Fire frequency.

"Are you sure you want to go back?" Luke asked, his brows lowered on his forehead. I rolled my eyes, shifting in my seat. This was the fifth time they've asked that question since we began driving up to Kingston.

"Yes, I'm sure." I sighed. There was something wrong with my visions, and I got a bad feeling that something was going to happen. My visions hadn't completely stopped, they'd just stopped.

My visions have never just ... taken a break like that, not without me going through frequencies first. But they'd just paused--sort of. I still felt the buzz of an oncoming vision, and I saw flashes and images ... it just felt ... fleeting, if that made sense.

"I've already missed so much of my school work. Our mid terms are coming, and I need to catch up." I lie. I didn't need to catch up, well, I did, but Caspain had been taking notes for me, I'll just have to review, but they didn't know that. I sort of had a feeling that whatever this pause was wouldn't last forever, and it would only be a matter of time before my visions came back with vengeance. I didn't want Luca, and Andrew around for that.

Andrew glanced back at me from the rearview mirror, his face pinched. "You have to take it easy then, lad." He said.

Luca nodded, turning in his seat to look back at me. "If you so much as sneeze, you come to my office right away. Alright?" For his sake, I hid my smile and nodded. Last thing he needed was to see how much this amused me.

Luca pursed his lips, a troubled look passing over his face. "I just want you to be safe, you know that, right?" I must've shown my confusion, because he sighed. "I'm just ... I don't know--"

"--I know Luca. Thanks." I cut him off, offering a small smile. He smiled back, reaching out to clutch my hand.

Andrew cleared his throat. "Uh, you two might want to take a look at this." Luca frowned, and turned back around in his seat, I unbuckled my seat belt, and sat forward in between the two front seats.

Andrew pointed towards the gate of the school. "Bloody hell." Luca cursed, and I furrowed my brows.

One of the castle towers was on fire. The students, and teachers were gathered in the car park. Andrew parked in front of the gates. I opened the door, and followed behind Luca as he pushed the gates open, and waved through the group of students, to where the teachers were gathered.

"What in the bloody hell is going on?" He asked the group and, Mr. Willow, the Herbology teacher, grimaced.

"We don't know, sir." He gulped. "The astronomy tower just burst into flames. Thankfully, the fire brigade got here just in time and, put out the fire. They're now trying to find the source."

Luca bit his lower lip, his shoulders were drawn up tight, and his brows furrowed. He nodded. "Are any of the students hurt?" He asked, and Mr. Willow, paused, averting his eyes.

"Th--We're not sure. Some students said they'd seen some other students going into the tower during the fire. We tried to look for them ... we haven't found them." Luca's breath hitched, and he ran a hand through his hair.

"What I want to know, is why no one thought to call me. How long has the fire been going on?"

This time, Mrs. Lily spoke up. "About an hour sir." She spoke, hands clasped in front of her. "And we tried. Cellphones aren't going through I'm afraid."
