I thrust open the heavy library doors and ran inside. It was spookier than I had remembered. It was pitch black, like the time I went on a 9 mile hike at 10:30 at night through lava rocks. I was thankful we had brought 2 flashlights. Surprisingly, after my eyesight recovered, I saw no books.

Hmmmmm, that's strange, I thought to myself. How can there be no books?

"Melanie, are you in here?" Elizabeth called. Her footsteps echoed as she climbed up the steps. "Melanie, I see you."

Staying quiet, I tiptoed into the Sci-Fi section.  Please don't see me, I begged to myself.

At one point she was just one aisle away.  The light patter of her footsteps was too close.  Taking a risk, I ran into the Study Palace.  I took one look inside and let out a piercing scream.
