Nico woke up, sweating, in the middle of the night. In the atheneum too, obviously.

<<Not again.>> He said loudly. He stopped caring as soon as he realised he was alone.

The disappearance of the book shook his mind as it was some far memory. Although it was not and he had to deal with the reality. How could he ever meet Will?

In the deep darkness he tried to recollect himself without falling, trying to walk avoiding all the shelves. If he had ever hit one, it would have fallen on him; he preferred his body when it had all of its pieces attached.

Tum, tum. Muffled noises were echoing in the huge library. Nico's heart sank.
<<Not again!>> He thought.

His teeth were already trembling, his legs were shaking but there was no moon to light the room a bit so he could escape.

He walked carefully, trying to get away as soon as possible while avoiding crushing. When he turned around, a dim light was pointed on his face.

He covered it with his arms as it was bling him. He could not see anything.
<<The guardian.>> he thought. <<Now I am in big troubles.>>

<<I am sorry.>> He said trying to explain everything. <<I fell asleep here and was going...>>

He was interrupted by another voice, which did not sound like an adult's voice.

<<Nico?>> The voice said while turning the light off.
