Chapter 72

My hands held tightly to the gilmore as I read through it, making my eyes widened like it would fall onto the spell book soon.

The more I read the harder It seemed for me to try anything productive with it, my mind wandered from the book and then to Rex, to Derek and then for some reason to the psycheia.

It felt hard for me to connect to what I was doing or probably trying to do with since nothing had changed till now that was late in the evening.

"Grrrr!" I sounded furiously after each trail that was failed.

I soon felt my body vibrating in anger with a suspected agitation that might take over my reasoning in no time.

"It would had work a long time ago....if only Rex was here with me" I cried flinging the spell book across the room before falling to the ground with my hand on my chest.

It was obviously stated that nothing was going to happen differently from the trial and error that had been going on since I had my hand on the book.

"That's it, I've had enough....this is it" I muttered to myself in a dry tone, feeling my fatigue might overcome the whole of me soon.

I reached for a nearby coat that was actually my favorite, and left for the woods.

The cottage appeared more appealing than before, there were lights placed around and two huge flower vases stood with brilliant colors of flowers within it.

The door looks new even if it was still the same door as the old times I use to visit without Derek's permission which was same even now.

The door handle was shiny like it has been washed or either repolished with silver.

I hesitated for alittle while before turning the handle with such strength that I felt the door shook slightly, maybe it was just in my head.

'wow' I thought looking straight at Rex in the corner of his, engrossed with what he was doing with definite pleasure.

He was busy with a human size sculpture that looks breathtaking, every curves on it brings about a sense in reality and reminded me of old times.

His head went from side to side as he seems to be humming the rhythm of what he must be listening to, he had earpiece on.

I walked slowly to my favorite chair in his sitting room where I sat and admire his diligence on his art work.

He moved his head sideways and saw me sitting there like a ghost as I beamed a bright smile his way.

His eyebrows rose and his eyes widened with awe , while his lips parted slightly and his carving tool dropped simultaneously "What....are you doing, here?" He asked with mush uncertainty.

"It's been awhile Rex, how have you been?" My hoarsey voice betrayed me when I tried to sound friendly and only warm.

He said nothing but stare at me in surprise, I walked up to him to give him a squashing hug that seems to be hurting my bones and not his.

I pulled back on realizing that he wasn't going to respond, maybe he's tired up in his mind or something.

He stared at me blankly as I backed out and went to seat again without saying a word to him.

Jane came into the room with the friendliest and most charming smile I've seen of her.

She flashed me a warm smile as she sat opposite me and exchanged pleasantries with me from the way she looked at me.

"Should I get you cookies?" She asked looking excited to see me, I hated the way she smiled and talked to me like we had been bestie before.

"Being starved and sold isn't fun for me even if it is for you" I mentioned Coldly, looking straight into her eyes like I was going to see through to her soul and know the reason behind her smile.

She trembled alittle and them looked at Rex who was lost looking at me and then to me again with another betraying smile that almost got me crazy.

"Are you ok Elena dear?" She asked smiling as she bent her eyebrows and her head to the right as she studied me more.

Nothing about her made me felt normal from her squared eyebrows down to her pretentious smile, at the moment I knew what was best to do than waste more time being unproductive.

My impatient legs took me towards Rex who was still staring from Jane and I, he took few steps backwards as he noticed my motion.

I grabbed him by the waist and went straight into dream walking in his head.

There were invisible presence that I felt in his head, roaming around with spread more without aim or direction.

Derek's voice sprang from within from anong the countless invisible presence that I felt, his voice came more loud just like the way he would talk to Rex when they were in the woods fighting.

"I'm way more better and brighter, and you know that....you can pretend all you want about wanting our safety and being close when there's danger!" He barked at the listener who must be really mad at the moment.

"How better can you be when you've been in the human world half you youth and now you want to be the leader?" Rex's voice came as thunder in a rainstorm, three times louder than his brother's.

"I've being the one staying home and keeping the pack safe, and you want to lead....who exactly?" He seems to be lashing Derek with the tone of his voice.

"You're pretender, and that's all...you stay with us doesn't mean you are capable of doing what I can!" He blasted in a higher pitch as his footstooms were going everywhere.

"Yes, I've been here and I kept the pack safe, being good to them and that's what I'm asking for which isn't much to keep doing just what I love doing" his voice came more tenderly this time that I couldn't believe how he managed to do so in short time.

"σε βλέπω" a third creepy voice called from the midst of the going on in his head.

I felt instantly weak and unable to move, my neck stiffened and my legs refused to work at this.

My whole body jolted from the inside, I could hear Rex calling out for me maybe to save me or stop me from leaving.

Words failed me as I tried with what seems like my whole vocal strength but I couldn't mentioned a word, not Rex's name not trying to call for help.

I was slowly vanishing, fading away or probably dieing, my eyelids were about to close andy tongue got stook at the roof of my mouth.

Dieing, was I dieing so soon?.
My hands could not move too and I breathe again, the one that seemed to be long and was also threatening to be my last.

I gave up the struggle of live and death, soon I was lost....far far in nowhere.

My eyes open slowly to come in contact with a feminine structure that sat on a chair by the dressing mirror, fixing her makeup.

The room was painted baby pink with some of pictures of people that seem famous hanging on the wall.

The lady on the chair suddenly turned around to meet gaze with me, she turned around again to blow kisses at her reflection before turning to me again.

"I'm to class now, I would tell the you plan once I'm back" she announced with a small smirk before making aim to reach for her bag.

That was Jane, Jane, I could feel my head spinning and my heart beating faster too.

'How could it have been Jane?' I thought surprisingly, looking from her to the wall and then to the mirror ant them to the open window.

My eyebrows rose and my eyes widened, my mouth slightly opened and my jaw dropped.

"What plan are you talking about?" I asked in a strange tone that made me wonder if I had really said anything to her.

"Plan of getting rid of your student loan" she replied in a snap as she took her bag and headed for the door that I just happened to take notice of.

She doesn't seem surprised to see me as much as I was, she smiled again, slowly shaking her head in a repeated manner before she left.
