Legs pumping. Heart beating wildly.
It was as if I was running to save my life Not Alexis's.
The house was nearing. I could see the broken windows.
Quietly I slip through the servant's door.
Light as I can be on my feet.
Trying to keep my desperate breathing slow and quiet.
Finally the library door. Lay in front of me.
I could hear the yelling. Through the walls. As if they were paper.
Quickly I open the door.
Sneaking to the back. Where the old. Musty books lay.
Tanaka said I would find it there.
Blue binding.
Gold embossing.
My fingers running along the spines
Chills run up and down my back. I spot it.
Slowly pulling it out.
I flip through the pages for the spell. When I find i.t the spell shocks me.
I stagger and knock over a pile of books
And Alexis and Raven look over at me.
I hadn't even noticed them.
