Chapter 4: Chapter 4

- I'm just asking you to stay with this book until the end, you're stronger than you think.

Louis snares his tongue and a sarcastic laugh.

I look at them without saying a word.

- There's only three things you need to know. 1 Don't let anyone get close to this 2 book whenever you go out take it with you and most importantly don't trust anyone from today.

- Why?

- Is it possible that you still don't understand?

- Shut up, I'm sick of you.

Louis shows up in front of me and looks at me like he wants to kill me... I feel my body tremble, it doesn't say anything, it gets up and comes back to Zyan.

I thought I was going to die, i think i'd better have to put up with this guy, because I don't want to die.

- As I was saying, He probably knows that you have book,so the same will do everything to make you die so that the book is destroyed,while you are with the book Louis will protect you from everything,we do not know what awaits you from now on,if you run out of the book There's no way to protect you, since the book is something he's been trying to destroy for a long time.

- Just one more thing,don't screw up,I'm not going to protect you all the time.

The same one finishes talking and leaves.

- I count on you Ana now you're with us.

The cat lowers his head as soon as he lifts it disappears.

My eyes fill with tears, I try to hold on... but they start to run, I can't help it and I start crying.

I keep wondering why it has to be me? So many people around the world and why soon me?

I calm down little by little and drink some water, i'll go back to my bed and try to sleep.

___

- She's crying.

- These are the weaknesses of humans... crying is good, it's a way to show joy because I'll protect it (Hold your glass with some wine).

- Frankly you're crossing the line, it can't be easy... I can imagine her fear, do a good job and protecting her is not an option, I'll see you tomorrow...

He gets off the couch and leaves.

I put the bowl on the center table and put my hand in my hair.

- Why you? Why not someone else? Why is that stupid book going to do it? I swear I tried Ana, but now I'm going to give my life for you.

The next day I wake up with a good smell, open my eyes slowly and get up slowly, look to the side and see the book in my bed.

I take a little breath and put it on the shelf, get up and make my bed, go to the bathroom and do my usual routine... I'm going to go to the kitchen and open the fridge and i'll get the milk carton.

- I did some hot mixed...

- Sounds good...

- Are you okay? You look like a little fall.

( Makes a peck )

- I'm fine, don't worry.

I take a mix and sit in the chair.

- did you cut yourself? ( Points to my cut )

I look at my hand.

- There is, a little carelessness of mine. ( I close my hand)

Why hasn't that come out yet?

A few minutes later we get ready and take my purse, look at the book and put it in the bag and leave.

Sandra and I took the elevator, we were anxious to start classes, on the way I had the impression of being chased.

- I think we are being followed (I speak close to your ears)

She looks back and sees a lady walking with her head down carrying a large bag.

- You're just an old woman,you don't have to worry.

I look in disguise and look at it

- I really don't have to worry about anything.

We went to college.

- I said, be calm

The old woman raises her head and her eyes were black the same opens a smile and disappears.

We enter the room and choose a good place to sit the students are arriving gradually, I see a boy sitting two tables us, light clothes and white hair.

A few minutes pass and the teacher shows up.

- Good morning class... I'm happy to be here, I want to spend a good time with you, make an effort that we're going to get along, to break the ice how about a couple come here and introduce themselves?

I'd like to meet a little of you.

Each pair performed, the teacher asked a few questions and each one answered, Sandra and I went forward, she starts performing and I'm waiting for my turn.

- Good morning, my name is Ana I'm 23 years old and I hope we got along.

We're back where we belong.

- Since everyone has come forward, we can start the lesson.

The boy with the white hair turns around and stares at me, I look at him and I turn my attention to the teacher.

An hour later the class ends and we went to campus.

- I really enjoyed the class.

- Me too... ( Bite an apple)

- I don't know if you noticed, but there was a boy watching you all the time.

- He must have just confused me with someone he knows.

- I know... I'm going to pretend to believe that.

We sat on the ground by a tree.

- I'll be right back, wait here.

- Okay, don't take long... We'll be back in a little while.

- I won't be long, I promise.

She gets up and follows her direction, picks up my cell phone and sends some messages to my parents.

__

I approach Louis who is wearing sunglasses and Zyan by his side

- so... What are you doing here?

- I just came to give you a warning, keep an eye out it could be anyone... feel something strange maybe this is our last contractor

- until this isn't over don't trust anyone...

- okay... I'll do it.

___

Hello, ma'am.

I look up and I see the white-haired boy with his hand in his pants pockets.

- Hello, hmm Gabriel, right?

- Do you have a good memory, can I sit here?

- Sure, feel free.

- Do you live near here?

- Let's just say yes.

- if you have any questions a shoulder to cry, or if you want to leave, you can call me, that's my number, we can be great friends.

- Thank you. (I take a piece of paper with the number)

The same one gets up and leaves.

- um, look at her scumming hearts right on the first day of school.

- He's weird...

- All the cute boys are weird, well you could ask if he has friends.

- That's not why, it seems like I've seen him somewhere, but I don't remember... it looks... I don't know but I've seen him, I've seen him.

- Maybe you saw it when you were coming here,because ever since we got here you haven't even left.

- No, it doesn't look like you've been coming here... I don't even know how to say it.

- you can remember him going into the room what you think.

I get up and take my bag and go back to the living room.

________

- You're walking around with the book, so that means the contract is already done, such a beautiful and radiant girl got lost in the lies... If I'm lucky, I'm going to save you.

__________

We sit in our seats and I look at the paper, and the front table and it wasn't there.

- Why isn't he here? Did something happen? ( Whispers )
