Harlow's POV:

As the bell rings to go home, we all say our goodbyes before parting ways. Today, I decided to go to the library to pick up some books.

As I head into the library, I head to the bottom floor where all of the oldest books are. Nobody really comes to the bottom floor so I have the floor all to myself. I look around for a light switch and turn it on, and I head to a new aisle to explore. I reach an aisle near the back and search the bookshelf. Suddenly, I hear a faint sound of whispering. I turn and look around and see a glowing yellow light three aisles down. I walk into the aisle and find the glow coming from a book. I pick it up and read, 'The Philosophy of Inter-dimensional Teleportation' by Killian Maegus. Hm, weird. I've never heard of Killian Maegus. I haven't heard of many authors though. Once I open the book, I flip to a bookmarked page. Abruptly, the glowing light disappears. I read the title, Inter-Dimensional Teleportation Spell. What. The. Fuck. This has to be fiction right?

"Attention all customers, the library closes in ten minutes. Please check-out your books at the front desk now. Thank you." A voice booms through the speakers on the ceiling.

I close the book and head upstairs to the front desk. I patiently wait in line until my turn is up and I give the librarian the book. She stares at me intently. Seconds feel like hours right now. Finally, she scans the book, and gives it back along with my due date receipt.

I nod at the librarian in thanks and she returns the gesture. As I walk away, I hear her whisper, "Good luck."

Hey, so I know this chapter was really short but I do have a reason. So basically if I were to add the second part of this chapter, it would lower the suspense level that we already have now. I was going to add something really mysterious and exciting but I decided it would be too much for this chapter so I'll have that part out tomorrow. But for now, you can expect an aesthetic chapter (chapter describing characters) coming out later today.

Stay safe! <3
