It took a while and two glasses of lemon glass iced tea for Phoebe to settle down and put away the unease from the crazy ghost therapist.
When the Saxon spirit tried to bring her up, Phoebe would not hear of it. She did not want to think about the woman ever again. Killing a child was an abomination to her.
Slowly, Phoebe and the spirit rearranged her office, putting everything back where it had been. When that task was completed, she left her cafe and took an elevator to her apartnt.
"How do you feel about tomorrow child?" The Saxon spirit asked on their way up.
Phoebe sighed, it was another subject she did not wish to discuss but also wanted to talk about at the sa ti. It was her birthday with the Mayfair's who were quite excited which also kind of made her excited.
She was aware that her parents especially her mother was planning a surprise for her. Phoebe was anticipating and dreading it at the sa ti.
"I am happy and grateful that i have people that love so i am excited for tomorrow but at the sa ti, i am scared because i don't know what to expect. It feels like it's my first birthday honestly, all the ones i spent with the Gabriels don't count."
She stepped out of the elevator and a little boy that was about to get on saw her. His eyes widened, he opened his mouth and let a loud scream before turning around and running away.
"Oh good lord!" Phoebe exclaid.
The Saxon spirit rolled her eyes, every now and then, sothing reminded them that not everyone was comfortable with the ghost seeing lady in the building.
"Building managent is going to get another complaint about ." she muttered.
Most of the people with children did not want her living in this building, they claid she scared their children. Phoebe thought it was ridiculous, it was not as if she had horns and red skin.
She made her way into her apartnt quickly to avoid bumping into more children. Inside, she opened the curtains and moved to the balcony. Her eyes imdiately studied David's apartnt, there was no movent inside.
It was strange that he hadn't called her since the previous night. Was he in so kind of trouble? She reached for her phone and dialed his number but it was off. The last thing he had told her was that he was traveling to magic city urgently in search of sothing important.
"If you are worried, you can look for him using the central map. If you had consummated you would have found him easily since you would be connected." Said the Saxon spirit.
On hearing it's words, Phoebe's eyes flew open. "Consummate? We are not married!" She placed a hand to her chest.
"Yet" The Saxon spirit added. "You must own him, make him yours. It's destiny and he is the unlimited charger, rember! if another woman with a yin body like yours gets her hands on him, i am afraid she will not let him go."
Phoebe remained silent picked her bag and left the apartnt hoping that she would not run into anyone. As always, she got the opposite of her wish. She run into Cassie Baltimore.
"Oh crap!" she whispered under her breath.
Bumping into the girl that loved to give her a tongue lashing was worse than bumping into the children that thought she was the devil.
Phoebe faced the girl, prepared to hear so insulting remarks and a whole lot of sarcasm. Physically, Cassie seed more relaxed than the last ti she had seen her. It seed the nightmares were completely gone, the girl had even put on so healthy weight.
"Hey, uhm, hanks for helping sleep better and chasing away the nightmares, I heard everything from Collin." Cassie spoke first.
Phoebe looked from side to side, turned around and finally faced the girl again. She even went so far as to touch her ears because she was surprised. Since when was Cassie Baltimore polite?
"Wow! it's a miracle or the world has turned upside down. I take it that I don't repel you anymore since you are talking to politely." Phoebe laughed briefly.
The girl stomped her right foot and blew air out of her mouth.
"You don't have to say it like that, i am not bad, i am polite."
Her actions were so similar to Connie's, it was not just her physical features but the behaviors as well.
"Anyway, I am sorry about my rude behavior, I know that I beca intolerable from the ti my dad died. I am not a bad child." Cassie curled her lip to one side.
Sadness clung onto Phoebe like a shadow. "I am sorry for your loss Cassie." Her voice was soft and asured.
Cassie shrugged. "It's okay, you don't have to say that, i don't like hearing it anyway. I have learnt to live with the pain, especially after my twin sister died shortly after my dad.
In fact that's when all the nightmares and headaches began but thanks again. Chao." She waved her fingers dramatically and left.
Phoebe raised her hand and opened her mouth to stop her and say sothing kinder but the girl was quite fast in her movent.
"Maybe i misjudged her." she whispered to herself as she made her way to the elevator.
Obviously, the girl had experienced a lot of tragedy in a short period of ti which was why she was the way she was. On the way ho, Phoebe only thought of Cassie, thoughts of the girl plagued her mind.
The poor girl's eyes spoke of unseen storms, reflecting a quiet ache that spoke louder than any words or shield she had wrapped around herself.
What would it take for her to heal? Losing a father and a twin sister at such a young age had to be painful.
"No wonder she is so ssed up, poor thing." Phoebe murmured.
Connie was unusually quiet, deep in thought. "Stop thinking about her, each ti i see that girl, anger surges within ."
The spirit stiffened. "Wait, are your mories back?"
Shaking her head, Connie said no and vanished.
"Why won't her mories return?" Phoebe asked.
"For many reasons, she is blocking them because they are too painful. And whatever it is, it's connected to the Baltimore's." The spirit spoke suspiciously.
Phoebe thought back to the words Cassie had said, especially the death of her sister. What if, just what if.....
"Dead twin!" she blurted out. "What if just what if it's Connie! The girls look too similar and behave in the sa way mostly. I think we should investigate this and see if there is a connection. The Baltimore's are from Eagle country, they moved here after these deaths. I think i will have to ask David for help, he has many connections in Eagle country."
The Saxon spirit smiled, her descendant was really making progress. He was Phoebe's go to person now, it would not take long for him to be her full ti man.
At the sa ti, the spirit was worried about Connie, she seed to hold a lot of resentnt for Cassie. Would it lead her down a dark path in future? What if she turned into an evil spirit?
"I need to help the girl control her emotions." The spirit muttered and vanished into the space to educate Connie.
