He pushed open the doors and what we saw shocked us and it was something we didn't expect to see. A very large room like a library full of old books. We went in and looked around. At this point we weren't thinking about returning back, and living the store but moved in deeper.
Susan and I where shocked as our jaws dropped wide. we were short of words but at least we could say a "wow".
" You see guys, there's nothing bad or scary behind the door. It's just a large library full of spell books and fantasy stories." Gary said with excitement while looking at an old book that talks about fairies and magic. When I heard that I grabbed the book from his hands and started flipping through it with disbelief.
" Oh my, this, this is unbelievable" I exclaimed. I looked up to the shelf and was reaching for another book when out of nowhere a man spoke
" Intruders in my library ."
We were shocked to death. we screamed and ran as fast as we could towards the door. Lo and behold the door was gone. "what the hell what happened to the door?" Gary Asked with confusion written All over his face
" I can swear there was a door here!" yelled Susan in fright
"Let's go that way" Gary added pointing towards another part of the library so we ran the other way to hide. we were panicking really bad.
"We told you not to open the door but you refused to listen! Now we're gonna die! we're gonna die!" Yelled Susan with both anger and fright.
" What! You guys where the one's who went in with pleasure. I didn't Force you did I?!" Answered Gary
" Would you two just stop arguing for once!" I yelled.
we ran to the other side but there was no way out of that place so we gave up running and hid behind a huge shelf and caught ourselves some breath.
The man emerged from the darker part of the library and he didn't sound harmful or scary. He sounded so nice. But as he came closer it sent shivers down our spine
" Oh it's you, There's no need to run. I know you are here to find a way back home aren't you"? He asked in a nice tone." Come out of hiding would you"? He added
At first we weren't sure if we should come out, we couldn't help but to Wonder how he knew what our reason for coming here was. Even Susan shook her head as a warning to not answer him so we remained there and didn't answer him but it's seemed to be that he knew where we were hiding because we Heard his foot steps getting closer and closer to us, our hearts started racing when all of a sudden the sound of his footsteps stopped and the next thing we heard where " Kevin, Susan, Gary" we were shocked when we heard him call our names and asked each other how he knew it
" I'm not going to hurt you. Le Paso isn't that far from here, if you want to go back you just need to follow the signs. They are everywhere outside, but it seems you don't want to go back, you just want to spend the rest of your life staying behind that shelf" he added
"Maybe we should come out" I whispered. But they didn't give me a positive answer so I decided to go first. both Susan and Gary tried to pull me back but I told them I'll be fine and I just want to clarify something. When I came out I finally got a clear view of the man. He had long white hair lined all the way to his knee. He looked so Harmless. he wore a black suit that looked neat with his hands behind his back. He was well mannered and didn't have any expression on his face. I was surprised when he didn't pounce on me when I came out but said
" Dreamer, why do you look scared? it's not like I intend to hurt you. What about your friends aren't they going to come out"? He asked tilting his head sideways as if he wanted to see behind the shelf.
I followed his line of sight and quickly turned back to face him.
" Dreamer? I'm not 'dreamer' I'm...."
"Kevin, Kevin Christin. I know." he said while walking towards me. He then stopped standing really close to my face "infact I know you too well" he added before he stepped away. Shivers went down my spine, he was becoming too creepy.
"I know you all" He added again
Meanwhile Susan and Gary where listening to our conversation and where scared half way to death when they Heard his last statement.
"Pls sir we're sorry to have trespassed here we'll be leaving now you guys can come out now " I quickly said. And they came out. I remember Susan's jaw dropped upon seeing that man but she quickly arranged her self and asked " Sorry sir but where's the door"? And he just smiled and pointed towards the door. And again our jaws dropped wide because the door that disappeared a while ago was now back. I couldn't help but swallow in fear
" Uh ok, thank you so much we're leaving now and we promise not to come back here" Gary said. we then took to our heels and was heading for the door with out looking back when the man held me by the hand while giving me a book and said
" Here, you like this book right? you can have it. it's yours now"
At first I didn't want to take it but he was right, I do like it so i took with fears and told him " thanks" before dashing off.
" I have a feeling that we'll meet again" he said with a small grin on his face. After we got out of the library, we didn't even waste anymore time and ran as fast as we can out of the store. When we got out, lo and behold, what the man said was true. There where signs pointing towards the direction of Le paso, and when we followed it, we were finally back.
