I flipped through the pages one after the other amazed by the images and writing I saw on it which I can't understand.
I don't know this type of language exist, I thought still flipping through the pages until I got to a map.
A page with map drawings?
Hmm who knows where it leads to? Maybe I could find out if I trace the map.
I really wanna know the reason for the sudden change in me?
I really have to know and I think the only way to know is to trace it.
I can't even read the words or understand the images so I'll trace the map.
That's my only option, I thought and held the book to my chest tightly.
"I don't think you can hear me book but if you can really hear me then thank you - I'm grateful for giving me an opportunity to experience the other side of life."
"For making me feel suddenly loved. I didn't get to hear awful words from Aunt Betty because of you so I'm grateful" I said to the book happily.
"Okay I'm gonna be keeping you back, I'll come back really early tomorrow from school so I'll trace the map alright?" I said as if talking to a human being then I kept the book under my bed shirt.
It might get dust on it if I keep it under my bed.
I didn't care before but now that I know its usefulness I'll keep it clean and save, I thought and smiled to myself.
And next I'll be attending to my assignment.
We were given physics and further maths assignment today, I'll do it now, I recalled and went to my bag.
I brought out the few gifts inside and starred at them.
Then I turned to the main bag filled with gifts and smiled again.
I was given candy, chocolates and sweet. I was given a lot of stuffs.
Even girlish mirror, one even gave me flip flop to wear.
I'm amazed and happy. I really want the care to continue, I don't want to start being alone at some point.
I wish to remain like this forever and that's one of the main reason I must trace the map.
I brought out assignments notes - physics and further maths.
I picked two candies alongside and sat down on the study desk in my room.
As I was about to start working on my physics first a knock on the window distracted me.
Huh! Who is knocking on my window? I thought and stood up.
I took slow steady steps and saw someone's head.
Then his eyes showed up.
"Jason?" I shrieked.
"What are you doing here?" I questioned.
"Just open the window for me, just wanted to say hi" he replied from the outside.
"My Aunt will soon be back Jason, please leave, we'll take in school tomorrow" I said and closed the window.
Huh! This is unbelievable.
Imagine sneaking up on my window?

Next day.
I went to stand facing the mirror as always.
As expected I became more beautiful today, its just increasing but I think its should stop here.
I'm afraid if I keep getting beautiful I won't be able to sleep because a lot of people will be on my neck.
I might die from trying to choose so I think it should stop here, I thought and patted my cheek then ran off to the bathroom to take my bath.
Fast forward.
I arrived in school accompanied by, Matthew, one of my classmates.
I was surprised to see him waiting in his car outside my guardian's house this morning and when I asked him he claimed he was waiting for me.
Like yesterday school went on but a little more hectic than the previous day.
I dropped my bag and changed into a new outfit.
I need to go now. I need to trace the map, I thought and took out the map then went outside and took the direction I took the day I ran into the book.
I kept on going surprised that I still remember the road perfectly well.
And then soon I got to that point. That point that I saw the book floating then I stopped.
I smiled and brought out the book and flipped to the page where the map is drawn.
Hmm there is a tiny light on the map which seems to be showing me direction which is deeper into the woods then I followed it.
"Hey Dana" I heard a familiar voice then looked up to see Jason.
"What are you doing here?" We both asked at the same time.
"Well, I just felt bored and decided to find wild games, you no my father loved hunting" he said with a proud smile on.
"Um..okay" I nodded my head with the map still opened even tho I don't no anything about his father.
"Then what are you doing here?" He questioned and I immediately looked down on the map.
He also looked down on the map and noticed the tiny light on it.
I immediately made to close the book but he was faster than me. He touched the book and shrieked.
"Geez, that tiny light just electrocuted me. I can't believe it" he yelled blowing air on his hand.
"How come? How did you do it?" He questioned still blowing air on his hand then suddenly his hand caught fire.
I shifted away from him and he also flinched and tried pulling his hand with his other hand.
"Why is my hand on fire? Someone help me???" He yelled and immediately I realized what caused that fire.
The book, he touched the book and it electrocuted him than that's it.
He kept on trying to pull his other hand off when I stopped him.
"I know what's happening to you Jason, you touched the book which you shouldn't have."
"I'm following the map on the book to see where its leads me" I said and explained everything that happened and how I got the book to him.
"Let's trace it together, I don't want to be a burning man, its scary" he said a little bit afraid and I nodded.
"Yea, let's find it" I added and we continued tracing the map.
The tiny light on it kept leading us until it stopped.
We haven't even gone that far but its stopped.
"Have we gotten to the place? Why did it stop? I can't find anything here" Jason complained turning severally.
Hmm
I touched the light to think but something happened.
Its like the tiny light entered my body and spread through the woods then the most shocking thing happened after that.
Everywhere changed.
Everywhere the light touched changed.
My mouth fell open as I saw a very gigantic building ahead.
This must be Paradise, I thought starring around in shock.
