I'm on Oak.
Are you ok? Did you call AAA? I know how to change a tire, Mom.

- Oh, good idea.
Take your car.
Oh, wait-- it has a flat.
Then I will walk or catch a cab.
Like you know how to change a tire.
I got it.
Well, then, I'll stand there and watch you do it, smarty-pants.
Seriously, I got it.

Hey, Grandma.
I should never have let you drive by yourself.
Well, it's not like I gave you a choice.
How are you? I'm good.
I am really glad you're here.
Come on.
So this is where my mom grew up.
Come on.
I'll show you your room.
d I'll go my own way d We can move everything out.
Should have by now.
It's only been 16 years.
There so much about her I didn't know.
How come she never came home? What did she tell you? Not much, just the headlines.
You'd just been born when your dad had his accident.
It was hard for her here.
I think she wanted to start over.
Yeah.
That's pretty much what she said.
I'll let you get settled.
Dinner will be ready soon.
Your mom used to hum that.
All the time.
I stole it from her.
You ready for school tomorrow? Is anyone ever? If you have trouble sleeping, your mom used to count the stars.
Sleep well.
We're happy to have you, Cassie.
I'm Principal Chamberlain.
I knew your mother.
I guess she didn't talk about me much.
Well, she never really talked about her life here.
Your mother was very special to me.
Listen, if there's anything that I can do to help you transition here, you let me know, ok? Hey.
Have you seen her yet? She got in yesterday.
And? She got in yesterday.
So, you're the new girl.
Uh, yeah.
That's me.
You're very pretty.
Try it again.
That's Faye, resident bad girl.
Mmm.
She's convincing.
Hi, I'm Diana.
I'm Cassie.
Cassie Blake.
I know your grandmother.
It's a really small town.
I got to run, but everybody hangs out at the boathouse after school.
It's right on the waterfront.
You can't miss it.
So stop by, and I'll show you around.
d Here we are d d bending feet d d in the dark d d we fall dreamlessly d d clothes that spark, that shiver, that d You're Amelia's girl.
- Excuse me? - You got to be.
I see it.
Cassie.
I heard about your mother's accident.
I'm sorry.
You knew my mom? You bet I did.
I loved your mother.
Very much.
And how did my father feel about that? He didn't like it But I was no threat.
Your mother chose him.
Still It was written.
What is written? Our families are written in the stars.
We're destined.
It's always been that way.
Dad.
What are you doing? No drinking before dinner.
Deal's a deal.
Hi.
I'm sorry.
This is Cassie, Amelia's girl.
She's beautiful, isn't she? I'm Adam.
Cassie so, uh - This is your dad's place? - Yeah.
You can take a seat wherever.
I'll bring you a menu.
Ok.
Yeah.
Here you go.
You know, I saw you at school today.
Ah.
How was your first day? It's not over yet.
I'll get back to you.
All right.
I'll be back in a minute.
Adam's a hottie.
You should make a play.
You're totally his type.
- Stop it, Faye.
- What? It's true.
I'm Melissa.
Nice to meet you.
And I'm Faye Chambelin.
Yeah.
We met, sort of.
Now it's official.
Hey.
Sorry to hear about your mom.
Thanks.
And your father? Where's he? Well, he died just after I was born.
My father's dad dead, too.
I still have my mother, though.
You probably met her.
She's the principal.
Do not let her smile fool you.
She can be bitchy.
Adam's cute, don't you think? And he really does go for the sad, delicate types.
You know, I'm not feeling all that delicate right now, so, I think I'm gonna go.
U two have fun.
I don't think she knows.
Do you? I think she needs a nudge.
Aah! No! Come on, Cassie.
Put it out.
No! Help! Let me-- Put it out.
Help! Put it out.
Let me out! Let me out! Aah! Adam! Come on.
Come here.
Are you all right? I just don't understand what happened.
Your car caught on fire.
Thanks for saving me.
Hey, are you ok? What happened? Hey.
I think her engine blew.
No way.
That was something else.
You saw it.
It went up in flames.
I'm gonna call my grandmother.
- Uh-- - Uh, no, no.
You shouldn't do that.
Adam, why don't you take Cassie home - No.
- Oh, no, it's ok.
This is my boyfriend, by the way.
He's cool.
It's really not a problem.
I'll take you.
I'll call you later.
d Pages turnin', lights are burnin' d Maybe it was ready to go kaput.
I did just drive it a thousand miles.
Yeah.
I'm sure that's it.
But the doors wouldn't open.
Maybe you-- maybe you panicked, and you locked them when you meant to unlock them.
No, the lock's pretty straightforward.
It only does two things.
And how did the fire go out? By itself.
If you say so.
d To somewhere we've never been d d we won't run d So how was your first day? d All that keeps us up at night d d To go now d d let's not waste a minute more d So, how long have you and Diana been together? She seems really nice.
Very nice.
d I always thought you knew yourself d Hey, um I heard what my dad told you about him and your mom and those stars.
Um He's got a lot of crazy ideas, and then, he gets to drinking, and-- He's sweet.
And then, from where I sit, it's a good thing.
Thanks for the ride.
d There is far to go now d d let's not waste a minute more d d of our lives d d our lives d d our lives d Hi, Diana.
Hi, Ms.
Chamberlain.
Is Faye home? I'm right here.
Got it, Mom.
Thanks.
What did you do to Cassie's car? Why do you assume I was the one that did it? Did you? It was stupid and reckless.
You risked exposure.
I was testing her.
We all wanted to know, Diana.
I cut to the chase.
You could have hurt Cassie.
I didn't mean for the whole car to go up in flames.
That was her.
Her energy connected with mine.
Everything you said about the circle is true.
With her here, we have real power now.
Which is why we need to be careful.
We can't control it.
Then we should tell her.
No.
She needs time.
She just lost her mother.
Look, we all agreed to take it slow.
No, you said to take it slow, and we all nodded.
I never agreed to anything.
We are doing this my way, Faye.
Yeah.
That ship has sailed.
Do not push me, Faye.
I mean it.
Mmm.
Do you want to try that again? 'Cause I didn't quite buy it.
Did you? Good night, Diana.
Grandma? - Ooh.
Sorry.
My bad.
- No.
That was my fault.
Are you Cassie Blake? Yes.
I was a good friend of your mother's.
I'm Charles.
I'm so very, very sorry to hear about her accident.
Thank you.
Cassie! Hey.
I see you met my dad.
Oh.
Hi.
Well, it was very nice to meet you, Cassie.
You girls have fun.
See you at home.
How are you doing after yesterday? Not great, actually.
Anything I can do? Have you seen my grandmother? Um, no.
Something wrong? I have no idea.
Try me.
Do you know how my car caught on fire? I'm sure a mechanic could tell you.
Forget it.
It's just number one on my list of crazy.
What do you mean? This town is a friggin' side show.
I mean--look.
Never mind.
It's not your problem.
I just-- I need to find my grandmother.
Cassie, wait.
I think maybe I can help.
Hello, Dawn.
Hi, Jane.
How are yo? How's Cassie, by the way? She's a lovely girl.
Actually, I wanted to talk to you about her.
I don't know if you heard.
Cassie's car caught fire last night.
Actually, I oh, my God.
Is she ok? She's fine.
It's what caused the fire that concerns me.
I seem to recall a similar thing happening years ago-- kids fooling around We both know how that ended.
Are the children practicing? Oh, they can't be.
I mean, they don't know anything.
They're teenagers.
You better than anyone should know how resourceful they can be.
I would never have allowed Cassie here-- Look, I'm around these kids every day.
If they were practicing, I would know.
We can't let it happen again.
Look, if I see or hear anything, I will let you know.
Promise.
Where are we going? You'll see.
It's ok, Cassie.
What is this place? Come on.
Finally.
Hey neighbor.
I'm Nick, also known as the guy in the window.
Hi.
Ok.
What are all of you doing here? What's going on? We want to explain.
I didn't want to tell you like this, but I didn't have a choice-- She has a right to know.
Know what? Who you are.
Ok.
This is getting really weird.
I-- Hey, you don't have to be scared.
Somebody tell me what's going on.
Look, Cassie, I know this is going to sound crazy, ok, but that fire yesterday I don't know how to say this.
Um We're different.
You're different.
Oh, for God's sake, spit it out.
You're a witch.
You're a full-blooded, We all are.
There.
Done.
- This is beyond crazy.
- The truth works that way.
Cassie, I know how this sounds.
The truth is, our ancestry is part of a legacy that dates as far back as 1692.
You guys are saying I'm a witch.
Like your mother and her mother.
It's all in here, Cassie.
Each family has a book like this one, a journal that lays down each family line.
I found mine-- Which explains her air of superiority.
The book contains thousands of spells.
We've been practicing, but without a full circle, we can only do really lame ones.
Like open locked doors.
Or curtains.
Or set cars on fire.
I'm sorry about that.
- I got a little out of hand.
- Complete circle is 6-- one from each of the 6 families.
You're the sixth.
You complete the circle.
- Now we're whole.
- We have more power now.
But there's a ritual that will bind us so we can control our power.
You are seriously messed up.
Get out of my way.
Don't pretend you don't believe us.
Deep down, you know it's true.
What's true is how crazy you are.
Hey, take it easy.
She can't just waltz out of here.
She'll run to her grandmother.
No one can know about us, not even our families.
We have to stay secret.
Fine.
Great.
I knew it.
Nicely done, Diana.
Cassie! Cassie, wait.
It's not as crazy as it seems.
Yes, it is.
This is insane.
All of you are insane.
Our parents had a circle just like ours.
Oh, my God.
Can you hear yourself? My mother was not a witch.
I would have known.
No, 'cause it was all covered up, 'cause something went wrong.
People were hurt.
They were killed.
So they abolished witchcraft.
I don't believe you.
You're not the only one who's lost a parent, Cassie.
We all have.
There's no such thing as witches and magic.
I don't believe it.
I can't.
Let me show you.
Here.
It's ok.
Trust me.
Close your eyes.
Ok.
Now, concentrate on how your hand is connecting with the leaf, then how the leaf is connecting with the water, and say, "A drop of water, as light as air," and keep repeating it.
A drop of water, as light as air.
A drop of water, as light as air.
A drop of water, as light as air.
I don't feel anything.
Feel that? That tingling when my hand is touching yours? That's your energy connecting with mine.
Now, try again.
A drop of water As light as air.
A drop of water, as light as air.
A drop of water, as light as air Are you doing this? We are.
This has never happened before.
You did magic with her? I thought if she knew what she was capable of, she wouldn't be as afraid of it.
You made water float? How romantic.
And then, you let her just run away.
I lost control.
Sounds like it.
No, I lost control of the magic.
With Cassie here, our power is magnified a hundred times over.
Which is why we need to perform the ritual.
Yeah, and the sooner, the better, before she blabs to her grandmother and anyone else that would listen.
She's not going to tell anybody.
Oh, and he would know.
They made magic together.
All right, I'll swing by her grandmother's.
You guys have fun.
- I certainly will.
- Where are you going? We have to find Cassie.
I'm not interested in your little ritual.
We have real power now.
The last thing I want to do is control it.
And I'm not going to.
This is exactly what I was afraid of.
You know what she's like.
Let's just find Cassie.
d you're in luck d d waitin' for the show to begin d d I' waitin' for the stars to cave in d d my first test as th king d Excuse me.
I need to talk to you.
Hello, Amelia's girl.
Why did my mom leave here? You said you loved her.
What happened? Your father happened.
Tell me about him.
Do you know that our families are aligned in the stars? Me and Amelia were meant for each other.
Yeah, you keep saying that, but I don't understand.
What does that mean? It's the same for you and Adam.
You don't want to mess with fate.
Bad things happen when you mess with fate.
What bad things? Tell me.
Why do you want to hurt more than you already do? Please.
Your father was a bad man.
Hello, Ethan.
Is he bothering you? We're just talkin, Charlie.
It looks like you've had a little too much to drink.
Oh, I'm fine.
Why don't we call it a night? Ok, look.
We were just talking.
What's going on? Your dad's in a bad way again.
Dad.
Hey.
We're gonna go home now, ok? Cassie, wait! d And oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh d d oh, oh, oh, oh, oh d d my fire burned them out d d but we d d will not be moved by it d d we d d will not be moved by it d Skies above give me a sign.
Cassie.
There you are.
No.
I can't deal with any more of this now.
I know you're scared.
I know it's a lot to accept.
Please.
What happened to our parents, and why won't anyone tell me anything? There was an accident The people who died were all members of the last circle, our parents.
My father, too? Only I don't think it was an accident.
I think something went wrong, and the ones who survived are trying to keep it from us.
Look, I believe we can do great things with our power.
It doesn't have to be bad, but we have to control it.
My mom ran from this life.
She didn't want this for me.
If she did, she would have told .
Why didn't she tell me? I don't know, Cassie.
Please, sky, rain down on me.
More! What is she doing? Faye! What are you doing? It's beautiful! You can't make it rain just 'cause you want to! Yes, we can! We can do anything we want! No, Faye! Make it stop! Diana! Are you ok? You have to stop it! Ok, I will! Stop this storm.
Stop this storm! Do it! I can't! I-- Stop it! Stop this storm! Make it stop.
Make it stop.
Make it stop.
You did it.
You're one of us.
You stopped it, Cassie.
I don't want any part of this.
What happened to you? I--I just got caught in the rain.
Is everything all right? Yeah.
I just-- I want to get out of these clothes.
We're closed.
We have a problem, Ethan.
What? You drink too much, which makes you talk too much, and I can't have that.
What the hell are you doing here? What would happen if you slipped and fell off that dock outside? You'd drown.
No one would find your body for days.
And do you know what drowning is like? That feeling of not being able to breathe? Gasping for air? Panicked as your lungs fill up with water? It's a horrible death.
This is my one and final warning.
Cassie? You have a visitor.
A very late visitor.
I'll be in the kitchen.
Right through there.
Diana told me what happened.
Are they ok? Um, Faye's a little shaken, and Diana's worried.
Faye has always been a bit unpredictable.
You never know what she's going to do next.
Is that why you came here, to convince me to join your secret cult? No.
I just wanted to apologize.
I'm sorry about earlier.
Which part? In the woods.
I--I know.
It should never have happened.
I don't know how it happened.
I love Diana, you know.
Yeah, I get it.
Can't happen again.
It can't.
- Well, I should go.
- Yeah.
You are one of us, Cassie.
I can't tell you what to do, but just know You're not alone.
Ahem.
You and your tricks.
They come in handy.
Mmm.
Ethan? - We spoke.
- Good.
We did the right thing bringing her here.
She's got the gift.
She is her father's daughter.
Unfortunately, she's her mother's daughter, too.
Are you sure you can get Cassie to do what we need? I don't have to get her to do a thing.
The circle will take care of that without even knowing it.
You finding this means I'm gone, and for that, I am so sorry.
I didn't want you to have this life.
But destiny's not easy to run from.
I hoped that keeping this secret would keep you safe, but all I've done is left you unprotected.
You have incredible power inside you.
People will come for it.
They will come for you.
But destiny's not easy to run from.
Hey, come on! Really? [Chi Hey! Hey! Hey, can I get a-- Hello? I got a flat.
Where are you? Close.

How are yo? How's Cassie, by the way? She's a lovely girl.
Actually, I wanted to talk to you about her.
I don't know if you heard.
Cassie's car caught fire last night.
Actually, I oh, my God.
Is she ok? She's fine.
It's what caused the fire that concerns me.
I seem to recall a similar thing happening years ago-- kids fooling around We both know how that ended.
Are the children practicing? Oh, they can't be.
I mean, they don't know anything.
They're teenagers.
You better than anyone should know how resourceful they can be.
I would never have allowed Cassie here-- Look, I'm around these kids every day.
If they were practicing, I would know.
We can't let it happen again.
Look, if I see or hear anything, I will let you know.
Promise.
Where are we going? You'll see.
It's ok, Cassie.
What is this place? Come on.
Finally.
Hey neighbor.
I'm Nick, also known as the guy in the window.
Hi.
Ok.
What are all of you doing here? What's going on? We want to explain.
I didn't want to tell you like this, but I didn't have a choice-- She has a right to know.
Know what? Who you are.
Ok.
This is getting really weird.
I-- Hey, you don't have to be scared.
Somebody tell me what's going on.
Look, Cassie, I know this is going to sound crazy, ok, but that fire yesterday I don't know how to say this.
Um We're different.
You're different.
Oh, for God's sake, spit it out.
You're a witch.
You're a full-blooded, We all are.
There.
Done.
- This is beyond crazy.
- The truth works that way.
Cassie, I know how this sounds.
The truth is, our ancestry is part of a legacy that dates as far back as 1692.
You guys are saying I'm a witch.
Like your mother and her mother.
It's all in here, Cassie.
Each family has a book like this one, a journal that lays down each family line.
I found mine-- Which explains her air of superiority.
The book contains thousands of spells.
We've been practicing, but without a full circle, we can only do really lame ones.
Like open locked doors.
Or curtains.
Or set cars on fire.
I'm sorry about that.
- I got a little out of hand.
- Complete circle is 6-- one from each of the 6 families.
You're the sixth.
You complete the circle.
- Now we're whole.
- We have more power now.
But there's a ritual that will bind us so we can control our power.
You are seriously messed up.
Get out of my way.
Don't pretend you don't believe us.
Deep down, you know it's true.
What's true is how crazy you are.
Hey, take it easy.
She can't just waltz out of here.
She'll run to her grandmother.
No one can know about us, not even our families.
We have to stay secret.
Fine.
Great.
I knew it.
Nicely done, Diana.
Cassie! Cassie, wait.
It's not as crazy as it seems.
Yes, it is.
This is insane.
All of you are insane.
Our parents had a circle just like ours.
Oh, my God.
Can you hear yourself? My mother was not a witch.
I would have known.
No, 'cause it was all covered up, 'cause something went wrong.
People were hurt.
They were killed.
So they abolished witchcraft.
I don't believe you.
You're not the only one who's lost a parent, Cassie.
We all have.
There's no such thing as witches and magic.
I don't believe it.
I can't.
Let me show you.
Here.
It's ok.
Trust me.
Close your eyes.
Ok.
Now, concentrate on how your hand is connecting with the leaf, then how the leaf is connecting with the water, and say, "A drop of water, as light as air," and keep repeating it.
A drop of water, as light as air.
A drop of water, as light as air.
A drop of water, as light as air.
I don't feel anything.
Feel that? That tingling when my hand is touching yours? That's your energy connecting with mine.
Now, try again.
A drop of water As light as air.
A drop of water, as light as air.
A drop of water, as light as air Are you doing this? We are.
This has never happened before.
You did magic with her? I thought if she knew what she was capable of, she wouldn't be as afraid of it.
You made water float? How romantic.
And then, you let her just run away.
I lost control.
Sounds like it.
No, I lost control of the magic.
With Cassie here, our power is magnified a hundred times over.
Which is why we need to perform the ritual.
Yeah, and the sooner, the better, before she blabs to her grandmother and anyone else that would listen.
She's not going to tell anybody.
Oh, and he would know.
They made magic together.
All right, I'll swing by her grandmother's.
You guys have fun.
- I certainly will.
- Where are you going? We have to find Cassie.
I'm not interested in your little ritual.
We have real power now.
The last thing I want to do is control it.
And I'm not going to.
This is exactly what I was afraid of.
You know what she's like.
Let's just find Cassie.
d you're in luck d d waitin' for the show to begin d d I' waitin' for the stars to cave in d d my first test as th king d Excuse me.
I need to talk to you.
Hello, Amelia's girl.
Why did my mom leave here? You said you loved her.
What happened? Your father happened.
Tell me about him.
Do you know that our families are aligned in the stars? Me and Amelia were meant for each other.
Yeah, you keep saying that, but I don't understand.
What does that mean? It's the same for you and Adam.
You don't want to mess with fate.
Bad things happen when you mess with fate.
What bad things? Tell me.
Why do you want to hurt more than you already do? Please.
Your father was a bad man.
Hello, Ethan.
Is he bothering you? We're just talkin, Charlie.
It looks like you've had a little too much to drink.
Oh, I'm fine.
Why don't we call it a night? Ok, look.
We were just talking.
What's going on? Your dad's in a bad way again.
Dad.
Hey.
We're gonna go home now, ok? Cassie, wait! d And oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh d d oh, oh, oh, oh, oh d d my fire burned them out d d but we d d will not be moved by it d d we d d will not be moved by it d Skies above give me a sign.
Cassie.
There you are.
No.
I can't deal with any more of this now.
I know you're scared.
I know it's a lot to accept.
Please.
What happened to our parents, and why won't anyone tell me anything? There was an accident The people who died were all members of the last circle, our parents.
My father, too? Only I don't think it was an accident.
I think something went wrong, and the ones who survived are trying to keep it from us.
Look, I believe we can do great things with our power.
It doesn't have to be bad, but we have to control it.
My mom ran from this life.
She didn't want this for me.
If she did, she would have told .
Why didn't she tell me? I don't know, Cassie.
Please, sky, rain down on me.
More! What is she doing? Faye! What are you doing? It's beautiful! You can't make it rain just 'cause you want to! Yes, we can! We can do anything we want! No, Faye! Make it stop! Diana! Are you ok? You have to stop it! Ok, I will! Stop this storm.
Stop this storm! Do it! I can't! I-- Stop it! Stop this storm! Make it stop.
Make it stop.
Make it stop.
You did it.
You're one of us.
You stopped it, Cassie.
I don't want any part of this.
What happened to you? I--I just got caught in the rain.
Is everything all right? Yeah.
I just-- I want to get out of these clothes.
We're closed.
We have a problem, Ethan.
What? You drink too much, which makes you talk too much, and I can't have that.
What the hell are you doing here? What would happen if you slipped and fell off that dock outside? You'd drown.
No one would find your body for days.
And do you know what drowning is like? That feeling of not being able to breathe? Gasping for air? Panicked as your lungs fill up with water? It's a horrible death.
This is my one and final warning.
Cassie? You have a visitor.
A very late visitor.
I'll be in the kitchen.
Right through there.
Diana told me what happened.
Are they ok? Um, Faye's a little shaken, and Diana's worried.
Faye has always been a bit unpredictable.
You never know what she's going to do next.
Is that why you came here, to convince me to join your secret cult? No.
I just wanted to apologize.
I'm sorry about earlier.
Which part? In the woods.
I--I know.
It should never have happened.
I don't know how it happened.
I love Diana, you know.
Yeah, I get it.
Can't happen again.
It can't.
- Well, I should go.
- Yeah.
You are one of us, Cassie.
I can't tell you what to do, but just know You're not alone.
Ahem.
You and your tricks.
They come in handy.
Mmm.
Ethan? - We spoke.
- Good.
We did the right thing bringing her here.
She's got the gift.
She is her father's daughter.
Unfortunately, she's her mother's daughter, too.
Are you sure you can get Cassie to do what we need? I don't have to get her to do a thing.
The circle will take care of that without even knowing it.
You finding this means I'm gone, and for that, I am so sorry.
I didn't want you to have this life.
But destiny's not easy to run from.
I hoped that keeping this secret would keep you safe, but all I've done is left you unprotected.
You have incredible power inside you.
People will come for it.
They will come for you.
