Chills ran down my spine. As I turned around to see who the person standing in behind us was. "PHEW" I exclaimed. It was just the grumpy old librarian lady.
She then spoke," Your ID card please". We showed her our ID cards and held our breath as we quickly walked past her. "Zoey how do you know her?!" asked Kai in a low voice. "She-she's an old friend of my grandma... they studied together I think," I said.
We then walked over to an empty table and placed down our bags."I'll be right back" I said and left to find the history section. Just as I was searching for a book about 'King George III' something caught my eye.
POV
2 HOURS LATER~
I closed the book in front of me." I am done, what about you guys?" I said."Few more minutes we are almost done," said Lia "Same here" added Kai
I stretched my arms out, 'What should I do now?' I thought to myself. Kai then said, "They have added new books to the library you can go ask Miss Sadie!" "Oh I saw one book while I was in the history section I'll go get it" I replied
I went to search for that book as I had forgotten where it was. Suddenly I saw something glowing on the bookshelf and there it was. Just as I was about to take the book. Mrs. Olivia
'That was weird I thought to myself and decided to ignore what she said. When I got to my table. Lia asked, "What took you so long?!"
"It is nothing it was just Mrs. Olivia said something about my grandma, it's probably nothing forget it" I replied
"ACTUALLY, It might be SOMETHING, First you grandma talking a book, and now Miss Olivia," Said Lia. "Lia chill Miss Olivia is always weird," I said. Just then Kai yelled "STOP IT you two, it is a library, not a fish market"
"Somehow you sound like my teacher right now," I said
"Yeah sure, Well I am done studying, " Kai said "Me too" added Lia. "Well then we can get going I guess" I exclaimed
"NO," both Lia and Kai said
"Fine, This is the book that just randomly started.. glowing. Its name is" I paused for a minute and mumbled, "There is no.. name" "What? What do you mean it has no name?" Lia questioned. We all gathered around the book. Lia asked, "Huh?! there is no name written on this book!" "I know, That is really odd for a book if I were the author I definitely would have not forgotten to put a 'Title' " Lia sighed and said "Kai focus! Look there are a few symbols on top, hmm a woman? a dragon? a flower? a leaf? water? Food? Huh-? ." " I don't understand It's like jumbled up things are used to make this symbol or something, Do you understand this Zoey?" Kai Said "I don't know, let's find out," I said. We opened the book and a GUST of wind blew out of the book so hard that it made us fall down."OUCH! WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT?" Kai bellowed. We got up and looked at the book but the pages were empty so we flipped the page and it was empty too!!
"Why are all the pages empty?" asked Lia
"I am not sure, but we got to go my mom called me 5 times already," I said "Ok I'll go to the front desk and withdraw this book," Kai added
Both Lia and I waited outside for Kai. She came out and handed the book over to me and said "You should keep the book my brother goes through my stuff all the time" "I lose stuff all the time so you definitely should keep it"Lia said "Ok I guess, let's get going before it becomes dark"
After I got home, I went to my room and open the book to see if I was missing out on something.
'Hm.. still nothin' I turned to see who the author was...and there it was it read
"The previous Author -Daisy Smith-
-Authors Note-
Find the heat do what it says. Heed my warning as you may you will be atasc
Zoey I know you're reading this I know the book chose you... but please don't investigate further...
My eyes filled with tears.' Grandma..I-' I blubbered
Just then my mom knocked on the door and said "Time for Bed Zoey"
"Y-yes M-mom" I replied
I wiped my tears and closed the book. I did not want to think about anything anymore, I closed my eyes and slept off.
I had my usual nightmare but...this time grandma talked to me! When I turned towards her she said, "You making a really big decision Zoe but I have already warned you... I miss you my angel " with a warm smile.
I woke up with tears in my eyes and a smile on my face.
I got up and took the book with me to school. When my friends came they immediately started to ask me questions
"So did you find anything?" "Did you find out who wrote this book?" "Why did a gust of wind come out of the book?"
"GUYS CHILL"
As I was in deep thought. Miss Kim
"Zoey You need to start focusing this is going to come in your final, please stay back after class"
"Got it" I replied
After the class, miss Kim asked "Zoey is everything ok?"
"Yes ma'am, it's just some thoughts"
"Oh, Zoe is it about you grandma?"
I hesitated I had told nobody other than Kai and Lia about my grandma...
