Rapture (Elfin Series) Read Online Free PDF Page A

your castle, right?”
    Syndra nodded. “I used a little magic on them to keep them from thinking you were missing. It was suggestive magic, so whenever they thought of you the magic made them think they had actually seen you recently.” And you’ve been gone for a couple months. It’s January in the human realm.”
    “Holy crap two months, do you think the spell is still working?”
    “Should be—my magic is good as long as I’m alive. But it is still a good idea for you to actually see them. It will reinforce the magic when you aren’t there.”
    “I’m going to tell them ever ything.” Cassie met Trik’s eyes. “I don’t want to spend my life trying to hide this from them. If I’m going to be with you…,”
    “IF?” Trik nearly growled. “There is no if Cassie. You’re mine, period. If you want to tell your parents we will tell them. I will tell them everything and that you belong with me.”
    Cassie smiled. “Tell me how you really feel.”
    A sultry smirk danced across Trik's face. “I’d rather show you.”
    Syndra groaned, “Get a room.” S he snapped her fingers at Trik cutting off his reply. “After you save the world.”
    Cassie laughed.
    “I don’t think he can wait that long,” Tamsin joked.
    Cassie's laugh turned into a choked cough at Tamsin’s words. She glanced at Trik and saw the desire in his eyes and felt her face heat up. She shook her head at him. “We have to go to the human realm and talk to my parents,” she told him pointedly, “no time for messing around.”
    “Baby , there is always time for messing around,” Trik purred.
    “On that I have to agree with the assassin,” Syndra said with a wink.
    Trik stared at Cassie thoughtfully. He knew Cassie was right, but he hated the idea of her in danger, and at the moment he felt that anyplace not the light-elf castle was a danger to Cassie.
    “Okay,” he finally said, “w e’ll go back to your parents, but,” he held up a finger, “only to tell them the truth and then we’re coming right back here. We have battle plans to make.”
    Cassie smiled at him and wrapped her arms around him. “Thank you,” she whispered.
    Trik kissed her lips softly. “I love you.”
    She smiled. “I love you.”
    “Now that I think I’m going to vomit, can we go?” Syndra asked as she took Tamsin’s hand and headed towards the mirror walls.
    Tamsin looked at his warriors. “You all stay here in case the others return.”
    Beleg bowed his head. “Yes, My Lord.”
     
    Cassie followed Trik to the mirrors, each taking their respective places next to Tamsin and Syndra. They all took a step at the same time to go through the mirrors and they were all pushed back with a force so strong that they each landed on their butts.
    “ Dammit!” Trik yelled.
    “What does that mean?” Cassie asked as she stood and dusted off her clothes.
    “It means you’re not going back to Kansas, Dorothy,” Syndra said as she glared at the mirrored wall as if it had just royally insulted her.
    “And if we can’t get through to the human realm, that means Elora and the others are…”
    “ Screwed,” Syndra finished for her.
    The ground beneath them began to tremble , and Cassie had to brace herself to keep from falling over. She looked over at Trik and her mouth dropped open. He was hallowed in light and his long dark hair whipped around him as if it had a life of its own. His jaw was clenched tight and his face was the picture of barely contained rage.
    “Trik,” Cassie said his name softly as she moved towards him. She approached him like she would any predator, though she knew he would never hurt her. At least not on purpose.
    “I’m stuck here while Lorsan’s elves produce Rapture in the human realm and sell it to people in the casinos,” he growled. “What am I supposed to do from here?!”
    “What about Sanctuary?” Syndra asked. “Do you think the portals there are working?”
    Trik shook his head. “The portal we just traveled
