Cassie POV

I really couldn't believe Diana was just leaving. We just found out we're sisters and she just wants to take off? She says we'll always be sisters no matter where she goes but I can see the fear in her eyes, she hates me now, for what I had to do to save us, and how can I blame her. It scares me sometimes, the things we can do, and she hasn't had nearly as much experience with our power.

I'm really alone now, my dad is gone, my mom is gone, my grandma is gone, and now Diana too? I cant help but think of Grandma as I look around the empty house that used to be hers, It's so neat and tidy, all the books in just the right place, all the couches clean and everything with barely any dust on it. It hasn't been long since grandma died and the dust is just starting to gather.

I still have the rest of the circle I guess, but things with Adam and I have been pretty bad lately, as much as I love him I can tell he's afraid of me, and Jake…well I think he and Faye are finally going to work things out, I'm happy for them, Jake and I were never right together as much as we wanted it and he and Faye will be happy together. Speaking of Faye surprisingly since grandma died shes been there for me the most, with Diana so distracted lately by her magic and her da…Charles, I've had a lot more time with her, and she's been a really good friend to me.

I think I just really need some rest. I can deal with Diana leaving tomorrow, maybe I'll go on a trip of my own nothing really holding me here in town. I grab the phone off the hook and plop down on my couch, already dialing before I hit the cushions, a drowsy voice answers "Cassie? Its like three in the morning, why the hell are you waking me up?" I cant keep the grin off my face at the sound of Faye's annoyance "I just like tormenting you, you make funny sound when you're mad."

Her answering frustrated groan brings a chuckle to my lips "I'm hanging up now." My eyes widened "Wait no, please!" There was an awkward pause on the other end of the phone line "Cassie is everything all right?" Faye actually sounded…concerned, I must sound worse than I though. "Yeah, I'm just a little…It feels a bit weird here, with no one around. I kind of needed someone to talk to, just while I try to fall asleep."

I expected her to say she was going back sleep and hang up, but Faye lingered on the line, and after a brief pause said "I'm coming over." I blinked at the receiver "But it's 3 am? You said-" Faye's trademark exasperated huff was exactly what I was expecting "Well im clearly not going to get any sleep now, the least I can do Is make sure you get full exposure to the bad mood you caused." I gave a derisive snort at her attitude, it almost helped me cover up my smile.

It didn't take long for Faye to show up, only about twenty minutes and she strutted in like she owned the place, with a blanket over her shoulder and a pillow in her hand. She dragged me up the stairs to my room and we plopped down on the bed. It took a few minutes to get our things set up and immediately after getting herself settled she fixed me with an intense stare "Ok Cassie, spill. I can tell this isn't just being afraid of the dark, you're worried about something specific."

Her stare was more intense than I was comfortable with, though Faye's always was and after chewing my lip in indecision I finally decided to tell her. "Its stupid. It's just…I've been having these dreams." She cocked an eyebrow at me mockingly "That's it? You called me over for a few nightmares?" I was starting to feel uncomfortable "No just the one nightmare, I've had it for a while now, since I got my dark magic, but this last week its been every night. It feels so real, every night I wake up screaming."

The mocking eyebrow dove into a furrow followed closely by its twin "What happens?" I was scared to voice it, as if saying out loud would give it some kind of foothold to claw its way into reality, but I steeled myself and spoke in slow measured tones "I'm laying in bed, and im alone. I can tell someone is nearby, but I'm not worried, I'm safe with this person and I don't care that I cant feel them next to me, theres nothing odd going on. I smell a cologne, and I realize the person in the room is Adam, I smile, but don't open my eyes, Im too tired and I want to sleep for a few more minutes."

Faye is listening intently, her too wide eyes focused on me, glittering with an almost catlike intensity in the dim light of my room. My breaths were shuddering and stilted at this point, but I straightened my back and kept talking "I'm laying there smiling…and I feel a dripping on my face, one drop, then two, its warm and I don't want to open my eyes, but I know I need to see what it is, and I open my eyes…and its Adam, he's pinned to the ceiling with a wide cut along his stomach and he's staring at me, terrified. I open my mouth to scream…and the ceiling is engulfed in a sea of flames."

Faye POV

I was transfixed by Cassie's story, unable to pull my eyes from her face. She was obviously terrified and haunted by this dream, and despite all the jealousy and venom between us she was part of my circle, like a sister, and if theres one thing that's important to me, its family. Nobody gets to mess with the members of my circle but me. But there was something else, something from the depths of my memory, I'd heard this story before, a long time ago. I couldn't remember where but I remembered that it was in my mother's book.

I looked at Cassie steadily, I had a lot of anger towards her, she had power I should've had, power she didn't even want. I should've had the dark magic not Cassie, I should have been Blackwells daughter. But I wasn't Blackwells daughter, I wasn't even a Chamberlain. Just the result of some one night stand my mother had seventeen years ago. But despite all that anger and animosity, I was angry. Cassie was one of mine, she was part of my world. Nobody messes with Faye Chamberlains world, not if they want to keep breathing.

I took a deep breath "Cassie…I've heard a story like that before…I only barely remember it but it was in my mothers book, we can find out from her what your nightmares mean. Don't worry, nothing is gonna happen to Adam." She looked confused "I know we've been getting along better but still, after everything that happened why be so nice to me?"I grinned cockily at her "You may all be losers but you're my losers, and the only one who gets to mess with you is me. Besides, think of how much street cred I'll get for rescuing Darth Barbie from her nightmare ghostie."

She smiled wanly at me and leaned forward impulsively to hug me. I stiffened and made noises of protest but I didn't really mind, when my mom had told me about my real dad I had lost so much of my identity, the circle were the only family I had left. The old Faye was taking a permanent siesta, the only part of me that I was keeping was my name. I refused to use my moms last name because I wouldn't give her the satisfaction, and I had no connection to my real dad. Besides…what the hell kind of name is Faye Winchester anyway?
