The life and times of Cassandra “Cassie” Wentz…
December 7th, 2006
I’m leaving. I can’t stand living here anymore. It’s unbearable. I’ve had yet another argument with mother. She totally blew my chances of scoring a major fashion deal. I was so close to getting a contract, but then she went and blew it. She turned a meeting down with one of the most influential figures in fashion down. Who was she to do that?! It was my phone call. MINE! And she answered and told them she didn’t think I was interested. I tried to call them back but it was too late. Well that’s it…me and mother have never been on good terms but this was the final straw. She’s ruined my life for far too long! I don’t know why she does it. It’s like she hates me. She’s acts like she’s a good mother, hiding behind that facade of sweetness which everyone seems to fall for. But I know the real her. She’s jealous. She hates the fact that I am an elemental. Not her. She is just a common gypsy, nothing special really. She doesn’t even have any real power. It must kill her that already I’ve passed her in terms of power. That I will achieve something in life.
I’m leaving tonight. I’ve got all my stuff packed and in the car. It’s all ready. I’m moving to a little coastal town called Sekhmet. Its sounds just what I need. Away from the hustle and bustle of New York. It’s where the legendary Bronte sisters live too…that’s what made me think of the place. I just thought – if I’m leaving, then why not go to the epicentre of all magic? The place where normal witches become legend? It’s what I’d love to achieve after all. And I will. One day I will be as powerful and renowned as the Bronte sisters! Mother will eat her heart out…

I’ve learned so much about myself today. It’s amazing how much I didn’t know. Well I always knew I was an Elemental, it’s pretty much all my mother harped on about - but I am ‘the’ Elemental. The Spirit Elemental that was prophesized to bring great power upon their arrival. Part of the chosen five that are destined to vanquish Lavena, once and for all. Talk about pressure…
The prophecy came true too. They all surrounded me and held hands, and then this brilliant glow engulfed us. You could just feel the raw power emanating from it. The others received new powers, ones that complimented the ones they already have. I didn’t though, which was a little disappointing…but all good things come to those who wait. A long with that, we all received a telepathic link and power boosts. Hopefully these will be enough to kill Lavena. If not, then goddess knows what we will do! I think we will succeed though. I had my doubts at first, but after that glow…well it was like all my worries were washed away. It was intense.
I still can not forgive my mother for denying me the knowledge of my destiny though. Morgana revealed to me that there was a prophecy on my mother’s side, one that basically spelt out that it was I who was this Elemental. She must have known, she just must have! Yet she didn’t tell me. Why? Because she is a selfish, jealous old hag. It’s just like her to try and deny me my birth right. She’s always been envious of everything I’ve had. My powers, my career, my boyfriends…she’s sabotaged everything in my life! She was even so jealous of the connection I had with father that she vanquished him. So what if he was a warlock?! He wasn’t evil. Not properly evil. He didn’t kill, at least not to my knowledge. He was the best father in the world and she took him from me. I wish all the misfortune in the world upon her!
But I learned something else new today. Something about the events that set in motion my father’s demise. It was because of a witch – Tyranna. She turned my father into a warlock in an attempt to break up my mother and him. It didn’t work…not that it matters. In a way I almost wish it had worked. Maybe my father would still be here today if it had. Maybe I could have gone away with him - away from mother. But, she was part of it. She was part of why he died. And because of this I will make her pay. Morgana promised me that she’d help me find her. And when I do, I’ll do something much worse than vanquishing her. Now with the Elemental’s on my side, I could too. I have the power to do anything I wish, inflict any punishment I see fit.
