Okay, this chapter is not very good but I wrote six variations of it and this was the one I liked the most. Please tell me what you think, I think is getting a bit heavy and boring.. or maybe it's just in my head, I don't know. Anyway, hope you enjoy!

Cassie's POV

Both grandma and mom would be out for a couple of hours so I started on my homework to keep me busy. I took my English book and searched for the page with the assignment. "212 Write an essay comparing the main ideologies in the book" it wasn't my favorite kind of work, but it was one I could do well.

Lubi sat next to me and purred loudly when I scratched her ears. I picked her up and went upstairs to my laptop, luckly the professor gave as a requirement for the essay to be written on a computer, otherwise it would take me forever. I sat on my new chair and with Lubi on my lap I turned the computer on. I first checked the e-mails and Facebook and saw thirty six notifications and twelve e mails, all from my friends. I couldn't wait to talk to them especially about Adam, I missed them so much, but I had to do the essay first or I would never do it.

Forty minutes had passed and I had already finished analyzing the first point when someone knocked the door. I put Lubi down and went downstairs. When I opened the door I saw Jake along with Diana, Adam, the guys from the boat house and a blond kid which I assumed was Jake's brother although I didn't know his name, Jane had told me but I forgot.

"Hi guys" I said confused, what were they doing here? I didn't think Adam would tell Diana about what had happened… But what if he did? What if it was some kind of creepy little town test? No, wait, that can't be right. My mom would have never brought me here if she had known about something like that, and Jane would have warned her; she knew everything that happened in Chance Harbor. Plus, Jake was there. "So what?" a voice inside my head asked, I didn't know why, but I trusted him.

"We need you to come with us" Diana said bluntly, the rest of the guys just stared at me, and I avoided Adams eyes, it reminded me of how close we had been. "Why?"

"I know it's odd but we can explain once we get there" Faye said impatiently, I saw past them and their car had all the doors open, like if they had got out of it and didn't even bother to close them.

"I'm sorry guys but I don't really know you, I'm not gonna go with you just like that" I crossed my arms and they all started to get jumpy.

"Let us show you something and then you will decide, ok?" Jake stepped closer the only one who seemed calm, his blue eyes made me feel at ease.

"Ok" it came out more like a whisper than like a word, and they all stumped inside except Jake who thanked me. "Please come in" I said sarcastically while I closed the door.

I turned around and Faye and Melissa came closer looking awkward. "Just, look at the lamp" Faye explained still impatient and they hold hands. I saw the lamp placed on the table and nothing happened.

"What.."

"Just look!" They both yelled and I heard a loud sound, the lamp had exploded. "What the hell?!" I faced them and they both seemed pleased. "What happened?" How did they know it was going to do that?

"We did it" a petulant smile appeared in Faye's mouth.

"What?" I said a bit shocked and incredulous.

"We can do more than that" she said enthusiastically and faced the fire place, in a few seconds a fire had started.

I looked at them and I didn't understand anything. They thought they had done that, like, with their minds?

"We are witches Cassie" Diana explained with a small smile, "And so are you"

Jesus! They must to be paranoid schizophrenic and they all think they are witches… all six of them? No, that was not possible. And again, Jane would know and would have told, after all I would be going with them to school. They weren't paranoid, so they had to be scammers, trying to see how dumb the new girl was, believing in witches… Who the hell believed in that anyway? If they had said aliens, at least that was a classic, but witches? Come on! Wait, I'm thinking too much.

Jake must have seen my expression, because he said "It's not a trick Cassie I can prove it, come" and he extended his hand. I watched the rest and they were all looking at me, they wanted me to try. I hold his hand and something strange happened, I felt a tickle, it was strange but not bad. I watched our hands and there was nothing out of the ordinary, just our hands together. I lifted my gaze and I saw him smiling.

"That tickle is our magic connected, try to do something" could he be lying too? Either they were ALL lying, or it was all real. Unfortunately, I didn't think that the most reasonable explanation would be that they had magical powers instead of the fact that they were just kids making a prank.

"Like what?" I decided it would be best to follow along for them not to get angry, although I knew the real reason was that I wanted it to be true, for Jake.

"Explode something" Faye suggested.

"Make things change colors" Nick prompt.

"Move a chair, put out the fire, whatever you want" Diana told me excited, like if that was really going to happen.

"I just have to think about that?" I asked him and I felt stupid to even consider the thought.

"Yes" his smile was bigger and I felt the tickle get stronger, but his expression never changed. I faced them all and they were waiting; so I did what they wanted, while feeling like an idiot, trying Jedi mental tricks.

I did what Diana said and focused on the chair. At first nothing happened but then I felt my mind wander, the way it sometimes did and I felt how it would be to move the chair, how it was in its totality and how it felt moving it from the table to the fire place, and to my very surprise, the real chair did just that.

They all started to clap and congratulate me, but I couldn't believe it.

"What the hell?" I whispered. Jake hold my hand tighter and said, "You are a witch Cassie"

"I really am?" reality struck me and I saw that they were right, I moved that chair, or there were cables attached to it? I left Jake's hand and got near the chair, and with their eyes on my back I saw that the chair had nothing. I lifted it and there was nothing under the seat or in the legs.

"Yes, you are a witch, now blow something up!" Faye said with a big smile and couldn't help but to smile in return.

"Not everyone wants to blo.." Adam started saying but I cut him when I made a bottle of water on the table blow up, splattering everyone. Ok, that had to be me.

"That's awesome! You got it so fast Cassie!" Melissa giggled and they all echoed, even me.

"I know it's fun, great and a revelation to you Cassie, but we didn't came here just to tell you that you are a witch" Nick interrupted and I felt how the atmosphere changed. Before it was full of happiness and excitement, now it was dark. Their smiles suddenly faded, so I asked. "What's wrong?"

"There are people who knows what we are and don't like that, they threatened us today" Diana's face was serious.

"Threatened? They corned you or something?" I remembered earlier today when they had to run off. "Why did you leave today?" I asked them all but I was only looking at Diana, she gave me a sad look in return.

"We have a practice spot in the woods, an abandoned house which is protected with a spell; we had to leave because the spell had been broken"

"When we got there we found these" Faye said as she took some old crystal jars out of her bag "These jars were enchanted to kill witches, all there is left is to throw a lighted match in it" she handed me a jar and I saw a blonde hair in it. "So why did they leave them, and didn't kill us?" It didn't make sense.

"They made it to scare us, and it worked" Nick said, his arms crossed.

"The problem is that whoever did this was a witch, and had access to us that's how they got our hair" Diana grabbed the jar I was still holding and took the hair out of it, it was of the same color, length and texture of mine. "Holy shi.." Somebody knew what I was before I did, and had had access to my hair.

"What do we do know?" We, we where We now.

"There is nothing we can do but to wait and see, all we know is that it had to be either our parents or grandparents, otherwise they couldn't had broken the spell" Melissa explained warming her hands in the fire.

"Wait, our parents and grandparents know?" There was no way my mom wouldn't have told me if she had known.

"Yes, they were witches when they were our age, but when new witches were born, they lost most of their powers, we don't know why, but it's always that way" Jake had now an old book in his hands.

"So your parents told you what you were" and mine didn't.

"No, they kept it from us. We found out by accident" Diana reassured me.

"We don't know why, according to the book that is not how it's done, the kids usually grow surrounded by magic" Nick said as he got next to Melissa in the fire.

I was about to ask why again when Faye interrupted me. "We can be like this all day, but for that I need to have food in my mouth, I'm starving! Cassie can we order and eat here?" She had taken her phone out and was waving it around. I hadn't realized how hungry I was, and no wonder given that I had only eaten the fries Adam gave me. "Sure, make yourselves at home" I wasn't fond of being with estrangers, but is not like there was a possibility of small talk, there was so much that I wanted to know, so many things that I had to learn.

Melissa sat in the couch and Nick followed her; they had to be a couple but they never kissed or hold hands, Adam took out his phone and started to listen to music. I sat on the couch whilst Faye ordered burgers and sat on the floor. Diana sat next to me and Jake did the same, he showed me the book I had seen before and they both started to explain everything at high speed while the other guys added things at random.

"Our families did these sort like diaries of what they learned and who they met and spells and stuff" Diana was speaking so fast with excitement that I could barely understand her, one look at Jake and I knew that he was just as lost as I was. I put a hand on her, estrange gesture coming from me, but I ignored myself; after all I had magic and had met other witches so…

She stopped right at that second, "Sorry" she gave me an ashamed look,"I'm kinda nervous, but I'll slow down" she took a deep breath and smiled more confident.

"We can talk about this anytime, why don't we just chat?" Said the guy with the most lovely smile that I've ever seen. STOP THAT! I told myself, this thing with Jake was getting out of hands, I didn't even know him. So for my mental sake, I would get to know him… just to get out of my crush, nothing more. I knew I was lying but I didn't care.

"What do you wanna chat about?" I told him not being entire able to hid my smile. Diana's hand closed on mine and I hold her tighter, it felt right.
