Only If you swear...

Chapter Eight

Water flew through the air and splashed in the wooden bowl, well, at least it looked like water. It was clear, and as I looked inside it there was a purple stone. "So, where are you supposed to put it?" Cass moved my hair off of my neck "Same place as the last," She smiled warmly " I can't tell you when I'm going to do it. It'll hurt much more. Believe me." She winced. I nodded as a sharp pain jolted into my neck "Fuuuu-" "Nnnnnn," Cass added to my previous statement of pain. I burst out laughing. "Wait, better test it! What animal am I thinking of?" Llama. Totally a llama. In a scarf and a ha- "Llama in a scarf and hat." Cass replied trying desperately to conceal her laughter. "Um, How did you?" Cass pointed to my shirt. "Oh." My shirt had a picture of a llama with a hot chocolate, wearing a scarf and a hat. "I see. Probably should have thought of a less obvious one then." Cass laughed "Wouldn't hurt," I began to ponder about the whole 'OUR GOD IS YOUR FATHER' thing. "Hey, Cass?" Her eyes lit with recognition "Yeah?" "How could my father possibly be the same as yours?" Cass smirked "Well, when a man and a woman love each-" I interrupted "NO NO NO NO! GOD NO! I meant why does my dad believe he's my dad, and why did my mother never mention this?" I spoke over Cass' laughter. "Well, my - sorry - Our real father probably had something to do with that, maybe he just changed his memories? Or perhaps you're mother lied to him? And she may have not mentioned it to you because, well, It's slightly hard to believe isn't it? I mean, If I hadn't of been brought up here in Hell, oh and I didn't have horns, I would have never believed it." I mean she was right. I would never have believed it if I had been told outside of hell. "So did he recognise me?" I asked, Cass, shook her head "Probably not, but he wasn't looking at you he was looking at me through the curtains. We'll find out later when you can stay or go, you know?" I nodded. "Any ideas to save Becca?" Cass smiled sadly, "I'm not sure, we have to find a human or a soul. That's the only way you can save Becca, But if you save her, you have to um," Panic just slapped me in the face. "What! What do I have to do?" Cass winced, "Stay here." She said calmly but with a sense of sympathy. "Well, I don't know I mean, It depends," It seems like Cass was expecting this answer as she lowered her head in sadness. "I Know. I'm sorry, Its the only way to save Becca," Becca. I know she was a good friend. But was she really worth my soul? I always would do anything for her but this was reallllyyyy pushing it. Like. Really. Pushing. It. Ugh. I have no idea what to do. "Cass, help me out here, what am I to do? Please? I love it here, but my family, my friends."

Cass sighed and nodded, "It's your choice, I hope you make the right one,"  I nodded and smiled. Damn it, Cass! You're meant to help me out! But I knew this was a decision to be made on my own. And for once, I think I knew how to make it.
