My eyes slowly opened and I blinked for a few seconds, I remembered where I was and smiled a little, I was home again, I snuggled more into the pillow and felt something or more someone pressed up against my back, I looked down to see an arm around my waist and I heard faint snoring,

I chuckled quietly and turned around, I came face to face with a sleeping Max and I stroked his cheek with my fingertips, he stirred a bit but eventually his eyes opened and he smiled "Mornin" he said pulling my closer to him "Hi, I had fun last night" I said biting my lip

"Me too, it had been so long" he said giving me an eskimo kiss, I giggled and he rolled us over so that I lying on top of him "Wanna go again?" he asked smirking, I thought for a moment "Hmm I dunno" I said teasing him, he raised his eyebrows "Maybe this'll help" he said, he pulled the sheet over us so that we were both underneath it, it felt like I was in a small tent

"What'r you up too?" I asked curiously, he merely smirked in response and I felt a strange tingling on my waist "And 3,2,1..." he said, once he reached one a large feeling ran through me, it felt amazing and I realised he had let the magic out without me knowing "Oh my god" I gasped, he chuckled at my response and I let my magic through only onto his chest,

his eyes closed and is back arched a bit off the bed "Hello anyone awake?" I heard Theresa's voice shout through my door, I stopped the magic and so did Max "Yeah we'll be out in a minute!" he shouted back "Alright don't be too long we still have a sub-station to run!"

she replied before I heard her walking away, I looked down at Max who looked a little peeved "Don't worry we can finish later, I'm not going anywhere" I said, he nodded "Good" he said pulling me down into a hug.

I was in the middle of taking someone's order when Alex came running in "Cassy we have to go right now" she said grabbing my hand, I pulled her back "Alex what's going on?" I asked in confusion "Justin's back early for some reason and he has the demon hunters with him" she explained, a feeling of fear filled my entire body "Okay just get me out of here, does Max know?"

I asked as she pulled me out of the building into the main street "Yes he's in there keeping them distracted now c'mon" she said pulling me once again, suddenly two men popped up in front of us "Where d'you think you'r goin' demon?" the one asked pulling out his monster monitor,

it lit up like a christmas tree and I panicked "Alex" I said nervously, she pulled out her wand but it dissapeared "What where's my wand?" she asked, the men motioned behind us and we both turned around, there in the middle of the street was Professor Crumbs "Good morning girls" he said in a dissapointed voice, my hands started to shake and I saw the rest of the Russo's and Harper came out of the sub-station,

it was then I realised everyone around us had froze, apart from the hunters and wizards of course and also Harper "I'm very sorry for this" Crumbs said, I faced the hunters who were coming at me with rope "This is rope but it's been soaked with dragon blood"

one of them said smirking, my eyes widened, dragon blood was what us demon's feared, when it touched our skin it burned like acid and completely halted our demon power, my eyes turned red and I threw my arm out facing my palm at the men, they hit the wall dropping everything including the rope, my hand started to slowly close and they were choking to keep the air in their lungs

"Cassy stop!" Alex shouted, I tried but I couldn't, the demon in me wouldn't let it happen "Max!" she shouted, I felt someone press up agains't me from behind "Cassy it's me, I know you can hear me, let 'em go baby I won't let them hurt you" he whispered in my ear,

I strugglingly let the men go and they fell to the floor gasping "Good girl Cassy" Max said pulling me into a hug "Max" Crumbs said, we both faced him "I'm afraid we have to take Cassy" he said with sympathy, I froze up and Max held me tighter "No, I won't let you take her"

he said, Alex stood next to me "Neither will I" she said firmly "You'r family are in enough trouble as it is, helping to keep a demon hidden could have all you'r powers taken away, unless you give her to us now" he explained, I knew I couldn't let it happen, it wouldn't be fair to them "You guys..." I started pulling away from Max and facing him and Alex

"You've been amazing to me, but I can't let your powers be taken away, it wouldn't be right" I said "Cassy I don't care I would give them up, for you I'd do it" he exclaimed, a tear fell down my cheek "I know you would, but I won't let you, so I'm going to go with them weather you like it or not" I said, tears filled his eyes and Alex shook her head

"I don't wanna go, I know what'll happen if I do but I am not having you guys in trouble for me, it ain't right" I said, Alex looked down and Max sighed, I faced him "Look I love you okay? But you can't keep protecting me Max" I said, he nodded "Cassy" Crumbs said, I looked at him "It's time" he said sighing "It's going to happen isn't it? I'm gonna..."

I couldn't finish the rest of the sentence "I'm afraid so dear" he said, I sighed and held back a sob "Can I just say good bye, it's the least you could do" I said, he nodded "I'll be waiting and keeping an eye, if you dissapear it would be worse for the Russo's" he said, I nodded and while he sat on a bench the rest of the Russo's ran up to me "Cassy, I don't know what to say"

Justin said looking guilty, I smiled a little "It ain't your fault Justin you didn't know I was a demon, side's it was bound to happen anyhow" I said, he nodded and I hugged him along with everyone else, when it finally got to Max I didn't know what to do "So this is it, you'r not coming back this time" he said, I shook my head "And you won't let me stop it" he added,

I tilted my head and sighed "Max I'm tired, honestly I'm so tired of fearing for my life all the time, you've been so good to me and we've had so much fun together..." I walked closer to him and put my hands on his neck "...And I love you so much, but I have to go this time" I finished,

he released a tear and put his hands on my waist "But you'r the only girl who didn't care about my grossness, or dumbness, you liked me even though I was all of that and didn't care one bit" he said, I chuckled "I know. Max I don't wanna die, especially not this way but if I go now it'll only make it harder for you'r family and I won't let that happen"

I said, he nodded and rested his forhead on my own "I'm gonna miss you so much" he said, I smiled through tears "I love you" I said "And I love you too" he said, I gave him a quick kiss before pulling away, Max walked over to his family and I stood in front of Crumbs "I'm afraid we have to bind you'r wrists my dear" he said motioning to the dragon blood soaked rope,

I nodded and the two hunters who had finally gotten their breath back picked it up "Little bitch" the one hissed tying my wrists together with the rope, I held back a scream and whimpered instead at the burning pain in my wrists, steam rose up from them and I saw Max lung towards the men

"No Max" Justin said holding him back with the help of their father "Let me go!" he shouted struggling agains't them, I took one last look at Max before we flashed out.
