Chapter 21 - The Veiled Grimoire

Heinrich, Catherine, Darcy, and Alice didn't know what to do because Matthias was on Drakeova Island, and it would be very difficult to get there without magic. Therefore, not everyone could go there, just Dracula and the Vampire. Matthias had to be able to go because he was half-demon. He possessed such great power that he could break through to the island.

Suddenly, an antique book fell from Nevada's bookshelf. The book fell, and its pages opened to page 33.

Only people with Witch magic power in their bodies can use this book.

Everyone turned toward the book when they heard it fall. Nephada waved her wand and returned the book to its original place.

Heinrich, Catherine, Darcy, Alice, and Selena decided to leave the witch's house because Nephada didn't even know how to get to the island; her magic wasn't strong enough to break the barrier.

-----

The next day, while Selena was at the library looking for a math book to do her homework, she saw the book again. It wasn't exactly the same as the book she saw at the witch's house, but it was very similar. When she picked it up and looked at it closely, the book was exactly the same as the one at the witch's house. It had a light brown cover that was dirty and very thick.

Selena put the book back in its place and walked toward the table. She opened her math book, and as I reached into my bag to get her pen, the book was suddenly inside. She was very surprised.

Amalie and Eva turned toward Selena. "What's wrong?" Eva said.

"Uh... nothing," Selena replied nervously. "I lost my nail polish even though i brought 3 pens. I think i left it in the classroom desk drawer. Can i borrow your pens?" Selena said, lying.

"Of course, take this." Eva said, handing him one of Selena's pens.

Selena quickly closed her bag, and took the pen from Eva's hand and started working on the assignment. Actually, her pens weren't lost, it was there. She just didn't want her friends to see the book.

When Selena went back to her dorm, she opened her bag and yes, it was still there. She wondered who put it there. Selena picked up the book and opened it.

The book title is....

The Veiled Grimoire

By Solgathis Genevara

Selena opened the table of contents of the book.

Page 137. "Spell to go to Drakeova"

"Spell to go to Drakeova? Isn't that the island Nephada mentioned yesterday, saying Matthias was on that island?" Selena murmured.

Selena got up from her bed and went to meet Alice, hoping she hadn't gone home yet. She saw Alice with Narine and some other students.

Selena is walking closer." Hey.... can't i talk to Alice?"

Alice turned toward her. "Yes, what do you want to talk about?"

"Can we talk somewhere else? I just want to talk to you." Selena said.

Alice nodded. "Okay."

They went away from Alice's friends. They go to the garden.

"Do you remember the book at the witch's house, the one that fell? I suddenly saw that book again in the school library. I thought it was just similar because of the cover, but when Ii ooked closely, it was exactly the same as the book in the witch house. I put it back in its place, but when i opened my bag, the book was suddenly there. When i was in the dormitory, i opened the book and the table of contents had spells to go to Drakeova, which they talked about yesterday." Selena said. She show Alice the book.

Alice nodded. "Can I see the book?" Alice asked.

Selena handing the book to Slice. 

Alice took it from Selena's hands and examined the book. "Yes, this is the magic book that's in the witch's house. They say the creator of this book, Genevara, was murdered by a wizard and her soul is trapped in this book. Matthias and i talked about this once."

Selena nodded in understanding. "Oh... i understand, but i'm wondering why the book.... is following me around."

Alice stared at Selena. "This book could only be used by someone with witch magical power in their body. If this book follows you, you might have that power, you may not be aware of."

Selena looked confused. "I don't have any magical power in me. I'm just an ordinary human."

Alicee exhaled. "I don't know, that's clearly what the dead had to tell me. Alice opened page 137. On that page, there was a magic spell that supposedly, if someone with magical powers like a witch recited it, they could teleport to Drakeova Island."

Page 137. "Spell to go to Drakeova"

"Magiquex Quexar Vartationesa"

Alice recited the spell, but suddenly there was a strong gust of wind, and that was all. Nothing else happened. This happened many times, but nothing happened except for the strong wind blowing from the book.

Alice let out a rough breath. She looked at Selena, who had been silently watching her the whole time. "Try saying the spell yourself." Alice said, handing the book back to Selena. 

"I'm not sure about this." Selena said.

Alice held Selena's hand. "Just try it."

Selena nodded and reciting the spell, a sudden strong wind blew around them and everything went dark. They felt as if they were flying in the darkness and fell to the ground with a loud thud. The wind disappeared, and all they could see around them was a forest.
