not everything is as it seems.. Rowan Laslow x Reader

chapter 2

I went through the rest of my day thinking about Rowan. Now, it's 8:50 and I'm getting ready to leave. "Remember, if you need anything just text me." Bianca says as I head out "I will!" I respond.

I walk to the library in dark with nothing but my phone's flashlight to light the way. I turn into the library but I don't see Rowan. As I walk towards the back someone whispers "y/n" I turn around to see Rowan standing there with a journal in his hand, his free hand grabs mine "what's going on?" I whisper, he leads me out into one of the halls ignoring my whispers. This particular hallway has a statue of Edgar Allen Poe in it, when Rowan arrives at the statue he snaps twice and the statue moves backwards revealing a staircase. He guides me down into the dark room and I hear the statue move again closing the entrance.

"What is this place?" I ask him

"This, is an old library full of journals and much more. It's secret. That's why I brought you here." he replies

"Wait why did you want to talk to me?"

"This," he says pointing to the journal in his hand "this is Sydney's she left it in one of her classes I picked it up and looked through it trying to figure out who is was and look." He shows me a picture that's taped into the journal, it's of a monster with big eyes and snarling teeth. "Now it not might seem like much but then she goes on to write about how she was attacked on her way into town. And with the other murders that have happened I think this," he says gesturing to the picture "has something to do with it"

"Even if it does why are you telling me this?" I respond to his rant

"Well your in my group and I feel like I can trust you. I don't know why I just do."

"Oh." I say kind of shocked that he would come to me.

"Also I was down here looking for a book that my mom had wrote but it's gone. Someone has it, and I need to find it. It's one of the only things I have left of her."

"Oh Rowan I'm so sorry. We're gonna find it i promise." I assured him "and we're gonna find out what's going on with Sydney."

"Thank you" he says hugging me "I'm sorry if that was weird." He says pulling away quickly putting his hand up.

"No, your okay!" I reply "I'll talk to Sydney tomorrow morning, how about we meet here again tomorrow night?"

"Yeah sounds good. Also can we keep this between you and me?" He asks

"Yeah of course." I say

He walks me back to my room. I walk in and see Bianca already asleep, I change into my pajamas and head to bed. As I'm falling asleep someone whispers to me "be careful of Sydney.." I awaken looking around Bianca is still sound asleep and it's just me and her in the room. I settle myself down and I finally fall asleep.
