And Then There Were Four (Lilith Carrie)

One may have thought my mind was in the gutter, but it wasn't. I enjoyed Trixie's company even though she was energetic at times and often annoyed others around her. To me, I found it comforting to be around her. Maybe the mate bond pulled me closer to her, or maybe it was just because she was a nice girl and our conversations were usually entertaining.

Taking a moment to consider what I offered her, she smiled, nodding her head with her hands clasped behind her back. "Sure, I mean, from what I heard, you suck at magic."

Laughter escaped me at her words, and though at one point in time I would have been pissed by what she said, I wasn't. She had a point, and in all honesty, my magic was nowhere as strong as my sisters.

"Well, maybe with your tutoring, I won't suck."

As we walked up the steps to the building Cassie and I stayed in, I carried on the same casual conversation I had with her before. From magic spells to summoning objects, she filled me in on everything going on and also what I was doing wrong. "No, you're not supposed to do that. You need to take deep breaths before releasing..."

"Is that right?" I asked her as we stepped into my room. Her mischievous eyes rolled as she shoved me a little and began to let her eyes scan my room, taking in every inch of what I had around that gave way to who I was.

"You have so much stuff," she murmured, letting her fingers dance along the photos on the wall and the items on my dresser. Since being here, I had been able to get someone under Odin to acquire a few more things from my home, including family photos and sentimental items.

All things Cassie had no idea I had gotten, seeing as she was being a bitch to me.
