"Blimey John," Cassie hissed once they were outside Nicky's, "let go of my arm or you'll leave bruises."
John dropped her wrist where bruises were indeed beginning to form. He let out an angry yell and punched the bricks of Nicky's wall and left a fist sized dent. John didn't even notice as he was pulled into a vision of the past.
2 Weeks Ago
Reid was standing next to a bunch of empty beer kegs, his back against the wall. His blond hair was peeking out from underneath his black beanie. He was wearing a pair of dark wash blue jeans, a white under shirt peeked out from under a long sleeved dark grey shirt. And of course he had on his trademark fingerless gloves. His eyes were trained on Caleb who was standing in front of Pogue and Tyler, both of whom looked worried. There was anger on Reid's face as his eyes turned black and a beer keg was levitated off the ground.
Caleb spoke, annoyance clear on his face and in his voice. "My power's greater than yours."
"Not until you Ascend," Reid shot back.
Caleb sighed and rolled his eyes. "Alright, go for it tough guy," he said holding his arms out and creating a clear target.
The Keg shot towards Caleb and Reid ran in front of a large stack of used beer bottles. While Reid was running, Caleb waved his left arm and the keg slammed into the wall on his left. He then pushed an almost visible 'force' that smashed into Reid and threw him straight into the tower of bottles. As his body hit the bottles, they shattered around Reid and his motion was only stopped when he hit a chain link fence behind the stack. The scene faded out and the last thing seen was Tyler helping Reid stand up and Pogue trying to keep Caleb from advancing on Reid.
Now
John was bent over, breathing hard. Cassie ran over to him and put her arm around him, helping him stand and walk over to the car. Once he was seated in the car, Cassie started questioning John about his vision.
"What did you see John?" she asked.
John took a deep breath before answering. "I saw Reid and Caleb fighting."
Cassie laughed. "That isn't hard to imagine. They seem like they could rub each other the wrong way."
John sighed. "They were fighting by levitating things and throwing them at each other."
"Are you saying they're demons?" Cassie asked.
John shook his head. "I don't know. We are in a different country so demons may act a little different."
Cassie's forehead wrinkled as she thought. "What about the old stories?" she asked.
"The old stories?"
"Yeah," Cassie replied, "the ones about their families being banished for being witches."
John stroked his chin, thinking. "It's possible that they are witches, but we don't know for sure."
Cassie suddenly smiled. "Operation Adam?" she asked hopefully.
John sighed in defeat, "I don't see any other choice. Infiltrate and inform."
Cassie squealed in excitement. "Thank you Johnny, I won't let you down." She threw her arms around her brother to pull him into a hug but was instead pulled into a vision.
*******************
Cassie was standing at the edge of a cliff. It was dark and foggy. The grass that managed to grow between the rocks was slick. Standing across from her, Cassie could see her brother. She started running toward him but skidded to a stop when a tall black figure melted out of the dark and grabbed John by the throat, lifting him into the air.
"John!" Cassie screamed.
"What's wrong Cassie?" The figure in black asked, "Aren't you happy to see me?"
A gust of wind came up out of nowhere and blew back the hood over the figure's face. Cassie gasped. Even though the man had short brown spiky hair, a slight build, blue eyes,and the hint of a Jersey accent, Cassie recognized Sebastian in him.
"But how?" she asked, confused. "I saw John kill you."
The man spoke, Sebastian's voice coming out of his mouth. "You saw him kill the form I took, not my essence. A pity really as I rather liked that form." The man smirked evilly. "But no bother, I rather quickly found a new host who was more than willing to share his body. He has debts of his own to settle."
Cassie growled. "You'll never get away with this," she told him.
The man just smirked. "I already have," he replied before throwing John off the cliff. Cassie jumped off after him. As she fell, the scene faded to black.
************************
Cassie came to with John shaking her shoulders.
"Wake up," he pleaded, his voice anxious, "please wake up."
Cassie groaned and put her hand to her forehead, trying to push back the pounding headache she felt.
"What happened?" John asked her, his hands tightening on her shoulders.
Cassie put her hands on top of his and squeezed, trying to offer some little bit of comfort. Her green eyes met his hazel. Making sure she had his attention, she spoke. "Sebastian is back."
Cassie jumped as a knock sounded at the car door.
