I walked around the Library in search of a new book to read. I loved reading. Of course I would never tell anyone else that, someone might think it weired. Kids around my neighborhood already thought I was weired. I had no idea why, I had never done anything to them before, I was always quite and kept to myself. What was wrong with that? Maybe the way I dressed? Though...other kids dressed like this too!
Thinking about all these things made me want to cry sometimes, but I would hold it in while I was here, in my favorite place. Walking around, and scanning through the books, I saw one that looked like it would be rather interesting. I pulled the old red book out and read the cover. "Universe Of The Four Gods". On a sticker in the bottom left hand corner it said "English version, translated by..." The rest had been ripped off.
Shrugging I placed the book in my basket and went off toward the anime section. I got a few books then checked out of the Library. Walking home I picked up the red book and flipped through the pages. Lucky me...every page was blank! Rolling my eyes I put the book back into my sidebag and walked the rest of the way home.
When I got home I saw a framilliar car. Rushing inside to see who it was I tripped, and landed into a large body. Looking up, I saw my ex-step brother Timothy, Tim for short. He was smiling when he caught me then wrapped an arm around my waist, to help me up. We sat down in the living room and began to talk. "Wheres my mom?"
Tim shrugged. "I dont know Madison. Maybe she went shopping for food or something."
I crossed my arms. "She would never do something like that. All she cares about is herself. Thats why your dad divorced her." My mom only cared about her self. She didnt work much,but when she got money she used it for herself. When she wasnt working she was drunk. Its been like that ever since my father died ten years ago, when I was eight.
Tim smirked and stood from the chair opposite from me, he was sitting in. He leaned foward and placed his hands on both sides of me. "Well...its a good thing he did. Or else I would had never been able to make you mine", he said, his lips dangerously close. He was so cute when he was being all flirty with me.
As I turned my head away, I frowned. "Maybe you should go Tim. I dont want to get in trouble if my mom comes home and finds us."
Tim glared at me and pushed himself away. "Fine, whaever. I'll go home, even though it took me two hours to drive here."
He was about to walk out the front door when I came up behind him and wrapped my arms around him. "I'm sorry."
He pulled away from me and opened the door. "No...you want me to leave, so I will. Whatever makes you happy!"
I bowed down my head. "I said I was sorry...its not that I dont want you to be here."
He sighed. "Then what is it? Never mind. You have been acting like this for a while now. When you turn back to normal, give me a call", and with that he left.
Again, I wanted to cry, but I wouldn't. I slowly walked up to my bathroom, undressed, and got into the hot water. I slid my back down the wall and sat down on the cold bath tub floor. Then began to cry. Nothing was going right anymore. I couldnt get a job, get into college, get my mom to take care of herself, cant keep a hold of someone who loves me dearly. What was wong?
As soon as the tears stopped falling I got out of the tub. Then dressed in a black skirt that looked like it was made out of lace, and it had a black slip made under it to it wasnt see through. It went a few inches above the knees. I put on a red shirt that fit snugly on me, and the neck hugged my shoulders. I then put on black high heel dress shoes with black and red stripped thigh socks.
Looking in the mirror I smiled. Now for my hair. My hair was cut just about to my mid neck, so there wasn't much I could do with it. My hair was brown and curly, with my long bangs died red. I parted it on the right side of my head a few inches away from the middle, so most of my red hair was to one side, sometimes falling into my left eye. After applying eye-liner I went into my bedroom and brought out my new book.
I looked at the title again and slowly opened the book. This time there was words. It read:
This is a story of a girl, who made her dreams come true after she came to posses the seven stars of one of the four gods, and many powers were bestowed upon her.
The story itself is a spell. The one who reads it through will be given the powers and granted a wish like the girl in the story.
Because...the story begins and becomes real...The moment the first page is turned.
As she read it aloud, she didnt notice the pages slowly beggining to glow red. After she finished reading she noticed and was about to scream, but never got the chance. Her vision turned red, then completely black, as she fell into the abyss of slumber...
A/N: I hope you enjoyed!
