// = Flashback Well Enjoyed!!

We sat together, in our circle. The three of us. Dianna, Alexis and myself, an incomplete circle. Missing Spirit and Water. Mina and Bindi. Although Mina represented Fire, as leader she led as Spirit. Ever since the the true spiritual personification Water was lost, Bindi took it's place as Ice or Snow, for no one can take the place of a true incarnation.

Alexis had come as soon as she had finished teaching a children's ballet dance class. They both sat in silence absorbing the information I had just presented. Reacting far more differently then how Ace had. Memories of the past resurfacing, they understood the true severity of the situation.

// "So Sunny," Dianna had questioned suspiciously. "What do'ya gotta say?" Alexis had leaned forward in her Indian style sitting position, as we sat together in Dianna's small fenced in backyard.

"I found my- met my-" I stuttered, not wanting to say those words. It would make it too real. Too law binding. "My soulmate.." I stared down not wanting to meet Dianna's shocked gaze or Alexis's horrified stare. //

"No." Alexis muttered, breaking the eerie silence. "No!" She repeated loudly.

"Lex don't wor-" I coaxed as I placed my hand on her hand. She ripped it away leaving me hurt.

"Soley, a-are you sure?" Dianna asked softly, the quietest I'd ever heard her. I thought back. To this morning when my eyes met him.

Oh Eileithyia, oh Isis, Bastet bless me. Here we go again.

That connection. I felt that wave of delicious Power, hot and sweet. Coursing through my veins. Being struck by that distilled lightening. More amazing than any magic I had ever seen, felt or ever casted.

The very thought left me dazed, completely breathless. All I could do was nod dreamily. My skin felt like it was being brushed by expensive silk or soft velvet.

"No. This can't be. The council. Oh NO!" Lexi cried out hysterically. "The Crones! The Council of the Ancients. They come after you, trial you, then execute you!"

"No," Dianna said sternly. "Soliel is too powerful and valuable to be destroyed. They'd would go after the Cupio Adamo Amor."

My body froze. Love. It was forbidden among the Realm. "Don't fall in love with the toys." That's what Bindi had told me. But after Mina fought for it and won, makes me wonder. Is this the feeling she had fought so strongly for, Andrew Cullen seems to think so. The vamp is so deeply in love with that witch, if he could dream it would be of her.

Which makes me wonder more. As far, as my memories of this life and my past lives go, I'd had known the same thing. Witch's don't feel love, only lust. And yet, they call it the Soul Mate Principle.

Okay, I may have never felt this way before. But, I think I can tell the difference between The Soul Mate Principle and Witch's fever. Which is, by the way, basically what Ace can't control...

The very thought of Seth being hurt, pained me. But, unsuspectingly, put me in a red tinged rage. No one will get to him. That's a promise.

"We're leaving." Dianna confirmed, pulling me out of my reverie.

"That's a good idea." Alexis agreed. "The distance will heal the broken connection."

Broken connection?

"What?" I asked, surprising myself. I feel so...so awful.

"After you break the connection with him or make him fall in love with someone else, you'll need to to heal." Lexi explained. Some say she was Aphrodite's reincarnation. An expertise in love spells and enchantments.

Time to heal? Time to mend a broken heart.

I took a deep breath. Trying to get some oxygen into my lungs.

"I..I don't..want to go." My voice came out as a whisper. But in my mind it was a scream. "Please, I want to stay."

"Soley, you sound like the chick from Paranormal Activity." Dianna said jokingly, but in a serious tone.

"Sole if you don't break the connection now, it'll be worse when you do it later."

I took a deep, calming breath, "I know, but we're safe-" "For now." Dianna muttered, looking away. "and the Elders don't know anything. I won't expose us." I continued.

A small smile spread across my lips. "Plus, I wanna get to know him." I felt a blush come across my face. Heating my chilled face. My breath visible in the cold evening.

"Awww, Soley Your blushing!" Dianna giggled.

Lexi huffed, "He better be hot-no he better be sexy!"

My mind reeled, going back to earlier today. His onyx eyes, raven black lush hair, tanned skin. I wondered how it would feel to have those strong arms around me. Again my thoughts to thoughts I'd never thought of before.

I looked up to meet Alexis's eyes and smiled. But instantly frowned.

Stacee fuckin' Hall.

Ugh. I hate her. No. I loathe her!

I put my head in my hands, "But, he's dating Stacee!"

"What's his name?" Dianna interrogated.

"Seth Clearwater." I said loving the way his name seem to roll off my tongue.

"Ohhhhh," Lexi said, eyes closed and nodding. "Yep. He sure is."

"So what!" Dianna yelled exasperated, hands extended towards the sky, sending a rumble of thunder through the dark evening, coulds. "Steal him away."

"You know, I'd never do that!"

"Seduce him?"

"OR THAT!" I gasped. "You sound worse than Ace."

"Hehe. I know." She giggled. "Oh. Now I miss him."

"I don't." Lexi said disgusted.

I laughed, falling back into the soft grass. I wonder..

If what I feel is real..

Or is it just another manipulative dream..
