Chapter Seventeen

Settled in his protective wards, seated across from Cassie with her hands in his, Bosco reached out his magic. This time he was prepared for the trace of the black coiling through Cassie’s golden aura. He’d set up personal shields, keeping himself from going too deep. He’d even set up a glamour within his own aura, one that acted like a mirror, so the black oily spell wouldn’t even see him. He was able to really look at the blackness, and he could see what it was. A spell, twined into and around her aura, keeping her from accessing certain parts of herself. And it wasn’t a passive spell. It was alert and on the hunt.

“What do you see?” Cassie’s voice seemed far away.

“I see the spell in your aura. It’s complex. I think it’s doing much more than keeping you from your memories.”

“There’s a spell there? It’s not trauma?”

“No.” The spell was everywhere. “If I try to take it down, we’ll have the queen all over us.”

“She put a spell in my head?”

“In your aura, your magical soul. I’ll see what I can see.” He tiptoed metaphysically closer, holding his glamour up and shielding heavily. He’d touched her aura by mistake earlier when he’d saved her ball, and now he saw he must have jostled the spell. “It’s keeping you from your Gift, for sure.” He looked closer. “I can see recent memories.” He saw himself at the ball, dancing with her. Further back, dinner after dinner with the courtiers. Cassie escaping a leering man’s embrace and running up the castle stairs to lock herself in her room. Anger rushed through him and his fists clenched.

“Ow!”

“Sorry.” He loosened his grip. “These are all recent memories. Nothing from your past. Nothing from before.”

“Well, where are they?”

He pulled out. “I don’t know. I didn’t dare go too deep, I don’t want to trigger an alarm. But it’s not guarding your memories. All the recent ones are there. It’s simply keeping you from your Gift.”

“You have to try again. If it’s not the spell then maybe it is a trauma keeping me from my memories.”

He delved in again, this time avoiding the black spell and heading directly into the deep golden mists of Cassie’s aura. Sweet and seductive her essence curled around his but he kept himself aloof, merely looking deeper and deeper into her personality so as not to alert the spell that had tiny tendrils threaded into the gold like drips of tar. He was so focused on avoiding the vicious coils of the spell that he almost missed it, a gleaming thread of gold running out of her aura, connecting her to something else.

He broke off the connection.

“They’re not here.”

“What do you mean?”

“Your memories aren’t here. You can’t access them and I can’t help you access them, because they’ve been moved.”

She frowned. “Well, who moved them?”

“I think it was you.”

“Why the hell would I cut myself off from remembering who I am?”

“It may be from trauma. Or it could be you knew you were under attack, but there’s no doubt you did this to yourself.
