The order (R.C Fanfic) Book 1

ch. 26

" Why are you doing this? You know what that book is." I tell him.

"It's the opportunity of a lifetime." He tells me ask he reads it.

"You're trading your humanity for what? Unlimited magic?" I ask him.

"I know. It's a hell of a bargain." He tells me looking to me with a wink.

"It's a deal with the devil." I say back.

"Oh, stop being so melodramatic. Magic isn't good or evil, it just is." He says looking back at the book as i continue to try to break free." The world needs a reboot. Who better to push that button than me?"

"You monumental narcissistic asshole!" I yell at him wth a growl.

He sits me in a room in a chair and  used a Acedia incantation on me. Alyssa walked in.

"You and your fucking daddy issue's" I tell her.

"What are you doing here?" She asks me.

"Edward has the book." I tell her.

"The Vade Maecum, I know."

"Let me finish. He has the whole book." I finish telling her.

"We have to get you out of here." She tells me.

"He used an Acedia incantation on me. I can't reverse it." I tell her.

"I can. Come on. Ipsa liberetur." She says reversing it.

"Okay. Do you know where the book is?" She asks me.

"He's been carrying it around like it's his baby." I tell her. She grabs me and sits me back down.

"Are you out of your mind?" I ask her.

"You're not leaving without the Vade Maecum. Now, when Edward arrives, wait for my signal. Make a break for it. I'll grab the book." Alyssa tells me.

"This is a terrible plan." I tell her.

" Do you have a better idea?"

"Several." I tell her.

"Shh." She tells me.

"Alyssa." Edward says coming back in.

"I was starting to worry." He tells her.

"It's harder to hide a body than I thought." She tells him.

"I know. Is there blood on the blade?" He asks her.

"Like you asked." She says giving him the blade.

"Excellent. Did Vera struggle?" He asks her after smelling the blood.

"She did." Alyssa tells him.

"Did you?" He asks her.

"Why do you think it took so long?" She tells him and looks to me. I sigh and shift while I get up and tackle him to the ground s I snarl in his face as Alyssa grabs the book and leaves. He gets the upper hand and goes after Alyssa.
