"Oh…this is the library." Casey mumbled as they walked up the front steps of the large building. April pushed the double doors open and let out a content sigh at the familiar surroundings. There were rows and columns holding thousands of books throughout the structure. "This place sucks."

"Oh shush. I love coming here." April said as she waved to the librarian. She walked over and wrote her name down on a sign-up sheet.

"What are you doing?"

"Signing up so we can use one of the computers since Donnie is still fixing my laptop."

"They have computers here?" Casey questioned. April just playfully rolled her eyes before leading him over to a different section of the library. There were different rows of computers with people going on Google or YouTube. Most of them being teenagers watching anime. "Wow."

"Yeah, now come on." April said as she seated herself in front of the monitor. She quickly clicked the internet icon and started looking up different accidents near Casey's apartment. Casey glued himself to April's shoulder as he slowly read over the different results. "Uh Casey, you mind backing up a bit."

"No." He stated as he tried to take the mouse from her hand. She quickly slapped his hand away and tried to search more. It was relatively quiet until Casey started asking questions. "Did you find anything yet?"

"Not yet."

"…How about now?"

"No."

"…Now?"

"…"

"…Ok, how about now?"

"Casey…" April said catching his attention. She took a deep breath before saying. "Why don't you go look for a book or something to read so I can focus."

Casey nodded and slowly backed away as he took notice to the redhead's irritation. He walked to one of the bookcases muttering, "Wow, this place gets to ya."

A few minutes later, after some wandering and hurrying away from a knocked over bookshelf, he found himself in yet another different area of the library. He looked up at the towers of books before he saw a small sign shaped like an arrow taped to the shelf. He took it into his hand and it read, 'Recommended Reads'. He looked at the varying choices and scowled when his eyes landed on the Twilight series. He took the books and quickly shoved them aside. He scanned over the other titles when a certain hardcover caught his attention. He pulled it out and read the cover.

The Hunger Games

It was no later after he read it that he heard a faint whistle. He spun around in search of the source, but found that he was alone. He shook his head a bit before looking over the book again and reading some of the first chapter. He immediately recognized the main character, Katniss Everdeen.

"…The hell?" Casey muttered as he flipped through the pages. "How do I know this?"

He looked to the shelf to put the book back but found that it was part of a series. He pulled the other two out and took a seat on the floor. The second book was titled Catching Fire. He heard something again, only this time it was a little girl cheering, 'Catching Fire! Catching Fire!'

He looked around again to see that he was still alone. He hurriedly opened the book and read over the familiar text. 'Quarter Quell…President Snow…Fire-bombing…How the hell do I know this?'

A sudden pain welled up in his head as different images flashed through his eyes. It was him and his two cousins when they were younger. Allie, the oldest, held the three novels in her lap before she started to read the first one aloud to them. At one point she did the small whistle that accompanied the book. She laughed as the other two failed to whistle the simple tune. Then she was reading the second book, and the youngest, Bella, was cheering 'Catching Fire!' as Casey lit several matches. It ended with him and Bella laughing at Allie for crying over a depressing part of the third book.

He held his head and groaned in pain as more memories flooded his head. 'So many memories…too many…'

Thunk!


April hurriedly searched the library for Casey as she clutched the papers she had printed out. After an hour of two of research, she finally found a report on the accident that his cousins were involved in. She asked several people of his whereabouts but they simple waved her off, too enthralled by their stories. She rolled her eyes and groaned slightly in frustration before the librarian told her she saw him head towards the Sci-Fi section.

"Sci-Fi?" April asked, raising a brow in confusion. The librarian just gave a shrug before walking off with a cart full of books. April quickly made her way over to that section of the library and ignored the many looks of nerds who were seated, clutching their comic books. "Casey? Are you here?"

She looked up and down the different aisles and was about to give up when she finally found him on the floor. Unfortunately for her, he was unconscious.

"Casey!"
