Jake wasn’t sure what to think after Faye left him high and dry in the middle of the scorched Briar House they all used for a hangout long before they discovered who or what they are. Before it was a magic house, they used it for a party house. A lot of them had their first kiss here, which should have made things clear to Jake. None of them would have burned it down. Then again, the talisman was a top tier magic instrument and it alone was worth way more than a few childhood memories. Deciding to call Cassie, Jake left her a voicemail and then waited around in the rubble for her to stop by. Hey, I’m at the clubhouse or whatever. I don’t know if you’ve seen it already but I could really use your help figuring something out. After some time rummaging around and looking for clues, Jake heard a noise outside. Hoping it was Cassie, he brushed through the house and stepped out front.
