"So were looking for someone with abnormal behavior?" asked Theo.

"Yea, if someone might be acting a little off." he replied.

"Everyones a little off in highschool." Theo said sarcastically.

"Good point." I said, following Scott to the stairs.

"Just remember that Tracy went on a killing spree after reading that book." Theo said following us down.

"So do you think we should read it?" Scott asked.

"Ill read it with you guys." He said.

Later that night we all met up at Scotts house to read the book. The books were all spread out on the dining table.

"Usually my moms book club has more wine." Lydia said.

"Usually books dont provoke violent hallucenations." said Stiles.

"Thats why we have Malia here." said Scott, looking in Malias direction.

"Yea to make sure nobody runs into traffic."

"Or worse....Like Judy in chapter 14." said Malia, looking down at the books.

"I hope this works." said Stiles, reaching for a book.

"It has to.....I think they were at my surgery," said Lydia," whenever I look at the cover I see them......its like...."

"Memories trying to resurface." finished Theo.

has he seen them?

"Isnt that what Valack wanted when he wrote it?" asked Kira.

"Yea, and if they did something to me, I want to find out what it was." said Lydia, getting a book and walking to the couch.

We each grabbed a book and sat down. About thirty minutes in I started to realize how tired I was. I flipped the page, one more left until chapter 14. I noticed flashing on my paper, like someone was turning a light switch on and off. When I looked up to the lamp next to me, it didnt flicker at all. I blinked a couple times, sure I was sleep deprived, and went back to reading.

Then it happened again, I stared down at my page , light flicking on and off make the page dissapear into darkness then return to normal. I started to hear something now, almost like footsteps, heavy ones. I tried to concentrate on them more along with the flickering lights, but my thoughts were suddenly interrupted.

"Anyone feel anything yet."

Scotts voice snapped me out of my trace, and I looked up, my eyes adjusting to the normal light. Theo was staring at me as if he knew about what just happened.

"Tired." said Kira.

"Hungry." said Lydia.

"I think he meant the book." said Theo, still looking at me.

Scott followed Theos gaze in my direction. I looked at him,

"Nothing."

We went back to reading, and me still recieving curious glances from Theo. Ten minutes in Kira looked like she was going to pass out into sleep. She put her head down on the blanket and closed her eyes. Scott asked her what she was doing, and she said she was just resting her eyes and turned off the light. Pretty soon we all joined her. I was the last to turn off my lamp and laid my head on the armrest, letting sleep take over.

I dont know how long we were asleep for, but Malia had come and fallen asleep on a couch next to the window. My phone vibrating woke me up. Liam was calling me. Luckily, I had my ringer turned off. I got up and went to the front door. I turned around to make sure I didnt wake anybody up. Kira had went upstairs to Scotts room and I saw Stiles already passed out in my chair.

I went outside and finally answered him.

"What Liam." I said sleeply.

"Well....did the books do anything?" He asked, a little impacient.

I ignored his tone.

"I dont know Liam, everyone fell asleep." I said stifiling a yawn.

"Well did everyone finish?"

Suddenly I heard footsteps coming from inside, just like the ones I had heard earlier.

"I gotta go." I said , hanging up.

I put my phone in my pocket and walked a couple steps up to the door. I put my ear up to the door and listened. I could start to hear more, the same weird noises I had heard at Cinema. I slowly opened the door, and I took a step inside . I was in a large cement room filled with machines and fluid tubes reaching the ceiling. The lighting gave the room a greenish-yellow tint. I heard the footsteps come closer to me and I turned to run, but I felt as if I was glued to the floor.

I turned back to where I was originally, my feet still unmoving, thats when I saw them. The three figures pictured on the book. They came out from behind a fluid tube and walked toward what seemed like an operating chair. I looked more closely, trying to put all my focus on it and saw who was strapped to the chair.

It was me.
