the only hope for me is you.

"Good for you. However, you don't get to decide these things. I do."

Lyssa's shoulders sagged in defeat. "If I didn't still want to die before..."she muttered almost too quiet to hear.

"Oh someone silencio here," Regan said glancing over her shoulder again. "Or stun her even. I really don't mind which."

And so Cassie was somehow silenced.

"Thank Merlin," Regan said.

"Where are we going...?"

"Inside," They reached the house and Regan tapped the lock with her wand.

Lyssa sighed.

and the two oof them werewv taken somewhere.

Once they were locked in wherever they were and left alone Lyssa turned to Cassie. "I..." she started. "I'm sorry..."

"it's fine," Cass said with a shake of her head, finding that she's gotten her voice back. "It's not your fault."

"Yes, it is..." Lyssa muttered.

"No it's not."

"Cass, if I hadn't....switched to that side to start with then we wouldn't be here now."

"Lyss, just, drop it, it's not your fault."

"...fine..."

Cassie sighed, running her hand through her hair. "Bloody hell," She muttered, standing up to pace around the room. "Fricken fuck, ugh."

"Let this be another instance where I say you'd be better off if I were already dead."

"Lyssa! Please, just, don't. Just. Oh god," She slumped into the wall.

"It's true. Don't bother denying it."

"Just. Please," Cassie said softly, closing her eyes.

"Okay...."

Cassie slid down the wall, burying her head in her hands

"I'll get you back to your mom, Cass."

"How are you going to do that?" Cassie asked her weakly.
