Chapter 11 by Nippy Nippy

Does Cassandra go to the Warehouse?

Yes, In Her Civilian Clothes

Cassandra waits until the appropriate time and heads to the warehouse. As she arrives, she sees a metal door with a crescent moon painted on it. She goes to the door and knocks, a few seconds later a slot opens and eyes peer through. Cassandra shows the necklace and the door opens.

"Welcome Ms. Clarke," The doorman greets her, "Please head downstairs, the others are eager to meet you." Cassandra follows the instructions and heads downstairs, which is whee she sees a group of four women sitting at a table that looks like a large tree trunk. "Uh, hi." She says, waving awkwardly.

One of the women gets up walk walks over to greet Cassandra, "It is nice to finally meet you, my name is Meredith." She holds out her hand. Cassandra cautiously shakes the woman's hand, "You guys aren't gonna try to kill me or something, right?"

Meredith laughs, "Of course not, we brought you here so we could save you." She guides Cassandra to a seat at the table. "Save me? From what?" Cassandra asks. Meredith opens a large withered book and shows her a page displaying a drawing of what looks to be a demon with a crown of horns, "It is called Pridavarus."

Cassandra looks at Meredith, "Is this what's been trying to kill me?" Meredith shakes her head, "It isn't trying to kill you, it's testing you. It wants to see if you're worthy." Cassandra looks confused, "Worthy of what?" Meredith looks her dead in the eyes, a grim look on her face, "Dominion."

"It wants to control me?!" Cassandra says, shocked. "Not just control you, it would be you. All your dark thoughts and wicked desires will overwhelm you. And with your powers you would be practically unstoppable," Meredith puts her hand on Cassandra's, "That's why we brought you here. We must purify your soul."

Cassandra raises an eyebrow, "Purify my soul? What does that involve exactly?" Meredith points at the table, "This is what's left of the tree of life. You will lay here, unconcealed, as we cleanse you with the tree's remaining sap. You will then be protected from the demon's forceful ways."

Cassandra nods, "Okay let's do it."

What's next?
