Chapter 28
Legends, stories scattered through a library.
Hello. I am going to college. Can't wait for volume 4. Well, actually I can, we all can.
Anyways new chapter. I am also tired. So very tired.
"So, why are we out here again? I mean, I realize that it's lovely out and with the drop in crime recently it's safer than ever but shouldn't we be watching the matches that are going on?" Andrea asked.
She had a point too. We could of been watching and cheering on our friends from a tv somewhere but a lot had been dumped on our plate recently. Something had been nagging in the back of my brain for a while and with everyone's attention focused elsewhere I thought now would be the best time to look into it. "We're just going to the library Andrea. Besides, what harm ever came from reading a book."
"Wasn't that what they said just before the mummy got unleashed?" She asked, needing to think back.
"Wow, you actually made a reference." I say in a shocked tone. She blushes and punches my arm as we continue on. Eventually the two of us get to the Vale Public library.
As we entered we were greeted by an immense collection of books, all of which were unorganized. As we went up and down the rows I wondered "where are the librarians?"
Well, ask and ye shall receive. Almost immediately after words Andrea gets knocked back into me. We stumble and land next to each other. "Oh my, I'm terribly sorry about that comes a soft voice. When we get up we look and see a *ahem* rather large woman that had what looked like a turban around her head. "I'm so sorry, this always happens. I'm the librarian here." She explained with a smile.
Andrea and i Look at each other before I ask, "if you're the librarian than you must know where all the fables must be. We're doing a... project, yeah a project and with everyone at the festival we couldn't think of a better time to go."
She looks at us a bit suspiciously but eventually smiled and showed us the section.
Soon arriving Andrea and I immediately got to work. Finding anything they had about our legend. We saw a lot of others, including one about some old wizard. Eventually, we found one book after tearing apart the entire section. But just as we were about to read more into it, three razor shard library cards shredded it. We look up at where they came from and see the librarian. A fire burning in her eyes. "I knew there was something hung suspicious about you two. They warned everyone to be on our guard if we saw suspicious activity. You'll just have to sit here until the police arrive. It's no use running." It was at that moment that she realized that we had ran.
"What was that about?" Andrea asked between pants.
"I don't know," I respond, "but I doubt it's good."
I look back and saw that she was gaining in us, so I stop and push one of the nearby shelves over blocking her. Or it would have if she didn't catch it, lift it into the air and throw it in from of us. She does this in every direction leaving us no escape, the nearest possible exit being a large stain glass window directly to our right but that only lead out into an open street.
"Now, I finally have you troublemakers cornered." She said. Her hair was a little messed up and sticking out of her turban thing and she was breathing heavily. "The police should be on their way here to stop you from destroying anything else."
At that I straighten and ask, "I'm, which police department did you call?"
She looks pulled at first, a standing up straight and putting a finger on her chin. "They said only one was available with all the commotion at the festival. What was its name. Blood clutch one or something."
"Oh no." I say as muffled polka music begins to play in the background. I tackle Andrea to the ground just as the librarian turns to see a police car blasting polka music crashed through the window. The three of us get up out of the ruble and see the officers Sarge,Grif, and Simmons. They had modified the cruiser to have a turret instead of a back seat.
Sarge gets out of the shotgun seat and looks at the librarian. "You called ma'am?" The librarian just stands there in shock before shaking her head and pointing to us. "There those are the terrorist. The suspicious people I told you about!"
Sarge just looks around. "Where?"
At this point the librarian has all but lost her patience, "right there! Those two!"
Sarge looks around again. "Are they behind Damien and his friends?"
She then collapses and starts crying. "I'm, let me explain."
-X-
"So they just sit around all day and watch these guys who also just sit around all day?" The librarian asked in shock.
"Yep, pretty much. Look sorry about the whole misunderstanding. You can go now guys." I say to red team.
"Well boys, look like our job is done." Sarge says as he get back into their cruiser.
"But you didn't do anything!" Andrea yells as they whistle and cheer before doing a donut and crashing through the remains of the window.
"Well, sorry about all this." I say while he's tiring around at the utter destruction that was once a library.
The librarian sniffles for a bit before getting up. "No. I'm the one who should. E apologizing for thinking you were terrorists."
"Speaking of which I love your hijab." Andrea says.
"Her what?" I ask.
"It's a traditional head garment typically used by women in Athens Middle East and Africa." She explains.
"What? Oh, no. These are just my ears. I'm an elephant Faunus." And she unraveled it to reveal two ginormous ears.
Andrea and i just go wide eyed and start to leave. "We will never speak of this again. Deal."
"Deal"
Yay! Done! Now I can go play Overwatch.
Arrivederci
