Darkness

Along with TVD, The Secret Circle has also bid a fond farewell until Thursday, January 5th. But I want to talk about the preview for that Thursday, the preview for Darkness. Up until now, Cassie has never really utilized her potential. It's been a slow building process. First she set the witch hunter on fire and then she was able to find Faye's grandfather. With the clips The CW provided us with for January, it's clear that Cassie begins to snap. The dark magic begins to take over. Her personality changes and she most definitely will become a threat.

I'm curious though, to find out what suddenly triggered the magic. Is it something that just happens at a random point in your life? Does the magic just start coming out? Ever since the beginning, Cassie has been more powerful than the rest of the circle. But why? Balcoin is the answer to the mystery, but what did he do to achieve such power? Who did he have to hurt or what did he promise and to who? The plot thickens and shadows get blacker and Cassie will have a harder time than ever trying to pull herself back. If she even wants to.

More over, how will the circle react? Because Cassie is not bound by the circle because of her individual power, I wonder if the rest of the circle can do magic on their own now? They'll have no choice if they want to restore Cassie to herself. But what will Cassie want? Will she want to go back to being bound or will she want to be who she was "destined" to be? Will she follow her "destiny" to be with Adam (not that she believes it) or will she revoke it and become a true descendant of Balcoin?
