Chapter 556

Blue
I stop in front of the car and reach for the handle of the boot. My hands tremble as I open it. There is this energy that comes from being close to the book and I can feel it. I have made up my mind to open it. To ask the book for help.
I know this is a big risk but I need to do this. I need something fast and effective. The connection that the book has with the spirits should make this easier. It should be willing to help. willing to show me how to fix everything that has happened in this place. If Analise killed all the elders, then things are worse than I thought they were.
I see the book in the trunk, it is like a flash of temptation and I have already made up my mind to give in to it. The fear that had for it, is still there but there is determination in my heart. The kind of determination that will make me do anything.
I just want this to be over.
As my hands touch the book, I feel a surge. This is the first time that I have willingly held this thing and now, it feels different. I can feel the energy that it carries. It is so strong, so powerful, and taunting. It gives you this feeling of complete and utter power. Almost like I can do anything in the world.
Right now, it feels like the world is at the tip of my fingers.
Don’t do this outside. Find a safe space.
My wolf advises.
I take the book and their bags into the house. I hear footsteps as I walk into the house and straight to my room. Gyles and Rex are seated on the bed. Gyles stands up immediately I walk in and he walks over to me.
“I want to go look for the room, Eleanor is here right now. Can I go?’’ he asks. The eagerness inside him is daunting. I don’t want him roaming around the basement halls alone. I know what this place carries and I don’t want to have to worry about him.
“Can you just chill tonight, while I figure out how I am going to deal with Analise?’’ I ask him with the hopes that he would listen to me.
He shakes his head “We didn’t come here to chill. How long until they figure out that I am a hybrid. I don’t want to have to be forced into a blood oath. There is no time to chill.’’
I know that he is impatient and I don’t blame him. I mean, at the end of everything I don’t want him here. His scent is not obvious for now, because of the mixture I made but I don’t know if it is something that will last for a while. I don’t know how long it would last and I don’t want it to wear out. I have to make sure that it doesn’t expire here.
So far, things are okay.
“I know this but she is still suspicious of us. I don’t want anyone to see you, roaming about the house. I don’t want her to know our intentions.”
He sighs out in frustration “So I just stay in this room until you tell me to come out?’’ he is giving me an attitude but for once, I understand him. This thing is time-bound. We have less than a week to figure things out and I don’t even have a clue.
“Just let me figure things out. we will look for the room.”
He runs his hands through his hair and I watch him give in to my suggestion ’Okay, fine. I will let you do this.’’
I drop the bags on the floor next to the bed “I want to use the book. I want to use magic from the book to figure out what the hell is going on in this place.”
He smiles “Not so evil anymore, is it?’’ he is being sarcastic but I can’t blame him. I am turning to the one thing that I have been criticizing all along. I know the power that the book holds. I know how dangerous it could be in the wrong hands. The kind of magic that my mother gave into. The more she used this kind of magic, the eviler she became. It sucked her in and now the only way I think she can get out of it is by death.
I have to be the one to kill her and even though this is something that I am dreading, I have already come to terms with it.
“I have no choice. I have to find a way to save us all.’’
He nods “I am in support of this. Whatever it takes to save Eleanor. Whatever it takes to save all those people and the people in the coven.”
I smile at him and his cheeks redden. I drop the book on the floor next to the bags and walk over to the door “I need to shield the room, whatever I do in here could be so powerful. I don’t want to gather attention.’’
“How do you plan on doing that?’’ Rex asks. With how quiet he has been, I almost forgot that he was here.
“I have a spell.’’
I bring out my canines and bite my index finger. Blood drawls out of it as I place it on the white door. Drawing out the symbols that represent a star trapped in a circle. The writing with my blood brightens and just as quick as I drew it, it disappears, engraved into the door.
“That should work.’’ I turn back to them “I want to do this with the two of you. I want to take you on this journey with me. Is that okay?’’ I ask them.
Gyles nods immediately and Rex follows “We are with you, whatever you need.”
That is all I need.
That is the only hope I need to carry me through this.
“Let’s get to it then.”
