Secret Love (Secret Circle Fan Fiction)

Chapter 15

"Have you always had such a way with words" Jake managed to say through his laughter.

"I've always been witty." I said as I leant my head against one of the pillows at the top of the bed. Catching my hint that I needed some sleep, Jake turned off the light and lay down beside me. Letting out a deep sigh I closed my eyes. Maybe Jake was right, not about the whole me needing to jump him, but about Adam. What if we weren't meant to be together, what if this energy that flows between Jake and I is what can keep everyone safe. Either way its not fair to either of them.

"Your not going to be able to get to sleep unless you empty your mind Cas." Jake's whispered through the darkness.

"And you would no all about having an empty mind wouldn't you Jake." I said smugly, as I turned away from him.

The fire consumed the forest, trapping me.

"There is little point in trying to run." A deep mans voice called from somewhere in the distance. "You knew this was coming." I didn't recognize the voice, and I couldn't see anyone through the smoke. I was alone.

"Show yourself!" I screamed into the distance. A cackle that made my blood chill surrounded me.

"Blackwell's are always so brave. Too bad that you couldn't embrace your power" The voice was laughing again "Cassie...Cassie...Cassie!" And the it started to change, and it sounded like Jake.

"Cassie! Wake UP!" He was shaking me, staring down at me with worried eyes.

"Jake, i'm fine. It was just a nightmare." He let go of me reluctantly.

"You weren't breathing. You were just laying there and then you sat straight up screaming. I tried to talk to you, even reach for you, but then it was like you just passed out. And I couldn't feel you breathing..."

"Well I'm fine now, so just go back to sleep."

...

Neither of us got much sleep. I couldn't bare returning to that dream, and Jake was worried that I might keel over and die during the night.

"I'm going to miss the shower you know." Jake said innocently as he once again looked towards the bathroom.

"Yeah, well i'm sure its not the only one left in existence." We weren't really sure where we were supposed to head to, Chance Harbor seemed out of the question. Jake new some friends who used to live close by, so our best bet was to try and find them. He stole a car, and didn't even use magic. "Handy." I said with a nod, which earn't me one of his wicked smiles.

"We have about a day until we need to ditch it." Jake said as we climbed into the beaten old sedan.

"Well we had better get moving then." Turning the car into drive, Jake pulled out onto the highway heading eastward.

"So have you thought anymore about my proposition?" Jake asked casually, as I was trying to find a radio station with decent music.

"I didn't realize it was a proposition." I said with a shrug of my shoulder. "Because I'm not really getting anything out of it, if we really think about it."

"Ahh..thats not true." Jake said, turning to look at me briefly, before starting to count on his fingers. "For one you get to gain control over your dark magic."

"Thats depending on if you are correct about that whole thing." I mentioned. Ignoring me, he continued.

"Secondly you don't have to worry about the niceties of dating someone. And thirdly you get have mind blowing sex with someone who was probably chiseled from the features of a God." I couldn't help but roll my eyes.
