Chapter Fifty-nine: Free fall

"Real love, she always said, knew no bounds. It wasn't hindered by space or time. It couldn't be weakened by death. Real love started in your heart and went straight through infinity" - Kori (Infinity)

- Cassandra Flame -

Flame pushed passed through the gyrating bodies on the dance floor. She glanced back at Ash who is now preoccupied by the girl who stole him to dance. Flame didn't mind at all. Inaya lang naman niya si Asher na sumayaw kanina para lubayan na siya nito and hopefully lose him in the dance floor. She mentally thanked the girl that did the trick.

Flame slipped out through the back door, deeply inhaling the fresh air.

She ran through the forest, seeking solitude. When she was finally far enough, naupo siya sa trunk in isang puno and held her head down.

Kahit ano pang gawin ni Ash para makalimutan niya ang lahat, Flame just couldn't do it. The whole week has been a nightmare for her simula nang umuwi siya from the Ball.

Ezra's accusation was the right trick to finally throw her over the edge.

As if flunking the written exams and barely living through the trials wasn't enough. She just have to have classmates watching her every move at gumawa pa ito ng mga kwento just to fill the void.

Flame tried not to listen to gossip and give away anything. Kung saan nito nakuha a
ng nabanggit ni Ezra sa kanya kanina, hindi niya alam.

The only one who knows about the trials is her and her instructors. And the probably the whole coven and ministry.

"I heard you almost killed your instructor"

That was true. But the instructor tried to killed her first. Kahit na illusion pa 'yon.

If her Mom hadn't warned her about the trials she wouldn't be ready.

She barely made through it... that means she wasn't prepared enough.

Her Mom, oh dear Luna, her Mom. Flame just wanted to head home and hug her again. The short visit wasn't enough. She longed for her parents' comfort. She will give up everything right now just to hug her Dad. He wasn't there when she dropped by.

She wanted to kiss and hug her two little siblings. Just hearing them laugh and squeal about little exciting things made her heart hurt.

Being away from her family hurts her so much right now.

The last conversation with her Mom was one of the things holding her together. She can still remember every second of it. It was an eye opener yet the burden she's been only became heavier.

The ticking of the grandfather clock was the first thing Flame hear when her feet settled on the ground. The house was eerily silent. Where is everyone?

Tinignan ni Flame ang oras.

The kids must be napping at this hour. Her Dad might be somewhere in the house or he's out of the country. He's been very busy since the last time they saw each other. That leaves her to one person she wanted to see.

Flame ran down to the spell room.

She found her Mom flipping through pages of a spell book. Hinahagod pa nito ang daliri sa mga pahina as if it's been a long time since she touched it.

Flame stood there heaving, a chunk of energy was ripped out of her for running down the stairs in heels.

Tinignan lang siya nito as if she already expect Flame to be here. "I knew it would fit"
