“How about wrinkles?” Nan scrunched up her face and created too many wrinkles to count.

“Well, now that you mention it, I think you should enroll for the senior citizen discount, I'm sure you could pass.” Mina replied sarcastically.

“I knew it!” Nan gasped, pushing her favorite cupcake away from her and pulling out some age-defying lotion from her purse. She began to lather her skin with a vengeance.

Mina started laughing but gasped out loud from pain. Intense heat was coming from her midsection, from the Grimoire. The Grimoire was warm, and began to pulse again with life. The hair on the back of Mina's neck began to move and her body began to tingle. Mina frantically looked around the room in preparation for an attack. She even stood up and put her back to the wall, ready to defend Nan.

Nan's phone beeped. She pulled it out and let out a slow whistle of appreciation. “Well look at that! Seems we have a new student, and he's a hot one. Want to see his picture?” Nan held the phone so Mina could look but she didn't. She could feel power building behind her.

Mina turned in dread and stopped, her heart beating loudly in her ears. He was right there, standing mere feet from her.

Jared.
