Chapter 3: The Dream
Faye Chamberlain
The girl was going to be the end of him. It didn't matter that he didn't love her anymore, but that doesn't mean that he doesn't care for her. They are exes but they're also friends and neither one of them leaves a friend behind, ever.
When he found out about what happened to Faye when they were younger and he left, and that's part of the reason why he dumped her. It's true that after their break up they've been having sex every now and then, but it's just sex, mind-blowing, no-strings-attached, sex.
All in all after they broke up they became better friends, closer even. While any other person would do even the impossible to avoid the person they just broke up with, they would just brush it off and try to at least be friends, this result is because of many reasons though, the main one being the circle.

Pacing back and forth in his room Jake was going insane. Cassie hadn't called or arrived with Adam yet, he hadn't heard a word from neither Faye nor Melissa, and he was going nuts, the anxiety was eating him alive.
Buzz
Ever since Diana left Chance Harbor it seems as if the whole circle had fallen apart, Cassie and Adam for the most part. Everyone had gone their separate ways, Faye and Melissa were still hanging out together sometimes with Jake, Adam lately had been more busy than usual and Cassie had distanced herself from the rest of the circle more than usual, as if that was possible. The whole circle was falling apart without Diana, and everybody knew that, even Faye admit it that the circle broke when Diana left town.

Jake groaned and plopped down onto his bed. He didn't know, what to do? where to start looking? who were the right people to turn to? All in all he pretty much felt useless. How could he be so useless? He was supposed to be stronger than the circle members, except for Cassie and Diana, he was supposed to have more knowledge about magic than the whole circle, that's the reason the witch hunters had taken him in the first place, wasn't it?
Buzz
"Fuck..." he cursed, sitting at the edge of the bed. Why the hell am I so useless?, Jake thought holding his head in between his hands. Why the hell would I have magic and can't do anything to help them with it?, he wondered running his hands through his hair, trying to fight the urge to pull his hair in agitation. He was frustrated. He was so useless.
"If only there was a way to locate them" he thought out aloud, staring down at the floor as a billion thoughts invaded his head making him feel even worst.
Buzz
"For crying out aloud, who the hell is texting me so much?" he shouted, he sounded like an idiot to himself, why is he arguing about someone texting him and him not picking it up? it could be Faye texting, but he knew better than to get his hopes up. He stands up and walks over to the night stand, where the phone is laying along with his car keys.
Buzz
Another text?, he wondered picking up the phone. Jake's eyes widen as he stared at the name that appeared in his screen. That would be the last person in this world to even text me, Jake thought in disbelief debating on whether it was a joke or not. She probably hates me, she wouldn't be texting me after what happened with Faye, he thought taking a deep breath, trying to calm his nerves.
Buzz
Another text arrived, he closed his eyes and took another deep breath. Breathe, he tried to soothe himself but it wasn't really helping. He took another deep breath opening one eye to look down at the screen. It's true, it's really her, he thought, starting to walk backwards until he hit the bed and collapsed on it. He sighed opening the first text message from none other than...
Dawn Chamberlain
She was walking through the forest with two other people, who are strangers to her but yet at the same time are very familiar. They kept walking through the forest until they reach a clearing. The sky could be clearly seen, the stars twinkling away, the moon shining down upon them. The moon. It was beautiful, it was a full moon shining at its highest, but suddenly it all changed, the once beautiful full moon changed. It was no longer her natural beautiful white color, now it was a crimson red color it seem as if it were made out of blood. Blood.
"The blood moon" she whispered, staring at the big red shining ball. She was shivering and had no idea why. Then that's when she saw it.
A boy, he looked younger than her, he was probably fourteen maybe fifteen years old, he had cropped black hair, intense-blue eyes, light-skin, he was the same height or maybe taller than her by an inch or so. He wasn't wearing any clothes, his body was covered by a black cloak. He also had a strange-looking necklace hanging around its neck, it was in the shape of a dragon with its tail wrapped around a crystal and had another crystal in the middle of the chest, both crystals were glowing a deep-blue color so dark that it almost looked black.
"W-who are you?" she stuttered, she was nervous and didn't know the reason why. Maybe they're witch hunters, she thought taking a step back.
"Don't be afraid, Diana" a blonde girl said, she reminded her of Cassie, but she was taller than Cassie by a couple of inches. "We won't kill you" she continued, smiling like a Cheshire cat.
"After all we are family" said a very familiar feminine voice from behind her, she turned around only to come face-to-face with none other than Cassie. Her clothes were entirely black, but that wasn't caught Diana's attention it was the necklace hanging around her neck. The necklace looked exactly like the one the boy was wearing only that her's had glowing red crystals and the place where the crystal in the middle of the chest of the dragon goes was in the shape of a spiral.
"You've finally come, sister" the boy with the dragon necklace said, staring at her with an evil smirk playing on his face. Diana stood frozen on the spot as those piercing blue eyes kept staring at her, sending shivers up and down her spine.
"Fuck you" Diana spat when she finally seem to find the will to move again. She was about to turn back and run away, to run as far as her legs could carry her but she knew better than that.
"Is that any way to talk to your leader, child?" an old man said, he was standing right next to the boy with the dragon necklace. The man looked like he was in his sixties but was well-preserved for that age. He has shoulder-length gray hair and light-brown eyes, he was wearing a black cloak and around his neck hung the Balcoin medallion.
"Who the hell are you, old man?" Diana shouted at the old man, staring in utter disbelief at the medallion. That can't be the medallion, it was supposed to be destroyed, she thought, not taking her eyes away from the medallion hanging around the old man's neck.
The man eyes flared, his anger rising at way that Diana was talking to him. "Disrespectful little brat", the man spat at the girl. Diana gasped as she was picked up her feet and thrown into the closest tree, hard.
Diana glared at the man, she felt her anger rising but she couldn't lose control. She wouldn't turn into one of them. She wouldn't use her dark magic, not again. The man smirked as the girl took a deep breath trying to bring herself to calm down. Not again, she reminded herself, taking another deep breath.
"I'll teach to respect your elders" the man said raising his right-hand aiming at her, Diana gasped she couldn't believe what her eyes were seeing. The man had the Balcoin mark too. Who the hell is this man?, she wondered. She was snapped out of her thoughts by the man's wicked laughter, the same laughter the evil villains have in the movies. The kind of laughter that sends chills down your spine.
Diana screamed in agonizing pain as she felt her body burning from the inside-out. Her lungs ache from the heat inside her body, she felt weak, her breath coming in short huffs of air and her vision was becoming blurry. The burning pain was still there, taking over her body. She knew that her lungs were hurting, but that wasn't making her stop screaming, the pain was too much to bear.
She was going to die, she was sure of it, but her last wish is to know the name of the bastard who's doing this to her. That's when she heard it, it was as if God had just heard her and decided to give her a goodbye gift, "Samuel Blackwell that's enough" the boy yelled at the old man, his eyes turning completely black, like what happened to Eben when he was possessed by demons.
Samuel Blackwell
"Diana? Diana, wake up" a familiar voice called, bringing her back to reality. Her eyes flew open, she was panting heavily, her entire body was cover in sweat.
"It was just a dream?" she said sounding more like a question than a statement, trying to calm her breathing. Grant was there sitting next to her, concern written all over his face. "It was just a dream" she repeated looking over at Grant, she gave him a small smile as she lunged herself at him wrapping her arms around his naked chest.
"Are you alright, honey?" Grant asked rubbing small circles on her back trying to soothe her. Diana gave him a weak nod, her smile quickly disappearing as she buried her face in her boyfriend's chest, trying to find comfort. It was just a dream, she repeated in her mind trying to convince herself. The burning pain was still there, not so strong as it was on the dream but strong enough as to make its presence known.
"Yeah, I'm fine", she lied not lifting her head from his chest. Samuel Blackwell, the name sounds so familiar, but at the same time so unknown. Maybe I just read it somewhere, she shrugged, deciding not to think about now.
"Are you sure, love?" he insisted, lifting Diana's chin with one of his hands while the other was resting on her shoulder, holding her in place. She couldn't look into his eyes, because at those moments looking into those beautiful blue eyes of his she would spill everything. Those eyes were her weakness.
"Y-yeah, I'm fine. I-I'm gonna go to the bathroom" she said trying to get as far away from Grant as possible at those moments. She loves him and that's why she can't tell him. She can't, she won't lose Grant because of magic. Witchcraft has taken too much from her already, she won't lose the one and only good thing she has in her life, right now. "Get back to sleep" she said stepping into the bathroom and closing the door behind her.
"Dammit" she cursed on her breath leaning against the door. It's been two weeks since she left Chance Harbor and she's already getting sick of having to hide who she is from the person she loves. She begins to strip of her clothes throwing them into the hamper, on the corner of the bathroom.
She was about to step into the shower when she heard it, a voice, soft, it sounded even caring, alluring to say the truth. She got the feeling that she had heard it before but can't seem to remember when. "The mirror..." the voice whispered making Diana turn around to look in to the mirror.
"This can't be happening" she gasps, staring at her own naked body. Her chest, it was a vivid red color and had certain black spots here and there. Curiosity was what killed the cat. Her curiosity got the best of her as she brought a hand over her chest, right where her heart is suppose to go, was a pitch-black burn mark.
"Fucking bastard" she cursed stepping away from the mirror and into the shower. She had no idea how she was going to shower, when she was burnt but she was going to try. This should be interesting, she thought sarcastically opening the cold water handle. The best thing for fire is water. She hissed as the cold water hit her over heated skin.
