Allison sat quietly, teary eyed. "She died years ago.... why would you be having a vision of he ? Thats not futuristic."

"Not all of my visions are futuristic. Maybe it was just freaking dumb luck." I felt angry now. The shock of the vision had worn off, and I was pissed off, mad like h*ll. "I'm going to bed," I announced, and walked away to my hotel bed. I threw myself onto the pillow, sighing, and closed my eyes. The visions kept reappearing behind my eyelids.
Da*ning my sleep, I kept my eyes open and decided to stay awake for the night..forsaking the vision of that red hair, those green eyes, that freckled skin that had once been my mother's before plagued death took its toll and made her pale.

After a few minutes of sleep, I woke up and sighed. Nightmares, damn them. Why couldn't they just leave me the hell alone? I turned on the television in my room, flipping through channels. I settled on the "Hallmark" channel. It was stupid. There was kissing and sex and lying and finding-out-about-the-lying and apologizing and crying and making-up-with-more-sex. Gross. Real relationships weren't like this. Real love wasn't like this.
I tapped into the Faze Realm, a realm that could be located within the mind. With it, you could talk to anyone. Much more difficult than simply have a virtual chat by magic, but much more likely for my sister not to intrude upon. I searched in my mind desperately. Cas? Cas, I need you. Please answer me.
A moment later, I got an answer. Boudicia? Oh my gods! What's life on earth like?
Already, the voice of my love relaxed me. I could fake that I didn't want to marry, or that I wanted to die a virgin, but it was all for a reason: I loved a man I was not allowed to love. Caspian was heir to his own kingdom, and I couldn't marry him because I was the heir to my own. Therefore, I had to fake that I didn't want to love and therefore I could shoo away all the noble-but-still-not-kings suitors that I had. I was only eligible to suitors who didn't have their own kingdom--second sons or dukes and the like--and the only man I loved...I was not eligible for.
I missed you so much, Caspian. Earth is...strange. I can't drink alcohol, legally at least, and I need an identification card to get into places. It's strange. But we're going to Europe tomorrow. Do you think I should tell Father?
He paused. Boudicia, your father...he's done some strange things since you've left. He's passed laws against all sort of things...
I was growing suspicious. Father was known for being rash and never subtle. What laws? What stupid thing has he DONE?
Boudicia...he's passed laws against magic.
I was in shock. Disbelief. I never knew Father could be so stupid! But...magic is everything to us! Magic is what keeps us alive! Magic is what keeps us from starving or dying of cold. How could he be so stupid? What happened to make him do such a terrible, idiotic thing?
I knew Caspian was in despair. It was his head sorcerer, Boudicia. It was his head sorcerer, Nerwen. He...he...tried to kill your father. Apparently, for all these years, he worked for another, rival kingdom of yours. And he attempted to kill your father. Fortunately, all he killed was a hired royal taster. Your father hired them last month. Thank the gods for your fortune. But...still...it's horrible. Your father's decreed that magic is banned. Anyone who performs magic in public or declares publicly that they are magic will be burned or hanged. Possibly even publicly beheaded.
I was wide-eyed and limp on the bed. That's why he sent us here. To learn to live...without magic. In a more futuristic world. He said it was to make us better leaders. And that's a part of it. But...he's also making us magically independent. I sat up. Damn it! I have to tell Allison. Goodbye, love. Caspian, I hope I'll see you again soon. I love you.
Goodnight, love. And he was gone.
I got out of bed, seeking my sister. And she was NOT going to be happy.
Well, neither was I.

I walked up to my sister, and shook her shoulder so she'd notice me. I'd walked quietly. "Hey...hey, Allison, I, um, I had a vision," I lied. I couldn't tell her about Caspian. I couldn't. "I saw that Father was nearly poisoned. And because of it, he's banned magic. Officially." I pleaded with her with my eyes to believe my lies. "Allison, this is pointless, isn't it? The fact that he's banned magic...when we ourselves are magic!"
