That day the gang decided to go see Professor Hawkins. They knew that he possessed a vast knowledge of the ancient world, and an ever greater library. They just prayed he was home, and that they could find something.
They reached the professors mansion and Yami stepped up to ring the doorbell. The ring was sharp, and very loud. He guessed that it was the perfect thing for a house this massive. It was Rebecca who answered the door.
"Hi Yami, hi guys. What brings all of you here?" the little blonde girl asked, obviously pleased to see them. She smiled warmly at all of them, then gave a little wink to Yugi, which made him blush a bright shade of crimson.
"Hi Rebecca," Tea said cheerfully, ignoring the wink. "We need your help, or rather your grandfathers. Can we possibly speak with him?"
"Sorry guys, but gramps isn't in right now. But I can help, what is it that you need?" she said, stepping aside and motioning for them to step into the rather large front hall.
"We need to look at some of his books. Anything he has on vampires, if that's ok," Yugi said, smiling at her, trying to be polite.
"Sure, right this way," Rebecca said, leading the way to her grandpa's library. The room was massive. At least twenty feet high and consisted of shelves filled with books on all different subjects. Rebecca led the way to a large shelf, near the back of the room.
"Here you go guys; this entire shelf is filled with vampire books. Now is there anything else you need?" questioned the small blonde. She seemed politely ignorant to the fact that they had just showed up out of nowhere, asking to look at vampire books.
"No thanks, this will do," Joey said to her, just trying not to call her kid, which he knew she hated. She proceeded to leave the room.
"Good luck on your summer project for school you guys," she said turning. So that was why she was so ignorant to the fact that we're here, Tristan guessed. For a genius, she sure could be dense sometimes. No matter though. They had gotten just what they needed. Access to hundreds of books on vampires, and a room to study them in.
They had spent hours looking through countless books, and had found nothing. Tea was ready to fall asleep. That's when she glanced over to the shelf where the books on vampires were. There was a space in the shelf, where they had taken books from. And she noticed something in the wall, something different. She walked up to the wall, almost mindlessly, as though in a trance. She gently glided her fingers over the awkward stone, then realised that it was a loose brick; it was just covered in dust. She gently pried the brick out, and then gently placed it on the shelf. She reached in the hole and felt around. Then she pulled out a small black book. It was very old, ancient even. It was small, about the size of a diary, and it was pitch black. Tea walked over to the desk she had been sitting at, and opened the book. She proceeded to read. That's when she started to notice what she was reading.
"Guys, quick I think I found something," she called. The boys all ran over to her. She proceeded to read the book to them. It told of the lord, how to find him by using pentagrams and a map. How to kill him, and what to watch out for.
This is too easy, Yami thought. Why would someone write a book like this, and not use it. It's too suspicious, but if it will help us win, then I suppose it can't hurt.
"Well, looks like we have all we need, this will help us win for sure," Yugi said, optimistically. He called Rebecca into the room. He asked to borrow the book, and she had no problem with it. They left the Hawkins residence, and headed towards Yugi's, they were ready to win, they just needed to find where the vampire lord lived. And that would no longer be a challenge.
