Holds Book Open Novels & Stories

I run my hand over it before propping it open. 'How to refine your magic: A Complete Guide'. "Hmmm…" I purse my lips together. Could this actually be the answer to all of my prayers? Gods, I hoped so. Closing the book, I flip the book over. Weirdly enough, there's no barcode on the back of it, nor on the inside cover when I flip it open again. Had someone left this here on accident? I tuck it close to my chest. Well, finder's keepers, right?

"Why won't I --" "Forget it. We are getting distracted. Do you have the book with you ?" I took out the book and handed it to her. "Oh, it doesn't ---" I cut Emily with a sigh. "--have any author or publishing house mentioned, I know." I generously completed it for her. "Fine then let's see what kind of myth it is hiding." She sighed and opened the book... well tried to. I frowned. "Stop playing, open the book already." "It's not opening. I'm serious."

We'll try it and if that still doesn't get the book open, then I'll just take it that the book doesn't want us to see what's inside. I touch Kayden's hands and try to demonstrate to him that the both of us should try to open it together. He nodded his consent. We both tried to open the book together, our hearts in our throats and shockingly, the book opened easily just like any other book but the light that shone as the book opened up was almost blinding. Kayden and I looked away, trying to protect our eyes from the blinding light. As if we hadn't already gotten enough surprises in that moment, the book talked.

Chloe opened the book and her eyes widened. This book... She scanned the pages and then let out a huff of disbelief. Why are there empty pages?

“Has he been studying all these books?” I looked at the desk. One book was lying open on his desk. The page it was turned to had a drawing of a person who looked like they were screaming. I continued staring at the opened page. The title at the top of the page said "Vampire Possession and Mind Control." I looked away from the book for a moment, My blood went cold. Had Noah known this might happen? Had he been preparing for it? I tried to look into the book one more time but

Add my books to your library and read them. Thanks.

"I wasn't going to" "Liora. You can look at it." She looked at him. At the book. Back at him. "It's in a case," she said. "The latch is.. ." "Left side. Lift and pull." She set her mug on the side table and went to it with the careful focused energy of someone approaching something they genuinely respected. The case opened. She lifted the book out with both hands, the automatic reverence of a bookseller handling something old and real, and turned it over slowly.

Leesa sat at the table in the living room, gripped by a feeling she could neither understand nor explain. Her book of magic lay unopened in front of her—for the first time ever, she felt hesitant to lift the cover. She was troubled by a nagging sense that events were combining to drive her toward a dangerous future, and that by opening her book this afternoon she might be taking one more step in that uncertain direction.

I thought as I sat down. I think I have finally found my secret spot and it's perfect. I said as I sat down on a bench and stretched my body, allowing the sunrays to fall on me. I quickly remembered what I was supposed to do and I brought out a book, small black book with red lock. It may look like a diary but it's much worse. Luckily it can only be opened with magic so even if it fell in the wrong hands, the secrets it contained will still be safe. I opened the book and on the first page was engraved these words.

I plead but she quickly turn around to face me. "Do it now" she states. I look at her in shock, I can't remember the last time I touched that book. I walk to the nightstand close to my bed, opening the drawer, I grab the book and hesitantly walk towards her. "If it doesn't open, I'm taking my book"
