Chapter three is here! I'm so happy that this story is finally getting reviews! I had been debating on whether or not to stop working on this for awhile, mostly because I lost inspiration. But I was finally able to get my thoughts sorted out and give you this chapter!

Thanks the reviewers:

A Fairy Tale

Trouble

Yami had become so absorbed in his new book that he didn't notice how much time was going by. He was only pulled from his seclusion when a familiar voice called his name. "It's dinner time, Yami."

He looked up, surprised. "Already?" Martha laughed.

"Well it is 6:30." She was smiling. When Yami wasn't studying, he had his nose buried in a book.

Yami stood and stretched, trying to get his muscles used to moving again. "What's for dinner?"

"Well, seeing as your parents aren't home, I thought you might want something simple, so I had the cook make burgers." Yami grinned at the old woman. She knew him better then his own parents most of the time "You know what they say, the way to a mans heart is through his stomach."

She shook her head at him as they left the library. "As far as I'm concerned, your not a man yet. No matter how often Mr. and Mrs. Sennen leave you to fend for yourself."

"I'm not on my own. I have you and the rest of the staff."

Martha shook her head again. "Servants and nurses are no substitutes for actual parents." Yami decided not to say anything more. It was no use arguing with her. He knew she was right.

Yami took a seat at the kitchen counter as Martha served him a large plate of burgers. "Looks like Maurice went over board on the food…" He mumbled. Said cook looked up from a recipe book. "Well you are a growing boy! I can't have Mr. Sennen saying we didn't feed you." Maurice winked and went about cleaning up the kitchen.

Yami downed a few burgers before he became to full to eat anymore. He might be a teenage boy, but he didn't have a bottomless stomach like Maurice liked to think. Yami stayed in the kitchen for awhile to help Maurice clean up, and to have a bit of conversation. By the time everything was clean, the sun had set and it was getting late.

"I better head off to bed, I might not have school tomorrow, but I'm kinda sleepy." Yami had other reasons to want to leave though. He had just remembered the Magicians Guide and wanted to look it over a bit more. He picked up the book and headed for the door.

"All right, I'll see you in the morning then." Said Maurice as Yami left the kitchen.

Yami glanced at his watch as he made his way to his room. It was later then he though, 10:36. 'Wow. I lost track of time fast.'

Yami froze. Something was not right. He strained to hear anything out of place. He had almost given up when he heard a voice. "It's got to be around here somewhere. Lord Nazeal said it would be in the room with many books."

Yami hid behind a large statue. People were in his house uninvited, and from the sound of it, they were headed to the library.

He snuck through the dark halls toward the library, careful to stay quite a ways behind them. Yami vaguely wondered what they could be looking for in the library. Sure they had priceless books there, but they had passed multiple paintings and vases that could easily fetch three to five times more then any book.

Yami tried to get a good look at the intruders, but the halls were to dark to see more then silhouettes of them. But he could tell they were tall, and quite slender. The perfect bodies for thieves.

Yami waited outside the library for a little before following them in. He knew the library like the back of his hand. He would have the advantage here.

Yami hid behind bookcases and continued to follow them, waiting for the perfect opportunity to attack them.

They climbed up the stairs to the second floor, and still Yami followed silently.

"Is this it, Tonnin?" A female voice asked as they came to the door to Mr. Sennen's study.

"I believe so." There was a small glow and the door swung open. Yamis' jaw dropped. He was certain he had shut the door tight when he left. It should have been locked!

Yami waited for the outside the study. He would ambush them when they left.

They made quick work of the study.

"Where is it?"

"You don't think they figured out what it is, do you?"

"Of course not! The mages of old killed each other in their petty quarrels! We have researched and the only descendants left are kept under close observation. The book has to be here!"

Yami looked down at the book in his hands. 'Could they be looking for this book? I think they mentioned something about mages? Are they implying magic exists! No! Of course not. It has to be code for something. Magic isn't real.' But the he remember the glowing that had seemingly unlocked the study. Well he supposed trying that first spell from the book, The Binding Charm, couldn't hurt. What had it said again? 'I think I remember reading that I have to have the person in my sight.'

Yami peaked around the corner. One of them had just bend down behind his fathers desk, but the other, the male, was standing beside it. In plain sight. The light of the moon gave the room a creepy look. He took a deep breath. "Kante tous Desmostis." (1) He whispered. Yami felt a strange tingling through his entire body.

The male instantly became ridged and the female stood up quickly. She was looking in his direction.

"Who is there!" She yelled as her partner fell over, stiff as a board. Yami ran for it, to freaked out to try the spell on the girl. He raced through the library, not sure where he was going to go. He wasn't thinking right at the moment. He had just shattered his very views of the world and his head was spinning. The spell had actually worked.

Yami had almost reached the library door when he heard someone behind him. And a familiar phrase was yelled. "Kante tous Desmostis!" Yamis' entire body instantly became like stone. He fell face first onto the floor, The Magicians Guide still clutched in his hands.

He felt someone roll him over. It was the girl. "I thought I felt a presence following us through this house. And look here, just the thing we were looking for." Her partner came up beside her.

"What the hell happened? Was it this kid that put the binding spell on me?" She nodded.

"Great! Now we have to take him back to Lord Nazeal."

Yami was panicking. He couldn't move and now these weird people were going to kidnap him. But he didn't get a chance to try to think of a way out of this before The girl said something. "Ypnos." (2) Yami instantly began to feel drowsy. He was losing consciousness.

Yami fought against it at first, but the exhaustion was to strong and his vision faded into darkness.

-oOOo-

Well that was much shorter then the last chapter, but if I kept going then it would be waaaaaay to long for my liking, and besides, I wanted to give you guys a nice cliffhanger. :)

(1) - Make then bound
