A Strange Case Of Dè Jà Vu

Chapter 8

Cassidy POV

Months fly by like weeks and I haven’t seen Christian since well, the last time I saw him. Axel (the boy from the library) and I had become friends.

Whenever I’m free I  join him in the library. The Librarian is this close to killing us.

He makes me laugh all the time and suddenly high school is not that bad. I learnt that he's a transfer student from Nebraska. He and his family moved here recently. His the only child and has a knack for getting into trouble.

I don’t know in which category I should place Axel in. He seems like your typical bad boy but then he loves books so much that he skips class just to hang around in the library and read. I guess its safe to say that he is someone who you just cant place in a category ‘One of a kind soul' as he would like to refer to himself.

*Ring*

At last the last bell rings signalling home time.  Tears nearly fall from being overjoyed. As usual I'm the last person to leave the class. “Miss Blake,” I acknowledge Mr Colden who was looking very serious.

“Is there a problem?”

Just as the words leave my mouth two big built men barge through the door and stand behind me. They both have red coloured eyes, strong features and those are enough to make me gulp and nearly choke on my saliva.

By the way did I mention that my heartbeat was skyrocketing. I would say I’m in huge trouble but that would be an understatement.

I feel a jolt of pain against my head. Next thing I’m being swallowed by darkness.

* * *

Waking up to darkness I feel for my surroundings.  The space is cramped.  If I didn’t know better I would say I’m in the trunk of a car.

These assholes put me in the trunk. I struggle out the ropes burning and  scraping  against my wrists. Once partially free I start banging and banging. There has to be a way out.
I struggle for at least an hour(warning I can exaggerate sometimes). There are bruises on my forearms and wrists. I start crying because nothing I do works. I don’t even know why this is happening to me.

I lay still just for a while. I try to think why would they kidnap me.

🦋”You can do great things but only if you never give up.”🦋

My breathing becomes uneasy and I feel I’m suffocating.

🦋” Relax, breathe, most importantly concentrate then only will you get the spell right."🦋

“Spell?”

🦋”Tenebras illustrat-"🦋

I close my eyes and take a deep breath. The words play in my mind. Its of a foreign tongue but somehow not foreign to me.

I close my eyes and inhale a deep breath.

“Tenebras illustrat flammarum ject caust!,” my eyes open as the final words leave my lips in one breath.

Flames erupt all around me and spread to the entire car. The smoke made it hard to see or breathe.

I tried knocking the hood of the trunk but the metal was hot.

“Erectus ject!”

The trunk flew open and I escaped. I try to get as far away as possible but my legs are failing me. I manage to get a few feet before the care explodes. I feel the effects of the explosion knock me to the ground. My eyes feel heavy before I’m consumed by darkness.
