Aivenna finally get home, after searching for three hours.
"Hallo! Anybody home?" she yelled. Nobody answered. "That's odd Nivenna and Intress should be her be now." she said to herself. She goes into the kitchen hoping to find Nivenna or Intress. There was a note on the counter with Intress's hand writing on it.
Dear Aivenna,
Me and Nivenna are going to Maxxor's castle for a meeting with Najarin. I'm not sure how long it will be, but I'm sure we'll be back before dinner. Please cook dinner since I will not have time to and make sure to put enough meat in it for Nivenna's Underworld appetite.
Love Intress.
"Well, at lest I have an hour or so, before I have to tell Nivenna about her journal." Aivenna sighed. She know the only right thing to do is to tell Nivenna the truth, then run for her life, because Nivenna will more than likely try to kill her.
Somebody began to knock on the front door. Aivenna goes to see who it is. She opened the door and there was one of those weird creatures Intress told her about. What where they called again? Chaotic players that's it. Aivenna really didn't like the way he was smiling.
"May I help you?" she asked.
"Actually, I can help you." he said. Aivenna instincts were telling her not to trust this kid. "You see I recently fond this and fond out it was yours." he hold up Aivenna's bag, which he was hiding behind his back.
"Thank you!" Aivenna never has been this relieved in her life, at last now Nivenna may not kill her. The boy give her the bag. Aivenna quickly looked inside to make sure Nivenna's journal was okay, but it was missing along with the three library books. She looked at the boy, who had an even bigger smile then before.
"Missing something?" he said in mischievous way. Aivenna know what he meant by that.
"Where are they?" Aivenna demanded.
"Some where safe. If you want them back then I suggest you get me something of equal value."
"There just books, they are not even worth much."
"True, but I don't think Nivenna would be happy you lost her journal filled with personal things." Aivenna was starting to hate this kid. Aivenna motioned him to come inside, so they could talk without any eavesdroppers.
"How do you know one was Nivenna's journal?"
"I used the books to translate the writing on the cover. After I know who it belonged to, I had an Underworld acquaintance of mine to open it up." Aivenna was shocked, knowing who it belonged to was one thing, but knowing what was inside was another. "At first I thought the bag belonged to her, but after going throw the other things, I know it had to be yours."
"I thought you humans write differently than us? How could you know what it said?" she asked. She know very little about humans, so she didn't know if he could read perimain.
"Most can't, but I learned that it makes things much more easier for me if I could read your writing style. Of cores it was not that difficult, since we do speak the same language. It's just our way of writing that is different."
Now that Aivenna knows he can read perimain. She has no chose, she needed the journal back.
"What do you want?"
"First, I want a scan of you."
"What do you mean first?"
"You don't think I want just one thing. No I want four things, one for every book." Aivenna didn't care about the library books, she could just pay for them.
"I don't want all of them I just want the journal." she stated.
"Well to bad, because that will be the last thing I will give you. And besides the longer I have the books the more time I have to translate the journal." Aivenna know that with out all the books it becomes harder to translate the mugical writing to perimian. So if she can get just one away from him then it will take longer to translate.
"Fine, scan me." the boy took out his red scanner and scanned her.
"Nice states. My name is Roderick, but everybody calls me Rick. I'll be back in a seconde." Rick ported out to go get the book, at last that was what Aivenna is hoping he is doing. A minute later, somebody was knocking on the front door. Aivenna oped the door and Rick came inside holding one of the books.
"Here you go." Rick gave Aivenna the book.
"Why didn't you just transport back in the house?" asked Aivenna.
"Because I don't have a scan of the inside of your house. A chaotic player needs a scan of a location to get there. Which brings me to the second thing a want." Aivenna know this will be a long night.
