

"You will speak when spoken to and you will not interrupt and you will answer all of my questions with decent answers" She told them, she was talking with confidence, nothing scared her anymore and the pain in her arm left no room for politeness.

"How dare you! What have you done to us?" A dark coloured creature said he must be the leader Cassie thought.

"I have frozen you so that I can get a reason why you were trying to kill that other creature before I kill you" She said smoothly. Her words changed the proud attitude of the creature before her.

"Now why are you trying to kill the same creature as yourself? Isn't that like murdering your own family?" She said.

"We are Centaurs not creatures and he has betrayed our kind, he is no longer one of us." The leader said, semi-politely to her.

"What did he do to make you want to kill him?" She said in disbelief.

"He went to teach humans the ways of a Centaur which are supposed to remain secret to Centaurs" He said, Cassie suddenly understood everything.

"I understand, your proud creatures and your laws mean everything, I bet you take offences really seriously?" She said kindly.

"Of course we do, last year we tortured a woman just for calling us half-breeds," He said sounding proud.

"Well, how do you expect humans to understand what's insulting to you if you don't let them know anything about your kind? Surely if someone from your kind was to teach others that then they would know, and probably treat you with more respect" She said. The Centaur thought about that for a while so Cassie went on.

"What if you explained to this other Centaur and told him what you wanted to keep to yourselves and what you don't feel comfortable about sharing? I'm sure he would understand and maybe even be thankful to you for explaining it to him." The Centaur looked at her as if this hadn't even entered his mind.

"We will think on that. You are a wise woman." He said, making a small bow with his head.

"So you're going to leave him alone now?" She asked, she wasn't going to kill them, they had their own morals as everyone does, she shouldn't judge.

"For now, until we have discussed what you have said, yes"

"Well, that's it then, but I'll just say that, if I ever find out that you are going to try this again, then next time I won't hesitate to kill you." She unfroze them and made sure that they were deep in the forest before going back to the other Centaur.

She knelt beside him and unfroze him.

"Are you alright?" She asked him, he looked around everywhere for more arrows but the others had fallen harmlessly onto the floor.

"Where are they? What happened?" Cassie didn't know what to say, she wasn't allowed to show or tell anyone about who she really was but she couldn't leave him to die.

"Um you must have passed out, the other Centaurs have gone, they said they were going to think about what you have done before passing any kind of sentence" She reached out and touched his wounds.

"Can you manage to get back into the castle on your own, I'm running a bit late?" She said looking up and seeing him look at her. She was about to stand up when he grabbed her hand.

"Thanks. Whatever you did. Thanks" Cassie just smiled at him and made her way back to the great hall.
