2 Upon arriving at Jeff's house, he offered me a coffee and began preparing a small dinner. I needed to be alone, I tapped my foot "tap, tap, tap", I was feeling quite anxious. I was hoping that some sort of guest room existed in the house. The house was an older home, it was puke green in color and falling apart, but it was large. Jeff offered me a sandwich, I politely declined stating instead "A hot shower would be nice". Jeff led me to a small bathroom, it smelled of old people and cheese popcorn. The bathroom was attached to a spare room, empty aside from a bed and a lamp, it was just what I needed. I thanked Jeff and he went about his evening. Locking the door, I removed the parcel from my jacket and placed it on the bed, it immediately slammed itself with incredible force into the wall. Panicked, I locked the door and started the shower. I placed myself in the corner far away from the the book as it was now quite clear to me that the paranoia it was causing me was justified. I hadn't opened the book yet, it had symbols on the front that I was not familiar with, they glowed the brightest of orange. This glow is what had given me the urge to pick the package up in the first place. If Steven hadn't attacked me two days prior, I wouldn't be in this mess. I knew that Steven was bad news. I decided to go to the lake with him anyways. When he attacked me I ran, after I was sure he was no longer following, I rested briefly against a fallen tree, that is when I saw the book. It was dark out and at first I thought it must be an animal. It was moving and making a low guttural sound. I took out a small knife from my purse and approached, the glow drew me in and I picked the package up.
