Chapter 1
The one sip of the elixir Cass took coursed through her body, dormant, waiting for its time to come.
Cass was sitting in the back of the class of first period history. Now in eleventh grade, she was seemingly unchanged. She still carried around her old backpack from when she was eleven. She was still friends with Max-Ernest and Yo-Yoji. She was still a survivalist. Most important, she was still a member of the Terces Society. She still protected the Secret.
Now that Pietro was gone, banished to the Other Side, the trio were the official leaders of the Terces Society. Even so, Mr. Wallace was the one who made the decisions. It had been years since they had heard of the Midnight Sun, but they were still out there. They still wanted the Secret. But they were weakened, divided. Which made them harder to track down. Lost in thought, Cass came to focus. She noticed she had sunspots in her eyes. Why would she have sunspots? She was indoors. She started to feel faint. Her vision continued blurring and she found herself passing out. The only thing she felt was detached curiosity. Why was she always the victim when emergencies happened? She was supposed to be the expert… Why….
Max-Ernest was the first to notice that Cass had collapsed. She was slumped on her desk; arms limp on the sides of her chair. Max-Ernest tapped Yo-Yoji urgently. He turned around wildly and looked at Max-Ernest accusingly.
"What do you want bro, I was thinking up a new song for the band?"
"Look at Cass," he said pointing. Yo-Yoji looked down for the first time.
"Oh. What do you think happened?"
"We should tell someone. People don't just faint for no reason. She could have had stroke, or she could be in another coma, or maybe orthostatic hypotension. I guess that isn't usually fatal, but she should get it checked out anyway…"
"Dude, calm down." Yo-Yoji raised his hand. "Miss, um, it's Cass, she's…"
Yay chapter 1. These chapters keep getting shorter and shorter. I had more to say, but wasn't really inspired... Also first review on the day I published it. This is probably a record for me. Thank you Liliana28.
