Return to the Past

Disclaimer: I do not own Secret Circle

Cassie was standing there begging her sister not to go. Diana was the only family she had left and she didn't want to lose her. Diana on her part was insisting on leaving. She didn't want to be around anymore. She needed a break from magic, the circle, and even her sister. She didn't want the dark magic Cassie had released in her. She knew Cassie meant well when she did it, but now she had to get away from everything.

Before either of the two could say anything there was a loud bang that came from Cassie's living room where the rest of the circle was. Cassie turned around and ran into the living room. Diana paused for a second and then followed her sister.

When Cassie got to the living room it was to see Faye with her hands on the crystal skull. Cassie was pissed. She had thought they had just agreed what to do with that thing. Using her magic she pulled the skull to her and left it at her feet. "Faye, what are you doing? I thought we just agreed we were going to bury this."

"That thing has so much power. It seems a shame to just get rid of it," Faye said.

"It's evil," Jake said wanting that thing gone.

"Your supposed to be on my side." Faye said giving Jake a push with her magic. Jake feel back a bit and then stood his ground.

"Don't push me like that Faye," Jake said pushing Faye back.

"This isn't right," Adam commented.

"Going for more merit badges Conant? Why don't you just butt out for once? We don't need all high and mighty in everyones business." Jake used his magic to push Adam back. Adam nearly fell over, but remained on his feet

"Guys, we shouldn't be using magic on each other. We're a circle," Diana said from her place at the door of the living room.

"That's rich coming from you," Cassie said with a laugh. "Your abandoning us. Your abandoning the circle you put together. Your abandoning me." Cassie's voice was getting louder and louder as continued to talk. "YOUR MY SISTER. THE ONLY FAMILY I HAVE LEFT AND YOUR LEAVING ME."

Diana felt anger at Cassie's word mainly because she knew it was right. She got so angry that her newly released dark magic shattered a window. "SEE! YOU THINK I WANT TO LEAVE. I NEED TO LEAVE. I NEED TO GET AWAY FROM ALL THIS. I NEED TO GET AWAY FROM DARK MAGIC."

"I DIDN'T LEAVE AND I LEARNED HOW TO USE MY DARK MAGIC!"

"YOU BARELY CONTROL IT."

Suddenly a lamp went flying across the room hitting the wall. "EVERYONE STOP FIGHTING," Melissa yelled jumping off the couch for the first time since the fighting started.

Everyone stood there looking at each other. Cassie standing in the middle of the room with the crystal skull still at her feet. Diana directly in front of her at the door. Faye and Jake stood at opposites sides of each other to Cassie's left and right. They stood a bit in front of Cassie. Behind Cassie, Adam and Melissa stood apart from each other staring at the four in front of them.

All their tempers were raised and they could almost feel the magic in the air. Everyone was ready to used their magic at a moments notice. Then suddenly the crystal skull started to light up. "What's going on?" Melissa asked and tried to move, but found she was stuck to her spot. "I can't move." Everyone else tried to move too, but they couldn't move either.

Then bright white lights appeared on the floor and started to make a symbol on the floor using the five circle members as points. Cassie was directly in the middle of whatever was happening and wanted to leave, but she was stuck to her spot just like everyone else. Suddenly the lights became too bright and no one could see anything in front of them. The group had to put their hands in front of their faces to block out the lights.

Then as suddenly as they appeared the lights disappeared. When the lights were completely gone Diana, Adam, Melissa, Faye, and Jake were left standing in the living room. In the middle of the room where Cassie had been just moments ago was just the crystal skull sitting on the floor. Cassie was gone!

"CASSIE," Diana yelled worried about her sister. She might have wanted to get away, but Diana loved Cassie like a sister even before she knew they were actually sisters. "CASSIE, WHERE ARE YOU?"

"CASSIE," Faye joined into the yelling followed by Jake, Melissa, and then finally Adam. The five of them searched every part of the house for their lost friend, but couldn't find her. Cassie had disappeared.

AN: Okay, this is the first chapter in a three shot story. This chapter is an intro, next chapter will be really long with most of the story being there, and last chapter will be a conclusion. I'm going to try and write and post the second chapter this weekend. If you need more Secret Circle right now (who doesn't need more Secret Circle) I have two other Secret Circle one shots on fanfic. One is a Cake story called "The One Who Remembered" and the other is sort of a Fayke story called "Two Years Ago." Also I am a member of The Secret Circle Project. This is a project that fans are creating our own season 2 in hopes of showing networks that if we can write an amazing season two the one the real writers will write will be even better. Our first episode is up on fanfic under flower gettin' lady pen name and our second episode will be up I believe Friday this week. Read and Review all the stories.
