"Curious to learn more about me, wifey? Just ask—I'm an open book, especially for you," Hadeon grinned cheekily. He was about to pass the book of memories to her, when he mindlessly flipped the pages and stopped with the smile on his lips lowering.

"Don't even think about it," came the blunt interruption from Hadeon, and when her eyes met his, he said, "The witches have to get inside the book to write it. And let me tell you that when these books are burned, the witches die with them if they are in there."

"Well, in a personal diary, a person writes and reads. In the book of memories, you see things the person wants," Hadeon explained to her. "But not all witches have the ability to capture their memories and it is only creatures of higher class. The ones who can, are the ones who have lived for centuries."

"Figures," Hadeon remarked, and he then said, "This is a book of memories."

She went through Sable's belongings, before her hands fell on a book. It was a book that was hidden underneath a stack of other books. Her eyebrows furrowed, and just when she open the book, she felt a zap of current pass, that her softly yelp and drop the book from her hand.

"Looks like your grandmother hid the eggs in the fox's forest, knowing the fox would never look into its own forest," Hadeon drawled with a thoughtful expression. "It was the safest place even if someone tried to intrude, it would be guarded. Until you would come to take what she left for you," his golden eyes looked around the place, scanning.

"Back in your best friend's house? Yes, you are correct," Hadeon remarked in a nonchalant tone.

"Ouch!" Mallory murmured, upon being dropped on the hard floor. Right behind her, Hadeon appeared without ungracefully falling like her. When she stood up, her eyebrows furrowed and she asked in doubt, "Are we back…"

Mallory quickly jumped from her seat and appeared in front of the painting. She repeated the word, "Sunflower," loud and clear, while Hadeon had slipped right behind her, not wanting her sucked in alone.

"Had I been a witch, the nicknames would range from porcupine and prickly pear," Hadeon remarked with humour. "Let us see if it works."

"You bring joy to me, Mal. I will miss you but this is important," her grandmother hugged her from behind. "My sunflower."

"That won't be necessary. You can go to sleep after it," Hadeon dismissed her and the maid nodded.

"I heard from Barnby that Lady Mallory went missing while asleep, so I thought I should keep an eye on her..." Ivy's voice trailed off, internally questioning whether what she had just witnessed was real or a figment of her imagination.

Hearing a creak outside the room, Hadeon turned to see Ivy standing at the door, her eyes wide. She quickly bowed to him.

A strand of her hair hovered near her lips, gently wavering with each breath. Leaning closer, he whispered, "This is the second time I've watched you sleep, Mallory Winchester. You're not as guarded as you think, so vulnerable." With a tender breath, he blew the hair away from her face.

"I guess we can continue tomorrow morning. You did almost become someone else's dinner," Hadeon murmured, watching her shift slightly in her sleep.

"Well, isn't that even better? I will get to catch up on my beauty sleep," Hadeon replied, before closing his eyes to sleep.

"Of course!" Hadeon responded in an understanding tone and he then walked to her bed before plopping his back flat on it. "Take your time, and I will get some nap in the mean time."

"Hm," Hadeon hummed, his head tilting as he stared at the painting and he said, "Probably. Try to remember conversations that you and she had. Maybe you will find something in there?"
