Wolvmbm: Thanks!

Cassie had jumped up, and was going to break up this sorry excuse for a party, and break some necks for scaring Holly so much, the poor girl was traumatized.
It seems that other people decided to jump on the bandwagon, such as Violet, some Huntsclan members, spearheaded by Huntress, and although Cassie was confused, expecting the heartless bitch to be giving a medal to the idiot, she was glad she didn't have to be fighting her again. The American Dragon was there as well, and he was pissed, with reason.
Huntress had sent off the rest of the Huntsclan off back to the base, telling them that she would deal with their disobedience later. Meanwhile Cassie had gotten into her fighting stance, ready to fight the man.
"Give up you asshole! You're not going to survive this." Cassie growled, moving to attack the figure.
The man quickly took out his own staff, and Cassie was facing off that man. Meanwhile, Violet and the Huntsclan were facing off against the rest of the Resistance, and although they were greatly outnumbered, all of the Huntsclan members that were there had reason to be pissed off at the scenario, so they were like killing machines. Jake on the other hand, went to go and see about the dragon that was supposedly his daughter. Just as he was nearing the body, and Jake's stomach kept on falling, he saw her disappear, along with another person, who had teleported them out of the Park.
Jake was feral, and quickly went into the mass of Resistance members and attacked everything in his path. After a couple of minutes, much of the Resistance was dead, the others were either hurt or had run away, and the Huntsclan members as well as Jake were looking for stragglers who they could interrogate, while Violet was looking around for Cassie, who had disappeared.
"Avenger!" Violet asked, trying to see if Cassie could hear her.
"Yeah?" Cassie's voice came yelling back.
"Where are you? Are you ok?" Violet asked, trying to follow the voice.
"I'm fine, I have someone with me!" Cassie responded. Everyone else heard this and quickly flocked to where Violet was standing. Out of the foliage stepped out Cassie, who was dragging, none too kindly, the mangled body of-
"Clark? You bastard!" Huntress snarled.
Cassie barely had time to move out of the way before the feral woman grabbed Clark and pinned him to the tree. Huntswoman tied him to the tree, and everyone was ready to pounce on Clark, except for Cassie, who went to go check on Holly.
"Hey, you ok?" Cassie asked, nearing her younger sister.
"I'm fine, what happened?" Holly asked.
"The Resistance ran away like cowards, but I caught one of them, the leader. Look for yourself." Cassie pointed, showing her the scene unfolding in the clearing.
"Wait, why aren't they ripping each other to shreds?" Holly wondered, referring to the fact that the Huntsclan wasn't attacking anyone except Clark.
"Your guess is as good as mine." Cassie shrugged.
"What the hell are you doing, leading the Resistance?" Huntress snarled.
"I-I'm not leading it! I'm- I was, he made me do it!" Clark bellowed, having clearly peed his pants in fear.
"Who did?" Knight snarled.
"Avezon! Peter Avezon did! I broke him out, and he was so intent on revenge, he just went mad! He's become more demonic by the day!" Clark bawled. Everyone that had heard that paled at the statement, having their worst fears come true.
"You're going to regret having let him out, and you're going to wish you were dead." Huntress replied, her voice growing dangerously low.
"Why did you let him out in the first place!" Huntsgirl screamed.
"I was mad, mad that I got punished for hurting a leprechaun, and I wanted revenge, but I didn't think he would go crazy! I had no idea!" Clark cried.
"Idea! IDEA!" Jake ferociously replied. "I'll give you an idea!" He said, as he slashed the man with his claws.
Lao Shi stepped out and grabbed Jake's clawed hand. "Perhaps it would be wiser to leave this man with the Huntsclan."
"ARGH!" Jake growled, flying off.
"Come on Holly, let's get you home." Cassie said, picking the younger girl up.
"But what about mommy?" Holly asked, fearful.
"I'm here." Violet replied, coming into the foliage to meet them. "You ok honey?"
Holly nodded. "I'm fine. Is she, is she really dead?" Holly asked with fearful eyes.
"I don't know Holly, I just don't know." Violet sighed, not wanting to reveal the terrible truth to her daughter, and teleported them out of there.
==Huntsclan.
Haley and David had locked the traitor up, and he wasn't faring well. Jake had truly mangled the man up, not that anyone pitied him, rather, they had wanted him to die. The only one who had left after they arrived, was Huntress.
Haley hadn't spoken to her sister-in-law for quite a while now, and knew that Rose needed to talk to someone. She knew that she had to be tactful about this, last idiot who went into Huntress' office unaware got knocked out so bad he had received a very bad concussion.
Haley first tried the office, and found she wasn't there. She took the secret elevator to Rose's room, and found Rose there, not Huntress, but Rose, huddled up in her bed, looking very, very pale.
"Rose!" Haley exclaimed, nearing the distraught woman.
"It's over Haley, she's dead." Rose's voice wavered.
Haley decided to screw her well being, and hugged Rose. "Rose, we don't know if that's true. It might just be -"
"Be a what? A figment of my imagination? I used to naively, foolishly think that maybe Bridge was alive, but she's not, she's gone, and it's all my fault! I wanted to make things better, control the Huntsclan from the inside, and look where that got me. Leading my own daughter to her death." Rose cried, burrowing her head into Haley.
"Rose...I, we'll make the best of it ok? We'll get to the bottom of what happened, and we'll solve this. Don't give up yet." Haley said, trying to soothe the older woman.
"I don't know." Rose moaned.
"Do you want me to call Jake?" Haley grimaced.
"No, I'm good, I don't want to bother him." Rose mumbled.
"Ok, listen, I'm just going to check up with David and I'll be back." Haley said, leaving the room. Payback. Haley smirked. She grabbed her staff, and teleported out of there.
==Lao Shi's Shop
"ARGH! Rose would it kill you- Haley?" Fu looked confused to say the least. "What're you doing here?"
"Where's Jake?" Haley asked.
"He's upstairs, crashed here, wait why-" Fu didn't finish before Haley rushed upstairs, where she indeed found Jake sprawled in one of the rooms.
"Wake up Lazy Head." Haley nudged him.
Jake woke up, and as he saw Haley he growled. "Go away Haley, I'm not in the mood."
"Yeah? Well neither is your wife. So get your ass up and go comfort her like the husband you're supposed to be." Haley remarked.
"What? Is Rose ok?" Jake jumped up.
"That's the spirit." Haley stated, grabbing onto Jake's wrist and teleporting them back to the Huntsclan.
==Rose's Room
Rose heard a male and a female voice talking outside her room, and brushed it off as Haley having returned with David, but got the shock of her life when she saw Haley come in, with Jake.
"What, you went to grab him!" Rose asked, startled.
"Remind you of another meeting?" Haley smirked, where Haley was in Rose's position, and Rose in Jake's.
"Haley..." Rose groaned.
"Perfect. I'll leave you two be." Haley replied, leaving the couple alone.
"Huh, so this is your room." Jake said, trying to rid the awkwardness.
"Yep, it is." Rose mumbled in reply.
Jake looked at Rose, and how different she looked than the headstrong, and sometimes brash woman he had come to know and love.
"Rose, those guys probably want us to think Bridge is dead." Jake sighed, nearing up to Rose, sitting down beside her in the bed, and enveloping her in a hug.
"I want to believe that so badly Jake." Rose whimpered.
==Next Day
Cassie rushed to class, and made it there some seconds before the bell rang.
"Ms. Bluemore, how nice of you to join us." Mrs. Norman smirked. "Now, next topic is: Creatures of Chaos."
"Creatures of the who now?" Some guy asked.
"Creatures of Chaos, Mr. Drew." Mrs. Norman sighed, sounding impatient. "Now, these creatures are extremely uncivilized, and don't work for beliefs, but for money. They are known for not being trustworthy. They dwell in forests, in groups, and there have been cases in which these creatures have betrayed their own kind. They specialize in creating chaos, and driving people insane and making them angry as a result of their actions, and it can be said that these creatures give a new meaning to the saying 'there are worse things than death.'"
"Sounds quite fun." Cassie mumbled.
"Yes, Ms. Bluemore, quite fun, now please turn to page 47 and get started on your homework..."
==After school.
Cassie saw a sullen James walk out of the building, and Cassie ran after him. Yes, she admitted she had a crush on James, but it seemed he was too taken by Bridge to be able to be happy, but she would change that.
"James!" Cassie called.
"Hey Cass. What's up?" James asked, stopping to allow her to catch up to him.
"I want to go on a date with you." Cassie stated.
"Cassie, I- I don't know, I just get so many repressive memories when I think of her." James sighed.
"Come on, let's try to get rid of those repressive memories." Cassie smiled, grabbing his hand.
"Fine." James mumbled.
==Central Park
"So, James, what're you thinking of?" Cassie asked after a couple of minutes of silence, just walking.
"Just, it's just that I found out that there's a high possibility that Bridge is truly dead, and it didn't make things easier for me. Argh, everything is so messed up! I keep on trying to piece things together, but I feel like I'm missing something. Yesterday, yesterday made no sense at all." James replied.
Cassie nodded in understanding. "Agreed, it was just so confusing, they were all there together, as if they were all part of some big team."
"Yeah, makes one feel left out of the loop." James sighed.
Cassie perked up. "Wait, hold on a second. What are you talking about?"
James also noted what was happening. "Nothing, what're you talking about?"
"Wait, you, you know about the whole magical stuff?" Cassie asked, perplexed.
"You do too?" James was startled.
"Cool!" Cassie nodded.
"Yeah I'm part of the Protectors."
"I'm part of the Huntsclan" They both stated at the same time, and got the shock of their lives when they realized that.
"You're part of what!" They both stared at each other.
"Wow, beats finding out your girlfriend's a dragon." James sarcastically noted.
"Why would you think that?" Cassie uncomfortably asked, not knowing whether James was aware of Bridge's other half.
"Cause Bridge was." James replied.
"I think we should have another conversation." Cassie stated.
"Good idea. Here come Art and Fitz." James called to them, and the two walked up to them.
"What's up?" Fitz asked.
"So it turns out that Cassie is also part of the magical community." James stated.
"They know?" Cassie yelped.
"She is!" Fitz and Art yelled.
"Yes to both. Now come on, we need to talk." James motioned to a bench.
Haha, am I evil, or am I evil? :)
You have all the pieces of the puzzle, all you need is to piece it, and you may have the solution ;)
Yep, that was this chapter, and now I need to sleep, since I need to be up and at it quite early :/
Oh, snippet! Haha, see the thing is, I have the whole idea thought out, but I don't necessarily have the getting there part, so erm, I don't really have a snippet :/
yeah, so I hope you enjoyed it and I'll be updating Of Sacrifices and Lies sometime on Wednesday maybe?
Kidding! haha, here's the snippet:
"Wait, so you mean, Rose is part of the Huntsclan?"
"But that would mean she's-"
"Violet, I have a bone to pick with you!"
"That's ridiculous. The Huntress wouldn't be caught dead"
"Not. Buying. It"
"I, you need to understand,"
"How about her friends? They've been out of the loop for the past 3 years!"
"I don't know."
"Welcome, to hell."
"We need the body back."
haha, can you wait till after wednesday?
