Anthony seemed drunk. The minute he walked through the door, the strong stench of alcohol hit me.

I want to go back since it’s already dark but I feel this invisible force pulling me inside the graveyard. I keep walking inside the graveyard. The tombstones are old and breaking down into ruins and it’s hard to read the names on them. I come across a well which is located at the center of the graveyard. The well is huge and unused for a long time. When I listen carefully, I realize that the whispers are coming from the well. They’re echoing inside the well. There are so many voices inside the well. They seem alive and speaking to me. I can’t make out what they’re saying but they have this odd aura about them that seems to be pulling me towards the well more.

Had it not been for his grandfather regaining his consciousness at last to clear his name, he would still have to remain hiding now. Sigh! Zayn heaved a sigh. He was overwhelmed with complicated emotions even before he arrived at his grandfather’s grave. The sky had yet to brighten, so the entire ground was pitch black. Zayn parked the car and stopped the engine to discover that all the light had vanished completely. He was in a public graveyard where weeds and tombstones crowded the earth.

After getting out of the taxi, taking my luggage, and paying the old man who left shortly after, I looked inside the car, which was open and the key was in the ignition, and found another gift in the glove box - information for all bank accounts around the world where Oliver had accumulated some money during his 300 years of life, there was given even the balances of each account.

For now, she didn't even want to wonder what would happen if aunt Margareth finds out about her feelings. Selene stretched first, then slowly dragged herself off the bed, her eyes immediately fixed on the Book of Magic that was lying down on the desk, the one she had gotten from aunt Meredith yesterday. Selene took it gently in her hands and sat on the edge of the bed, setting the bulky volume on her lap, and flipped through the book several times. Afer the fourth time she stopped at a page that showed a portrait of a man with ebony, half-length hair, in a long black coat... The face itself seemed familiar at once, but when Selene saw his eyes - dark and captivating like two black holes, she

Fortunately, the shuffling stopped, and after about ten seconds of silence, Lyda let out a quiet sigh of relief before her eyes fell upon a relatively large object sitting in the shadows beneath her bed frame. Lyda knelt and set the candle on the floor behind her, now shielding the light with her body, as she reached under the bed and carefully pulled out the object. It was a book of some sort, but this one was much larger than the ones on Aunt Mara's shelf, and it looked indescribably old. The spine appeared as though it might break apart at the slightest touch, and its face was covered in a layer of dust. She did not know why, but the mere sight of it made Lyda's skin crawl. Without a seco

There Damon recounted it by name, “The Mourner’s Cradle.”

As if he realized what I was thinking now, in his desolate and weeful image, holding the body of the woman who could never be yours. There was a slight stamp, and my arms were released from that mass of melted stone that the tomb seemed to have become, and I turned my eyes to the tomb that crawled alone to the side, revealing a book with a golden and red cover and with words in a foreign language engraved on the page itself.
