Diana's POV:

We all stood to attention until Faye had left the room, none of us turning our backs for even a millisecond until she had swept out of the room and out of our lives, for now anyway. Cassie sighed and we turned back to occupy the chairs once more. "Pleasant visit." Suzan noted. She was right, even without sarcasm, for Faye, that visit was good, especially if we're looking at the one we received from Adam under 2 hours ago. "It was, actually." Melanie said, and I could tell that she had been thinking along the same lines as I had. She smiled grimly around the group, "Which means that an unpleasant one shall be arriving soon." Ugh, really? I thought.

"Maybe she knew about Adam's visit and thought that one bad visit in a night would be enough?" I suggested, knowing as the words left my mouth that I was wrong.

"No, Di, she's most likely planning something worse." Cassie sighed. "What are we going to do?"

"Take things as they come?" Deborah suggested, but I shook my head.

"We can't, Deb. We all know that they're planning something big and that they're probably being controlled by higher powers, but how do we plan for something that we don't know anything about?" I sighed.

"I know, Diana. What do we do?" Cassie asked desperately.

"You're the leader, Cass." I reminded her.

"But I shouldn't be! Di, you have so much more experience, any ideas at all?" I shook my head.

"I'm sorry, Cass, I can't think of anything. How about we look at the Books of Shadows?" I asked, she nodded.

"It's the only thing we have, Di. Until we know what we're up against." She shrugged.

"What are we waiting for? We might as well stay here tonight, calm Nick down and do a bit of work with the books. Yeah?" I said, there was no point in dawdling around.

"You're right, Diana, I'm going to go back to my house and get the book," She said, standing up to walk out.

"Cass, wait. Take Nick with you, it'll do him good to get out of the house for five minutes and he'll be able to protect you. Send Sean in here whilst you're in the other room, as well please." I smiled, she sighed, but nodded.

Cassie's POV:

I sighed and moved out of the room. I loved Nick, but right now he's not a happy bunny and I don't feel like taking him out, but, as Diana said, it's best for both of us. He'll calm down in the fresh air and I'll have a little protection in case something goes wrong. I walked into the room Nick and Sean were sitting in, Nick was tense and Sean was happily oblivious to it. I laughed at how naïve Sean was being. As soon as I neared the door, Nick's head snapped up from his phone and a smile spread slowly across his face, he was probably realising that I was there to take one of them away, either way he'd be happy, I think. "Sean, Diana wants you." I said, my eyes not leaving Nick's. Sean nodded and trailed out of the room, leaving Nick and I alone. "Well, that was awkward." I smiled, referring to the tension that occupied the room before. "You should have seen it before you got in here. It was much worse." Nick laughed, opening up his arms for me. I held out my hand and he looked at it sceptically. "We're going out." I told him.

"Where? It's not safe outside, Cass and you know it." He said, protectiveness shining from him. I smiled, I loved him so much.

"Nick, we're going to my house to get my book of shadows." I told him, he nodded slowly.

"We doing some research?" He asked. I nodded. "Come on then," he took my hand, holding it firmly and allowed me to pull him outside into the cold air.

"So…" I said, "Faye stopped by earlier."

"Faye?" He asked disbelievingly. "Cass, why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't have time to, it was a flying visit." I defended myself.

"What did she say?"

"She was mostly trying to convince Diana to transfer to the 'dark side.' Have Chris and Doug got rid of Adam yet? I wonder where they're putting him." I mused. Nick rolled his eyes.

"Cass, I want to know about Faye. I want to know if you're in any danger at all. I don't want you getting hurt again, not like before. Ever, Cassie." He sighed.

"Nick, I love you, babe, but you can't protect me, not forever. I'm fine. I'm in no danger whatsoever. Does that make you any happier?" I said, frustrated. Nick understood our lifestyle. He'd lived it longer than I had, after all. He knew that I'd hardly ever be safe, he had to accept it, now. "No." He said quietly, "I know you're lying. I know that you're not safe, Cass. I know none of us are. It just hurts, okay? I love you and I don't want you getting hurt, at all. I never want you to get hurt. Ever. And baby, it's hurting me that I can't be there with you all of the time, I can't protect you."

"You think that I don't want to protect you? That I don't care? Nick, you couldn't be more wrong. I love you and I don't want you to be hurt. Nick, none of this would be worth it if it wasn't for you. Do you think I want to be unsafe? Unprotected? Do you think that I want to live up there all alone?"

"Alone? Cass, I never even thought of that! I'm such a bad boyfriend!" He facepalmed.

"Nick, what do you mean?"

"I'm talking about how much I want to protect you, about how much I love you, and I never even realised that each time you are in that house you are alone! Unprotected! I'm so sorry!" He exclaimed. I shook my head.

"Nick, it doesn't matter, I'm staying with Diana tonight. I'll figure something out."

"Done. We're all staying with Diana tonight, yeah?" I nodded. "Well, next chance we get, I'm moving in with you. If you don't mind?" He added timidly.

"Nick! Of course I don't mind! But it's such a big inconvenience for you!"

"Babe, I'll be with you. I'm sure I'll live!" He laughed.

"So we're moving in together?" I asked.

"We're moving in together!" He declared and I laughed, we walked over to my – our – house and we grabbed the book before returning to Diana's house to tell everyone.
