Chereads / A Journey To The Darkness / Chapter 2 - Chapter 2

Chapter 2 - Chapter 2

I got lost in those words which were written on that paper. I was shocked and wanted to know what it was about. So I walked to the library with my mom again saying her that I forgot my backpack. So she came with me and I was in a hurry to the library. It was one of the bookshops in our area which is both a library as well as a book shop. I rushed to the librarian and she was not there I asked and assistant whether the librarian was busy. She told me that the librarian, Mrs. Alan had gone to a vacation with her granddaughter to Canada. Then I asked whether I could return the book. She wasn't able to accept the book and the library will be closed for a month. I was too late and then I turned back to come home with my mom. I had a great fear inside of my heart.

I thought that I must open the book and read it, if it had chosen me I must see what is going to happen and I should be aware about the book. In order to know everything I must open the book and read it. No matter what there is no turning back and I'm not afraid!

Should I tell this to mom? No I don't think that it will be good she won't understand this and she would not believe! I have to do this myself. "Let's see what this is", I thought.

As soon as I came home I rushed into my room and took the book. It seemed to be a magical book and the cover was brown and letters were embedded on the cover. I felt curious the book looked to be an ancient and mysterious. I opened it and started reading. On the first page it was written,

This is the begging of your magical and scary life! You must not lend or sell this book until the end of your journey. This may take you to a world of magic that is filled with danger. Don't harm the book you will be rewarded pain. Keep this a secret and your life is going to change and you're going to open doors to the darkness. Good luck for you to begin A JOURNEY TO THE DARKNESS!

I started to shiver against the fear that came across my body. My life is going to change! I'm going towards the darkness! What have I done? I can't turn back now. What should I do now?

I must face this now whatever happened there is no turning back to me. And I put the book under my bed because if my mother sees it she will surely be afraid. And she will destroy this book then both of us will be in a danger. I don't want to see my mom getting into a trouble.

I woke up next day morning and after I had a bath I got dressed and went to school. I walked towards my locker and put my books into it after taking my drawing book. After closing the door I turned in order to go to my class and I met Max on my way. He offered a pleasant smile to me and I smiled back. He greeted me saying Good morning and I greeted him back.

I got stoned when he ask me about a book which I borrowed from the library. I thought that everything is over and I will die now! But I was wrong. He had asked me about interesting books! I thought that he identified my change when he asked me whether I was ok. I said nothing's wrong and we walked towards the class together. I felt that something's wrong with Max's behavior as he asked me to sit next to him. I gave him a weird look and sat next to him. Personally he was my favorite boy in the class and in the whole school. And also he was the favorite boy of all the girls. So they were jealous with me. I had friends but not best friends. Girls in my class were not in likely to talk with me or to be friends with me as they said that I'm a crazy reader because every time they found me reading books. While my friends went for parties together I spent time in the library with the librarian Mrs. Alan reading books. It was the only happiness to me.
