Picking up the book Vincenzo asked Anneliese, "What did you wished?"
This time Anneliese said aloud for him to hear, "A book that belongs to me could just magically appear!"
"A Book that belongs to you!!" Vincenzo repeated in a thoughtful tone. Coming to where Anneliese were, Vincenzo bring forward the book for her to take and saw the girl hesitating. Seeing the unsure look on her face, Vincenzo said, "Two things you need remember, One - There is no win when you live in fear of what might happen!, Two - No one other than us two, can know about this, No matter the circumstances, You can not tell a soul! Understood?"
Anneliese nodded in understanding and heard the man, "Now, take the book let us see if you can open it or not!"
Anneliese frowned, "Open the book?"
Vincenzo explained, "It's been said that only those who belong to the original lineage of the book creators can open the Book of Spells."
Anneliese responded, "But my parents are human and we don't have any connection with supernatural kinds!"
"First, Let's see, if u can open it or not then we will go into your family's lineage part! Take the book!" Vincenzo stated
Anneliese took the book in her hand, without pressing the blue stone like she did last time, she tried to flip the metal cover but she couldn't open the book! she turned over to look at the red eyed man, who is watching her with amusement like he has found something enthralling besides his monotonous Witch hunt!
Anneliese said, "I am unable to open it! I told you my parents are humans and I have nothing to do with it's lineage!"
Vincenzo responded, "Then why the almighty Book of Spells appears on your call! Maybe there is a certain way to open the book!" He paused and thought to himself, "Perhaps, the book do not work by physical force instead listens to its possessor!"
He continued, "Press the blue stone like last time and then command the book to open."
Anneliese went to a wooden table and placed the book on it before pressing the blue stone, The book started to illuminated blue light similar to how her eyes glowed few moments ago which didn't go unnoticed by Vincenzo. She glanced at Vincenzo who ordered, "Command the book"
Anneliese looked back at the book and took a moment before she said, "Book of Spells, I command you to open." And not a moment later, the metal cover flipped over.
Anneliese couldn't look away for few seconds and when she continued to stare at the open Book of Spell, she heard the man beside her, "You belong to the lineage of the witch or the fairy who created it." Ann turned her face and looked into his red eyes, her face clearly expressing her distress and she heard him continuing again, "But Fairies can not lie and You haven't shown any traits of witches either! So we can not say how you are connected to their lineage!"
Anneliese said in low voice, "I don't understand...How is it possible? Am I adopted? Why have I never experienced something like this before? and What am I supposed do now?"
"First we need figure out how can you keep this book to yourself and learn from it because you will be a great help to the Conclave in finding out what the Dark Witches are conspiring and How can we stop them!" stated Vincenzo.
Seeing the look of uncertainty in her eyes, Vincenzo said, "Let's make a deal! You learn the language of this Witchy spell book and practice Witchcraft which may come in use in future and in return, I will not spill your little secret to anyone and will help you find out the questions you are looking for!" He paused for a moment to let the girl absorb his words and continued again, "Do we have a deal, Ms. Riddle?"
Anneliese stared at his red eyes and said, "Do I have another choice Mr...? Wait! You never gave me your name!! I need to know the identity of the person I am getting into a deal with!"
Vincenzo's lips curled up and he said, "That means we have a deal." And he saw the girl narrowing her eyes which amused him and he answered, "I am Enzo and I work for the lord of the Versimoil Kingdom."
Most of the commoners in his Kingdom have never seen him and the girl does not even belong to his Kingdom so she has no idea that he is the lord himself. It's not that Vincenzo can not tell the girl who he truly is, It's just that she is his newly discovered amusement, so he doesn't want to scare her away more than he already did.
Anneliese nodded and made a sound, "Ohhh! You work for the lord!" and asked, "Are you going to tell him about our deal?"
Vincenzo replied, "Not for the time being! Let's just keep it between us for now!" Anneliese nodded in agreement and enthusiastically asked, "So where do we start first?"
Vincenzo replied, "Meet me in the restricted forest, day after tomorrow, where I killed the witch."
Anneliese asked in suspicion, "What for?"
Vincenzo clicked his tongue and said, "Let me make this clear, You will be the one commanding the book and I will be the one commanding you, considering I have the upper hand in this little situation of yours."
Not having an option, Annelies hummed and said, "I will meet you in the forest day after tomorrow in noon."
"Now close the book and hand it over to me, so that I can put it in its place in the conclave's building!" said Vincenzo
Anneliese frowned and asked, "Can't i just command the book to go back to its previous location?" To which Vincenzo replied, "Ohh you sure can do that but we can't be sure if the book will settle at the exact place or not. It will raise suspicion which may also result in your further interrogation by the High Conclave and we don't want that! Do we?"
Without answering, Anneliese handed over the book. Bowing at the vampire, she said, "I should get going now and Thankyou for not killing me, Good bye!"
Vincenzo watched the girl leave and soon his cat appeared beside him. He gave his hand for the cat to jump before the cat sat on his shoulder and he praised his cat, "Good Job Oscar."
