I had never seen my sister as upset as she was, and to be honest I thought she was going to kill Zia before I jumped in to pull her off the poor girl. Perhaps Zia was a wicked pain in the ass and deserved every bit of what she got but I wouldn't let Cassie be the one to pull that trigger. I wouldn't let her live with the guilt. The problem was I hadn't anticipated the way things ended, and as Cassie said she thought Inanna, the head of students, had something to do with what was wrong with Lucas. I didn't want to believe it.

I wasn't sure where we were going, but when we stepped outside into the cool afternoon air with no one around us, she let go of a sigh and turned to face us.
"Okay, now that we are away from prying ears, I think Inanna has something to do with what's wrong with Lucas." Glancing at Silas, he seemed just as skeptical as I was. He crossed his arms over his chest and opened and closed his mouth as if trying to formulate words to make sense of all of this. "Cassie, we can't jump to conclusions like that." "Yeah, Cassie," Trixie drawled as if not believing her, "Silas has a point..." Cassie groaned, rolling her eyes as she shook her head. "Look, I know it sounds crazy, but I'm telling you... something is definitely going on with that woman." "Cassie, that's just how she is," Silas replied quickly trying to make my sister see reason. He did have a point. Even when I met her in her office when I first started that was how she coff... as someone a bit odd but who cared.
Frustration grew within my sister's eyes as she looked at each of us before glancing at Sansa as if searching for at least one of us that would believe her. However, even Sansa seemed skeptical, and I wouldn't doubt her for feeling that way. Cassie was my sister, and at times I was even skeptical of how she acted.
"I can't believe you guys don't believe" I.ne "It's not that I don't," Silas quickly interjected as he stepped toward Cassie, "we just have no proof, and you can't go around throwing accusations out like it's the most obvious thing without having proof to back your claim." Proof. That was something that was going to be virtually impossible to get, and even if we did have it, who would we turn it in to? Inanna was the head of the school.
"We can get it," she said with an excited smile, "we can get proof." Tilting my head, I gave out a frustrated groan. "We can't just asspeople to be evil and go on a witch hunt for proof because you have a feeling about something, Cassie." As much as I wanted to believe in my sister, I just couldn't. I couldn't cto grips with the fact that Inanna, someone who was well-known and respected in thin et school would have something to do with changing students for her own personal gain. She was technically a celestial and specialized in education.
That didn't exactly speak highly of her being a criminal mastermind.

"Why is it you always have to be negative about everything?" she askedwith a disgusted took.
m "Can't you just jump on board the ship again?" "Cassie, you know what I mean."
The more and more she stared atwith a determination in her eyes I had seen so many times growing up, 1 knewdamn well she wasn't going to let this go. If we didn't help her, then she would be fine. She would continue with the pursuit of her idea.
"It's okay, Pollux. You don't have to come." She sighed, shoulders sagging as she turned and walked e through the courtyard toward our building. She was on a mission for sure, and I was curious to find out what she had planned.
