25 | INVISIBLE SHIELD
LIBRARIES were always the peaceful places to go when one wanted to think, but for Cassia, a library was the place she would go to, to hide. If there were nowhere else she could go — apart from her dorm, this would be the girl's second resource.
In her hand, she carried the magical blue book. It had repeatedly been glowing since the morning and she didn't know why. Her thoughts were cluttered with Salos having to tell her something, or that the wizard discovered that there was a voice after her.
She would've stayed in her room, but Jane had reserved it for her and Carlos. The pair had decided they would have a movie night.
Her eyes shifted all around the library, and not seeing many faces she relaxed. She wouldn't know what to do if someone caught her talking to a book. It wasn't the old times anymore.
Her vision never paid attention to where she was walking when she bumped into a girl.
Cassia was quick to apologize, "I'm so sorry," She murmured glancing at her fastly before she continued her path.
The brunette always loved to sit on the end corner of one of the bookshelf aisles. Nobody really would go toward that end, as that was where the philosophy books were. Cassia could feel the book in her hand move, turning a brighter hue of blue.
When she reached the end of the aisle she wasted no time in squatting down and opening the book. The page that was filled with inked letters began to shift into the room that by now she knew very well.
"What happened?" Cassia was brisk to ask, her voice in worry. She wasn't used to the wizard calling her, as it was usually her to be the one.
"I sense something," The wizard came into frame, "Something big," he announced, only creating confusion for the girl.
A look of tugged eyebrows covered her face, "What are you talking about?" Cassia asked in a perplexing matter.
Salos spoke again, stressed, "I can't see what it is." He bit his lip in anger as he balled his fists. "There's a spell involved in here. Some sort of... shield."
Cassia knew nothing about spells or sorcery magic for the matter. So whatever it was that was being used in order to keep a shield up from Salos was big.
"Well, everything is fine here. I'm sure you just need to relax." She released, her tone calm but Salos didn't seem so.
Cassia's eyes looked at the screen of her phone, it had lit up with Elliot's contact on display.
