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
Forgotten memories Chapter 18: A trip Down Memory Lane
When I woke up the next morning, Cassie was no longer in her bed. How had I not woken up? I was usually a light sleeper. My heart sped up, and I flew over to the bed to investigate. Had someone taken her while I was asleep? Her bed was still warm. Would it be safe to send my energies out inside the house? Would I be able to find her? Before I got carried away, her voice sounded from downstairs. I let out a breath of relief. She had probably just woken up and gone downstairs. But why had she not woken me up? Was she still mad at me? If I was being honest, I had been out of line. She had told me that she hadn’t mentioned anything about her powers or that I wasn’t human to Leah and despite this I asked Leah about her magic. Not only that, but I'd also left them as soon as Leah turned up. I paced back and forth
Forgotten memories Chapter 19: A Place of Knowledge
I 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
Forgotten memories Chapter 21: A new Ability
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
Forgotten memories Chapter 22: An Emotional Evening
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
Forgotten memories Chapter 23: Elemental Magic
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.
Forgotten memories Chapter 24: The Official Date
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
