His possession | Shawn Mendes

Part 37- OtherWorldly

The locket.
It's right here. In the book.

It's honestly such a simple locket. It has a small hole in the middle of it, shaped like a little wing.
The image on the book is blurry. But I could tell it's the exact same locket I had in my hand.

There is a small passage written underneath the picture but it's in a different language.
Ugh. Bilinguals are so lucky.
I feel so stupid.

I came so close to actually finding out what this locket is and then this shit happens.

"Need help?"
Oh no.
Edward.

"What is it with you? Do you live in the library? Whenever I'm here you just pop out of nowhere." I ask obviously irritated.
I get why Shawn doesn't like him.

"Jeez I was only offering to help you. I'll leave if you hate me that much."

I actually do need his help tho.
Fuck.

As he turns to leave I yell out after him.
"Stop. Ugh, I need to know what this nonsense means." I point at the book.

"The OtherWordly book? What are you doing with this?"
"The other what now?"
"OtherWordly. Give it to me."

I hand him the book.

"This says, and I quote, 'Those who search for the truth shall always find it in the heart of one's possession.'"

Oh for God's sake. What the actual fuck does that mean.
I was hoping for something more helpful. Something like.
Oh hey Skylar, the answer you are looking for is the following...

I mean is that so hard to ask for.

"What is this anyway? I've read this book before but I've never noticed this image. It's like it hasn't been in here before." He whispers. "Or maybe I'm just getting old."

"You're like 24 years old." I mock him.
"Oh honey. I may be older than your great grandfather." He smirks. "You still don't have the hang of things around here." He continues as he turns around to leave.

"Thank you. For translating what was written."
"No problem. I'll be sure not to annoy you when you're here anymore."
He starts walking out the door.
"And Skylar," he continues "I hope you find your answers." He gives me a smile and leaves.

Now that that's over. I have to figure out what the book meant.
Great. More riddles. As if I have time for that.

I hold the locket in my hand. Just staring at it.
I just hope I'm not some kind of monster. Like the queen said.
I'm scared.

A.N:

Do you think Skylar will figure everything out soon? Or will she just lose herself searching for answers?
