Enchanter

Chapter 14

As Eli casted a mandala on the side of Tessa's car and soft click soon followed. "Get in before anyone catches on."

Cas was wondering what was going to happen. She'd probably be over joyed, there had to be at least forty thousand dollars in that pile of money Eli had put down. However at the moment, he really didn't have time to waste feeling sorry for the girl.

Looking in the front view mirror Cas noticed that somehow he'd gained five pounds and red hair. Noticing that he was taken aback Eli said, "Oh yeah I forgot I cloaked out appearances." Eli snapped his fingers and Cas saw himself again It was the face he could no longer recognise nor have the time to accept. "Hold on tight the last time I drove a mortal vehicle was when I was sixteen."

Cas felt the car whip out just as he gripped the wheel. From the back of the window he saw Tessa staring at them still in the dinner. "Man she is really creepy."

"What was that?" Eli said turning his head. "Oh yeah the sight girl."

"Just drive," Cas exclaimed.

"Oh yes, that's what I was doing." A screech of burning rubber filed the air as they flew out of the parking lot.

"I swear, if I never have to see that girl again I think I'll live a rather happy life.

"But she did bring up a valid point." Eli's clenched his jaw as if he didn't want to admit what he wanted to say next, "I do need to teach you how to drive."

"Really?" Cas was shocked, "You're actually going to explain some of the magic world to me?"

"Not exactly." Before Cas could ask him anything else Eli clenched Cas' shoulder. "Just let it happen." And that was the last thing Cas remembered before falling to sleep.

Cas opened his eyes into the familiar dream scape that hunted him for some time now. It was dark and void of life only a few tiny lights illuminated a very small path. Each step Cas took echoed and left him feeling haunted.

At the end of the road was a large open field with wheatgrass that glowed in the darkness. A laugh that he knew too well reverbed in every direction that he knew. "Cash," Cas exclaimed spinning around, "Cash?"

"Boo," Cas spun around. "Oh Casy your looking so delightful."

Cash's eyes were sickly red in comparison to the rest of her body, pale and grim. "What are you doing here, Cash?"

"I'm here to do whatever you want Casy." She became a lot closer. "After all the academy is so boring and I need something to take my mind off all the finials." Shock appeared on her face as she dropped to the ground an arrow sticking out of her back.

"Back of you bitch," said Alice. She was still holding the crossbow that he stole from her, her eyes were lavender and gentle. "He's mine."

Joan, of the arches, was standing behind her, "Good, yes, good give into your inter darkness. Let lust consume you my initiate." Alice was stared at Joan and her eyes began to change red. "You're making me proud, Alice Colt."

"No!" Cas ran toward them, but it was too late, they dissolved into nothing and Cas was standing on a bell tower. He heard a snap of fingers and saw Christopher. "You," Cas backed up. "Stay away from me." Cas reached for the dagger that appeared on his arm.

"I wouldn't suggest doing that mate." Christopher rang the bell, "This school is really nice." He laughed madly, "I'm coming for you, but till then." He snapped his fingers and Cas was thrown off the building.

Cas felt like he was falling forever when he noticed Gabriel was by his side. "You seem to be lost, Cas."

"Well, you wouldn't be wrong." Cas look downward the ground wasn't anywhere close to him.
