Chapter Five: I Discover... uhmmm... I Don't Know What To Call It
I sprinted to the bus station and luckily made it just in time before my bus had left. I wept unable to keep my feelings contained any longer. I left my only friend, my only sense of protection, I left the only thing as close as a father I could ever get with no possible answer to where to find me. Finally after a grieving two hours I was able to get off the bus and walk the rest of the way. I slid back my hood on so no one could see my face. My eyes were still red and puffy from crying and I couldn't stop thinking about what I left back at the library.
In about 15 minutes I was at the exact address written on the page but I wasn't sure if this is the place I was suppose to come to. I was at an old abandoned library called, Williamston Public Library. I could understand why it was abandoned, the whole city was deserted, I only saw 5 or so people on my walk here and they looked really creepy. I also had to walk through a dark alley to get here, really creepy. Well, I guess this is the place. I opened the dusty door and entered the abandoned library.
I was met by a spider on my hand. GROSS! I shook it off. I'm not a big fan of bugs, I kind of freak out around them. Yes, I know your probably thinking that you're such a girl but hey! I like to point out that I am a girl.
Anyways the whole place was dusty, moldy and had the worst smell of a rotting body. Body of what? I don't want to find out. The shelves were still full of what 100 books ? It wasn't a huge library. I looked around the shelves wondering what I was supposed to do. None of the books were related to Greek and Roman Mythology, nor did any books have a lock. After about 30 minutes I gave up. I looked through every single book they had and swatted away some unwanted bugs. I was about to leave when I tripped over a rug. I fell face forward.
"Oww! That killed." I grumbled to myself.
The rug was flat and seemed impossible to trip over, but then I realized that there was a tiny bump barely see-able to the human eye. I got curious and lifted the rug up. I found a secret passage and it led down to a cold, dark hallway. As a normal person I went down the stairs to discover this hidden passage.
I feel like I'm in one of those Harry Potter books. The Chamber of Secrets. Have you read them? Walking down a dark, scary passage frightened to see what's on the other side, but I'm pretty sure Harry had the more deadlier one.
Anyways once I stepped foot in the cold, damp tunnel lights came on. Well not exactly lights, it was more like a row of lighted torches hanging on the side of the walls. I picked one off the wall just in case. I started to make my way down the hallway. I came to halt when I faced two tunnels going opposite directions.
" Why does everything have to be so complicated," I muttered to myself.
I went to the first tunnel leading off to the right and took a step. Dry. Not a single sound. Then I went to the second tunnel which went left and took a step. It made a splash sound. Yes! But is it just water or something else? I bent down and touched the liquid with my finger tips. I brought it close to my face and examined the liquid. Just what I expected. Poison. What kind of poison I have no clue. I wiped the poison off my fingers and made my way down tunnel two.
I know what you're thinking. What you're crazy! Who goes down a tunnel with poison? You're making the biggest mistake of your life! Turn back! I may be crazy as I mentioned in the beginning. As for making the biggest mistake of my life I think not. If you were paying attention my stuffed panda bear is named Poison. To me Poison is a good sign.
I continued down the poisoned hallway and no. I didn't actually get poison, I don't know why but I didn't. I stopped when I came to a locked door. This wasn't any normal door. It was purple and it said "Poison #3." It was chained and it had a lock where you have to type something in I don't know what you call it. I'm not an expert. I was confused. Why was there two locks? I only have one key. Then I understood what my father meant by the key is not the answer, only a clue.
"Of course," I said having one of those Ahah moments.
He didn't mean to put the key in the hole otherwise I'd be blown to bits. He meant for me to use it as a clue to figure out the password that would unlock the door. Now this is where the thinking comes in. I guessed I only have one chance otherwise ... well I don't want to think otherwise. I have got to get this.
After twenty minutes of sitting and thinking I decided to go and get a book to read. I was making my way back when I dropped the key. The key! That's the answer. No one could be smart enough to use the key. I may be crazy but it was my only chance. I turned back, walked to the door and typed in three very smart letters " K-E-Y." The door made this groaning sound like it hasn't been used in years.
I covered my ears and said," Oh god I'm going to die."
Right when I said it the door opened.
I gasped.
I found a ... uhmmm ... who knows what I found.
