Casters of Oblivion

Disclaimer: I do not own the Twilight Saga

Chapter 7: December

It was December twenty-first. I was busy in my room this morning to confirm I have everything prepared for the holidays. Of course my flight wouldn't be until five o'clock. But Zelena insisted I go to school and would pick me up and dropped me off at Port Angeles airport. It was impossible to hold back my excitement since the last time I saw my family was the end of summer vacation.

By Caster Law, dependents that are at a certain age must live with another caster away from family. Basically it was supposed to keep distractions at bay. My grandfather was an exception since he was qualified to be my mentor and he had loopholes in seeing my family on weekends. But now living in Forks with Zelena visitation were during the summer and winter holidays.

Although, I do worried about Ginger. Her mom, Betsy was going to come over from New Orleans to celebrate Christmas with Ginger. Yet Ginger hasn't snapped out of her catatonic state. One time when I went downstairs to get a snack, I listen to Zelena talking on the phone. I could assume it was the Council or Cordelia Foxx in discussion about Ginger's mental condition. The longer the girl's emotions are depressed the higher the chances of backfire suicide. As much as I would like Ginger to stay here as my coven sister…except she is no longer the same.

"Eleanor, come on it's time to go!" Zelena called out.

Double checking on my suitcase I took my luggage down to the main room. There was already a Christmas tree by the corner of the living room with mild decoration all around. Ginger was sitting by the couch gazing at the fireplace watching the flames come alive.

"Excited for the holidays?" I asked Ginger.

Ginger turned her head looking at me then shrugs. What is the point anymore? Sometimes I wonder why I even bother. These past few months she has barely spoken to me other than minor conversation or chanting spells. Maybe I should give up and focus on my friends.

Anyway, Zelena came out of the kitchen handing me a poptart before forcing us out of the house. We were all taking her Hybrid to school and she'll pick us off then dropped me off at the airport. So putting my suitcase in the trunk, I sat in the passenger seat waiting for the winter break to begin.

.o0o.

"I'll see you girls around three." Zelena said.

Ginger and I got out of the car and nodded. Closing the door, Ginger immediately headed inside the school. I adjusted my coat as snow began to fall before meeting up with my friends. The gang wanted to talk about winter break. The guys were thinking of going to Vancouver or some sort of ski resort for the weekend. Even though I won't be going, it's nice to hear them talk.

"Ella!" Somebody called out.

I gawked as I turned around to see Jacob standing in the middle of the parking lot. The sight of him made me giddy inside as I ignored my friends and rushed over to Jacob. We haven't seen each other this past week due to exams and the weather. Of course we have our usual calls and emails, but being around Jacob is like being close to the sun in the state of Washington. Jacob chuckled as he gave me a hug though did his annual spin around.

"Jacob, what are ya doing here?" I asked after he put me down.

"Came to see you?" Jacob answered.

"What about school?" I asked, worried he was ditching class.

"Winter break started Monday." He answered, and it is Wednesday.

"Of course, though you should switch schools. Come hang out with the palefaces." I teased.

Jacob laughed shaking his head, "I'm alright. I prefer the Rez schools exclusivity. They let any old riffraff into this place."

"Huh, so why aren't you hanging out with Quil and Embry?" I asked.

"I was just buying a part for the bikes." Jacob answered proudly.

"Reconstruction going well I presumed." I instigated.

"Um. Yeah," Jacob hesitated. Of course we laughed since those bikes will take longer to restoration than a normal motorcycle. "Hey, Merry Christmas. Since you're going back home for the holidays I thought I should give you your gift."

"Jake, you didn't have too." I started.

Jacob shook his head as he pulled something out of his coat pocket. "I saw this the other day and thought of you." It was a small dreamcatcher with couple of charms: a wolf, bird talon, seashell, beads, and a crystal. "Catches bad dreams."

He handed me the dream catcher which I took in gratitude. Small tokens like these actually work in Caster society. It depends on the craftsmanship and material used to create such a powerful charm. And by the looks of it, this one is surely workable. Let alone it brought memories of my grandmother Evangeline. "It's lovely, thank you."

"No problems." Jacob said with a huge smile on his face.

"Uh, I don't have yours with me…sorry." I said.

"It's alright, though there is one way you could repay me?" He suggested.

"And what is that?" I asked.

Jacob took something else out of his pocket and hung it over our heads. I couldn't help but laugh in seeing the mistletoe tied in a red ribbon. It has been noted that Jacob has a crush on me, the same feelings in return for him. However, do to me being a witch and him an average person I tried to keep the boundaries. Afraid that both of us will get hurt once I completed my training and the semi-immortality.

Though, it would be wrong leaving the boy hanging there. So with a nod, I moved forward and gave Jacob a simple peck on the lips. Suddenly there was a surge of electricity causing both of us to step back and rubbed our lips from the unexpected shock.

"Um, I'll see you on January third?" I said, awkwardly.

"Yeah," Jacob agreed as we gave each other a hug.

We said our goodbyes as Jacob headed back towards his Rabbit while I went to school keeping the dreamcatcher close. The kiss had a major impact on me or at least had me debating if it was your typical conducting electricity moment or something else? As I enter the school Jessica and Angela were all over me, well more like Jessica. Asking who that boy was, if he was my boyfriend, how long have we been seeing each other?

I know it's short, but I couldn't think of anything else.
