Chapter 9
Soren had thought he could reach the Library. It seemed like it should've been simple enough. Go down to the first floor, find which room it was based off what he'd seen of it as an owl.
But the stair case had started moving while he was on it, taking him to a platform with no other stair cases. There was only a door, so that's where he went. Now he wasn't sure where he was.
"Oh where is the library?" He asked to himself.
He hadn't realized someone else was nearby. "You're looking for library?" The Other said.
Soren turned around, realizing with some annoyance he couldn't move his Other head like his owl head. He nodded.
"I pass the library on the way to class. I can show you." He volunteered.
Soren smiled and nodded. "Thanks."
The two started down the hall. "I'm Soren by the way."
"Oh, I'm Neville."
Neville led Soren back out to the stair cases. "I think this is the way we go." Neville said.
They started down the stairs. Halfway down the stairs Neville stopped. "No . . . wait. It's the other way." They dashed back up and started down a different stair case. But when they reached the bottom the only place to go was up. "Don't worry. I know where I'm going." He started up the stairs. Soren followed, then their feet got stuck. Soren looked down. His foot was sinking into the step.
The two had to help each other out. "Sorry about that." Neville said.
Soren nodded. "No problem." He panted. Though in his head he was thinking, This school is crazy. They have stairs that try to kill you.
At the top of this platform, there was a stair case going down, right down to the right floor. The two went down it, this time without any trick steps. Then they walked along the hall until they reached Neville's classroom. "That's weird. I thought for sure the library was before this room." Neville said.
"It is." An Other behind them said. Soren didn't know it, but it was Luna.
Soren nodded. "Right. I can get there on my own now. Thanks you two!" He called, giving them a wave as he ran off towards the library.
