The Power of the Expiration Date [Completed]

Chapter 12

ISA POINT OF VIEW
I'm in the living room waiting for Ethan to finish dinner. This so call "Ministry book" is killing me. I would do anything to read one of my adventure/romance books or just any interesting book I don't care. I've been reading this for a day and found it completely boring and nothing in here to help us take down the Ministry, but that doesn't mean there's none. I just got to keep looking.

"Hey, you okay you look awful." He teased. He sat down next to me. I know he was joking even though it's I look and feel awful, but that didn't stop me from me commenting him. "Go watch the food. I don't want the house to burn and die from it." Usually I'll feel bad, but I just continue looking through a book with the tiniest hand writing.

Ethan comes over and takes the book out of my hand and walks to the kitchen hanging the book really low to the boiling water. "Ethan, what..." He doesn't move the book any closer to the water, but he didn't put it out of death reach either. "You need a break from this book."

I couldn't help it I chuckle he remains dead serious and I continue to laugh even more. "You wouldn't drop the book not if it's our only chance to destroy the Ministry." He puts it lower until it's only half a foot away from the water. "Test me all I ask is you take a break not forever, but the rest of the night. There are other ways we can do to destroy the Ministry. I don't want to deal with your bad attitude because of some stupid book." He argued really well because I sort of agree..."how do you know I was in a bad mood because of the book and not you?" I teased, but tried really hard to sound serious. Now that that book is out of my hands I feel better. My old self again. Is that book cursed?

"Sweetheart, I'll know if you were mad at me because of me." He steps away from the boiling water to stand directly in front of me.

"Just for the rest of the day, then you can kill yourself tomorrow, but for the record I wouldn't be watching that when that happens." He gives me the book, walks to the cabinet, grabs noodles, and pours them into the boiling water. I feel amazing. I needed this break.

"Good, because I wouldn't want book for dinner." I teased him. He shot right back "everything tastes good when I make it." We couldn't help, but laugh at each other.

He right I'm being ridiculous over a stupid book. I bet it will get better the further I get into the book!
.....
It got worse!

It's been a week since our last mission. Our next one is coming up in a month so I'm postponing training for a little bit to read this small book with the smallest print in the entire town! Ethan on the other hand is training by himself I don't know something about "I need to become stronger..." Yeah yeah. I do too, yet here I am because I want answers and so far I've found none. It's been a week and if there was anything interesting I would be finished with it already.

I look up to my ceiling just staring at the whiteness of it. There has to be a way to take down the Ministry, but how?

Ethan told me our next mission was at a abandon hotel no doubt Mark gave him this assignment, but every time I doubt Mark Ethan gets all mad and brushes it off. Usually I would say if your feeling sudden anger it would be because of your powers fire power worse of them all. You can be okay, but completely angry the next. I feel bad for people who have fire powers, but he had them long enough to master them so...

I think I have completely lost it when I start arguing with myself any time I can...
Ethan doesn't know it, but Mark is holding something from him I just...

Stop thinking about him! He moved on with Mark so can you.

No, I can't this Mark dude is trippy.
