Author's Note:

This Chapter takes place right after the circle defeats Black John. Also in this chapter nobody knows that Cassie loves Nick. So here we go! I also would appreciate any criticism and ideas!

Diana had asked Cassie to dig up the box she had buried. Cassie dug up the box and headed back to the circle she thought about what could be inside the box. Could it be a hidden master told or something else that powerful?

As Cassie arrived back to the Circle she walked to Diana and handed her the box. Diana smiled and shook her head and said "Cassie, what's inside the box is yours and for you to keep."

Cassie smiled and looked inside the box. Cassie took out the crystal and with widened eyes looked back Diana who was smiling; Cassie knew that something wasn't right.

Diana began to talk but Cassie was in shock that she had completely blocked her from her mind. Cassie snapped her head to Melanie say the word soul mate. Cassie was shocked and turned to look at Nick who had an irritated look on his face. Nick caught Cassie's glance and knew what she was feeling, before anyone could say another word Cassie walked toward Nick and grabbed his hand. Everyone stood in silence as they all witnessed a blood red cord wrap around Cassie's and Nick's hands. As they all gazed at the cord it began to get stronger and a gold cord appeared and twisted itself into around the red cord. The circle went silent no one said a word and just stared.

Finally, Cassie spoke up, "I love Nick." Nick." Nick put his arm around Cassie's waist pulling her closer to him. The circle was silent for a few more second until Deborah and the Henderson brothers began to whistle.

"It's about time!" Deborah said with a small smile. Chris and Doug had stopped whistling and began to tease Nick. As Nick left to attack Chris and Doug, Cassie was greeted with hugs from Laurel, Melanie, Suzan, and Deborah. Cassie looked around to notice that Diana and Adam where nowhere to be found.

As Everyone was talking Cassie took the chance to sneak out and find Diana and Adam to see if everything was alright. Cassie spotted Diana sitting next to Adam on the beach, but before she could continue to walk towards them she was stopped by Faye.

"What do you want Faye?" Cassie Snapped.

"I didn't come to argue with you Cassie; I honestly just came to say Congrats… Nick is a great guy," Faye said looking at Cassie's shocked face. After that Faye walked back to the rest of the circle leaving Cassie. As shocked as Cassie was she began to walk towards Diana and Adam. Cassie was a few steps behind them when she heard someone crying, Cassie walked cautiously and noticed it was Adam who was crying. Cassie stood there shocked, but before she could walk away Diana turned around and walked towards her.

"He's … not taking this very well," Diana said in a whisper looking back at Adam, "I think you should probably talk to him."

"Umm … okay," Cassie stuttered, she had never seen Adam cry before. Diana gave Cassie a quick hug and before she let go she whispered something into Cassie's ear, "I'm glad you're happy Cassie." Diana pulled away with a smile and walked back to the circle.

Cassie walked to Adam and sat next to him in the sand. "Adam, I'm sorry," was all she could say to him. They sat there silent listening to the waves splash against the rocks.

Adam turned to face Cassie; the tears in his eyes were gone. "Cassie, I still love you, and I know that you love me back, but why would you pick him over me?"

Cassie was shocked at Adam's question, but before she could say anything Adam was on top of her.

"Adam! What are you doing, get off of me!" Cassie screamed. Cassie was horrified, what was happening to Adam. Adam didn't listen he continued to try and Cassie. As much as Cassie tried she couldn't push him off of her!

"Adam, please don't. I love Nick" Cassie yelled, Cassie was began to shake with fear and anger.

"Get off of her Conant," Nick yelled running to throw Adam off of Cassie. The circle soon followed to see what happening was. Adam fell back into the sand, looking at Cassie and Nick; he quickly stood up and walked away. The circle now surrounded Cassie who was now crying, Nick went after Adam before anyone could stop him.

"Cassie, Sweetie, are you okay?" Diana asked shocked about what just happened.

"Yes, but can someone help inside I hurt my ankle," Cassie said with tears running down her face. Chris Volunteered and carried Cassie back to Diana's house. Diana sent Doug and Sean to find Nick and Adam while Chris Carried Cassie.

It was awhile before Nick, Doug and Sean returned. Cassie was sound asleep on Chris's shoulder when they arrived at Diana's house. Everyone faced the 3 boys as they entered.

"What happened? Where's Adam? Is he Okay?" Diana asked with a worried tone.

"He got to his car before I could reach him" Nick answered looking at Cassie. Cassie began to wake up to the sound of the talking. She removed her head from Chris's shoulder and attempted to walk towards Nick, but before she can even make it off the couch she fell back down due to the pain of her ankle.

"You should probably stay seated Cassie," Laurel said as she mixed herbs together.

"What happened?" Cassie asked with a confused look to her face. Chris laughed at her expression, which made everyone crack a smile. Nick walked over to Cassie and sat between her and Chris. Everyone began to talk about random thing; no one mentioned what had happened early. One by one everyone began to leave and head home. Soon it was just Diana, Cassie and Nick. Cassie said goodbye to Diana and thanked her for everything. Diana was shocked that Cassie was saying goodbye. "You aren't Staying here anymore?" Diana asked with a surprised look on her face.

Cassie smiled and answered, "My mom is back to normal, and I'm going back to my house to stay with her." Diana smiled; Cassie could notice that Diana was truly happy for. Nick grabbed Cassie's things and put them in his car. He then swept Cassie up and left Diana's house.

"Nick…" Cassie choked, "What happened tonight?"

Nick focused on the road as he got to Cassie's House her Parked his car and looked at Cassie. Cassie awaited an answer from Nick. Nick took Cassie's hand and told her the story. Cassie was surprised; she wondered why she couldn't seem to remember any of this happening. Nick lifted Cassie out of the car and took her to her room. Cassie felt safe in his arms and clung tightly to him as he carried her. Nick put her down on her bed and kissed her on the head and whispered "We'll talk more in the morning, you should get some sleep." Cassie grabbed his arm and pulled him closer to her, she didn't have to say what she wanted, Nick already knew. He took off his shoes and closed the door; he then crawled into bed next to Cassie, where they both slept.
