Magic is not everything

CHAPTER 21

Kasandra recounts

I wake up in my bed with the fluffy and warm blankets around me yesterday was a day full of many adventures, now it is weekend and is almost noon but I still didn't want to get out of bed but not because I liked to be lazy but for  that I had a lot to think about, a lot of things, in fact, yesterday had completely upset me.  I had always wanted my father to be here, I never imagined that this desire would be so close to me. I got out of bed and leaned my back against the back of the bed.

I had the power of the Books of the Beginning in me, I was the Final Keeper of a power that can change the world, but I didn't feel that way at all, I had never felt that power in me and that made me wonder if that power was really in me, not a I had never felt like that so I didn't know if it was like that or not.

I cross my legs under me and close my eyes, the spell was simple I would send a field of energy through my body to see what state is my magic  it was a spell that could be cast on people who wanted to know what state of health  like an analysis bulletin obtained much faster. I let the energy waves penetrate my body to inspect everything, the magic in the wizards' bodies was not positioned in a certain part of the body such as in the head or heart, it was  like that magic was everywhere in the body, it was not a point  fixed, but rather like a spider's web, I feel like magic is there in me everywhere, I dig even deeper into myself and find ... nothing. Nothing foreign to what I already knew existed in me, nothing to imply that I would have a foreign and unknown power, everything was the same.

I resign myself when my spell doesn't fruitless and I get out of bed.

I get close to the kitchen and see my mother and aunt Emma. As they look, I caught them in a personal moment, so before they see me, I hide behind the wall listening their conversation, I didn't want to interrupt them, so it's better not to get involved.

" It's not good, Kate.  It's not good at all."

My mother get up from her chair and approached aunt Emma.

" I know the reunion with Gabriel was something…," my mother seemed to choose her words…"wonderful, but I'm here if you need me."

Aunt Emma knew this as well as I did. Mom will always be here for us.

" I'm not talking about Gabriel,  Kate, I'm talking about Jake."

My mother was surprised by what aunt Emma was saying, so she asked.

" What happened to Jake?"

Auntie has two minutes to say.  She seemed very scared and worried, I had never seen her like that she was always harsh and sarcastic.

" Ever since he found out that Rafe could come back to us, he has nightmares almost every night, he talks in his sleep and says every time that he is afraid of fire and begs Rafe to save him.  He's so scared and I don't know what to do to help him."

I knew this story very well from grandma Henrietta's diary, the wizard Scruggs had died and with him the spell that had hidden the church from the people. Then the crowd of people had come to the church to destroy it without caring about the children or anything but their own hatred for any magical being, some children had managed to get out in time, but others had not been so lucky and among them was uncle  Jake, my father had managed to save him but I had never thought that this incident would leave scars in his mind and soul so painful, he had never shown that this would ever affect him it seems he knew very well to hide  the wounds.

" It's going to be fine Emma, ​​Jake just needs..."

" That's how it was when you took care of me and Michael sometimes you felt like you wanted to do something to help us but in some situations you felt useless."
