Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future by Neener Chapter 49
Kas’s POV
I can feel the lump in my throat give way into tears as Delhes into the apartment. She sets down
a
leather bag that looks like an old time doctor’s bag and takes my hands in hers.
“Kas, what happened?” she asks. Her face is fills with worry. Lenora is rubbing soothing circles on my
back.
“I had a vision, Delh, it was awful, ” I begin to sob and copse against her. Delh wipes my tears
with her sleeve as she shushes me, rocking me gently in her arms. Her movement makes me realize I
flinched when Bronx tried to do the same thing just a few moments ago. Why did I do that? Was it
because of the premonition? My heart aches thinking that I did that
because of something Bronx didn’t actually do. It was just in my head.
I look around and realize he isn’t in the room. “Bronx?” I look around, “Where did he go?“
“I think he feels guilty for pping you, ” Lenora growls in annoyed tone. She has a hand on her hip
taking a judgemental stance.
“p me? Don’t be ridiculous. Bronx would never hit me, Lenora, ” I defend my mate with a little growl.
“Kas, I saw it. We all did.“
“I don’t remember. I can’t believe it would happen, ” I shake my head in denial.
“Okay, if you don’t remember, that’s probably for the best. How about you and Delh sit down so you
can tell her what your premonition was, Kas. I’ll mind link my brother and see if I can get him back
here,” Lenora
reassures me, “Don’t worry about him.“
I let Delh lead me to the sofa while Lenora contacts Bronx.
“Alright, Luna lokaste. May I connect with your mind?” Delh asks. She uses my formal title indicating
she needs to have control over my mind.
“Yes, please, before the memory fades. I already feel like I am starting to forget the details of it,” I sniff
away thest of my tears.
“Alright. This will be easier if you close your eyes and concentrate on the vision. I’m going to recite an
incantation. The more I speak, the less you will be aware of your surroundings. There is a possibility
that you will feel like you’re in that moment again. I know it will be scary, but I need you to let yourself
relive it. You may see me as a ghost in your peripheral vision if you try to look around. This is normal. I
will be observing details you may not be able to because of the traumatizing nature of the event, ” she
exins.
Lenoraes over to the sofa, “Bronx is having a tantrum. He won’t speak to me, but he’s fine. We
just need to give him a little time, then I will send Milo and Reggie after him. They know how to talk to
him when he gets in one of these moods.“

“Beta Lenora, I’m going to perform magic on Luna I okaste. It may look scary, but whatever happens is
normal, I assure you. I don’t know how long it will take, but I need you to make sure we are not
interrupted.
Ending the link too early can be…well… bad.“
“You got it,” Lenora says. She goes and locks the door to the apartment andes back to observe
Delh.
I nod and sit on the sofa cross-legged, facing the witch who has be my best friend and close my
eyes. I feel her hands press gently against the sides of my head and she begins to murmur words in a
language I don’t understand. An odd sensation
I wake up in bed in a cold sweat. I ‘m aware that I’m in my premonition, but I can’t stop the events from
ying out. I look around and I swear I see Delh standing just out of my vision but turning my head
to face her doesn’t work. She is always just out of my line of sight. I try to say her name but the word
disolves like dust in my mouth. Once again, I relive the horror as Saint possesses Bronx’s body and the
last flicker of life leaves my body.
I gasp as I open my eyes wide, back in reality. Delh looks at me with tears in her eyes. She pulls me
in for a deep hug.
” It’s going to be okay, Kas. It may not seem like it right now, but it’s going to be okay, ” Delh sniffs
tears away.
“Are you girls alright?” Lenora is sitting on the floor
next to the sofa looking up at us before looking at her watch.
“I’m okay. Are you okay, Delh? I ‘in so sorry you had to experience that,” I soothe. It’s my turn to wipe
her tears.
”Kas, please, let me take this fear out of your mind. I have everything I need to ry to my mother so
we can figure out how to keep you and your mate safe from, well, from whatever triggers that to
happen.”
”I won’t remember at all?” I ask.
”You will remember , but it will just be an awareness. It won’t feel scary like it does now, ” she nods
while she is exining, “It’splex magic and taking away
someone’s emotions kind of falls in the gray magic area of light and dark but I think in this case, it’s for
the best. I am sure Lady Camille would agree.”
”Alright, please take it away, ” I nod. I don’t even have to think about it. I understand Delh telling mee
this is gray magic means it is going to take a lot out of her and she will need to have a cleansing
ceremony performed, but I trust her. She wouldn’t offer it to me if she didn’t believe it was necessary, “
I don’t want to feel this way about my mate. He hasn’t actually done anything.”
She and Lenora stand and go to the kitchen. I overhear bits and pieces of Delh describing what
happened in the vision and Lenora mentioning PTSD. Theye back with Delh holding her
doctor’s bag, cing it on the coffee table. She pulls out several bottles of liquid and pouches of herbs.
She hands Lenora an empty ss and starts filling it with the variousponents. As I watch her
skillfully concoct the potion, her ocean blue eyes turn darker and darker until they are almost navy blue.
As thest ingredient touches the rest of the potion, it turns from muddy brown to an acid green.
Lenora’s eyes widen at the sight, holding the ss far in front of her, “What are you going to do with
this?“
“Kas needs to drink it,” Delh says, her voice so deep, it’s almost unrecognizable. She takes the ss
from Lenora and hands it to me. I take a sniff and almost gag. It smells of filth and rot. It reminds me of
my former bedroom in the dungeon of the Silver Moon packhouse.
Delh stands up and moves behind me.
“Kas, you are going to feel me touch your head. It is going to feel a bit like a heavy kiss. You need to
drink the liquid without stopping. Down to thest drop,” she says with the altered tone in her voice.
“A-alright, ” I sigh nervously. “Go ahead.“
I feel a pressure against the crown of my head. It almost feels like something has passed through my
skull and ispping at my brain. I pinch my nose closed with my free hand and start gulping down the
vile liquid. It is thick and chunky as I force it down m y throat. When I am sure the ss is empty, I set it
down and start gagging. The pressure on my head dissipates. I feel better. I look at Lenora who looks
mortified. She is looking at Delh with a mix of disgust and disbelief, maybe even a bit of fear too, but I
know Lenora doesn’t fear anything.
I turn to see what she is looking at.
” NO! ” they yell at the same time. Delh puts her hands on my head pushing it back to face front.
I hear slimy gagging noisesing from behind me, then silence. Delh lets go of my head and
flumps down on the sofa, finally letting me turn around.
She looks like all her energy ispletely spent. I help her lean back on a pillow and grab my gray and
green nket for her. It always makes me feel better when I am exhausted.
“I -is that what you actually look like? ” Lenora asks, “Is what we see now a mour? I -I’m not trying to
be disrespectful or anything, I just want to
understand what I just saw, Delh.“
“What you saw is what my soul would look like if I were to let dark magic consume me. If a witch
sumbs to the enticements of dark magic, eventually, who she is on the inside manifests on the
outside, sooner orter, that is what you would see when you looked at me. An old
disfigured hag, ” Delh says sleepily, ” It is temporary in this case. When I go home for a visit, we will
perform a cleansing ritual for my spirit.
“I see. Okay. Thank you for telling me,” Lenora nods but still looks tentative.
“In other matters, that little Vulcan mind meld you two were stuck in, well, that took a long time, ”
Lenora informs us.
“What do you mean by a long time?” I ask.
“It’s one -thirty in the morning,” she looks at her watch.
“What? We were in there for over seven hours?” I ask in disbelief, “Where’s Bronx?”
“Take it easy, Kas. He’s going to be okay. Let’s get James to take Delh home, then I can take you to
Bronx.”
