Doors story

Chapter 15- Face to a fake face

Have you ever had moments where your instincts just tell you something isn't right? That's what happened to me upon entering the library. As soon as I stepped into the ruby red carpet of the library, my skin started to craw and my my soul left my body. I don't know why, but I had a bed feeling. But I shrugged it off.

"So, why are you here? Is it for school or..?" Val asked.

"We're just exploring places in Poland.." Eyes replied.

"I see..." Val said. "What books specifically are you looking for?"

I gulped. How were we supposed to tell her what we needed without telling her our secret?

"Uh..we're a bit interested in doppelgangers and all that stuff, do you know where those books are?" Eyes asked. Phew. Good thinking Eyes, I guess she really is a nerd.

"I'd say they're in the witchcraft or paranormal section." Valentina pointed to the right side of the hallway and led us there.

"Thanks..." I say, looking at her.

"You're welcome. I have to go now, I have to run some errands." Valentina then walked out the door, the sounds of her teal Valentino heels stepping trailed behind her.

"How about we all split up? Me and Eyes look in the paranormal section, and you guys look in the witchcraft." I suggested. I hoped they could hear what I said, as this was a library and we were supposed to whisper. The sound of the rain was no help. 

"Why don't we ask an assistant?" Rush asked.

"Let's try to find it ourselves first maybe, there were like 900 books here on how to stop doppelgangers." Eyes replied.

------------------------------

"You found anything yet?" Eyes asked.

"Not really, I'll have to look in the D area...hey, is that Screech?" I asked. Screech was standing in front of us, waving.

"Screech? Weren't you supposed to be helping them?" I asked.

"Huh- oh yeah- um- they didn't need my help so I came to help you guys. I'm just going to the bathroom." Screech replied, then running off to the toilets.

"Uh..okay.." Eyes looked at her a bit suspiciously but seemed to ignore it and continued with our search.

"I hope we-" I was cut off by a voice. 

"Hey, you guys found anything?" Screech was behind us, bent down. I was so confused although I probably shouldn't have been.

"Dang, how long was your piss time?" I joked.

"What do you mean?" Screech asked.

"You went to the toilet, and now you're back. You said they didn't need your help anymore, right?" Eyes questioned.

"I never said that and I never went to the toilet." Screech replied. 

"So that was a doppelganger again?" Eyes asked.

"I guess, should we tell them?" I asked.

"Nah, no point." Eyes replied.

Just then, we heard the sound of footsteps. There was no one in the paranormal section except for me, Eyes and Screech. But it was coming from the bathroom.

"Hey guys- who-" The doppelganger Screech was cut off. They were both here. The doppelganger and the real. "She" (refers to the doppelganger). They were standing facing each other, one looking terrified, and the other looked confused.

Screech and her doppelganger were now standing face to face.
