Forbidden Bonds

Chapter 19

Sebastian

The next few days, Sebastian and Skye spend time together watching movies, reading, or just cuddling. Eventually, the day that Thomas and Ellie had planned to come and visit arrives. Sebastian goes with Skye to wait for their arrival. When they arrive, they get out of their car. Ellie goes to the back of the car and opens the door and out comes two girls.

"W...who are t...they?" Skye asks, shyly.

Ellie sighs and answers, "These are my daughters, Lily and Lilac. They were being particularly argumentative today, and so I brought them with us." She looks apologetically towards Sebastian. "I would've told you if I knew that they were coming today."

"It's okay," Sebastian reassures her, "Gray and Theo can play with them."

Ellie looks stumped. "Your son is named Gray too?"

Skye gives her a confused look. "What are you talking about?"

"My oldest child's name is Gray too."

"O...oh, I forgot y...you h...have m...more t...than two children."

Ellie laughs. "That's okay, I mix up their names sometimes."

"Er, follow me," Sebastian says. He guides them to a building that is used for training. "This is our gym. We use it for training. I'm not exactly sure how strong it is against magic, so please try to not destroy it."

"Okay," Ellie says.

Sebastian sighs and turns to Thomas. "Are you staying here or do you want to come with me?"

"I'll stay here," he answers, "I'll make sure she won't cause trouble." Sebastian nods and motions to Lily and Lilac to follow him. They leave the building.

Skye

"Thomas!" Ellie scolds him, "I don't purposely go around causing trouble!"

"I know that!" he argues back, "I just want you to be safe, that's all!"

She sighs and turns to find Skye. "Okay," she says, "what spell do you want to try first?"

"I d...don't k...know," Skye answers, "w...which o...one i...is the e...easiest?"

"Probably wind or water spells."

"W...wind s...spells, p...please."

"Imagine how wind looks or sounds, perhaps thinking of how the wind is during a storm will help more, then say Zephyr's breath!" A big gust of wind comes through the room, knocking objects over and flinging equipment around the room.

"O...okay, I'll try." Skye closes her eyes and imagines the wind blowing the leaves off of trees, and how loud the wind gets during storms, then she stutters out, "Z...Zephyr's b...breath!"

A small gust of air comes from nowhere and blows a few objects in the room around. "Good job you did it!"

"I d...did i...it!"

"Do you want to try a different spell?"

Skye hesitates. "O...okay."

"Okay, so the process is the same for every spell, just imagine whatever the spell is and then cast the spell by saying the name. For this spell I'm about to teach you, imagine water, and then say gentle ripple." A blast of water shoots out from Ellie's fingers and hits the wall, creating a dent. "Oops..." She turns to Skye. "He won't be angry about that will he? I can fix it if I need to?"

"There's spells for that?"

"Yeah, there's spells for almost anything."

"Er...g...gentle r...ripple." A small stream of water comes from Skye's fingers. She looks disappointed. "It didn't look like yours."
