When I opened my eyes, my bedroom door was open, which was odd because I could have sworn that I had closed my door last night. I went to get up, but realized Adam's arm was draped over me. I tried to gently pick it up and place it on the bed, but he started waking up.
"Where are you trying to sneak off to Miss Cassie Blake?" Adam said with tiredness filling his voice.
"I just need to get a drink from the kitchen. I'll be right back Mr. Adam Covent." I kissed him gingerly on the lips and got up from the bed.
I walked out of the room feeling guilty for just lying to him so easily. But if I would have told him that I was suspicious he would have trapped me in the room until he was absolutely sure that there was no one/ nothing in the house. I don't want to feel like I'm some museum exhibit that will break if anyone lays one finger on me. I'm not as fragile as he thinks that I am.
I went downstairs and the front door is open. There was a trail of what looked like dust leading into the kitchen. I knew it was not dust, I knew it had to be the iron and salt to block my magic. That's when I knew that I could not do this on my own. I needed Adam by my side, no matter how strong I thought I was, I was not strong enough to do this on my own.
"Adam! Come down here quick please! Something's wrong!"
Before I could even hesitate, he was running down the stairs, and running over to me.
"What is that?" Adam asked but when I looked at Adam, he wasn't looking at the salt on the ground.
"What?"
He pointed to the living room wall, and when I looked at the wall, there was something odd about it. When I walked into the living room the wall looked like someone did something. But I couldn't figure it out. It looked like something was written on it at one point but then someone washed it off. There was a faint residue and it looked like it was either really dark red or purple.
"What is that Cassie?" Adam said automatically grabbing my hand and intertwining our fingers.
"I have no id- wait. I have a black light down in the basement maybe that will help us see what it was." I was turning away but Adam stopped me.
"Wait, did you forget we are witches? Who needs a blacklight? Just look at the wall and try to retrace the drawing."
The picture became clear, but I still didn't know what it was supposed to be. It was a symbol that I have never seen before it looked evil though. Before I could even say anything Adam was already down on the coffee table with a notepad tracing the symbol onto the paper.
However to keep it on the wall we had to keep focusing on the symbol, and it was using a lot of energy. He finished drawing the symbol, and we both at the same time without saying anything stopped focusing on the symbol and it completely vanished. There was not even a trace of it like there was before.
"Adam look. It's completely gone. Before there was a faint trace of the symbol on the wall. Now it's completely gone. Why?" I was so confused, I had no idea what was happening.
"I don't know maybe someone wanted us to see it before but now that we have it on paper it could be entirely erased." Adam said standing up from the table. "But why? Why is this symbol so important for us to know? And who wants us to see it?"
"I don't know Adam but I am exhausted from doing that spell."
"Okay, well I have to run home and pick up some clothes and then I guess I can run down to Calvin's store and see if anyone there knows what this symbol means. I'll be back in about an hour? Do you think you are going to be okay here alone?"
"Yeah, I'll keep my eyes open, and I'll keep the doors locked. Take your time, I think I'm going to take a nap." I turned around and kissed Adam goodbye.
As soon as he left I locked the door behind him and went to sit on the couch.
*Same day at Jake's house*
"Faye we need to talk." Jake walked into his room and went straight to sit on his bed.
"About what?" Faye stayed in the doorway and leaned against the door frame.
"About us." Jake looked at Faye with an expression on his face that he has never had before.
"There is no us. You made that pretty clear remember?" Faye crossed her arms over her chest, her expression changing from confusion to anger.
"Yeah, because you had high expectations and I didn't want to disappoint you. Not because I don't want to be with you. I do want to be with you."
"Well you didn't make it seem like that." Faye stood in the door still looking furious.
"Faye can we please try this? Star over? From the beginning and take it slow. Please." Jake stood up and walked over to Faye.
Jake grabbed her hands and she lost her angry expression but she also did not look like she was going to say yes. At least not yet.
*Same day with Diana*
(In Diana's perspective)
I had to keep driving, no matter how much it hurt. I needed to be away from everything at Chance Harbor. I started getting more nervous, and I heard my phone vibrate, so I pulled into the nearest parking lot and parked.
I took my phone out and saw that it was a text message from Cassie. So I opened it and it said "Diana, I know that you need to have some time and some space, but I need you here. I have no one, and you're my sister. Please come home soon Diana, I love you."
With that one simple text message, everything came rushing to the surface. I started bawling, everything about finding out John was my real father, and then Charles drowning himself, and finding out I have a sister. It all came out and I couldn't hold it in aymore.
