Instead of receiving the shuteye I need in order to function well tomorrow I find myself staring at the ceiling cursing my own body for being so difficult. Why did I have to suffer from insomnia? Though I suppose its better then the horrific nightmares that used to plague me.

I sit up and look around me, on both sides of me are my roommates in their respective beds sleeping away, one of which seems to be mumbling in their sleep? I try to listen in, but all I get is pure gibberish.

Ugh, what should I do? If I can't sleep I should at least occupy my time doing something productive. I reach down under my bed and pull out my bag and a book falls out. I pick it up.

I don't ever recall packing this...thing. I suppose Eva must of slipped it in my belongings and forget to tell me. No that is definitely what happened for she is a very forgetful person, I sadly am as well... I can already see my future self scrambling to find my things for class, or maybe forgetting things in class, either way something of importance will wind up going missing at some point.

Huh, Twila was the same way too, and Violet they both would get so upset when they would loose track of things. Always blaming others for missing belongings.

Anyway, I suppose I should get a good look at whatever thing book is. I flip it over, wow heavily detail thing aren't you? Looks maybe celtic? Though I am not sure, its very, very strange! Oh there is a clasp on the side to open it. I try to pull it open it doesn't budge in the slightest. Is it stuck? Guess I gotta try harder.

Ouch! The damn thing bit me! I drop the book on my bed staring at my stinging, bloody hand.

While I try to stop my hand from bleeding the book flings open. I glare at it, oh so now you open you pesky thing! Once my hand stops bleeding I pick the book back up and the first page is decorated much like the outside. Oh wait are these things runes?

Blood is on the center of the page, my blood I assume it soaks in and slowly forms into words. The words being: "Iris' Grimoire".

What type of book did Eva send me?! Would of been nice to know ahead of time that she would send me some magical book that drinks blood. Especially seeing my fear towards it.

The book pages flipped more and more until the book floated up high above me. "Hello Magister pleased to meet you, try to stay alive longer then my previous owner, it would be a shame if you got your soul torn to pieces, now wouldn't it?" I...what? "Now, now no don't freak out I am not in the mood for screeching school girls."

This is a thing, this is my life now. I should remain calm and keep an open mind right? This is something that is probably very common in the world of magic. I take a deep breath and attempt to speak in a normal casual voice for this is normal, a very, very normal situation. "Oh, uh you speak? That's cool, that's nice, don't worry I am good, fine totally okay with...this. Totally normal, completely, hahaha..."

"Good job little witch, you're handling this like a pro. So alright here's the deal, I am a spell book, a very powerful one at that, so try to take good care of me, okay? You seem...adequate enough to handle me enough to write your little beginner spells in me, so do so I guess. Once you are more...advanced you can use the more power spells within me okay? Just nod if you understand."

I nod and it speaks again. "Oh yeah I was Violet's by the way, well one of the backup copies of her spell book, if you know, you couldn't guess that. Oh yeah, I guess you are now blessed with the ability to give me a name, so do it, now please, you look like a wreck so you definitely need your sleep."

...I am just going to ignore most of that last part of what the book said and think of a name. "Your name is now Grim." I could be a lot more creative, but I am a bit peeved off by the way they spoke to me, plus I sure that name will suit them well. "Also...wait you was Violet's? How did she get such a powerful spell book?"

"Get? Oh sweetie you underestimate your older sister, she created us, and me well, just for you. Let me give you a glance of all the power she bestowed upon you." Grim opens up wide and strange text forms on all of the pages...am I suppose to understand all of this? It looks like pure nonsense. "...What the fuck? That girl, she! Its all gone, sealed I can't understand a single word! Maybe I can- fuck no everything's wrong, I can't remember a damn thing!" Grim shuffles about in the air as if to angry pace around the room.

...My spell book is throwing a tantrum, this is actually pretty cute. I can't help but to find myself giggling at all of this. Ouch hey! The book hit me in the face! "Ow, please don't do that, sorry!"

"Don't you dare laugh at me! What a way to treat you poor old Grimoire in distress!" The book falls from the air and lands into my lap. "Uhh, by the way I uh need blood to function so...I think I am gonna rest now...kinda low and I don't need you freaking out anymore tonight, rest little witch you'll need it for the things to come." The book snaps shut leaving me in silence with many thoughts still racing through my mind.

I try to open it again, but it refuses after a while I start questioning if everything that just happened was a dream of some sort, but no, the cut is still on my hand. ...I guess I should sleep now, should be easy after that strange yet tiring experience. I slip under my covers once more and I finally fall asleep.
