What if someday somehow someone crosses the barrier built between the seen and unseen?
Will that person remain sane?
Every living being thirsts for love. However that warm form of "love" can't be considered warm anymore when it comes from an unexpec...
Right now I'm at Antony's house. After the call of Thomson. I went to Antony's house to tell him about everything. Then I played with his cats on his yard a little. Now sitting on his dining table researching a little about jinns. Because to keep myself and my dearest ones safe from him , I need to know his characteristics,his weaknesses and his strong points. However, I didn't find anything helpful but I did find a book. An ancient book. But it's only available in famous libraries not in online.
I went to this library often. I decided to look for that book in there.
"Rafa, will you go with me to the library?" Rafa looked at me from the kitchen
"I'm cooking dinner right now. I can go when I'm done" she gave me nod and a cute smile..
Rafa is 22. She had been nursing here for 3 years. And we've become good friends. She's so sweet and very modest. She had to become a nurse to pay his college fees. She has no one to be called family. She looks after Antony and a 93 year old woman across the street and they are her family including me. She always accompanied me like my own sister
"Ok done, let's go" Rafa said after 30 minutes. I was emerged in researching all this time
"Ok let's go"
We took a cab and went to the 'West hill library'. This library is enormous in size and contains books of all categories which never ceased make me excited. I come here alone and sometimes with Liz or sinthia. But they're not a reading person so I don't bring them here anymore.
"Wow..this place is amazing" Rafa said with shimmer in her eyes.
"I knew, you would love it" I was finding the mythology section silently.
I told Rafa to text me at the time of leaving since calling isn't allowed and went on a different direction to find the book. The book is century years old so this might be a little hard. I searched the whole section to find nothing Then my eyes fell on a stuff. I know her very well
"Hey , could you please tell me where I could find this book" I asked her
"Umm. It looks very old. How old it might be?" She said looking at the picture of the book I showed her
"About a century?..I guess" I told her being confused
"A century..We updated this library with up to date books.Normally you wouldn't find This book in display" She gave me sympathetic smile
"Where I could find the old books?"
"In the reserve room. But only stuff can enter there..I'll give you the keys. Just don't tell anyone. Ok?"
"Ok but. If anyone sees me?"
"Just say you are my friend and I sent you there to bring something"
"Ok..thank you so much Sara" I saw her name on shirt badge.
"What's your name? I must say you are a very sweet girl"
"It's Mariana thank you" I blushed a little
"Sweet name for a sweet girl.Follow me, I'll show you the reserve room" I followed behind her. We went through a hallway which leads to the back of the library. The hallway had little lights and led to a enormous metal door. Sara unlocked the door with keys.
The room is enormous and it had many sections. There was about 20 large bookshelves. I looked over my shoulders at Sara
"Do u need help in finding the book?" She looked busy so I nodded a no to her Then she continued to say " there's sections of books according to the date. You can find them easily. But the amount of books it has says it will hamper your time a lot"
"It's ok..I need that book urgently" I said.. I also don't know how I would find that book..there's tons of books in here..
"Ok, be careful; Not to make any noise" she left not before giving me a smile
I looked at the shelves. 'i can do it' ...u I always loved reading books. Books have feelings, books are alive to me... I feel like a billionaire staying in a room full books. A century...hm.. 20th century.. I started looking for that book..everywhere. there's so much dust in here!

It's been more than 1 hour. And I still couldn't find that book. But I found a book similar to that. I started reading it immediately standing behind one of the bookshelf.
And then I get to know that, jinns are made of smokeless fire. Like fire? Is that why the temperature increases when he's there? Then I found out that not all Jinn can shape shift. Either he have to be a bad jinn or he has to practise spirituality. Also there's many categories of jinns like ghoul, Hina, Marid etc..Bad jinns are often considered as demon in other religions
As I was reading the book..when suddenly I was hearing some noises as if someone has entered the room. Who might enter the room? Sara? I put down the book and carefully tried to peek to see if there's someone. I couldn't see someone. As I turned around...I came face to face with something..or someone's face..the face was so black and their red eyeballs were literally out, their were deep scratches on its face. Fresh blood was coming out of them. A creepy wide smile placed o his face Which reached to its ears. It's creepy big smile shows it's disgusting black teeth. The room was immediately filled with a nasty smell that it was making everything of my stomach come out
My breath was stuck in my throat. I was frozen on my place...that disgusting face started coming closer to me. I was stepping backwards.
"Mariana" His voice was husky and deep
"Mariana" he again called out my name
I was about to recite the dua when something came across us and the second this creature's head was on the floor. Blood was gushing out of his body. A paranoid noise left my mouth and I fall backwards on the floor trying to stay away from it.
The body disappeared. Like it just vanished in the air.
Was I dreaming!!!? No I can't dream all this! Who was this!?
Then I realized, the room wasn't filled with that disgusting smell anymore.
It was filled with fragrances of rose and burnt woods....
Zain...?
