The grand high joker

Chapter 3

Later that evening she was back in her room and tried to get some rest. She looked out of her window one last time but couldn't see Jack.

She walked and checked him through her cauldron. Even before she ask it to show Jack to her, she heard a voice of a man calling her from the boiling cauldron.

"Meu amor, I am here. Meet me here where the moon gazes the ocean."

She smiled and immediately put her cape around her shoulders and ran down the long corridor until she reached the exit at the back of the hotel. She looked around and found him far away at the cliffs. With a magic spell she conjured herself to his place and startled him when she appeared next to him out of nowhere.

"You surprised me, meu amor.." He held her right hand, all covered with black silk glove.

"My love..." She whispered in a very soothing and calm way. Every air that came out from her lips attracted him so much.

"I brought your long-lost friend here with me." He said and pulled out an old book. Golden brown with black details and fragile pages.

She immediately grabbed the book to hug it. "My very first book of spells." Her eyes almost in tears. She stared at it for a moment and walked near the edge of the cliffs. The moment that she opened the cover of her spell book, a very palpable glow came out and it lit up her face and the whole place. The power between their union is truly intense. As if a missing piece is finally found.

She closed it again and pressed the book close to her heart. "Did you keep all of those things? I lost almost all memories of that time!", she turned around "But Jack, I honestly think we would be more powerful together than ever before! I don't know if you know about my plan but...you could be very useful!"

She was immediately overwhelmed by the thought and the feeling that book of spells gave her so she gave in, and was about to tell him about her plan to eliminate the kids.

"I know your plans." He answered and smiled. "and I'm here.. not just to help, but to also fulfill our plan when we were kids." He walked in front of her and touched her face. "You were in heavy tears when I first met you. Same place, here at the cliffs, sitting on the ground. We cursed all of those boys and girls who made you cry and we promised that we shall never see them, the kids, the young boys and girls, 'cause they are all bratz and we hate them." His voice turned loud. "Meu amor, these young girls hated you for being too beautiful."

"and the boys, you playmates hated you for being the only one who got my heart, my love." She smiled slowly and gently held the side of his face.

"Kids are little evil creatures and you are right,together we are even more powerful!", he grinned and kissed her once again. "I woulf have prevented that way earlier but now I don't ever want to see you crying again!"

She smiled "You won't. I'm very experienced in hiding my emotions. Sometimes I think I don't even have any!"

He held her hand and asked her to sit beside him. "It's been too long.. come sit here beside me."

"The moon gives me life." She sighed.

"Do you know why the moon is is giving you life?" He asked him while looking at her deeply.

"Why, because he lights up my night?",

"No.." he shook his head and smiled. 'Because I told you when we were young that even the moon will fall in love with you, and now there it is. When someone loves you, he will do anything for you." His eyes sparkled while staring at her.

"Really?" She asked.

"Yes, I can offer you my whole entire life, my love. So don't look at the moon like that, 'cause I'm jealous!" They laughed together and their voices echoed.
