The next morning I headed over to see Adam at the boat house. The bruises on my wrist where my dad had grabbed me had gotten worse overnight so I was wearing a long sleeved top to cover them. Hopefully no one will notice. I drove over to the boat house quickly I really wanted to make sure Adam had calmed down and not done anything stupid.
When I got there Adam was unloading a van of crates and putting them in cellar.
"Hey" I said running over to him and picking up a box and following him into the cellar.
"Morning Cass" he smiled "You ok with that?" he asked
"I'm fine it's not that heavy" I told him we carried on quietly until we had unloaded the whole van then we went through to the bar and Adam made me a coffee.
"You Ok?" he asked clearly worried about me.
"I'm fine" I lied plastering on a smile but I'm pretty sure he didn't believe me.
"Ok" he nodded turning round to clean something behind him
"Thanks for last night" I said
"Cassie you don't have to thank me I want to be there for you. Always." He told me I nodded and smiled taking a sip of coffee "Will you come and help me upstairs my dad asked me to get something out of the attic" Adam asked
"Of course sound fun" I said jumping up and heading upstairs behind Adam.
It was incredibly dusty in the attic, there was junk everywhere sorted into cardboard boxes I walked over to one labelled 'school stuff'
"Hey what's this" I asked Adam opening the box
"Dunno" he said coming to stand next to me "Probably old rubbish from when my dad was at school" he told me before walking away to start looking for the old fishing stuff his dad wanted.
The first thing in the box was the chance harbour high year book which I'd already looked through lots spending time looking at the pictures of my mother with her friends all looking happy and young. I put the year book down next to me and pulled out loads of pictures. They were pictures of our parent's circle there was some of my mum and Ethan sat closed together at the beach laughing. Faye's mum was in a few as well as Jake's parents stood holding hands smiling. I looked but there were no pictures of my father. Not one.
"Hey Adam can I keep some of these pictures the ones of my mum do you think your dad would mind I don't have many of her from her school days" I asked
"That's fine Cass, good pictures?" he asked
"Yeh they're great" I told him smiling I put some of the pictures back and tucked a few in my jacket pocket. There was letters in the box too I pulled some out they were addressed to Ethan I started reading them just to be nosy, they were from my mum.
Ethan
I know what you think but John is not betraying us believe me. Please Ethan trust him because I do he is just trying to help us! Please the circle needs you. I know you hate me now but I miss you I haven't seen you in ages and it hurts Ethan it does just because I'm with John now doesn't mean we can't be friends like we used to be
Think about it

I read the top letter a few times tracing the familiar writing; I had always loved my mum's writing. I flicked through the stacks of letters and stopped on one near the bottom of the pile and started to read it.
Ethan
I need your help. You were right, john is evil and I need to get away from him as soon as possible not just for me but for my baby. Please say you'll help me, we need to be careful though john's said he'll kill me if I leave because then the circle will be broken but I can't carry on like this I wish I'd listened to you. I know you're over me and don't love me anymore but please as a friend help me Ethan. I don't know what to do maybe we could contact the witch hunters? They're after Blackwell. Or I could just leave but I'm scared he'll find me.
Ethan he is trying to raise evil spirits he think they will protect him from the hunters which is mad he is just putting everyone in Chance Harbour in danger. He's killed innocent people Ethan and I'm scared he's determined and is using dark magic to make it happen. He's changed it's like dark magic has taken over. He's not John anymore. Please say you'll help me

"Adam" I whispered starting to shake I read the last chapter of the letter over and over making sure I hadn't made it up. My father a Murderer!
"What?" Adam asked coming up behind me fishing rod in hand I shoved the letter into his free hand
"Read it" I whispered.
I sat huddled up watching Adam as he read the letter his face getting more and more freaked out as he went along, when he finished he looked up at me. Pity in his eyes, he put everything down and reached his hands out taking mine in it. I looked up at him tears in my eyes.
"Cassie" he whispered "You are nothing like your father Ok? And I love you so much nothing will ever change that, we'll get through this I promise you this though your father will never get near you again not after this Cassie I'll keep you safe" he promised I nodded kneeling up a bit I put my arms round Adam and buried my head in his shoulder starting to sob. I can't believe this my father is a murderer, I saw his temper last night but I'd have never thought he could be that evil, To take someone live maybe even lots of peoples. Now I understood why my mum would never talk about my dad when I was little I would ask about him all the time and she would say "He's gone Cassie" she would always get a bit angry and upset when I asked. Now I understand why.
We sat there for quite a while in silence while I thought everything through before Adam asked me "do you want to talk to my dad I'm sure we could get him to explain?"
I shook my head and looked up at him "I don't wanna know" I told him "I don't wanna know who he killed or how he killed them. The fact he has killed someone is bad enough I don't want any details I just don't want to ever see that man again in my life."
"You won't have to see him again" Adam promised.
We sat there a bit longer before Adam said we should go downstairs, he made me a drink and we sat at the bar me one side him the other. I wasn't really in the mood to talk and soon excused myself and left to go back to Diana's hoping she was out.
When I got to Diana's house I found that no one was there I quickly jumped in the shower the warm water soothing me and washing away the dirt from the attic. When I got out I wrapped my hair in a towel and put one of Adam's shirts on with a pair of little shorts. The photos I had taken from Adam's attic where spread out all over Diana's bed and I sat and stared at all the happy faces of the people in the picture. My mum was smiling back at me; I looked at the photo of Jake's parents and decided to ring him it would be a good distraction.
"Hey Jake" I said
"Hey" he replied
"Listen I have something for you could you come over to Diana's?" I asked
"Yeh sure see you soon" he answered
"Bye" I said before hanging up. I pulled on a pair of sweatpants and brushed through my wet hair. Then I headed downstairs with the photo for Jake. About 10 minutes later Jake got here.
"Hey" I smiled.
"Hey" he said sitting down next to me.
"I thought you'd like this" I told him holding out the photo of his parents on the beach. He looked confused as he grabbed he photo and stared at it
"Where did you get this?" he asked
"Adam's attic his dad has loads of old photo's" I told him
"Thanks" he whispered still staring at it
"No problem" I told him.
I showed Jake some of the other photos before he left then I got a text off Diana saying that she was spending the night at Melissa's which meant I was home alone all night. Great. I sat up restless just thinking about the letter I couldn't get it out of me head.
I finally fell asleep on the sofa after hours of trying. I dreamt of fire and blood of death and pain and innocent people suffering. I dreamt of dark magic there was a figure in my dream an evil person, that person was my father. My evil father.
