But Lara did… and it hurt her more than what he did to her three years back. Since she was left alone by Christophe and Francine, she went off to explore after dinner, wandering through beautifully furnished and decorated reception rooms that were lifeless. Lara was delighted to come upon a library and, locating the English section, selected ‘Jane Eyre’, her favorite. She hadn’t read it for several years. But Charlotte Brontë failed her for the very first time. Lara found it impossible to concentrate. Standing up again, she cast the book aside and stepped through the curtains to open the French windows that featured in virtually every room. She walked along the terrace. As Lara passed by ope

What was so odd and magnetic about that black book? She wanted to continue reading, but she pulled out her mobile phone and glanced at the bright screen. It read 1:00 a.m. She figured she shouldn't stay in the library any longer; she had to wake up early and start her grueling chores with the other maids in just a few hours. Getting up from the chair, she carefully walked out of the library, pulling the heavy oak doors shut behind her. Turning on the small flashlight from her phone, she began the tense walk back to her bedroom.

she raised an electric zapper up and rolled her eyes "For 'security reasons' he said. Big whup" Olive struggled against the throng of people in front of the closed bookstore "Yeah, you should. There's been crazy killings and disappearances these past few days. Nothing is too much security" Maddie shushed her friend as an old, rotund man came to the front of the store "Okay, people" He yelled above the noise of the mob "The store would be open soon. Now, the books in here are limited editions, and they are going for half their usual price. But only for an hour. Now I want you all to go in in an orderly fashion. No pushing or shoving around. No fighting and please, no destruction of our proper

Something about a bridge being nearby is the only thing I can remember. Suddenly, the world swirls and I’m standing on that bridge with Kendric. “I fell off the cliff and then ended up here. This was our third life, for sure.” Kendric looks over at me with a confused expression. “Are you seeing this too?” A ticking clock sounds from somewhere nearby and I look around to see where it’s coming from. “Do you hear that?” A voice comes out of nowhere from somewhere above us. “Midnight is coming. Run while you can.”

the letter read. “I spent four hours today arguing with a man who smelled like old goat cheese and gunpowder. I found myself wondering if you were still reading about the Medicis, or if you’d moved on to something less bloody. I found a bookstore in a small village today. It was tucked between a bakery and a butcher shop. I saw a first edition of 'The Shining' and thought of you. Stay in the sun, Little Bird.” I laughed again, a sound that I had not genuinely made in a while .

Jasmine: "..." Remy: "... I didn't understand any of that." Jasmine: "Neither did I." Thankfully, before Ryder could go all Hulk on Midnight in the middle of the bookstore, Remy as the one with the most brain cells in their group, grabbed Ryder's hand and stopped her. "Don't be reckless. If you run out there, he will just run away. This is your chance to steal a peak at him." Outside the personnel room, Midnight was unaware that the girl he had been depressed about all these days almost jumped on him to beat his ass black and blue.

A grand chandelier hangs from the high ceiling, casting a warm light. In the center, there are mahogany tables with velvet chairs, perfect for reading. A fireplace with an ornate mantel and a large painting above it adds to the cozy atmosphere. Tall windows with heavy curtains let in natural light, and a plush Persian rug covers the floor. I ran my hands across the shelves, my fingers came to a halt in one specific book. “Midnight Howls.” A famous book by Orin Darkhowl. According to Thalia’s brother Talon.

Midton Residence, Saturday, afternoon. “You don’t want me to tell my brother about this?” Stelle, who came to visit Rai, Shane, and Spade in the Midton residence, looked at Shane with his eyes wide in disbelief. “Why?” he asked, before he turned to look at Rai. Suddenly, he fell silent. “… how can you be Raiver Midton…?” he muttered and sighed. He still can’t believe it.

But Anthony’s company had just gotten started, and I couldn’t bear to leave him behind, so I chose to stay. "You’re hopeless." That was the last thing she said to scold me, and I quickly brushed it off. Who would’ve thought that years later, we would reunite like this in a foreign land? Because I couldn’t see, I made flower arrangements slowly, and sometimes I would mix them up. A frequent customer of mine was a fellow international student. Maybe because we were both blind, he came almost every day to buy a bouquet of tulips. "Do you have any tulips today?"
