Inside Her Book Novels & Stories

I chuckled as I shook my head. His brows furrowed because like me he thought it was the book of ultimate power. "So how am I still alive than?" He asked after a second. His voice finally not as scratchy. "The book within me. You saved yourself because you realized she was being consumed by the book that was still within her." I stated with a soft smile. The whole time she was being aggressive I thought I had made her to spoiled but in the end she was lost in the book within her.

I could almost see the internal walls moving, opening not because they had been forced, but because she was curious about what lay beyond them. Later, as the afternoon wore on, we shared a quiet moment in a bookstore that smelled of dust and paper and time. She found an old volume of essays she’d once loved. I remembered her mentioning it months ago and told her so. The surprise on her face—quick, unguarded—sent a jolt through me that had nothing to do with strategy.

Her wanderings led her to a momentary pause, her gaze fixated on a room visible through the translucent Thai glass. Intrigued by the mysterious room, Hazel gingerly turned the knob and stepped into what appeared to be a sanctuary of knowledge, lined with towering bookshelves. The air inside was laced with the scent of aged paper. What is it? Is he really fond of books? Her fingers traced the spines of the books. Unable to resist the allure, Hazel reached for a book titled "Little Women." Leaning against its edge, she resisted the urge to sit and instead propped herself up, opening the book to its first page.

“It’s been two months since we met. You’re an amazing boss, an amazing person but you’ve had that look since the first time I saw you.” “What look?” She sighs “I don’t want to overstep but if you ever need someone to talk to, I’m here.” I don’t know what to tell her so I just nod. “Thanks, I’ll be leaving soon.” “Alright, we’ll lock up.” **** I grab a book from the shelf and read the title. ‘The Psychopath’s internal wiring’ I walk over to a seat in the corner and I start to read. A gentle hand taps me, jerking me awake.

Sometimes it meant learning to carry the memories without letting them bruise. The day stretched gently. They laughed, ate too much, walked through the park. When she passed a bookstore window, she caught her reflection again standing in front of shelves of words and stories, and for the first time, she saw herself not as the woman who’d been left, but as the one who survived. By evening, she was home again. She took the book from where she’d left it and opened it. On the inside cover, in faint pencil, another line. One she hadn’t seen before.

Goddess, was she going to kill me with knowledge? “I can hear those wheels turning,” she teased me, pushing me down into one of the chairs. I watched as she went to a safe in the corner of the room. From there, she pulled a book, and brought it over to me. It was the one that had Ziyah’s prophesy in it. The one that was supposed to be completely top-secret.

Her heart made a violent pound as she recognized the book. "I guess you already know what's inside." "I don't." She had to keep her voice from a slight shaking. "Then have a look." Under the authoritative command, she took the sketchbook reluctantly. He knew there was a sketch of her in there, somewhere in the middle of the book. Her brain struggled for a strategy. She could say the woman in the sketch was not her. She could say it was just a coincidence that the woman in the sketches resembled her in some way. It was just one sketch after all.

Only Nathalie is different at all you can't read what her brain is running. It is often lonely and confined to its room it does not release if you do not invite. It's just always quiet. We graduated colleges. We were just surprised that she had a boyfriend right away even though she knew it was forbidden. We never saw anyone stray here or even introduced us. "It doesn't come out that you're just using him! " She said bitterly and grinned.

It was a library. Danika gasped, amazed at the amount of books that are there. As a person that likes books too, they drew at her. She walked shelf after shelf, looking through the back of the books and the insides. She must have lost track of time. She held a book in her hand, reading so engrossed. There were red smears to the back of the book and she wondered if that's the way the book cover is. She knew the exact moment she wasn't alone with anybody.

You can explain this. "Where am I? How did I get here?" Her last memory was of reading the damn book and—the book! Where was the book? Her heart thundered uncontrollably, a barrage of thunder inside her chest, as she probed her surroundings once more. There! Her book rested on the vanity, so close, yet so far away.
