❝He was still eyeing me out from that corner of the room, like I was prey in a dragon's den.❞

______________________________

I sat in the far corner stall of the girl's restroom. I closed the lid so i could sit on top of it as i just thought of the things that i saw in the crystal ball.

A unicorn in the woods, probably the one from my vivarium. A party.. It looked like a Halloween party. Kissing lips in the dark.. A familiar house is my house in Lleida. A Sage blue door, one i hadn't seen before. Candlelight on an unfamiliar table. Cliff in the high mountains. A strange hospital. A young girl with blonde hair.. Could that be me? A shadow of a tall man, but who was it? And the letter from Sebastian that i hadn't read.

My heartbeats went faster and harder as i tried to breathe in and out. The walls of the bathroom stall came closer to me as they drew me to the far wall behind me. I kept my hands in front of me to stop the wall from moving closer to me. But to no avail, i was getting locked and stuck in the stall. My body tried to scream, but i couldn't make any sound, and i closed my arms around my legs as i sat on the lid with my knees raised. My head was between my legs as i tried to remain calm and not let this anxiety take over. Every time i looked up, the walls kept coming and gliding towards me. I closed my eyes and thought of a happy moment.

And a loud knock was heard on the door of the bathroom stall.

As i opened my eyes, the walls were normal, and my hands were wet and sweaty, i had been crying. Another knock on the door ''Are you alright in there, miss?'' a young female voice asked.

I didn't respond at all, i couldn't speak. Nobody could see me like this.

''Do i need to get a professor?'' the girl asked.

''No!'' i quickly said. ''No, it's alright, thank you'' i murmured while i dried my tears.

The girl pushed the door a bit open, and her mouth fell open in amazement. ''It's you.. Angella Delgado, i'm such a big fan of yours!'' My mouth lifted a bit as i kindly smiled at the young girl; she looked like she was 12 years old. She handed me some paper to wipe my tears and sat on the ground in the stall with me. ''i'll stay with you, just to keep you company. i won't tell a soul that you've been crying in here. It will be our secret, Miss Delgado'' And she opened her book on magical beast to read.

I was sitting in the library with my head looking down at my book. The book had a special charm, so nobody could know what it was about.

It's not that i liked to keep it a secret, but not everybody needed to know that i read about twisted romance and dark fantasy men. A secret only for me, myself and i.. Since i liked to read those books a lot, Every book was different and exciting in its own special way.

I was now reading about a dark haired man who stalked a girl in her big house. He loved her, but she feared him. What a complicated thriller story, i loved it.

I turned the pages very fast as i was skimming through the book to the chapter i ended with the other day, Chapter 14, page 182.

In the far corner to my left sat the familiar blonde haired man with a deep black book in his hands. He sat on the desk with his feet on the chair beneath him.

As i looked at him, i was wondering what his book was about, since the title of the book was gone. He, too, had cast a charm on it, so nobody could see what he was reading.

And i didn't know why, but seeing him sit like that did something to me-to my body. I tried to ignore the feeling, but i just kept looking to feel this intense sensation flowing inside me. His head looked up right at me as he met my stare.

What am i doing?? i quickly moved my head down to read further inside my book.

I lifted my head again and saw his eyes staring at me. My brows narrowed, and i tried to look angry, but i just couldn't. Those sapphire blue eyes glistered in the sunlight as he watched me. And then he did something i didn't see before.

He grinned from ear to ear and blew a hand kiss toward me.

My cheeks instantly blushed as i shyly smiled into my lap to read my book. As i continued reading to chapters 15 and 16, the book was snatched out of my hands.

I hurriedly stood up to meet his tall body in front of me as he smiled, ''What are you reading, princess?'' I smiled back as i tried to grab the book from his hands. ''Nothing you need to know!''

He stepped back as he held the book above my head, so i couldn't reach it. This man was flirting with me, and i couldn't shake the feeling that i liked it a bit too much. I chuckled and giggled as i tried to take it from him as he was moving our bodies to a corner of the library. His back collided with the bookcase behind him as he waved the book for me to grab it.

I tried to step on my toes, but he was too tall. As i leaned into his body to take it from him, he just wickedly smiled as he enjoyed my little tantrum. Even when i jumped, i couldn't reach it. ''Alright, YOU win!'' i laughed as i crossed my arms.

He took his wand from his pocket and waved it in the air, ''Revelio'' he said with his deep, dark voice. The charm of the book was lifted, and i looked up to see the title of my book.

''I see, a dark romance book? I didn't know you were into that stuff..''

and he looked at the back to read the text on it and looked at me as his eyes darkened.

''There are many things you don't know about me Gaunt, i might surprise you.'' I smiled wickedly as i grabbed the book from his hand and stuffed it into my bag.

He chuckled as he straightened his tie, ''Really? Then tell me something i don't know, and i might surprise you with what i do know.''

I smiled. ''I'm not playing this game with you..''

He leaned forward as he was bending over my body. ''Come on, Princess, come play with me.''

His fingers reached for mine to bring me closer to him. I leaned forward to as i whispered, ''You want to know my secret, Marvolo Gaunt?'' He smiled at my lips as he parted them a little and hummed in acceptance.

I breathed inside his mouth, and i felt his warm breath flowing through mine.

And when we almost touched for that kiss i stepped back and smiled once more. ''I'm not into high school boys'', and i turned around and walked away laughing as i heard him sigh and swear to himself.
