True Cyan

strange encounters p-33

the shackles that where tormenting her in her dreams had left her and now this morning sun brought will and determination. She needed to do her best and give this her all, she needed to not waver the things that needed to be done where a lot and consuming.

Maybe a time would come for tears to flow . And she only wanted the flow out of happiness and not fear. a happiness she wanted to feel.

she looked at the door and he emerged from it , the scent of his perfume lingered through out the room. It was like an announcement of his presence . It did call for attention and she listened to it.

he looked at her and smiled showing her his beautiful face. Cyan felt her heart move in its place. His presence shook her and everything in her, he was the only man that could bring her head out of her messy world and into his world of nothing but love.

he walked to her and kissed her on her forehead and on her cheek. A gesture she now enjoyed , it was as if every time he kissed her he was claiming her to be his and his alone. Cyan felt his lips were always telling her his longing for her.

and she longed for him too.

When he pulled away to breath, he looked into her eyes and asked

"Are you doing the spell today?"

Cyan nodded her head in agreement.

"Get ready ...ill wait for you down stairs".

She looked at him in wonder, was he going to stay while she does that. It was complicated but the thought of him being there gave her comfort like always.

She nodded her head again, speaking around him sometimes was useless, he rendered her speechless.

"Okay my princess"

princess , he saw her as a princess while she saw herself a monster.

she looked at his figure while he walked out of the room, she knew exactly what he was going to do down stairs. Have food arranged for her. This man sometimes forgot she was not like him and that she did not eat like they did . But she did not complain she knew he only did that cause he cared about her wellbeing.

After she showered , Cyan got dressed wearing a black short flared dress with a black turtles neck sweater underneath the dress , black tights and black boots. Her hair pulled into a bun pieces of her hair fell to the side. She stood and stared at herself in the mirror.

Self affirmations she did not know how to do so, but her heart felt right.

Aidden stood in the center of the room. David and Rose where seated waiting for breakfast on the dining table. He noticed Rose seemed to be in a better mood than yesterday. maybe they resolved there differences .

He looked up the stairs and there she stood. Even from a distance , he felt her aura , it was not ice cold. Its was just like yesterday but a little bit stronger. he found it fascinating that he could tell her mood just by her aura. She descended the stairs and he extended his hand to welcome her, she placed her hand in his palm. He gave her a reassuring smile. All was going to be well.

he led her towards the dining table,

"Cyan...good morning"

Rose got up and greeted her, she walked to her and gave her a hug. Cyan also hugged her back.

"Black? are you going to a funeral.?"

Rose teased.

"no...just to cast some spells"

Cyan replied to her.

" Don't be funny Cyan...come sit next to me"

they all sat on the table and ate their breakfast. After they where done.

It was time for them to go to work.

David was going to drop Rose at her work before going to his.

"Are you driving Aidden??"

David asked.

"am not working today"

Aidden answered.

David was surprised , why would Aidden not go for work. Not that it was important but he never missed work so casually.

"why not ?"He asked him.

"i have person matters to attend to"

Aidden replied .

David looked at him and the looked at Cyan.

he knew that it had something to do with Cyan somehow every change in his friend had to do with her . He did not stop suspecting her.

"i guess we will see each other later"

Rose spoke. both her and David walked out of the house.

Cyan felt guilty for holding Aidden back from his work. And as if he read her thoughts he walked over to her and said. "don't worry ill go there once we take care of the spell ...its the most important thing right.?"

she agreed , it was the most important thing and they had to do it without any delay.

"There are something's that i need to use"

"Ill have them arranged"

Aidden listened to the things Cyan needed for the task and he ordered someone to get them, it was not a lot of things ...just some knives and salt.

He held her hand as they walked back to the edge of where the property began in the same spot she sat yesterday.

She looked at Aidden and looked back on the ground, Cyan knew exactly what to do she saw everything her grandmother did in that memory. But something did confuse her. When her grandmother performed that spell, she never lost her energy like she does ever time she did magic. Was it because she was not a full witch.

She knelt on the ground while Aidden stood a few feet behind her. She did want him too close afraid that she might maybe make a mistake her spell casting abilities weren't flawless.

she did everything she saw in her memories. Blowing the dirt in the air and mixing some of it with the salt. And cutting her hand dropping her blood on it. Then after she drew a pattern on the ground. She closed her eyes and chanted the same things her grandmother did every word to word. Cyan waited for a few seconds but the spell did not hold. She closed her eyes again to focus on the ground drawing energy from the tress and the grass. She could feel the connection of earth magic but she could not capture it into the spell.

she wondered were she went wrong if she did everything her grandmother did . What was she missing. She got up from the ground feeling hopeless. She looked ahead into forest trying to understand why she could not draw earth magic. Was she really filled with dark magic just like everyone said.she turned around and looked at Aidden "its not working"

she said biting her bottom lip sadly

He moved closer to her and held her shoulders.

"Don't feel sad...just give it some time...be patient"

he said to her. Off course he would say that this man was always calm. She wondered why he never lost control of his emotions.

Cyan breathed deeply trying to clear her mind. Should she go back in her memories , maybe she missed something. But doing that would make her waste a lot of time and energy.

she breathed deeply inhaling the air into her lungs. She ran the memory in her head every detail of it. Then it hit her, her grandmother used both her blood and young Cyan's .

maybe she needed the blood of two witches to complete the spell. the blood of a witch with earth magic.

"The blood of two"

"what?"

Aidden asked.

"my grandmother the woman who raised me.....she used her blood and mine to do the spell and that's why its worked...am only using mine maybe that's why its not working....and if that's the case then we need to find another witch....am that's impossible"

Cyan knew finding a witch was not impossible but finding one that would help her was close to impossible, witches hated her and feared what was in her.

Aidden was silent for a moment he did not understand anything about spells or magic but he knew that this was important to Cyan she had been worried about this since they got back.

He walked passed her and stood where the circle was. He watched the pattern carefully it did not make sense in his head it was like watching an alien language or a drawing.

While Cyan was thinking about what to do next, he picked up a knife and cut in his palm.

it sting a little and blood flowed from it.

"what are you doing?"

she spoke trying to hold his bleeding hand. Aidden moved in away before she could even touch it.

"Aidden-!!!!!"

he ignored her and let his blood drop on the pattern that was drawn on the ground. It continued to flow while Cyan yelled for him to stop but he did not. He did not know why he did that but seeing her so worried made him upset he did not like that.

Immediately his blood mixed on the ground. the wind around them started blowing lifting up the leaves from the ground circling them. It grew stronger and stronger as if it wanted to lift them off the ground.

Aidden used his hand and grabbed her hand pulling her close to his chest protectively from the wind. He held her head in place and hugged her. The wind continued blowing while they held each other.

the trees where shaking there branches and birds flew from the forest. It grew stronger moving all around the entire premisses of the property surrounding it all the way through the forest. After a few minutes it slowly died down. Settling gently on the ground.

Aidden did not know how but he could feel it around them. The spell worked ...it was something he could not explain. He did not see it but he knew it was there like an invisible weapon around.

Cyan was in a wreck when she saw Aidden cut his palm and drop his blood on the ground , she was worried that something would happen to him, tempering with this kind of spell could be deadly for a human but in the end what happened shocked her . The spell actually worked.

that was something she could not explain. The moment his blood mixed with hers and everything on the ground. It rose from the ground stronger than anything she had ever seen. And that was not the only thing. Cyan did not lose her energy or become weak. And neither did Aidden. This was so strange, first the memory wiping spell did not work on him and now his blood actually made the spell work.

just what was he, who is Aidden??. Cyan never felt anything different about him except for the fact that he was human now she was sure there had to be more to him than just that. There had to be more to this man. witches vampires or werewolves could feel when one of them was there own. But with him she did not sense he belonged anywhere. He was more of a mystery to her.

"are you okay?"

he asked her.

"Yes am fine ..are you ?"

she asked him back and he nodded his head.

"it worked ...the spell worked...but how i thought it needed the blood of two witches;"

Cyan spoke, was she wrong?? unlikely .

"maybe it just needed the blood of two people" Aidden answered

that was also an explanation but Cyan knew it was not likely but she did not want to over think things. What mattered was that the spell was up and around this house.

now she could sleep in peace knowing that they would not break into this house and attack them at night.

The first step had been taken though she had a long way to go, it was still a good start.the other spells around Aidden , Rose and David where still working so she did not worry to much about them being out. But Cyan needed to move fast some spells don't last forever and anyone strong enough can break them.

"we need to start digging for answers about the past. Its the only way we will know what to do , and no matter how hard it will be ....we need to find allies somewhere out there....others might be willing to fight against the true bloods."

Cyan said.

"yes , where do we start"

Aidden asked , he was like a stodgier ready to give everything this battle.

"what about your Hospital??"

"The hospital is fine....it does not need my attention for now and if anything, Dave will handle it, important things first hmmh?"

she agreed with him.

"Tomorrow is the full moon, so we will start the day after. there are some werewolves that live in the north side of this country . I've heard of the Levian Clan. maybe we can start our search from there"

"alright ...but today ...i have something better for us to do"

Aidden said and carried her into his arms.

"whats that??"Cyan asked.

"how far does the spell cover from here??"

he did not answer her question.

"all the way till the mountains..."

she pointed into the distance.

"okay then"

he said carrying her back to the house.

Aidden did not want to waste any time when it came to being with her, after the full moon they would be traveling to the north and they would encounter a lot of challenges along there way so before they went, he wanted them to have some fun.the only safe place they had were within these boundaries. He planed to take them on a little adventure in the woods.
