Merchant Of Death

powers

" oh no"
In twenty days I'll be his slave.but it's meant to burn when it fades right? I asked myself one more time. Just then I remembered my orbs what does the book say about my orbs... quickly I run back to where I kept the book, but Derek already had it in his hands.

" What does the book say about my orbs" I ask him but he does not answer me so I walk to him and try to snatch the book from his hand but he does not budge. His eyes fixed on something, so I look into the book to check what he is reading,and it read;

  Merchant of death..
The merchant,the carrier
The marked is his...

The pages were torn, where is the rest of the book?. I raise my head to look at Derek but his head is still bowed in the position of reading, like he is frozen. Is he?
" Derek?" I poke him on his forearm but he did not budge.now this is beginning to freak me out.

" Derek?" This time I shake him, that's when he coughs, Shakes his head and fling the book on the floor. Confused, I walk to where he threw the book, pick it up and drop it back on the desk.
Turning to look at him ,he looked so pale, his hands shaking and eyes shinning with Raw fear.he turns to face me but seeing that I was trying to read him he quickly masks his fear taking his cue, leaving the room for me slamming the door.

Okay that was excruciating to watch, I mean seeing Derek scared was the last thing I wanted to see. But what would make him scared.
What was he reading?
I pick up the book to look for what he had read, but decided against it, I've had enough  revelations for today.

So I closed the book and left it on the desk. ' ouch' something sharp hit my hand when closing the book, so I searched for it and found a Bobby pin, i needed something to fix my hair in place , so I tried removing it from where it was laying down, but it looked like it was attached to something it looked like a paper but also a hard scroll, like a letter to someone. It read;

To E;

But there is no one bearing 'E'  here, not that I know anyone whose name starts with an 'E' maybe Derek wrote it to his girlfriend. Just thinking about it caused a sharp thug in my chest. I doubt if he'll ever have a girl, I mean he's so rude. I scoff and hold the paper tight in my hand, the burning sensation to read it and know what's in it...but the other part of the sensation doesn't want to pry in what is not her concern.

After two minutes of conflict I decide against it and leave it. So I walk to the door opening it and exit the room.
My mind racing on what is on the letter.

From zona: I know y'all want to know what Derek's always thinking especially what happened in the room just now. If you want a pov from Derek please let me know in the comment section 🙂sorry for interrupting 😁.

Getting back to the room was easy because I did not see or encounter anyone which I'm thankful for and to top it all Kora was not in the room so I quickly did what I had to do fast and settle on the bed in the cute let me be your puppy nightwear Kora got me.

So I put on my glasses and reached for the paper I kept on the nightstand.;

To E;

Like they say, curiosity kills the cat but I ain't gonna die, just cause of a harmless letter I scoff, this is me just feeding my curiosity.

  To E;
Just like the sun shines, your smile lighs up my world.
Just like the beautiful stars light up the night, you being in my life lights the darkness in me.
I'm really sorry for what happened and I did what I did for your safety...g..

  What's with them and tearing their books or papers.i remove my glass and drop it on the stand alongside the paper.i sigh and rest my head on the headboard.
All my life I have people hating me for my mom's mistake,I don't even know who my father is..

Mama never spoke about them, I remember asking about if the parents I thought were my parents were really mine, but she was always saying that they are my real parents.and when I asked why they don't love me she says it'll take time.

I always thought why would it take time for my own parents to love a their own child, a child they bore? But coming here has answered a lot of my questions.

My past and my present has taught me a lot in life.having no one makes a lot of things easier, but having people depend on you only makes the burden a lot heavier.

Suddenly everything came back..the book, it spoke about powers, but of what? I should have brought the book but most of the pages where torn out ,but there had to be another book that has the complete pages right, a book that cannot be torn, a book that can't be destroyed.

But where can I find a book like that,the better question is where can they keep such a book. My eyes feel heavy and my breathing slows down.

I was already feeling sleepy, all this merchant,death ,and warrior  shii got me tired. So I turn off the lamp on my night stand clean my eyes and pull the blanket over me, letting the sweet darkness overwhelm me. Taking me far far away......
