What Once Was

Chapter 14- Written Pages

-Alastor POV-

I stared at the first page of her diary, with her beautiful cursive handwriting, and her small doddles around the entries. I brushed my finger over it, wondering how she felt when she wrote this. I manifested a small radio, and played soothing jazz music to help me concentrate.

I flipped through the pages, filled with dates around the year we both met, and each entry varied in length. There was no doubt that she did live these moments with me, but what happened after that night I killed her? Did I have the right to take a peak in her diary? Was this the best for her.. or was it just for me?

I had to know. I somewhat felt a tingle in my inner right pocket of my jacket, and pulled out her small voodoo doll I made of her, but it was harmless since I would not cause her pain.

She needed to know about this... about us. Even if she hated me once she knew I killed her.

Dear Diary,

As I have written plenty other times, My Parents refuse to let me go the mortal world, most of all, My Dad. He always reminds me its a waste of time to indulge myself with humans, yet he tempted Eve to eat the apple. It's funny cause the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, is centered in our Garden, my Dad thought it would be a good souvenir.

I know he's probably warning me about it because of his experiences, but he cannot possibly expect to just suppress in this curiosity. It honestly sucks. Seviathan has gone plenty of times with his parents' permission and always talks to me about them. Yet, stories won't fulfill my curiosity.

Dad told me, that if I were to go there at least once, it would be hard for me to stop. Dad knows best, and maybe I should attempt to listen to him.

Dear Diary,

There's nothing to do. Everyday its the same routine. I'm also tired of Seviathan constancy coming every other day here to apologize about the messy 'break up' we had not so long ago. I wish something interesting would happen.

Dear Diary,

Mr. Stolas came by over today. My Dad thought it would be a good idea for him to teach me about the stars, and how all realms are connected through them. The lesson was quite short, since Mr. Stolas told me he had to speak with my Dad about a serious issue.

After dinner, My Parents went to go talk to some of the Overlords whom were complaining about their territories being taken away by 'weaker' demons. My Mom told me to go ahead and skip this meeting because she didn't want to bored me with silly arguments.

Anyways, I headed to the library, to look for something to entertain me. Razzle and Dazzle were already there waiting for me. We roamed around looking around for anything 'interesting'. Which we did. A regal looking grimoire, with a navy blue cover, and golden pages, divided by burgundy ribbon. A large red gem decorated its spine as golden borders completed the design of the book. From flipping through the pages it seems that it was filled with spells, and thanks to luck, I found a spell for a portal in the human realm.

With Razzle and Dazzle's help I'll find a human disguise and head to the human realm in secret that is.

Dear Diary,

Oh my Dad! I managed to go there, and all on my own! Surprisingly I blended since none of them raised any suspicions of me. I went during the night to avoid suspicions from my parents and servants about my whereabouts. Razzle and Dazzle helped me set up the portal in the far left corner of one of the gardens, far away from the palace. I was hella nervous, but once I stepped in to that realm, my fascination and curiosity filled me to the brim, and made me forget about these other feelings.
