"Dawn" Alexander says as I'm sitting in a chair in the library reading

"Alexander" I reply

"Your grandmother still hasn't showed up, is there something I should know?" He's asking if she's dead

"She's alive and well last time I spoke to her" I say and turn a page

"And that was when?" He asks

"Yesterday" I know I can finish these books in one night but I used to enjoy reading so I'm trying to get back into the habit "my mother hasn't told her anything about what's happening because she's plotting against you"

"How do you know?" He asks suspicious if I'm helping

"Because it's my mother and I know her, she's putting everything in place to be able to kill you because you're the easiest checkmate ever" I say nodding at the chessboard "it's easy because you're starting without some pieces"

"And you know how to prevent that?" He asks

"Give those pieces you're starting with a place" I close the book and put it down "you've benched the queen, the guard in front of the king and a castle so a few moves on her side and it's checkmate"

"Who are these pieces?" He asks

"Eve, William and me" I say "Eve might be human but she guarantees a certain shield from my mother" I place a small guy in front of the king "and if she reaches the other side she can change, William is the castle he can trade places with you after these two have been placed in front of the little guys" I switch places with the king and the castle so the castle is near the white queen

"And I suppose you're the queen" he says

"Yes, I can move anywhere anyhow except like the horses who are the other species in the town and don't really work for you but gain out of my mother's death, they aren't connected to her and can take her out if they have the courage" I place the black queen in front of the white queen "I'm her precious angel and my appearance will make her question her decision, but the only thing I ask in return of placing these pieces in their place is that you leave my grandmother alone and human mother" There is a weird sound like a single heartbeat as he stares at me "What was that?"

"Nothing" he replies quickly but his heart doesn't beat,

"There was a heartbeat" I say

"No" he states and I remember reading about a heartbeat from an Immortal in one of these books so I walk to the bookshelf and reach for a book but he grabs my wrist stopping me from getting it.

"Why don't you want me to know why your heart beat?" I ask suspiciously

"It didn't" he lies and it's the first time ever that he's lied

"Your heart beat and your lying, what's up with you?" Can he turn back human?

"Leave it" he says and takes the books that reference to an immortal heart beating and takes them out of the library after he was very clear on no books leave the library.

Okay I know I know, it's short but it's short and sweet but I'm publishing 2 chapters at the same time I just need to copy paste from the original to a new chapter and stuff...

So if you've read the past chapters you'll know what a heartbeat means if not good luck understanding the story my friend and I wish you a good journey

So I've been itty bit busy the past few days with the whole online classes and teachers thinking because we're home already that more things to study are acceptable when it's obviously not and I'm drowning but that's not important right....

....graduating isn't that important....😅....

Anywho, I hope your life isn't a big mess and I wish you well on the Friday of 13th in 2020....that's gonna be something different

Imagine if Friday the 13th in 2020 would end up being the only day that went well and everything came out great...that'd be a good change, but I expect one of these:

Alien invasion

Zombie apocalypse

Meteorite that'll cause a singing and dancing zombie alien apocalypse invasion😁

Or the supernatural coming out and letting us know they actually exist and us that write about them freeze and smile awkwardly knowing deep down so much of our fiction is incorrect and that we've been writing about something that exists making it no longer just our imagination making fiction but reality based fiction...😱...that'd be so cool but that's why I made humans a part of the supernatural so that technically we are all supernatural....

Okay okay I hear you I'll stop blabbering and I'll just let you go on with the next chapter,

Bye🐼🦁
