Game Of Lightning

Chapter Eight

Annie's POV-

I settle into my bed, hoping Ember got the note. Ari sits down on her bed and says, "Do you think Em got the note?"

"You just read my mind," I say, chuckling slightly. "Probably."

"Are we gonna do what Ember said?" Ari asks.

"Split into groups?" I ask and she nods. "It's not a very good plan, but it's all we got."

Ari nods. "True. Am I going to stay here then?"

"Yeah. You should stay here and search through the library about spells since Light is looking for one. Aaron could help you," I tell her. "And Damien and I could find the missing sister, Nailea."

"OK," she says. "When are you two gonna leave?"

"Soon."

"How will you get there though?" Ari asks me.

I curse myself for sending Ember on the Zodiac. "I have no clue," I tell her. "Unless one of our abilities is moving to different dimensions, then we could. And I don't think they have a flying boat shop just around the corner."

Ari suddenly grabs a bag and pulls out a book. It's Magical Properties. She flips through the pages until she stops. Her eyes scan the page before looking back up at me. "It says here," she says, pointing to the book, "that the ability Telekinesis can bend the very fabric of dimensional barriers, allowing travel through wormholes or teleportation-like movement. That little part of Telekinesis is called Dimensional Travel."

I stare at her and she nods. "Its just a little advanced," she says. "Maybe we should practice our abilities more to see if we could do other stuff with them."

I nod and say, "We should. But not right now because we need to sleep."

"Yeah," she says. "Good idea. Night Annie."

"Night Ari."

I wake up and see that it is dark out. I groan and try to go to sleep again. No such luck.

I quietly get up and head out of my room and suddenly run into someone. I start falling but they catch me. "I see you're falling for me," Damien says, grinning.

"I know I shouldn't but I, I just can't stop myself from, falling for ya, falling for ya," I sing, quoting Teen Beach Movie. He chuckles as he lifts me easily. I brush myself off.

"What are you doing out here?" he asks me.

"Couldn't sleep," I tell him.

"Me either."

"Are you worrying about Ember?" I ask.

"Yes and no," he says.

"So in between?" I ask.

"Yeah," he agrees. "She's perfectly fine with Rafi but I know she's hurting inside."

I nod. "Wanna go to the library?" he asks suddenly.

"For what?" I ask him.

"Reading. Searching," he says. "Anything."

He wiggles his eyebrows and I hit him. We walk to the library and enter, seeing no one around. "So, what are we going to do since we can't do any other activities?" he says, grinning.

"Where's the casket?" I ask him.

"I think it's locked up somewhere. Why?" he asks.

"I wanna look at it," I tell him. "There might be more clues that no one has seen yet."

He nods distractedly. Suddenly, the doors open. I push Damien and he falls down. I join him on the floor, hearing someone walk our way. "I saw you two," someone says. "Come on out."
