Game On.

Library of shadows

A dark corridor stretched out before them. But that wasn't what had stopped them dead in their tracks. No, it was the blue eyed figure that stepped out of the shadows. Cat stifled a small gasp. It was him, the man from years ago. Unconsciously, she moved her hand up to her necklace.
She shifted behind Luke, looking at her feet to avoid his gaze. Her loose hair fell around her face like a curtain. Luke spoke up. "Who are you and what have you done with my brother?"
Julian smile was dark and wicked. "Why, I personally haven't done anything with your brother." he purred "though I can't say the same for my sister. But as for names, well, that I can help you with." He gave a mocking bow "Julian, and you are... No, don't tell me." He began to walk along the line, naming them as he went. "Queen bee, Sheep, the funny one, over-protective brother aaand.... kitten." Cat looked up to see him standing in front of her, staring into her eyes. And at that moment she knew. He recognized her as much as she did him. And he knew that she did.

He broke their gaze first, turning back to the group in general. "And now I suppose im going to have to take you to my sister. Ah, well, follow me." And he turned and walked into the darkness. Everyone shared a look, then one by one filed down the tunnel.

At the end of the tunnel room, lit in dim light was a library, unlike any library they had ever seen. The bookshelves were made of rough hewn wood and decorated with strange items and patterns. Looking up, they could see many more floors spiralling up into the tower, linked by twisted staircases. Julian was casually leaning on one of the bookshelves next to a desk. Sitting on top of the desk was Talitha. Unlike her brother, whose was dressed solely in black, she wore a short, baby-pink dress and jacket. Her hair cascaded down her back in pale blonde ringlets. Mentally, Cat groaned. This girl struck her as another Lindsay. No, this girl looked like the girl Lindsay wanted to be. People like this just oozed beauty and popularity. Unfortunately, this came with a side helping of spite, jealousy, and pleasure in other peoples pain.

Talitha smiled innocently. She spoke, her voice soft and girly.
"Welcome to the library of shadows!"
