Corey was your average everyday that was going through a rough patch for what seemed to last forever. Then Corey somehow managed to win a free trip to Los Angeles California all expenses paid. He was very excited to maybe meet some famous celebrities. But sadly throughout most of his trip he didn't meet a single one. Though he did manage to have some fun too. Toward the end of his trip he decided to go to the public library for a change of pace after all who can resist a good book?

When he finally got there he was looking at all of the many books all over the place. Corey realized rather quickly that the library was much bigger compared to the one that was back in his home town. Corey headed toward the fantasy section of the place. To be honest he got lost and overwhelmed a few times by the many different books all around him. After a while he managed to get to the right section in one piece. Corey began reading all the different titles of books. But so far he didn't find any that interest him. However he kept going regardless.

"There has to be something to read here", Corey thought to himself as he looked.

Corey got tired of looking so he sat down on a bench for a moment to collect his thoughts. Suddenly Corey saw a neglected book lying in a opened compartment of some kind.

"What could this be", Corey thought to himself as he picked up the book.

THE book was old all beat up covered in dust not to also mention that it was faded.

"Why would someone just leave you lying around like this", Corey contemplated.

Corey looked at the front cover he quickly realized that no pen name was inscribed on it.

"That's strange, perhaps it was worn off", Corey pondered.

He tried to read the title but it seemed to be written in a different language.

He opened the book and wasn't too surprised to see that the pages of the book were also dusty and faded as well. As he also tried to read the faded pages he just couldn't decipher it.

"Why would someone leave a book like this here of all places", Corey wondered.

At first Corey thought about leaving the book where he found it but his curiosity was getting the better of him. Corey decided to do some investigating on the book itself. The first thing he did was check the back cover to see how many times the book had been stamped. But when he actually looked at the back cover he was shocked when he discovered that the book had never been stamped. Not even once. The book had no signature sheet either. It was almost as if the library had no idea of the book's existence. Corey decided that it might be best if he took the book back to his hotel room to avoid any unwanted attention. After an hour or so Corey made it back to his room. He immediately put the mysterious book onto the nearby desk as he also sat in the chair. Corey turned on the reading lamp as he tried once again to decipher the title of the book itself. But he still couldn't figure it out. Corey then remembered he had a magnifying glass in his pack. Corey then used the glass to see if he could make sense of the words. At that point in time Corey made another discovery. He realized that the book was written in Latin. Fortunately Corey knew how to speak Latin as he easily translated the words.

"The key to Manifestation", Corey read the title out loud.

Corey heard of manifesting before and like many people at first he thought it was ridiculous until he started seeing signs and references to his desires multiple times both in reality and in his dreams.

"Could this be the missing link", Corey thought as his own curiosity got the better of him.

Corey began reading the faded pages very carefully. The book showed mental exercises as well as techniques to ensure manifestation.

"Who wrote this book", Corey wondered to himself as he read the Latin words.

Corey then found the climax of the book the true missing link they keys to manifestation. The book narrowed it down to four words.

"Faith, Focus, determination, and hope equals manifestation", Corey said the words out loud.

But then the book also revealed why many people can't manifest properly. The book explained that something mainly their emotions were holding them back.

"Fear, hatred, desperation, and anger destroys manifestation", Corey said out loud.

"Let go of your fear take a leap of faith and all will be yours", a voice whispered suddenly.

Corey looked around it was almost as if the book was speaking to him.

Corey closed his eyes and released his fear from his inner self. But just then he saw a beautiful woman standing before him and another though unlike the first.

"Beware the dark ones they will feed on your power", the voiced forewarned as one woman started to glow.

Her eyes stared hungrily at Corey. Corey felt a rush like fire burning inside him. But when Corey finally came to he found himself on the floor and he felt exhausted.

He laughed off the book as he climbed into bed and drifted off to sleep.

"He is ready", the voice trailed off.

THE next morning Corey sprang from his bed when he saw what time it was.

"Oh great I am going to miss my flight", Corey said to himself as he checked his phone.

But to his surprise the phone said that his flight had been canceled.

"What the heck is going on", Corey thought to himself.

Corey knew that he might have to extend his stay at the hotel at least until his return flight was ready. Corey proceeded to reception to explain the situation but when he explained it to the receptionist she looked at him strangely as if he was from Mars.

"Is something wrong", Corey asked.

"Sir, your stay has already been extended but I thought you already knew", the receptionist replied vaguely.

"Knew what exactly", Corey wondered.

"Your wife had already extended your stay did she not inform you of this", the receptionist added.

Corey felt embarrassed but confused all the same. Corey just walked away and went back to his room.

"What is going on around here", Corey asked himself as he looked around the room.

Corey the realized something was off about the room. He could smell perfume very expensive too he could tell. He saw a figure sitting at his desk hunched over the book.

"Well well what have we here", Corey asked as he walked over to the intruder.

"I could ask you the same thing", the intruder answered as she spun around the chair revealing herself to Corey.

His eyes widened when he realized who was looking right at him.

"Surprise", Angelina Jolie said with a smile.

THE beautiful woman stood up and caressed Corey's cheek.

"You have been a very bad boy. Messing with power with the morbid curiosity of a mere child", Angelina said as she stared into Corey's eyes.

"How do you know my name", Corey asked.

"I am like you Corey a mage with the power to reshape my future", Angelina replied vaguely as she stared at him intensely.

"A mage", Corey asked.

"There is magic all around us even in manifesting", Angelina explained as she held her gaze with Corey.

"Are you saying that I somehow brought you here", Corey wondered.

"Oh but you did. And your energy is all built up. If you don't release it you may become the prey of those who would feast upon it", Angelina revealed as she drew closer to him.

"Are you toying with me", Corey asked as he folded his arms.

"You know when men usually see me they are a little more obsessive or at least interested in me", Angelina smirked charmingly.

However Corey did not respond Instead he just stood there with a raised eyebrow.

"Sheesh not one for foreplay are you", Angelina smiled mischievously.

"What exactly are you saying", Corey asked finally as Angelina sighed.

"You unlocked the secret of your desires hence why I am here with you", Angelina explained as she touched his hand.

"I still don't understand", Corey replied nervously.

"Corey, you were able to let go of your fears and doubts and dismiss them entirely. You have manifested me into your life. I will admit I helped out a little bit so I guess you could say I am your genie or fairy godmother even", Angelina said as she caressed his cheek again.

It was all too much to take in Corey was overwhelmed.

"Fairy you say", Corey smiled as he sat down on the bed.

"You needed a change Corey and I wanted to give you that chance to begin again. But I only two wishes instead of three", Angelina said as she cupped his chin.

Corey looked at her for the first time almost. She was wearing a simple v neck shirt along a simple pair of pants. She had her hair pulled back in a bun. Corey always did say that Angelina looked twice as beautiful with her hair pulled back. To Corey she was the only woman in the world. Angelina sat next to Corey and grabbed his hand.

"We don't have a lot of time. The energy you bulit must be vented of they will come for you. I can't stay long either my kids will wonder where I am", Angelina explained as Corey still had no idea what she meant.

"What energy and what AM I supposed to do about it", Corey asked.

"I can help you but you have to trust me. Can you do that", Angelina said as she crawled into his lap.

"What are you", Corey asked as Angelina kissed his lips suddenly.

Angelina proved to be a very passionate woman not to mention very gorgeous too. Corey was rendered helpless as he saw Angelina make a rather seductive grin that seemed familiar.

"Angelina", Corey said as she leaned into him.

"Trust me", Angelina whispered as she took Corey for herself.

Corey woke up in the bed and immediately thought it was just a dream.

"Oh well I better catch my flight", Corey said to himself as he tried to get up.

But suddenly he stopped moving when a small arm wrapped around his chest.

"Morning", Angelina said as she kissed Corey's cheek.

"I thought you said the kids needed you. Why are you still here", Corey said.

Angelina got up and she was still in her birthday suit. Corey immediately stared at her rear.

"What the", Corey said as he realized what happened last night.

Angelina slowly dressed herself as she looked at Corey.

"You wanted me to leave without saying goodbye. Hey I am not the one who fell asleep and do you know that you snore really loud. I think we need to have that looked at. It was amazing that I fell asleep myself with that noise", Angelina said as she put her shoes back on.

"What happened", Corey said as he found a wedding ring on his hand.

"Oh don't worry I have one too", Angelina smiled as she showed off her wedding ring.

"What happened", Corey almost screamed.

"Do I really have to spell it out? While I was helping you vent out your build up. You made two wishes. The first one was to become famous. The next one was that we would marry. I agreed on two conditions. One, no harm to me or my kids. Two, no cheating or sharing", Angelina explained as she pulled him out of bed.

"Come on we have to go", Angelina said as she dragged him out of bed.

For a thin woman Angelina was very strong all things considered.

"Where are we going", Corey asked.

"Do you or do you not want to come home with your beloved and beautiful wife and maybe meet your step children", Angelina asked with a knowing smile.

"Yes but this is all new to me", Corey said as Angelina kissed his cheek.

"You'll be fine. And read the script for your part tonight", Angelina whispered.

"What script", Corey pondered.

"Must I explain everything", Angelina sighed.

They went to Angelina's house where Corey discovered that he was a famous actor himself and that he has been married to Angelina for a month. So much has changed in so little time. Later that night Angelina took him to the set where he played a scene for a movie. Corey found out that he had a talent for acting.

But when it was done Corey went back to his trailer where he found Angelina naked before him.

"I do believe this is my trailer", Corey smiled.

"Shut up and get over here", Angelina laughed as she showed Corey a note.

Corey's mouth dropped to the floor as he realized he wrote it.

"This is one of my letters", Corey said.

"One of many that you mailed to me", Angelina smirked.

"You kept them", Corey asked.

"Your words were so sweet. I couldn't throw them out. You called me a queen", Angelina said as a tear stood in her eye.

"I wondered why you stopped. I missed you in a way", Angelina admitted.

"That's why you sent for me", Corey realized.

"The crazy things we do for love", Angelina replied as she embraced Corey in her arms and legs.

"Hold me", Angelina almost begged.

"Thank you for giving me a chance", Corey whispered as Angelina kissed him.

But Corey felt a strong foreboding feeling inside him. Like someone of something was watching or listening.

"They know about you now. You must be careful you never know what will happen", Angelina said as she pulled his pants down.

She took him for a while but Corey couldn't shake the feeling inside him.

"Who", Corey asked suddenly.

"The dark ones", Angelina said vaguely.

Corey remembered the book.

"They will hunt you down", the voice said.

To be continued.
