A/N Second chapter. Read it my friends, ReaD IT!
"OW! What just happened," Josie moaned sitting up. She looked around the closet as her eyes adjusted to the dark, a wide panel of light shined down onto her and Lucas. "Lucas," she whispered, shaking him.
"Ow," he said rubbing his head, "Where are my glasses? Where are WE?" He reached over Josie to grab his glasses where they had landed, "Sorry." It was good that it was mostly dark because Josie was the exact shade of her hair, "Ain't no thing. Well lets find out where we are." She scrambled to her feet and peered out the grubby window, "It looks like the library… But…"
"But what? Is everything purple? Is it populated by aliens?"
"No…but… Is there some weird 1900s dress up thing going on today?"
"Not that I know of why?" Lucas stood up next to Josie rubbing the glass to try and get a better view out into the library. Two people stood in the light of the fire, a man and a woman dressed like they were in My Fair Lady.
"Well lets get out of here," Josie said, pushing at the door, "Its locked?"
"Its not locked Josie," Lucas said pulling the door in vain, "Its locked."
"Shhh," she shushed, getitn. g down on her hands and knees, pressing her ear to the slim crack under the door, "I cant hear anything!"
"Move," Lucas whispered moving to the ground, "I have freakishly good hearing, you try and see whats going down." Josie nodded and got up, peering out the window. She watched the pair outside, they looked like well…lovers. The woman grabbed the mans hand and pulled him down next to her.
" Hes saying.. 'something something I'm married something I've only ever loved you something something money' and she's saying 'it doesn't matter…after tonight it doesn't mean anything something something something' What are they doing?"
Josie made a disgusted looked and choked, "You don't want to know. Wait! Someone else is coming in! Ooh, she's pretty."
"Josie focus! It sounds like she caught her husband with some other woman. Oh! There talking! 'something something What are you doing something we're married something how could you.' What are they doing?"
"The wife just ran up the stairs, the other chick followed her and the guy is reaching into his coat for something." Lucas stood up next to Josie and stared out into the library. There was a scream and they watched as the second woman fell and hit the floor with a thump and as she began to rise, the man withdrew a pistol from his jacket and shot the body on the floor. "Oh my gosh!" Josie said sliding to the floor. Lucas stared out still watching the events outside. The first woman came down the stairs (they were facing it) and grabbed the gun, throwing it into the fire. The gun misfired into the top of it as the pair ran out the door.
"Josie, Josie," Lucas urged, "Get up, c'mon its okay." He couldn't wrap his head around that girl. He had always had a sneaking suspicion that she had either witness a shooting or had shot someone else, but appernetly not. He pulled her up just as a maid ran into the room, wailing over the body, and her yell could be heard clearly even in the tiny closet, "Mistress Diane! Someone come quick!" A flash of light shot around Josie and Lucas. "NO!" Josie yelled.
