We found the book at the original spot we landed when we woke up but I'm not sure what's wrong with the girl. She kept trying to kick it. So I held her by the waist and off the floor " What are you doing? That might be our only way out "?
She didn't really care as she tried to get out of my grip " Then it shouldn't have brought me here in the first place. And let go of me ". I shook my head " You promise to stay put "?
She nodded eagerly and I slowly placed her down. If she destroyed my only way back, I'd probably bury her alive. Standing between her and the book, I picked it up.
When she suddenly snatched it from me and flipped through. She yelped and threw the book, stepping back. Fortunately, I was able to catch it in time and I frowned, raising my voice " What's wrong with you? I don't want to be stuck here if you do ".
But she suddenly started crying, sucking on her finger. I was even more scared and confused [ Do humans change moods so frequently? ]
+++++++++++++++
We finally found the book and I know it sounds petty and immature to take revenge on an inanimate object but I'm in a really low place right now.
I was about to jump on it when my kidnapper held me back [ Crap, I forgot about him ] But I kept struggling, clawing at his arms, " Then it shouldn't have brought me here. And let me go ".
He was so close, I could feel his breath on my ear as he spoke. I felt like jelly and didn't trust myself to speak so I just nodded.
When he placed me down and picked the book, I snatched it from him [ I really really wish I didn't do that ] It cut me again! ]
[ My hands, my soft beautiful hands ] It might seem like nothing but it really hurts. I was forced to look up at the kidnapper " The book hates me. Look what it did ".
I shook my head as he spoke, holding up the book " It'll be alright. We just have to get out of here first ". I nodded but I screamed, stepping back " It has eyes ".
The boy seemed confused as he turned the book [ It really does have eyes huh. Wait ] He threw the book but it didn't land on the floor and instead floated.
" You two make so much noise, how's a book supposed to stay crisp "? I rubbed my eyes again and laughed [ I must be dreaming or ate some expired ice cream. Yes, this is all an hallucinations caused by food poisoning ]
But the man wasn't taking it as well and fainted. I narrowed my eyes as I walked to his side, keeping one eye on the talking book " Hey mister, wake up. Don't leave me with the devil book ".
The book didn't seem to take my comment lightly and was all up in my face. " Who you calling devil? You're the one who keeps throwing me around ". I frowned, shoving the book to the side " You kept cutting me. I'd think you'd react a lot differently ".
[ I'm going insane. Arguing with a talking book ] The man woke up slowly rubbing his head. He seemed to panic all over again as the book and I stared at him.
Luckily he didn't scream but instead lied back down and closed his eyes muttering to himself " This is a dream. All a bad dream ".
When he opened his eyes, we were staring at him. He frowned slightly as if accepting his fate and sat up. I stood behind in case he fainted again [ So not to use him as a human shield ]
Hiding must of my body behind him, in case the thing had laser beams or something " What exactly are you "? The book's pink eyes seemed smug as it spoke " I'm project SOS, but you can call me princess ".
Smiling, I muttered under my breath " A devil princess you mean ". The man spoke calmly " How do we get back home "? The book's expression became blank as it circled the two " I'm not entirely sure I can do that ".
We both looked at each other then the book and yelled in unison " What do you mean you're not sure "? The book sighed " You kept throwing me around, some of my pages are missing so I can't guarantee a success ".
I laughed nervously " Then how do we get your pages back "? The book smiled but the man spoke cautiously " How do we know you're not trying to trick us "? I smiled to myself [ He looks so cute when he sounds serious ]
The book appeared in his face " As much as I'd want to, I can't do that. It's against my programming ". I squinted my eyes, staring at the book " What is your programming exactly "?
The book smiled and spoke in a sickingly sweet voice " To put a smile on your faces ". I frowned " Why us "? The book rolled its big pink eyes at us " You're both very sad people plus we have a blood contract ".
The man spoke up " I don't remember signing a blood contract with you ". It flipped its pages, one was more like a cut, like from a paper cut while the other was a lot messier like spit [ This just keeps getting weirder and weirder ]
" What do we have to do to get back home "? The book smiled " Just a few missions, it'll be fun I promise ". I raised an eyebrow [ A promise from a talking book. Reality just left the station ]
The man nodded " So how do we do these missions "? The book smiled " Don't worry about that. Just don't forget to leave me a five star review when you smile. And don't forget to have fun ".
We were both confused and we could see it clearly on each other's faces when the book suddenly started glowing and hit us in the face [ Not again ]
