Lahat ng Kabanata ng Forgotten memories: Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

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’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 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

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.

I soared over the town and landed a bit further down the road before transforming back to my human form. I walked towards the house, Leah caught up to me and I joined them on the driveway.  I turned to Leah. "I'm not sure where the best place would be to sense the energy. I'm usually in the air. Maybe you can walk around the house after you get a feel for it."  Leah nodded. She closed her eyes and put her hands in front of her, making her way around the house. Cassie and I followed her at a distance. Every now and again Leah would stop and feel around the ground, telling us that the energy was denser in those areas. I marked them up with some stones that I found lying around. When Leah was done, I had concluded that there were five spots of more concentrated energy. I had a sense of foreboding that we were not
