Chapter 4 4

一You need to be nicer to her, it wasn't nice what you did to her on the very first day.

I'm not nice, so don't ask me to be.

She's scared, how would you feel in her place?

一 I'd feel lucky to be able to summon a prince like me, beautiful, strong, and immortal, who wouldn't? Louis puts his hand on his chest.

But we're talking about humans, a girl tries to think like them, it's not normal for that to happen.

Look Zyan, she'll have to get used to me, I'm not going to be nice just because you want me to be.

Louis looks at Zyan and sits down on the couch.

After this is over her memories will be erased, so I don't care.

We don't know if he already knows where the book is, if he does, the girl is already in danger.

一I get it,I'll do it my way and I won't be nice to her.

一We have to go back to make the contract,and this time we'll have a more civilized conversation because scaring scare someone won't help at all.

It won't be necessary, I've already done that.

Zyan walks up to Louis and stops in front of him and looks at him seriously.

I can't believe you did that. He covers his eyes with his paw.

一She was already going to own him anyway, so I just advanced her side, you should thank me, you're welcome.

一... *I'm going crazy.一It's fine do whatever you want,but if the problem increases it's your fault,remember Louis that if one more person dies,the book will be destroyed.... I'm going to go crazy, I need to relax.

The cat turns his back and walks away,I keep thinking about what he had told me.

一I can't let another person die because of my carelessness...

***

一I am back! said Sandra.

I leave my room and go to the kitchen.

一It's here already,what did you bring?

I look at the bags and start to rummage through them.

一I didn't buy anything big, just a few things for us to eat.

The classes start tomorrow.

I know, but why are you like this?

I didn't sleep well, remember?

So get to bed early today, I don't want to see you sleeping in class on your first day.

Every day you're becoming my mother. Ana put the things in her bag away.

I'm going to finish tidying up my room, there are a few things left to be put away.

一All right, I'll finish tidying up here.

Sandra gives a small smile and goes to her room.

How hard is it to forget what happened, bad time to want to study here, what if I break the contract?

I really need to find them, one more time... I keep thinking until I see Sandra shouting my name, and in the middle of the words she mentions the book, I run out and go to my room, I see her holding the book.

一 Is it yours? Can I borrow it? Sandra looks at the book.

I go to her and take the book with everything from her hand

一I can't lend it to you,this book is too important.

一But I won't spoil it...

一It's not that...Well...After I finish reading it you take it, but only then.

一Why all this mystery? I'm your friend.

There's no mystery, I know, but then...OK?

I put the book on the shelf and pull Sandra out of my room.

Ana closes the door and gives Sandra a smile,she rolls her eyes and goes to the bathroom,Ana breathes relieved and goes back to the kitchen to finish what I was doing.

***

一She is the chosen one. said Sandra 一I need to be more careful now, the book is the most important thing.

***

The day went by too fast,I look at the clock and it's already 8 o'clock at night.

We have dinner and talk about random things,I put my cell phone on the sofa and go to take a shower,I go into the bathroom and start to undress,I make a bun in my hair and turn the water on a good temperature,I stay there for a long time.

As soon as I turn off the water I dry off and put on my pajamas and let my hair down,hang my towel on the shower box and leave the bathroom.

I leave the bathroom and go to the living room to get my cell phone.

一I'm already going to sleep,I want to wake up zero tomorrow. said Sandra

一I'm going too,I just came to get my cell phone,I want to rest a lot too.

Sandra turns off the lights and each one of us went to our room.

一They won't come. said Ana 一It's already late, I better resign myself that my destiny will be protecting a book...

Ana tidies up her bed and saves the alarm clock, she puts her cell phone on the shelf Ana lies on her bed and closes her eyes.

2am

一He only knows how to sleep, can we give up now?

一Louis is quiet for once in his life.

一I'm not going until this book chooses someone else.

一So good luck the next one will be in three years if I were you I would give up and accept that not everything is the way you want it.

Ana hears voices, she turns from side to side, Ana opens her eyes and sees them staring at her.

一Go away,I need to sleep,I have to wake up early,you've already ruined my life...

一Your life already sucked," said Louis.

一But will you be quiet? Zyan frowned.

Anne covers his head with the blanket.

一I told you this girl is boring,I don't want to be her guardian anymore. he points.

一As I said, it's the book that chooses, and we can't go against... Ana, we need to talk.

一We have nothing to talk about,go away.

一I said this girl is boring,I don't want to be her guardian anymore. he points out.

一As I said, it's the book that chooses,and we can't go against... Ana, we need to talk.

一We have nothing to talk about,go away.

一It's about the contact...said Zyan.

Ana uncovers her head and sits on the bed.

Is that what it's about? But first answer me what does it mean? Ana shows the cut.

Louis made the contract with you, your name is in the book.

I saw my name in the book, I didn't give you permission to do this, you go around cutting people when you feel like it?

一Want to talk about permission? Just know...

一If the contract is made, there's no going back," said Zyan interrupting him.

That's wonderful, it couldn't get any worse. Ana rolls her eyes.

一But we came to warn you,since you made the deal...He must already know you have the book,so please be very careful. said Zyan

一I didn't make any deal, he forced me into it, how can I break the contract?

The cat looks at me without saying a word, the boy next to him looks me up and down disapproving of everything, I have never been so uncomfortable.

Zyan stands up and looks at Louis who is standing with his arms crossed.

一There's no way to break the contract young lady.

一Unless you die. said Louis 一Then the contract will create a new sheet, and on the page that was your name a new story will appear, only your death story of course.

Anne looks at Zyan who shakes his head in agreement.

一There's no way to break the contact,you have to stay with him until you finish.

一But what if I don't want to? Because as far as I know I was forced to accept that.

You don't have much choice, either you stay or you die, and I'll take great pleasure in killing you. Louis closes his hand and smiles.

Louis don't talk like that please, you're scaring her.

一If that's the case he could do that right there.

The cat looks at Anne again.

一 Don't take any notice of what he says, he exaggerates, but we need you to have the book. I only ask that you stay with this book until the end, you are stronger than you think.

Louis slaps his tongue and laughs sarcastically.

Anne looks at them without saying a word.

一There are only three things you need to know, one, don't let anyone near this book, two, whenever you go out take it with you, and most important of all don't trust anyone from this day on.

一 Why?

Is it possible that you still don't understand?

一Ah, shut up, I'm sick of you.

Louis appears in front of Ana and stares at her as if he wants to kill her... Ana feels her body shaking, he doesn't say anything Louis gets up and goes back to near Zyan.

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

一As I was saying, He probably knows that you are with book,so the same will do everything to get the book destroyed. "As long as you are with the book Louis will protect you from everything,we don't know what awaits you from now on,if you are without the book,he will have no way to protect you,since the book is something He has been trying to destroy for a long time."

一Just one more thing,don't screw up,I won't protect you all the time.

Louis finished speaking and disappeared leaving a cloud of smoke.

一Count on you Ana, now you're with us.

The cat lowers his head as soon as he gets up he disappears.

Ana's eyes fill with tears she tries to hold back but her tears start to flow, she can't help it, she starts to cry.

"I keep asking myself why does it have to be me? So many people in the world and why me?

Slowly Ana tries to calm down and drink some water, she lies down again and tries to sleep.

***

一She's crying.

Crying is good for you, it's a way to show joy because I will protect you. Louis holds up his glass with some wine in it.

一Frankly you are crossing the line, it can't be easy, I can imagine her fear,do a good job and protect her is not an option, see you tomorrow....

Zyan got up from the couch and left the room, Louis put the glass on the coffee table and ran his hand through his hair.

一Why you? Why not someone else? What is this stupid book going to do? I swear I tried Ana, but now I'll give my life for you.
