Charmed Again (Part 2/3)

Chapter 11

Chris and I had been looking through the books in the Magic School library for about three hours. It was mid day and I had a very bad headache coming along.

He checked one side of the library and I covered the other. I had gone through over one hundred books. And not just tiny books. I mean huge bible books. These books were three times bigger than the Book of Shadows and had three times the amount of information. By the time I stopped for a break, information was going in one ear and going out the other.

I slammed a book shut and dust swirled around me. I coughed as the thick cloud filled my lungs. After my suffocation I dropped my head on the desk, with the loudest thud possible.

"I think we should take a break." Chris said closing a book.

I rested my head on the cold, hard desk and wished my headache away. I felt someone's hand on my shoulder. I miserably dragged my head up to see who's it was. Unfortunately it was Chris.

"Why don't you go back to the manor. I can take care of all this." He said softly.

I stood there just staring at him. Was he actually being nice for once? Or was I imagining things because of my huge headache?

"Uh no it's fine. I mean I'll be fine. I don't want to leave all of this burden on you." I said holding my hand to head.

"You need a glass of water. Sit down and I'll get you some." He told me.

"Careful there Chris, it's almost like your starting to care for my well being." I told him.

He suddenly became awkward and coughed to make it seem like he was fine.

I get points for that one.

We both walked over to one of the tables and I sat down. I groaned as a pain shot across my head. Chris then began to walk away, to get my glass of water.

He returned with a glass of water in his hands and put it on the table for me. He gave me a glance but then went back to searching the books.

I poured the water down my throat so fast I almost choked and gurgled. I put the glass down and then put my head back on the desk. I closed my eyes and breathed slow and left my mind drift away.

--------------------------------------------

My eyes opened immediately. My headache seemed to be gone and my face was rested against my arm on the table. I lifted my head up and everything looked the same as it did a few moments ago.

Chris was looking through books but there were a few other kids in the library too. Chris looked over his shoulder and smiled when he saw me.

"Oh good you're awake." He grinned.

I slowly got up off of the table, gently pushing my weight up.

"When was I not awake?" I asked walking over to him.

"You fell asleep. You've been sleeping for about an hour." He explained to me.

My jaw dropped.

"Are you serious? Because its not a really funny joke." I told him, raised eyebrows.

"No I'm serious. You can see the pool of drool on the table and on your mouth." He pointed and began laughing.

I quickly wiped around my mouth and a little drool was on the edges.

"Shut up its not funny. I feel bad enough as it is." I said in a low voice walking around him.

I began to open up a book that I hadn't looked in.

"Why do you feel bad?" He asked.

"I left you to look on your own. And then I fell asleep. I'm very helpful I must say." I told him flicking through the pages.

"It's fine. Anyway I had help. I brought in backup." Chris said and gestured to other kids in library.

When I turned around to look them they smiled at me. One of them was really skinny, freckly and had braces. The other had glasses and a huge monobrow. I turned back to Chris with a shocked look on my face.

"Okay they weren't exactly my first choice but they're apparently really smart. Although it took them some persuading to ditch their classes." He smirked.

Oh god.

"How did you persuade them exactly?" I asked with a worried look to my eye.

His smirk grew wider as my imagination spun out of control.

"I gave them a pair of your underwear." He grinned.

"What?!" I screamed in his face.

I slapped him hard across the arm. He began laughing hysterically. As he kept on laughing I began hitting him with books. I hit him all the way to the table.

"Okay! Okay! I was joking! I didn't give them your underwear!" He laughed as I slammed him with a hard back book.

I stopped. He was leaning on the table as a huge book was hovering above his body.

"That's so not funny!" I shouted.

I began hitting him with the book again. After a few good wacks I dropped the book on the floor.

"I'm sorry, the opportunity was there. I give them a few bucks and some old lady friends' numbers." Chris said with a few laughs escaping.

I glared at him and then went back to searching through books. He walked over to me and stood close to my face.

"Look I am sorry. Just trying to lighten up my mood. I hate doing research. Especially when the person I'm doing it with falls asleep." He gently laughed.

"Well I'm sorry I didn't mean to fall asleep. Besides if your brother didn't keep the fact that he's the fricking reincarnation of King Arthur from me, you wouldn't have to do it." I told him with an irritated tone.

I sighed, not wanting to be mad at Wyatt. He was now sort of my best friend and I didn't want to be pissed at my best friend. But I think I had a valid reason to be mad for a while. Unless its my over reacting, stubborn pride that's keeping me from letting the whole thing slide.

"Anna, I know the both of us don't get along very well but I don't like seeing you-"

"Hey! Chris! I think I found something!" One of the other kids shouted, cutting him off.

We both looked in the kids direction and he had a huge book resting in his arms. It was the kid with the braces and he was smiling like he had won a prize.

Chris and I both walked over to him. We both stood either side of the kid and looked at the page.

I looked at the page thoroughly. The picture of the man on the page looked exactly like the dark figure that attacked me in P3.

"That's him." I said. "That's the guy who attacked me."
