Siyn Blaine: House Of Sorcery

The Glistening Door

It's the next day and I'm back at the door of the school and I buzz the buzzer. Ms Faith clicked the button to open the door and let's me in. I walk through the halls towards Ms Bows classroom so I could go help out again today when a thought crosses my mind. Maybe I could go and check on room 403 right now to investigate. When I get to the stair case I look around to me to make sure no one was watching and then turned around for a quick detour. I quickly walk to the end of the hall where room 403 is and stop to analyze the situation. The door was chained shut with a padlock. What the hell? Ms Faith didn't believe me yesterday so why would she go this far to block the door? Something's not right here. If she really thought nothing was wrong she wouldn't have gone to these lengths to lock up the door. Right? I look down at my watch and realize if I stay around here I'm going to be late so I turn around and head back towards Ms Bows class.
     While sitting and waiting in the quiet class I think of a plan. Maybe I could catch the person doing it again, if they were going to do it again that is. All I would have to do is be there a little bit earlier to catch them in the act. All day I think about the possibilities that could happen if I caught them. What would I do if I catch them? What should I say? How would I stop them from running away from me? I'm snapped out of my thoughts by Ms Bows concerned voice. "Are you okay Siyn? I called your name a few times and you didn't answer, you seem a little spaced out." I look up at her and give her a quick smile."Oh no I'm totally fine, just a little distracted I guess." I assume that answer was good enough for her because she just continued to talk and instruct me on how to help the kids with their arts and crafts project. For the whole rest of the day I keep thinking about all the possibilities, and then the time came.
     Five minutes before it was time to go I tell Ms Bow I have to leave a little early and slip out of the classroom. I rush down the stairs and wait for a second scanning the area to see if anyone was around, it was quiet with seemingly no one around and then out of nowhere a figure suddenly goes rushing past me. That must be it! I start to chase it again but it was way faster than it was yesterday, I couldn't even keep up but I already knew where it was going. I finally make it to the hallway where the room was. The chains and lock were broken off of the door and scattered on the ground while the door was also left open a crack. I quietly move towards the door, this time afraid of what could be on the other side. Should I really go in there? This fast moving creature thing could be waiting to pounce on me on the other side. Wait I have to think rationally, if it wanted to take me out it has had multiple opportunities to do it today and yesterday. With that fear now gone from my mind I slowly open the door and take a look around.
     I step into a large, beautiful library. I've never seen anything like this in this building before, it was stunning. Walls filled with hundreds of books, desks and chairs, luxury rugs, it was all so breathtaking. I take in the view and have a look around still being on alert for whatever could be in here. I move through the library gazing at all the artworks and books that surround the room until I make it to the back. While I look around a gleam of light suddenly catches my eye. I walk straight towards it following the light. There is a door wide open with light so bright coming out of it that I can't even see what's on the other side. I freeze. I take one last look around making sure no one's around and that I didn't miss anything and then step sheepishly towards the door.
