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...
