Chapter 4

Rayne peered out the window trying to see if he was there. Sure enough he was there standing across the street in an oversized raincoat staring at him. That senile cop must have told him where he was. He has been here only a day after that dumb, blond girl opened that dreadful book.

I tried to warn her you know. I tried to warn her just like the others. His mind reminded him so he won't feel the guilt. If there was anything that would make him go home, it was the guilt piercing his heart like knives into flesh.

Rayne soon noticed that the stranger was strolling towards the library when he got back into the real world. He was walking in the rain like he was an ordinary person who wanted a book, but Rayne knew the truth. He ran to the storage area so the man would think no one was here. He hoped it would work.

Ring! The mysterious man was in the library now. He stopped in the middle of the room and turned his head around. "Hello anyone here?" the stranger asked staring straight at the storage area where Rayne was sweating like a pig and as worried as an ant against a giant. He walked around acting like he was sizing up the place. He paused all of a sudden at the carved door with the dragons, wizards, and knights. He laughed a deep cold sound.

"You know we will bring you home, my friend. You will come back," the visitor said talking straight at the librarian. He reached into his coat in a way a normal person would think like he was getting a gun. Rayne wasn't afraid of a gun. He was scared of something much worse.

The alien took out a book in blue leather with a castle in a valley standing proud and tall. In golden cursive, it had The Wonders of Myth. He opened it up and threw it on the floor. Rayne closed the door at that moment and saw a white, bright light shooting through the cracks. After the howling ended, the librarian crept out of the storage closet. The only thing he saw was the horrible book standing all innocent on the ground.

"No you won't my fellow ally. You are not going to catch me," Rayne told the now missing visitor as he pick up the book and started cleaning up the place like nothing happened. It was too bad he couldn't shake the feeling like he was about to die.
