One Week Later
It had been a week since they took Cassy away but to the Russo's it seemed longer, everything seemed darker and it didn't help that they kept her room in the same place, when it was suggested that they get rid of it Max had thrown a fit, nearly creating a tornado in the house and had locked himself in there "We need to get him out of that room" Jerry said wiping down the tables of the sub-station
"We can't he's put up a spell so that no one can get in" Justin said still feeling as though it was his fault Cassy was gone, it had turned out the monster hunters hadn't left for good only made it seem that way to see if Cassy would come back, and when she did they found out easily, they had tricked Justin into setting up secret wizard camera's around the sub-station
"Someone need's to try and talk to him, he hasn't come out of there since Crumbs gave him Cassy's necklace" Theresa said, after Cassy's cremation Crumb's had given Max Cassy's red demon necklace, apparently she had wanted him to have it "Well somone need's to talk to him" Jerry said glancing at his family, Alex nodded "I will, we were both really close with her maybe I can get through to him" she said taking off her apron.
Alex slowly gave Cassy's bedroom door a knock "Max it's Alex, can I come in?" she asked, she got no reply "Max please she was my friend this is affecting me as much as you" she said, she heard a flash noise and she suddenly transported into the room, Alex turned around to see Max in the middle of Cassy's bed leaning agains't the heaboard with her necklace dangling from his hands
"Oh Max" Alex said feeling very sorry for her brother, everything in Cassy's room still looked the same "Max, you can't keep living like this" she said sitting next to him on the bed "I can't help it Alex, she was like my best friend as well as my girlfriend, everyone else got creeped out by how gross I was or how dumb I could be but not her. No she stayed by me despite all that and now she's gone"
he said quietly, he cleared his throat and Alex looked down at Cassy's necklace "She really loved that didn't she?" she asked, Max smiled a little and held it up "Yeah, she said it helped keep her demon in check" he explained "Max I know you don't wanna hear this right now but you have to move on" Alex said, when he looked as though he was about to protest she stopped him
"Don't say anything because you know I'm right, d'you think Cassy would want you doing this? Sitting around waiting? Max as much as I don't wanna say this she's not coming back this time, and sooner or later you'r gonna have to face it" she said telling him how it is,
Max looked at his older sister with teary eyes "I really miss her Alex, I keep telling myself she won't come back and when I do I get the mental image of what they did to her and it tears me apart, doesn't help that her magic is ripping" he said, Alex nodded "Max you have to try, don't forget about her, none of us will but move on Max, if it helps we won't get rid of her room, but just think about it Max"
she said before flashing out, Max looked around the room and sighed, he knew Alex was right as much as he didn't want to admit it, he slowly got off the bed and put her necklace in the middle of it before opening the door, Max stood in the doorway and looked around once more "Goodbye Cassy" he whispered before shutting it.
