   Jazmine and Atticus were still in the library. She still had some more questions.
       "I don't know my comparisons to my mother except from what Yaya would tell me." And of course Jazmine hadn't ever met her mother, but only saw the leftover pictures of her. 
       "So you want to know why I go berserk after the ring is taken off, eh?" He chuckles a little. Jazmine was hoping it didn't have to do with taking her life. "Whenever that ring is taken off you will lose your command over me. And then I would take my ring back and for all your requests that you've wished and been granted - in return I'll devour your soul. Unless. Unless you say three meaningful words to me." He says to her. "What are those three words?" She asked. "I can't tell you. It's my little game I have created, so you'll have to play by the rules." Jazmine looked at her finger. She hasn't made any wishes yet, so is it okay if she would stop right now. 
       "I haven't made any wishes yet so if I take the ring off now will you still take my soul." Atticus looked at her surprised. No woman was in their conscience to know one easy way out  of the game. Atticus grins. "You are the first one to ever find any easy way out my little game. They were so tortured and full of revenge that they didn't consult with me about after. All I said to them was ' Don't take off the ring.' But in the end they still suffered a fate worst than what they had in the beginning." Jazmine gasps. She has an easy choice to just take off the ring. But can she? Atticus didn't exactly say what happens if she did take off the ring now.
      "If I take off the ring now will I be set free?" Atticus nods. "Just give me my ring and I will leave your life to yourself." Jazmine sighed. She cautiously slid the ring off her finger and gave it to Atticus. Once the ring was in his hand he had looked at Jazmine and grinned. Jazmine was hoping she made a wise choice. Her heart thumping loudly. Atticus moves closer to her once again. Jazmine closed her eyes in fear. There were a few other people here...could she scream for help? Atticus brushes his lips against hers. A little chill runs down her back as she gladly kisses back. 
      When she opened her eyes she found herself alone. There was no Atticus. She looked around and realized she had fallen asleep in the library as the night rise began. She hurried on home. Knowing that Yaya had probably been worried.
      The next morning at school.
Jazmine sat alone eating her breakfast as normal as it was. She was so happy, but didn't know why? Her smile was alive until Sanchez and Aliza were walking towards her. She pretended that she didn't see them and got up. "Where you're going Jazzy McEasy?!" Sanchez shouted from across the cafeteria. Everyone looked her away. She turned around and looked at her. "Where's that boy of yours? You know that guy who actually kissed you?" Aliza snickered. Jazmine knew she was talking about Atticus, but she doesn't even know where he is. She just says nothing. "Oh? Right! He must have realized how much a loser you were, so he's not here. Like oops, wrong girl!" Everyone in the cafeteria laughed at her. "Ay, isn't it that girl who kisses posters of hot celebrities." Aliza's boyfriend had shouted. Everyone  kept laughing. Jazmine found her smile to be dead...just like how she's feeling inside. Aliza's group of friends said so many false things about her that she ran off. She ran into the school's library. The librarians weren't there so she went inside. She went onto the upper library and hid herself from the world. Crying to herself. She wished that those girls were dead. She wished, but she knew none of it was coming true. Then she wanted to wish one more thing...
      
        "Atticus, I wish you were here. I want to make my wishes now." A few minutes passed close to an hour. Atticus hadn't shown. Jazmine just closed her eyes and gave up. She missed her chance to make things much better than they were. When she opened her eyes she saw a familiar face before her...
        
           "Atticus!" She said happily as if she was dying to see him. But she was. "Are you ready to make a wish, my lady?" He said to her in a formality. Jazmine had saw Aliza and Sanchez walking with their group of friends laughing about. She turned to Atticus and smiled.
          "I'm ready to make my wishes come true." Atticus looks at her with relief. His game was finally starting again. Him wondering if she will be like her mother. He gave her the ring and she slid it on her finger. Just like he did with all his summoners he had to warn her:
        "Don't take off the ring."
