CHAPTER 16✏

🍥Kayla’s POV🍥
.
“A library?” Melvin asked after we arrived. I nodded with a grin.
“Come-on” I led him in.
“Hey, it’s been a while?” The library keeper said to me and I nodded at her.
“I know, right. Been busy” I smiled as I filled my details, I helped Melvin fill his and we went to the shelves to grab a book. As I searched for one to read, Melvin took one of them, flipped through the pages and drop it back in the shelf, he repeated it for another. I gave him a look.
“I can’t read any of these, it looks pretty long and tiring” he complained.
“Um..okay, there’s one that you don’t have to read and wouldn’t be tiring for you!” I said, picking two books from the shelf, I led him to the kids section. I took one of the books..
“It’s a picture storybook, here!” He took it from me.
We found empty seats beside each other’s and I dropped the books on the table, I adjusted my glasses before opening one to read.
I smiled as I began reading; I can’t seem to remember the last time I read like this, it’s been like a second part of me had been flushed out but being here, staying like this, I feel it coming back .. New and latest editions from my favorite writers had been stocked in too.
It must’ve been sent to my phone but since I haven’t been on it lately, I didn’t know.
Melvin called my attention just when I was about flipping to the fifth page and I gave him a look. He showed me a picture from the book, the picture of a cat..
“It looks like the stray cat I feasted on last,” he said with a frown “I think it’s haunting me!” He pouts and I laughed.
“Really, you’re scared?” I asked and he nodded. “Can we leave, now?”
“No.. We just got in and I’ve barely even touched a book. Just ignore this, it’s a picture and can’t haunt you,” I flipped through the page for him. “Check out something else!” I said, pointing to the king kong that appeared on the book.
“This looks like you in the night!” I said with a grin.
“You think so?” He raised his brow.
“Yeah, you don’t?”
“I would’ve if he wasn’t so ugly” he said.
“Well, I think you both totally look alike” I said.
“Totally? So you’re saying I look horrible?” He asked, giving me a frown.
“In the night? Yes” I answered, he looked back at the picture and gave me a look like he was going to protest but he shook his head instead.
“You’re wrong and that’s it!” He finalised, flipping through the page rather aggressively, I laughed and turned to my book.

After the library, I walked Melvin back to the woods, we both had dinner in his cave and when I went home, mom called to remind me that she’ll be returning home tomorrow and I couldn’t be more happy as I went to bed; I’ve missed her.
The next morning, I left the house for school and as I walked down the hall to my where my locker was located, Jake appeared in front of me..
I stopped walking.
“Hi” he greeted with a smile.
“Hi Jake,” I said before continuing my journey but he kept on walking with me. I got to my locker and stopped.
“How have you been?” He asked and I gave him a blank stare, wondering why he’s suddenly asking me that.
“I’ve been good, thanks” I said and he nodded.
“Well uh.. I’ve been wanting to ask you something lately and don’t think it’s absurd, just answer me, okay?” He said and I turned from my locker to study him..
“O-okay” I nodded, giving him a curious look.
“How long have you known Melvin and how well do you know him?” He asked and I gave him a bizarre look.
“Look Jake if this is about-
“Please Kay!” He stopped me abruptly. “Just answer the question” he said.
“Uh..well I’ve known him long enough and about how well? We’re just friends and I think I know everything I should know about him as friends” I answered, still leaving my confused look on him. “Why are you asking me this?”
“You think?” He questioned, ignoring my earlier question.
“Jake, why are you asking me this?”
“Just answer me first, Kay.. You think you know him well enough or you do?” He repeated.
“Well I asked you first so you should answer me! I don’t get why you’re suddenly interrogating me about him so tell me, Why are you asking me this?” I asked.
“Because Melvin isn’t human!” He said, whispering with a sort of grumpiness.
My brows curved immediately in surprise.
“What?” I asked, speechless and gobsmacked.
“You heard it, he isn’t human!” He repeated “And he’s possessing you into following him around”
Huh?
