Ok so this isn't another chapter, just a minor reworking of the same one, some minor additions here and there, not to mention...I realized that I added something I shouldn't have...I'll explain it at the end of the chapter for those of you that haven't yet read this chapter. Plus, I have added chapter reviews!

Anyway! Yep, another update guys!

Since everyone asked, here's the next chapter, more confusion for everyone, and before anyone asks, yes, the first part is part is part of this story...it just gives you more background ;) As a hint, the first part of the chapter here has to do with the first part of the previous chapter... I know many of you are confused about this, but just think for a while...it's not blatantly obvious, but it does work.

Oh, and as for the first part of the last chapter...well, everyone's technically [my favourite word right there] right, but not in the way you guys are thinking...just think about this sentence: "He was contemplating gutting the pretentious idiot right there and then, but held off, if last time didn't work, why would it now?" Hint hint...James hasn't gutted anyone to the best of everyone's knowledge right? And remember, I'm all about twists!

TrickedPast: Thanks so much! I'll get around to reading them as soon as I can! Hmm, technically, yes, but we'll see about that! Enjoy the chapter!

ada69: Yep, lots and lots of drama! Yep, that I did...hmm, it feels like it's been longer, but oh well, better late than never! Have done, so I hope you enjoyed it!

Wolvmbm: Ah yes, it's indeed a mystery ;) Oh yes, it's not as bad for Haley, since they technically had met each other before, but we'll see how that goes right? Thanks so much! I hope you enjoyed the chapter!

Rik: Yep, that I am. Ah, those are mysteries that shall eventually be revealed! I'm guessing that that shall happen in the next few chapters. Enjoy the chapter!

Onej6: Yep, you've got an update :) haha, don't worry, it's good tohave lots of time on your hands, you never know when you'll run out! :D I hope you enjoyed the chapter!

Luiz4200: Nope, they still haven't got it completely yet. But think about it this way, Rose, Jake, and all the others don't want to lose Bridge again, so they want to protect her, and the best way to do that is to cover their backs as best they can, and that means, keeping the truth to themselves as much as they can, even though it might have consequences to James ;) I hope you enjoyed the chapter!

S.S. Pie: Hmm, well, don't forget that she flew there, and plus, time did pass between when we last saw Bridge, and when Cassie was 'born', so do consider that. The wedding day [which was the last day that Bridge appeared] was in May, and Cassie's conscious started in July, so keep that in mind! I hope you enjoy the chapter!

So please enjoy, and leave me with a review! Thanks!


==Around New York

A young man prowled the night, trying to reach his destination. However, it wasn't his house he was going to, not any more. He sighed as he walked to the edge of the building right across the street from her house, and looked to the window. There she was, it was the second time she had lost her, but now, he had his doubts that he would be able to get her back. She was playing around with a child, their daughter, and the pain on his chest made him squirm. He could tell from where he was standing, and from years of experience at studying her emotions, that her happiness was only for the benefit of the child, since she was clearly not happy. He had tried to apologize, but she treated him like the murderer she thought he was. Hopefully, all of this would change, soon, and for the better.

==Huntsclan

"Your parents? Do I even want to know what side they're on?" Bridge asked, sounding sceptical.

Violet grimaced. "Yeah, simply put, they hate your mother."

"They think I'm a cold-blooded murderer." Rose clarified.

Now it was Bridge's turn to grimace "Ouch, that's gotta hurt, coming from your parents."

Rose smiled. "They never really got to know me, but I'll explain to you the story another time."

Bridge nodded. "We have a lot of catching up to do."

Rose sighed, and smiled tiredly as she engulfed Bridge in a hug. "That we do."

Haley cleared her throat. "Not that I'm not an affectionate monster, but shouldn't we try to solve this before it gets even worse than it already is?"

Jake grinned. "I must have missed the part where you liked hugs. Last I checked, you didn't like hugs because they made you seem childish."

Haley stuck her tongue out. "Laugh it up now, but one day, I'll be the one laughing."

"I'm sure." Jake rolled his eyes. He then turned to the twins. "So, how're we going to do this? Are we physically going there, or are we just calling them up?"

Violet and Rose looked at each other, as though they had an internal conversation. They both chorused, "They come here."

Rose added. "No way am I letting Bridge walk around freely." Turning to Bridge, she added. "We're going to need you to continue being Cassie."

"Not wearing this contraption I'm guessing?" Haley asked, gesturing to the messed up bracelet, horrified.

Jake shook his head. "No way. I'm sure Fu should have some spares lying around, and plus, Gramps will be happy to see Bridge."

"How is he?" Bridge asked. If there was someone she hadn't heard about while she was Cassie, it was Lao Shi.

Jake smiled. "He's doing great! Yeah, he's a bit more 'retired' now, but he's still very capable."

"Of kicking your ass? Or just yelling at the top of his lungs every time you do something wrong?" Haley smirked.

Jake growled. "Very funny."

"So, where are we going first?" Bridge asked.

"First, parents." Violet resigned herself to call up her parents. Although Rose and Violet had the same voice, their parents always knew who was who.

==Washington

"Who in the world calls at this hour?" Jeff Evans cursed, and got ready to tell the telemarketer where exactly he could shove his advertisement. His wife was beside him, her scowl matching his as he tersely answered the phone. "Hello?"

"Dad?" Jeff heard Violet's voice on the phone.

"Violet?" Jeff asked. Diana rushed to the other side of the room to find the other phone. "Do you know what time it is? What's going on?"

The two parents heard Violet take a deep breath, and they wondered what was going on. "Listen, I- I really need you guys to cooperate with this. Could you guys come to New York for a couple of days? I have spare bedrooms in my house, so you don't have to worry about a hotel-"

Violet was rambling, and Diana shook her head as she interrupted her daughter. "Whoa, sweetheart, what's going on? Is everything alright? Are Holly and Cassie alright?"

"Yeah mom, they're both alright. I just, need your help for this, and it's of a sort of personal and delicate matter. Look, I'm sorry for being so secretive, but please, just trust me on this?"

"Sure honey." Both parents consented. Jeff asked. "When would be a good time to come?"

"Anytime really. Just go to my house and wait there for me. I'll call Henry and tell him you're coming over. You guys know where the house is right?"

"Yep, we do. We'll be there in a while honey." Diana hung up the phone, as they got ready to go to New York. They woke Emma up, much to the younger girl's chagrin, and as soon as she heard that they were going to New York, she got a burst of energy, running over to pack. Emma was now training with them, preparing herself for a more important role, so they saw no reason to not let her come, especially since she would see her friends.

==Huntsclan

Violet hung up the phone, and everyone let out the breath they were holding. "Great, at least they're coming."

"Now, to get Bridge back to her other self." Rose thought for a while, then an idea popped into her head. "We'll use mine for now, that way we don't have to worry about anything."

Everyone nodded, and as Haley got her staff out, Rose and Violet were setting up Bridge's bracelet. Once they were done, Cassie was back, but at least, Bridge still knew who she was.

"Ready?" Haley asked as they all huddled near her.

"Ready as we'll ever be." Jake nodded. And they left the Huntsclan in a blur.

==Lao Shi's Shop

As they got used to their bearings, they realized that they weren't alone. Fu Dog was staring at them with a raised eyebrow, and Lao Shi had a questioning look on his face, in mid motion to drink his tea. But that's not what worried them. What worried them was that, with identical shocked expressions in their faces, Jonathan and Susan were sitting there, staring at the newcomers as if they were all ghosts. Then again, they hadn't seen any of them for over three years, for some of them, even more, and in Cassie's case, never.

"So!" Fu Dog broke the silence. "I'm just going to make some calls to Big Ernie, don't mind me." Turning away, he whipped out a cellphone from heavens knows where, and started talking. 'Hey Ernie, I've now got a fail-proof bet here that'll get me out of all my debts. Put all my biscuits on the Old Man."

Lao Shi found his voice. "What brings you here?"

"We need a cloaking bracelet Gramps." Jake explained.

"For whom?" Jonathan asked, having gained his composure back.

"For me." Cassie raised her hand.

"Why do you need one?" Gramps asked. He gestured towards Cassie's wrist. "You already have one."

"It's mine. We gave her this one for the moment, but we need one that she can use for a longer period of time." Rose replied.

"And why exactly does she need to hide her identity?" Susan narrowed her eyes.

"Because of this." Cassie sighed, removing her bracelet.

If Jonathan, Susan and Lao Shi weren't already confused and surprised, they would've fainted. Instead, they were all sporting outrageous gaping mouthed expressions, which made them look quite comical.

"Never mind Ernie, put them all with the Kid!" Fu Dog exclaimed.

"I'm guessing we owe an explanation?" Haley smiled sheepishly.

"You darn well do!" Jonathan nodded.

After they all explained everything, and the three got to hug Bridge, Susan then turned towards the adults, and stood up. Her eyes narrowed as she got closer to Rose. The younger woman made no move to back away, though you could tell she tensed up a bit."Listen here, you might not be responsible for what happened to Bridge, but that doesn't mean you're pardoned for all those creatures you did kill."

"Mom, for the billionth time! They're evil!" Jake implored.

"Yeah, come on mom, give her a break! If you had been in the same position, you'd have done the same thing." Haley added, for once sticking up for Jake, and it was a rare sight to behold.

"I do not believe it is wise to start reopening old wounds right now, not while we have a bigger enemy to defeat." Lao Shi spoke his words of wisdom, then turned towards the back room and yelled. "FU DOG! Have you found a bracelet yet?"

"Yeesh! Calm down Gramps, I'm getting there!" Fu barked as he made his way back, holding a bracelet.

Bridge accepted the bracelet and modified it, and was soon Cassie once again. "So, how should we do it now?"

"We all need to confer. I say we all go to my house, since it's pretty big, and I think it's the safest." Violet offered.

"Agreed, let's go." Jake nodded, and they divided themselves into three groups, since it would be hard to transport everyone with one staff. Rose, Haley and Violet all used their staffs to get them to Violet's house, and they startled Henry once they arrived. The poor man was barely awake, and as they brought him up to speed, Cassie went towards Holly's room.

==Holly's room

Holly hadn't yet fallen asleep, just staring at the ceiling. Once she heard the door open, she jumped up, and nearly knocked Cassie down with her hug "Cassie! You're alright!"

Cassie laughed. "Yep, I am, but I need to tell you something."

Holly looked with wonder as Cassie began. "Holly, do you remember all those stories with the American Dragon's daughter?"

Holly nodded. "And how you don't believe she's alive?"

"Yeah, about that, I know where she is."

"You do? Where?" Holly asked, wide-eyed. She seemed so much younger like this, and it made Cassie smile.

As Cassie removed her bracelet, Holly backed away, staring at the stranger. "You-you're, but how?"

"Long story short, Cassie was made up, except I had no idea who I was."

Holly jumped her again. "So you're alive! So what's your real name?"

"Bridge."


Sooo, yeah, whack chapter, more drama, and Fu's still making bets with Ernie! Old habits die hard :/

Not to mention that Susan really needs to let go! Man, that woman can really hold a grudge can't she?

And Holly's being brought into the truth! :D

Oh, and as for the change, well, I realized that I wrote this chapter in a hurry, and so, I accidentally put in that Jeff and Diana asked if they could bring Emma, and Vi had agreed to it...however, the thing is, Violet wouldn't willingly bring a stranger into a family matter, especially this one, so now that part's changed. Emma's still going, but no one, except for Jeff and Diana, know about it.

Anyway, what do you guys think's happening in the first part? Leave your guesses in the review, and I'll be updating soon! :D

Next story to be updated is Of Sacrifces and Lies! Don't worry, I haven't forgotten Spies, I just need to get my files back and working in order :/
