I found a book, called 'last time' I opened the book to a random page, somewhere in the middle and proceeded to read the first paragraph 'Jodie knew that Darren would look for her, even as she hid from him, she was crying quietly now, she was scared he would find her, she needed to escape but for some reason she couldn't blink, maybe it was the tears, maybe Darren drugged her, who knew, she soon heard footsteps, she covered her mouth so Darren could not hear her, she pleaded, in her mind, with the gods to save her' I closed the book, it seemed interesting, I carried the book to a comfortable looking green recliner, I sat down in the chair with my legs crossed underneath me, I opened the book

“Dear Felicity, The road ahead is not an easy one. Things will constantly change. And some, are not what they seem. With lots of love, Mommy.” All this time she had had the book but she had never noticed the handwritten message on the first page. Her day might not have started well, but now, she felt like she could handle anything. A genuine smile spread on her face. Felicity sat back comfortably and began reading the contents of the book. This was much better than starting a conversation with someone she felt she did not know anymore.

I crossed to it without letting myself hesitate, because hesitation was how you talked yourself out of things that needed doing. My fingers found the spine and pulled it free carefully, quietly, like the room itself might tell on me. It was thinner than I expected. I opened it, my fingers trembling slightly. The script inside was the old language—dense, careful lines of it filling every page with no illustrations, no breaks, nothing to orient me except the words themselves. I turned to the first page and let my eyes move across it the way I had learned to at the altar, not forcing it, just allowing.

She placed the leather-bound book on her lap with reverence, brushing away the lingering dust with her trembling fingers. The book creaked open like it hadn’t been touched in years. Its pages were yellowed and fragile, but tucked between random paragraphs were faint markings—notes written in delicate, slanted handwriting. Leah’s heart thudded as she scanned the lines, searching for meaning. On the third chapter, Sofia’s voice came alive. “Nothing is ever truly what it seems. A beautiful prison is still a prison.” Leah’s brows furrowed. She flipped another page. More underlines, this time around a quote from the book’s protagonist:

It caressed my skin like invisible hands — sliding over my breasts, down my stomach, teasing between my thighs without ever quite touching. My breath hitched. A soft, masculine chuckle seemed to echo in my mind, low and ancient and pleased. I should have closed the book. Instead, I sank into my chair, legs parting slightly of their own accord, and began to read. The god’s name pulsed on the page like a heartbeat. Tah. And somewhere in the shadows of my quiet apartment, something very old… stirred.

Lyra I held the old book close, feeling its worn cover against my chest. The dimly lit room around me was filled with dusty shelves and ancient artifacts. My pounding heart was weak, I was nervous but stayed strong getting ready. "Let's see...," I murmured as I opened the book. I was hit by the smell of old paper when I opened the first page. I was surprised to see it covered in unfamiliar writing and drawings. It looked nothing like any book I'd studied before.

“Then let’s open it.” Lucian placed the book against the keyhole, and the door began to tremble. Light spilled from its edges, and with a deafening roar, it swung open, revealing a world unlike anything they had ever seen. It was both beautiful and terrifying, a realm of endless possibilities and unimaginable dangers.

As I held it in my hands, a surge of anticipation coursed through me. "I wonder what's in you," I said as I settled onto the plush cushions of the nearby armchair, cradling the book in my lap. Opening it gently, I was greeted by intricate illustrations and delicate handwriting that seemed to dance across the page. The words on the page weaved a tale of forbidden love and dark desires. It was a dark romance, filled with passion and danger, a story that both intrigued and captivated me. I was instantly drawn into the world of the characters, their struggles, and their yearning for a love that defied the odds.

Gazing back towards the book, it felt as if something was pushing me towards it. I got up and walked towards the book. Placing it on my lap I noticed that the cover was filled with complicated detailing. The material felt rough, it felt old but well-taken care of. The colors were a mixture of ash grey, gold, and specks of white, the title was written in crimson red. Taking a bite from my food, I opened the first page of the book. ---------- [Chapter Quote: "Her soul belongs to words and books. Every time she reads, she is home ."]

Spread my palm across its surface. The language rose before I even opened it. It was never words on the tongue first. It was sensation. A familiar ache that slid under skin and promised compliance. I let it build. Letting its darkness curl obediently along my wrist. “Yield.” The book opened without touch, that was new and I would be proud, but this was not the time. The pages ruffled as if wind lived only inside them. Ink stirred and the symbols woke.
