She swallowed loud and turned but the form wasn't there anymore.
She felt the presence again behind her and swiftly turned to see the ghost entering the large shelf with her back to Fina. All Fina could see was her white long hair and then nothing.
She stood in front of the shelf, staring at it for a long time.
"Hey, we almost lost you there. Time to go back before they thought we are stealing books at the library" Shelly said
Zo slapped her palm on her forehead.
"There are lots of books here. They wouldn't even notice if we steal anything"
"Oh, I'm sorry, Einstein. Like this isn't Elfina and why are you staring at the shelf? Don't tell me you want to …
"Shel" Fina said
"Hmm?"
"Shut up" Fina said quietly.
Fina moved closer to the shelf and touched it. Nothing happened.
She stood at the middle of the shelf and pushed again.
"You know there are lots of ways to exercise. Just saying" Shelly said
"Help me push at the middle" Fina said
Shelly stood at her right and Zo at the left and they all pushed at once.
The shelf began to slide to the left and they quickly took a step back.
It slid completely to the left to reveal an hidden room.
No. Not an hidden room. Fina thought. A secret library.
"OMG" Shelly said "This is weird."
They all stepped into the library. It was dark except for the fireplace running.
The girls gave themselves confused looks. The shelf slid back into place when they took another step and they all gave themselves panicked looks.
There were paintings on the wall. Old paintings. The room was covered with cobwebs. In the middle of the library was a little fountain pouring out blood instead of water.
"I…thin..nk…we …we …we should…go now" Zo said shakily.
"I've seen this before….In my dream. One of them" Fina said as she moved closer to the wall, searching for writings. Her eyes suddenly landed on the old painting and she stared at it.
There was the diagram of the book in front of her again but this time, it looked very big.
"It's the same book." Zo said "Fin?" Zo said with a panicked voice. "It says~
"July" Fina completed "July 12 2018"
