A girl, just like me stared at me. I impulsively touched her face. She had translucent eyes and long platinum hair. She touched mine as well. We looked at each other everywhere. We even had the same arm's length.

" You're me." We whispered simultaneously. The water moved again and it became clear blue water. We swam upward, still holding hands. We got to see Carter as soon as we made it to the surface.

" Carter." We both whispered fondly. He looked at both of us as we stood, both wobbling and losing balance. We stood up straight and calling that fall a close call. We put on clothes, where she got her's from, I didn't know.

" Rip open the portal Carter." We murmured to Carter. He looked overwhelmed.

" Wait, are they both Cassandra?" Jason asked Carter.

" Essentially, yes." We both mumbled, properly putting on the same shirt and overalls. Carter looked overwhelmed. He quickly opened a portal that we filed through one by one.

" Mom, Dad, we have a problem."

They looked up from their dinner. We both were delighted to see them. They looked confused. We both sat down, our bones weak and tired.

" Cassandra..." Joshua whispered.

" Yeah?" We both whispered back. He was shocked.

" You guys don't seem to be comfortable with me." We whispered.

" Um... can we start with the girl that literally talks exactly when you do?"

" That's also me." We said casually. I felt we were supposed to not be separated, being that we were thinking the exact same thoughts. I could try to speak with her, but we knew what the other was even planning to do.

" I'm Satan's daughter." She whispered, pulling me in super close.

" I'm their daughter."

" You were of course born of them. But... Satan loved Teagan. He didn't want to mess anything up but put his power in your mother's womb. I was always you that it feels scary that we've seperated." I nodded vigorously.

" And vice versa. Now that we've seperated... do you think I should go back to my dad, or...?" We both noticed everything froze once again. I felt him next to me.

" It's true, you know. I loved Teagan. But... she belongs to him. And... I did, do those things."

" Why?" We asked.

" Because I wanted a part in something I couldn't be a part in. So... your power of destruction belongs to... me. Your given power was a dangerous form of mind control like your brother. Definitely not identical. But similar. I didn't mean to... mess things up, okay?"

" You didn't. Honestly. Take her home. She's your manefestation of power from my mom. Now go." I playfully growled.

" Do you see why I really didn't want Carter to marry Sapphire?"

" Believe me, he's way past her. But I do get it."

" It's like marrying his step-sister." He mumbled.

" I'm here, you know." Carter sighed.

" Yeah."

" Why didn't you say anything?" He murmured softly.

" Because of Teagan... and she's supposed to die tonight... but... I can't let that happen. Your father doesn't want to... but I won't have her die like that."

" How?"

" Resting next to Cole. Imagine waking up next to your lover who's fell into an eternal slumber." He sighed.

" I can't watch her eyes never open again. It would pain me as much as it would your father. And as much as it would hurt Daniel. Which is why I have to stick around for it and... " he paused, but said nothing afterward.

" O-okay. So... you'll be around and about. Just... conceal yourself in their bedroom or something." He nodded.

" Stay with Joshua. He's... good. Just... keep it together." He whispered simply. I smiled at that, blushing. I couldn't even think of how to respond to that.

" You have a lot to learn about yourself, Cassandra, now that a part of you is gone. It won't be fun. It might even suck." He sighed. He quickly disappeared, resuming everyone's surprised expression.

" What just happened, Cassandra?" Joshua asked quietly.

" Satan is here." He gave me a look.

" For good reason though. Michael came. But... to him it was a lesson of self-defense, or kind of. In short... Michael won't be back. He also came and seperated me from his daughter, you know, the identical. He also came by to save my mom."

" What do you mean?"

" She's supposed to die tonight."

" And you trust him to save her?"

" I don't have to. He loves her. He... he's always wanted her, but respects who she's with enough to not advance. He loves her too much to not save her." He paused and let it go. I slid my hand through his own. He took my hand in his under the hard table and dragged his thumb up and down the center of my palm. I don't know what the hell he thought he was doing but it was making me visibly blush and horny.
