“It is her then; I
wanted to show you a drawing of a woman that I have seen in my dreams when I
was invoked with the fire element!” I told him
“You have already been
invoked with an element?” He asked surprised
“Yes haven’t you?” I
asked back
“No! You do not get your
first element until after 6 months of training! I have just reached 6 months.
Hopefully soon I will be blessed with an element!” He said
“My Great, Great, Great
Grandmother Amelia told me that your element is determined at the full moon
ceremony! So why have you not received yours?” I asked confused
“You have two full moon
ceremonies, the first when the change begins and then again at the end of the
year and a day of training! How is it that you can speak to spirit?” Ryan asked
grabbing my hand
I did not jump at the
touch, it actually comforted me. He rubbed his fingers across the back of my
hand; it felt nice and nice to be touched without getting all those confusing
feelings. I took a deep breath and answered his question “Yes, I have a couple
of times. I have also traveled while I was awake. Like today my dad walked me
down to the front door when it was opened I was transported to another time. It
was a year after Amelia and Josiah had sacrificed themselves for us to live in
a community of safety for our coven. That is how I knew the incantations for
the protection spell and the door to the casting circles.” I finally I looked
up at him. I don’t know why I felt ashamed for telling him that I could speak
to spirits and travel while awake. But I knew when I saw the look on his face,
that is was why I did not look at him when I told him. I knew I felt his
fingers stop brushing my hand when I answered his question. Ryan looked like he
was going to be sick.
“Julia, I do not know if
you have heard of the 5th element, but it is spirit! No one has ever been able
to touch all 5 elements of a goddesses magic. That is unheard of now I know why
Detective O’Connor and myself have been appointed as your protectors. Amelia
told me that you will have an army of protection along with a court of people
that will serve you and because of your specialty in the elements even your
friends will change early so they can be by your side.” Ryan said
“You said Alaina has a
message for you to give me, what was Alainas' Message?” I asked
“Alaina
wants you to know that you are in danger! As you should already know you are
special even more so then she was. You will obviously have the fifth element,
which has not been heard of ever. I questioned her motives at first until she
proved to me who she is. Alaina is alive but she is being held in the dark
magic coven. Only after you have been trained can she be saved.” Ryan said. He
squeezed my hand and continued “Myself and your parents applied to Kentucky
University for you. We can hide there without detection from the dark magic
coven. But Detective O'Connor cannot know why. We will have to come up
with a plan to get out of town without him knowing. He is being tracked to
watch your progress. I need to explain to your parents of your elemental powers
they will be shocked but understand why we need it to be this way. Your parents
do not know of Alaina, and before you say why it is because the dark magic
coven has spells everywhere to read minds and memories if you tell them they
could walk through a spell then the dark magic coven will know that Alaina is
to break through their binding spells. Then we will be without her guidance.”
Ryan finished.
“This is a lot of
information to take in. I will need to speak to Detective O'Connor I will not
give anything away I promise. But I am thinking the only way
to get away is to pretend that I am interested in you. But please know that it
will just be to mask what is truly going on.” I told him
Ryan agreed that may be
the way to proceed and of course he did not mind being the man that I am
interested in. I am hurting already that I have to hurt Detective O’Connor, but
to keep my family; Amelia, Detective O’Connor and then coven safe then I will
do what I need too. My back pocket started to play “Demons” (performed by one
of my favorite bands Imagine Dragons) to alert me of a text message. This particular
ring tone was assigned to my best friend Rose and believe me it is fitting. I
have not talked to her since Detective O’Connor’s welcome dinner. Just thinking
of his name surrounds me with that feeling of his energy wrapping around me,
and gives me the memory of his lips on mine. I usually talk to Rose at least on
average five times a day, god I miss talking to my best friend I have so much
to I need to tell her and cannot. I picked my phone out of my pocket to read
the text:

Are you crazy! Do you
know who you are texting? This is Julia I do not do things like that remember,

As I sent the last

of information from Ryan. I need a night of just fun with my best friends.

You got it! By the way I
am with Ryan at the Cafe in town!
I knew that last text
message could put my plan in action and the word would be around town of who I
was with and where. That kind of talk spreads like wildflowers here in town.
The music came again
Monday

Knew the kiss would snag
you!!! Slut! Bring him tonight we will go into Columbus and party hard for my
last week in town!
I started to shake at
the thought of hurting Detective O’Connor, but I am excited to know what he
will do to get me to stay with him. I looked at Ryan with warning in my eyes.
“What did you do?” He
asked
“I started our plan in
action. You are going with me tonight to Columbus I need to sneak out I will
meet you at the end of my driveway at 6:30 pm. Dress to party and understand the
wrath that might come your way if Detective O’Connor is close…
