Destiny

Chapter 2

I quickly strode over to the ominice red door and without hesitation turned the knob, opened the door and stepped inside.

The smell of books hit me as soon as I closed the door. I had stepped into a huge library, there was a red spiral stair case in front if me leading all the way up to the top floor on each floor there was railing with a beautiful swirly design in each panel. Books lined the shelves colorful and bright.

I walked over to the stair case inhaling the familiar smell books as I walked, that smell will never get old to me. I made my way up to the top floor looking below me before I made my way thorough another door right by the top of the stairs.

There I stood in a tiny study, books littered the floor, stacked high above me; although I was quite short. In the middle of all this mess was a big oak wood desk stacked with not only books but paper. Paper filled with unfinished stories, adventures waiting to be read.

Suddenly a head popped up from behind the desk. A pair of dark brown eyes looked at me filled with joy and compassion. The Magic Man shot up from his desk and enveloped me in a big warm hug. "Raven. Oh how I missed you!" he exclaimed in his deep but soft voice. I laughed.
"I've missed you too." He let me go and looked me over. "My, how you've grown!" he said a twinkle in his soft brown eyes.

"You saw me a week ago!" I said laughing.

"It might as well have been years." he said winking.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got here as quick as I could." I said exasperated.

He sighed "My dear, get some books and be quiet."

I laughed as I walked out of his study. I climbed down the steps till I was on the second floor of the library. I walked around till I was on the opposite side of the stair case. I searched the shelves so very well known to me.

Once I had picked my book I headed back up to the study. I stopped short, I heard the deep voice of the Magic Man talking to someone with a deep voice but not as deep as the Magic Man's voice. Someone else in the library? Panic washed over me. I thought I was the only one who knew about this place. Before I knew what I was doing I rushed down the stairs and back into the Mess Hall. I didn't stop until I was back into my dorm room. There I plopped down on my bed and fell fast asleep.

I woke to Scarlet shaking me. I grumbled and rolled over to were I was facing the wall. But, Scarlet being who she is, wasn't going to give up that easily. She left for about a minuet then came back ripped the blanket off of me and dumped a cup of water on my head. I got up imideatly because the water was like ice.

"What the hell!" I yelled at her my anger bubbling up inside of me.

"It's free day and you slept in to late." she said shrugging

"Why, you little." I said stepping closer to her. She giggled. "What is so funny?" I demanded

"Your breath.....the water....your scream." she was laughing so hard she fell on the floor.

"Ugh." I gave out a exasperated sigh.

I walked over to the bathroom ready to get under some warm water.

Free day. Is what you would call the weekend except we only have one day. And even then we still have rules on our so called 'free day'. We can't go out side, no boys are allowed in girls dorms and vise versa. We can't go every where in the school ( the class rooms are locked) and if we are not on time for meals we don't get to eat.

How I usually spend my free day is ether studying or sleeping. But no that couldn't happen today. Scarlet had other plans. So I spent the day being dragged around by my best friend. First we went to the art room which was technically a class room but it was only open on free days. Griff of course met us there. So I spent a whole two hours in a class were I had absolutely no talent in at all. Once we left art we just wandered the halls talking and being loud. I hadn't seen Theron all day which I can't decide is a bad or good thing. Probably it's for the best since he didn't even know who I was.

Soon lunch came around. We got our food and hurried to our table; we were starving. Most of the time we would joke and goof around but we were to hungary to do that. "Sssooo?" Scarlet said pretending to be nansaulaunt "Griff who was that girl you were talking to?" He seemed taken aback.

"Oh? Alyssa? That was nothing." he said squirming in his seat not looking us in the eyes.

"Ooooh Griffin has a crush." me and Scarlet say at the same time.

"No I don't." Griffin said looking down his cheeks turning slightly pink.

"Aww Griff it's ok." Scarlet said giggling.
That's when the bell rang. We sat there waiting for the herd of wild teens to lessen so we could make an escape for the exit.

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

The rest of the day was boring. We just teased Griffin, ate dinner and did more art. Of course today I tried to push the library out of my head and I was successful until it was time for bed. So I am laying here awake staring into the dark wondering how someone got into the library. I made sure that no one saw me or followed me. How could I not know? Why didn't the Magic Man tell me? Who knew about it? Those were my last thoughts as I drifted of into sleep.
