"No, I couldn't escape until I had the dagger, and I couldn't get the dagger out till I changed back. So I ran outside to see if I could find papa or my brothers. There was so much blood outside too, but I didn't find anyone. I got really really scared so I ran back into the workshop and waited for them men to leave. I tried to go to sleep but every time I closed my eyes I saw momma and all the blood and them hurting papa." Cassiel started shaking as she rememberd again what she saw.

Eli took Cassiel's hand and held her tightly. This was taking a toll on him, but nothing compared to what it was doing to her. 'We have to keep going, we have to find out everything, and hopefully it helps her,' Eli thought.

Drake looked straight in her eyes, as best he could with her shaking.
"Okay, Cass...When did you decide it was safe to change back and try to get the dagger? And did your brothers even get out safe?"

Cassiel, still shaking, said, "The dagger was in the workshop and I knew they already looked in there. So I got the dagger out and put it in my bag and laid down on it for a pillow. I guess I fell asleep or something because the next thing I remember was that I was in a cart with a strange man driving it. The bag was with me, but I didn't remember anything."

"And you have no idea who that man was?"

"All I know is that he was one of the big scary ones. But he saved me, I don't know why." Cassiel was still shaking slightly and was a little pale.

Eli just kept holding Cassiel, wishing he could make it all end, make all the pain and bad memories go away, or go back and make it so nothing ever happened. But all he could do is be here for her, so that's what he was going to do.
Eli looked at Cassiel. "Cass, want to take another break? Get some more sleep?" Eli hoped she did, her shaking was a bad sign, and he didn't know how much more she could take.

Cassiel nodded, "I'm so sleepy." She rested her head in Eli's lap and right before she closed her eyes, she took his hand and fell asleep holding it.

Eli took his free hand and ran it through her hair. He was glad she was sleeping. Her shaking stopped and she seemed peaceful. He stared into space. Everything about her past had been answered. Eli felt bad for ever thinking he had it rough. She witnessed the murdering of her family. There was no way he had it nearly as bad. He continued to stare off as she slept.

About a half an hour later, Cassiel opened her eyes and sat up. She looked at Drake, slightly confused, then realized Eli was right behind her. All the memories came rushing back to her and her eyes filled with tears, "Oh Eli, it was horrible. I made this potion from the book Aslin gave me, and it showed me everything. I remember what happened that day." She moved very close to him, like she needed the physical contact.

Eli looked at Drake, then back at Cassiel. "I'm going to take her somewhere she can rest. Hopefully she's ok now. And thanks for snapping her out of this." Eli picked Cassiel up and headed out of the barn.

Drake shrugged as they walked out.
"No problem." He said under his breath.
"Just glad I remembered what to do..." He added to himself as he walked out of the barn.

"Drake, wait!" Cassiel called out.

Drake stopped suddenly and looked at Cassiel, silently waiting for her to continue.

Eli stopped, hearing Cassiel call out to Drake.
