Author's Note:

Here we go another chapter! Review!

Cassie opened the note and inside was a letter.

My Dearest Cassie,

I love you. Do you remember where we met? It was on a beach you were lying down and you saw me, I could tell there was something special about you. Raj liked you too Cassie. Later that day you protected me from harm. You put yourself in harm for me. Do you remember what happened when we touched? The incredible feeling you got when we touched? I remember everything Cassie. Do you remember where we kissed Cassie? It was on the beach at night time. I kissed you and you kissed me back and you said you loved me, and I told I loved you. The sand is a reminder of our feelings for each other Cassie. I love you, we will be together.

Your One and Only Soul mate,

Adam

Cassie was scared after reading the letter. Adam had been in her room. Nick walked over to Cassie who handed him the letter. Nick read the letter and ripped it in two. Nick tossed the letter on the ground and turned Cassie around to face him.
When Nick grabbed Cassie's are she flinched. Nick was surprised Cassie never flinched at his touch.

"Cassie, are you okay? Did I do something?" Nick asked looking at Cassie's eyes. Cassie felt guilty she couldn't lie to Nick, not him she had to show him.

Cassie sighed and looked at Nick she stepped back and began to remove her sweater. Nick was surprised he didn't know what Cassie was doing, but as the sweater hit the bed a wave of anger swept through him.

"Cassie! Did Conant do this to you?" Nick asked furiously. As much as Cassie tried she couldn't help it anymore she burst into tears, she instantly fell to the ground with tears streaming down her face. Nick's face softened, he picked Cassie up and set her on the bed. He sat next to her and put her in his arms. Cassie cried on his shoulder, she felt safe with him next to her.

"Nick…" Cassie said in-between tears "I'm Sorry."

Nick cupped her face in his hands and kissed her gently. Cassie stopped crying as she kissed Nick. Nick pulled away and let Cassie's head lay on his chest. "I love you Cassie," Nick whispered to Cassie. Cassie clung to Nick she knew this was where she belonged, she was meant to be with Nick.

Nick's mind was oozing with fury. He had to think of a way to protect her from Adam. Nick knew that this was only the beginning; Adam would not stop until he had Cassie.

"Nick, can we go downstairs, I don't want to be in here…" Cassie asked looking up at Nick who was lost in thought.

"Yes, of course," Nick said as he carried Cassie down the stairs to the living room. He gently set Cassie on the couch and sat next to her. Nick put his arm around Cassie.

The circle had arranged a meeting to talk about Adam. Everyone showed up, except Adam. Cassie sat on Nick's lap and the circle began the meeting. Laurel went first she had mixed herbs to create a healing drink for Cassie's ankle. Cassie didn't hesitate she swallowed the drink as quickly as she could, this Chris and Doug crack up.

"Slow down there tiger, the drink isn't going anywhere!" Chris said laughing. Chris had a contagious laugh, which made everyone else share a quick laugh.

After the laughter they all shared ideas on how to control Adam. Deborah and the Henderson brothers thought it would be a good idea to beat the crazy out of them. No one other than Nick and Faye thought that it was a good idea. The Circle Spent hours talking and discussing and arguing on ideas. It was around 9:00pm when everyone decided to go home and continue tomorrow morning.

Nick drove Cassie home, but Cassie felt that there was something wrong. Cassie hadn't heard from her mother since the morning. Cassie quickly grabbed her phone and dialed her mother's number.

A huge relief swept over Cassie as she heard her mother's voice answer the call.

"Oh, Cassie dear I'm sorry, I meant to call you sooner, but I was interrupted at work. I'm really sorry sweetie, but I'll be gone a few days, I should be back by Tuesday morning." Cassie's mother said to Cassie.

"Yeah okay I was just calling to see how you were doing." Cassie said.

"Why don't you have a friend stay over with you while I'm gone… oops sweetie I have to go I love you sweetie got to go bye." Cassie's mother said as she hung up the phone. Cassie put the phone away and relaxed a little bit.

"Nick… umm can you stay over this weekend?" Cassie asked, "You don't have to but my mother isn't going to be home for a couple days, and I rather not stay by myself." Cassie's voice was shaky; she thought Nick might say no.

Nick smiled at Cassie, which made Cassie blush. "I'd be happy to Cassie, you didn't have to sound so scared" He said with a slight smile.

"I was scared you might say no…" she said with a wry smile. Nick laughed and parked the car in front of his house.

" I have to go inside and get some things," Nick said, "but you have to come with me. I don't want you to be alone, so let's go." Nick said ushering Cassie out of the 'car. Thanks to Laurel's drink Cassie could now walk on her own without having to have crutches. Cassie walked beside Nick as they entered his house.

"Where are you Aunt and Uncle?" Cassie asked looking around the house.

"They left on an anniversary trip to New York yesterday." Nick Said as they headed upstairs. Cassie felt strange being in Nick's room, it wasn't what she expected his room to look like. Cassie looked around and noticed that his room was clean, organized, and decorated with posters.

"Not what you expected?" Nick said as he got clothes out of his dresser.

"Not exactly, I just thought it'd be … I don't know different." Cassie said as sat on Nick's bed. Nick looked over at her and laughed. Something about Nick's laugh seemed to make Cassie smile.

"I'm guessing you thought it'd be scarier?" Nick said with a small smile, as he finished collecting his things together.

" The word cobwebs did cross my mind once or twice," Cassie said with a smile. Nick laughed and gave Cassie a kiss. Somehow that one simple kissed transformed into a Make out session.

A small whistle came from the door way which caused Nick and Cassie to pull apart from each other.

"You two should cool down a bit," Deborah said with a smirk. Cassie blushed and stood up, Nick seemed annoyed by Deborah's comment.

"See you tomorrow Deb," Nick said as he grabbed Cassie's hand and walked out the door.

"Where are you going?" Deb as she followed Nick.

"Stay at Cassie's while her mom is away," Nick answered as he walked out the door with Cassie.

Cassie and Nick had decided that they should both sleep in the spare room until they had a chance to remove the sand from Cassie's room. Cassie fell asleep in Nick's arms. That night Cassie had a series of different dreams each one about the future, but the one that stood out was the one about her and Adam.
