Bound by Magic

Chapter 4

I knocked the front door of Lucas' house. It opened revealing Lucas behind it.

"Hey Ruby, what brings you here?"

"Oh um, I just wanted to see you. Is it okay if I come in?" I asked. He nodded moving aside for me to step in.

He closed the door behind me. When suddenly, I heard a woman's voice calling from upstairs. She called out for Lucas while walking down the stairs.

"Lucas! Would you come upstairs for a while, dear? I need you to-" the voice paused.

The woman was the lady from the painting I've seen yesterday. She was his mom. Amelia Lou Vrixon.

"Why hello there, dear. You must be Ruby Millers. Yes, Lucas told me about you." She pulled out a kind smile. Mrs. Vrixon was wearing a gorgeous laced green dress with black roses patterned onto it. Her dark raven hair was pulled to a bun. She was absolutely beautiful, looking totally like a supermodel.

"Good afternoon Mrs. Vrixon, it's so nice to see you. I hope I'm not bothering anything important because if you are, I could go." I apologized placing my hands behind my back.

"Oh please don't go, dear. It's delightful to have you here. You see, we don't get that many guests. Stay for as long as you like. Oh and Lucas dear, would you come upstairs for a while?" Mrs. Vrixon ordered. "Alright mom." He agreed following her.

The two of them went upstairs. This was just like the first day I came here. Left alone on the first floor. Perfect. Really perfect, no sarcasm noted.

This was my chance! I came all the way here to check out the mysterious door. And so I walked to the hallway where the jade door is at.

The door was slightly opened. Awesome! I can come in and find out what's in there. I really hoped Lucas and his mom won't find out.

I placed my hand on the knob. The knob looked like it was made of pure gold. I slowly pushed the door in and a really bright white light shined through blinding my eyes.

I opened my eyes one by one after being blinded. At first, my sight was a little blurry. When my vision adjusted, I looked around the place. The room was filled with shelves of books. I thought this must be the library.

Next to the door, I saw a wooden sign which spelled out Sorcery Room

Wait. What the fuck? (Sorry for the harsh language but I'll be using it quite often)

Sorcery. Sorrrceeerryyy. Sor-cer-ry. I repeated the word over and over again. It can't be! There are no such things as sorcery, magic, wizards, or a sorcerer.

I'm betting Lucas made that sign to make this room look cool. What a weirdo.

I walked around the room checking everything out. There were books, books, and just books everywhere. Really thick ones. This explains why Lucas is really good at math.

I grabbed one of the books. It was red, and it says Sorcery History edition: I

Lucas' got sorcery books in here? These books look really cool! I'm sure he got these from Disneyland or Harry Potter Land or something. I laughed to myself.

I grabbed another book. Spellbook for Young Sorcerers. Another one says History of Ephiezora. A big golden one caught my eye at the end of the shelf. It says Legends of the Great Paghastaron.

Woah. Where did Lucas get all these books? Why do they have stupid silly names? These look like wizardry books.

Lucas must be a wizard book collector or something. Or maybe he's a Harry Potter geek! Who knows he fan girls all day long like I do.
