Amagnus was a town which was the perfect representation of what humanity had emerged from and what it's darkest parts held .

Bloody streets , homeless people all across the street , people being sold off as slaves to be tortured to death or worse

live

It was a bright monday morning and someone had just been woken up with a startle . A pleasant start of the day . Wasn't it?

Jasmine's pov

A familiar voice had been banging their head and screaming their souls out in front of my door early in the morning , not even the ghosts were up this early , It'd be a shame to the the beautiful dawn sky to even categorise this as morning , I could see the moon bright and clear and no signs of sun till far stretches of the sky neither was it pleasant either way   .

I rose up from my bed stretching my limbs all numb and sore from my training from yesterday and my brain tickled me with the fact that I was missing someone little , a little green someone.

"Esper come here , good morning baby"

A green cobra comes crawling near me

The banging on wooden door had not stilled neither had it even lost it's pace or sound .

Who in the world thinks of coming this early in the morning .

I opened the door and realising who had been standing in front of me made a bit more sense to all the senseless knocking and headkicking .

poor door

"What is it ?" I titlted my neck a bit to get a better angle of the small crooked man infront of me .

Broken front teeth , infected wounds all over the face , his clothing barely clothing any of him .

couldn't have been in a worse shape than this , UNCLE.

"REnnnnnnntttttttttt , I came for the reeeennnnnnnnnnnttttttttttttttttt . " He sang in a off beat horrid tune .

My ears were starting to hurt

"Are you somewhat slow in the part that is enclosed by your skull ? I mean look at the time , the perfect time to come ask for rent that has already been paid . 3 O CLOCK IN THE MORNING . "

" comeoooon personal matters do not include any buisnesses..

Money ain't anyone's relative."voyager said

'I suppose you didn't hear the part when I said"already been paid " ?'I clicked the heel of my foot in a rhythym impatiently. 

"OH you DIIIIIIIDDDD.?????? you did ? you did  ... YOU DIIIIIDDDDD..."

"Ladadida to you then . "he danced his way trailing back the steps he took to visit me .

I sighed on his usual behaviour .

I went back into my house still sleepy as fuck and tried to make myself awake by slapping my cheeks little  . My eyes were barely opening .

Maybe some water will help

I went into an empty trance while finding ummm... something ... I don't know .At this point , this is not even natural to look like a freaking pale ghost that too at a time like this in early morning .

Just 5 minutes of sleep for a fresh start won't hurt . It wouldn't .

I'm finally awake .

after 5 hours of my 5 minute nap.

Well atleast I'm awake .

I freshened up and wore my usual outfit and took esper in my hands and glanced in the mirror for a sec before heading out .

It was a busy day , bustling and jostling of crowds . Nothing new that I could see

I saw someone with a pile of books in his hands and judging by the clothes I exactly knew who it was .

" Looks like someone is in need of dire help." I jumped across the wall .

" Well I could definitely use some. " He said while I took some books from him .

We walked upto a library and entered it when..

"Hello there darling , its been ages since you last visited .How horrified would I be if I get to know you left reading ??"

An old lady's voice stopped me .

" AUNTIE ZAYDAAA !! How have you been? And you couldn't be any more wrong . How could I ever stop reading ?"

I would be lying if said I didn't love reading . It helped me escape from this circus of reality .

I roamed the library a little while in an attempt toi find a book that'll catch my eye and something did not very long after .

" Lucas , pass me the book just above your head , yes that one ." He passed me a book that looked old and rusty seemed as if no one had read it in years .

"Cataras mistica, what an antique beauty for a beauty . Beautiful piece , I've personally got them from a near kingdom I visited " Zayda said .

"If you like it so much then it means I'll be coming way too often to get this to read once in every while ."I gazed at the beautiful cover , maybe it was gold and seems like the original copy of the writer . This would have costed aunt dozens of gold coins . Maybe even a little fortune if this was famous in it's original kingdom .

"If that's the case dear , I'd love you to take it . It's a little treasure that should be passed to someone who would treasure it as much as I do . 

I tried to refuse and tried to pay for it but she was adamant to let me keep it for free. And I lost , she was one of the sweetest people in the town . The guilt still tripped me , I took someone's little fortune .

"you took him , you're the fucking reason we lost him you little bitch . GO DIE AND I WON'T EVEN PRAY YOU TO GO TO EVEN HELL . FUCKING DIE! AHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhh"

"Jas? I'm starving and I forgot my wallet too . So come and eat , I know you won't eat without your pretty brother . "

We ordered two plain butter toasts , a can of rasberry juice and a betty's special tea . It was one of the best teas i had ever drank , just so good .We sat in awkward silence . We'd been on high working phase so this was a meeting in quite some while . The irony hits when we say that we're biological siblings.

" So have you decided?? Like where are we going." Lucas asked munching on the toast.

" Well , we're leaving this shitty town for once in for all but let's see where we can head off to . It irritates me to core that their are so many damned options " I said clearly annoyed by how large the world is.

I took a sip of my tea , how it's freshness made me happy was wierd.

"Why don't we set off to mystic falls then , how about it ?? " Lucas chuckled at his idea but it triggered me ." Why doesn't anyone believe me , its real for fuck's sake "

For once in a while , I wanted a happy breakfast with my brother but he decides to ruin it within the first fifteen minutes . I hope I don't see his face this month or else I wont't hold back from puching him in his face .

I pay for the breakfast and hurried home back anguished.
