Chloe and her sisters had been upstairs in the attic all night studying the book of shadows for a clue as to what to do. When suddenly, just before daybreak, Chloe felt his presence again and told the girls,<strong>"He is back, Sha'kos is back. That bastard he has come to gloat."</strong><br/><br/>Then she heard something at the front door, she looked at her sisters and walked slowly down the stairs and to the door. Chloe heard moans and opened the door slowly, she gasped with what she found. It was Cassie, or what was left of her. She screamed for her sisters to come and help her.<br/><br/>Chloe removed the gag from Cassie's mouth and just kept telling her how sorry she was that this had happened to her. Cassie just said, "<em>He intends to kill you all, he has a human form.....cough cough....he is Al....."</em>She began coughing up blood and Chloe told her, "<strong>Don't try to talk Cassie. We are gonna get you down from there."</strong><br/><br/>As she examined the means used to nail Cassie to the door. Chloe knew there was no way they could save her once the nails were removed, Cassie heart would stop and without a white lighter she would die. She looked at her sisters and then back at Cassie with tears in her eyes she said, "<strong>I am so sorry Cassie, I wish there was something we could do."</strong><br/><br/>Cassie took a deep breath and gave Chloe a slight smile and said, "<em>Kill the bastard."</em>She took another deep breath and said, "<em>Just do it Chloe, I can't take the pain anymore, please just do it."</em><br/><br/>Chloe understood what she meant, Cassie knew she would die and in effect she was asking Chloe to put her out of her misery.<br/><br/>Chloe took a deep breath and waved her hand toward Cassie and the nails disappeared and she fell to the ground. Cassie stopped breathing and her heart stopped beating the instant the nails were removed.<br/><br/>The sisters collected her body and went inside with her. Chloe was crying again, her hair was beginning to turn a fiery red, and looking angrily at her sisters she said, "<strong>Now I am really pissed off, Sha'kos has gone to far this time. I vow to not rest until he is vanquished. Painfully."</strong><br/><br/>Her hair had never changed color before and her sisters just stood looking at her.
