'Page 516...'
I was careful with my movements. I couldn't make any sounds.
Just a little sound, and I was done for.
Swallowing my saliva, I brushed the bottom part of the pages to look for the page number. Unlike the first book I checked, this book was a lot thicker. There were at least over a thousand pages.
'....I found it.'
Eventually, I found the page I was looking for and slowly and carefully pushed the pages aside to get to the page.
I felt the beat of my heart rapidly increase as I did so.
Finally, I was going to find out more about the tree.
Or so I thought.
'This...'
My mind blanked the moment I turned the pages.
Staring at the page in front of me, all I saw was an image. The page beneath it was completely ripped apart.
Gripping tightly onto the side of the book, I tried my best to keep my breathing steady.
'How...?'
