Banned in a book

Brian’s POV

Why did this happen all the time?
First they call me… or summon or whatever and then they can’t believe it and scream.
I haven’t found the right way to approach a woman yet…
And I finally would give up on it.

Today was another month starting where I was finally freed from my prison... for a short amount of time.
Was a book a prison?
In my case?
Yes, it was.

And why I was in prison? Stuck in this book?
I had no idea… I know there was a reason, I just don’t know which…
What I remember?
Blankness…
Just the voice of a woman talking to me, but not being able to recall what she said and who she was…
My name… I knew my name was Brian… and well… that was about it.

What I figured out during my time was, that I was called from woman through some kind of chant, when they had the book I was stuck in, they could call me under certain circumstances.
They call me Synyster Gates…
Why that? I don’t know.
I know my name is Brian… that’s it.

Here I am again, for another month, stuck to a woman I don’t know… Trying to make my miserable existents a little better…
What happened with the other women finding the book… I don’t want to think about most of them.. or the time… it wasn’t good… but spending the time in the book was even more horrible.

Being able to watch the world, but not able to do and feel anything… not knowing what was going on… Depending on someone else’s will!
Spending hours of wishing to get out… Wishing to know why I was here…
But how do I know if I only remember my name…

I took in the woman in standing across the room from me…
I don’t even remember how long ago it was that I was last summoned…
She was yelling and trying to open the terrace door, looking full on panicked and I wanted to soothe her, but didn’t know if I would make it better or worse.
I crossed the distance between us and grabbed her hands in mine she tried to pull away, her voice died down and tears appeared in her eyes.
Shit, this was really a different reaction than most.

“Please, just take what you want… but leave me alone…” She whispered and let herself slid down on the door and sat there, a tear slipped down her cheek.
I let go of her hand… and kneeled down before her… wow emotions… so raw… I moved my hand to her face and she flinched away.
I caressed her cheek with my knuckles and whisked the tear away with my thumb, looking at it astonished.
It must have been a long time, since I appeared last…
Then her words finally sank in, she thought I was someone who wants to hurt her, to rob her…

“I’m here because of you… Because you called for me…I won’t hurt you…” I told her the only thing I really knew.
She widened her eyes. “Please leave me alone… I didn’t call anyone.. My phone is in the bag, I really didn’t call-” She looked at me surprised, seeming to have a real close look at me.
“Oh my… this is not… where did you come from?” She asked and she seemed to finally get where I came from.
“The book..” She whispered before I could say anything but I nodded.
She raised her hand and stretched her finger out and softly poked my hair, then my cheek, her mouth slightly open like she couldn’t believe I was really here… well I also couldn’t believe it…
If I hadn’t had this situation a couple times before.

“You skin is warm… your hair.. is soft… how… you look like…” She pushed herself away from the floor and walked towards her table, the book lay there… open.
I couldn’t say how much I hated this book… How I wished to rip it to shreds… but I couldn’t… I couldn’t even touch it.
Like with women, when I was with them… I could touch them, but I couldn’t hurt them… not that I planned on it, but not even the slightest angry move towards a woman was possible, when that happened I was back in the book the next moment…

She took the book of the table and looked at the cover, my image there gone… the pages empty.
That happened when I was freed, after the month I was send back… my image back on the cover, my name or whatever it was back on the page with the instruction.
“It’s gone… this is… you were… there… How did… what…?” She stuttered looking from the book up to me and back down.
“Magic?” I asked her… or myself… I didn’t know.
“Alright… Selena, you got me… Ha ha… Very funny… Now get your friend and leave… I laughed… we all did… it’s over now.” She yelled and I looked around, who was she talking to now… As far as I knew no one else was here…

Her friend had left… She was the one responsible why I was here… All thanks to her… for now.
“Selena?” Her voice got quieter.
“She left… I don’t know what to say to make you believe me.” I said with a shrug and she looked at me, then shook her head.
“Okay, anyway… I don’t know who you are… and why you are here.. but.. I want you to leave.” Her voice got serious and I had to smile.
“I’m sorry, honey… But that’s not possible.” I smiled at her and she narrowed her eyes.
“What do you mean?” She frowned.
“For the next month we are stuck together… I am here, and I can’t leave… and I can’t even leave your side for more than a few feet…” I explained, knowing this from experience as well.
“Yeah, right… nice trick. There is the door.” She pointed towards the door and I shrugged, making my way towards her front door, getting outside down the street until I was stuck, when she didn’t follow.
“Go further.” She said still standing at the door.
“I can’t… not as long as you are not coming with me.” I tried again and she made a move forward, so could I.
“Are you kidding me?” She sighed…
“Get back in the house.. I can’t believe this.. what am I supposed to do?” She was talking to herself and moved back into the house, I followed behind, grinning… she was kinda cute… something completely different too, that was for sure.

I closed the door, and got a chill from the cold night air… making me remember I don’t have more clothes then the ones I was wearing.. which were a dress shirt and dark jeans… another news I had to break down to her… but maybe later…
