In Royal Heels

Achievement complete: the library of hell

The next day I went to the library so I can complete my mission of messing Mr. Iceberg's life forever. Even though libraries are my nightmares, I'm ready to go through hell in order to do what I please.
I expected to find Mr. Iceberg reading on a chair that is not far from the entrance, with bookshelves here, bookshelves there, you know... Your average library setting.

But when I entered, the library resembled a maze. What I saw are stupidly high wooden bookshelves stacked with millions of books. I looked at the door I entered from and I saw a sign written on it "door 4". What?! Don't tell me that this library has 4 entrances...if not more.
I looked at a map on the door. I would've mistaken that this map is for a mall if they didn't write "Map of the Royal Library". If anything, this library is fucking huge.

Since Mr. Iceberg is nowhere in sight where I'm standing, I guessed that I gotta go deeper in the library to find him. "I am soo gonna get lost here.." I mumbled to myself.
Minutes later I sighed," yep I was right" as I looked around the scary shelves searching for an exit. I do not do well in mazes, my attention span isn't helping me at all. Everything I didn't see before grabs my attention making me forget why I was here.

Now that I mentioned it, why was I here again? I was thinking hard that I felt that my brain is gonna explode till I saw a nice painting. Forgetting what I was thinking about, I gaped at the painting.
"N-no! Focus" I slapped myself. But then my eyes laid on a gorgeous looking sculpture, "why is this sculpture in a library anyway? What if it's not a library, a museum? No if it was a museum there would be not that many books, what if these books are just for decoration and this is a museum? No why would museums have books, they're not that historical. Except if they were guide books, that would make sense. But then these books aren't for decorations right? So the question remains, is it a library or a museum... Oh wait! The map on the entrance said its a library, oh well silly me." I laughed.

"Wait what is this place and what am I doing here again?" I questioned my self. DAMMIT! Don't tell me my talkative brain shifted my thoughts once again. Like seriously, from where were these random thoughts about museums coming from. Ughhhhhhhhhh....
Ok I'm gonna start looking for a map because I'm lost in a library, "do not forget that do not forget that do not forget that..." I whispered to myself over and over as I rubbed my head.

And finally my eyes spotted something useful, a map!!! Yay yay yay yay oh my God I can't believe myself, I'm gonna get outta here! After I had an I took an Oscar award moment, I looked at where the map was placed and put some thought into it. Feeling my neck hurt as I glanced at the 20th shelf, I just wondered,
"WHO PUTS A FUCKING MAP IN THE FUCKING 20th SHELF."

I carefully climbed one of the ladders that was placed beside every section. "COME ON WHY AREN'T THERE ANY ELEVATORS. Elevators beside a bookshelf would be so cool, it's kinda funny looking though. What if I'm the one who invents it? So I'm gonna get myself some good money. I'm gonna put some thought into it when I grow up and learn how to be useful." Getting distracted by the thought of having elevators attached to every shelf in a library , one of my feet slipped.
I felt air rush through my body from behind as I prepared for a painful fall. Oh no...I felt my trembling hands slip from their grasp. Now I wish I was I cat more than anything so that I can land on my feet while still looking as cute as hell. Looks like I'm not landing on my feet nor gonna look cute. I let out a brief scream as my body detached from the ladder.
I tightly shut my eyes as I thought that my life is about to end because of a silly fall while looking for a map that is placed in an illogical place.

I stopped falling, but it didn't hurt. Am I dead? My eyes as tight as ever, I felt arms wrapped around my body. What if.... I'm not actually on the ground...
"You okay...?" A familiarly cold voice echoed in my ears. I opened my eyes that were blurry with fear to find that Mr. Iceberg is carrying my body in his arms.

It was so embarrassing that I wanted to disappear, but I was too scared to worry about such things now. Oh God my body is trembling so bad, I do not recover as fast in these close calls to death situations. "Hey...It's over now.." He said, but I kept breathing quickly... I can't breath! He slowly kneeled on the ground so he can drop me. "The library cafeteria is not far from here.." He said.
But my trembling legs couldn't stand on their own, I can't feel them. No way...The symptoms are showing again. My head started to burn. Sighing, he lifted me up again and carried me to the cafeteria.

After some time, I regained enough consciousness so I can blush as my head was bouncing on Mr. Iceberg's chest while he walked... I heard his heart beats. It's kind of bizarre how such a cold guy didn't have his heart frozen yet.
But after all, he did save me. Then he didn't abandon me and carried me by himself when I couldn't walk. He is such a nice guy...

But then he stopped walking. "I know you can walk now.... Your heart beats regulated and you stopped trembling." He said in a way that immediately made me regret describing him as nice. "Now stop acting in a spoilt manner, after all you shouldn't let your guard down when a guy is carrying you."
He slipped me from his arms and I fell hard on my butt. He casually continued walking and I had to move my bruised ass to catch up.

*minutes later*

I sipped my tea as I looked at Mr. Iceberg's stupid emotionless face.
"I found you while I was looking for some books," he said. "And let me tell you this, you need to stop distracting yourself this often, especially when you're lost."

He opened a random book on some page and started talking again, "I was bored so I wanted to test you, so I put a map on the a bookshelf above you while you were not looking." I smiled thinking that I passed his test since I found the map. "But you were so stupid that you didn't suspect the place where the map was..." He added, crushing my ego.

"I thought that some guy who wanted a book left the map there accidentally or something, lots of stuff could happen that can cause the map to end up in that place." I defended myself.
He narrowed his eyebrows,"That's an interesting way of thinking.....but your imaginative way of excuses to suspicious stuff won't do you good."

I held my cup of tea tightly as I tried to control my anger. "The thing is... Your reaction to the fall was kind of unusual. You were trembling like a truck and almost fainted.." He said lowering the book in his hands and staring coldly at my eyes.
Great, now he thinks I'm a weak, spoilt girl who is afraid of everything and faints due to many stuff. But he doesn't know that that was- "a medical condition, is it?" He said loudly to himself. Now that I finished my delicious tea, I didn't wanna hear another genius remark about how stupid I am. I stood up and excused myself, until he said, "Take care of yourself, your health seems to be in a critical phase...."

I briefly turn around to find that his head is facing a direction opposite of my glance. Did he just say that? Whatever... "Thank you." I said before speed walking toward an exit...
