Chapter 4

Previously

I let go of a breath I didn't know I was holding and pushed the heavy door open to slide in. I turned on the light and words caught in my throat. I gasped…

Sydney p.o.v

... The room was huge, it had walls of old book sweeping round the back and side in a semi circle. There were lots of shelves filled with weird objects I was yet to understand. Although what caught my eye was a large oak plinth in the centre of the room. It had the same details as the door and on top a book was resting, almost glowing. It had ornate designs and looked hundreds of years old, covered in dust. I felt drawn to it almost. Slowly I took small steps towards it. As I neared it I began feeling dizzier. Reaching out I pushed through the spots crossing my vision. I touched the book; it was leathery but felt very delicate. I felt where there should be a clasp or means of opening, but nothing. Then I felt a spark and those spots took over blending into darkness.

A while later

I slowly opened my eyes to have to close them instantly again from the setting sun. Wait, how did I get back here, last I remember I was in that room. I looked around; I was in one of the court gardens that Rose said she had to landscape as punishment, for something. I realised I had to get back to the apartment as it was almost vampire morning and Adrian and the kids would be suspicious and worried.

I slowly made my way back to east wing and palace housing. Sneakily I slipped into our room and climbed into bed, snuggling up to Adrian. I made sure I didn't wake him then let myself be consumed by sleep.

"Sage sweetie, we need to get up and get the kids its Jill's breakfast thing today" my husband's voice woke me an hour later.

"Okay fine, I'll go get Nash and Lily-Rose and you can pack bags" I replied grumbling. I stood up and walked into the kid's room.

"Hey babies time to get up, we are gonna visit auntie Jill"

"Yay!" they were up like shots and putting on clothes I laid out last night.

10 minutes later we were stood inside Jill's apartment

"Hey guys, the others are in the lounge" Jill greeted us "Syd could you help me cook the pancakes, I always burn them" She looked upset.

I smiled and nodded "Of course lead the way" I bent down t the kids "go and see if you can find Auntie Rose" they ran of Adrian tailing them.

"Okay Jill so we need to cook each side for about a minute, then turns it okay?"

I missed the times like this where I could just hang out with Jill but she always has to do princess duties now and I obviously have the twins to care for. As much as I enjoyed this though, my mind kept returning to that room. Why had I passed out? Was it something to do with magic or was I just dizzy from the lack of recent sleep? And of course how did I end up in the gardens?

I looked around the faces of my slightly disfunctional but amazing family. I knew I could trust them with this. Hell maybe one of them even knew what the room was or why it had made me pass out because I was certain that it had. We were sat eating our breakfast consisting of croissants, bacon, egg, sausage and of course pancakes.

"Hey Rose, Dimitri you wouldn't mind looking after the kids for a bit? You seem to be really good with the twins" I smiled at the guardian duo sincerely "and the rest of you I need to show you something"

"Of course Sydney, Roza and I would be happy to" Dimitri spoke from across the table, whilst Rose shovelled down her 3rd plate of bacon and nodded.

"Oh an adventure Syd, sure" Jill said and the others agreed.

We sat in silence for the rest of the meal. After we had washed the plates I went to find my angels in the lounge.

"Hey sweeties, your gonna stay with uncle Dimie and Auntie Rose" they couldn't say Dimitri yet, he thought it was funny.

"Yeah! Thanks momma" they hugged me and ran to find the pair in question.

"You ready then" Adrian came up behind me and snaked his arms around my waist.

"Yeah babe let's get the others and we can go"

Our group followed me out the door and the short distance to the corridor with the strange door.

"Hey I remember this" Adrian spoke.

"I don't think I do?" Jill whispered uncertainly.

"Me neither" Eddie added.

"Well follow me"

I slowly made my way to the door and heard everyone gasp. I reached out and slowly again I pushed on the handle and made my way in instantly feeling dizzy again. Looking behind me I saw everyone's amazed expressions.

"Adrian the kids and I found it when we got lost a few nights ago" I shot him a look.

Although I noticed he and Lissa were fixated on the book with glazed expressions. Then they both walked forward, touching it at the same time. Then something weird happed, a purple light filled the room.

"Everyone run, I'm not sure what's going on but it doesn't look good" Eddie yelled and we scattered.

A few hours later

I couldn't believe I was doing this; I was back in the strange room with Eddie as 'apparently' a guardian has to come with me for safety. I'm not a child but I'm a little glad. This place is freaky. Although strangely I wasn't feeling dizzy at all.

"Why did I let you do this again?" Eddie asked.

"Because I need to know what that book is, I feel a connection, okay."

"Fine"

We walked up to the book and strangely it was lying open. I reached out delicately holding it, no dizziness at all strangely. I gently turned the frail ancient paper and couldn't believe what I ...impossable...it can't... then I heard Eddies sharp intake of breath and racing heartbeat. It wasn't just me it was there in plain English it was a spell for...
