Chapter 25: A Busy Mind
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.
Forgotten memories Chapter 27: An Evening Without Cassie
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 28: Feeling the Energy
After the last class, me and Cassie were making our way over to Leah's car. I told Cassie to go with Leah, as it made more sense to have her drive to mine. After they drove away, I went to find a less crowded area, where I turned into a crow and flew home. I smiled to myself as I waited for them to turn up. Who would have thought that flying was faster than driving, but I guess it helped that I could fly above the trees and buildings instead of following the roads. After they arrived, we walked through the house and out to the garden. I double checked that the protection spells were still in place before I spoke up. “I don’t know if Cassie told you, but there is a strange energy surrounding your house. Which is why I lost my cool when I realised that you had been talking about magic in the house. I don't know who
Forgotten memories Chapter 29: A Pentagram of Energy
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
Forgotten memories Chapter 30: A Spell to Recall Memories
I tried to move, but my arm was pinned down. I bolted up, opened my eyes, ready to summon my weapon and defend myself. I wasn’t going to go down without a fight. The room seemed familiar. My gaze settled on Cassie and my body relaxed. She stared at me with building eyes. Her hand over her mouth. “What happened?” I let out a nervous laugh and scratched my forehead. “Sorry. I’m a bit jumpy in the mornings.” It was an understatement. I wasn't used to waking up next to someone else. Leah gave her body a stretch. “Good morning.” She looked from me to Cassie. “Did I miss something?” I glanced over at Cassie, wondering if she would mention anything to Leah about me freaking out, but she stayed quiet.
Forgotten memories Chapter 31: Family Dinner
I was still flying around when the sun came up. I remembered Cassie mentioning that she liked waking up and seeing me, so I made my way over to Cassie’s room. I watched her sleep peacefully for a while, before her voice echoed in my head; ‘Good morning’. We spent some time just talking mentally to each other, until she went down to have breakfast. I stayed behind in her room, not ready to go home just yet. When she came back up to her room, she told me that she was going to spend the day with Abigail and Leah. I was happy that Leah was coming with them. It worried me that they were spending time with Abigail. Even though everything pointed towards the fact that she was just a human, I didn't trust her. Something was going on and my gut told me that Abigail was in the middle of it. I followed them around for most of the day, my senses on high alert. I was para
Forgotten memories Chapter 32: Finding out the truth
Cassie's window was still closed when I got back to the house, she usually left it open for me, but maybe she was still downstairs with the others, talking about how the dinner had gone. I made myself comfortable in the tree, while I waited, it wasn't like I had anywhere else to be. After a while, Cassie called me mentally, telling me that she needed to talk to me. I didn't know what it was about, as I thought that the dinner had gone fine, but she sounded upset. I let her know I was outside and ready to talk when she was. Cassie walked out of the house and down the road, I followed her until we were far enough from the house that I felt comfortable to transform back to my human form. I walked up to Cassie to give her a hug, but she stepped out of my reach. Something was obviously up, it wasn't like Cassie to avoid me.
Forgotten memories Chapter 33: Losing Cassie
I'm making my way over to the field where the horses are grazing. I got a horse collar in my hand. Edmond, the farmer I work for, has requested me to get one of the horses back to the stable. As I'm walking along in the fields, I see a beautiful girl. She’s crying. I'm sure that she lives in the village, but I'm not supposed to talk to anyone in the village. Edmond has warned me about going into the village, as they will banish me if they find out what I am. Against my better judgement, I talk to the girl. I can’t stand seeing her upset. I ask her if she wants to come with me to try to catch a horse. While we are walking around the fields, trying to locate the horse I'm looking for, I keep telling her silly stories in an attempt to get her to laugh. It seems to be working. Eventually, we find the horse and I head back to the farm. As we get closer, the girl excuses herself and leaves. I’m happy because sh
