Chapter 7

Gabrielle

“How are you doing Gabrielle,” Abram asked.

He’d asked for me to come to his office after lunch so here I was.

“Good, I’m okay. Today was really good.” I nodded with enthusiasm.

Maybe a little too much enthusiasm. Much more than I felt given that another two weeks had passed and not much happened.

Claire had given Pru the task of teaching me the basic elements of magic but it still wasn’t what I wanted, or hoped for. It was just a little better than going on a school trip to the Smithsonian and being told what happened to people and all the artifacts that were held there. But, nothing more. I wasn’t even shown how to do a simple spell because Pru said I had to give my mind time to adjust to the concept of spells.

“I like being here,” I added with a brighter smile.

“That’s really good, and I’m pleased to hear that. I’m mindful too that you must be eager for more. Pru tells me you’ve been researching a lot which is very good.”

“I’ve been reading a lot. It helps with the lessons she’s teaching me. I can’t wait to get to the meaty stuff.”

He nodded his approval. “What have you read so far?”

“Mainly the History of Witchcraft, and spells and potions.”

“Fantastic. That sounds like you’ll be equipped.” His blue eyes looked me over with keen interest. “I’d like to still take my time with you while we investigate. The mind is a fragile thing. Give it too much and it will resist. I felt the council meeting would give you the opportunity to see different types of beings and magical creatures.”

It was funny, he sounded like he meant well. That was the impression I got. He sounded like he knew what he was doing, and like a leader you could trust. There was something though ... something that tugged on my senses that made me cautious around him.

“I appreciated it. I am eager though as you say to get going. I want to learn and see what powers I have.” Other than the ones I was using to my advantage with Tristan. For the last two weeks I’d done as he’d said. At lunch time I’d go to sleep and be with him in the dream world and at night I’d be with him for real in his bed. It really was crazy, but we indulged on our dirty secret like we needed it to live. I got to really be me when I was with him, but I wanted to know more. “Everyone around me has so much power. I just want to fit in I guess.”

“Of course, and you’re quite right to be eager. I would be too if I were you. However, I must insist that you wait and hold off doing too much. Just until we know more ourselves.”

I bit the inside of my lip. I’d been here for three weeks and he was still telling me to wait. It was getting frustrating.

“More about what?” I had to ask.
