The Power of the Expiration Date [Completed]

Chapter 11

ETHAN POINT OF VIEW
"Isa, let's get going." It's completely dark at 9:00, but just in case I wait till 9:30 to go. It was weird sitting in a car completely full of silence, but Isa and I were both deep in thought.

We both open our doors and I couldn't help, but think back today. Today was so fun with Isa yes we had are ups and definitely our downs, but I wouldn't trade anything that happen today.

I smile at Isa who's coming to stand next to me. "You ready?" I say. She smiles back. "Ready as I'll ever be." She replies and together we head over to the library.

She walks to open the door I quickly grab her out stretch hand and tell her "you open the door it will set off a alarm and the Ministry man will be crowding this place." "I knew that I was just...do it for you to know?" She says unsure. "It's okay" I resured her. She smiles "thanks." I take her arm and link it with my arm and lead her to the back of the library.

ISA POINT OF VIEW
"It's a wall?" He still has his arm linked with mine it sort of feels awkward yet nice to have someone beside me when we do this. Ethan chuckles. "It's a secret entrance that won't set any alarm off." He joked. I feel myself blushing a little luckily it pitch black so he can't see me.

He walks forward, but I can't. I let go of his arm. Why? There's nothing to fear? I tell myself, but still... I don't know! "It's okay I'll be there with you." He resured me and it worked. I take his arm and link it with mine, and together we walk into the wall.
...
The library is amazing. Hundred thousands of books, and thousands of sections. I immediately go to the romance section I love those stories where they start off shaky and not really like each other, but then they go on adventures and fall in love. I skim through all the books spines until...

Ethan came into view looking a little mad. Snap. "I... forgot where to find the book so I just... started to look randomly." His eyes started to softened "Yeah okay just start on that side of the room. Mark said 'you pull down the torches.'" Okay, got it, although this Mark guy... "Can I ask you something real quick?"

He looks around like afraid something going to jump out of the shadows, but says "Quick go." "About this Mark guy. Can we trust him? How did you meet him? How does he know all this stuff? I mean yeah research, but can you really find this stuff based on research? On top of that don't you think it suspicious that he gives the mission, but doesn't want to see this book or want to know if you succeed? I mean wouldn't your boss want to know if you did it successfully or if you're okay for that matter? Does he know your expired? That last question is totally out of the blue, but as you can see I'm curious." I ended. He looks...not happy that I asked this and just brushed it off and left me saying "I trust him now quick let's hurry."

I run to my side and look toward Ethan who's avoiding me now, but that's not why I looked. There's over hundred torches we better get going.
...
We been doing this for thirty minutes still no luck and still no Ethan talking to me. I can't determine if it was because of me or if he was just thinking, but still I try to talk to him, but he never responds. I wish I can say because the library is so big you can't hear me on this side of it, but I also try mind speaking him, but that didn't work either.
....
An hour has passed and we still never found it. I never thought the mission would be like this I'm tired and I'm this close to collapsing to the ground to asleep, but I won't let Ethan down... I feel my eyelids drop. I quickly conjure up snow and throw it to my face.

"You okay?" I hear a familiar voice behind me. I turn to see Ethan facing me and a bunch of weird shadows by the torch lighting. I try to give my best smile, but turned out to be a weak smile. "Yeah, you find it?" I said really really hopeful. "No." He just crushed my dreams by one word. It took everything in me to not fall down on the ground and just die. I feel like I'm already the undead. He laughs and says "youre going to sleep earlier for now on." I couldnt help, but laugh and he couldn't help , but to laugh harder as he sees my face suddenly drop at the realization that were not done yet. Ethan quickly hugs me. I feel a book... "You Found It!" I hug him back. We can go home. The realization struck me that I was planning to leave after this mission. Maybe I can stay for a little while longer I don't have to leave anytime soon.
