My phone beeped and made me jump, nearly dropping the book I was holding!
I sat the book down and checked my phone.
Two text messages, one from my mom, and one from Aerie.
They both wanted to know how it was going...
To Aerie I wrote:
"I'm doing fine, no thanks to you! :( I'm in the library right now."
And to my mom I wrote:
"We're doing fine, mom. I'm having a lot of fun! We're right in the middle of Psycho! :)"
I flipped my phone shut, that's when I took notice of the time.
It was 12:00AM!
I must have been lost in the world of books for quite some time!
I picked up the book I had layed down and put it back where I got it, wanting to leave the place as I found it.
I picked up my flashlight and pushed the top back down to a single beam.
Then walked over to my duffel bag and slung it over my shoulder.
Still holding my cell phone, I flipped it open and accessed the camera, turned it around and took a picture of myself in the library.
There's their proof.
I shined my flashlight around the room once more and frowned.
Once you get past the creepy atmosphere, it is quite a lovely library.
Saying my final farewells to this lovely library, I turned my back on it, and started for the door.
That's when I heard a long loud crrreeeeeeaaaaakk.
It echoed off the walls and chilled me to the bone.
Then there was silence.
I was shaking now.
What was that?!
I was frozen, with my hand on the doorknob.
I was afraid to open the door.
What if there's something out there?!
What if it's that thing?!
Oh, no! I bet it's angry!
I pulled my hand back from the doorknob, my hand was shaking so fiercely it had started to rattle it.
I put my ear to the door.
I could hear faint footsteps, and they were getting closer.
I gasped and pulled my head back.
Quickly and silently sneaking over to the desk.
I slid underneath it, ignoring the cobwebs and resisting the urge to sneeze.
I pulled my bag under with me and turned off my flashlight.
It was so pitch black, I couldn't even see my hand in front of my face!
The footsteps were very close now, I could hear them clearly.
They stopped in front of the library's door.
I put my hand over my mouth and nose to quiet my ragged breathing.
Please don't open the door...
Please don't come in here...
Please don't notice me...
Please...
Please...
Please...
