From 1.01 "Pilot", on the road, Cassie and Cami drove into Chance Harbor.

Cami: (voice over) "Previously on Worlds Colliding (Secret Circle)."

From 1.01 "Pilot", outside the Blake House, Cami and Cassie got out of the car, looking at the house.

Amelia: (voice over from 1.01 Pilot) "My sweet Cassie and Camille. You finding this means I'm gone, and for that I am so sorry."

From 1.02 "Bound", in Cassie's room, Cassie and Cami were going through their family Book of Shadows.

Amelia: (voice over from 1.01 Pilot) "I didn't want you to have this life, but destiny's not easy to run from."

From 1.01 "Pilot", in the school hallway, Tricia, Eli, Elijah and Nick were standing together.

Adam walked up to them. "Have you seen them yet?"

"They got in yesterday," Nick explained.

From 1.01 "Pilot", in the witch house, the group was gathered.

"We're different," Eli told them. "You're different."

Fiona walked up to Cassie and Cami. "You're witches. You're full blooded, hundred perfect witches. We all are."

"The only one out of us here that is not a witch is Harper," Eliot told them. "He's a psychic."

From 1.01 "Pilot", in the woods, Adam and Cassie were floating water, nearly kissing. Nate and Cami exploded rocks into sparks, looking at each other, laughing.

Fiona: (voice over from 1.01 Pilot) "With them here, we have real power now."

From 1.01 "Pilot", on the porch of the Chamberlain house, Fiona looked at Max. "Instead of worrying about me, Faye and Eliot, you should really worry about what happens if Tricia has a bipolar episode with all this magic and power just waiting to be tapped into."

"Eli and Elijah are trying to find a way to help Tricia control that," Max explained.

From 1.01 "Pilot", in the woods, Tricia walked through the woods, struggling to stay calm, but her magic lashing out because of an episode caused by her disorder, and since the circle's magic was magnified so much by Cassie and Cami's arrival, the magic was uncontrollable. When Tricia's magic lashed out, trees were splintering and falling down by wind and magic, set ablaze with fire.

Eliot: (voice over from 1.01 Pilot) "With your circle's magic going haywire now that the Blake girls are back in town, now is not the time for Tricia to have an episode, since your power is magnified a hundred times over."

Eli and Elijah found her, running up to Tricia. Eli got Tricia to sit down, kneeling in front of her, as the two helped Tricia through the episode to calm her down. Elijah held out his hand for Tricia to take. Tricia hesitated but took Elijah's hand. Eli took Tricia's other hand so they could help her up.

Elijah: (voice over from 1.01 Pilot) "Let me and Eli handle it. Tricia will lash out more from fear of hurting someone else if anyone else is there."

From 1.01 "Pilot", in Faye's room, Faye and Eli sat on her bed.

"Why doesn't Tricia just take her meds?" Faye asked.

"Because meds like that can make someone suicidal, especially someone like Tricia who also has depression and no family left," Eli answered.

From 1.01 "Pilot", outside the Chamberlain House, Dawn looked at Charles. "They've got the gift."

"Are you sure you can get Cassie and Cami to do what we need?" Charles asked.

Dawn shook her head. "The circle will take care of that without even knowing it."

From 1.02 "Bound", outside the witch house, the young circle was talking.

"How did you discover--" Cami started.

"Diana, Max, Faye, Fiona, Melissa, Adam, Nick, Nate, Jake and Tricia are witches, and I'm a psychic?" Harper finished. "Diana and Max found their mom's Book of Shadows. That's how we know about all of us. And soon after that, Eli, Eliot and Elijah came to town and we learned more about each other. They have their own book, too."

Cami looked down. "And Diana and Max are the only ones with a book like that? Eli, Eliot and Elijah, too?"

From 1.03 "Loner", in Dawn's office, Adam, Harper, Max and Diana were looking through the records on Dawn's computer.

"That's the fire that killed our parents," Max told them.

Diana read from the article. "Among the victims was Heather Barnes."

"Heather Barnes was on student council with Amelia," Harper explained. "And yearbook and volleyball and a million other things."

From 1.03 "Loner", in the school hallway, Zachary had Cassie pinned to the floor, while the circle surrounded them.

"Sorry Heather died," Eli told him.

"Heather didn't die," Zachary told them. "What Amelia did to her was far worse."

From 1.03 "Loner", in Harper's vision, Everything seemed to be in red. Blood was on Harper's hands. He was breathing heavily in fear and confusion. He looked around, seeing the circle all around, tied to posts and burning alive, all screaming in pain and fear of death. Something also seemed to be trying to burst out of the trunk of the tree. Harper walked closer to see what it was. A giant snake like demon slithered out from the base of the tree, going right for Harper.

Eliot: (voice over from 1.03 Loner) "What happened? What did you see?"

Day One

Morning - Armstrong House - Nick's Room

(Song:) Stare Into the Sun - Graffiti6

Melissa was standing in front of a mirror, buttoning up a blouse. "Do you like this? I just got it, but I don't know."

Nick walked closer, pulling on a shirt. "I like it."

Nick stood behind Melissa, kissing her neck.

Melissa relished it for a moment, but stopped him. "No, no, no, no. We're going to be late for school."

Nick reached closer. "Come on. I got a better idea."

"What could be better than school?" Melissa asked sarcastically.

Nick looked down at Melissa's blouse. "Open." The first button popped open. "Guess we're on the same page. Can't do magic alone, right?"

Melissa tilted her head. "Think we can do it again?"

They both looked at Melissa's blouse to use magic.

Nick said the word open each time they magically undid a button. "Open. Open. Open." Melissa took off her blouse. "Some things should be done without magic." 

As they started to make out, Nick undid Melissa's bra.

Chamberlain House - Fiona's Room

Max and Fiona were waking up together.

Max saw who he was next to, sighing, remembering the night before, unable to help a small smile. "Great."

Fiona opened her eyes. "Good morning to you too."

"Good morning," Max replied, sitting up to get dressed. "Did last night really happen?"

Fiona smirked, sitting up. "You bet your ass it did."

"Oh, great," Max said. "There's extra sparkle in the mischief and mayhem that's usually in your eyes."

Fiona smiled. "At least I know now that you can tell what I'm feeling just by a look in my eyes. I told you this was inevitable. That we were."

"Yeah, well, probably shouldn't make a habit of this, in case our parents do get serious," Max told her, standing up.

Fiona rolled her eyes, sitting up, pulling on a pair of jeans. "Oh, come on. You know as well as I do that our parents are not even a serious thing, if at all. Just relax, Max."

Max chuckled sarcastically. "No matter how many times you say 'relax, Max' doesn't mean that I'm gonna relax. This is serious, Fiona. I know that you don't take anything seriously, but you should take this seriously."

"Our parents aren't serious," Fiona replied. "And we weren't before. But maybe we can be now. My mom's a bitch, so I wouldn't put it past her to try and date your dad to keep me from dating you, just like Faye's a bitch. Where do you think that we get it from? But I can make sure that nothing happens with your dad and our mom."

"And how are you going to do that?" Max asked.

Fiona smirked. "I can be bitch enough for all of us."

Max nodded sarcastically. "And I got the scars on my back to prove it."

Max pulled on his shirt.

Fiona chuckled. "Do you think that last night was a mistake?"

"Kissing you, or what happened after we got here?" Max asked.

"Both," Fiona answered.

Max sighed. "Maybe it was a mistake, maybe it wasn't, considering our parents. But either way, it's a good mistake."

"And would it still be a mistake if our parents weren't seeing each other?" Fiona asked, walking closer.

Max chuckled, shaking his head. "No. I wouldn't be a mistake then."

Fiona smiled. "Good."

Hearing something from the hallway, Fiona and Max looked toward her bedroom door.

Max looked at Fiona. "Get a shirt on."

"The first time a guy's ever had to say that to me," Fiona told him jokingly. Max gave Fiona an amused look. Fiona smirked slightly in amusement. "I think we can get away with a little more time together. Don't you?"

Max smirked. "Maybe."

Fiona dropped the shirt she was holding, meeting Max halfway in a passionate kiss. Max held her close as they continued to make out passionately. Fiona lifted Max's shirt over his head, both laughing lightly as they continued to make out.

Blake House - Cami's Room

Cami and Cassie were sitting on the window seat, looking up things about the boatyard fire on a laptop. 

12 Teens Die - Four injured - In tragic boatyard fire

They were looking stuff up about Heather Barnes.

❈

Chance Harbor High School - Hallway

Cassie and Cami were walking with Diana.

"Zachary said our mother did something terrible to Heather Barnes," Cassie explained. "He said it was worse than death. I need to know the truth about what she did."

"So what did you find out?" Diana asked.

"After the fire, she spent two years in a psychiatric hospital," Cami answered. "Then she was released and just dropped off the face of the earth."

"Did she have any family?" Diana asked.

"A brother in Finn Creek," Cassie answered. "No phone listing, but he lives close to here. Want to go with us after school, check it out?"

Diana nodded. "Yeah, of course." She remembered something. "Wait, I can't go today."

They ran into Adam, Nate, Eli, Elijah, Eliot and Harper.

"Can't go where?" Eli asked.

"Hey, guys," Elijah told them.

"Finn Creek," Diana answered.

Nate laughed. "Why do you wanna go to Finn Creek?"

"We're trying to find out what happened to Heather Barnes," Diana answered. "She has a brother there."

"And you think he knows something?" Eliot asked.

"It's worth checking out," Cami told them. "But Cassie and I can go by ourselves. It's no big deal."

Harper shook his head. "You don't wanna do that. Finn Creek is a sketchy area."

"Adam, Nate, why don't you take them?" Diana asked. "I can't reschedule my counselor eval."

Cassie shook her head. "No, it's fine. Really. We're fine."

"Heather was in that fire 16 years ago," Diana told them. "Maybe she can tell us what happened to our parents."

Adam nodded. "Sure. Uh, since you guys live next door to Nate, I'll pick you guys up after school?"

Nate nodded weirdly. "Okay."

"Diana, you sure about this?" Eli asked.

"Yeah," Diana answered. "It's okay, really. We're all friends."

"We're in this together, right?" Elijah asked sarcastically.

"Why do I feel like someone's about to sing High School Musical?" Eliot asked jokingly.

Harper laughed. "Shut up, Eliot."

The others chuckled, and everyone went their separate ways.

❈

Another Hallway

Faye was trying to open her locker.

Melissa and Tricia walked by, using circle magic to help Faye unlock the combination lock.

"I hate this binding stuff," Faye told them. "What's the point of being a damned witch if I can't do any magic by myself? I might as well become a cheerleader."

"Bite your tongue," Tricia told her.

Faye smirked. "Why can't it be fun? Like that movie, 'The Craft'? I mean the first half, not the stuff with the snakes. The part where we put spells on boys and change our hair color and levitate. We should practice later."

Melissa looked around. "I'm kind of tied up."

"With what?" Tricia asked, giving her a teasing look. "Nick? You guys seem happy now."

Melissa shrugged. "I think we can be."

Tricia chuckled.

"Look, Tricia, I know you're not gonna like this, and Melissa, I know you like this guy, but we both know it's not going to last," Faye told them. "He's a dog."

"That's not true," Melissa told her. "He can be sweet."

Faye opened her locker. "When he wants to get into your pants. He hits on every girl in school and you know it. Don't be that pathetic girl who thinks he'll change 'for me'. They never change."

Tricia rolled her eyes. "Okay, we get it. Everyone's a loser according to Faye Chamberlain. You feel better? Now you know why everyone likes Fiona more than you."

Tricia and Melissa walked away.

❈

Finn Creek

Adam's Jeep drove up to Heather's brother's trailer. Adam, Cassie, Cami and Nate got out of the car, walking up to the trailer.

"Oh, this is looking more and more like a bad idea," Cami told them.

Nate chuckled. "We'll be okay."

"What is this place?" Cassie asked.

"It used to be an old fishing village," Adam answered. "But most people moved away and this is what's left. This is it."

They walked up to the door, knocking.

A man named Wade opened the door.

"Hi," Nate told him. "We're looking for Wade Barnes."

"Actually, we were looking for Heather Barnes," Cami told him. "But we know that Wade lives here."

"I'm Wade," Wade told them. "What do you want with my sister?"

"Our mother, Amelia Blake, was friends with Heather when they were young," Cassie explained.

Wade sighed, chuckling at that name.

"You knew Amelia?" Adam asked.

"I knew her," Wade answered.

"Our mother died a few months ago," Cami explained. "We were hoping to ask Heather a few questions. Do you know where she is?"

"She's right here," Wade answered.

"Oh," Cassie said in surprise. "Would it be all right if we talked to her?"

"No, it wouldn't," Wade answered.

"Maybe that's something Heather should decide," Nate told him.

"You think so?" Wade asked. "Well, then come on in." Wade led the four of them in, closing the door behind them. They walked down the front hallway. Wade walked past them. "Stop." He led them into the living room, where Heather was sitting in a wheelchair. "Ask her anything you want."

Cassie and Cami walked closer.

"Heather?" Cami asked.

They walked around Heather, seeing she sat in the rocking chair, unmoving and unblinking.

"She hasn't moved in 15 years," Wade  explained.

"What's wrong with her?" Cassie asked.

"Years back, there was a fire at the boatyard," Wade explained.

"We know," Adam told him.

"Some died and some survived," Wade told them. He looked at Heather. "If you call this surviving."

"Do the doctors know what caused it?" Adam asked.

"No one does," Wade answered. He looked at Cassie and Cami. "She went there with your mother."

"Why?" Nate asked.

Wade shook his head. "I don't know. Kids used to go down to that boatyard to party and have fun. She was a different person back then."

Cassie leaned close to look at Heather. "I'm sorry."

Heather suddenly lunged forward to grab Cassie and Cami by the arms, making them both scream in shock. 

Adam and Nate ran closer. "Cassie! Cami!"

Wade was in absolute shock, running closer. "Let them go. Let them go!"

While Wade was trying to loosen Heather's grip, Adam and Nate pulled Cassie and Cami free. As soon as Heather no longer had a grip on the girls, she went back into her comatose state.

❈ Worlds Colliding (Secret Circle) ❈

Everyone was recovering from Heather grabbing Cassie and Cami.

"What just happened?" Cami asked.

"You said she hasn't moved in 15 years?" Nate asked.

"Not at all," Wade answered. "Not a muscle. And then you come." He stood, looking at Cassie and Cami. "What did you do?"

"Nothing," Cassie answered. "This didn't have anything to do with us."

"Well, she grabbed your arms, not mine, and not theirs," Wade replied, nodding to Adam and Nate. He turned to his sister, desperate to see her okay and able to move again. "Heather? Are you there? Hey. Heather, it's me. Can you hear me?" Cami noticed a symbol on Heather's arm. "Heather? It's okay."

Cami, Cassie, Nate and Adam exchanged a look.

Adam nodded. "We should go."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Barnes," Cami told him. "I wish there was something we could do to help."

Cami, Cassie, Nate and Adam left.

❈

Outside

Cami, Nate, Cassie and Adam walked toward the car.

"That scar on her arm, it's witchcraft, isn't it?" Cami asked.

"It's a sigil," Nate answered. "They're used for certain spells. I've seen them before in our research."

"Do you think that's what's wrong with her?" Cassie asked. "A spell? Zachary said our mother did something to Heather that was worse than death. Is that what he meant?"

"Cassie, Cami, I don't know," Adam told them.

"Is that why she grabbed us?" Cami asked. "Because somehow she knew we were related? It doesn't make any sense. Heather was her friend. Why would she do that to a friend?"

"We don't know your mother did this," Nate told them.

Cami and Cassie exchanged a look.

Cassie sighed. "No. We do know."

They walked toward the car.

❈

Night - Blake House - Cassie's Room

Cassie and Cami walked in, leading Adam and Nate with them.

"Where's your grandmother?" Adam asked.

"At the hospital, working the late shift," Cassie answered. "She's a nurse."

"I know," Nate told them. "When I was ten, she set my arm when I broke it."

Cassie took off the cover of her dresser corner to reach inside and grab the Blake Book of Shadows, taking it out.

Cami sighed, turning to Nate and Adam. "We found this."

"Is that what I think it is?" Nate asked.

Cassie nodded. "Our family's Book of Shadows. I found it when we first got here."

"But how?" Adam asked.

"Our mother left it for me to find," Cassie answered. "She wanted us to have it. We haven't told anyone."

"Can I see it?" Adam asked. Cassie handed it over. Adam looked through the book. "Each of the families has their own book, but Diana and Max are the only ones out of our bloodline circle that found theirs, and Eli, Eliot and Elijah have theirs. Everything we know about who we are, we got from their books. But it's specific to their families."

Nate looked at the pages. "Different spells, different histories. This book is completely different. We could learn so much from this."

Cami walked over to sit next to Nate, flipping to a page with the sigil. "The sigil on Heather's arm, we've seen it in here." She found the right page. "Here." She pointed to writing next to the sigil. "That's our mother's handwriting. She put the spell on Heather, but she said that someone helped her with the spell. Someone named Letty."

"Who's Letty?" Cassie asked.

Nate sighed knowingly. "Leticia Hartley." Cassie, Cami and Adam looked at him in surprise. "Tricia's mother."

"Tricia's mom helped our mom put the spell on Heather?" Cassie asked.

"Looks like," Adam agreed. "And since we didn't know, Tricia doesn't either."

"We need to know why our mom and Tricia's mom did this," Cami told them.

"It' a suppression spell of some kind," Adam explained.

"Why would our mother do that?" Cassie asked. "Why would Tricia's mother? I don't know about Tricia's mom, but our mother would never hurt someone like this. Not the mother we knew."

Nate shook his head. "Cami, Cassie, I'm sorry."

"Does it say how to undo it?" Cami asked.

Adam pointed to the pages. "Um, right here, I think."

"I want to," Cassie told them. "If we can undo this spell, then she can tell us what happened."

"If it even works," Nate told them.

"We have to try," Cami told them. "You saw that woman. If we can make her better, we have to."

None of them knew what to do.

Day Two

Morning - Boathouse

(Song:) All of This - The Naked and Famous

Melissa and Tricia were sitting at a table. Faye and Fiona walked closer.

"Hey," Fiona greeted. "What are you doing?"

"Waiting for Nick," Melissa answered. "I'm early. I asked Tricia to hang out until he gets here."

"That's cool," Fiona told them. "You guys haven't seen Max today, have you?"

"No," Tricia answered. "Why? You and Max already hitting a rough spot after your makeout the other night in front of the school?"

Fiona smirked. "No, but thanks for noticing, Tricia. I just wanna make sure that our parents aren't actually getting together."

"So they don't ruin you and Max?" Faye asked. "Puh-lease."

Melissa smiled. "I think it's romantic that you don't want anything to get in the way of you and Max, Fiona."

Fiona nodded, giving Faye a look before nodding to her best friend. "Thank you, Melissa."

Faye chuckled. "Listen, I wanted to apologize about before, Melissa. If you really like Nick, then I'll get on board with it. I promise. The last thing I'd want is for you to think I was jealous of him."

Melissa nodded in amusement. "Thanks."

"Sure," Faye said, looking out the window next to them. "And by the way, I think Nick got here early, too."

Fiona, Melissa and Tricia followed Faye's gaze, seeing Nick talking with a girl, realizing that Faye knew all along that he was out there with another girl.

Tricia looked at Faye in annoyance. "You're a bitch."

Faye chuckled, standing up. "Takes one to know one." She looked at Melissa. "And I'm your friend."

Faye walked away.

Witch House

Adam and Nate were helping Cami and Cassie.

"The spell requires a poultice," Adam explained.

"And that would be?" Cassie asked.

"A magic potion," Nate answered. "And I'm being serious. We have most of the ingredients here except the main one. Which is blood. The spell makers's blood, as in Amelia and Letty. One of you could give the blood for Amelia's part, and then we would need to ask Tricia for hers. You're cool with that?"

Cami nodded. "And, um, our mom and Tricia's mom used their blood to begin with, right?"

"If it was their spell, they did," Adam answered.

Nate held a needle toward Cami.

"Okay, can you do it?" Cami asked. "Because I'm like petrified of needles."

Nate chuckled. "Okay."

Cami turned her head away, holding her hand toward Nate, who took her hand and held the needle close. "Are you going to do it, or are you gonna just keep torturing me?"

Nate pricked Cami's finger, dripping the blood into a vial, putting a cloth to Cami's finger to stop the bleeding. They looked at each other for a moment.

Diana, Max, Eli, Elijah, Eliot and Harper walked in.

"What are the chances that Tricia's gonna hand over her blood with no questions?" Adam asked.

"None," Nate answered.

"Hey, guys," Max told them weirdly. "You're here."

"Adam and Nate told us what you want to do," Diana explained.

"Yeah, you should have seen Heather Barnes," Cassie told them. "We have to help her."

"Are you sure you are?" Eli asked.

"We're going to undo the spell that was put on her," Cami explained. "By our mom and Tricia's mom. So we need Tricia's blood and her help with the spell."

"I don't think that's a good idea," Elijah admitted. "What if we do it wrong? What if it hurts her worse?"

"We'll be careful," Cassie told them.

"But you have to remember, Tricia's just recovering from her disorder because of spells that Eli and Elijah were just able to cast on her a couple days ago," Eliot pointed out. "This heavy duty spell casting might be a little too soon for Tricia."

"And how do you even know what you're doing?" Harper asked. "Diana and Max's book, and Eli, Elijah and Eliot's, don't even tell you how to undo a spell like this."

Cassie showed them the Blake Book of Shadows. "Our book does."

"You found your book?" Max asked.

"It was their mother's," Nate explained. "She left it for them. It has the spell."

"You're the ones who always wanted to know what happened to our parents," Adam pointed out. "Maybe we can find out with the three books."

"Not now, Adam," Diana told him. "Not for this. It's too risky. For Heather and for Tricia."

"Cassie, Cami, I'm sorry, but you can't do the spell without Tricia, and it looks like she's not ready for this yet," Eliot told them.

"I mean, Tricia is strong and she's very capable, but we don't know what this spell could do to her or to Heather," Eli agreed.

"It's probably best to leave Tricia out of it," Elijah agreed.

"But we need Tricia," Cassie told them. "We can help Heather. You guys didn't see her, what our moms did. Please."

Harper looked worried, flashing back to his vision of the circle dead and a huge snake in 1.03. "I'm sorry. Maybe when we understand more, and when we're sure Tricia's ready, but right now, we just don't know enough, to do something like this."

They walked away.

Nate sighed. "Tricia's always capable, but I can't help but wonder if Diana, Max, Eli, Elijah, Eliot and Harper are right."

"Yeah," Cami agreed sadly. "Me too."

"All right, Nate, we can talk to them," Adam told him. "Harper's wigging out for some reason, other than Tricia, and I know that Eli, Elijah and Eliot are worried about her, and Diana and Max are worried about doing something like this too soon, but we can figure it out."

Nate and Adam walked away to go talk to them. Cassie and Cami looked at each other, sighing.

Melissa was still sitting at her table.

Nick walked closer, leaning closer to kiss her on the cheek. "Hey."

Melissa turned her head away. Nick sat down across from her.

"You having fun out there with your little chipee?" Melissa asked.

"What are you talking about?" Nick asked.

"I saw you talking to that girl," Melissa told him.

"You mean Andrea?" Nick asked. "Come on, Mel. We were talking."

"Didn't look like you were talking to me," Melissa replied.

"So now I can't talk to girls?" Nick asked. "Is that the deal now?"

Melissa scoffed. "You know, I was hoping maybe to get five minutes before you turned into a douche."

"What's going on with you?" Nick asked. "I thought things were good."

"You know what?" Melissa asked. "Faye was right. You're never going to change." Nick reached for her hand. Melissa pulled her hand away. "Go find another slut toy. I'm done."

"Hey, hey, hey," Nick said. "Come on."

Melissa stood, walking away.

Witch House

Cassie and Cami were sitting upstairs, looking through the Blake Book of Shadows.

Tricia, Faye and Fiona walked upstairs.

"What are you doing here?" Tricia asked.

"Adam, Nate, Diana, Max, Eli, Elijah, Eliot and Harper just left," Cassie explained.

"Why so pouty?" Fiona asked teasingly.

Cami replied in a singsong voice to tease Fiona right back. "You wouldn't understand."

Fiona sat down. "Try me. Cami, Cassie, you hardly know me, Tricia or Faye, so now's your chance."

Cassie looked at Fiona, accepting the challenge. "Fine. Cami and I wanna undo a spell that can answer a lot of questions about how our parents died 15 years ago, and Adam and Nate went to go convince Max, Diana, Eli, Elijah, Eliot and Harper to let Tricia help us."

Tricia nodded in confusion, then turned to shaking her head. "Boy, did we miss a chapter? Wait, why would you need my help?"

"Because the spell that was placed on Heather Barnes, our mother and your mother are the ones that placed it on her," Cami explained. "So we need your help with the spell and your blood to make the spell work to deactivate the spell that our mothers put on Heather to begin with. Adam and Nate were gonna help us, until Eli, Elijah and Eliot pointed out that it might be too soon for you, since Eli and Elijah just cast the bipolar disorder helping spells on you a couple days ago, and Diana, Max and Harper were worried that it was too soon for us to try spells like this."

Tricia frowned. "I have no idea what the hell you just said, but if it means proving to everybody, even Eli, Elijah and Eliot, that I can handle myself and do whatever the hell I want without their permission, and finding out what the hell my mother did and how our parents all died, I'm in."

Fiona smirked, shrugging. "And I'm bored as hell, and would love to hang out with more sister witches, so whatever you need help with, I'm game, just to put my boredom out of its misery. Only if Diana and Melissa were here, too."

Cami and Cassie smiled at Tricia and Fiona, who returned the smiles.

Faye smirked, shaking her head. "Whatever." She looked down, seeing the Blake Book of Shadows. "Wait a minute. Is that a Book of Shadows?" She took the book, standing up. "You have your own? Fiona and I have been looking for our family's book and we can't find it."

"I haven't been able to find mine, either," Tricia agreed.

"That's enough," Cassie said, taking the book from Faye, standing.

"Oh, come on," Faye told her. "Don't be like that." Cami, Tricia, Fiona and Faye stood. "Tricia may be able to help with the spell and the blood, but Fiona and I can help, too. You need ingredients, right? I'm guessing that Adam and Nate didn't help you get all of it before Diana, Max, Eli, Elijah, Eliot and Harper showed up."

"Okay, I get Tricia and Fiona wanting to help, Faye," Cami told her. "But you're gonna help us?"

"Sure," Faye answered. "If you let me read your book, why not? I mean, you need help."

"And to be honest, I have never understood why we're all not better friends," Fiona told them. "We are all sister witches, aren't we?"

Cassie and Cami exchanged a look, looking at Tricia, Fiona and Faye.

Night - Finn Creek - Wade's Trailer

Cassie, Cami, Tricia, Fiona and Faye were sneaking up to Wade's trailer, waiting for him to leave the house to go fishing at night.

Cassie nodded. "Let's go."

They were all being noiselessly quiet as they walked out of hiding, across the front of the trailer, up the steps to the door, where Cassie opened the door, and the five girls walked in.

"You conveniently left out the haunted house part," Fiona told them.

Cami nodded with a 'duh' expression. "Uh, yeah."

Tricia smirked. "Come on. It's not even scary."

"You say that now," Faye told her.

Tricia, Fiona, Faye, Cassie and Cami walked down the hallway, toward where Heather was.

"Come on," Cassie told them.

The girls walked toward Heather.

Fiona looked around. "This is really creepy."

Tricia walked around Heather to look at her. "Our mothers did this? Why?"

"I don't know," Cami admitted. "That's what we're hoping to find out."

Faye looked at Heather. "I mean, seriously. What could anyone do to deserve..." She looked at Cassie, Cami and Tricia. "Your mothers must have been two mean-ass witches--"

"Faye," Fiona cut her off. "Please. Can we just please try to help her?"

"I'm sorry," Faye said.

Fiona and Faye started to set up the ingredients that they needed to cast the spell.

Cassie handed the Blake Book of Shadows to Tricia.

Tricia took the book, unwrapping the strap around it, looking back at Heather. "Let's do this. We got Cami, Cassie's and my blood, and Fiona and Faye made the stuff that Adam and Nate helped them get."

Fiona nodded. "And then Tricia, Cassie and Cami will do the chant together."

Tricia flipped through the book. "Will it work?"

"I have no idea," Cassie admitted. "I don't know what the spell is, I don't know what the words mean. I don't even know how to pronounce them."

"I think we can do this," Cami told them. "We came all the way out here, so let's get to the bottom of it."

Faye and Fiona finished with the ingredients on Heather. Fiona was rubbing a potion made of Cassie, Cami and Tricia's blood and other things on Heather's wrist where the sigil was, dabbing some of it away.

Cassie, Cami and Tricia stood together in front of Heather, reading the spell from the book together. "Rongaire balorum eunarach vicit romnia. Rongaire balorum eunarac vicit romnia."

Nothing happened.

Faye looked at the girls. "Again?"

Cassie, Cami and Tricia nodded, doing the chant again. "Rongaire balorum eunarach vicit romnia. Rongaire balorum eunarac vicit romnia."

Again, nothing happened. Cassie, Cami and Tricia scoffed with disappointment.

Fiona looked at them. "I'm sorry, I thought it would work."

The front door to the trailer crept open, signaling that Wade was back. Cassie, Cami, Tricia, Fiona and Faye exchanged a look. In the front room, Wade heard creeping, running back through the hallway to check on Heather. The five witch girls were nowhere to be seen. He walked past Heather to look at the window, picking up a blanket to cover Heather with it.

Road

Cassie, Cami, Tricia, Fiona and Faye were on their way back to Cassie's car.

"I mean, maybe we did it wrong," Cami told them. "Maybe it was something with the potion."

"Can we talk about this in your car?" Faye asked. "Far away from here?"

"Thanks for trying, Tricia, even given everything that could've gone wrong with you," Cassie told her. "And Faye, Fiona, thanks for helping."

Tricia sighed. "I know I come across that I don't care about much, but both of my parents died that night. I wanna know what happened as much as anyone."

"Guess we're all on the same boat," Cami told them.

"Yep," Fiona agreed. "A boat full of sad witches."

They got to Cassie's car.

Faye looked at Cassie and Cami. "So how about we go back to your place and check out the book? Your place is right next to Tricia's place, and Nick and Nate's, so at least we can all hang out, right, Fiona?"

"Hell yeah," Fiona answered. 

"Another  time," Cassie told them.

"I'd say I've earned a peek," Faye told her. "Wouldn't you?"

"Cassie, Cami, come on," Tricia told them. "I'm tired of being alone at my house all the time. And Faye pisses me off, but at least she and Fiona are fun to be around."

"Thanks, Tricia," Fiona told her in amusement.

"Okay, I know Faye's only after the book," Cassie told them. "Tricia, Fiona, are you two seriously that bored?"

Fiona nodded, while Tricia raised her fist, both saying, "Yes."

"Besides, Cami, maybe you, Tricia, Cassie and Faye can help me figure out how to keep Faye's and my mom from dating Diana and Max's dad, so that they don't get in the way of me and Max," Fiona told her.

Cami smirked. "Aw, how romantic. Never thought that Max Meade could bring out the romantic, manipulative part of Fiona Chamberlain."

"Bite me, Blake," Fiona replied.

The five girls laughed, getting into the car to drive away.

Wade's Trailer

Wade was sitting in a chair, nearly falling asleep.

A snake was slithering beneath Heather's skin, from the mark on her wrist, up her arm, chest and neck to her head. She woke with a gasp, breathing heavily.

Wade looked at her in shock. "Heather?" He stood, walking toward her. "Oh, my God." Heather stood, turning to face Wade, smiling at the sight of her brother. Then after a moment, the snake inside her started to take effect, causing her to breath heavily and growl like an animal, as she tried not to attack Wade. "Heather, what the hell's happening?"

Heather screamed, pushing Wade through a wall, knocking him out, leaving in a hurry.

Armstrong House - Nick's Room

(Song:) No Sacrifice - Uh Huh Her

Melissa was sitting on the bed, waiting for Nick.

Nick walked in. "Waiting to catch me cheating?"

"I came to apologize," Melissa answered. She stood. "I overreacted."

"You think?" Nick asked.

"I saw you with that other girl, and I just went off," Melissa admitted. "I'm sorry."

"Yeah?" Nick asked.

"Faye was saying some things and I made the mistake of listening," Melissa explained.

"Like what?" Nick asked.

Melissa sighed. "It doesn't matter. Just stupid things. It's not like you're my boyfriend or anything, so I don't have the right to be jealous."

Nick nodded. "Okay."

Melissa hesitantly stepped closer. "So.. we're good?"

"Yeah, we're good," Nick answered.

They both smiled and held hands.

Witch House

Harper was drawing furiously in his sketchbook, not able to focus on anything else.

Eliot walked closer. "Harper? What are you doing?"

"What's it look like, Eliot?" Harper asked. "I'm drawing."

"No, really?" Eliot asked sarcastically. "Thanks, Captain Obvious. I mean, what are you drawing?"

"I don't know," Harper said. "It's not finished yet. We'll both know when it's finished."

Eliot looked at the other drawings nearby. "They're all the same. What are those, snakes?"

Harper didn't answer, still drawing.

Diana, Eli, Elijah, Adam, Nate and Max walked in.

"Nate, Adam, I'm sorry for putting you two in the middle of this thing with Tricia, Cassie and Cami," Diana apologized.

"I understand why you don't want to do this," Adam admitted. "Nate and I just know how badly Cassie and Cami want to find answers, and how badly Tricia would if we told her."

"Tricia would kill us if she found out that Cassie and Cami had a way to figure out more answers and we didn't tell her because Eli, Elijah and Eliot were worried that she wasn't ready," Nate pointed out.

"Maybe so, Nate," Eli told him. "Doesn't mean that we can't try and protect them and others. I don't want Cassie and Cami to get hurt, or Tricia."

"Eli's always felt like it was his job to protect everyone," Elijah told them. "Tricia especially with her disorder and control issues that we don't have to worry about anymore because of the binding. I just want to make sure that everyone's safe."

Max noticed Eliot and Harper. "Eliot? What's Harper drawing?"

"We're not sure yet," Eliot admitted. "I see a lot of snakes in here, and this sigil."

Eliot showed them a drawing of the sigil on Heather's arm.

Adam pointed at the sigil. "Well, that's the sigil on Heather's arm, that Cassie, Cami and Tricia's mothers put on her to make her that way."

Elijah frowned. "I've seen that sigil before."

"What?" Nate asked. "How?"

Elijah took out the Weston Book of Shadows, going through it. "I knew there was something about that symbol that bugged me." He found the page he was looking for, turning the book to show them. "Look at this."

"These are all Ubilaz markings," Eli explained. "Uh, really old, black magic. Demons, evil entities, possession."

"Heather was possessed?" Diana asked.

Eli flipped to the other page. "The notes here are all about using snakes and insects as vessels for dark energy. Forcing them inside someone."

Harper held up his drawings of snakes. "Like these. The snakes I've been drawing. I've been drawing demons?"

"Looks like," Nate agreed.

"I think the sigil's meant to keep it from coming back out," Elijah told them. "Like a suppression spell."

"This is way beyond witchcraft," Max told them. "It's seriously dark magic."

Adam looked through the book. "None of this was in Cassie and Cami's book. If they'd known about this, they never would have tried the spell."

Diana nodded. "That's kind of the point I was making."

"As long as Cassie and Cami didn't tell Tricia, they can't do the spell, and we're all safe, right?" Eliot asked.

Harper was finishing another drawing, which was of the Blake house, with a snake/demon. "I wouldn't be too sure of that."

"What is that?" Adam asked.

Diana looked at the drawing. "Looks like Cami, Cassie and Tricia... with Fiona and Faye."

Nate pointed at the drawing of the snake. "And the snake. Or demon, or whatever."

"Cami and Cassie told Tricia," Eli realized. "They did the spell. Fiona and Faye must have helped them."

"And now the demon is..." Max trailed off, becoming very angry, worried and protective. "Damn it, Fiona."

"Cami, Cassie, Tricia, Fiona and Faye are going to be attacked by this thing?" Eliot asked.

Nate became very angry and worried, protective. "We've got to get there, now."

They all ran from the witch house.

Blake House - Cami's Room

(Song:) Give You More - Taxi Doll

Faye and Fiona were laying on the bed, looking through the Blake Book of Shadows. Tricia sat behind them, reading over their shoulders curiously. Cami sat on the window seat.

Cassie was pacing anxiously, walking closer. "Okay, that's enough for today."

Cassie tried to take the book.

Faye held onto it tighter, pulling it closer to her. "Oh, calm down. Or I could take it home with me. Be out of your hair."

Fiona smirked. "Faye, chill with the book. And Cassie, relax. You know that Cami, Tricia and I won't let Faye do anything with it for real."

Cami chuckled. "Whatever you say, Fiona." They heard a knock on the door from downstairs. "Looks like I've got to go get the door. As long as you and Tricia keep Faye from doing anything, Cassie and I'll be fine."

Cami walked out of the room.

Faye, Fiona and Tricia smiled, looking at the book.

Cassie sighed in defeat, walking out of the room to follow Cami.

"Will you bring back snacks?" Tricia called after her. "No carbs."

Foyer

Cassie followed her sister downstairs. "I'm serious, Cami. I don't like the book being with Faye, Fiona or Tricia for that long."

"Relax, Cass," Cami told her. "It's not like Fiona and Tricia are gonna let Faye do anything bad."

Cassie and Cami both stopped when they saw that the front door was hanging open, walking closer to look outside. Cassie closed and locked the door. Cami felt like something was wrong, walking toward the kitchen, looking around.

Heather walked around the corner in front of her, making Cami jump and gasp as she backed away. "Where's Amelia? Letty?"

Cassie and Cami both looked at her in shock.

❈❈

Tricia walked downstairs. "Cassie? Cami? What's going on?"

"Tricia..." they trailed off.

Tricia looked at Heather in shock, walking closer to Cassie and Cami.

Heather walked closer to Tricia, Cassie and Cami. "Can you help me find Amelia and Letty?"

"They're not here," Cassie told her. "How did you--" She noticed that Heather was scratching her arm. "Are you okay?"

Heather was so upset. "I need to see them."

"Amelia and Letty passed away," Cami explained softly. "Leticia Hartley's been dead for 15 years."

Heather started to cry. "No."

"We're Amelia's daughters," Cassie told her. "Cassie and Cami. Letty's daughter, Tricia? She's right there."

"You were babies," Heather told them. "I tried to help your parents take you away."

"What?" Tricia asked.

"Our mom did," Cami told her. "She took us far away from here."

"She wanted you to be safe," Heather admitted. "She tried to leave that night. Letty and William, they wanted to take you away, but they didn't, did they, Tricia?"

"No," Tricia answered. "No, they both died that night at the fire."

"William?" Cassie asked. "Hartley? Was that your dad, Tricia?"

Tricia swallowed, nodding, looking at Heather. "Can you tell us what happened that night, about the fire?"

"They were trying to stop it," Heather told them. "They wanted to protect us. All of us. But it went inside me."

"What did?" Cami asked.

"Evil," Heather answered. "And I can still feel it. It hurts." She screamed, slamming into the wall. "Amelia couldn't get it out. But Letty helped her suppress it. They made the pain go away. And now it's come back. Can you please help me?"

Cassie and Cami were both close to tears from seeing how much pain Heather was in, how scared she was. Tricia didn't know what to do.

"How?" Cassie asked. "How can we?"

Heather held her head, crying. "Please... make it stop."

Heather screamed, sliding over the floor. Tricia, Cassie and Cami could do nothing but watch in shock as the snake slid underneath the skin of Heather's cheek.

❈

Cami's Room

Fiona and Faye were still reading the Book of Shadows, unaware of what was going on downstairs.

While on the road, Harper, Max, Adam and Diana were driving in one car, and Eliot, Elijah, Eli and Nate were driving in another, on the way to the Blake house, but having just left the woods to get to their cars and having to drive through traffic to get there. All of them were trying to get either Cassie, Cami, Faye, Tricia or Fiona on the phone, but Fiona, Tricia, Cassie and Cami's phones were dead.

Faye's phone had 20% battery left, so she answered her call from Eli, putting a finger to her lips to signal to Fiona to be quiet, putting on a sexy, teasing voice to toy with Eli. "Hi, sweetie. I miss you. Come make magic with me."

Fiona was trying not to laugh.

"What?" Eli asked. "Faye? Faye, listen to me. This is important."

Faye smiled. "Oh, you sound hot. What are you wearing?"

"Faye, please," Eli told her.

There was static on the phone to where they couldn't hear each other.

"Eli?" Faye asked.

"Faye?" Eli asked.

Their connection dropped completely. Faye and Fiona exchanged a confused look.

❈

Living Room

Tricia, Cassie and Cami were kneeling next to Heather, making sure she was okay.

Heather was waking up. "What happened?"

"You fainted," Cassie answered.

Tricia pointed to the sigil on Heather's wrist. "Is that what our moms did? Is that how they stopped your pain?"

Heather nodded tearfully. "Yes." Tricia, Cassie and Cami helped Heather stand. "I went to the boatyard, but I couldn't find Amelia. Not until it got in me. She couldn't stop it alone, but Letty helped her and locked it away inside me."

"What is 'it'?" Cami asked. "How did the fire start?"

"Wherever there are witches, evil follows," Heather told them.

"What do you mean?" Cassie asked.

"They'd been summoned," Heather told them. "They were trying to use your mother's power. Them and their friends."

"Who was?" Tricia asked. "Why?"

Heather cried. "They couldn't stop them all. And one of them got inside me."

"One what?" Cami asked. "Heather, please, tell us who they were trying to stop."

"Demons," Heather answered with a growl, before she started to breathe heavily and convulse and shake, coughing as the snake slithered around under her skin, visible for Tricia, Cassie and Cami to see, causing their mouths to drop in shock.

"Heather?" Cassie asked.

Heather was completely overcome by the demon, pushing Cami into the next room, making her hit her head and fall unconscious to the floor.

Cassie and Tricia turned after her in shock and worry. "Cami!"

Before Cassie and Tricia could use circle magic to defend themselves, Heather knocked them both out.

❈

Foyer

Fiona walked downstairs. "Hey, Tricia? Cassie? Cami? Are you guys having phone issues. Faye just lost a call with Eli." She stopped when she saw Cami down the hall knocked out, running to check on her. "Cami?" She saw Tricia and Cassie nearby, unconscious. "Tricia! Cami!"

Heather walked toward Fiona with a fire place poker, ready to attack. Fiona screamed, backing away. 

Hearing the scream, Faye walked downstairs. "Fiona?"

Fiona ran to the door. "Faye!"

Before Fiona could get to the door, Heather grabbed her and threw her onto the stairs.

Faye ran closer worriedly. "Fiona!"

Faye helped Fiona up, as the two ran upstairs. Heather levitated to the top of the stairs to go after them, chasing them through the upstairs hallway.

❈

Cami's Room

Fiona and Faye ran into the room, slamming the door behind them.

Fiona spelled the door to keep it closed. "Dormant."

"How long's that gonna hold?" Faye asked.

Heather was banging at the other side of the door, causing them both to jump.

"Not long," Fiona answered. "Get back."

Armstrong House - Nick's Room

Melissa and Nick were starting to hook up, still clothed, trying to ignore their ringing phones, but giving up, they had to answer.

Nick answered his phone. "Nate?"

Melissa answered her phone. "Elijah?"

Nate and Elijah were both on the road, almost there with the others.

"Nick, tell me you're at home and you can get to Cassie and Cami's house right now," Nate told him. "They, Tricia, Fiona and Faye are in danger."

"Melissa, you with Nick?" Elijah asked. "Cassie, Cami, Tricia, Fiona and Faye need your help."

Cami, Cassie and Tricia were starting to wake up, hearing Faye and Fiona scream from upstairs.

Cami's Room

Heather broke into the room, trying to attack Faye and Fiona. Fiona magically pushed Heather back, and they ducked past Heather toward the door to run out.

❈

Foyer

Fiona and Faye ran downstairs.

Cami, Cassie and Tricia ran toward them.

"Come on, run!" Tricia told them.

They all almost got to the door when Heather jumped down between them and the door, blocking their way, causing the five girls to scream.

"Back door!" Cassie told them, leading the way.

As the five girls ran for the back door, the power went out, and they saw that the back door was blocked off, hiding behind a table. They looked at each other in fear.

"Front door," Cami told them. "Run."

They stood, running for the front door, getting the door open, screaming when they saw Nick outside.

Nick tried to calm the girls down. "It's me. What's going on? Nate and Elijah called--"

Melissa was behind Nick, looking over his shoulder, pointing behind the girls. "Look behind you!"

Heather was behind Tricia, grabbing her by the hair, flinging her to the side, right into the wall. When she tried to step closer to Tricia, Nick grabbed Heather, trying to pull her away, turning and throwing her into the wall. Melissa helped Tricia up.

Nick, Melissa, Tricia, Cami, Cassie, Fiona and Faye all stood, facing off with Heather. Heather looked between them, before running outside. Nick ran after Heather to chase her out into the street. The girls followed him.

❈

Outside

Nick and the girls chased Heather.

Adam, Diana, Max, Nate, Eli, Elijah, Eliot and Harper had just gotten there, getting out of the two cars, running toward Nick, Tricia, Cassie, Cami, Fiona, Faye and Melissa. They all looked at Heather, breathing heavily.

Heather ran into the street.

Wade got out of his truck, trying to get Heather's attention. "Heather? Heather, it's me!"

Heather stopped in the middle of the road. A car ran over Heather, making her body fling through the air, flying over the car and falling onto the ground behind it as it came to a stop, as the circle all watched in shock and horror.

The man driving the car got out of the car. "She came out of nowhere."

Adam, Diana, Max, Nate, Eli, Elijah, Eliot, Harper, Nick, Tricia, Cassie, Cami, Fiona, Faye and Melissa all looked at each other.

❈❈

The circle watched as police and paramedics were taking care of the scene, watching as they took Heather's body away. They didn't notice that the snake/demon slithered out of a wound in Heather's arm, and got to Nick's jacket.

Wade walked toward the circle.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Barnes," Cassie told him.

"She's at peace now," Wade told them, walking away.

(Song:) Coming Down - Dum Dum Girls

Nick looked at Tricia. "I'm glad you're okay."

"Me too," Nate agreed.

"I'm pretty far from okay," Tricia admitted. "But at least I'm alive. Thanks."

Max and Fiona shared an embrace.

"I was really worried about you," Max told her.

Fiona smirked, trying to tease to release the tension. "So no longer pushing me away, huh, Max?"

Max tilted his head. "Fiona."

"I know," Fiona said softly. "And you guys came to save me, Tricia, Cassie, Cami and Faye. That means a lot."

Faye put an arm around Fiona. "Come on, Fiona. You can talk to Romeo in the morning. Later, Max."

"Bye, Faye," Max replied.

Faye looked at Melissa. "Come on. We'll give you a ride home."

Melissa shook her head. "Oh, no thanks. But I'll see you tomorrow. I'm glad you guys are okay."

Faye and Fiona started to walk away.

Eli stepped after them. "Faye."

Faye stopped, turning back. "Thanks for coming to the rescue, Eli. As usual. See you tomorrow."

Eli nodded in agreement. "Just glad you're okay."

Faye managed a small smile, walking to her car with Fiona to get in and drive away.

Nick looked at Tricia, raising his eyebrows.

Tricia nodded. "I'm fine. Just go. I'll be two houses over if we need anything from each other."

Nick nodded in agreement, as Nick and Melissa went to the Armstrong house.

Nate walked toward Cami. "I'm sorry you had to go through this."

"I still don't even get what happened, really," Cami admitted. "One minute she was talking to me, Cassie and Tricia, and then..."

"We found the sigil your mom and Tricia's mom used to suppress the demon in Eli, Elijah and Eliot's Book of Shadows," Nate explained.

"A demon?" Cami repeated. "That's what Heather said. How can there be demons?"

Nate shook his head in confusion. "I just know we have to be careful. There's too much we don't understand."

Cami held her head in frustration. "What were we thinking? Taking any of this on without knowing anything?"

"You need answers," Nate told her. "We all do. I understand. But after this, we just have to be careful how we get them. I was... I was just really worried about you, and I got angry at the thought of you being in danger."

Cami managed a small smile. "You got protective over me pretty quickly, Nate."

They chuckled.

"I'm just glad you're okay, Cami," Nick told her. Tricia walked by. "And I'm glad you're okay, too, Tricia."

Tricia nodded, gazing off. "We let her loose."

"Don't blame yourselves," Nate told them. "You guys, Cassie, Faye and Fiona were trying to do the right thing. Or what you guys thought was the right thing. No one can actually blame you for that."

"Yeah, well, I can," Tricia replied.

"Tric," Nate sighed. "We all lost a parent in the fire. You, me, Nick and Jake lost both. We all wanna know what happened." They all nodded. "If you guys need anything, I'm just a house or two away."

Tricia and Cami nodded. Everyone went their separate ways to go home.

Armstrong House - Nick's Room

Nick and Melissa walked in.

"You were pretty impressive back there," Melissa told him.

Nick took off his jacket, putting it down on a chair. "Thanks." He turned to face Melissa, crossing his arms. "So, are you staying over?"

Melissa nodded. "Yeah, if it's okay."

Nick sighed. "I'm never going to be the guy you want me to be."

"Is that a warning or a threat?" Melissa asked.

Nick walked closer. "I'm going to disappoint you. You deserve better."

Melissa couldn't help but smile. "That's the sweetest thing you've ever said to me. I'm not disappointed."

They started to kiss.

Street

Eliot and Harper were walking home.

"Why didn't you go with Eli and Elijah?" Harper asked.

"I wanted to walk with you, the same reason why you didn't go with Adam," Eliot answered. "I know that you said before that you felt useless and that you felt like you didn't have anything to offer or bring to the circle, Harper. But if tonight proved anything, it proved you wrong. We wouldn't have been able to know that Tricia, Cassie, Cami, Fiona and Faye were in danger, and Nate and Elijah couldn't have called Nick and Melissa to go help save them, and they would have died, if it wasn't for you and your powers."

"Eliot..." Harper trailed off.

"I'm serious," Eliot told him. "You saved their lives tonight. You're so much more important than you think you are."

Harper managed a small smile. "Thanks. I guess I'm just worried about what happens if I don't get a vision or a drawing done like that in time to stop something bad from happening."

Eliot shook his head. "Don't think like that. Let's just go home and sleep and refresh in the morning."

Harper nodded in agreement. "Okay."

They smiled slightly, walking down the street, going separate directions.

Blake House - Foyer

Cassie heard a knock on the door, seeing Adam through the glass window, walking toward the door to open it.

"Hey," Adam told her.

Cassie looked outside. "Where's Diana?"

"I took her and Max home," Adam answered.

"She knows you're here?" Cassie asked.

"No," Adam answered. "I wanted to be sure you're okay. And I thought you might need some help cleaning up. That's what friends do, right?"

"Cami's helping me clean up," Cassie explained. "But we could use the help."

Cassie and Adam walked toward Cami in the living room.

"You got a broom?" Adam asked.

Cami nodded sarcastically. "Sure. We're witches." They laughed. "So how many times did Diana and Max say, 'I told you so'?"

Adam shook his head. "Not once. Until right when they were walking inside their house." They went to go clean. "Hey, I'm glad you and Tricia found out your guys's moms were trying to do the right thing."

Cami nodded in agreement. "Me too. But Diana and Max were right, and so were Eliot, Eli and Elijah. We were so determined to find out, we put us all in danger."

Adam shook his head. "No. You were right. Maybe we didn't go about it the right way, but a maniac came after us at the dance. And tonight, a demon. And a bunch of ghosts attacked you, Cami, and Nate, Max, Eliot, Fiona and Harper, through scarecrows when Harper tried to get a vision, which showed him all of us ending up dead and a big snake/demon coming after us. We need to know what happened 15 years ago. Our lives depend on it."

Cassie shook her head. "I'm not sure, Diana, Max, Eliot, Eli and Elijah agree."

"Diana doesn't," Adam answered. "But Max, Eliot, Eli and Elijah will, as long as we're getting answers safely."

"They do?" Cami asked.

"After tonight?" Adam asked. "Yeah. What's out there is a lot bigger than any of us ever thought."

Armstrong House - Nick's Room

Melissa and Nick were sleeping in bed. The snake/demon slithered out of Nick's jacket pocket, up onto the bed, over Nick, and onto Melissa, creeping inside her ear, planning to take possession of her.
