Chapter 19: A Place of Knowledge
Terakhir Diperbarui:
2020-10-17 17:00:04I got home and went to have a shower. After I got dressed, I checked my phone, just in case Cassie had texted me. Unfortunately, there were no new messages on my phone. I thought back to yesterday, Cassie had left the window open for me, so surely she couldn’t be too angry with me.
In an attempt to distract myself from thinking about Cassie, I decided to help Leah. Cassie had told me she trusted Leah, so it couldn’t hurt, and it may help to make up for the trouble I caused between them.
I went to get my laptop and tried to search for who Leah’s parents were before she had become an orphan. At least one of Leah’s parents had to have been a witch, as magic was passed down from generation to generation. But I didn’t get very far.
The problem with supernatural beings was that they mainly kept to themselves and tried

Forgotten memories Chapter 20: Coming Clean
I teleported to Cassie’s neighbourhood. After what Freya had said, I worried about using my abilities too close to the house. As I walked towards Cassie’s house, I conjured up a rose. It probably wasn’t enough to get her to forgive me, but maybe it would put a smile on her face. Cassie opened the door, her gaze wandering past me. I gave her a big smile. “I’m sorry about yesterday.” I handed her the rose. She gave it a glance before accepting it. Leah’s voice echoed from inside the house. “Hi Jax, where did you disappear the other day? You left a bit abruptly.” I was trying to locate where the voice came from. Maybe I should have brought the book, I could easily conjure it up, but again I didn’t want to

The vibration from my bed night stand woke me up. I rolled over and grabbed my phone. It was already past noon. How had I slept for this long? I opened the text from Cassie. It said she was fine, but needed to talk to me. I ran a hand through my hair. Why had I gone home instead of watching over her? What if something bad had happened? A restless feeling settled over me and I jumped out of the bed. The need to see Cassie emplified. I turned into a crow and flew over to Cassie’s house. She wasn’t home. Should I wait for her? After all she had told me that she was fine. Unsure what to do, I took to the sky, scanning the area for anything that may be out of place. Finding nothing out of the ordinary, I widened my search. It was late in the afternoon when I spotted Leah’s

I landed in the tree just as Leah’s car pulled up on the driveway. Cassie didn’t look up when she got out of the car, but I hadn't expected her to, as I had only just said goodbye to them before they left my house. The window to her room opened a few moments later and Cassie looked out from it and waved at me before closing it again. Why hadn’t she left the window open for me? Was she fed up that I was always following her around? I took a deep breath, maybe it had something to do with the house or Abigail? I rubbed my beak against the branch, wishing she could open up to me and tell me how she felt about everything that was going on. I thought about everything that had happened and what Cassie had told me about her and Leah’s day yesterday, when chills went down my spine. Something was wrong. My chest tightened and it beca

I’d been asleep on the blanket by the window when Cassie's cheerful good morning greeting woke me up. It warmed my heart that she seemed to have recovered from the previous day. Not long after she had gone downstairs, the front door opened. I watched as Leah and Cassie got in the car. Where were they going? It was too early for them to be going to school. I started to follow, but had second thoughts. Leah would be able to handle herself and Cassie, besides I'd see them in school soon enough. I changed my course and flew home. I’d ask Cassie about the trip later. I checked my phone after I arrived at my house. Cassie had sent me a text, telling me that she wouldn't be in school today and if I could meet her in a clearing in the woods in a couple of hours.

I spent some time trying to find the right outfit. I wanted to look a bit dressed up but at the same time I didn't want it to look like I was trying too hard. When I was finally happy with what I was wearing. I looked at myself in the mirror and took a deep breath. It was really happening. I picked up my car keys and fidgeted with them as I made my way down to the garage to get my car and drive over to Cassie's house. I had booked us a table at a restaurant by a river. It looked nice and cosy with an outdoor terrace overlooking the scenery. My first thought was to go somewhere very fancy, mainly to show off, but I had realised that it wasn't Cassie's style, and she would likely appreciate this place better. I checked that I had the rose I'd bought for Cassie when I neared the house. I had been taught never to arrive empty handed when you take someone ou

I perched on the blanket by the window and listened to Cassie’s slow steady breaths. It had been a perfect evening. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes, only to open them again. I moved around on the blanket. Ws Cassie really an empath? How did Leah have an affinity for all four elements? Who were her parents? Why hadn’t Nick texted back yet? Unable to relax, I took a trip around the neighbourhood to clear my mind. I threw out my energy without a second thought. It had become a habit. I picked up on the strange energy that surrounded the house without problem. How was this possible? I week ago I didn’t even know it existed. Maybe Freya would know? I didn't like to depend on her, but this was beyond me. I needed to talk to her about the energy and if she knew anything about Leah. I hadn't been able to figure out how Leah had acquired an affinity for all th

We continued training until Leah turned up. We went out to the driveway to greet her. Leah got out of the car, and skipped over to us with a smile. Magic energy radiated from her, a stark contrast from the neutral energy that normally surrounded her due to the enchantment on the house. "How's the magic coming along?" I asked. "Great." Leah’s smile became wider. She gave Cassie a hug. "I have something to show you that I managed to do today, it's really cool.” She glanced around the house. “ Do you have a garden?" “Of course. Follow me.” I walked around the house, with Leah and Cassie following behind. Leah's eyes got bigger when we entered the back garden, taking in all the scenery. I guess it is not exactly normal to have a forest at the back of the house.

I caught up with Cassie at school the next day. She gave me a smile which faded as I got closer. Knots appeared in my stomach. I grabbed her hand and pulled her to the side. “Are you okay? Did anything happen?” She bit her lip and scanned the corridor before meeting my gaze. “I’m sorry. It’s just...” She fidgeted with her necklace. “I can’t see you today after school. I promised Leah I would spend time with her.” My body relaxed. I gave her a reassuring smile. “You don't need to feel bad or worried about wanting to hang out with your other friends.” I put my arm around her. “You are allowed to have a life outside of us. I don't expect you to spend all your time with me" She leaned against me and let out a loud breath. "Thank you.

Forgotten memories Chapter 56: Together again
Abigail let out a laugh and I turned towards her, weapon ready. Anger pulsed through my veins. She had tried to kill the people that she had spent the last ten years looking after. Kids she was supposed to care about. Cold spots appeared on my skin, turning the area to become black. My body was transforming into my demon form. I fought against it. If the demon inside won, instinct would take over. I gritted my teeth, willing myself to stay human. Losing control wasn’t an option. “I’m not going to let you get away with this?” Abigail rolled her eyes. “With what?” I glared at her in silence. Part of me, the demon, wanted to rip her into pieces for what she’s done, but my logical part knew we needed her if we were to figure out a way to get Mark and Sky’s magic back. Sh
Forgotten memories Chapter 55: Magical Connections
I woke up a few hours later from Cassie tossing and turning. It looked like she was having a nightmare. I gently shook her awake. It took her a second to come to, when she did, she looked at me with worried eyes. "Leah's very scared, she's in a dark room and her magic does not seem to work. I told her that we would come rescue her soon." “And we will,” I said as I gave her a reassuring hug. After we had got out of bed and I had sorted myself out, the sun was setting. It was time to get everyone gathered and go over the almost non-existing plan one more time. There was an empty feeling in the pit of my stomach. Would we be able to get to Leah and rescue her? I really hoped so. I teleported myself and Cassie to the cabin where Mark, Seth and Sky had been staying. We went over the plan one last time. The wolves woul
Forgotten memories Chapter 54: Follow the Light
I walked over to Cassie and gave her a kiss on the forehead. She stirred and opened her eyes to meet my gaze. "What did Freya say? Does she know where Leah is? Cassie asked, chewing her lip. "She said that she was in between." Her hand went to the necklace. "But how will we find her?" "Freya said to follow our hearts and use our connection to Leah." Cassie frowned at me. "That doesn't really make sense." "But you are related." Sky let out a yawn from the other side of the sofa. We must have woken her up. I looked over at Sky with a raised eyebrow. Did Sky know something I didn’t? "Does that make a difference?”
Forgotten memories Chapter 53: The Inbetween
When I arrived at the cabin, several wolves were there. They stopped howling when they saw me. I turned to the shifter closest to me. “What’s going on?” “Something’s wrong. Mark and Seth are here...” As he spoke Mark walked out from the cabin with the Alpha. Mark approached me with a stooped posture. His eyebrows were drawn together, his lips curled and his face pale. My stomach turned into knots and I took a deep breath to steady my racing heart. “What’s wrong?” I shook my head internally. If anything had happened to Leah, it would be on me. I let her go back against my better judgement. Mark swallowed and met my gaze, his eyes haunted. “Leah’s gone. I got home and she wasn’t in the house. When I asked Abigail about it,
Forgotten memories Chapter 52: Patrolling
I woke up to the smell of food sometime in the late afternoon. After I walked downstairs, I found Cassie and Sky cooking dinner. I stood at a distance and watched them for a while. It looked like Cassie was teaching Sky how to make pancakes. After we had eaten, Sky asked for a scrying bowl. "I thought you didn't have any magic?" She gave me a sad smile. "I don't, but I promised Leaf I would let her know that we had arrived safely." I gave her an understanding look. “I’m sorry I wont be able to help you. I don’t have the ability to scry.” Cassie perked up. “But I do.” she pressed her lips together, a slight blush on her cheeks. “It’s very new, so I don't know if I will be able to get it to work, but I'm willing to give it a go."
Forgotten memories Chapter 51: The wraith of Abigail
When we got to the house, I left Leah with Sky to go and check on Cassie. I was excited to tell her what we had discovered. As I made my way over to the cabin the sky had started to brighten, given way for a new dawn. I expected Cassie to be asleep, but when I walked inside the cabin, I saw that she was playing cards with some of the wolves. I approached her and gave her a kiss. "How did it go? Where's Leah?" Cassie asked, biting her lip. "She's fine, she's in the house with Sky." Cassie bit her lip. "Who's Sky?" I squeezed her shoulder. "It's a long story, I will tell you on the way back." She nodded and stood up from the chair. I thanked the wolves for keeping Cassie safe, before taking her hand. While we made our way
Forgotten memories Chapter 50: House of the Hidden
The middle-aged woman stopped in front of us. "Welcome to the house of the hidden, I'm Leaf." There was a moment of silence as she studied us before she waved her hand, removing the concealing spell that had been placed over the house. Several teenagers appeared in the room. A few cast us a curious look as they walked out of the room to leave us alone with Leaf. "Why are you hiding out here, instead of being in the village?" I asked. "Isn't that the question," Leaf said, giving me a sad smile. “However the more urgent question would be why are you here? You are clearly not from the village yourself.” A feeling that she knew who we were entered my mind. I looked her over, something about her felt familiar and my gut insti
Forgotten memories Chapter 49: Beyond the Portal
Leah turned up a few hours later. She told us Mark and Seth were going to stay at home and hopefully that would keep Abigail from becoming suspicious. It meant that the wolves would have to look over Cassie without Mark, however he had already told them to meet us at the cabin. I left Leah in the house while I teleported Cassie to the cabin. It didn't have any electricity, so I lit up a few candles and waited for the wolves to turn up. I didn't have to wait long. After I had made sure that they were happy to watch over Cassie, I teleported back to Leah. "Are you ready for this?" I asked as I grabbed her hand. "As ready as can be" she said before I teleported us to the city and the Whitelock industry building. When we arrived in the alleyway, the streets were almost e
Forgotten memories Chapter 48: Remembering the past
I enjoyed my flight, knowing that Cassie was safe in my house with Leah protecting her. It made me feel less worried, especially after the defensive display of magic that Leah had manifested by instinct when we were sparring. I knew she still felt bad about it, but in all honesty, it was nothing. If I had been prepared for it, I would have been able to deflect it. My fighting skills went way beyond some elemental magic. There had been a war in the supernatural community. Freya had tried to solve it in a peaceful way for many centuries. She was a strong believer that everyone, no matter their origin, should be able to co-exist and live peacefully amongst each other, and amongst humans if we so wished. Being raised by Freya had its advantages and I had seen first-hand the beauty of different species living together in harmony. Freya's place, or more correctly,
