Chase had figured out that you had discovered him out and knew that, he was a witch blending in with the student's at Spenser's academy and that you've figured out his plan was to kill Caleb's friend's and steal their power as they were as well witches like chase but just more weaker since chase ascended and Caleb hasn't, so to make sure nothing would mess up his plan, he makes an hangout plan with you and as you guy's were driving chase pumped on the gas
Chase used his magic to teleport out of the car and let it crash with you in it and used his magic to clean all trace of him in the car, hoping it had killed you, the next day he was called to headmaster office to talk about your death asking him if he knew you and if you were close to him, which of course chase had pretended and acted as if he didn't, he gives him his student card which was found in the backseat of the car, and he knew it wasn't a good sign since now if he was gonna continue the main goal he'd have to be more smarter, as he was excused out of the headmaster's office at his locker he see's..you, which his eye's widen as this was his first failed attempt at killing one of his victim's, and he knew he wasn't hallucinating as people were saying hi to you asking you if he you were okay, which only made his blood boil he knew he killed you that night, so he slammed his locker loud and planned on confronting you at your dorm at night while everyone was asleep
