Secret Circle TV Show: Jake and Cassie

CHAPTER #67

The day Cassie was released from the hospital, all her friends were there. She looked at her fellow witches and felt proud. Together they had defeated a powerful evil, but even in the aftermath they remained united. It almost seemed like they felt more secure in numbers. Getting out of the hospital was a relief and having them with her, made it feel like home. There was something she needed to do, before going there.

"I need to say good-bye to Kate. Can you take me to the cemetery?" Cassie asked Diana.

"We'll all go with you," Faye said.

"You guys don't have to, really."

Melissa stepped forward, "while you were in the hospital we had a circle meeting without you. Jake and Zane were with us too. We all agree that you are not to use your magic for a few weeks. We can't loose you Cassie, you're what holds us together. You never gave up, on any of us. None of us can say the same."

Diana added, "you're also the strongest of all of us. Could be due to you being first born of the Balcoin blood."

"I thought Zane's oldest. Kate said you're 20."

"Nope, I'm 18, just like you. I told her that, so she would accept me bossing her around," Zane clarified.

"Cassie's stronger power could be due to the fact that the light magic on your mother's blood side, goes to the beginning of magic just like your dark magic on Balcoin side." Jake added, putting her hand in his.

"Either way, it's our turn to protect and help you. No magic use period. And you know that we'll feel it, if you do use it," Zane added.

Ben asked, "since we all shared so much magic, do you think you others might feel it too? Like we all linked to Cassie, so as a residual effect we might all be linked together without being bound."

Jake shrugged and they all looked at each other. No one knew what could and couldn't happen. "The one thing my Grandpa Royce said that seems to be valid, is that magic just helps unlock the potential within us all. He said that because of that it has no limits. If we can imagine it, than we can do it."

Chris simply said, "cool."

Adam added, "we can test all these theories another time. Let's go to Kate."

They got into the cars and almost like a funeral procession, drove to the cemetery. Diana led them to where they had buried Kate, beside Grandma Jane. She had gone back after that night and put up a simple cross, with Kate's name on it. Everyone approved of her work and she finally felt accepted again.

Jake and Zane flanked Cassie, they felt the most responsible for taking care of her. When she stumbled, they both linked their arms through hers, giving her support. She was so use to being independent and self sufficient, that Cassie felt awkward by their actions. Yet she was still weak, so she had to accept their help.

"I want to try and link with Kate on the other side and make sure she fully crossed over. I saw my mom and I know that in-between state exists. Mom sent me back, it wasn't my time," Cassie confessed.

Over her head Zane and Jake exchanged a worried look. Zane looked at Diana and she nodded. Everyone suddenly understood just how close they'd come to loosing Cassie. They realized she had to have died to meet her dead mother. They all got chills and without even thinking about it, linked hands.

"How do you want us to contact her? And we don't want you using magic at all," Chris said.

"Link your hands... oh I see that you already have. Okay I think we can do it by reaching out to Kate's spirit and then she might show up like a hologram image." Cassie described what she wanted.
