" First I want to say I'm sorry if I over reacted yesterday. It just seemed like you were being so pushy and I had just lost one of my best friends. I really wasn't in the mood for anything like that. Second I wanted to explain to you that the reason I've been hanging with Mr.Grayson lately is he's been trying to help me learn to control my temper better though mediation. That plus after Ares took control of me I... I just felt so used. It was like I didn't know who I was anymore so I really needed to take the time to mediate and learn about that as well as how to have better self-control."
Cassie deep breath..
" Lastly I want to say I hope that we can still be friends. I do still care about you Chris but just maybe not in the way you would like me to.."

*Chris's stomach dropped out.*
So...we're done? Everything that's gone on between us was nothing? It wasn't that long ago you said I was the best thing that ever happened to you. I know I was horrible to you but...I didn't think it change how you felt. I thought if I worked hard enough we could get past it.

" Chris, I'm fourteen.. I don't know how I feel. It took alot for me to try and straighten out my emotions and I realized that I don't even really know what love IS ? We've been on and off for like forever now. That should tell you something... I never meant to hurt you... it's just, I think things are better if we're only friends."
Cassie was being honest but Chris wasn't making it easy. She expected as such.

*Chris's jaw quivered. He was such a fool.*
I don't think I can just be your friend. I don't think I can be near you, Cassie, and not be with you. I'm sorry if that's selfish of me but I just can't.
*Chris looked away. This hurt worse than what Ares did to him.*
Don't worry. I won't go all stalker on you. Maybe...maybe you should go now.

" Chris... I..."
Cassie didn't know what to say. She knew Chris wanted her to leave... still she felt guilty. Cassie didn't understand why she felt guilty.. Chris was the one who broke up with her after all. She did the only thing she could think of and wrapped her arms around him in hug. After all she still cared about him..

Please...Cassie...I can't...
*Tears slid down his face.*
I know this is my fault and what I deserve. If you aren't in love with me...then I u-understand. But I love you so much. And being near you hurts too much.

" I'm sorry Chris.."
Cassie kissed him on the cheek and then walked out. She hoped Chris would be okay. Cassie felt bad but what was she suppose to do? Continue on in relationship with Chris even if she didn't love him romantically? That would've been nuts.. She walked off back to her dorm and fell asleep.

*Chris removed the seashell necklace Achilles had given representing Cassie's heart. He gently laid on his desk and crawled back into bed. How had his life become this disaster? Only a few days ago he had been in Hawaii with his friends and the girl he loved. He had a family. Now he had nothing...family gone. Friend murdered. Cassie was gone.
He had lied to Cassie. He didn't understand. He didn't understand a damn thing.*

"So, uh, where is our 'Defense Against the Dark Arts' classroom, anyways?"
Lisa smacked Hartley on the shoulder.
"This isn't Hogwarts, Hartley! Stay focused."
Lisa let out a very annoyed sigh, and Hartley was secretly very glad that he had no interest in girls. She may have had a killer body, but he was pretty sure Lisa wasn't all there in the head. The two students wandered through the hallway of the Mystic Arts building in the near dark, since the building was supposed to be closed. Hartley's harmonica had fixed that, but there didn't seem to be any teachers around.
"Mister Hellstrom? Ms. Harkness? Doctor Strange? Doctor Nelson?"
"Great. None of them are here. We've got the damn Children of the Corn holding a pep rally out there, and all of our magic teachers are off doing birthday party appearances or something."
"They're NOT the Children of the Corn, Hartley, that is MY brother and YOUR friends so stop complaining and find someone to hocus pocus them back to normal!"
Hartley scowled and started opening random doors, hoping to find someone or something to help...

Satana was in her brother's teaching chambers, flipping through one of his many tomes that doubled as text books on various magicks and demonology.
She sneered, "What are they teaching kids in schools these days brother dear? I should have known that little godling wouldn't have the stones to release all of you so I guess I'll have to do it myself."
She turns around and perches herself on Daimon's desk and taps her chin.
"Now where oh where can I find a fresh human heart?"
Suddenly the class door swings open and there stands two students. Satana immediately perks up.
"Well! I guess you really do receive when you ask the Old Man for something!"

"FINALLY!"
Lisa stomped ahead into the room and Hartley followed behind, feeling immensely creeped out.
"You're Ms. Harkness, right? Well, there is some sort of weird magical mojo going on over at the West Entrance, and my brother is caught in it, so hurry up and fix it!"
Hartley rolled his eyes and groaned.
"What she means, ma'am, is that we think something connected to that problem in Midvale Square yesterday is cropping up again. It's all of the students that were caught up in that. There's red glowing eyes and cold blasts of air and, well, I don't think that's the sort of image the school wants to maintain."

"Well!" Satana approached Hartley with a seductive meander to her steps, and she leaned over just a might and smiled, her eyes flashing in the candlelight. With each syllable, she patted his cheek. "Aren't you just ... the ... cutest...LITTLE...THING!"
She stood upright and smiled, flipping her hair.
"That's me! Miss Harkness! Out to save the day!"
And she turned away from the kids and headed for the door.
"And now I know exactly where to begin."

Hartley shrank away from Satana's touch and pulled Lisa back as they followed her out the door.
"Lisa, that's not Ms. Harkness! Ms. Harkness is a whithered up old bag!"
Lisa raises an eyebrow.
"Yeah, well, that's basically what she is..."
"You think every female but you is a whithered up old bag!"
"They ARE!"
Hartley groaned, but the two had little choice but to follow the strange woman as she beelined across campus to the West Gate. The gaggle of students was still there, chanting in some strange language alternated with a phrase he could recognize....
"We keep the West Path Open. We will find the Missing West Way. And Trigon will Walk the Path."

Satana rubs her palms together, her smile widening as she walks up amidst the crowd of "Trigon's Peeps".
"Oh this is going to be like shooting fish in a barrel! But where to begin...?"
Satana turns around to look at Lisa and rests a hand on her hip.
"Dear....which one if your brother that you're so worried for?"

"Lisa, I don't think-"
"There! That's him! Brown hair, buzz cut, wearing a winter jacket."
Lisa pointed her brother out before Hartley could say anything.
"And those two idiots next to him are our friends Digger and Evan."
