They took the book and 'themselves' to a little quiet reading corner and pretended it was the library’s book. They tried to hide it from everyone as much as they possibly could to make it all look like they were just doing normal research out of an ordinary book. Which was kind of hard, as it didn’t look ordinary at all.

It was quiet odd as no one mentioned a word or even noticed them. Then the rest of Shana’s friends ‘tagged’ along and the one that mentioned ‘Witchcraft!’ to Damascus saw Damascus took her conversation into consideration even though she was flirting around for the sake of some fun!

As they browsed through the fascinating gothic scriptures of the authentic words hidden in the book. Shana said, ‘I wonder if you could call upon, God or the Devil or something like that, maybe the, Prince of Darkness. What would he be like? Maybe he could fulfil our deepest and darkest desires.’ ‘Our or maybe, my quest for lust, or love?’ One of their other friends mentioned, later on, ‘this library is full of these unusual and fascinating things. I mean just take a look at those sculptures. They look like very unusual, Gargoyles.’ They all decided it was becoming late and time for them to leave. However, just before they were about to leave, they decided to take a deeper look at the book and get a glimpse of this weird page? It mentioned, ‘the following are a witches time markings.’ Then it had all of these weird symbols that symbolised areas or locations of time that we had never even heard about when we were taught about the real documented ‘Witch’ trials or the ‘Medieval days, in school or even primary school or our early secondary years. The symbols represented logical sequences and were labelled, ‘Aphrodisiac,’ ‘Execution,’ ‘Silenced,’ ‘Gateway,’ ‘Territories Unknown,’ ‘Mark of the Wolf,’ ‘Mark of the Canine,’ ‘Territories Forbidden,’ ‘Territories Unmarked,’ ‘Territories Lost’ and ‘Territories Inhabited.’ Then it had a section which talked about, ‘Forbidden Times,’ stating that there are places where one would feel lost and unsettled during unnatural times of the day.
