The maze of a hundred books.

As the wind blows past their faces Scarlett and Savannah walk carefully down the dark Erie staircase to the unknown finally reaching the end of the stairs they find themselves in a long twisted hallway filled with books.

"Why more books" Savannah Groaned

"It's most differently telling you to read more" she scoffed.

"Excuse you? Did I not buy like 5 books yesterday? Also remind you, they were nearly one hundred dollars!" she spoke in an annoyed tone as they were still talking. They heard a grotesque wet noise slosh down the stairs 'splat'. 'Splat' 'splat' before a head with its lower jaw missing rolled down covered in blood.

"...i-is that," Savannah said weakly

"Ethan the boy from my class," Scarlett said holding her mouth and stomach.

Before they could process what had happened they quickly heard heels walk down the stairs as a hand held the wall with black nails before they could see more Scarlett quickly grabbed Savannah.

"Let's go!" Scarlett quickly yelled as she pulled Savannah along while running through the long hall of books passing by different kinds of books and banners depicting wars and famine death and what seemed to be a woman with long silver hair and tattoos and a doll-like body being chained.

"Stop You're hurting my arm, Scarlett!" Savannah quickly pulled away and stopped.

Scarlett stopped and looked past Savannah looking in worry.

"Come on I don't want us to get killed!.." Scarlett said with fear

"She not behind us don't worry.." she said worried for Scarlett.

"I am behind you." Ms. Scilith said with anger before raising her hand and hitting Savannah sending her into a bookshelf.

"SAVANNAH!." Scarlett quickly punched Ms. Scilith and pushed her onto a shelf as well before running to Savannah

"Are you okay?!" she held Savannah.

"Y-yeah.." she said her voice hoarse.

Ms. Scilith slowly got up and cracked her head and hands before turning her nails into claws and walking toward them. The girls got up slowly, holding each other before Scarlett realized something.

"My sword!." Scarlett exclaimed

"Sword?!" Savannah said confused

"Doesn't work like that hunny!~" Ms. Scilith said

Scarlett looked annoyed as she stood steady in front of a bruised Savannah before she heard a voice

"She right it doesn't but I can help"

a voice said quietly it startled Scarlett until she realized the voice was Natori.

"Natori?" Scarlett asked quietly

"Yes I am here for you." she quickly guided Scarlett's hand upwards with her own before summoning her sword.

"My sword will heed you in this battle until the end" Her sword was dark and had purple accents she quickly disappeared.

The sword appeared as it shocked both Ms. Scilith and Savannah.

"Where did that come from." Ms. Scilth asked annoyed

"Doesn't matter!" she quickly ran at her and clashed with the claw.

Savannah quickly looked around and saw something under one of the massive bookshelves she took this time to run and grab it before she got to the sword stabbed into the ground in front of her she looked at Scarlett she was holding Ms. Scilith pinned to the bookcase.
