Dragon's curse

chapter eleven

Death and the others are acting weird, I hope everything is ok with them. I fell asleep, I could be growing but I doubt that or it could be the Dragons curse and I think that is what it is. We will see what happens later on when they answer my question. You want to know what the funny thing is, I am not scared any more. It's like I no longer feel fear any more and I am kind of happy about that but I also feel bad that I can no longer feel fear.

Death smiled as she replied “We will be leaving tonight. It's all over, you won’t have to worry about Slit any more.”

Ash smiled as she asked “can I have a look around the building?”

Everyone looked at each other in surprise and stayed silent as they thought about how they were going to reply to her.

Suddenly, Gray appeared in the cell doorway and said “I can show her around and stay by her side to make sure nothing happens to her.”

Electro said “Ok but dont leave her side no matter what happens and keep her safe.”

“I promise I will keep her safe even if it kills me.” said Gray with a smile on his face as he looked at Ash.

Ash quickly hopped up off of the ground with joy as she skipped over to Gray's side and walked over to the lunchroom. The floor was spotless and there wasn’t a single spot of blood on the ground. Ash thought to herself, that spot on the floor is a little too clean as if they were hiding something but maybe I am overthinking it.

Gray asked as he looked at Ash, “Where do you want to go first?”

Ash replied “I don't know what there is to check out.”

“Would you like me to give you some options?” asked Gray enthusiastically.

Ash quickly replied “Yes I would love that.”

Gray asked as he squatted in front of Ash so that he could be face to face with her while standing few inches across from her, “here are the choices, we can go to the library, the arena, the alchemy center or the hidden room where the stuff that Slit took from people is located, where would you like to go Ash?”

Ashe replied “I have three places that you mentioned, I would like to go to. Those places are the alchemy center, the library and the hidden room.”

Gray then stood up and asked “Very well. How about the library first?”

Ash replied enthusiastically “Ok, let's go there.”

They quickly walked through the small hallway filled with dimly lit torches spread out through the hallway. Ash felt as if she was in a mine shaft and after a few moments of walking through the hallways, she clung to Gray nervously.

Gray asked “Are you a little scared?”

Ash replied “I um… I am a little nervous and I don't like the darkness.” 

After a few more long moments of walking, they reached a large double wooden door filled with strange writing covering the door. 

Gray said in an unknown language, “Open up the doors to the library god of the unknown.”

Suddenly, the doors opened up by themselves and they quickly walked into a room filled with twenty bookcases filled with different books. Ash looked around in amazement as she ran over to every shelf and started pulling out all the books she could carry.

Gray asked with a hint of surprise and delight on his face, “Are you going to be able to even read all those books.”

Ash asked “Nope, hey do you think they would mind if all the books went missing?”
