The next morning, Leah invited us back to the house for breakfast. We all gathered around the dinner table. Leah and Cassie had cooked up a massive breakfast feast, which surprised me considering everything that had happened. When we finished eating, Jax spoke up.
“I understand you guys are all eager to go back to school.” He looked around the table with a serious face. Noone met his gaze and you could cut the tension with a knife. Several moments of silence followed.
“I’m not,” Seth said with a smile.
“Well then, you can stay with the wolves,” Mark said firmly, before looking over at Jax for him to continue.
“I don’t like it, but as Abigail is taken care of, there shouldn’t be any major reasons why you ca
After breakfast I went over to the school to enroll Sky. Knowing that my mind persuasion worked on the head teacher, I was more relaxed this time. And it didn’t take long before everything was taken care of.I met up with Cassie to let her know what it was all sorted and to tell the guys that they can go back to college tomorrow. I asked Cassie to stay in the house as I needed to see Freya and I didn’t want to leave her alone in school with everything that was going on. She understood and gave me a kiss.I teleported myself to the forest and made the long journey to Freya’s house. I never understood why she had made it so that I couldn’t just teleport to her house, but I guess it was a safety precaution.To blow off some steam, I swiftly soared through the trees close to ground level. C
I needed to talk to Jax. Abigail was the only one that could give me the answers I wanted, and Jax was the only one that knew where she was being held.As I walked over to the house, I tried to come up with what to tell Jax. He needed to understand how desperate I was to question Abigail. Jax had said that he would question her himself, but he wouldn’t know the right things to ask. I had been studying magic and spells for most of my life. He had only lived briefly in the witch village and wasn’t able to wield elemental magic.I reached the back door and stopped for a moment, considering whether or not I should knock. Everyone always seemed to just walk inside. It surprised me that Jax never locked the house.I opened the door and walked inside. The living room was empty, so I shouted hello, but I didn&rs
The sound of the back door slamming shut got my attention. Because of my protective barrier I knew it wasn’t an enemy, but one of us, but I thought I better check who it was. I had my suspicions.Mark marched towards me in an angry stance as I stepped into the living room. His breathing shallow, like he had been running and his muscles tensed. His face held a sour expression and if looks could kill, I would have been dead several times over by now.“Why did you agree to it?” he yelled as he invaded my personal space and glared right into my eyes. His eyes were dilated and I could feel his breath on my face. I could have sworn that he was growling. If he’d had his ability to shift, he would have turned into a wolf and tried to rip me to pieces. Luckily for me, or him, depending on how you saw it, he couldn’t.
After Mark left, I looked over my research that Leaf somehow had sent over to this world. I wasn’t sure how, but a few days after I had arrived here, a box with my name had appeared in Jax’s living room. When I opened the box, everything I had worked on over the last years was there, including a note from Leah ‘I thought you may need this’.I opened my notebook and looked over my most recent notes. I had tried to figure out what type of spell they had been using to take the magic away from someone. But I didn’t have much to go on, so the progress was slow. In order to reverse a spell, you must first know how the spell was conducted. And talking to Abigail would help with that.I sat down at the table and started scribbling down all the questions I wanted to ask Abigail, questions that would help me understand that type of spell tha
I was thinking about where to take Cassie as I collected the ingredient that we needed for the spells. I could just take her to a fancy restaurant, but it didn’t feel like the right place. No, I wanted something that represented us both, somewhere where we could be alone. Suddenly I knew where I wanted to take her. It would be perfect. I paid for the ingredients and walked out of the shop, I had been in luck and they had everything that we needed.Before I went back to the house, I teleported to the mountain cliff near the woods. I wanted to make sure that it was safe and that the weather had not made it unpleasant. I conjured up some blankets and a fireplace. Cassie would like this place. The sun was just disappearing behind the trees, so by the time we got back here we would be able to watch the stars.I got back to the house and handed over the bag of
Mark’s snoring woke me up. I tried to get back to sleep, but I was too nervous about the day. I debated whether to wake Mark up, as I had promised to say goodbye to him before I left to see Abigail with Jax, but there were still a lot of preparations to be done.I got out of bed and got myself ready for the day. I wondered if they would sort out a shower with the extension. I think I had seen a spring nearby. I went out to the living room and went over all the ingredients I would need, together with an incarnation spell for the protection and the book containing the spell, before I left the cabin and made my way to Jax’s house.I walked into the living room. Everyone seemed to still be asleep. A large leather-bound book was lying on the table. Curiosity got the better of me and I went to see what it was about. I looked through the book, amazed
Relief hit me as Sky told me she felt fine. My muscles had been tense from worrying whether the protective spells would work. I didn’t want to become werewolf food.Nick had not seemed pleased to see us, and as me and Sky made our way into the living room, the reason occupied my thoughts. Had we interrupted him in the middle of something?“Who is this?” Nick’s detached voice brought me back to reality. He inspected Sky closely.“This is Sky, from the witch village.”“So she’s the reason my Cassie got taken.” He walked up to Sky, and Sky swallowed and looked up at him with a terrified expression.“No, She’s the reason we got Leah back,” I blurted out. For
The door behind me closed with a loud noise that made me jump. It was pitch black and I couldn’t see anything. If it wasn’t for Jax’s presence, I would have been terrified, but I knew he wouldn’t let anything bad happen to me.The torches on the wall lit on fire, casting an amber light over the room. The room was different from the pass way we had just walked through. Instead of the pebbled stone walls, the walls were smooth, and the ceiling was lower. If I didn’t know any better, I could almost believe that we were in some sort of basement. The weak white light in the shape of a dome in the middle of the room caught my attention. I looked closer and saw a skinny woman laying on a small bed.When we walked closer, she sat up, her hair all tangled and it looked like she had large dark circles under her eyes. I guess the light from t
