"Why are you waiting?" Chase demanded to know as he paced back and forth in front of the mirrored wall in the abandoned house he was staying in. The reflection in the mirror did not copy him, nor was it even his own reflection. It was, in fact, the image of Sebastian's previous form. "You and I are so much stronger than the Sons. Why are we not attacking? Why are we just sitting here?"
"SILENCE!" the mirror Sebastian roared, "I tire of your chatter."
Chase frowned, but didn't speak.
We aren't attacking because although we may be stronger than the Sons, we are not stronger than them plus the twin hunters."
Chase crossed his arms over his chest. "Then we should take out the hunters and go after the Sons."
Sebastian scowled. "The girl is not to be 'taken out'; she is to be tamed and trained. The boy can die. Slowly.
Cassie woke, feeling extremely rested. She hummed as she went about her morning routine.
"Why're you so chipper?" John asked.
Cassie jumped, not having heard him come in. "Don't do that!" she yelled at him.
John chuckled. "You must be getting rusty."
"I am not," Cassie huffed, "I'm just…preoccupied."
"By what?" he questioned.
"By her boyf…" Sanzi tried to speak but Cassie spoke over him. "Nothing!"
John crossed his arms over his chest and a scowl settled on his face. "Did he just say boyfriend?"
Cassie coughed nervously. "Oh…look at the time, I should go or I'll miss my first class." With that, Cassie grabbed her bag and fled her room.
John shook his head. "She doesn't know what she's getting into."
The next few weeks passed peacefully. Cassie and Reid grew closer, becoming almost inseparable. Cassie almost forgot she was a hunter. John grew more obsessed with finding Sebastian. He spent every free moment scouring the news for possible omens.
Meanwhile, Sebastian and Chase planned, and planned, and planned.
*Crash* The sound of a vase and a mirror cracking and breaking filled the room. "MOTHERFUCKERCOCKSUCKER!" Chase yelled, throwing more things at the walls. "This is so fucking boring!"
Sebastian sneered at Chase's display of temper. "So uncouth," he thought to himself. Growing tired of the theatrics, Sebastian raised his hand and simply said "Stop!" freezing Chase in his tracks. "Your hysterics are childish," he berated Chase. "I thought I made it clear at the beginning that I am in charge."
Chase nodded sullenly.
"Good." Sebastian smiled. "We move tonight."
