Chapter 7: Chapter 7

The light gets even stronger and I'm pulled into the book.

The smell of passion fruit leaves the environment calmer, I open my eyes and I see a big chandelier I get up and look sideways, this place is huge and very beautiful.

- where am I? What is this place?

The door opens I take a little scare from behind her I see a black panther, I take a few steps back and fall to the ground.

- stay away from me, if I don't die with a book, a panther kills me, I really don't have another option?

The panther sits and watches me.

- I did not know that using the book as a door would help, Ana I need your help.

I recognize that voice.

- Zyan?

- Yes, it's me.

- I didn't recognize you, you almost scared the out of me.

- I apologize for that... I should have told you that Here I am a panther, but I ended up forgetting it.

- But what kind of help would that be?

- It's about Louis.

I get up quickly scared.

- Is he okay? Where is he?

- Come on, I'll take you.

We went up a big stairs and we walked a huge corridor, he took me to the last door.

I hesitate to open the door, I look at Zyan he agrees shaking his head and I open it.

I see Louis lying in bed, I go to the same.

- The creature that shot him didn't use normal ammo, I did the whole process but the bruise didn't heal, only you can do that.

- And what can I do? I don't know anything about that.

- You're just going to use your blood.

- my blood?

look at my cut that has not yet healed.

- If we don't do this, he could die little by little because of the poison.

- Don't say that, I'll do whatever it takes.

- That's fine.

He goes up to a black bookcase and looks at the dagger.

I follow him

- That dagger he used to make the contract.

- She's still wet.

- This happens because he decided for you, the contract understands that you did not agree to do this, he refused your blood.

- That's why the cut didn't go off?

- Exactly, the contract needs to have the "yes" on both sides, as you did not accept the cut will stay there, until you agree, if you agree the cut will disappear and your name will come out of the book and stay at the end of it, along with Louis' signature.

- I understood, and what I do now (I take the dagger).

Zyan and I went back to Louis.

- You only need to pour three drops on the bruise.

- Okay...

I approach the dagger in my mother and Zyan interrupts me.

- From the moment you do this you will be accepting the contract.

- If I cut myself... everything you've told me is going to happen?

Zyan agrees with his head and looks at Louis.

- But this will only work if you want, remember the cut? He didn't get out because you didn't agree to the contract, and the same thing's going to happen to Louis... If you do why I called you and not of your own free will then it will not improve, I am not fit to save you Ana the contract is made between you two.

I look at Louis.

- I'm going to do this... ( Take a deep breath)

- Your life will come into danger, and all you have to do is protect the book until the end, and will never break the contract, if you violate one of the rules a very big consequence will wait for you in the future.

Don't you want to think about it a little more? There will be no way to go back, think about it... We don't want to destroy your life, I'm not going to lie to you, things are only going to get worse... it's all about life and death.

From that moment I will not live longer but survive, protecting the book to the end.

- What if I give up?

- Well, everything that has happened until this moment will be erased, your life will return to normal, you will not remember anything, and if you bump into him in the future, the two will be just strangers.

But before you said I had no choice...

- Louis did it on purpose, for you to accept, because he knew you wouldn't agree to it, so he wanted to scare you... but when he decided for you too, the contract refused and the cut is still there, he does not work with one person, he wants the permission of the two.

" I'm thoughtful about everything, so from the beginning I could have given up and lived in peace... having a normal life without relying on a book and him to protect me, I could have gone my way without worrying about tomorrow.

But I don't know why I feel this way, I feel sad, in fact it was my fault that he quit like this, I can't leave them like that... I'm going to take this contract, my life will be different from now on... I'm really scared because I don't know what's waiting for me out there. "

- Is there such a way?.

- There are several other ways, but this is the best way to do...

- And what are the other ways?

- You sell your soul, and the other would be to come back in the exact time.

- And what it would be like to go back in time.

- In this option of time he takes the shots for you, it would be the other way around you who would take the shots...

- You're right I'm going to get this option, she seems a lot better than the others...

- If you do this, there's no turning back.

- I've made up my mind, and I'm not going to go back.

- So you can proceed...

I approach the dagger to where my cut and grip was with force.

The blood begins to drune and falls on top of his wound.

- Since that was your choice then come here.

I leave the dagger on top of the bookshelf and approach Zyan.

The same makes a bandage on my hand, as soon as it finishes its paw remains on top of my hand.

I look at him

- He will do anything to save you, the contract is done, when you return to your home remember, do not trust anyone your life belongs to Louis.

- I get it, I'm going to keep the contract.

- I'll take you to the door.

- Will he be okay?

- he just needs to rest a little... It's all right now, you don't have to worry about anything.

- If he doesn't get better, call me again.

- I'll do as I wish.

We go down the stairs and go back to the room where I came from.

- In a moment you'll come back to your house as soon as I walk out that door.

- All right, take care of him.

- Nothing bad is going to happen to him, I assure you, even more Ana.

- Until. ( Smiles )

Zyan turns his back and leaves, the door closes and a flash appears.

The next morning and Wake up scared and I'm already back, I look at the sides and to my hand I who had the bandage, I undo the bandage and the cut was gone, I feel relieved.
