Tasting Darkness

Chapter 88

Book 2 Chapter 9 Aleera POV Tobias asked me to step forward , and I did . My bond became excited , and I stamped it down , forcing it back . I knew they felt it , but when I felt Darius’s presence moving closer , I didn’t want him to feel my reaction to my mates . H So it was no surprise when I felt him stop behind me . ” Hold your hands out , ” Tobias whispers , then his eyes dart over my shoulder . I glance back at Darius . He leans against the door frame , watching us , but I turn my attention back to Tobias and focus on the casting he was about to show me . Tobias holds his hands out above mine , and I watch the air between his hands ripple and thicken . A picture forms and my magic wants to latch on to him , and it does .

He transfers the strange sphere into my hands , and it hovers above my palms .

It was a stupid question to ask . ” So , how does one break out of the spell of a cast ? ” Tobias asked before the sphere was suddenly wrapped around my face , blinding me to the rest of the classroom . Forest scenery surrounded me , and I could vividly see and hear , even smell , everything . The classroom completely disappeared , and I stumbled forward . I could even hear the crickets chirping , the sound of the soft breeze , and feel it like it was real , the air thick and moist , and the ground smelled of moist soil .
