"I'm just restocking now. I shouldn't be long if you'd like to man the front."

Emma nodded slowly in understanding, even though she was a little daunted at the fact she was (Basically) in charge at the front while Charlotte restocked books. " Sure I can do that. And Im very well Thankyou. The electric company sorted out my power, I have no idea how the guy managed to get it on. The switch was in the most awkward place. There's a pathway leading into the forest from my backyard. So that might be a good walk in the morning or an evening"

She smiled and walked into the store taking a seat at the desk, now she was able to see the symbols on the desk properly now,the sunlight streaming on them made them almost shimmer and glow. She also notice the book she was looking at earlier, lifting it up she was surprised at how heavy it was. The book looked only small but it was like holding a brick.

She turned the pages slowly pausing when she found the matching symbols of the desk in the book. Some meant prosperity and wealth when others meant protection and safety. She continued to turn the pages becoming very intrigued at the symbols, why were they here. Was it because of a famous author that used these symbols? And the town just celebrated that? She would have to read more into this or in fact ask Charlotte.

As she turned another page she noticed it felt a little heavy than the others, infact when she turned the page it sliced her fingers a little enough for blood to bubble to the surface and run down her finger and hand. Oh...not blood anything but blood...Emma's eyes fluttered a little and she keeled over to the side, falling off the chair and landing on the floor.
