Luckys pov:

"yeah my ass it's real, it's just some random tale a parent probably made up themself" My friend Leah chuckled. The wind was blowing outside my window, it would probably start raining soon. Me and Leah was curled up in my bed, the only light was from the lamp that stood on the small nighstand besides my bed.

"Just because you have no believe in magic dosen't mean it's not real, besides my mom once told me about a man who found the book, he got tranformed to another world, but there are rumours that he never returned" It was true, my mom used to tell me all the stories about the book that will somehow get you away to a magic land. My mom said she once tried to find it herself, she was close but couldn't manage to take it.

I turn over, propping myself up on my left elbow  as my other arm reach for my mobile, the screen light up my face as I read the time: 10 pm. "it's geting late, I can text you tomorrow and maybe we can meet up" I suggest as I was also starting to get tired.

After about 30 minutes Leah was finally out the front door, she's taking her car home. I said a goodbye and drive safe as I stood on my porch under the roof then walking inside the house again as warm air surrounded me.

♡︎♡︎♡︎

My eyes flutter open as the sunlight shine through my curtains, I turn over blinded by it. I groan as I sat up in bed, my warm feet meeting the cold floor as I straighten my spine, stretching my arms above my head, my back slightly arched. 

Once I was up I slid on my cargo pants with a basic small white T-shirt with a baggy dark green hoodie. I snake on my gold braclets and a few golden rings. As I walk down the stairs greeting my mom who was siping her coffee in the livingroom probbably watching the news. Walking into the kitchen I spot a map resting flatly open on the counter.  I made my way to the big map that took over the most space of the kitchen table, I bent slithly down as I narrow my eyes ,roaming over the paper as I slowly realize what this was. I see the small x in the corner of the paper. The map are covered with small trees and mountains, describing the lands and grounds.

"Mom?" I called out as I hear my mom Mary rise up from the couch, small steps coming from behind and a sudden hand lightly resting agains my shoulder.

I turned around as my mom smiles at me. I wouldn't say she's old but she's not really young either, small strands of gray hair in her roots fading out to a light brown color. Small wrinkles at the end of her eyes stretching all the way under them, ending just at the other side of her eye. The wrinkle popping out even more when she smiles as her left dimple showing of slightly.

My mom have always been there for me, my dad leaving the picture when I was about 11 years old. My mom made a divorce after he suddenly change, he came home drunk almost every day, even once locked me up in the attic. I once saw him hit her with his belt.. I was 7.

After months of him promising he would change and stop drinking alcohol but end up coming home drunk and abusive anyway, my mom finally had it. We ran away together, I never understood why she wouldn't call the police even tho he acted like that for an entirely (three months) I asked her but she would never gave me an answer.

Anyway after that we have always been together, just me an her. But I actually got a boyfriend about a month ago, of course mom supported me and was happy I finally got someone that will take good care of me.

"I think it's time now" she stroke my check smiling softly at me as she walked around the counter so she was now in front of me on the other side of the table.

"Time for what exactly?" My confusion was probably written all over my face. One part of me know what this is about as I look down on the map again, trailing my fingers over the paper until it reaches the red mark.

"You know all the stories I've told you about this book that would be exactly there" She looked at where my fingers were covering the spot. "And how I once mentioned that I was so close to getting my hands on the book. It's now time for you to try, and don't bother think about school because if you do get this exact book you would never be to think about coming back to school again, never have to think about working because in this book" she taped her fingers at the mark "you'll have everything you ever dreamt of, they have gold that can last for an entirely, food that will make you feel young forever and so much more" she looked amazed and excited for me? Her eyes glowed and I saw a kind of joy.

"But you know the rumors about the man who never came back? Won't that happen to me, maybe there is no way out of it and I would never be able to see you again?" I wanted to go so badly but risking my career and to never see my mom again, I can't just leave her like this. She had a hard life already taking so much care and giving so much love to me, I need to be there for her as well.

"I know that face Lucky, don't bother thinking about me okay, I'll be just fine myself" she waved her hand in the air acting like this is nothing. "Besides I'll grow old and die soon anyway" she said it as joke, but for me? There is no joke in that.

My voice turn soft as I place my hands on her both cheeks "never ever say that, I care about you more than you think, and stop saying things like you'll die soon because you look young for your age" I slightly smile at her.

"Oh? So you think I'm old now huh" the playful smile creeping up her face, her fingers pinching my sides as I squill away from her and a laugh escapes my lips.

"But to your question. The rumors about the man, they're just rumors. Maybe they true but what about it? Maybe he chose not to come back, he may have had a hard life so that was his escaping" she walked away coming back with a handbag? The stripe is supposed to be over my shoulder crossing my back and front, as it rests on my hip.

"Stop thinking what if that happens, what if that..bla bla bla. Do this for me okay" she place both her hands on each shoulder. I look down but her two fingers bringing it up as I meet her gaze.

"It's now or never darling" and then I was on my way to the woods with just a map and a small bag.
