Chapter 3
A History and an important discovery
As Sora drug Tai out of the big black door and across the huge entry way to, two other tall black double doors across the room. As they opened one of the doors and stepped inside they realized that this was the library. Inside the library there was a man typing on his laptop at a desk and in front of the desk was a huge statue of this weird Egyptian thing holding a wand. Not only that there was an old computer in the back of the room that looked like it hadn't been used in while and on top of all that the room was filled with books but not just any type of books old books that have been there centuries.
"Excuse me" Sora asked the guy who was working on his laptop.
"Oh hello there, I didn't here you guys come in" the guy said.
"Oh were sorry for disturbing" Sora said.
"Oh it's quite all right, my name is Nigel by the way" Nigel said.
"Well it's nice to meet you Nigel, my name is Sora and this is my friend Tai" Sora said.
"Ah yes you are some of the kids that are staying here at Blackmoor" Nigel said.
"Yeah we are" Tai said.
"Well it's a pleasure to meet both of you" Nigel said and shook both of there hands.
"Nigel is it ok if we ask you some questions" Sora said.
"Of course I'd be delighted to answer any questions you have" Nigel said.
"Well what do you know about Blackmoor Manor?" Sora asked.
Well for a matter of fact I know quite a bit because I'm writing a book on there family history" Nigel said.
"Well can you tell us about some of the history" Tai asked.
"Of course young man that's no problem at all" Nigel said.
"Well that's great" Tai and Sora said together.
"So the Takenouchi's have been around for along time, since the medieval ages and as you can see a lot of the themes in this manor have something to do with medieval times. Well one of the ancestors is known to be a witch and she was burned at the stake" Nigel said.
"Was she really a witch?" Sora asked.
"No she wasn't, she was just cast down for being different from everyone else" Nigel said.
"What happed after" Tai asked.
"Well people say she left a curse open any of whom who didn't believe her and the curse was that they would end up becoming a hideous, monstrous beast called the Beast of Blackmoor." Nigel said.
"Well when we first arrived here we seen red glowing eyes and low growling noises" Tai said.
"Well that describes the beast perfectly, but also that Takenouchi's had to go into hiding for a while, so they could get there act back together because of what the so called witch Elinor supposedly did" Nigel said.
"What else do you know about the Takenouchi's" Sora asked.
"Well I know there's a deep dark secret that lies behind these walls" Nigel said.
"What's the secret" Sora asked again.
"Well there's suppose to be a treasure hidden somewhere in this Manor but whether or not it's still here I don't know" Nigel said.
"Do know what the treasure is supposed to be?" Tai asked.
"No I don't, so I can't help you with that, because all I know is that it's supposed to be very rare and old, but the Takenouchi's have left secrets behind so the next Takenouchi could find the treasure and help protect it from people who want to find it and cash it in or spend it or something" Nigel said.
"Thanks, you don't mind if we look around the library do you" Sora asked politely.
"Oh not all, look all like" Nigel said.
"Thanks" Sora said, and she and Tai walked in to the other part of the library where the old computer is.
"Hey Nigel do you know the password to this computer" Tai asked.
"No I'm sorry Jane told me and I forgot, but ask Jane she knows" Nigel said.
"Ok thanks" Sora said, and then she and Tai left the library.
Outside of the library…………..
"Well that was weird" Tai said.
"Yeah and it's even weirder how he knows all that stuff on my family" Sora said.
"So who's Jane?" Tai asked.
"Well Jane's my cousin" Sora said.
"So why don't we go and ask her for the password to that computer" Tai said.
"Well you see Tai she not as old as me and you" Sora said.
"So that doesn't mean we can't ask her for the password" Tai said.
"That's not the thing, the only way to get something from her is to play a game with her" Sora said.
"So that's a problem" Tai said.
"Yeah, because she always wins and never loses because they're her games" Sora said.
"Well I think she's met her match, because I'm good at little kid games and other games" Tai said a little more suggestively then he should of.
"Tai some things I need to know and others I don't" Sora said.
"Ok I was only saying" Tai said before he got cut of by Sora.
"Tai I'm serious stop" Sora said with a disgusted look on her face.
"What you and Matt haven't gone all the way yet" Tai said with a smirk on his face.
"No! And wipe that smirk off your face right now Kamiya" Sora said angrily.
"Sora I'm Sorry I didn't mean to offend or anything ok, I'll just keep my mouth shut ok because you and matt are obviously going threw something" Tai said with a concerned look on his face.
"You're sorry" Sora said as if she had never heard those words come out of his mouth before.
"Well yeah, I learned my lesson the last time, me being the guy must always be the one to apologize because it's normally the guys fault the girl is upset in the first place so the mature thing to do is say sorry so we don't fight and stay really good friends" Tai said with that goofy smile on his face.
"How do I know you're not lying" Sora said with a smirk on her face.
"Because I would never lie to you, you're my best friend" Tai said with a more serious face.
"Well I forgive you then, so lets go up the stairs and find Jane's room and ask her about the password" Sora said and led Tai up the stairs to where all the bedrooms are.
