After class, I decided to head to the library one afternoon to look for a certain book that was needed for my lesson the following day. I spent almost thirty minutes in there trying to look for the book and doing some research which was going to be submitted in three days. I tried to focus on my studies and ignore the bugging thoughts about Jolene.

To tell the truth, I would better be an ordinary girl in the earth than being a witch in Slateville who is captured in the home for nearly 16 years. Suddenly something caught my attention on my desk. I walked over and saw a book. It has a heading 'Slateville' on it and a note beside it. Dear Sydney, I know you always wanted to know more about Slateville. So I bought this book. It has a lot of information about this place. Today, I will come late at midnight. Stay in home-like every day. Bye.

Imre told Liam to talk at the same place they went before. "Let's meet at the same old place." Imre uttered it in his thoughts to send it to Liam's thoughts. Liam who were standing at the main gate suddenly stood up and heard the inner thoughts of his brother Imre, whom he wanted him to go the place they were always going whenever they wanted to talk about something important.

When my shift ended, I found myself walking toward the corner table where Kael sat, his laptop closed now, a book in his hands. I stopped short when I saw the cover. ‘Knot We Cannot Untie.’ That was the book he was holding. I can't believe that Kael would be reading one of Linda Lively’s books. “You read… this?” I said, the surprise evidently in my voice. Kael looked up, one brow raised. “Why? You think I only read racing magazines and bank statements?” I gave a small laugh. “Chill bro. It’s just… not what I was expecting ”
