Open Her Book Novels & Stories

And then Lukas reminded me that maybe we could find something useful to end the curse… and I took it. I didn’t know how to open it until one day when I was inspecting it to find some hidden buttons or mechanism to unlock it, my nose started bleeding all of a sudden, and a drop of blood fell on the corner of the book. Then the book itself started to glow, and my mother’s witch symbol appeared on the cover, and when I tried to open the journal then, it opened without any resistance. Seems like someone out there was watching and made it obvious for me on how could I open this. Selene…Hecate…who knows…

She blushed and asked, "Where are you keeping that book? I want to read it too." "Okay." George opened the drawer and gave it to her, saying, "You should learn about those in the later chapters." What? There were even things she needed to learn?

I almost rolled my eyes, bored of her antics. Before I shunned whatever she was doing off, the book glowed in bright red. "What in the?" I exclaimed. "Moon oath magic," she said triumphantly. "This book has a message." She strode towards us elegantly and opened the pages to us, which were now filled with drawings and writing. "Look at this," she told us. Scarlett gasped. "Herrera." "Herrera?" We looked at the image again. A woman with long white hair, white brows, lashes, a white garment with gold accessories.

I carry it over to her and she takes one of my hands, making it rub over the metal clasp on the front and it clicks open. "Hey, how did you do that?" I say pouting. "It's magic" she says. She opens the book to the first page and I peer over her hands. "This books broken, there's no pictures" I say disappointed, expecting to see something exciting. My mother laughs again. "Concentrate really hard and tell me if you see anything" I furrow my small brow and pierce my lips in my best concentration face. I blink and in-between blinks I see a picture and words flash on the page before disappearing with the next blink.

I carefully untied the ribbon that held it closed, revealing a beautifully crafted cover with intricate patterns and symbols. As I opened the book, a gust of wind suddenly swept through the room, extinguishing the candle by my bedside. The darkness enveloped me, but I wasn't alone. Whispers echoed around me, growing louder and more urgent. I strained my ears to catch the words, desperately trying to make sense of them. "Veronica, you hold the key," the voice murmured, as if carried by the wind itself. "The truth lies within you." Intrigued and unnerved, I clutched the book tightly in my hands and began to read its faded words. The first sentence was Veronica, you hold the key. The voice was

I know. And, I looked at my watch to begin counting her time, and she tried to move the shelf by pushing it with her right hand which made me hold my laughter. No, I'm not gonna laugh. Then, she let out a heavy breath as she put a hand on her waist and looking at the huge thing in front of her while puzzled by how to get it open. Is she tired? "Nine minutes! The books won't tell you how to open it, Maia. Use both your hands and mind." I let out as I pick up again the document that I was reading earlier. Let's see if she can figure it out.

Both Olivia and I stood to our feet shocked, and before we could react, the book opened and started paging itself in the air. My whole body was shaking, my heart racing as if I’d just run a marathon, and my breaths were quick and heavy, then I heard what I was afraid to hear. “You’re the key, Aubree. You. Are. The. Key!”

Was she here the whole time? She wasn’t done with her dramatics. She pulled back, still clutching Kael’s arm. “I’ve been thinking,” she announced with the same confidence she used when entering a room, “maybe I should join this book club too. I’d love to read something scandalous and fun.” Maya smiled politely. “We’re always open to new members.” “Perfect!” Hazel beamed, then turned toward me with a sharp glint in her eyes. “But… if I’m going to join, don’t you think the president should set the right example?”

But if she wasn't mysterious, I don't think the secret and everything else would be worth it. I shook my head, hoping the very action would rid me of the excessive thoughts in my head. Strangely it did, and the only thing I had in mind was to actually find out what F.S had to do in all of this. I took a deep breath before opening the first page of the book In my grip. "It was a hot sunny afternoon. " I read out loud, letting the rest of the words flow out freely and basking myself in the scenery my mind was creating.

Ennie smiled encouragingly at her. At first, Germaine wondered why she would tell her to open the book, but then she looked down and saw the title - The Journey to the Talisman - and her heartbeat quickened in her chest. She opened the book to the first page and she released a gasp at what she saw.
