-Start of Chapter 49-

The blood soaks in and vanishes, leaving the thick white paper unblemished.

No stain, no trace—it's as if the blood was never there.

Suddenly, all I see is smoke...

Thick white smoke, swirling and consuming everything in its path.

I hear a thud, and I assume, Taehyun has dropped the book.

I gasp quietly, my heart pounding in my chest as the smoke spreads, filling the room as I feel myself move back. I stumble, over something and fall on the floor.

What the actual fuck is happening?...

I feel Taehyun take a step closer, "Y/N-ah! Are you okay?!" his concerned tone puts me off guard.

"Y-Yeah I'm okay..." I slowly feel around.

Table.

Supporting one hand on the table, I pull myself up. 

"What's going on?!" I hear Jay's worried call. 

I turn around to look at him but all I see is white...

I manage to reply back "I-I don't know!" 

We stay there in silence for some more time. No one dares to move or dares to say anything.

Then slowly slowly, I can make out a figure not too far away from me.

Then slowly the table beside me. And soon after, I can work out the entire library.

The others also slowly getting their vision back as the smoke clears start to move towards the book on the floor.

We three slowly gather around, peering down at the book on the floor. No one dares to pick it up. The remnants of the smoke make it difficult to fully make out the book. As the smoke clears, they see... not just the white pages, but intricate black marks.

As the smoke finally dissipates, the marks become clearer. 

It's writing.

Taehyun and I both whisper in unison, "Mum's handwriting..."

Suddenly, Jay claps his hands, his eyes lighting up with understanding. "Oh! I've got it!!" he exclaims. "It's a Blood Seal!"

"A Blood Seal?" I ask with a frown.

Jay nods as he picks up the book examining the page, "Yep. Its a very rare and secure way of sealing or hiding stuff."

Taehyun, understanding, continues for Jay. "If someone performs a Blood Seal, only the person who did it and their blood relatives—so their parents and children—can unlock it. It's an ancient and very powerful form of magic."

Jay flicks through the book. "If this is the only book with a Blood Seal... it must be important. It might contain..."

I gasp, cutting him off. "The cure!""

Nodding, Jay says, "However, not all the pages are revealed. Only these two... We need more blood..." He looks up at us, "Your blood."
