The Moons Darkside

Chapter Seven | Mystery Book

Tara met Ki in front of the library he extended his arm, and she took it as they went inside."Do you enjoy reading." tara asked as she turned in her books.

"I would enjoy the weather all afternoon and have an excellent book with me, do you? Ki asked, following behind her. She was leading him to the fantasy section.

"I agree with you; when you read, it's like the e whole world is moving, but you are sitting still with your book. nothing is going to bother you."She looked at her; she crouched down and started to find the books she wanted to take out.

"I'm going to the History section; ill see you in a bit."Ki said, walking away; he grabbed his phone calling someone."Hey, it's me, the girls in place; what about the book."

"The book is in position."The man said on the other line

"Perfect."Ki hung up the phone and went to the history section.

Seth POV

I was in my room studying when I got a call from Milo, and he sounded nervous; it wasn't normal for him.

"Milo. I need you to tell me slowly what happened."I said over the phone.

"I saw Kian or Ki, whatever he goes by now in a coffee shop with your human," Milo said. I got stunned by his words. Tara was with him. How? did she know him? How did they meet? Did she bump into him?"

"When was this."I grabbed my keys and went to my car.

"Ten minutes ago, when I walked in, they left, but I know where there going to the library," Milo affirmed.

"Meet me at the library; I know for a fact that Kian is up to no good," I said, hanging up the phone and backing up from the driveway. What was his plan? Does he even know that Tara and I know each other? Is he using her to get to me?

Tara POV

I was in the fantasy section of the library, crouched down, looking at the new books they had. I was ina a Werewolf spicy mood, so I looked over the binds and found a brown leather book. Without a spin name. it just had gold spirals, and a few words etched in. 'Maledicite in lunas.' (The Moons Curse.) I decide to open the book and sit near the shelves.

This wasn't any ordinary book, and it wasn't even from this realm. It's a Mystical Realm book. I continued to read it, just a bibliography on all things paranormal. Just something that proves that fairytales are true. I get to a chapter on werewolves, how they can hear anything within 50 miles of them. They also don't have sensitive ears.

"That's how he heard me, "I said and continued to read. I wanted to take pictures of it and study it. We know so little, and he waves it off every time I ask Seth. Saying it's not my place to learn.

"Seth, why can't you tell me?"I winced. We're in the library doing our weekly study day where we sit and chat, and Seth would act as my therapist, make me talk about my emotions, and give me pointers.

"Cause it not your place to know," Seth said, looking at me; he was getting more vexed by the questions I asked.

"You always complain that I know nothing, and you can never talk to me. SO started talking."I slammed my book closed, getting more annoyed.

"There are things I can say and can not say. my life outside of school is one of the topics I will not discuss with you, human.'Seth snarled; I sat back in my chair. I had to oblige. I pushed too many buttons and knew I was paying the price.

I sat there quietly reading my textbook, muttering the things to myself, then writing them in my notes. I looked up, and Seth's fist clenched next to his face, and I pissed him off.

"Seth?"He looked up at me, and I proceeded."Look, I'm sorry I pushed your buttons; I don't know anything about where you are from or who you are. Or anything about you. Is it so bad that I want to learn?"I asked. he looked at me, and I felt my heart race into my throat; why did I feel nervous. Why did he make me feel uneasy but calm simultaneously like I could trust him with anything?

"Your right; I forget, bunny. I'm sorry for getting upset. Let's finish without work, and then ill tell you everything you'd want to hear."Seth looked at me, and I smiled at him and continued taking my notes.

I was still on the ground reading all I could until I heard footsteps heading for me. Ki? I hid the book in my bag and grabbed the rest of the ebooks I wanted to get.

"You spent your entire time in this part alone? I thought you'd be off getting other books but nope, still where I left you. Ki smiled, looking at me.

"Well, what's wrong with that? I do love a bit of magic, and fantasy books take me there."I looked at him; pride filled in my chest. I was going to win this argument, and he didn't know who he was messing with.

"But they're just saying the same thing repeatedly; it gets annoying. Ki said. I followed him to a table, and we both sat down.

"I understand where your coming from, but listen to what I have to say. Yes, a story can report itself, but they're different in every way; you can judge by the first chapter how something will go. Besides, you might find your favorite book in a classic."I smirked at his confused face.

"It still doesn't change that they're boring and all about love."He said dramatically. I laughed at his disgusted face talking about love.

"I think that's the reason you hate fairytales."I was checking out my books."It's because you hate to love."

"I don't hate love; you fall for a person, then they either break your heart, or you get married, and you need to live with them for the internet," Ki said. I looked at him and started to laugh."What too funny."

"That's your point of view on love. That's fucking depressing."I go through my bag, spotting the leather book and quickly hiding it. I grab a fantasy love book."Read this and here. I hold my phone, handing it to him. Ki added his number, and I pointed the finger at him."Read the book and tell me if you liked it."

"I don't have your number."He shouted as I walked past him. I smiled and turned around.

"I'll text you."I smiled and got in my car, driving away.

Kian POV

I watched as Tara drove away in her car. She had the book; my spy made sure of that. Then two cars pulled up, and a car door slammed. I started smirking. I walked to the shaded area leaning against the tree.

"Kian Lycan!" I smirked at that familiar voice. Seth Amaris. I looked up, and he had a little friend with him."You have some nerve getting back. He growled."Why are you back." he screamed, getting closer to my face, and I pushed him back.

"Stay out of my way, and nobody will get hurt," I said, disappearing into smoke striking, getting away from the fleabags.
