We were in a table and he just didn't dare look up from his food as I just ate what was suppose to be brought to my room. He didn't glance. His face was bright red still. Ashton had walked in and he looks at me and then at Luke. A smirk growing in his face. Please no teasing. Luke is still mentally frozen from seeing me half naked. I swallowed the growing lump and Ashton grabs a plate and serves himself some food. Oliver had come in earlier but to notify he will get some paperwork Luke needs to review before we left again.
Scarlet had already went out with Sarah and Alexandra. Something about buying some items for someone named Angel. I think I met her once and she was really nice and godlike. I haven't met everyone from the pack though. If I remember Lukas said there are 97 in total. I barely met a few of them. I need to distract my kind so I grabbed the book. The Fallen Lovers. I opened it and took a bite of my food. Sweet and soft. Waffles with Nutella and bananas. Delicious as always. The moment I passed the page I felt heavy. I only saw one word.

UNKNOWN's POV
'Am sorry...'
I gasped awake as I touched my stomach in panic. But nothing. Just my birthmark. I was breathing heavily as I looked around my bedroom. Terrified. But empty. I sighed out and just looked at my birthmark. It's so weird as it is in the same spot where I keep seeing this woman who looks just like me. Stab herself and her unborn just to save everyone. I closed my eyes and took in a deep breath as my heart is still going fast. I keep dreaming of this and it is getting really annoying. I can't keep my head out of the clouds.
I looked at my calendar and I groaned out annoyed. I have to go see a Psychiatrist. School's orders. For some reason my behavior is showing early signs of some weird name they said. Plus depression. Suicide. It's very annoying. I stood from my bed and headed towards the shower. I am far far away from my family. They got such fucking luck that I almost wasn't able to go to the University of my dreams. They wanted to send me to some prestige University to study some type of Doctorate on Teaching. But I am not that stupid. I want to study a year. Like once a year that I finish I learn something.
Reasons why I already have a certificate of Bakery and Chef. Bartending is what I am learning at night while during the day I am learning First Responders. Nurse is next at least the simple stuff. Just for in case someone needs me or am in the spot of an emergency than I can help until the actual first responders arrive. After I learned so much about being basically a first aid doctor then I will learn a year of teaching kindergarten until third grade. I love kids. They have such innocent souls.
I opened the door to my bathroom as I looked around silently. Then I looked back to my bedroom. If it wasn't for the small noise my roommate makes. I would say that this place is pretty lonely. I haven't even gotten the chance to get a boyfriend. Not even a one night stand. Am gonna end up being a virgin for ever. I entered the shower and just started undressing. A cold shower will help tighten my muscles. I basically walk to everywhere. I at times use a bike or order an Uber. But this appointment is pretty far away so an Uber for today. I sighed out as the moment the water starts cascading. The gentle cold breeze that comes turns my skin upside down. The gentle breeze gave me goosebumps. It's weird. I usually don't get goosebumps when the water is like this.
So I slowly turned the knob for the heat to slowly emerge. Mixing with cold it must be warm. Still has a hint of cold in it so I don't want it warm warm. I removed the underwear I have. Is all I wear to bed. I would be completely naked but I only sleep with an underwear just in case. I always have a dress or a long shirt for if I hear intruders at the living room. My parents were afraid of teaching me self defense but they luckily allowed me to learn at least to fend of attackers with any sharp object. A sword. A knife. Even those small portable knives. On my own I learned to use a scythe and a gun. In some odd way I like drawing and photography as well as filming.
So I use my hobby and my items of choice to use unique reference for new drawing ideas. Is all I have ever needed. My weapon of choice in my own original art is a scythe as well as a sword and gun. Right I have a simple gun just not real real. Heavy yes. Bullets? No. I have the air pressure with metal pellets kind of gun. Usually I am more of a silver kind of girl. So my parents custom make silver pellets for me.
I need to check if they sent a new pack of it to me. Once a month they send me a supply of silver pellets and the small pressure tanks for the gun. I use it but only on practice. But I usually have a full supply.
I step inside the shower in pure darkness. I didn't turn the light on. 'Am I so distracted that I didn't turn on the light?' I had to ask myself basically. I left it at that and I took a long time in the shower. Thirty minutes of pure bliss is all I need. I don't care if I arrive late. I let the water cascade down my whole body. Its so refreshing. My bedroom door got basically scolded. The door slams open and there angry. Steam emitting from her body is my roommate. Annoying as ever.
"What in hell!!! I thought you don't use hot water!" She snaps at me as she points at me as well
"Am not even using that much so stop complaining" I tell her with a huff
"I need to be perfect... My skin needs to be spot on... Today is the day were I know a rich man will sweep me of my feet and call me his bride" she starts day dreaming again
I almost burst in laughter but I say "Good luck with that..."
She leaves my room in a huff of anger and its so fucking funny. But I had to get out. She will get even more annoying if I don't leave. She is such a bossy lady when it comes to her beauty. In which I don't see. She is as flat as a board. Her whole body isn't even curvy. But men see her as beautiful. I on the other hand I am a little bit chubby. I have a slight tummy. I don't weigh over three hundred pounds kind of chubby. Like mid two hundred pounds maybe. I have curves. I have boobs. I have butt. My hair is midnight black. A natural kind of black. Plus my eyes are also natural dark brown. At times they are such deep brown that some people think I have black eyes. I wish. Black eyes would match with everything and black is my favorite color.
I made sure the water is completely off so the water bill doesn't come high next month. I stretched my back and the gentle breeze touches my skin and I looked to the side. I noticed the air conditioning is still on. I have to turn it off before these girls find out about it. They I have one. They just don't know I keep it on in the corner hidden. Only I know where it is. Nobody would notice it on if you don't stare straight at it. I like cold a lot. So even if this apartment has heating and cooling system. I really like the cold a lot. Not snowy cold kind of way. I heard a sound and I looked around confused. 'Vibration?' Until I noticed my phone screen is light up and there is an unknown number showing.
I let it end and I just walked to my small closet in search of my black jeans and baggy shirt. I like loose clothes. Not because am chubby but because its damn comfortable. I like feeling the wind on my skin as well. It may be baggy but its not that long. Long enough to cover skin of my stomach. But short enough for the wind to enter. My phone started vibrating again and I groaned out. I have underwear already on so all I did was grab it and just stare at the same number.
I slide my thumb to answer it as I say a bit annoyed "Yes? Who is this?"
"This is a reminder of your appointment for today with Dr. Lin at **** ****** ***** 33333 today at 12:30..." It was a secretary and she had asked "Are you there?"
"Yes I am here... Why can't I get ready for this appointment and just arrive... I have to basically walk to your location..." I had to protest
"The University has strict orders that we remind you of your appointment today and the upcoming appointment as well" she says in a monotone
I groaned out and say "FINE! I am on my way I can't promise I will arrive on time because I am walking to the location..."
"Thank you..." She says with a gentle whisper
She then hangs up and I just groaned out loudly sounded like an almost scream
I hate this.
~Back to Reality~
I felt my body being shaken and I slowly opened my eyes. What happened? Luke and Ashton were right in front of me. I felt confused and they looked really worried. I looked to the side and noticed the table. It was a slight mess. The chair belly side basically. The book dangling from it. The title had a light glow and it was fading.
"What happened?" I asked with a raspy tone
"A spell basically..." Ashton says in a worried tone
"Spell?" I asked confused
"Of course... Where did you find this book? It was supposed to be locked in the safe?" Luke asked me as he helped me stand
"I actually don't remember... I woke up with the book in hands and that's when you entered th-the..." My face heats up remembering what happened
"Entered the room? Did I miss something?" Ashton jokes as he elbows lightly at Luke
It made Luke's face turn red and he says "Nothing don't worry!"
"Alright back to the book... Why is it supposed to be inside of a safe?" I asked confused
"There are moments where some teenage Witch from these era would use their powers on accident and make stories and they become predictions but you'll literally get trapped in the story each time you read one word from the chapter... You return awake once the chapter ends... Some people literally get stuck until the ending of the book" Luke explains gently
"Some teenage witches keep these books for themselves and create their own dream land..." Ashton says while shrugging
"So this was someone's fantasy land?" I asked confused
"It was an accidental write... The girl that wrote this had died from a common illness and the mother after reading the first page she noticed the spell so she handed it to my father to keep it safe" Lukas explains gently
"Some stories turn into predictions... As it is rare but some witches are able to see into the future... Again teenagers think it's their imagination and so it is written down turning into a Spell of Fantasy..." Ashton continues as he grabs the book in hands
I saw smoke coming from his hands and he drops the book as he hissed in pain. Luke is confused and I looked at it. That was really weird. Ashton grabs a napkin and grabs the book again as he places it on the table. I can't believe that. Is he not able to hold the book? Was it my fault?
This is going to give us a headache.
