Incantations...Invisible...Energy casting!!!!

“Julia, he is not our focus but he will not be alone look around with your mind to find the real threat. Then create an incantation for your element and send it out hard.” Alaina told me “Good Luck! Blessed Be!”

I closed my eyes arched my back as he reached for my breast. “I am going to close my eyes and looked around!” I said. His head flung up you can do that?”, “Yes” I whispered as I closed my eyes concentrated and pushed out ripples of energy to see of any movement and sure enough on his right there I could feel the dark energy invading our space. “I ask of the goddess of the west to help guide me in the protection of myself and my mate.” I whispered and continued with the incantation “Blue is blue, and black is black wash the black way back!” it sounded cheesy but a rush of water flew out of my hands and blasted the man in the shadows to the right and it washed him all the way back a couple of blocks. Detective O’Connor grabbed me and shoved me in the car and took off!

“How did you do that or know what to do?” he said

“I just do it! It comes to me when I need it!” I told him

“You can travel awake? When did this start?” he asked

“The first event; The Sacrifice, since then I still talk to Amelia!” I told him

“Why did you not tell me or your parents? This means a whole new way of going about protecting you!” he stated

“I did tell mom but I do not think she is really hearing anything she is in shock! Did you go down to the casting circles today?” I asked him as he spun around the corner to his condo.

“Yes, I knew when I saw the circle with your name and the sheer size of it that we were going to be seeing things that have never been seen before. But I do not understand one thing yours glows of gold light and Alaina’s glows silver but of the many great ones we have lost the light is dark but hers is not!” He said looking confused

“Who is Alaina?” I asked

“Alaina was our Grand High Priestess; she went missing several years ago. She is thought to be dead! But I am not so sure anymore! Have you seen or heard anything from her?” Detective O’Connor asked while parking the car.

“Goddess of the West I ask to use the element of water as a veil to protect our presence here at Detective O’Connor’s residence.” I felt the water from the west and asked it “Water from the west wraps your element around us to protect us from harm.” as I finished the incantation the water came around us and wrapped us in a veil of nothingness. Detective O’Connor looked at me grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the car and took me into his condo. When we reach the door the water unwrapped us and rolled up the windows. Detective O’Connor bent back to look at the window and then looked at me.

“What is it?” I asked

“I cannot see you in the condo! I am looking in the window but it looks like no one is here!” he said shaking his head and walking in the condo. “How is this possible?” he whispered I think it was meant for himself not for me to answer that question.

“To answer your question from before I have not talked to any Alaina, I am not sure what she even looks like to even know if I have seen her in my dreams.” I told him trying to really making it not sound like a lie. I feel horrible lying to him but I cannot involve them.

I walked through the entryway to see a studio lay out condo with exposed brick and ventilation shafts. Modern yet vintage furniture. I have been here once before but in a dream, I really did not get a good look then but it is a beautiful space. “Do you want some water or coffee to help sober up more? Or are you hungry?” O’Connor asked

“Honestly I feel hungry, I do not feel to drunk anymore but I am sure I will feel it in the morning.” I told him giggling.

“I hope not because it is our day tomorrow!” he said with a smirk “We need to keep the lights off so can you light some candles while I start cooking?”

“Yeah sure where do you keep the candles?” I asked

“Up in the loft, in the cabinet next to the window, but try to stay away from the window; I know your water element has a veil over the windows but just to be safe, OK?” He said with concern

“Ok, I will be right back!” I said as I walked to the stairs that looked more like a ladder. I walked through the living room and made a left to the bathroom first. I was still soaking wet from the club, so I needed to dry off. “O’Connor are those drawers your clothes?” I asked looking back at the kitchen pointing to the dresser by the bathroom.

“Yeah why?” he said with a glare

“I need dry clothes do you care if I steal a shirt or something?” I saw him swallow hard from his visual that he would so love to see.
