Chapter 9-

-Fantastic unknowns-

It didn't look anything like I'd expected, It reminded me of a miniature castle; oversized doors, decrepit brick work- y'know, all the things you would expect from an old-aged building in general. But the fact was, it would be no use staring at its physical form, the whole point of this... Lets say, 'mission' was to get inside it and just to add to it, the thought of breaking into a school really wouldn't help with my reputation- stalking books and breaking into schools, ha. What a combination.

I didn't really waste any time trying to find a way in since to my luck, some idiot had left an opening through one of the ground floor windows, making it easy for my small build as it was to climb and slip in through.

It was obviously dark in the corridor itself- I mean, with or without Cedric's reminder, I'd still have known it was best to go at night- I wasn't thick.

The dim chestnut coloured flooring seemed to trail on forever and I was already becoming paranoid by the silence that formed in the building. I don't know if it was because of all the awkward pauses with Ced that was causing my paranoia- but I could tell- that even for an empty school building that obviously hadn't bothered paying out for alarms or good window locks, this atmosphere was TOO quite... And on top of all that, I had no idea where the heck I was going.

What? You expected me to have some seventh sense or something? I may not be truly human, but I was only physically human and lets face it, the only use my 'power' could do was track the power particles from a particular distance! Not to mention even though the glorious moonlight illuminated the surroundings slightly more, it was still pretty dark-...
Speaking of illuminating lights...

I seemed to have completely dropped the thought of that blue glow back in the shop- and it bugged me further how Cedric just happened to be behind THAT door. I have to admit- I was wondering whether Cedric was actually some sort of wizard- I couldn't help but chuckle at the thought.

Carefully pushing open what seemed to be the canteen door- It then seriously became apparent to me that I was in fact lost and must have been simply lingering around an empty school for the past half an hour. Ugh- great.

It was then the sound of a boulder smashing down to Earth suddenly irrupted, shaking the ceiling and causing me to leap out of my own skin and retreat to the wall. Oh god- Was there someone here?!I could clearly see myself visably shaking and physically slapped myself. No- If there was someone or... Something here, I would be the predator- NOT the prey.

After recovering slightly, I ignored my concience and dashed outside the canteen to be met with another corridor and without thinking, speed up the twisting stairs- almost like tiger- before tripping on the last step like the idiot I was and hitting heads with the hard wooden flooring.

Completely dazed and grunting from the sudden meeting with the floor, I lifted my head to look forward; only to see a principles office- as it said on the plate screwed to the door, and the library.
I could feel the grin of relief spread across my face and made no attempt to stay where I was. Intruder being behind the door or not- The top priority was to see if Cedric's assumption was correct or not and nothing was going to get between me and that book! After almost kicking open the door, I peered in- It looked to be empty... Hopefully. I really didn't want this task to become difficult. After all, he may not have been correct, and this task could just be a complete waste of time.

I couldn't help but sneer at the hundred or so books placed in columns after columns- because lets face it, the only thing I'd been laying eyes on for weeks where the paperback crap.

As by routine, I swished my hair back against my head- feeling the same spark formed inside me like before and my sight was changed to seeing the small amount of gold-coloured 'dust' particles. I'll be honest, I missed this feeling. But since I very much doubted there to be many otherworldly books here, I didn't prevent myself from casually swaggering around the isle- seeing if I could spot anything bizarre.

I honestly felt as if I'd been walking for hours and still nothing was here... and damn- the amount of filthy words that my brain was saying just proved how pissed I was.

See? He's just causing you to waste time!

Shut up. I mentally scolded myself. This wasn't a massive problem, at least I knew for definite that the book wasn't here. But then as if my lightning- something struck me. A thought that had only been realised until now...

Why the actual hell was I so obsessed to find the bloody thing? And so suddenly?

After meeting Cedric, and having the couple of weeks to understand him a bit better- I guess I had become a little more relaxed in the whole thing... I honestly knew, as much as I tried to deny- I really did enjoy being around him more than searching for the light book- I guess I'd become a little less selfish towards other beings, in a way...

So why was I suddenly so intertwined with trying to find it? ...was it because of the nightmare from... Her?
No, no. It couldn't have been. I looked up to her as my... Master... But that wasn't the point! I still had free will!- unless it was simply because 'Sir Blonde' had said so... Yeah... Must have been tha-

The abruptness of the sudden impact and noise left me frozen to the spot- I could feel my insides shudder from both the shock and my own bloody power spazzing out- Confusion raced through my mind- questions burning up any physical sense I still had and it soon came apperent to me that I wasn't just scared stiff by the this... It was the power that seemed to have merged with my own.

That's what was causing me to react like this.

I could feel it- the bolts of energy racing through my system- stunning me like this. And what was scaring me the most was the fact that this power was positive-

Light, good... Powerful power. Well- I was screwed. I can tell you that.

Until- I'd say a miracle happened- the shere force output took a sudden turn of events and stopped, Leaving me to face the upclose and personal meeting with the floor once again.

A groan escaped my lips as I clutched at both my chest and head. Jesus- that power really was... Odd- and hadn't failed to leave a nasty aftertaste.
As the pain died down, I kneeled up- recovering from what just happened- and a little suprised there was still a slight blustery wind coming from behind me.

Damn... I just wanted to find the book and leave! Was that really too much to ask?!

Obviously it was.

Since next I felt a cold chill run down my spine, as a bright glow formed from behind me, shining past my own body and reflecting on the wall in front of my sight. Just to make matters that much better- the glow was blue.

Meaning this was possibly the same situation from back in the library.
Hesitantly looking behind me I saw what I'd been edging to look at last time-

A wide circle shaped space-looking thing- creating the same type of space echoes and noises. I mindlessly stood infrount of it, eyes widen at the site...

So surreal.

So peaceful.

So... weird,

Yet so... Magnificently beautiful.

And I still had no idea what it was.
I have to admit, I'd never seen anything like it- but if I could have compared it to anything- It would probably be some type of portal.
I hadn't moved- nor said anything and yet... I could feel something change- as of the whole 'peacefulness' of this thing was about to take a turn for the worst... And that for one, was what I turned out to be correct in thinking.

Static type noises and shapes seemed to appear off the edges as quick as lightning before the portal itself grew bigger and even though I was still so amazed by it- I stepped back.

Then the reperance of pain came along- but this time in my eye. Right eye to be more specific.

I snarled in anger and distress as this pain increased and to be honest, I'm still not sure if my ears became more sensative or it was just the fact I hadn't been paying viewable attention, but the sound of the static-like elelctrizity emitting off the big glowy circle seemed to increase, and before I could look up to find out what it was, even my shaded eyesight was blinded by the sudden brightness of what I suspect was the form in front of me and I could slowly, but surely feel as myself and my body where was engulfed by the pure energy and light of this... Still to be, thing.
