jade heads to Ashley's house and surprizing things happen.
Jade leaned against Jaybriel. "Anything he does is always quick so I can't stop him.And I wasn't going to tell you because I knew you'd throw it out of proportion,"said Jade.Jaybriel snorted. "You're going to my place.If I have to knock you unconscious I will.I'm not fighting you today," he said.Jade opened her mouth to speak,but Jaybriel cut off. "You're going and it's not up for discussion," he said.Angry Jade said," I'm not your property.You can't decide what I do or don't do.And if you don't like it leave.You're not binded to me,".Jaybriel stood. "You're right,I'm not.Remember also there's nothing keepimg me from killing you," he said. "Do it," said Jade,meeting Jaybriel's gaze defiantly.Jaybriel raised his hand as if he was going to strike her,but Ashley appeared in the doorway."I'll talk to her while she's eating.And she'll stay with me," she said.Jaybriel's jaw clenched as he tried to control his anger. "Fine.But seeing as your house is on sacred ground I can't go there,so let's see the little witch save her own ass next time,"Jaybriel said angrily before he left.

Ashley comforted Jade as much as she could while Jade ate. "Stop picking at your food.You need the strength," said Ashley gently.Jade shook her head. "How can can I eat it knowing Jaybriel cooked it to make me feel better and I repayed him with an insult?Jaybriel doesn't go near a stove and then I mess it up by mentioning Raven," she said, pushing her eggs around the plate.Ashley rolled her eyes. "You can feel guilty later.Right now you need to worry about why this demon is after you," she said.Jade nodded and started eating. "But what if he takes this as a sign of me not appreciating him and attackes your house? I did accidently deal a big blow to his pride after all," said Jade around a mouthful of pancakes and eggs. "My house is on sacred ground.No demon has ever been able to get near it," said Ashley.Jade laughed dryly. "Sacred ground didn't stop him the first time we met and I'm sure it won't stop him this time,"She said.Ashley waved her hand dismissively. "Anyway,we need to hurry back to the library.While I was possessed I learned alittle of her plans and believe me she doesn't plan on stopping until your ashes are scattered," she said. "I'll eat while we're heading there," said Jade picking up the plate.She chugged down the orange juice,and then they left.

They spent the next five and a half hours trying to find the demon Ashley had seen in her head.Finally,with a grunt of frustration,Jade sat down at the crowded desk.Books,large and small, lay open before her.She had read myths,personal diaries of dead witches,even notes taken by Ashley herself.Jade had only been a witch for twelve years,since she was eleven,so she didn't have enough of her own to go by.She ran her fingers through her black hair.Suddenly an idea hit her. "I'll ask mom," she thought standing up.Jade made her way to Ashley's small apartment,which adjoined the library. "Ashley,I'm going to talk to mom.Can I use your attic?" yelled Jade.Ashley walked into the hallway and fixed Jade with a puzzled look."She might not remember anything," said Ashley.Jade Shrugged. "That's always a possibility.But I might be able to jog something," she said.Ashley nodded. "You may use my attic,but hurry.Something's coming," she said.

Using white chalk Jade drew a pentagram,then placed a candle on the five points.Walking over to Amy's pedestal Jade flipped through her Book of Shadows for a summonig spell.Jade took a deep breath and then said, "Marie Constance Jones,I call you to me.To do as I bid till your time passes again,". Jade repeated this until an almost transparent figure began to appear.She said it once more,louder,and watched as her mother's ghost appeared before her.Marie stared at her with that same childish grin Jade knew from her childhood and her honey skin shone with an ethereal light.Marie smiled back and said,"Hello,". "Why have you called me?"asked Marie.jade composed herself,then said,"I've been targeted and I need your help,".
