"Here, it explains that there were child kidnappings in that era. Strangely, they were kidnapped from their bedrooms, even when the room had no windows. Some children were found in the middle of the forest, but with attitudes and behaviors vastly different from their previous selves, and the rest of the children disappeared forever." "That's the work of witches," Adro said, rubbing his chin. "But now, I doubt whether this book was truly written by a witch. Their hearts are so corrupt that it's unlikely they would write about their evil deeds in a book." "Let me look into this book on the internet." Grace pulled out her laptop from her bag. "LJ is a historian and writer. The book was publishe

What made her look extra cute were those ridiculously over-sized glasses on her face. It looked like the class was being conducted inside a library. The shelves were lined with thick volumes of books that were mostly about the history of Britain; Religion and the Decline of magic: Studies in Popular Beliefs in Sixteenth and Seventeenth Century England, A People's History of England, The Fall of the British Monarchies, and so on.

“I’m going to pretend you didn’t say that and get you a history book for Christmas. No, in the Revolutionary War.” “Hey, I know a lot about history. I got an A in all of my history classes,” Cadence shot back. “Right—World War I was Germany. The first time, right? So, Christian fought the…” she thought for a moment before saying, “red coats?” “That’s it,” he confirmed, a bit relieved that she knew more than he originally thought. “Wow,” Cadence replied, shaking her head. “Then he’s like… what? Two hundred and some odd years old?”

Gerey turned his attention back to his bag instantly. With trembling hands, he zipped up his bag, exhaled and walked up to the Librarian who offered him a plastic blue tag that had the number ‘0169’ etched in black on it. “Uhm, do you know where I can find books on - fairy tales? For kids between the ages 7 to 12?” Gerey's eyeballs danced around for a yellow pair of eyes on a face with unusually large ears.

"Anyway, enough about that. You were reading when I came in, did you find anything else?" "Not really, the book's bizarre, it's split like it's part history book and then part novel. The history book section seems to be factual as far as I can tell, there's lots of references to historical events and other materials. But it only covers the events of the twins lives up until their mid-teens. After that the book swaps to being written like a novel, but there's no reference guides or historical landmarks so I have no idea how much of it is fact or fiction." I answered with a shrug. There hasn't been much mention of the girls’ powers beyond a vague insinuation that they were more powerful than a

Then she remembered- while she was exploring her room, she had seen one of the cupboards that had books in it, and she went in search of one. She found a few titles and decided to stick to some historical romance she found, about the Comanche warriors and blood moons, Texans, war and the Prairie. It was just as she sat down that she heard Charity's familiar knocking pattern. Pulling open the door, she saw her friends and ushered them in.

That woman and so many others seemed upset because I didn’t know anything, but maybe if I learned something, they would be less upset. Either way, I was curious. Why are you white wolves? Was my first question. As I kept reading, I came up with more questions, but none of what the book was saying made any sense to me. It sounded like a fairytale instead of a history book. I didn’t remember much from school, but I remembered that there were dates and places all over the place, but here were none in this book. Why aren’t there any dates in the history book? I opened my door and walked out to the dining area where Tony, Matt, and I would usually eat. I sat there as it was about lunchtime and wa

offered up Tilly, helpfully. “Mmm Nova’s not sure she can put it into words” my cheeky mate says. Her eyes are sparkling with delight and mischievousness. “but that was intense. I could 100% pass a history class right now. Or teach one. Where did those books come from?” Lionidis explained the books to Nova. “Well thank you for introducing me to them” she said chuckling. “Can I just says as someone whose read a lot of history books, if these are the ‘more realistic ones’ then we are teaching some lies in schools”

Chapter 2: The next few weeks went by in a flurry of petticoats and balls, everyone wanting to say goodbye before i left for my schooling and i think one last chance for the ladies to sink in their claws before my fathers only reason for attending these functions left town. I was young and hated being flaunted as a new calf prepared for the marriage market slaughter but still enjoyed dancing and chatting with friends.

One of the girls who found Sonia ‘cool’ then asked, “What's your favorite book?” A lot of books were her favorite, but she ditched them all to say, “You probably haven't heard of it. It's called The Age of Exploration.” She felt Darrell look her way as soon as she said this, but she pretended not to have noticed. “It's a history book, actually,” she continued. The teens' faces scrunched up in distaste. “History?” one of them groaned. “Ugh, boring.” “Yeah, who wants to read about a bunch of old dead guys?” Another one chimed in.
