Chapter: 3 ; A Mysterious Book

Bricilla ~

I saw the way Mia looking and smiling at the boys walking away. Though I'm not a social bird,🐦 a person who tends to contain myself from others 🤐 but I felt strangely close👭 with this young lady. We were casually talking about the three men and that is when I saw it. Something in this aesthetic seashore in an unknown island. A book that is floating in the sea waves🌊. But that's not the point. That's the same book I was reading yesterday in the library🏣.

I felt both strange and curious 👀 at the same time about the things happening in my life continuously. Leaving Mia aside I went to take the book coming towards me floating in the seashore, glowing unusually.✨While lifting the book from the salty water🌊 I could feel my eyballs popping out of my eyelids👁️ on seeing that shinning rusty book in my hands.

I displayed it to Mia who threw a doubtful glance at me.🧐 Is this for real?🤥 Am I the only one who is witnessing this? 😱Or Is she thinking I'm fooling around?🙄I mean, do I really in the situation of cracking jokes or what?😐 !!! I thought to myself and once again got reminded of yesterday as the book was shinning back in library too. Taking the book I returned to the shore found myself comfortably sitting 📖on the wet sand filled with strangeness while the mild waves crashing smoothly on my feet and cleaning the minute sands away.

I checked upon the girl who is looking so confused🙄and got fed up with me,😑 thinking i am a prater and said

"Before I loose my mind I-I ...better go with them" and she left. Opening the book I got remembered of those lines I read back in library,

"An Isolated Island Phoa is what written on the entrance....."

Scene 2

*We could see that other than Bricilla Mia does not find the book out of ordinary. Is that mean, Bricilla has some connection with this strange old book?. Lets look into it.

Bricilla is now sitting alone in the seashore🏖️ with the soothing music🎶 of sea waves🌊 playing at the background and allowed herself to take over by the charms produced by the book. She continues to read the book where she left...*

"The portrait 🖼️of a family looks like a king🤴 queen👸 and princess.👰 While looking around the mysterious palace 🏰 we

encountered many antiques scattered around the corner of the staircase grubby as if someone left it without care for a long time.

Suddenly an anonymous ❓ voice of sobbing echoed throughout the empty palace. Eyes explored every nook and corner of the palace still no sign of a human being, that sudden sobs paved way to the weird thoughts 💭 of haunting stories in this desolated palace. The sobbing stops. The next minute voice came over shouting hoarsely,

? - "***It is all because of me. If I didn't go there that day it wouldn't have happened**".

The voice shouted and cried in agony.
