MAIDS

chapter Four (ii)

#Edited

Driving to the library for both mother and daughter was quite. They were in their different worlds of thought.

Arriving the library they went to the librarian who looks like she is in her late fourty's and happens to be an elf.

Alexia greeted her with the best smile she could master and lied through her white pearls set of teeth to the librarian that they were new in the supernatural world and they would like to know about the rules, restrictions and orders of the world and her environment so she and her daughter won't break any rules.

The Elf whose tag read Maggie nodded her head not giving any expression that can be read or interpreted , as she continue to type something on her computer after about ten to fifteen minutes she asked for their address, Lex told her the address hoping that it does not create a seen or the worst part get to the bloodsuckers, but what baffles her the most was when she mentioned that they were staying at Patria the librarian was pale and in interval of seconds her expression and attitude changed from a moody and glumly librarian to a happy and cheerful one, she had a smile on her face and calm and welcoming attitude.

Maggie took the mother and daughter on a tour around the library as if they were pupils on excursion, until they got to a private part of the library where they could get any information they need without anyone disturbing them.
Although to an ordinary person from Patria will feel like royal and ignore the librarian's attitude but to Lex who has seen alot in the past two years the strange attitude of the librarian baffled her.

She thought about other humans and supernaturals that she had encountered outside Patria, how they treats them as if they were royals and they were from a different planet not only her but other residents of Patria.

She knows that Patria is inhabited by only humans who happens to be wealthy or average living family and it was as if there is a kind of barrier or rule because supernatural don't have any business so she thought until she was sucked by the vampires that came to her house when she was mourning her husband as if she were their favourite beverage.

'Ma what exactly are we to search for? ' Violet asked her mother breaking her out of thought. 'You are to find out anything you can learn about Patria, something put my mind unease concerning that area. while, I search about that family. Okay ' she said.
After what seems like eternity Lex could not find anything that has Vakian or First family, she was on her way back to Violet what she saw a small shelf which only had a book in it.
Out of curiosity she went closer to reach out for the what she saw was old and dusty,she dusted the book and saw the title of the book written in gold 'ORIGIN AND GENERATION'.
She took the book back to her sit where Violet was sitting jotting her findings from Patria.
Opening the book in reading about the first generation of magic she could not believe her eyes she saw a name that was the last she expected to find the name she had not heard in the past nineteen years under the second generation of magic Doris Leah Knights who happens to be her bestfriend they were more like sisters or so she thought.
She wondered what Doris name and portrait was doing in a supernatural family book. Lex remember that it was Doris who bought she and James to this world should them around and even got James a job Doris was around far a while in their lives to the extent she was Violet godmother.
Lex never suspected anything strange of her friend until her friend informed them that she was moving away with her husband. Lex was drained at the thought of her friend being a witch and never saw her fit enough to tell her what she was,she felt so stupid for even leaving the human world even the economy and life was not palatable it was home and nobody was above the law, she thought being a housewife was her regret now she knows nothing can compare to trusting Doris.
She brought her phone and took the remaining pages left in the book, when she was done she returned to book carefully to it rightful place. ' Violet are you through?'she asked Violet replied by nodding her head 'Let go home, there is alot more than I expected to find'. Alexia said.
