Book I'll Show You Mine Novels & Stories

Close enough to show him the book, but enough distance that it didn’t feel too intimate. I hesitated as I held it in my hands, almost as if I were reconsidering my decision to show him, but after another deep breath, I passed it over. He opened it to the first page — a drawing of my old bedroom. “This was my room,” I explained quietly. “My bed... my desk... this is a computer. I did my work on there. It’s a machine that allows you access to the collective knowledge of the entire world. People can share information and images onto it, whatever they want, and anyone can see it instantly.”

I bring out the book and open it to prove her wrong, wondering what the hell is going on. "See? Words?" "That is what you see! Not what I see?" She brings our her phone and then takes a picture of the page I opened and then shows it to me. Fucking hell! "It's not—there is nothing there... On the picture..." I glance back at the book, "But it is on here." My hands are trembling as I lift my gaze back to Beryl. Something is wrong, I am absolutely confused. if this book is blank and hidden with acient magic as Beryl calls it and I can read it then something is definitely wrong.

She said. "mmmm... Can I see the book? I mean if you want." The prince wanted to see the book. But Chenyin was scared to hand it over. "I promised to master that I- - -" "I won't open it. I will just want to touch it." He said. Chenyin gave the book to the Prince. The book was brown. It had a beautiful design on it. And it has also a lock on it. "Hey it has a lock on it. Did you notice?" He asked.

Lucille who's on the other rack rushed to me with an open textbook. "Lady Kim, I just saw this.." she flash the book on my face and I took my time to read through. "Dry bones... Wildflower...." my fingers rolled on each text as I turn to the next page. "I think I have seen something like this, this is not what I'm looking for." I frowned and face back to my former spot, she stumble her feet sadly before walking back to where she was. I begin to hear footsteps approaching us, then I walk out of the hideous racks to see who it was.

But he blocked me again. "I said, I don't want a quid, mate." His voice is really something. I got goosebumps. "I know you're looking for this." My eyes widened at what he showed. It's the book! The one Satan was talking about. Satan was right. It came on its own, but... is this one of his men? "Where did you get that, mate?" I asked, but I was looking at the book. Shit! I need that book!

I proudly said. It is a black book with an illuminating stone in the middle of it like an evening star. I wrap my arms around it and held it tightly. How I wish Dylan and my family were here to witness my achievement. I'm sure they would be proud of me. A few moments later, the main door of the library opened and Erythaea shows up. "I see that you finally found your grimoire," she is pleased to say. "Yes, I did, and I would like you to meet my grimoire, Vespertine."

She countered hitting a sensitive spot. I narrowed my eyes and her expression softened. “I only say the truth, do what you can with it.” She turned on her heel then walked away. I lowered my gaze to the book in my hands. My pulse thudded against the leather cover. It's time to face the truth. I swallowed, lifted the book, and whispered, “Show me the people in the water.” The pages trembled, fluttering as if caught in a breeze only the book could feel. Then it stilled. A single sentence bled across the page in dark red ink:

My heart ached with the weight of everything that had happened, but in this moment, surrounded by memories, I felt a glimmer of hope. As I rummaged through the second last box, I found a small, locked journal. It was worn and faded, the leather cover cracked.I forced it open. The handwriting looked familiar.It was Aunt's.I didn't know Aunt kept a journal. I left the last two boxed for another day and climbed back up the stairs, with the journal in my hand, closing the trapdoor behind me.

Chapter 12: Gravity I gave up on the book at eleven. I dropped it on the nightstand, reached over and clicked the lamp off. Lay back. Closed my eyes. The house settled into that thick quiet around me. I exhaled. Let my body sink. The bed dipped. My eyes snapped open. I grabbed the lamp and clicked it on so fast I nearly knocked it off the nightstand. Damien was sitting on the edge of my bed. Not standing in the doorway. Not across the room. On my bed. One knee bent, arm resting on it, watching me with those green eyes like he'd been there for a while and had been perfectly comfortable waiting.

his voice lowered, “if you apologize for your recent behavior, I will take the seal back. I will still acknowledge you, and we can continue with our original plan for the mate bonding ritual. I will even buy you a bigger ring.” Sapphire’s eyes widened with shock, and she glared at me with hatred. I only looked at Jonah. He had handed the Council’s most powerful token to a secretary with ordinary abilities just to make me apologize and admit defeat. He still believed I would compromise, the same way I always had.
