Over the next few weeks Jefferson helped his mentor with the other charges as well as baby Newton. The boy was getting stronger by the minute. He saw things he shouldn't be able to at his age and could use thought magic a little too well. He didn't seem to be evil but there was a wicked spark deep within the child. It seemed to lay dormant for the time being. 

Jefferson worried that something may happen with one of the other charges while they spent so much time with Newton. The boy was growing quickly. Jefferson remembered he needed to peek in on Joline before it slipped away from his thoughts again. He went to Jameson  and told him.

"Yes, go we've needed to check in on her anyway." 

"I'll return as soon as I can." He offered the elder.

"Take your time." He replied.

                      Jefferson nodded and headed off to go check on the girl. He just wanted to make sure she was still doing okay. He hoped so.  He walked quickly, but it still felt like forever by the time he made it to her street and then the house.Quickly peeking in he saw her sitting there on the bed studying magic. He was glad to see nothing was wrong but something still seemed a little off. Taking the elder's advice he stayed there as she did her spell work, candle magic and meditations. 

Then she got ready for bed surprisingly early . He'd ask Jameson about that, he thought teenagers were mostly nocturnal. It could be nothing but he wanted to make sure. He watched closely as she slept into the night when she began to talk and move around in her sleep.  Listening more intently he could hear her chanting. Was it possible? Was Joline casting spells in her sleep?
