As John entered the hallway to the kitchen he found an open book on the floor and his curiosity got the better of him. He picked up the book and looked it over a bit, the title read Legends and Lore, from that he knew that it was the family book of the animals with 'special powers'. Against his better, more logical judgement he decided to read the book a bit.
Animals believed to be the culprits of missing humans: Wolves, Foxes... After which the pages was torn off. John decided he had read enough and set the book back where he had found it and inadvertently found a page torn out frommt he book called Remedies, and with a slight chuckle John pocketed the page. And he subsequently entered the kitchen.
