That morning I went in search of the book my friend found the demon ritual in. The local library was deserted half the time, which made it the perfect retreat from school, home and the weirdos that roamed the streets.
Once entering I realised I had no clue where the book would be as Catarina (my friend) would usually pick out the books we would read, Despite this, I paced along aisle after aisle of leather bound books in the historical section, not quite sure what I was looking for.
Finally after two hours I gave up hope and slumped down into a red plastic chair in the corner of the library, I tried to visualise the book Catarina found the ritual in, to see if I could identify it visually in the bookshelf instead of randomly searching for books under demonic rituals.
I focused hard on the last time I was here and managed to visualise the book. Suddenly I heard a hard thud on the ceiling. I scoured the ceiling to spot the source of the noise. Only to my amazement to see the book Catarina had found the ritual in, floating to the top of the ceiling. I thought about how it got there in the first place and how it should be obeying gravity, when suddenly the book dropped to the floor, as if by my command. I tested my theory by thinking it should be floating, and it did.
After a couple minutes of being completely shell shocked, I recalled that I bargained my soul for telekinesis, I never thought it would work, I guess I forgot about the telekinesis once I'd witnessed the manic red eyed man who dispersed before my very eyes.
Once dropping the book to the floor, I picked it up and opened the book only to hear the familiar sound of the spine cracking and pages flicking as half part to one side and the others to the other half. That typical musty book smell that reminded me of countless evening spent pouring over books, filled the area when I rapidly flicked each page searching for the ritual
Successfully finding the correct page I closed the book and scan it out of the library. Whilst walking home I have to admit I was only moderately pleased to have found the book, as that was only a small victory, however I was way more excited about my new discovered talent of telekinesis,
And the fun I could have with it...
