Chapter 3


I went into the library, as usual there wasn't much people. I said good morning to our librarian Miss Alexa and went to a table at their end of the hall. So,no one would see what's I'm doing.
I borrowed a pencil and some papers from Alexa telling that I wanted to write down some important stuff. I looked at the photos of dead that I'd taken yesterday night and tried to draw those strange symbols. It wasn't very hard cause I'd already had some lessons of drawing from Claire.
After few efforts I'd finally drowned more than 10 symbols and looked at them. There was a one specific symbol caught my eye. I'd somehow saw it before, that's why it was a little familiar. I tried to memories from where I'd seen it but unfortunately nothing came to my mind.

I walked through the book racks to find books about dark magic and ancient symbols, cause I thought this dead body got something to do with nightcreatures' .
I found some books about their rituals and read them briefly but there wasn't anything about them using dark magic. The last time them were during the war between nightcreatures and werewolves. But what'd happened after that ?

I slowly ride my bicycle to my grand's house. It's not that I haven't got any vehicle. I've got a car from my dad for my 16th b'day and I've also got my license too but I like to do thing on my own way. My grand's house wasn't that far from ours. I saw my grand pa working on their garden.
"Hi grand pa !!! " I said and gave him a hug. "Look at my little pup who'd grown up to beautiful young lady."he said and hug me more tightly.
"Where's gran ? " I asked.

" she's in the kitchen and got a suprice for you "

" Then it must be a tasty one " I said and went to the kitchen. I saw grand was making something so I leaned on to the refrigerator looked at what she was making.

"Knock, knock, knock. Emma is here."
My gran turned to my side and looked pleasantly surprised. "Come here Em sweetie and gave your old granny a magical hug to make her young. "
I laughed and quickly gave her a hug.

" gran what are you making ? " I asked and put my both around her weist from behind.

"Well... your mom told that you've got admission to the Clave and leaving on tomorrow. So l wanted to give my sweet Em pie a suprice. " She said and showed me what she was making.

Oh my sweet tooth !!! She's baking her special pie. She made that for special occasions only. I'm so lucky and I felt very thankful to my mom for telling them about that.

"Thanks granny!!! "I said and gave a kiss on her cheek.

While grand was baking her pie grand pa and I went to their living room. Corner of the room was an elegant book rack made out with wonderful carvings. It was filled with old looking lether covered books.

Grand pa told me he was going to have a shower and went up stairs. I went near to the book rack and looked at book titles. There I found a book my grand pa used to tell me when I was little. It's been a long time since I last heard that so I took it out from the rack to read and laid on the sofa.

I'd finished first three chapters when my grand called for me to help her clean the kitchen. While we were cleaning I asked her about grand pa's old book collection. She said that some of those books are the last copy of them and some of are older than many decades or a century .

Our conversation was interrupted by a phone call from Claire. I went out side and answered it.
" Hi Claire! What's up? "

"Emma I think they'd found out something. " she said.

" You mean about yesterday night ?" I asked slowly and looked around to see whether anyone was evesdropping .

"I don't know exactly but something definitely strange going on here." She said.

"Ok,ok. So where are you now ?"
"Luna and my mother headed to the pack house but I'm still here, in the mall. "She said.

"Do you need any help? " I asked and looked at my watch. It's 1.30 p.m.

"No ,no . I'm fine but I think you should also come too Em. I'll meet you at pack house."

" Well I've to do little more worth to do but it's ok . I'll be there after 30 minutes. "I said.

" Whatever you do, be careful Em. Bye." She said and declined the call.
I put my phone into my denin packet and went in to the house.

"Emma who was that?'' Grand asked .

"It's Clair, Grand . You know our beta's daughter." I said and sat where it left that book oh.

''Grand is this the book you story told when I was little?" I asked while randomly looking at pages with drawings.

She looked at the book and said" If you mean the legend of lupus , then yes it is.''

''Can I take it with me to the Calve? I thoght I could read it again after a long time." I said and went through the drawings. I couldn't belive my eyes.That's it . This's where I' d seen that symbol before but what's it doing here in this book. I quickly close the book and looked at grand .

"If you want this all you had to do was asked from me. I won't say no to my one and only sweet pie .But on one condition ." she said with a warning look. "
"what's it grand?"

"This book is very old and it's one of a kind. So as this's the very last copy of this . I want you to protect it and not let anything happen . Ok Emma? "

I looked in to her eyes and said " I promise ."
"That' s my sweet pie"

I looked at my watch and saw it's 1.45 p.m. Claire will be furious if I didn't come on time .''By the way gran , I've got to go home before 2 o'clock. Important work to do . Tell pa that I love him ." I said and ran out.

"Sure Em, and take care your important work before you 'll go to the Clave or you'll left things at home . "she said and winked . 

            Yeah ! I'd always left things at home when I go anywhere. Silly me. But now that's not the only thing I had to be worry about , cause I've got a tangled wool ball to untie .
