Chapter 9: Looking for answers
When Leah’s car disappeared in the distance, I transformed into a crow. Sensing her magic made me uneasy. Why could I feel Leah’s magic this time when I hadn’t been able to notice it before?
I followed them. The clear sky improved my visibility, and the black mini was easy to spot from above, so I kept my distance, even though I knew they wouldn’t be able to recognise me. The trees gave way to buildings and eventually I was gliding over the rooftops.
I landed in the tree next to the driveway as Leah parked up. Leah’s magical energy was easy to detect until they walked inside. Despite the protective barrier I had put up, I should still be able to detect it. But I couldn’t sense it anymore, only their personal energies. It worried me.
In all my years, I had never encountered anything like this. Why did it happen? I

Forgotten memories Chapter 10: Questioning Cassie
Turning back to my human form, I checked the time. I'd been gone almost all day. Time worked differently in some realms, so it didn’t come as a shock. Cassie had texted me, but class would finish in less than ten minutes, so I didn't bother texting her back. I scanned the car park to make sure it was deserted before conjuring up my car. I leaned against it as I waited for Cassie. A while later she walked out the school entrance next to Leah. She fidgeted with her necklace as she looked around. When I caught her gaze, her shoulders relaxed, and a smile appeared on her face as she gave me a wave. I waved back, mirroring her smile. She left Leah behind and walked towards me. Butterflies fluttered through my stomach as I pushed myself off the car to go and greet her. I wrapped my arms around her, taking in her scent of spring flowers. A bolt of electricity shot t
Forgotten memories Chapter 11: Avoidance
I spent all evening and most of the night sitting in the tree outside Cassie’s house. Nick’s words about keeping her safe echoed in my mind. When the morning arrived, I followed Leah’s car from a distance, as she and Cassie left for school. After everything I had learned, I didn't want to let Cassie out of my sight. When they reached the school grounds, I reluctantly left them to change back to my human form so I could attend class. I headed towards my first class, but before I reached the classroom, Cassie walked up behind me and pulled me to the side. My arm tingled from the shock of her touch and a warm feeling engulfed me as something tried to push itself to the surface of my mind. I looked over to meet Cassie’s gaze, but she scanned the hallway. “You okay?” I as
Forgotten memories Chapter 12: The Bird and The Kiss
After Leah’s car disappeared in the distance, I glanced at the door with a sigh. I should watch Cassie, but after the day I'd had, I needed some time to myself. Guilt tugged on my conscience, but I hadn’t slept more than a few hours in the last couple of days. I took a deep breath and went inside. If I didn't get some sleep soon, I would end up doing something stupid. When I woke up, the sun was still out. I must not have needed as much sleep as I thought. I stretched my muscles and my eyes landed on the light that was shining through the window. I didn’t get sunlight in my room in the evening. I jumped out of bed and grabbed the phone to check the time. It was morning, and I had already missed my first class. Without thinking, I sent Cassie a text telling her not to worry and that I just overslept. I shook my head. Why had I even bothered. Cassie had made it clear she didn’t want to be my friend.
Forgotten memories Chapter 13: The party
I stared at Cassie. Had I felt the shock when we hugged? I had been blissfully distracted with the knowledge that she wanted me around, that I hadn't paid any attention to anything else. I reached for her hand to check, and she was right. No shock, no weird feelings, or memories. I got so used to it happening, it now felt strange to touch her without it. “Yeah, I guess you’re right,” I said in response to Cassie. “I wonder why?” Cassie shrugged. She didn’t seem too concerned by the lack of the shock. I struggled to brush it off. I wanted to know why it had stopped. I couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation, but then again, I didn't know why we had experienced the shock in the first place. Should I go and see Freya? She may have some insight. I would do it later. At the moment I was too busy enjoying the fe
Forgotten memories Chapter 14: The Voices in My Head
I landed in the tree and made myself comfortable. Leah and Cassie got out of the car and Cassie looked up at me and smiled. My heart rate sped up, and I jumped around on the branch in contentment. They walked inside, leaving me with my thoughts. The sound of a window opening got me back to reality. Cassie leaned out of the window and faced me. “Good night, Jax. I’ll see you in the morning.” Her actions warmed my heart, I had been worried about how Cassie would react when I told her I was watching over. But if it made her uncomfortable, she didn't show it. I smiled to myself. Maybe she even liked having me around? I Cawed back, unable to physically talk to her in my crow form. Her laughter echoed through the open window in response. When it died down, she closed the window and the light went off.
Forgotten memories Chapter 15: The Park
I got out of the shower and walked up to the mirror. I moved my hair away from my eyes. Based on how I felt, I should look severely sleep deprived, but the brightness from my hazel eyes stared back at me. I smiled, sometimes being an immortal had its benefits. Cassie texted me as I got dressed and asked me to meet her in town. I arrived at the spot we had decided to meet. I was a bit early, so Cassie hadn’t turned up yet. I took a seat on one of the benches next to a statue. I replayed last night's events as I waited for her to turn up. How had Cassie been able to talk to my mind, but not heard me when I spoke to her? Was she even aware that she had done it? While I tried to come up with a reasonable explanation of what had happened, I saw Cassie walking towards me. I lifted myself off the bench and went to greet Cassie with a big hug.
Forgotten memories Chapter 16: Mind reading Practice
We walked over to a restaurant nearby and took a seat on their outdoor terrace. The restaurant was fairly empty. A waitress in her early twenties came over almost as soon as we sat down. She gave us a warm smile. “Are you ready to order?” Cassie nodded. “I’ll have the burger and a coke,” I told the waitress. “That’s a great choice. We do have the best burgers in town.” She scribbled something down on a piece of paper and glanced at Cassie. “I’ll have the same,” Cassie said with a smile. The waitress turned back to me. “Anything else?” I gave her a nod. “We’re good thanks.” Her gaze lingered on us as she walked away.
Forgotten memories Chapter 17: Stop talking in Riddles
Walking away from Cassie and Leah left knots in my stomach. Cassie wanted me and Leah to get along, and this would have been a perfect opportunity to get to know her better, but everything that was going on weighed heavily on my shoulders. I needed to see Freya. Hopefully, she would have some answers to the many questions that were occupying my mind. While I made my way over to Freya’s house, I contemplated the day with Cassie. Her control over her ability impressed me. She would be able to read my mind in no time, unless I consciously shielded it. I didn’t want to hide things from her, but it was for the best. I needed to keep her safe. I reflected a bit more about Cassie’s abilities. She was already showing signs of telepathy. I remembered how clearly I could hear Cassie’s voice in my head last night. It was strange that she didn’t hear me when I tried to answer back. She also didn’t seem to be able to talk to my mind again, but maybe she just needed practice, after all, her abili
