Encounter At The Library

.....

It's another snowy day in Negi Root City. Deep-Sea Girl, or her real name Shelby Gills, was sitting in her room. She's thinking about her boyfriend Alexiel Lucifen d'Autriche. She wants to do some research on him and the country he was born, Lucifenia.

Deep-Sea Girl: I need to go to the library.

She got up and went downstairs.

Deep-Sea Girl: Mom? Dad? Is it okay if I go to the library?

Deep-Sea Girl's Mom: What for?

Deep-Sea Girl: Um...it's boring here. I need something to do.

Deep-Sea Girl's Dad: Sure you can, Honey.

Deep-Sea Girl's Mom: But be sure you come back before dark.

Deep-Sea Girl: Thank you, Mom.

Shelby left the house.

Meanwhile, at Negi Root Public Library, Shelby was looking through all the books in the non-fiction section. She was getting frustrated because she couldn't find what she was looking for.

???: Do you need help, dear?

Shelby saw a rather gorgeous woman with green hair and green eyes like most of the Miku modules. She was wearing a green dress.

Deep-Sea Girl: Uh...yes. I'm looking for a book about Lucifenia.

???: Oh! That's what I'm looking for as well. They should be here in this section somewhere...Ah ha!

She pulled out a book with a golden cover. The title was "Lucifenia's History".

Deep-Sea Girl: Is that the only book here?

???: No. There's another one right here.

She pulled out another book titled "Lucifenia And Its Citizens".

Deep-Sea Girl: Awesome! Thank you so much.

???: My pleasure. What's your name?

Deep-Sea Girl: Oh, silly me. I'm Shelby Gills. Also known as Deep-Sea Girl.

???: It's very nice to meet you. I'm Michaela.

Deep-Sea Girl: That's a pretty name.

Michaela: You want to read together?

Deep-Sea Girl: Sure.

Meanwhile, the 2 girls were reading in peace.

Deep-Sea Girl: Wow. There's so much history in Lucifenia that I didn't even know about.

Michaela: I know right?

Deep-Sea Girl: It says here that Riliane is 23 days older than Alexiel. But they're still considered as twins. Alexiel was not even ready to come out yet. I didn't know that.

Michaela: By the way, why are you so interested in Allen Avadonia anyway?

Deep-Sea Girl: He's my boyfriend. I'm interested in getting to know him and the country he was born.

Michaela: I see...

Deep-Sea Girl: Are you alright, Michaela?

Michaela: Yes, I'm fine. It's just that...

Deep-Sea Girl: What?

Michaela: Nothing. Congratulations on the new boyfriend.

Deep-Sea Girl: Do you know Alexiel or something?

Michaela: I did. A long time ago. I...was Allen's crush.

Deep-Sea Girl: Wait a minute.

She turned to a page of Michaela. She looked at the book and then at Michaela, and then back at the book.

Deep-Sea Girl: You're THE Michaela? Michaela Arklow?

Michaela: Yep, that's me.

Deep-Sea Girl: But...how are you alive? Aren't you supposed to be dead?

Michaela: I don't know what happened, to be honest. One minute, I was buried six feet under back in Lucifenia, and the next, I was here and alive.

Deep-Sea Girl: Huh. How long have you been here in Negi Root City?

Michaela: A few days at most. But I've been trying to find what happened to Allen. I've heard that he lives here now.

Deep-Sea Girl: Allen? You mean Alexiel?

Michaela: No, Allen is his name! He told me so himself!

Deep-Sea Girl: Alexiel is his birth name.

Michaela: You're lying! His name is Allen!

Deep-Sea Girl: No, it's not!

Michaela picked up Deep-Sea Girl by the neck, choking her.

Michaela: Tell me where I can find Allen. If you don't, I'll kill you here and now.

Deep-Sea Girl: (starting to cry) Alright, just don't kill me! He lives in a golden castle. It's about a 30-minute walk that way.

She pointed right.

Michaela: Thank you for your cooperation.

She suddenly disappeared while still holding Shelby. Memoria, or her real name Melanie, saw all this. She went over to the phone and called the police.

Memoria: Yes... Shelby Gills has been kidnapped by this woman wearing a green dress...I don't know where they went! They just disappeared...Yes...Thank you.

She then proceeded to call Riliane and Alexiel and told them that Shelby has been kidnapped. She hung up about a minute later.

Memoria: Shelby, please be okay.
